As usual, post-exams are really boring, if you don’t have a lot of activities to do or you’re anti-social. I was seriously bored, as mentioned on my previous post, but luckily with the power of Internet download, I downloaded two movies, DeathRace and Mukhsin. Yeah, one is English and one is Malay.

DeathRace was fun. One hell of a movie. I love story line and the characters really, especially Frankenstein and his hot co-driver. Machine Gun Joe isn’t half bad really. I don’t want to spoil you guys, so I’ll just stop here. Even though the ratings is quite above my age, I don’t mind. Another thing, the ironic thing about DeathRace was how can they go that fast with like a few tons of metal covering them and the amount of weapons. Just that ironic. Still, I totally recommend this movie to you guys. Something different and better ,to be honest, than those flashy car movies.

Mukhsin was something I didn’t expect to watch but after watching one half of the show in school, I wanted to watch the whole thing. I watch movies containing killings, love, documentaries and those directed by the controversial Yasmin Ahmad. People say she’s a transvestite. Anyway, I love her movies. The first which I saw was Sepet, then Gubra and now is Mukhsin. Nice stories really. All are inter-link. So this story is about a girl, Orked which is kind of a tomboy and her family is one unique family. Her mother studied in England and talked English nearly the whole movie. Her father is laid back. If I were to state a scene, I would totally spoil it, so you better just watch it first-hand. Then came this boy, Mukhsin, who was from a very bad family. Then they two met during a game. Then the relationship happen. Anyway not to spoil you, even if this movie is a year-old, I’ll just qoute a poem which she shared to her teacher. It sounds so much better in Malay.

Saat yang aku dengar cerita cinta aku. Aku mula lihat pada kau. Tidak tahu ia begitu membutakan. Kau dan aku tak pernah bertemu. Tapi macam lama kami berkenal.

The minute I hear my first love story. I started looking for you, not knowing how blind that was. Lovers don’t finally meet somewhere, they knew each other all along.
