  1 Desperate Father and 3 Roadtrippers
What actually constitute a road movie? I mean, kenapa bebaru ni, banyak road movies yg dinobatkan dgn berbagai2 pencalonan seperti Oscar dan Golden Globe ? So far, antara road movies yg aku masih ingat:

Harold & Kumar Goes To White Castle
One Indian dude + One Chinese dude = get a burger

Sideways
Harvey Pekar + That guy from Wings = screw some chicks + wine appreciation

From Dusk Till Dawn
Seth & Ritchie Gecko + the Fullers = Mexico (they met some vampires on the way, but that’s a different story)

Natural Born Killers
Psychotic couple (Mickey + Mallory) = whatever they want to do in their twisted mind

See?
Formulanya lebih kurang sama.
Tahun 2006 ni, aku baru tonton 2 road movies…


Transamerica (2005)

Toby, I AM your Father...

Apa yek yg membuatkan aku tertunggu2 filem ni. Oh, ye, Felicity Huffman, si ibu dari Lorong Wisteria yg juga merupakan watak yg paling aku boleh relate dalam siri Desperate Housewives. Dia memegang watak Bree @ Stanley, seorang transeksual yg cuba mendekatkan diri dgn anak lelakinya yg baru ditemui selepas 17 tahun. Pelik, awkward, kelakar, itu yg aku rasa semasa menonton filem ni. Lakonannya benar2 berkesan, dan membuatkan aku hampir percaya yg beliau adalah seorang lelaki dalam perjalanan menjadi seorang wanita sejati. Filem arahan Duncan Tucker ini juga menampilkan Kevin Zegers yg memegang watak Toby, anak kpd Bree, seorang hustler homo.

Aku suka babak : Pertemuan emak Bree @ Stanley dgn cucunya. I guess semua nenek sayangkan cucu camtuh. And yes, penjelasan Toby ttg unsur2 gay dalam filem LOTR. Dan semua babak dgn Toby. (That’s hot, bak kata Paris Hilton)

Aku bagi : *****/*****


Wolf Creek (2005)

There's no running away from Mick, girl...

Mengisahkan 3 sahabat yg membuat perjalanan ke Taman Negara Wolfe Creek di Australian Outback. Secara tetiba jam dorg berhenti bergerak, dan kereta takleh start. Muncul seorg good Samaritan yg dgn rela menolong mereka. Boleh percaya ke ni?

Isy, gigil jugak aku tonton filem nih, walaupun mula2 agak slow. Mmg thrilling, apatah lagi ianya berdasarkan kisah benar. Tapi jgn expect any good fights from the protagonists (mcm Eliza Dushku dlm Wrong Turn atau Jessica Biel dalam TCM), sbb dua drp diorg mmg betul2 mati. Tragically.

Babak tutup muka pakai bantal : “What was it your mate said again? Oh, yeah, that's not a knife - *this* is a knife!” Gila. Dan jejari yg bertaburan…

Aku bagi : ***/*****

Find a new, safer hobby, willya ?

Walaupun aku belum tengok lagi TransAmerica, tapi aku rasa ideanya macam The Adventures of Sebastian Cole. Tapi tu si remaja duduk dgn bapak tiri yang nak jadi "mak tiri". Felicity Huffman for the best actress oscar this year i wish. Selain Road Movie yang kau dah list tu aku nak tambah lagi film lain yg aku dah tgk macam, Thelma & Louise, Priscilla Queen of the Dessert, Kalifornia, Joyride, Central Station dan banyak lagi lah
 
Mensh, Ms Huffman dah tercalon dah utk Golden Globe & SAG, and i hope she wins. Best giler lakonan dia, with that deep voice and everything.

Aku baru beli Central Station, tp lum tgk lagi. Priscilla tak habih tgk lagi, dan masih mencari Kalifornia (Brad Pitt!!) dan T&L (kata org road movie for the chicks yg paling rule!)
 
the best road movie.. True Romance. Walaupun ramai yg kata ianya bukan road movie tapi aku ikut cakap Tarantino. Thelma n Louise memang every chick kena tengok...mostly sebab ada Brad Pitt kot. And the one movie yg aku takleh lupa ialah Ferris Bueller's Day-Off. Sampai skarang aku cari tak jumpa filem ni.. Download pun tak dapat..

..I'm rooting for Felicity Huffman. Walaupun aku still lum tgk Transamerica.. but who doesn't love those girls from Wisteria Lane right...?
 
They're WOMEN, Edd, WOMEN, not girls, unless u considered the babelicious Gabrielle Solis as a girl.

True Romance mmg road movie la, one of the best I'd say. Thelma & Louise, walaupun aku tak tgk lagi, org kata best bukan sbb Brad Pitt, tapi sbb it featured female bonding dan female empowerment yg jarang di sentuh oleh pembikin filem era tuh.

Majalah Empire voted Ferris Bueller's Day Off sbg the best teen flick. Aku pun tak tgk lagi la...
 
That Nazim guy consider Felloship of the Ring as road movie, heck, aku kata Speed is road movie, infact, semua yang ada tunjuk jalan is road movie then...

ohh...apa yang aku cakap ni...
 
Kita pun ada road movie apa... 7 Perhentian anyone? muahahaha..!!

Ferris Bueller the best teen flick? Mmg betul tu. Aku ingat masa aku kecik abang aku sewa video citer tu. Dulu TV3 ada tunjuk spin off sitcom Ferris Bueller starring Jennifer Aniston yang baru belasan tahun..
 
Anonymous dude, are you on drugs or somethin?

Edd, jgn lupa Dari Jemapoh ke Manchestee dan Spinning Gasing. btw, aku tgk kat imdb, Ferris Bueller punya DVD baru kuar la. Maybe you wanna check it out kat Sg Wang.
 
wow, another aussie slasher flick mate! Thx 4 the review zack.. aku akan cari dvd nih..
 
Hey, hey Spiral!! Lama tak drg berita!

Baru malam tadi aku browse ko punya site! Bagus, bagus, kau dah revamp the site dan i'd say u've done a great job,man.
 
gee thanks.. aku reviu pun ikut 'angin' zack hehe. datang angin malas tu yang bersemak balik skrin aku. btw u've done great job too mate.
 
mna, dari satu satu...jealoussssssssss!! hahaha, kalaulah aku tak sesibuk u
 
fadz, mna tu ape?
aku?
tak sibuk?
how ironic.
 
Aku ingat lagi aku argue dengan bebudak opis aku sama ada Speed road movie ke tak. Sampai ke tengah malam. Ha! Ha! (aku setuju Speed adalah road movie)
