Reviu imbas kembali #6: Teater 'Sirah Junjungan'

Wah! Lama tak hapdet blog ni wei, walaupun entri terakhir aku tahun ni jugak! Apa-apalaaaah.

Nah, lagi satu ulasan lama, sempena Ramadhan 1435H yang akan menjelang tak lama lagi (eceh!). Ini juga macam flashback review Buddha Collapsed Out of Shame; ayat-ayat dalam ni gila skema sebab aku tulis ulasan ni untuk kelas sebagai tugasan subjek semester 2 diploma aku One Act Drama / Drama Sebabak. Terimalah.

P/S: Maaflah. Tak ada gambar hari kejadian. Aku ni jenis bangang sikit taknak buat dokumentasi. Heh.

Aku tak jumpa poster untuk versi TEKA / FiTA, jadi aku sauk je gambar promosi versi original teater ni kat Google.
Teater Sirah Junjungan merupakan teater yang julung kali diadakan anjuran Fakulti Teknologi Kreatif dan Artistik (F.A.C.T) dan Pusat Pemikiran dan Kefahaman Islam (CITU), UiTM Kolej Puncak Perdana yang telah diadakan selama seminggu di UiTM Puncak Alam sempena sambutan Maulidur Rasul 1432H. Teater ini telah diarahkan oleh Umi Kalsom Ahmad dan merupakan sebuah adaptasi daripada salah sebuah karya Erma Fatima. Secara amnya, kisah teater ini telah digarap berdasarkan perjalanan hidup nabi junjungan umat Islam, Nabi Muhammad S.A.W.; dari awal kelahirannya semasa Tahun Gajah sehinggalah ke nafas terakhir baginda. Sejujurnya, inilah teater pertama yang pernah saya tonton sepanjang hidup saya. Secara keseluruhannya, untuk teater pertama yang pernah saya tonton, saya amat berpuas hati kerana kesannya yang amat mendalam sekali dan membuatkan hubungan kita dengan Rasulullah S.A.W kian dekat di hati walaupun jauh di mata.

Flashback review #5: 'Buddha Collapsed Out of Shame'

This one is a rather special kind of flashback review, since this is not from my old blog, but instead what I exactly had to do during my Diploma in Creative Technology (Artistic Writing) days; I had to review Hana Makhmalbaf's Buddha Collapsed Out of Shame after viewing it at a local cinema during a special international film screening period as a required for the Genre Studies subject on the third semester in 2010. So please mind the oh-so-very formal tone of this one. Contains spoilers, so be wary. Also slightly edited, grammar-wise.

Flashback review #4: 'Go Go Cha Cha Street'

An edited excerpt of this entry:
Origin: Malaysia
Language: Malay
Artist: Zint
Category: Fiction
Format: Comic / graphic novel
Release: 2008
Publisher: Gempak Starz
This comic is meant for you guys who likes mindless yet meaningful humour.
Nice one, Zint! You made me, my bro, Adam and Zaid felt really dizzy, and now, my throat is sore because I laughed so hard when reading it! XD

It doesn't have a storyline, really. It's just a collection of comics, most of them are about how they handle real life situation... manually. HAHAHA~

Real nice, man! XD

Flashback review #3: 'Jinggo: Eksplorasi'

An edited excerpt of this entry:
Origin: Malaysia
Language: Malay
Artist: Puppeteer
Category: Fiction
Format: Comic / graphic novel
Release: 2008
Publisher: Gempak Starz
Oh yeah, today I finally bought -with my brother's money, so it's techically 'our' first ever graphic novel! It's another masterpiece by one of my fave comic artist in a local magazine called GEMPAK, and his name is Puppeteer. I bought his rendition of previously published Jinggo: Hikayat Si Pemburu (Jinggo: The Hunter's Chronicle) drawn by Kenny (another fave artist of mine in the same magazine), entitled Jinggo: Eksplorasi (Jinggo: Exploration).

Jinggo is originally dead in the original version. So, this would probably revolves around his life before he had colleagues. The original version is balanced in both action and humour content. While Puppeteer's version is more focused on his hilarious attempts in outsmarting the aliens he encountered. LOL. That's really funny! I ain't givin' any spoilers, cause what fun would that be? HAHAHAHA~

Flashback review #2: 'Iridescent'

An entry dated 10.8.2011 on my Tumblelog:


I usually get very excited whenever a new Linkin Park music video comes out, but not when ‘Iridescent’ was released.

Maybe it was because of the overly-abstract imagery used in the video AND too many of Bay’s Transformers element being interspersed? I don’t know.

But the bottom line here is this; this is just TOO bizarre and TOO ‘symbolic’, even for a LINKIN PARK music video. =.=”“

Next time… don’t try too hard, Mr. Hahn. This is a total overload of your imaginative thinking space, dude. Contain your creative burst of ideas properly next time, aight?

Linkin Park forever, dudes!

· Release: December 21, 2007

More info: IMDb 
I, me, ALONE, in the middle of the night, SINGLE HANDEDLY WATCHED Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street!

Hmm, it was rather a very innovative genre; musical thriller. Although I can't understand much of what the actors were saying, but I still understand the plot of the movie nonetheless from the movements of the actors and the camera angles; it always point on the important stuff like... the victims! The throat-slitting scenes were awesome! Mr. Sweeney Todd killed his customers in a very swift and relaxing manner, especially on the scene where he sang that song about Johanna, a girl that Sweeny Todd's sailor friend likes (the sailor was singing with Mr. Todd on the same musical number). But he got very gory on his target; the judge that took care of Johanna. Never knew Johnny Depp could potray a maniacal barber wifh full concentration. In the end, his vengeance was awefully stupid, as he killed his wife that he thought was dead by accident because of Mrs. Lovett's lies (yeap, she's a goner too, gone toast... like literally, baby). He's also a wonderful singer! I think I'm in love with his singing voice, man!
