A friend in Canada told me earlier yesterday that he had already watched Dr. Seuss’ Horton Hears a Who! Is it in cinemas yet here in Malaysia? I am so lazy to check the cinema listings. This CG Hollywood animation movie is from the creators of Ice Age. Awww how I enjoyed watching Ice Age, though Ice Age 2was not as enjoyable as the first Ice Age movie, in my opinion.

Also, Jim Carrey is the voice of Horton, the elephant while Steve Carell takes on the voice of The Mayor of Whoville. These two make a killer combination and you can expect lots of laughs from Horton Hears a Who!

Although the target audience for Dr. Seuss’ Horton Hears a Who! is children, according to my friend, he fears that kids may not understand the movie fully but of course they will laugh when they think some scenes are funny. Well, even Canadian kids found it difficult to understand, what about Malaysian kids? Anyway, this movie is suitable for all ages as you can see from the trailer.

When was the first time I watched Shutter, the original movie in Thai? If memory serves me right, it was 1.5 – 2 years ago. However, I still remember going to the cinema to watch it and came home with a shiver down my spine and I could hardly sleep that night even though the movie is in Thai, a language that I do not understand.

Yes, it was THAT scary and believe me when I say not many horror movies could match the scary factor of Shutter. In fact, this movie is so good that I bought a DVD BUT until today, I dare not watch a second time. I just want to KEEP it.

Now, American movie makers have decided to remake Shutter and turn it into an English language movie and setting it in Japan. As a fan of the original Shutter, I am afraid that this movie will be spoilt. I don’t know, maybe I am biased!
