Hairspray the Movie 2007



Well well!!
I have to admit that this is a great movie.
I'm always is a fan of musical screen play especially on the musical type movie like Chicago, Dream girls, Phantom of the Opera and etc.

Hmmm~~
At first, I don't even know what actually the title of this movie is referring to. I just presume that is some sorts of movie that still ok and can consider have a watch since I had out of movie to be choose and I had nothing to do at all. Furthermore, I purchased the tickets with my fellow friend at the last minute before the show is start. In my mind, I felt I will finish it as well if the movie is bored to die and the only thing I could do is critics it until it's doesn't worth to had a watch. But after I review the poster on the wall after I purchased the ticket, I spot some of the familiar face among the casts such as Queen Latifah, Zac Efron and John Travolta. Well, It doesn’t that bad to have them in the cast, but I can’t see John’s face at the poster but his name.

When the show start, It a background of 60’s, and this little girl name Tracy Turnblad is singing throughout the opening. I was started to think that “OMG! It’s a musical type movie!” and I totally attract to the movie instantly. The wardrobe, hairstyle and the background are stunning, and the song and the cast is totally rule my sensitivity. Honestly, I really enjoy the show very much! (Wondering whether is I feel I had paid the ten buck to a worth)

So I had get the list of the song that sang by the cast in the movie as followed and probably will look for the OST:

Good Morning Baltimore
The Nicest Kids in Town
It Takes Two
The Legend of Miss Baltimore Crabs
I Can Hear the Bells
Ladies' Choice
The New Girl in Town
Welcome to the 60's
Run and Tell That
Big, Blonde and Beautiful
Big, Blonde and Beautiful (Reprise)
You're Timeless to Me
I Know Where I've Been
I Can Wait Without Love
It's Hairspray You
Can't Stop the Beat

And guess who you could recognize in the show, I hardly saw John Travolta and it’s impress me that he actually doing something that challenging in his career after I found him. I must admit that he is great. You would able to know what I mean after you have watch the show and here the starring cast.



Starring cast
·Nikki Blonsky as Tracy Edna Turnblad
·John Travolta as Edna Turnblad
·Michelle Pfeiffer as Velma von Tussle
·Christopher Walken as Wilbur Turnblad
·Amanda Bynes as Penny Lou Pingleton
·James Marsden as Cornelius "Corny" Collins
·Queen Latifah as "Motormouth" Maybelle Stubbs
·Brittany Snow as Amber Velma von Tussle
·Zac Efron as Link Matthew Larkin
·Elijah Kelley as Seaweed Joseph Stubbs
·Allison Janney as Prudence "Prudy" Pingleton
·Jerry Stiller as Mr. Pinky
·Paul Dooley as Mr. Harriman F. Spritzer
·Taylor Parks as Little Inez Stubbs

Well, the plot in the movie actually is not that hard to understand, even thou I doesn’t know what the meaning brought at first, but after you go through it and you will know what’s the message brought by this movie.

So don’t wait, go to have a watch when it’s still in cinemas nearby you. I gave it 4½ out of 5.

私訪話 - 陳威全摸索沖刺

『大家好,我叫陳威全,我喜歡一個人逛街、拍照,我是獨行俠。』這是陳威全在台灣上課時的自我介紹,語畢,他還念了一段自己寫的詩。他的同學真好,因為大家都沒有發笑,只覺得這位大馬來的歌手有點怪,至少,當大家都在介紹自己的體重身高之際,這樣的開場確實叫人印象深刻。

在台灣打個轉回來,盡管無法用脫胎換骨來形容
陳威全,但至少少了剛出道時幾分青澀,多了一絲絲的穩重,不然,你以為他在台灣的9個月是白過的?




學會講話

再怎么說,
陳威全在大馬也上過不少電台節目,但沒想到在台灣上了第1次電台通告后,其余的通告都被取消,還被工作人員罵了一頓。

原來,當他們在做訪問時,主持人突然說:“聽說《想飛》拍得很爛,寫真集的照片好像都沒有經過修飾,在網上被人家罵得要死!”

