Talkin abt local (Malaysian) movie

[davies1985]

Well it had been a very long time i din go to cinema ~ coz of busy on workin and studys
luckily now on holiday and have plenty of time to lepak around
so went to a movie last saturday.
there's many foreign movie now , anacondas , A vs P , Six strong guys , a korean ghost story that i forgotten the title etc
but as a Malaysian ~ i choose to watch Puteri Gunung Ledang
i dont even expect to watch a really GOOD quality local produced movie , but ...... i found out that ~ i'm wrong ~ absolutely wrong
the every scene that appeared infront of my sight ...... really suprised me ~ this is the 2nd time i never sleep in the cinema (1st time, Troy).
The story , the movement , the way the actorNactress talk ~ were acttractin me all night long. It's really worth to watch it again , and again
U guys who never go for it ~ go for it :)

[khim]

Puteri Gunung Ledang... Actually i want to go to watch but i cant find a accompany to go along...
another malaysian Chinese new horror Movie is "Visits" (Si Ren Ye Hua) only show in GSC Mid Valley.

i wouldn't go to cinema watch a horror movie..i too scare...i can't sleep after watching...wat a waste to see a horror movie in cinema...

[davies1985]

Ehh the 'Visit' , i think , this movie wont make u cant sleep , gua ......
i like to watch horror movie at the cinema ~ it's worth then watchin a dvd at home. those surround and sound effect , u can onli feel it in the cinema :)

[E-Ping]

I would really want to watch "Visits", i heard it's scary.Too bad it's only shown in GSC Midvalley..it's really inconvenient for me to go to Midvalley.From the movie reviews i've seen in The Star paper, "Visits" is being graded "B" .That's pretty good for a local movie. :happy:
Have anyone watched Pontianak Sundal Harum Malam?I dont know whether it's a great movie but the film bagged 3 awards in Spain.

[mein]

yup!!..i watched Pontianak Harum Sundal Malam with my ns friends..i guess i was the only chinese in the cinema..watched that in mid valley...my fren was hiding behind my back all the time.. :D ..so, how's Puteri Gunung Ledang?

[hinata]

for me puteri gunung ledang is totally,absolutely,perfectly boooooooringggggg....sorry but i cant find any message in it.and what is it main theme?

[naughtygal]

Are there any Malay movies with English subtitles? I'd like to try different things, but without English subtitles I'd be lost.

[shai^cello]

For that, watch SEPET. It's a movie which they talk malay-chinese-english and have english subtitles and Ng Choo Seong is absolutely cool and Sharifah Amani is so adorable!

[liwei_jay]

whoa..
i'm sad to say that i've never watched any locally produced movie.. :shy:
cuz am currently not in m'sia..
and puteri gunung ledang.. i heard is a good one..
as for VISIT?? i never heard before..
i guess i gotta ask my sis to get it for me.. :oops:
wanna see how scary it is... :whistle:
i'm a mad fan of horror movie..
juz love to watch it at nite.. wit all the lights off...
and preferably alone.. :wink2:

[jessiesoon]

i dun remember i watch any local movies..hehe!! if local series,got la..long long time before got astro..tat time HVD still very very hit but then,suddenly they gone liao..hehe!!

[shai^cello]

Puteri Gunung Ledang won 4 awards in Festival Filem malaysia (M'sia type of oscar) and Sepet won six. (ironic cuz the low budget indie movie defeated the giant 20 million budget one). But both win big considering PGL was shown as one of the favouriteat Cannes and Sepet won lots of award outside Malaysia.

[JennEmma]

I watched Puteri Gunung Ledang and I slept like 1 hour before the movie finished from what my mom told me :whistle: I've forgotten the story line :rolleyes:

Anyhoo, I really want to watch Sepet. I heard it's cool... :dry: Hmm...

