Rock tetap Rock!

Art passed us "Rock", a film that came out in late 2005. Like all things that had to travel the distance here, like Berita Harian, Gila-Gila comics and Malay films, it would be basi for me to talk about this but whateverlah... I just watch it what...

M and I had such a laugh watching the film. Wah!! seluar ketat, rambut gondrong, posing rabak and all that high pitch wailing. tak tahan aku. It is not the most fantastic film. Editing could be tighter. It started well but somehow grew wearisome about 3/4 way through. That 3D animation bird which was meant to be amateurish was just too dire for words, the vomiting scene was slapstick and what with all the minahs hanging around at the end?

Nevertheless, we enjoyed it, especially during the second sitting when we can forward the boring bits. Loved the spoof music video Rimba Bara did for BPR "Keunggulan Cinta". How 80s Malay Rock is that? The fake drumming on imaginary drums, the posing next to kapalterbang at some museum, posing by rail tracks. Only thing missing is singing by air terjun. hahahaha.

Loved the death metal band "Malaikat Maut". Wahhh.. garang beb! bila they all masuk je, keluar asap smoke machine. nampak macam garang tapi tak menang je, terus nangis. lepas tu, the main singer sold out and auditioned for Rimba Bara. Dia nyanyi Taman Rashyidah Utama lah. mana lah tak cair? terus no more death metal, pakai seluar merah ketat pulak.

Loved the desperate measures they took - sampai habis PVC kerusi bas they all kebas! brown PVC boleh apa - nampak macam leather

Loved the taglines "Ini untuk Rockers aje. R.O.K.E.R...rockers". "Alah, dia nak datang sini pun kena tukar tiga bas", "Dia ingat kita ni band kerja kahwin ke?", "Band ini memang berpengalaman, dah biasa main kat expo, funfair, keja orang kahwin dan juga menjadi juara...badminton".

Overall, OK lah. can watch and reminisce about the old days. I was singing the songs for days.. altogether now. Keunggulan Cinta, dari sinar mata, yang bergelora.........
