11 Mac 2010 Tweedledee Tweedledum pada 1933

hehehehhe....

11 Mac 2010 Cik Alice pada 1903

Kisah Cik Alice yang telah telah difilemkan buat kali pertama pada tahun 1903.
Filem berikut telah direstorasi oleh British Film Institute National Archive. Hanya beberapa adegan sahaja yang dapat diselamatkan. Kerana beberapa adegan telah rosak.

The first-ever film version of Lewis Carroll's tale has recently been restored by the BFI National Archive from severely damaged materials. Made just 37 years after Lewis Carroll wrote his novel and eight years after the birth of cinema, the adaptation was directed by Cecil Hepworth and Percy Stow, and was based on Sir John Tenniel's original illustrations. In an act that was to echo more than 100 years later, Hepworth cast his wife as the Red Queen, and he himself appears as the Frog Footman. Even the Cheshire cat is played by a family pet.


With a running time of just 12 minutes (8 of which survive), Alice in Wonderland was the longest film produced in England at that time. Film archivists have been able to restore the film's original colours for the first time in over 100 years.

Music: 'Jill in the Box', composed and performed by Wendy Hiscocks.

11 Mac 2010 Makan malam & Gedung Buku

Aku dan Adik makan malam bersama. Alhamdulillah rezeki kami hari itu. Seperti biasa kami akan berkongsi membayar. Atau adakalanya aku yang belanja atau Adik yang belanja... Kami memilih untuk makan malam di Madam Kwan. Heheh pertama kali makan di sana. :P

Hidangannya ialah :
  • Brokoli dan cendawan masak sos tiram (cendawannya besar sekali!)
  • Sotong masak asam (sambal tumis-asam...) - mmmm enak sekali!
  • Ayam masak masam manis - ayamnya rangup, garing. Sedap juga
  • Minumanku :Teh Cina Panas
  • Minuman Adik : Teh Lemon Ais
Mmmm hidangan ini amat sesuai untuk 3 orang makan. Kalau ada Bonda lagi meriah kami bercerita-ceriti. Kalau ikutkan suasana hingar-bingar di dalam restoran pun dah cukup 'meriah'. Hingga adakalanya aku terpaksa meminta adik mengulang apa yang diperkatakannya... ;)

Sebelum ke panggung, aku singgah ke gedung buku, Kinokuniya. Adik pula turun sebentar ke lantai bawah. Selama 20 minit itu, aku tersosok di suatu sudut -cuma sempat menjengah 3 meja yang menghampar buku-buku. Ada beberapa buah buku yang menarik perhatianku...1 buah buku 'sticker' yang menarik. 4 buah buku oleh artis grafik/pelukis yang berbeza -geram rasa macam nak beli je 2 diantaranya, memang menarik minat -tapi dah lupa judulnya :P... Hehhehe nanti-nanti tunggu gaji ya Cik Melor.

Satu lagi meja dipenuhi dengan buku-buku cerita Cik Alice... ;) Alice in the Wonderland. Yalah sekarangkan sedang panas cerita tu... Beberapa hari yang lalu juga aku pun beli AITW di MPH Alpha Angle. Apa yang membuatkan aku tertarik untuk membelinya ialah kerana lakaran yang dilukis untuk buku itu. 

Satu lagi buku yang menarik perhatian ku ialah buku fiksyen tentang Leo Tolstoy. Sangat menarik untuk dibaca! Ia juga sudah dibuat filem, tidak tahu filem itu akan ditayangkan di panggung Malaysia. Mmmm... judulnya ialah The Last Station - wajib beli ni.... Dikarang oleh Jay Parini...

Berikut adalah petikan rencana oleh Jay Parini sendiri di dalam Times Online : http://entertainment.timesonline.co.uk/tol/arts_and_entertainment/film/article6995230.ece

I took note of the fact that, as Bulgakov mentioned, everyone in the extended Tolstoy household was keeping diaries. It was a passion, a habit. The Tolstoy family used their diaries as a kind of Facebook, leaving them open on the table for all to read. Tolstoy himself kept three diaries, one utterly private, the others less so. Sofya’s diaries were voluminous and detailed. Chertkov was more tight-lipped. Tolstoy’s children and friends also wrote down everything that happened. 

I ordered the diaries from various bookstores in London, and they arrived in instalments. It was obvious from the outset that I could make a novel from these journals — a kind of “found” novel. Of course I changed things, added dialogue, created scenes. I added a love interest for young Bulgakov, giving him a lovely young girl called Masha, who became his lover — at least in my novel. My feeling was that the devastating tale of the disintegration of the marriage of Leo and Soyfa Tolstoy needed a counterpoint, a coming together. I feel sure I was right in this — the opposing tale in the film seems just right, especially as played by James McAvoy and Kerry Condon, who has all the sexiness I could ever have hoped for. 

