Terminator Elation

Writer: Ezekiel Lee Zhiang Yang

1 Jun – Rahim Mat Jani must have felt like Christian Bale when he effectively terminated the competition last evening at the "Target The Terminators" Nerf gun contest at Movie Carnival 2009 and emerged victor, taking home a brand new Sony Ericsson mobile phone.

He said: "This is the second time I've been to Movie Carnival and I'm only too happy to win this phone by just shooting the gun. It's actually quite fun! Although I haven't watched the movie, I'll definitely make plans to watch it by next week, as I've seen all the Terminator movies before this. Thanks for the phone!"

"Target The Terminators" is one of the more popular instant-win games at Movie Carnival 2009 where contestants battle each other at accuracy using the Nerf Gun (available for sale on ground) and live out action scenes from the latest blockbuster "Terminator Salvation". Another round of the game will be held this second weekend of Movie Carnival 2009.

Not coincidentally, director McG's "Terminator Salvation" starring Christian Bale and Sam Worthington is the top movie last weekend at the Malaysian box office, ahead of "Night At The Museum: Battle Of The Smithsonian" and "Monsters vs Aliens".

There is also multiplayer showcase of the latest Terminator PC game being held at the carnival and an upcoming contest for all avid gamers. Those interested are urged to register to be in the running to win fabulous prizes from Sony, including a 32" LCD TV and a Skinny-T digital camera.
