Movie Review: Takers part 2

Now that i have a press kit from Nuffnang, its way easier for me to do a review. Hehe

TAKERS as the title of the movie says it, portrays a group of criminals executing a bank heist. One thing they are sure of is that they are very well organized, does their research really well, and most importantly, they are clean in execution and lies low after each heist. But the real movie here is when they attempt to make a robbery on the bank trucks in less than a week. Though they had everything worked out nicely, lets just say that the truck did not fell into the trap. With a little fast and furious by Paul Walker, the trucks ended in the pits of hell. More issues happen after that including a dead cop which was having some financial issues.

The only downside for me was that some parts were too predictable, and I don't really like the ending which could have been even better if they put more effort into it like the start. But good movie nonetheless.

Just go watch the movie and if you are like me, a real stingy person, and don't want to waste your time, the running time of the movie is slightly more than 100 minutes, though not long, but the story and actions is good. Definitely beats watching lovey dovey movies, but I did enjoy watching HACHIKO, that aside, I recommend the movie, but just don't get your hopes too high and you will really enjoy it, heck, I think even with high hopes you might be leaving the cinema with a grin!

Below are some of the screens:

Thanks Nuffnang!

Movie Review: Takers

I know the movie isn't out yet in Malaysia, but lets just say I was in Mid Valley last night watching it!

And this is what I got for going there yesterday.

No, its not just a silver brick, its a

No, it ain't a pencil case! Have you guess it?

Its a Pen-like screwdriver. I wonder do they use these for robberies? Oppsss, lets not spoil it for you who haven't watch it yet.

Though this was not the thing that I wanted, lets just quote from the movie, can't really remember the exact line, but it goes something like this: 'We're Takers'

This was my pass, I believe you can watch this movie starting on the 28th October 2010.

And somehow its my number, 13, even my MMU (Cyber) Jersey is 13, as well as my old And One Jersey.

Ok, I was fortunate enough to be invited by Nuffnang to join this premier

So thanks Nuffnang for the ticket but so-so only for the gift

These were  among the other gifts, though I don't see where my gifts fall under.

- 5 x Limited Edition Takers Laptop Sleeve

- 5 x Limited Edition Takers Belt Looped Key Holder

- 5 x Limited Edition Takers Travelling Clock

Ok, enough with the above, now lets get into the movie. the star line-up is very very good:
Matt Dillon, Paul Walker, Idris Elba, Jay Hernandez, Micheal Elay, Tip "T.I" Harris, with Chris Brown and Hayden Christensen.

Alright, if you are like me, most likely the only name that stood out was Paul Walker from Fast and Furious, and Chris Brown. Hehe.

The whole movie revolves around thieves, not your ordinary thieves, these bunch are high profile type, they hit fast and hard, does their research properly and they are brilliant, especially how they escaped on the FEDCAL heist! Well, how did they managed to escaped from a heist in a building which they have disabled the lift, you gotta go watch it.

My conclusion is that this movie is good, real good, though predictable but it is still a good movie to be enjoyed.

The story is nice with a rather similair ending to the first fast and furious. Hehe. Thats all, for more, go read other review that might reveal more, I will just say that, reading anymore and it will spoil the movie for you.

Double parking bad?

How many times has we seen people double parking, I mean if sometime you ter-park out of line a little is ok la, sometimes its cause you didn't notice, sometimes its due to certain reasons, but no forgiveness to those who double park like no ones business, I mean if it is at a place where there are plenty of car parks, and not much people parks there, by all mean, triple park and no one cares, but at certain place where car park is limited, please park properly, or at least leave some space so that a normal sedan car can park!

Double and triple park is bad enough for us, but the worst thing is to do it at the handicapped area, I know that most of the time these car parks are free and most likely no handicapped will park there, but what if you did that and then some poor handicapped fellow is frantically searching for a car park?

Old saga taxi are out, coming in is Lancer?

How long has it been that the old faithful is here? The old driver trying to sell you his service in his beat-up old saga/iswara?

Once you are in, you are greeted with torn/worn out cushions and sunken seats. If you are lucky the air-cond is still cold. 

Now imagine that we hope from that to this!

It looks great right. Now on a totally different segment, I also bet that most of you have seen this happening around the world.

Which also means that:

And then you have our Malaysian version, I've seen them on highway numerous times, but lately not that often

Now for the issue!

If you are driving the new Proton Inspira, and next to you is the above, our police variant of the Evo X, I believe you will feel somewhat good. But, what if you are driving the Proton Inspira and driving in KL, every few cars you will see the all new Proton Inspira TAXI! I guess it can be rather demotivating to drive it, and value will be shot down. 

So should we get the new Inspira as our taxi like these countries are doing?

Or should we just stick to the old faithful?

Warning! Nipple ahead

Saw this pic while looking up on some tattoo, and it was creative yet weird. I definitely won't be doing things like this though.

I want to warn you first, what has been seen cannot be unseen. So please, brace yourself and look at your own risk ok.

Fire Exit??

What is the purpose of fire exit? To let people get out when there is fire? To let fireman in when there is fire?

What ever purpose it serves, it surely isn't for locking people in/out right. To my amazement, there is one particular mall who has their fire exit to do just that, lock people inside from going out and vice versa. I wonder what will happen when there actually is a fire? Do they expect their staff to go open it for the people? Who is in charge of opening it? How many people will open it during the dire times of emergency? How many fire exits must be opened? What will happen if the person in charge is on leave?

Fire exit are meant to be closed at all times and open during emergencies, it should be closed! NOT LOCK!

RM1 Burger in Burger King!!

Well, I recently crave for burgers, and the best thing that is happening now is that Burger King is having a promotion. But the terms are not really clear, as it is for both dine in and take away, the only rule is you can only order with every purchase of one (1) carbonated drink. And each customers are only allowed to have 3 Whopper burgers from Burger King.

Well, lets head to Burger King tomorrow and SPARTAAAA our way through.

Just wondering is it possible for 1 drink + 3 Whopper burgers or not. HEhe
