Cast :




Before Puss met with Shrek and Donkey in Shrek 2, he was start his adventure when he arrives on a town while escaping a bounty hunter. There he learns  that the outlaw couple Jack (Billy Bob Thornton) and Jill (Amy Sedaris) have the magic beans he's been looking for most of his life, beans that can lead him to a giant's castle holding valuable golden goose eggs. When he tries to steal them from the outlaws' room, a masked cat (Salma Hayek) interrupts. Both fail and escape, and Puss follows the cat back to Cat Cantina, a club, where they have a dance-off and a sword fight, ending when Puss hits the masked cat in the head with a guitar. He learns that the masked cat was Kitty Softpaws. She is allied with Humpty Alexander Dumpty (Zach Galifianakis), a talking egg and Puss' long-estranged childhood friend from the orphanage where he was raised. Humpty was happy to see Puss again, but not with Puss. He doens't like humpty anymore because of it's betrayal on Puss Past that make Puss can't go home anymore to his hometown. But Humpty said that he need Puss to be a friend again, because he still remember about a promise that they ever made to found the magic beans together as a Best Friend. But Puss totally refused. 


When Puss went off the Cat Cantina, Kitty run after him and she persuades him to think about Humpty's plan. Puss tells Kitty of his feelings of betrayal for a youthful misadventure when Humpty tricked Puss into helping commit a crime. It turned out that Kitty was sleeping through the story. Humpty attempts to convince Puss to join them in finding the beans and retrieving the golden eggs, which he does. And for some good reasons from Humpty and the way he talked with a lot of trust that he won't do the same fault again to his friend, Puss joined the team to steal the magic beans with humpty and Kitty.



The trio steals the beans from Jack and Jill and elude the angry outlaws in a canyon chase. As Humpty leads his compatriots to the spot where they must plant the beans, Puss and Kitty's relationship begins to grow from rivalry into friendship. The trio ride the fast-growing beanstalk into the clouds where, Humpty explains, they'll find castle of the late giant. Now, he continues, a fearsome monster called the Terror guards the Golden Goose. When they realize the golden eggs are too heavy to carry, they steal the Goose — which is just a gosling — and escape the castle and the Terror. While celebrating their victory, the group is ambushed by Jack and Jill, who knock Puss unconscious.
When Puss wakes up, he tracks Jack and Jill back to his old hometown, where he learns that the entire heist was a plot by Humpty to lure him home to be captured, as revenge for abandoning him to the authorities when Humpty's youthful heist went bad. Jack, Jill, and even Kitty were involved in the con. After pleas from his adoptive mother, the head of the orphanage, Puss turns himself in to the guards while Humpty donates many golden eggs to the town and becomes a hero. 
Will puss get out from the prison? Will he return his good name again? and how about kitty? Does she really abandon Puss just like that ? And what do you think about the end the story? Will humpty get the revenge from puss? I told you this movie have it's unpredictable ending. And I Reccomend you a lot to watch this movie soon! You'll learn how to look good because look good is never looked good.

Lionel Richie - I Call It Love.MP3
Powered by mp3skull.com

"I Call It Love" is the lead single released by American singer Lionel Richie from his studio album Coming Home (2006). It reached #1 on the urban adult contemporary chart; his last successful single to date. 

This single take me to realized what is the trully meaning of love in three minutes that he gave to my ears. His soft voice really combined perfectly, for the first time I heard it, I tought it was a kind of Jazz Music but it wasn't. Quite cool enough. 

The way he brought the song war quitely impressing, he good at inspirited with it. I like to listen to this single on the evening with some hot chocolate, or maybe when the day was raining and I turn on my media player to play this single and bring me to the sweetest nap.

Also, this single was a good way to tell all of the people to not be doubtful with their feelings when they do really want to show their careness, their love. Learn not to hear anyone just listen to your heart because that is what you really need to get your love. Most of people prefer to choose their dignity than their honest heart, they only want to be looked good on his/her friends eyes. For me that's silly and very useless thing that we should do. Why you should listen to them? Their words won't give you any good things that gonna make your feeling better, will they? you'll feel bridled with the things that IS NOT YOU.Throw away those dignity, just do what you want to do. Be brave. Because that is the way of a true love. 

It's so clear for you to see(don't let anybody tell you what to do)Why they can't they just let us be happy(I don't want to find somebody new)If you know whats really in your heartThen don't let them tear us apart(Cause you feel it I feel it Lets think this through)

A true love is when you dare to be yourself and do what you want to do in front of a lot of people. Love doesn't need dignity, love doesn't need famous, love only need an originality and trust. 

Baby, I Don't Know What Love IsMaybe I'm A FoolI Just Know What I'm FeelingAnd It's All Because Of YouDon't Tell MeI Don't KnowI Want The TruthCause They Call ItWe Call ItYou Call ItI Call It Love

Well, it looked like I gave some words that trully what I want to say from my inner heart haha. Another lesson to understand and to applied again ;)

hope you have your shiny days with your lovers!

Just Be the Best of You!

Love

They Call It Love

I Call it

Movie Review - Resident Evil : Afterlife

Okay, another task to do. The 3rd Movie Review~



MOVIE REVIEW

Tittle : Resident Evil : Afterlife
Genre : Horror Action
Written by   : Paul W.S Anderson
film and Directed by  : Paul W.S Anderson
Produced by : Paul W.S Anderson, Jeremy Bolt, Don Carmody, Bernd Eichinger, etc.
Starring

Resident Evil: Afterlife kicks off right where Extinction left off; Alice (Jovovich) has gotten acquainted with her clones and now she’s making due on her promise to destroy the Umbrella Corporation, the company responsible for the creation of the T-virus, the substance that causes the infection. After devastating Umbrella’s underground Tokyo facility, the real Alice attempts to reunite with her friends from Extinction, Claire (Ali Larter) and K-Mart (Spencer Locke). The problem is, upon arriving at the supposed safe haven, Arcadia, Alaska, Alice finds only a field full of abandoned planes, a barren beach and a rather maniacal and memory-less Claire. Claire somewhat comes to her senses while she and Alice fly aimlessly looking for, well, anything.

While soaring over Los Angeles, they catch a glimpse of a group of people calling for help on the roof of a prison. After a risky landing, the duo receives a briefing and ultimately learns that Arcadia isn’t a place; it’s a boat. In fact, they can see the boat in the distance. The trouble is, they’ve got no way of reaching it for the prison gates are swarming with undead.

Afterlife’s multiple Jovovich opening is quite impressive. Half the fun of these films is seeing Jovovich pull off impossible stunts while annihilating hordes of zombies. Multiply that by about a dozen Alices and you get a fantastically deadly sequence. The sad thing is that once the Umbrella raid comes to a close, Afterlife turns into a completely different movie.

You’re instantly detached from everything that happened in the opening once Alice arrives in Alaska and, minus a minor scuffle with Claire, the film is basically devoid of action for quite a while as well. In fact, up until this point, save for a brief introductory show-and-tell during which a woman indulges in human flesh, we’ve yet to see a zombie. Things start to look up as we find ourselves in a new situation involving a group of survivors who’ll ultimately be killed off one-by-one. If only those characters weren’t so generic, perhaps that initial excitement would have had a lingering effect, but no.

In addition to Claire and Alice, we’re trapped in the prison with a cliché stuck-up film producer (Kim Coates), his loyal intern (Norman Yeung), a buff basketball star (Boris Kodjoe), a wannabe actress who, you probably guessed it, wound up waiting tables (Kacey Barnfield), an expendable character who’s quite obviously the first to go (Fulvio Cecere) and an incarcerated Wentworth Miller. This is easily the worst portion of the film not only because there’s zero fighting, but because the characters are so weak and some of the performances are downright laughable. Much of the time in the prison is spent chatting and when you’re submerged in conversations involving uninteresting characters, odds are, what they’re discussing is just as mundane. Miller makes for a fine action hero, but when the guy attempts to display emotion, whether it be that of a potentially dangerous killer or a loving brother just reunited with his sister, he either takes it way too far or falls flat entirely. Even worse is Shawn Roberts’ comically over-the-top portrayal of Umbrella’s #1, Albert Wesker.

While these moments are enthralling and impressively choreographed, they’re still not enough to offset the irrational plot. Everything is just so poorly developed. Afterlife feels as though it’s three different movies mashed into one.
