GUBRA

is a darn good show. Yasmin Ahmad's third film after Rabun & Sepet, it's only half a continuation of Sepet, with subplots that form another story on its own. Two days ago i had to cover the movie premiere at GV Grand. Thank god i did, cos it looks like Gubra might not pass censors for religious content.. it might pass but definitely kena sunat - snip, snip. anyway the show was fantastic and had me laughing and gasping and tearing, for the entire 2 hours it ran. fabulous.

i was going to write a review but now i think i will wait a little. i want to watch sepet first, then i can compare the two. sharifah amani is a real cutie in person - very petite but with a big personality, very cheeky and bubbly, smartass young girl. she made me feel old... did i ever have that much energy before? geez.

ok, im kicking around til 6 pm when i get my edit slot. got a ghost tour trailer due tomorrow.. so looks like i'll be staying late editing horror stories again.. but the cross promo that i did for dimensi-4 yesterday was worth it la. both my mgrs say scary.. haha. it was stupid when i kept getting startled editing my own trailer - got this stupid man's contorted screaming face at the end, that no matter how many times i see it, still scares me.. bleah. oh, the trailer will be showing on other channels too so look out for it! =) (shameless, heh heh).

Four and a half hours to 6 pm... sigh.