Pontianak Harum Sundal Malam is cool too. Now, there is Pontianak Menjerit, I heard it's a comedian one..hmm...will watch it this night if i have times.. :brows:

[liwei_jay]

i do admire M'sian films for their great movies..
i think Puteri Gunung Ledang is the first :thumbsup: movie which
was produced locally..
hmmm.. i guess ppl who do appreciate and understand 'sastera'
does knw how to appreciate this movie.. :whistle:
i am looking forward to watch "sepet" too..
since i dun think it'll still be in cinema by the time i go back..
i'm sure i'll be able to get the VCD/DVD.. ;)

[JennEmma]

Heheh, liwei_jei, sorry heh, I don't take sastera,hehe...

[andantino]

hey, there's a new local movie coming out, the 3rd generation. ;)
starring by Nicholas Teo. i heard it was a not bad film.
some watch the preview. the quality memang bagus.!
i think we should watch it, support Msia's film. ;)

[Yue Anne]

3rd Generation?
erm i saw the preview few hours ago . ^.^

anyway the best local film i ever seen is SEPET ! i mean my first local movie tht i watched in the cinema :sweat: its funny and it reflects well about we malaysians. really cute! lol

[andantino]

sepet was a nice movie. i even both the vcd watch it over and over again.
the ending is confusing me. but now i know!! ;)

puteri gunung ledang was nice too. frankly, the quality is GOOD.

[AbuseYouDNA]

I personally like Sepet and Puteri Gunung Ledang too....
I was wondering how you guys were able to find out Malaysian-made movies?
Sepet and PGL were intially known because of the adverts, promos, etc....

Go go Sepet -.-.....

[andantino]

hahaha they did advertise and promo.
that's why we know? haha.

cant wait to watch 3rd generation. !!!

[Capri_girlz]

3rd generation?? i've never heard about that's movie before...
who's the actor/actres???
i want to know too... tell me a bit about the film..i'm sure it must be best..

ermm...u all have seen this film..??
salon
pontianak harum sundal malam 2
rock
baik punya cilok

if you have seen, what u all think about a few film that have u all
watch???
tell the komen

[Yue Anne]

salon : hmm i met a few fair of SALON's artiste at KL Sentral, they promoted their movie, and at tht point, i was totally clueless about thm, but my friend was like 'quickly grab their poster and signature', and i was like 'uh? :? lol there were many people! and i can tel you tht thier make up is so so heavy! :crazy:

i have seen the pontianak harum sundal malam 1 though, quite ok, maya is quite good. lol

but i still love sepet. :love:

[andantino]

haha actaully there are alot of local movies, mostly in Malay which i dont watch them except for Puteri Gunung Ledang.

I always see trailers of them in cinemas.

[wanie_jay]

hohoho....
the local movie that really interest me was buli by afdlin shauki...
that guy was funny!!!
love him in sitcoms aha! i heard baik punya cilok is a gud one too, looking for ward for that!!!

[Labelle]

I think the only local movie i've watched before is sepet. The movie is quite nice tho, with a mixture of chinese and malay =). I heard the movie has won some sort of international award...

[nicolensm]

Talking about local movies... anyone saw 3rd generation? any comments. it's a very 'artful' kinda movie.

[Zainou]

Baik punya CilOk!!!!

Have you watched? I highly recommend to you this film by the talented Afdlin Shauki. This Singapore-educated director is somehow has his own way to teach lessons to the viewers. I like it very much. Besides, how many times can you see serious actors like Awie acts as a comedian? Believe me, he can make you laugh!

[wanie_jay]

yeah, my best fren said the same thing. she said the film was so funny..definitely a must...:D
be shame on me, i haven't watch it yet....:crazy:

[chickenlitle]

havent c any new movie,lol...frm local,basically...
baik punya cilok,not yet:shy:

[shinjay]

Local movie tat means em...Malay movie? I din even watch a Malay movie before.

