Cause what I’m about to do is a first on this blog hehe…

You know, I have watched many romantic comedies before and the most memorable was the one that brought DGMB together. Just a simple random gathering, who knew that it would turn into something more for us and that we’ll all grow closer to each other and being more than just bloggers whom knew each other.

We became close friends!

Who knows that maybe it could happen to you as well. Somehow, movies have some magic in them that brings people together and thanks to Sony Pictures, it could be magical for you as well because I’m giving away 5 pair of passes to 5 lucky people to watch the premier screening of The Ugly Truth on the 8th of September 2009 at 9.30pm in Cathay Cineplex Damansara.

Simple enough, all you need to do is to leave your name and email address and you’re set to go but only to the first 5 people whom have commented on this entry. Yes 5 pairs are just too little but over the course of the next few weeks, some others will be giving them out as well and see if you can spot their blog addresses somewhere in this post hehe. Oh plus, a little bird told me that the next person giving out passes has the number 1 in his name.

Here’s a little something to get you started eh:

For those whom have been confirmed to recieve the passes, the invitation emails will be sent by 3rd September 2009 so do check your emails by then, mark your calender yo hehe and I’ll definitely see all of you there.

PS:For more trailers, go to the official Sony Pictures Youtube page.

I mean, what would really happen if aliens were to really exist and they came here, to earth?

I guess that’s what Peter Jackson had in mind when he came up with his latest movie, District 9. When I finished watching it, it reminded me of Resident Evil 5. Well you can tell if you’re a gamer and it shared a lot of similarity in terms of the movie’s meaning. Many would watch it and wouldn’t really think that there was somehow a meaning behind it but when you look at it closely, one could really feel disturbed when watching it, but more on that later eh…

Welcome to the life Wikus van de Merwe of where in the movie, he works for a company called MNU or Multi-National United. 20 years ago, aliens somehow landed on earth right in the middle of a city and yeah you guessed it, all hell broke loose with humans trying to take charge of everything, even when they’re not from the same planet. Aliens are segregated to their own camp called District 9 (makes you wonder what happened to the previous 8 hehe) and some humans well, the usual lah. Some are against it, and some hate the aliens and others well, are neutral.Well back to Wikus and as the movie progresses deeply, you get to see a nature that all of us have, that all of us can’t really deny it but if you wanna know more you have to watch it yourself hehe.

You know, without the Blair Witch Project/Cloverfield kind of presentation, it would have been a like a pretty normal movie to me but somehow, it really does add to the atmosphere to it as though you’re really looking at it from a different point of view. Love the camera angles, love the alien technology, love the story! But as much as one would enjoy the movie, you really can’t help but feel a bit weird after watching it but for myself, not as bad as Jen though haha. Well for one, I mentioned it before it really reminded me of Resident Evil 5 where segregation, racism and all things controversial are in it.

Somehow it reminds you of how real the world is, how human you can be when one is faced in a life and death situation. I bet most of you wouldn’t really play hero when its your life that is more precious to you. But do watch it and lemme know how you feel. But before that, here’s some fun facts, or rather, fun clicks hehe:
