Why can't I find the semi-finalists for Juara Lagu 2001 on the net? The only thing that I know is three out of four Nora's songs are in. How about the rest? And why can't they post the name on the Muzik Muzik's website? Why?
Have you listened to Ziana's new album? If not, better book your CD now. I love track 1, 2, 4, 6, 8 and 9 but I really disappointed with Cintamani by Adnan. It sounds like a cut-and-paste song! I don't mind if it comes from Azmeer or Saari Amri but not Adnan Abu Hassan. And why can't he gives Azlan to produce his songs. Well, I'm not denying that Adnan is very good in creating good melodies but when he produce them, the songs sound too kampung!
Actually I don't know what to write. Oh, maybe I should say something about Kaki Bakar. I went to see this movie last Wednesday with Mus and Ameer. You want the verdict? I loooooove it very very much. It's so Cannes!
Don't be surprised it's only 70-plus minutes long because initially it was produced for the TV station. This first Malay film - until this moment, Kaki Bakar remains the only Malaysia film - ever screened at the Cannes Film Festival tells a story of Kakang, an Indonesian who married to a local woman, fighting for his principle.
Disappointed with the society, he teaches his beloved son, Kesumo, on the importance of standing up by the principle and always act like a man. To be exact, act like a jantan! As a result, Kakang doesn't only burnt down the pondoks but his not-baligh son too. And his confused son was the one who put a full stop at the end of his journey.
Kaki Bakar doesn't need Erra or Awie to sing the half-cooked songs to give some soothing mood to the audience. And this film requires no love scenes to keep people nailed to their chairs. The scene when Kakang cried after sang a Javanese traditional song, to me, is the most beautiful scene ever! Now, I doubt that my dad or his dad had never cried in their life before.