“我和藍茵當下立刻傻眼,接不上話。還好他沒有問我有什么意見,因為我真的不懂要給他什么反應。對我來說主要的還是宣傳原聲帶,那些問題應該拋給劇組,而且他的問題也太尖銳了,大馬的DJ就不會這樣問。”

因為無法很自然地表達自己,工作人員禁不住嘮叨:“為什么不好好表現自己?你們在背稿嗎?”接下來的情況大家可以自行想像,說話表達自己竟然成了他的壓力。
換作今日的
陳威全,他又會怎么應對?“哦,是嗎?可能是我沒有參與的關係吧!哈哈!開玩笑的啦!我倒覺得配樂有點怪怪,以后不妨考慮讓大馬創作人來做配樂。”
自喻不會說話的他這次漂亮地轉了一圈,雖然這一轉遲了一點,但這何嘗不是一個好的開始?再尖銳的問題隨時都會出現。

發揮本身特質

陳威全在台灣有半年時間是被寫部落格和挫折感占據的,所有意見都被公司推翻,被安排的工作並不如他預期的多,讓他一度懷疑唱片公司干嘛要把他叫到台灣去?台灣等發片的新人已經夠多了!

“朋友們都會問我什么時候發片?我不懂得怎么回答,因為我在台灣真的沒有在做什么。我一直在摸索,到底
陳威全是什么?我的音樂可以去到什么程度?一直到后來才發現這一切都是潛移默化。”

那究竟有何改變?“知道自己哪一個音域最好聽,什么東西可以吸引別人,以前老是說創作,那樣太表面了。(現在最吸引人的呢?)還是創作!但得多元化創作,其實
陳威全的作品也有他獨特的味道。”

以前他認定公司要怎么樣的曲,他就寫怎么樣的曲;現在他知道自己應該寫怎么樣的曲,別人才會喜歡。

以前他認為歌手完完全全是唱片公司包裝出來的;現在他知道歌手本身的特質也是造就成功的一部份。

陳威全如今已踏足台灣的土地,為他的新專輯沖刺,歌曲和人都已經準備好,大家可以做的就是等待蛻變后的陳威全歸來。

赴台增曝光率

本地歌手的星途大都跑不掉這個模式:參加歌唱或創作比賽被發掘,有貴人相助的可以直飛台灣,不然就留在本地發片后再去台灣,最后風風光光紅著回來,不紅的?另尋出路。

無可否認,台灣確實是許多歌手夢想的發展地,或者說,是“朝聖地”。歌迷們對“喝過洋水”的歌手刮目相看之余,
陳威全也覺得這樣才會有更高的見報率。

“歌手想去台灣不外是想更多人聽到我們的音樂,我也在想,真的有不一樣嗎?或許是經過時間的磨練,而不經意作出的改變吧!應該是新聞價值的事,經歷的事情多了,也越來越會表達自己,這樣大家才有東西寫吧!”

開心被偷拍

紅得如金曲獎最佳新人得主林宇中及林俊傑,也要在台灣同志吧里玩親親博版位;紅得如曹格也和同性戀3字糾纏不清炒新聞。乖乖仔如
陳威全要如何在資訊爆炸的台灣報章上占一席位?

“沒有刻意要改變自己來爭取見報率,目前還是先做好創作人的本份吧!現在想如何做新聞也是多余。”

但原來托“前師兄”周傑倫的福,他也上過台灣《蘋果日報》的娛樂版。“如果沒記錯的話,應該是狗仔隊上來公司看看是不是可以拍到周傑倫,而我剛好站在那里看報紙,所以就被攝入鏡頭了,無聲無息,我被拍了也不懂。狗仔隊太厲害,可以上報的我則太高興,哈哈!”

結果照片引來公司上下議論紛紛,老板說新人比較難上報,沒想到
陳威全就做到了。

Merdeka Eve

Wondering where I was during last year National Day eve?
The answer is I’ve forgot!
Things that happened one year ago, I had totally forgotten, but things that happened long long ago, its still clear in view.
Perhaps that National Day Eve doesn’t have anything happened, therefore It doesn’t left any track on my memory.

Matters that on old time, definitely deeply ironing in mine mind, including this year National Day eve, I think it surely will mark in my mind for rest of my life.

Actually my vacation starts on 29th August, but it had retarded by an unwritten reason, five days of leaves being truncated to four days, and the arrangement that have been made need to shear the shed, my mood definitely falls to the bottom of the valley. Dunno who can continue with such mood? Don’t think will head to anywhere else except killing the time with those long TV Serial at home.

