Nasi Lemak 2.0 [2011]

 Filem ini dianggap kontroversi hanya kerana ia dihasilkan oleh seorang individu yang kontroversi, Namewee. Saya cuba menontonnya dari perspektif berbeza, mengasingkannya daripada reputasi Namewee yang dianggap rasis dan pernah menghina lagu Negaraku.

Filem komedi ini sarat dengan sindiran sinis terhadap ahli politik, sentimen perkauman dan masyarakat secara amnya. Ia menggunakan sekitar 75% Bahasa Mandarin dan selebihnya Bahasa Melayu, Tamil dan Inggeris. Jujurnya, komedinya mungkin tidak berapa saya fahami kerana terpaksa menggunakan sarikata.

Keseluruhannya, ia merupakan sebuah filem komedi yang sederhana. Cuma ada banyak adegan yang bagi saya mungkin tidak relevan dengan jalan cerita (atau mungkin saya tidak nampak kerelevanannya).

Saya mungkin tidak suka dengan gaya penyampaian Namewee, tetapi bagi saya filem kritik sosial dan provokatif sebegini harus lebih banyak diterbitkan oleh penerbit filem tempatan. Malah, berani saya katakan bahawa filem ini 'lebih mempunyai pemikiran' berbanding dengan kebanyakan filem Melayu masakini.

The Miami charmest serial -killer is back with the premiere of 6th season was aired on 2nd of October 2011.

Season 01 [2006]
Main Plots: Dexter vs 'Ice Truck Killer'. Dexter digging deep about his past, his mother and estranged brother.

Season 02 [2007]

Season 05 [2010]
Main Plots: Dexter meet new a soulmate and partner in crime, Lumen. Together, they hunting the group of rapist, torturer cum murderer of 'Barrel Girls' case, while Quinn chasing their shadows. Debra vs 'Santa Muerte'.

Season 04 are definitely my favourite. Unexpected ending, unexpected plots, and Dexter fucked up every now and then. Season 02 are quite boring, Dexter just spend his time to cover up his tracks from Lundy and Doakes. But still a good season.

Hopefully I will see more of Lumen (Julia Stiles) on Season 05, but until now there's no clear indication whether she'll come back or not.

Terra Nova [20]

Title> Terra Nova
Nation> US
Pilot Dates> 26th September 2011
Genre> Drama, Science Fiction
Number of Episodes> 13
Channel> Fox (US)

Its not as good I as expected. Basically a hybrid between Avatar, Lost and Jurassic Park. An early hype not helping much.

But after all, its still an early days. The series have an enormous potential. Big windows of timeline (2149 travel back to 85 million years) offers a limitless possibilities. Technologies beyond imagination, ancient creatures etc.

Nevertheless, its still a good stuff from a production associate to Steven Spielberg. After mediocre show of Falling Skies, this series will be a good remedy.

Synopsis

The show begins in the year 2149, a time when all life on planet Earth is threatened with extinction due to dwindling worldwide air quality and overpopulation. It has become virtually impossible for humanity to survive, and almost no vegetation exists. At Hope Plaza, a massive ring shaped structure in Chichago, scientists discover a rift in space-time that allows people to travel 85 million years back in time, but in an alternate timeline (thus avoiding paradoxes caused by reverse-flow time travel), offering a chance to save humanity. The Shannon family (father Jim, his wife Elisabeth, and their three children Josh, Maddy, and Zoe) join the tenth pilgrimage of settlers to Terra Nova, becoming part of the first human colony on the other side of the temporal doorway.

The Shannon Family starts a new life in Terra Nova while having to deal with carnivorous dinosaurs and the Sixers (a splinter faction that has been opposed to Terra Nova ever since arriving in prehistoric times during the sixth pilgrimage).