[andantino]

shinjay : it doenst have to be malay movie. local movie in sense the movie is localy produced. a movie with local actor and actresses.

like sepet. 3rd generation. puteri gunung ledang and more..

and hey, there's a puteri gunung ledang the musical. is anyone attending for it?

[tayhaithian]

mm Should have to go for soem Pink Panther it was really funny ~!

[andantino]

pink panther is not a local movie. *_*


anywya, anybody watched the new movie, Gubra??
its like the part two of Sepet. not bad. i watched it yesterday!
but was rather confused.

[kamceng]

you watch gubra??
how was it? is it good?
the hero died in sepet. who's the hero in gubra?

[wanie_jay]

OMG. i don't even manage to watch sepet yet, and here's come gubra. but i heard it was a good movie. looking forward for that...

[andantino]

sepet was much better than gubra i have to say.

Ggubra is a rather complicated movie and you need to sit and think properly to understand the movie.

Watch It!!!!

[vunsin]

Does anyone know where I can buy Malay movies online? I'm in the U.S., so that's probably my only option.

[Donny]

heeh~ duno... mayb u can try www.wanita.net ?

i dun really remember the name, but there's a new movie with amber chia in it. there's another actor, the korean "shemale" guy, nonono~ gal. she's in it too.

[vunsin]

Well, I'm a little biased. I'd rather watch Malay movies than Malaysian-made Chinese movies. Simply because I can still access Chinese (Hong Kong and Taiwanese, which are generally higher quality) movies, but not Malay movies. I feel like I'm forgetting my Malay, but my Chinese is still fine. Movies with a multiracial cast would be interesting too.

Thanks for the link. I'll check it out! :happy:

[Donny]

if ur lookin for malay movies, mayb u can try... Gunung Ledang? hahaha!~ anyway, for really nice movie, Sepet is the one. well, i think there's a sequel to it, like as told in previous posts, but i haven watch, so no comment. XD oh, there's a new Sembilu 2 izit? or wad... cant remember the name, a funny malay movie. i think it should be nice.

[vunsin]

Puteri Gunung Ledang and Sepet? Those are actually the two movies that I really want to watch. The Malaysian Student Organization at my university showed those two movies a few months ago. Unfortunately, I had to go out of town during those times. So I'd been wanting to watch those movies for a while.

[Donny]

y not try to find source from them? like a legal copy or sth? gunung ledang... not exactly that bombastic and astounding la... but not bad... the story iznt our good old primary school history though.

[vunsin]

I'm not really close with those people. Don't really know them that well. I just saw the flyers around campus for the movies. I'm not even a member of the organization. :rolleyes:

[Donny]

well, there's no harm to try gettin ur hands of these movies. its worth it la. anyway, if all sorts out to be the worse, u gotta find ur friendly neighbourhood pirates lo... haha~

[vunsin]

I'll just buy them from that website. I found them there. But maybe later, because I'm broke now. The VCDs are not that expensive. They're only less than US$6, which is a pretty reasonable price. I buy Chinese VCDs from YesAsia for about the same price. Shipping isn't too expensive either. I think I'll shop on that website after I get a job!

[wanie_jay]

erm...ever heard of baik punya cilok? i heard that's a very good comedy film...
you should also try buli and buli balik..all were from afdlin shauki...
i had severe stomach cramps when i watched it....

[Donny]

happy tat u succeeded in findin. hehe~ my chinese sux. :P

i think i ever heard of tat director, but i nv heard of those titles le... strange... mayb i didn go n notice. XD

[andantino]

wanie jay : baik punya cilok?
sorry i cant understand BM well.
what does cilok mean? i've never heard of it.

[wanie_jay]

wanie jay : baik punya cilok?
sorry i cant understand BM well.
what does cilok mean? i've never heard of it.

cilok basically means trying to escape=melarikan diri, it also means steal...the movie is basically about three guys including afdlin, hans issac, and ac mizal wanting to get back what they had pawned....

something like that la..:wave: :wave: :wave: :wave:
