ZOMBI KAMPUNG PISANG – Lebih Baik Tengok Doraemon
Pembikinan dan tayangan filem terbaru Tayangan Unggul Sdn Bhd (TUSB), Zombi Kampung Pisang adalah satu kerugian besar kepada industri perfileman.Namun, unit panel skrip professional yang ditubuhkan pada 2004 yang dipanggil X|Consultative Committee berpendapat Zombi Kampung dikeluarkan. Panel tersebut terdiri daripada Prof Madya Dr Asiah Sarji, Prof Madya Raja Ahmad Alauddin, Fatimah Abu Bakar, Jeffry Ab Talib, Mohamed Juhari Shaarani dan Shafiuddin Shariff.
Zombi Kampung Pisang sepatutnya sebuah filem seram komedi yang dikatakan lari dari noorma lazim filem tempatan yang tampil dengan unsure ‘spoof’.
Ezlynn yang diberi kepercayan untuk memegang watak utama gagal dalam tanggungjawabnya. Mungkin kerana beliau terikat dengan mutu skrip sedemikian. Begitu juga Awie.
Que Haidar pula berlakun sebagai seorang pemuda Kelantan bernama Deris yang sepatutnya kelakar menggunakan dialek tetapi langsung tidak berkesan.
Filem ini juga dijayakan oleh AZ Mizal, Nadia Mustafar, Soffi Jikan, Zami Ismail, Jalil Hamid, Loloq dan Ruminah Sidek.
Sepatutnya, sesebuah penghasilan filem yang baru mestilah sesuatu yang lebih bermutu daripada apa yang ada atau pernah ditayangkan.
Lebih Baik Buat Cerekarama
Zombi Kampung Pisang bukan tarafnya untuk difilemkan. Mamat Khalid sepatutnya menayangkan untuk siaran televisyen untuk slot cerekarama. Kos pembikinan filem tersebut ialah sebanyak RM1.2 juta. Boleh dikatakan jumlah tersebut satu pembaziran dan jumlah tersebut dirasakan mampu untuk menghasilkan mutu filem yang jauh lebih baik daripada Zombi Kampung Pisang.
Kita pernah memenangi beberapa anugerah di peringkat festival antarabangsa, termasuklah filem Dari Jemapoh ke Manchestee arahan Hishamuddin Rais. Saya rasa belanja filem Hishamuddin tidak setinggi Mamat Khalid.
Mamat Khalid juga bertindak sebagai Pengarah Lakon Layar dan Cerita Asal.
Zombi yang Bukan Zombi
Filem ini adalah berkisar mengenai Keadaan di sebuah Kampung terpencil, Kampung Pisang yang pada awalnya tenteram bertukar menjadi kecoh dan huru-hara akibat daripada kematian mengejut bilal kampong tersebut.
Zombifikasi
Hanya satu yang menarik dalam filem ini iaitu lagu tema, Zombifikasi nyanyian Awie dan AZ Mizal hasil lirik Mamat Khalid dan ciptaan Shamril Salleh.
Zombi Kampung Pisang akan mula ditayangkan pada 22 April ini.

Free Burmese Asylum Seekers
The Youth Wing of People’s Justice Party (AMK) calls the Ministry of Home Affairs, Datuk Radzi Sheikh Ahmad and the Immigration Department to immidiately release 20 over asylum seekers and refugees from Burma who were arrested in a RELA (People's Volunteer Corp) raid on 4th April, 2007.Among them, two nursing mother with new-born babies were also arrested by the RELA. They are Bawi Sung, who has a 3-month-old baby, and Hniang Zitial who has a 1-month-old baby.
They were arrested when they are doing grocery shopping. Both their babies are not with them when they were arrested.The RELA raid took place in Pudu market, downtown of Kuala Lumpur at around 11am. The detainees including 5 recognised refugees by the United Nations High Commission of Refugees (UNHCR).
AMK condemns the arrest and calls for the immediate release of all the arrested asylum seekers, especially those UNHCR refugee card holders and women. We need to remind the Government that Article 14 of The Universal Declaration of Human Rights (1948) guarantees everyone to have the right to seek and to enjoy in other countries asylum from persecution.
As an elected member of the UN Human Rights Council, the Malaysian government should respect the right of refugees in accordance to international human rights law.

Turtles too Can Defeat Monsters!
David Beckam used to say, “Impossible is Nothing”. After I was invited by Tayangan Unggul Sdn Bhd to watch Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle, I would agree to what David had said.
Even though defeating a monster is something impossible to do and being a turtle, with strategic thinking, a little spirit and a teamwork, tech-industrialist, Max Winter who amassed an army of ancient, evil creatures to help him take over the world at the end lost – to turtles and they are in their teens!
Who said Khairy is powerful with his father-in-law being the Prime Minister? Who said BN (pronounce Barisan Nasional) can be toppled?
We don’t need to become turtles, we don’t need to learn ninja. What we only need is a spirit to reform. With commitment, and some pray to Almighty God, we can. Remember, justice can be delayed but never denied.
The Spirit of The Turtles
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle (TMNT) is about four brothers; Leonardo, Raphael, Michelangelo and Donatello who have grown apart as a family: Leonardo has been traveling the world for the last year, honing his skills, Raphael has been scouring the streets at night as a masked vigilante, the Nightwatcher, taking a page from Casey Jones’ book. Michelangelo, in order to bring money in, has taken a job as a masked children’s birthday party character (known as “Cowabunga Carl”), and Donatello works as an information technology consultant.
They started to be apart after the defeat of their old arch nemesis, The Shredder.
Shredder – Avillainous ninja master named Oroku Saki who, along with his evil Foot Clan, is the arch-enemy of Splinter and the Turtles. Shredder wears a fearsome suit of armor covered with sharp blades, Also, in many of the earlier, less comic-oriented cartoons and films, Oroku Saki is directly responsible for both the mutation and the death of Hamato Yoshi. Other villains later took on his identity.
New York City under the imaginary of the director
The re-united of the TMNT started when strange events occurred in New York City where fast moving shadows, strange star alignments, and creatures attacking the city. It was the wealthy mysterious industrialist Max Winters who involved in the scheme.
While the city was at stake and need the Turtles more than ever, Leonardo being the eldest who was away on a special training mission came home and pay his duty.
Leonardo is the de facto leader of the Ninja Turtle. Leonardo is courageous, decisive, and a devoted student of martial arts. As a strict adherent to Bushido, he has a very strong sense of honor and justice, He wears a blue mask and wields a pair of katanas.
The one who behind the unity of the brothers is Zen Master Splinter. He had restored unity and ninja discipline to the Turtles.
Splinter is the Turtles’ sensei and adoptive father. Splinter is a mutant rat who learned the ways of ninjutsu from his own master, Hamato Yoshi.
They fight as one. Together again.
The way it was meant to be.
A team. A family.
Computer-Generated Imagenery
TMNT was directed by Kevin Munroe with a genre: Action and Adventure, Fantasy, Animation. Unlike the previous films, TMNT utilize 100% computer-generated imagery, produced by Imagi Animation Studios and distributed by Warner Bros. Pictures and The Weinstein Company.
Chronologically, this movie takes place after the original film, retconning the other original movies out of existence, similar to how Superman Returns takes place after Superman II.
In Malaysia, it will be released in April 5, 2007 it will be the fourth film released in the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles franchise.
