Ya, would be good to see Underworld in the cinema. Censorship board seem to have something against Vampire movies... All Blade movies didn't make it...

Pontianak=Yes, Vampire=No

nice to know that they are certainly very literate in that sense...!

Aiya.. the pontianak movies are barely 18SG. Maybe this shows how realistic vampire movies are and how ... don't know what to say ... pontianak movies are.. I watched Pontianak Harum Sundal Malam twice and I think it's a good storyline but it could be much better.

[vkkf1977]

mayb THAT's the reason. not as ...er... "seram" as the hollywood one!

I agree. PHSM 1 & 2 is good but lack a lots of things. But when we interview Suhaimi Baba, she said she tried her best to satisfy the audience but have to work within Finas guidelines. At least there is a local director/producer who brave enough to do a horror movie. Well if u notice something that look jumpy & confusing at the end of PHSM 1, u know who's behind it la. But Underworld, i cannot accept any reaso they shld banned it. It's not totally gore horror but have action & a little romance. If it is banned, i'm the one who will die first. Have to change writeup, contest in the mag, mampus

minor anouncement: Sony Picture representative just have a meeting in our office. censorship has allowed the film to be shown at our cinema....with minor cuts. how minor is the minor, not sure.

but again 'V for Vendetta' suffer the same fate. as for the London bombing scene, anti-govt thingy, revolution stuff (watever la)... i hate to comment more. Will they banned 'Flight 93' next June coz afraid M'sian got ideas hijacking a plane even it's originated from 911 events? For me this all happen for a stupid reason. Tak kisah la, comic adaptation or real life events... it's just a story telling process done through film. If they couldnt handle that, maybe later kids will not allowed to read Sejarah Melayu book anymore.

[vkkf1977]

Sejarah Melayu brings back memories of the Hikayat Hang Tuah/Jebat stuff that i went through for BM!!!

As long as we have censorship, that's where our dear "friends" will always be in demand! So, their business should shoot up with these 2 movies???
