It's all about my travel experience and things I love to do…
BLOOD: The Last Vampire + Drama + Rant
I was at Nuffnang’s Party & Premiere Screening of BLOOD: The Last Vampire.
I went there late as there was a big big “drama” before that. Friend called for emergency as he has won something. He needs me to be there because him, being the staff there can’t claim the prize. The prize comes in four digits and it’s in cold hard cash. So, I’m just the dummy. I don’t get a cut so, don’t ask. Well actually, I haven’t even ask about my cut.
He needs the money badly lah, so consider him luck then.
I was running late. I made it to Cineleisure in 15 minutes from KL. To make things more dramatic, my petrol light was blinking and it has been blinking since evening when I came back from Palace of the Golden Horses. I drove in “high speed” from Jalan Sultan Ismail to Cineleisure to make sure I make it in time. Lagi worst, my guest was there already! Anyways, all is cool. I made my “grand” entrance into the cinema and found myself a seat in third row from the screen. Sadness.
Back to this movie…

I think, the movie is good. Not too bad. Reason why is because I didn’t anticipate much on the outcome but rather anticipated a rather ok or good movie. I did not read the or watch the anime version of it so I rather not comment further. But basically, I like the fighting scenes lah. I actually do like it until I see a lot of censorship. Which, pretty much killed the whole anticipating of watching a good movie. So yeah…
In my own personal point of view. When you rate 18SG. You freaking NOT CENSOR it. Why? you stupid censorship board is undermining our age is it? Why even rate 18SG when you can’t think logically that those who are watching this movie is going to be a mature crowd.
The whole gist of this movie and why people watch it is because of the sword fighting scene. People like me watch this because of the “body chopping” scene! When you censor it, it is more or less like cheating our money and I feel that we as cinema goers should ask for refund then. Because, what I am paying is for a full movie, but you people in the “you know where you are” have to come up with some rather nonsensical ruling of censoring certain parts of the movie.
Pardon me, but HOW STEWPID lah!
I wouldn’t blame Columbia Pictures or the director and what not lah because my sentiment is not towards this movie BLOOD: The Last Vampire, but other movies as well lah. I feel the makers for this movie has done a great job.
That is why when these kinda censorship happens, we go all out to buy pirated DVDs to watch. Myself, I rather just wait another month and download it off Torrent rather than contributing to Malaysian economy which doesn’t even justify the purpose and final outcome.
Oh wells, you can watch the trailer here embedded from YouTube.
Okay… enough of ranting… Go watch this movie while you can, wherever it might me.

they cut it so bad and if you were in cinema 7 you could hear a girl in the 5th row going AWWW MAN WTF.
i was rather miffed at the technical aspects of the movie rather than the story. the original story also is really catered to western audiences with very little depth into the story and i guess the producer and director of this movie kept that aspect in the live action movie.
i wrote a review and summed it up as “crouching tiger hidden dragon with vampires, katanas, flying toyols and CG overdose”.
o hai bounced here from innit.
