One of our GMTeam crew got this email today. Watch out Kuala Lumpur!
Dear all,
For those who miss last weekend newspaper on the flood situation in Kelantan and Trengganu, the weather forecasted for around this coming November 15th is cold Siberian wind (due to melting of the ice caps – global warming) will be heading towards the equator and will result is another round of heavier rain hitting the East coast states. In this connection, the freak winter storm predicted for coming November 20th (article below) may have some truth, just stay aware and note the freaky weather in KL from now.The film explores the idea of a global doomsday event coinciding with the end of the Mayan Long Count Calendar's current cycle on or around 2012 (the northern hemisphere's winter solstice).
Jackson Curtis (John Cusack) is a divorced father who occasionally works as a limousine driver and a writer, while his ex-wife (Amanda Peet) and children live together with her new boyfriend. In Guatemala reports start coming in of mass suicides in the Mayan jungles of people attempting to avoid the impending apocalypse. The IHC (Institute for Human Continuity), a secret organization, has realized the situation and begins constructing vast arks beneath the Himalayan mountains designed to withstand most natural disasters in order save both the human race, significant species, and the greatest treasures of mankind for when doomsday finally happens. There are arguments however about how and when the governments of the world will alert their fellow citizens and even discussions about how the remaining survivors will be selected to survive Armageddon.
Meanwhile on a day trip to Yellowstone with his two young children, Jackson meets Charlie Frost, who hosts his own radio segment and blog about his belief that the Mayans are correct about 2012. Over the coming days vast cracks are found withing the fault lines in California, and despite the pleas from the government that everything is fine, Jackson isn't convinced. Hiring a private plane and gathering crucial supplies he races to his ex-wife's L.A. home to save himself and his family from the Earth's crust displacement occurring all around them. After a long and dangerous race through the downtown streets to get to the airfield, Amanda's new boyfriend Gordon uses his pilot skills to get the family to safety. As they look back the entire cityscape of Los Angeles has already started to crumble into the Pacific.
When they discover that the global cataclysm is happening much faster than expected, they must race to these ships in order to save the human race before all is lost. It soon becomes clear that it's not just Los Angeles that's experiencing disaster, the Yellowstone Supervolcano erupts,Las Vegas is destroyed by a massive chasm that cuts through the city and an ash cloud, more massive earthquakes occur in South America (one of which destroys the city of Rio de Janeiro). Washington, D.C. gets flooded by an enormous tidal wave which crushes the White House, and The Vatican in Rome crumbles into oblivion, destroying thousands of years of catholic architecture and killing hundreds of worshipers within seconds. As worldwide floodings get worse (even at one point beginning to climb over the Himalayas), the US government declares the end of the world.
A group of survivors, including Jackson Curtis and his family must fight their way to China before they can board the great arks and save themselves from the gigantic tidal waves sweeping across the Earth.

Last but not least, My "soon-to-be-favourite-movie", The Storm Warrior 2 !! Ah Sa !!!
The Storm Warriors (simplified Chinese: 风云II; traditional Chinese: 風雲II) is an upcoming 2009 Hong Kong martial arts/wuxia film, produced and directed by the Pang brothers. It is the second live-action film adaptation of screenwriter Ma Wing-Shing's manhua Fung Wan, following the 1998 film The Storm Riders. The Pangs have stated that the film is not a direct sequel to The Storm Riders, but more of a stand-alone film with a separate storyline.[1] The Storm Warriors is also known by its English-language working title, The Storm Riders II, a title that was changed in order to avoid copyright disputes. Ekin Cheng and Aaron Kwok respectively reprise their roles as Wind and Cloud, who this time find themselves up against Lord Godless (Simon Yam), a ruthless Japanese warlord bent on invading China.
For the film, the Pangs were inspired by Fung Wan's popular Japanese Invasion story arc The Death Battle.[2] The Storm Warriors was shot primarily in Bangkok, Thailand, and marks the first Chinese film to be shot in bluescreen and on custom-made sets. While it is currently in post-production, the film is expected to be released in Hong Kong on 17 December 2009.[3]
