Shrek The Musical Review

Thanks to Yvents! , the organizing company of Shrek The Musical in Malaysia. I have got a pair of tickets to attend the musical show with my partner, Josephine. We have enjoyed the show and here's the review for it:

Performance: 

The singing and dancing were great. However, don't expect hip hop dancing or break dance like those in "Showdown" competition. The dancing were classical stage dance, tap dance and etc which mainly just to fit the singing of the show. The main focus would be the singing instead of the dance.  

The flow of the show is fast-paced and has done a successful job to link between each scenes. The character switching for each scene was smoothly done. For example, there are scenes whereby Princess Fiona switched between her older and younger self  & also switched into her Ogre form. The performers were able to make the switch in the nick of time.

Other than singing and dancing, other notable performance highlights include the puppeteer performance. Imagine, seeing Ginger breadman's talking with his lips moving. And also the manning of a giant creature! This Giant Creature is in my opinion the biggest limelight of the show!
(What is this giant creature? Well,if you have watched Shrek before, you will know. It's the creature whereby the knights are supposed to slain if they want to save the princess. )

The casting of fairy tale characters were great. The kids love them.

Overall,the musical show has successfully brought the story of 1st Shrek Movie onto the stage. It's entertaining and can bring a lot of joy especially for the family with kids or for people in a gang who love musical adaptation of films.

Costume: 

The Costumes were great as they were almost identical with the costumes shown in the movie. The dancers outfits were perfectly fitting for the scenes as well.

Props and Settings: 

This was the best part of the show. The backdrop were well made as they were able to bring the 3D effects to the audience. The switching of backdrops were fast between each scenes. 

The lighting has been well-coordinated too. There's a part whereby lighting play a major role in it. The lighting will make the house appear to be transparent so that we can see what happened between the conversation of Donkey and Princess Fiona.

The props were awesome, especially the Giant Creature I mentioned above! Seldom we would see such a creature at that large size to be presented on stage. And its eye could blinked as well. It was very cool! 

Verdict:

It was a pleasant Musical Show which is definitely suitable for family and for musical lovers! 

Nice performance!

Pictures

I did not manage to take photos during the show as photo taking is strictly prohibited. But here's some picture taken from the Youtube trailer video: 

This show will be running from Tuesday (19th June 2012) till Sunday (24th June 2012) at KLCC Plenary Hall.

Movie Review: Abraham Lincoln Vampire Hunter

Movie Review: Abraham Lincoln Vampire Hunter 

I got a pair of invitation to the exclusive premiere of Abraham Lincoln Vampire Hunter just now. So now I would like to share the review of the movie with you guys.

Anyway, just in case you guys have not heard about this movie before. This movie is based on the popular novel of the same title by Seth Grahame-Smith. The whole plot of the story is basically revolving around the famous 16th President of the United States, Abraham Lincoln. But it involves a fantasy-like fictional story line. So, what you will see in this movie may not be appropriately true with the history of United States.  

The story began with young Abraham Lincoln and his parents working as slaves for a guy called Jack Barts. Due to a conflict between Lincoln and Jack Barts, Abraham's mother was killed by Jack Barts via a strange method. Jack Barts was later revealed to be a vampire. In an incident, Abraham was trying to kill this vampire to take revenge for his mother's death. However, his plan was backfired and he was nearly killed by the vampire. A mysterious guy appeared and saved his life.  In order to gain enough strength and abilities, Abraham Lincoln requested for a training under that mysterious guy whose name is Henry. Henry trained Abraham enough for him to become a vampire hunter. Later, Abraham was assigned by Henry to kill a few vampires before he can take his revenge on the vampire who has killed his mother. The story then progresses with non-stop axe-wielding action and a lot of blood. I mean..REALLY a lot of blood.  The movie then also showed how Abraham Lincoln eventually became the President. 

I won't tell more about the story because I don't want to spoil the fun. However, what I can comment is that the movie is really action-packed and its visual is cool & stylish. It has reminded me of "Wanted" the movie. 

What I like about the movie?

1) There's a lot of actions, almost non-stop from when he started to hunt vampires till the end of the movie.

2) Cool stylish scenes with a lot of slow-motion effects.

3) Fast paced movie.

4) Nice make-up in Abraham Lincoln's appearance, especially the part when he has already become the President. He looks almost identical to the real Abraham Lincoln!

What I dislike about the movie?
1) Some scenes are seem to be disjointed and do not link well. Plus, some of the scenes may look a bit silly.

2) Lacking of strong plots. 

Additional point:

May not be suitable for minors due to excessive amount of blood spilling scenes.

Verdict:

My partner reviewer Josephine Yap said,

" It's a marvellous action thrilling movie!" 

giving a score of 7/10.

My opinion,

"It's definitely one of the most action packed movie this year! If you love "Wanted" the movie style of visual effects, you will love this movie!"
I give a score of 8/10 because I am an action movie fans.

Ratings:

So overall from us, review score is:

 

                              7.5/ 10.0 stars

Twins Concert 2012 Coverage + Review

Million thanks to Nuffnang for providing me with a pair of invitations to attend Twins Concert. However, due to unforeseen circumstance, I could not attend the concert as I have no transport to come back KL after the concert. Plus, the hotels are fully-booked or is a bit too pricey. So,I decided to give my tickets to one of my friend who is a Twins fans for quite some time.

Here’s some of the photos taken by my friend followed by his review on the concert:

Review by my friend:

Performance: Twins concert was like a performance which has compressed their 12 years journey in music industry into a 2-hours show. Although they have performed a few shows in other countries around the world, it’s quite obvious that Gillian's tempo in dancing was a bit off-beat. On the other hand, we can also see that Charlene has grown a lot on stage. There’s a lot of time whereby Charlene has helped to support and back up Gillian on the stage. Overall, their performance in singing and dancing were still able to satisfy the fans and kept them excited.  Their sincerity and determination in delivering the best performance for the fans can be felt by the fans themselves.

In addition, their Band group was very professional. During the second Encore, they were able to play the whole song of any songs that are being suggested by the fans immediately during that time.

Costume: Their costumes this year and their costumes during 2010 concert were quite similar. However, both were also as attractive and gorgeous.

Verdict: It was a very nice performance. Well done!

That’s all from my friend’s review.

Thanks to Twins for bringing the excitement for the fans who have been supporting you guys for so long!

Not to forget, thanks to Celcom for bringing them here!

From me, thanks to Nuffnang for providing the invitation! Really appreciated it!
