3 September 2015 Sinister 2 Movie and Fatal Accident Near Sogo

On 3 September we went to watch a free movie because we had 2 tickets...
The title of the movie: SINISTER 2...

We caught the 11.55 Morning show on a weekday, well, because we were both retired and had all the time in the world, hehe

while waiting for the hall to open, like anyone else, we checked our smartphones because, we need to keep up with the times, and the art of conversation has, sadly, died.
And everywhere on the news, the social network, the whatsapp groups were these pics and news..

 the overhead bridge had fallen and had caused a massive jam...
 the massive jam was a standstill and traffic was gridlocked....
 actually, news spread widely that the overhead bridge collapsed, actually it was just an accident that caused the jam, not the collapse....
 a very nasty accident
 that had everyone caught in the snarl which got no one anywhere









 Meanwhile, all was quiet and peaceful at the cinema, because it was a working morning on a weekday, and the cinema hall was near empty save for a lone woman walking around

 I was so free, I started selfie-ing
 I did not need to selfie because there was a mirror....look, my partner is so engrossed  he is oblivious to what his wife is doing






 Ia pasti menghantui mu.....
it will surely haunt you....and it did, it was a horrible movie, showing grisly ways of how whole families die at the hands of a young family member who has to film the whole dying process in creative ways, like "picnic" " Barbeque" "fishing" ....sounds innocuous, but it is at the picnic/bbq/church outing/etc etc  that the families die horrific deaths. What is more sick is that the young family member is made to sit through other families' deaths, blow by blow...blow all they might, I closed my eyes and kept them shut. except the part where the rats burrowed out of the live bodies in an attempt to escape their own deaths, (I thought they had died, and I opened my eyes)..before they kill their own families. 


 Next day, the newspaper had to clarify that the jam was caused by accidents, and not a damaged bridge.




so between reality and make believe, people died....and people suffered.....and btw, DO NOT, I repeat, DO NOT watch Sinister 1 or 2 or 3 (2 ended with a possibility of a 3) because well, do you want to watch how people die????? and watch how people die through the eyes of a child, and watch how people die, at the hands of a child.

Watch instead Insidious and its sequels directed by James Wan.

The Hundred Foot Journey

 As part of the prize, I got 2 in season passes to


 The 100 Foot Journey, 


so to find out what the hype was all about, 


caught the movie as soon as possible.


 Glad to say, we thoroughly enjoyed the movie,


 for its scenery, story and the recipes hahaha.


"an Indian family opens a restaurant across the street from a Michelin-starred French restaurant "

this is the premise of the movie.

The Michelin-starred restaurant is 100 foot away from the Indian Restaurant, literally!


I got all my pictures from the BVI facebook :

 Escape to the South of France with Academy-Award winner Helen Mirren.



When the Indian family got stranded Marguerite brought them in and served them visually appealing food on a giant tray like this

Hearty, colourful food that she made, grew and plucked herself!!
 something like this: someone had a lunch inspired by the above!

 Of course, Le Cordon Bleu features prominently in the movie
 It is based on a novel by???? I forgot!!!
ok,ok, here it is....
book tie-up with the movie
 Om Puri  as the quirky, sometimes silly and impractical father
 Manish Dayal  as the gifted cook/chef who married Indian and French cuisine
 Dame Helen Mirren as the haughty but nice owner of the Michelin starred restaurant
and Charlotte Le Bon as Hassan's love interest and rival

The movie is full of cliches and quotable quotes like theses:

 In my kitchen we cook with class, and her restaurant is patronised by ministers on Bastille Day.
Food is Memories, because Hassan lost his mother and is transplanted from his hometown.

Are you ready to explore the South of France
with outdoor cafes like this

and woods like this
 The omelette that he got Madame Mallory to make because he injured both his hands

 Oprah Winfrey chose the book and the story, Steven Spielberg produced/directed the movie
with two big names like that, you can expect an epic movie

 Food and recipes from the movie, I have a post dedicated to these...!!!

 Indian spices readily available in Malaysia too

 They work in Le Cordon Bleu kitchen, I read that these two had to actually observe and practise in real kitchen before they could act as chefs in one


Hassan serves gourmet fish


veloute, Espagnole, bachamel, hollandaise, tomato


can you identify the above 4 sauces mentioned in the movie?


After watching the movie you will be craving Indian food and 

French food, in fact any food, because I am hungry now!!!
