Noah Movie Poster

Filem terbaru lakonan Russel Crowe, 'Noah' telah diharamkan tayangannya oleh Lembaga Penapisan Filem (LPF) di Malaysia selepas filem yang diangkat dari kitab Bible Old Testament itu memaparkan wajah nabi secara visual.

“Kami sudah menonton proses penapisan bersama panel Ahli Lembaga dan wakil Jabatan Kemajuan Islam Malaysia (JAKIM) pada 12 Mac lalu. Memang selepas menonton, filem itu tidak boleh ditayangkan kerana ia memaparkan wajah nabi pada visual,” ujar Pengerusi Lembaga Penapisan Filem, Datuk Abdul Halim Abdul Hamid.

Selain Malaysia, filem yang turut menampilkan Anthony Hopkins dan Emma Watson ini juga terlebih dahulu berdepan pengharaman di Qatar, Bahrain dan Emiriah Arab Bersatu (UAE). Malah, beberapa negara lain turut dijangka akan mengikut jejak langkah sama.

Final 'Potter' film offers magical conclusion

Final 'Potter' film offers magical conclusion

"Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows - Part 2" picks up immediately where the preceding part left off, and from there we are thrust into a fast-paced sendoff to the most successful film series of all time.

The omissions of points from the novel are glaring, as is the case with every "Potter" movie. In fact, "Part 2" clocks in as the shortest of the film entries at 130 minutes. We don't see enough of our favorite characters, and anyone who doesn't belong to the Church of Rowling will have a hard time grasping the significance of some of the more intricate plot details. more

'Super 8' takes over box office from 'X-Men'

'Super 8' takes over box office from 'X-Men'

The Steven Spielberg-produced, J.J. Abrams-directed thriller debuts at No. 1 in the box office, grossing $37 million. 'Judy Moody' has a weak initial showing, taking in $6.3 million.

There's still some magic in the Steven Spielberg touch as "Super 8," a coming-of-age/sci-fi movie hybrid, topped the box office this weekend — a rarity for an original film released in a summer filled with reboots, prequels and sequels.

The Spielberg-produced and J.J. Abrams-directed film, with no A-list stars and a moderate budget, grossed $37 million upon its debut, according to distributor Paramount Pictures. That was enough to beat out a movie from a more well-established franchise in its second week of release, "X-Men: First Class," which collected $25 million.

Shape-shifting robots, a nerdy guy and a bombshell is a movie formula that Megan Fox never got comfortable with - according to her former "Transformers" co-star, Shia LaBeouf.

"Megan developed this Spice Girl strength, this woman-empowerment [stuff] that made her feel awkward about her involvement with Michael [Bay], who some people think is a very lascivious filmmaker, the way he films women," the "Transformers: Dark of the Moon" star told The Los Angeles Times Hero Complex blog. more

X-men: First Class Movie Review

X-men: First Class Movie Review

"X-Men: First Class" charts the epic beginning of the X-Men saga, which parallels the history of the Cuban Missile Crisis and the Civil Rights Movement of the 60s. Before mutants had revealed themselves to the world, and before Charles Xavier (James McAvoy) and Erik Lensherr (Michael Fassbender) took the names Professor X and Magneto, they were two young men discovering their powers for the first time. Not archenemies, they were instead at first the closest of friends, working together with other Mutants to stop Armageddon. Through the process, a rift begins, which initiates the eternal war between Magneto's Brotherhood and Professor X's X-Men.

Distributor: 20th Century Fox
Cast: James McAvoy, Michael Fassbender, Nicholas Hoult, Jennifer Lawrence, Kevin Bacon, January Jones, Rose Byrne, Jason Flemyng, Lucas Till
Director: Matthew Vaughn
