Seefood and John Carter Movie

Manage to catch up 2 movies in a day today! Both movie that i have been anticipating since last year, Seefood and John Carter.


Come join Pup and Julius, on a fun-filled adventure to a place filled with colorful characters and unending mystery - land! When poacher steal dozens of egg sacks from Pup's reef, he make it his mission to save his brothers and sisters no matter how impossible the task may seem. His determination to make right what is wrong takes him above water, into Man's world - a landscape frought with beauty and danger - an exciting destination the young bamboo shark could never ever have imagined! Afraid for Pup's safety, Julius embarks on his own quest to bring home his best pal. In an outlandish 'fish-suit', you will believe a shark can walk on land in his thrill-a-minute action, laugh out loud comedy, great for the entire family!

What can i say. I am very proud since this is pretty much 2nd local 3D animation production after Upin and Ipin. From the trailer it already look promising (except the very obvious, screw up audio). Before watch the movie everyone already told me it sucks. My point of view? yea is sucks.


Rendering pretty screw up. All the fishes rendering look pretty plasticky, specular map too big to be technical. Animation pretty normal, decent. I mean, we been watching PIXAR and Dreamwork masterpiece every year and compare to them, this is nothing. The animation, movement, character performance pretty plain and no exaggeration like PIXAR and Dreamwork.


Bad animation, bad rendering, ok i still can accept it. The only thing no excuse for me are the storyline and sound. Seefood failed to delivered both of this. Storyline pretty plain, draggy and bored. Sound is pretty sucks, doesnt blend well and give the appropriate mood. The only thing I appreciated from this movie is the character modeling.


Perhaps kids will like it. For us who grow up watching PIXAR and Dreamwork animation hardly accept it. But nevertheless, this is huge leap for Malaysia to continue produce 3D Animation. I believe they need more man power and budget, maybe.

Next movie is John Carter!


JOHN CARTER OF MARS brings this captivating hero to the big screen in a stunning adventure epic set on the wounded planet of Mars, a world inhabited by warrior tribes and exotic desert beings. Based on the first of Edgar Rice Burroughs' "Barsoom Series," the film chronicles the journey of Civil-War veteran John Carter (TAYLOR KITSCH), who finds himself battling a new and mysterious war amidst a host of strange Martian inhabitants, including Tars Tarkas (WILLEM DAFOE) and Dejah Thoris (LYNN COLLINS).

Pretty interesting storyline and concept. Visual art, matte painting, modeling, texture all are perfect and up to disney production quality. Looking on those setting and environment remind me alot star wars and some final fantasy.



However, the movie is pretty draggy in certain part actually. Some are speed up quite fast especially towards the ending. I wish they could explain more about Tharks tribe too especially the baby born thingy. Same goes to the 9th ray which doesnt speak much of it except being a powerful ray that can destroy this and that.


Catch up John Carter at cinema if you love fantasy style movie ;)

What Would My 3D World be with LG Optimus 3D?

3D phone is a hype now! However not much 3D phone is available now and fortunately, LG is one of them! Introducing LG Optimus 3D, a phone that allowed you to capture and view in 3D. No glasses needed, no trick needed, just pull and press the shutter and"KaCHACK!" there you go :D


Not to mention the LG Optimus 3D is 4.3 inches with 3D LCD capacitive touchscreen. It packed with Dual-core TI OMAP 4430 1 GHz Cortex-A9 and PowerVR SGX540. The camera has Dual 5 MP tahtc an record 1080p@30fps (2D) and 720p@30fps (3D). With al the spec above, definitely it is more than enough for smooth daily sailing.


Of course, one of the strong point to consider LG Optimus 3D is none other than the camera. So what would my world be with LG Optimus 3D? Of course, it would be 3D 3D 3D all the way! As you all know, i love my Toufu chai AKA Nokia N900 so much. If you don't know who is him, here the pic of him.


Yupz, he appear in my blog header everytime alongside with Kamen Rider Clevis. Of course, my world will be wonder and awesome with LG Optimus 3D because finally i can convert my Toufu Chai drawing into 3D! I can view him in 3D! Not to mention, other gadget-tachi can appear in 3D too! :D


I did a video to show what will it be if Toufu Chai really come 3D..it definitely spies up my daily life since he is a good buddy of mine :)



That is my world with LG Optimus 3D. What about you?

Pick Me Up Dessert Review @ Kuchai Lama

Hola! There are alot dessert shop recently and the dessert mostly are identical to each other. However if you're looking for something for casual and affordable, Pick Me Up is the shop that you should add into your list.




Being a dessert shop, Pick Me Up used fusion as their shop concept. They served variety of Ice Cream, Froyo, Snack, toast and etc. As I mentioned, their price is pretty affordable and definitely not disappointed.

* Banana Ice Cream Burito RM 5.50/pcs *
* Oreo and Mango Ice Cream Burito RM5.50/pcs *

The Ice Cream Burito definitely something special I ever try. The Ice-Cream and fruit definitely match.

* Tower Shaved Ice RM12.90 *

Tower Shaved Ice is a combination of Blueberry Ice + Mango Ice + Strawberry Ice at the tower plus Nato de Coco, Mango, Pearls, Taro Balls and Vanilla Ice Cream as topping. This is perfect dessert for 3-4 friends eat together ;) You get to taste 3 difference ice taste by shaving it from down to up.


Next, Similar to Tower Shaved Ice but no pricing and name available since it wasn't in menu yet. It contain Ice Soya + Ice Brown Sugar + Ice Cincau at the tower. The Soya definitely taste stronger than the other two and the brown sugar doesn't taste much sweet. Hope they improve it on my next visit ;)

* Chili Chic Quesadilla RM8.50 *

Chili Chic Quesadilla is a perfect snack if you are looking for something not too full to eat. The taste and the sauce was nicely blend.

* Chilli Fries RM8 *
* Cheesy Nachos RM4.50 *
* Cheesy Fries RM5.50 *

Casual snack like Chili Fries, Cheesy Fries and Cheesy Nachos also another snack you shouldn't miss it. The cheese taste good and I love it.

* Froyo RM6.50 *
* Soft Ice Cream RM5.50 *

The Froyo-Ice-Pick series not disappointing either. You get to choose between Froyo or Soft Ice-Cream with extra any 3 topping. Freedom to pick which ever topping you want to suite your taste ;)

* Blueberry Froyo *
* Strawberry Fruit Ice Cream *

Fruity Ice-Pick is almost same like Froyo-Ice-Pick series but with bigger size and flavour based on fruits selection. Same with Froyo-Ice-Pick, it allow you to pick up any 3 topping.

* Palm Sugar Ice RM6.50 *
* Soya Milk Ice RM6.50 *

There are taiwanese dessert pick series too for those who love taiwan dessert. More or less same like snowflake except, they really put alot topping inside. Worth the money you pay.

* Nutella French Toast with Peanut RM5.50 + Rm1 Ice Cream topping *
* Nutella French Toast with Blueberry RM5.50 + Rm1 ice Cream topping *
* Nutella French Toast with Strawberry RM5.50 *

Among all dessert and snack, my favourite would be the Nutella French Toast. Everyone love Nutella don't they? it came with dif type of combination and with only extra RM1, you can top an Ice Cream on it. The taste definitely better than some other coffee shop that served french toast.

Pick Me Up is located at Kuchai Lama, opposite Station One cafe or Snowflake. It is a wrothy place to hang out and chill around with friends. Plus, great ambience light and environment.