The novel didn’t exactly write itself. I had endless fits and starts, and it wasn’t until late in 1989 that I had a draft I could publish. It became a novel in six voices, a kind of fugue, with scenes played and replayed. I liked very much the idea that truth is not some objective thing — as a single narrator in the third person would suggest — but a laying of subjective viewpoints. One thing I did not do was write in the voice of Tolstoy: I let him speak for himself, in various brief passages from his published work.
The Last Station arrived in bookstores in the summer of 1990. I don’t think it had been in print for more than a few weeks when the phone rang in my Vermont farmhouse one night: it was Anthony Quinn, the old actor who had played Zorba the Greek. I had always liked him very much as an actor, and it was fun to chat. “I want to play Tolstoy,” he said, in his full-throated way. “I want to write the script, with you.” 

Oopsss kisah lain pula yang aku kongsikan ya....  ;) heheehh.... bersambung....

Trouble is a friend -Lenka



Trouble Is A Friend lyrics

Songwriters: Kripac, Lenka; Salter, Thomas;

Trouble he will find you no matter where you go, oh oh
No matter if you're fast, no matter if you're slow, oh oh
The eye of the storm or the cry in the mourn, oh oh
You're fine for a while but you start to lose control

He's there in the dark, he's there in my heart
He waits in the wings, he's gotta play a part
Trouble is a friend, yeah trouble is a friend of mine, oh oh!
Trouble is a friend but trouble is a foe, oh oh

And no matter what I feed him he always seems to grow, oh oh
He sees what I see and he knows what I know, oh oh
So don't forget as you ease on down the road

He's there in the dark, he's there in my heart
He waits in the wings, he's gotta play a part
Trouble is a friend, yeah trouble is a friend of mine, oh oh

So don't be alarmed if he takes you by the arm
I won't let him win, but I'm a sucker for his charm
Trouble is a friend, yeah trouble is a friend of mine, oh oh!

Oh how I hate the way he makes me feel
And how I try to make him leave, I try
Oh oh, I try!

He's there in the dark, he's there in my heart
He waits in the wings, he's gotta play a part
Trouble is a friend, yeah trouble is a friend of mine, oh oh

So don't be alarmed if he takes you by the arm
I won't let him win, but I'm a sucker for his charm
Trouble is a friend, yeah trouble is a friend of mine, oh oh!
Ooo, oh ooo, ooo ahh

Sowii kengkawan, sekarang ni 'mood' untuk mendengar lagu-lagu Lenka pula... ;)

Don't Let Me Fall -Lenka



Underneath the moon

Underneath the stars
Here's a little heart
For you

Up above the world
Up above it all
Here's a hand to hold on to



But if i should break
If i should fall away
What am i to do
I need someone to take
A little of the weight
Or I'll fall through

You're just the one that I've been waiting for
I'll give you all that I have to give and more
But don't let me fall

Take a little time
Walk a little line
Got the balance right aha
Give a little love
Gimme just enough
So that i can hang on tight

We will be alright
I'll be by your side
I won't let you down
But i gotta know
No matter how things go
That you will be around

You're just the one that i've been waiting for
I'll give you all that i have to give and more
But don't let me fall
Don't let me fall

Underneath the moon
Underneath the stars
Here's a little heart
For you

Up above the world
Up above it all
Here's a hand to hold on to

You're just the one that I've been waiting for
I'll give you all that I have to give and more
But don't let me fall

You'll be the one that I'll love forever more
I'll be here holding you high above it all
But don't let me fall

The Show - Lenka





I'm just a little bit caught in the middle

Life is a maze and love is a riddle
I don't know where to go I can't do it alone I've tried
And I don't know why

Slow it down
Make it stop
Or else my heart is going to pop
'Cause it's too much
Yeah, it's a lot
To be something I'm not

I'm a fool
Out of love
'Cause I just can't get enough

I'm just a little bit caught in the middle
Life is a maze and love is a riddle
I don't know where to go I can't do it alone I've tried
And I don't know why

I'm just a little girl lost in the moment
I'm so scared but I don't show it
I can't figure it out
It's bringing me down I know
I've got to let it go
And just enjoy the show

The sun is hot
In the sky
Just like a giant spotlight
The people follow the sign
And synchronize in time
It's a joke
Nobody knows
They've got a ticket to that show
Yeah

I'm just a little bit caught in the middle
Life is a maze and love is a riddle
I dont know where to go I can't do it alone I've tried
And I don't know why

I'm just a little girl lost in the moment
I'm so scared but I don't show it
I can't figure it out
It's bringing me down I know
I've got to let it go
And just enjoy the show

Just enjoy the show
I'm just a little bit caught in the middle
Life is a maze and love is a riddle
I dont know where to go I can't do it alone I've tried
And I don't know why

I'm just a little girl lost in the moment
I'm so scared but I don't show it
I can't figure it out
It's bringing me down I know
I've got to let it go
And just enjoy the show

dum de dum
dudum de dum
Just enjoy the show
dum de dum
dudum de dum
Just enjoy the show

I want my money back
I want my money back
I want my money back
Just enjoy the show

I want my money back
I want my money back
I want my money back
Just enjoy the show