At the first day of the leaves, Ai Hong and Cat called to ask whether I joining with them to the Merdeka Countdown party at Poppy Colleciton. Saying that it’s an old friend reunion cum happy hour time at there. Don’t really feel wanted to go, but they play trick and claimed that if I don’t go, some other will not going as well, so I am the key of the decision. Darn!!! I really felt into theirs trap dy, therefore I must go!!!

Haih!@! Really needed obey to girls. Thought there sure will be a jam in the town center, since it’s Merdeka’s Eve and most of the road being closed for the parade at the next day. I also thought the vehicle queue will start from the Merdeka Square to the old airport.
But fortunately, jam or not, I could have a look to the night scene of Kuala Lumpur, the city that I long gave a proper look.

On the way, many vehicles were decorated attractively with Jalur Gemilang and each of them had displayed the patriotic spirit toward the country. Maybe because government had draft a rule that, no activities should held in KL except Merdeka Square, therefore area at Golden Triangle seems a bit lonely than usual, only families and little group of people are hang around in the mall and shop. Comparing to the Golden Triangle, clubs and pubs along the Jalan Sultan Ismail are much more happening. Everyone gather at the same place just to celebrate Malaysia Independent Day, also meeting with friend that not seen for a long time.

I usually won’t get drunk so easily, dunno what make me such high and drink that many, perhaps I really do a proper rest, therefore without noticed I had drink more than usual, luckily it’s happened only once and the only once, life still keep going on and cannot rest too much and too long.

Malaysia had become 50 years old, the magnificent 50 years;
will human have the magnificent 50 years?
Hopes Malaysia will keep continue and have its second, third magnificent 50 years uncountable, we human being must fight for create own magnificent 50 years!

Wishes Malaysia Happy Birthday!
My national territory, my family, my root.

国庆日前夕

想想去年的国庆日前夕我在哪里?
答案是忘记了!
一年前的事,
就忘了一干二净,
反而许久前的是还历历在目。
或许那一天并没有没有任何事情及节目,
因此没有留下任何记忆。

一些许久前的事,
竟可以深深的烙在我的脑海里,
今年的国庆日前夕,
想必也算得上符合资格被烙印在脑海里。

原本是在二十九日开始放假的,
但偏偏被一个不成文的理由而延迟了一天,
平白无故的五天休假,
竟被削了一天,
那天的编排被迫割舍,
我的心情简直是跌到了谷底。
试问有谁能继续那样的心情呢?
索性整个休假都呆在家里'煲'连续剧,
那里都不想去了。

就在休假的第一天,
爱虹和Cat播电来问我要不要一起出来聚聚,
说是一起庆祝国庆日。
美其名是个老朋友聚会,
其实是大伙儿一起去狂欢。
本来已经打算推了他们,
怎知她们竟然用阴招使坏,
用连锁效应逼我就范,
说什么我不去,那个谁谁谁也不去,
所以我一定要去!!!

被迫就范,也只好答应他们咯!
还以为,市中心的交通会非常的阻塞,
车龙会一路又独立广场到旧机场。
但还好,塞与不塞,
我都可以好好的看看许久不见得吉隆坡夜景景色。

一路上,
看到好多的车子都被装饰得非常漂亮,
个个都表现出了爱国的精神。
也许因为之前的政府活动庆典限制,
金山角一带都显得冷冷清清,
只有少许的人潮在购物商场内,
反而在苏丹伊斯迈耶路显得热闹。
大伙们聚在一起狂欢庆祝,
也难得许久不见的朋友,
可以籍着这个机会好好相聚一番。

平时少喝酒的我,
也不知道会喝那么多,
也许我真的想好好的让自己休息了,
所以不知不觉的比平时多喝了些,
还好一次就够了,
接下来还有更多的路要走,
不可以沉醉太久。

马来西亚五十岁了,
辉煌的五十年,
人会有辉煌的五十年吗?
但愿马来西亚有第二个,
第三个及很多很多的辉煌五十年,
人也要为自己创造自己的辉煌五十年!

祝马来西亚生日快乐!
我的国土,我的家,我的根。
