WANT HELP WITH WHAT TO WATCH THIS MONTH? FILMMAKER AND DIRECTOR KAM RASLAN MAKES THE CASE FOR THESE MOVIES.

FILM REVIEWS

Captain Marvel, Can You Ever Forgive Me and The Accountant are playing onboard. Check your in-flight entertainment system for channel information.

CAN YOU EVER FORGIVE ME?Based on the true story of how celebrity biographer Lee Israel (Melissa McCarthy) fell from her heights as a New York Times bestselling author and was unable to pay her rent or feed her cat but suddenly found temporary success selling letters she forged of the dead celebrities she knew so well. But the success was only temporary, and the FBI closed in on her and her inept partner-in-crime (Richard E. Grant).

I enjoy a good superhero movie, but Can You Ever Forgive Me? helps to remind us that movies can be about more than action, noise and a one-eyed man called Fury. They can also be about characters that are not saving the world but are down-on-their-luck. And it can be about great acting without the distraction of computer-generated special effects. Melissa McCarthy is one of the funniest people alive, but she’s proving that she can be a dramatic actor with heart, without taking the schmaltzy roles that Robin Williams chose. Richard E. Grant is compelling as a selfish conman in a role that might tell us what happened to his character in Withnail and I (1987). Both won Oscar nominations for their performances.

Turning clichés about the romance of writing and New York on their heads (Sex and the City’s Carrie Bradshaw would have died in this

THE ACCOUNTANTPerhaps because I come from a family of accountants, it was hard for me to imagine that a movie called The Accountant could be a high-octane thriller about a savant, Bond-like, ninja-like assassin who happens to also be incredibly good at doing sums. I consider being good at maths to be a super power, which might be why I enjoy The Accountant so much (I’ve watched it several times).

Ben Affleck is the criminal underworld’s accountant who can be trusted to keep secrets because he has lived his entire life anonymously beyond the government’s control. Diagnosed with a high functioning form of autism, he shies away from people and sensory overload, and his only “friend” is a computerised voice that manages his work. After being persuaded to take on a seemingly safe job of corporate forensic accounting, he finds himself having to fight to save not just himself but also a young accountant (Anna Kendrick).

What is so enjoyable about The Accountant is not that it is simply an action thriller but that the various plotlines, and the maths, need to be solved and unfolded. It is a journey of twists and discoveries as well as action.

Captain Marvel is an excellent extension of a story universe that has come to dominate movies for the last 10 years, and it doesn’t look like it will stop soon. I don’t know what’s more dazzling: This new Captain Marvel movie or the genius of the long-term thinking that has been put into plotting out the whole Marvel universe.

CAPTAIN MARVELStung by the criticism that its top superheroes are all men (Scarlett Johansson’s Black Widow doesn’t have any super powers), Marvel has answered the enormous success of DC’s Wonder Woman with Captain Marvel, the story of a regular human given super powers so enormous that they could dwarf anything that has come before. The movie barely scratches the surface of what she could potentially do, but from what I’ve seen already, she completely up-ends everything I thought I knew about the superhero laws of physics. She is Marvel’s woman with powers that equal DC’s Superman.

I’m not going to ruin the plot of Captain Marvel’s genesis for you because her identity and life’s purpose are very cleverly revealed to us and to her in stages so that the movie ends in a very different place from where we imagined it might at the beginning.

Unlike the DC universe, Marvel has barely put a foot wrong. DC faced a backlash after going way too dark and adult with Batman and with Superman before veering in the completely opposite direction with the near-slapstick and, well, comic-strip Aquaman that must have been aimed squarely at 13-year-olds. Marvel on the other hand has succeeded in appealing to the kid in us while also working to grow older with us. In creating an abundance of characters with slightly different demographic appeals (from aging, super-rich Tony Stark to life’s loser Ant Man and now Captain Marvel), Marvel has threaded a complex web of stories that speak to each other. The movies age with the actors in real time and when that story strand ends, another will emerge to take over. And then, who knows, in five years, the character might have a rebirth?

city), director Marielle Heller treats her wilfully unlikable characters with the unshakeable love of a parent and sees them through to a redemption of realism and understanding.

ARTIST OF THE MONTH

A fateful encounter in a singing competition she did not win catapulted Malaysian singer Misha Omar into the limelight in the early 2000s. With her dynamic and expressive voice that transitions smoothly between gentle and powerful notes, her sentimental pop ballads took the local music industry by storm. Her recent years have been defined by more live performances than studio work, caring for her family, as well as ventures into acting in film, television and theatre. Going Places catches up with her amid her busy schedule to hear her story and views.

famous Malaysian singers, including Dato’ Sri Siti Nurhaliza, Fauziah Latiff and Dayang Nurfaizah). He had faith in my talent and brought me to BMG Music Malaysia. From there, we worked on my first album, which was released in 2002.

How would you describe yourself as a singer?I don’t see myself as just a singer. I think I am more a storyteller, but in song.

With a career spanning more than a decade, what are some of the challenges you have faced?The biggest challenge for me was two years ago, when I lost my voice right after giving birth to my son, Idris. Thankfully, I managed to recover my voice after attending lots of vocal classes with (vocal coach and songstress) Datuk Syafinaz Selamat.

The music industry is unforgiving, and with many new singers being discovered all the time. How do you ensure you remain relevant to your fans?I don’t have a special strategy for this. I believe in pure talent, staying humble and working hard. Do not give up on learning.

What has been the most memorable moment in your 18-year career? The most memorable moment in my career was when I heard my song being played on the radio for the first time. It gave me goosebumps!

What inspires you in your music and in life?Honesty. When you are honest, you will give your all in life, your career and whatever you do.

Who are some of your musical icons, and what is it about them that you admire?I have so much respect for Datuk Syafinaz Selamat. She’s a singer, a vocal teacher and a lecturer at the same time. She is so passionate about what she is doing right now, and she has helped a lot of people, including me. From her, I learned not to give up on learning. Each day, you learn something new and you’ve got to improve yourself from day to day.

What do you think of the Malaysian music scene?I think the Malaysian music industry is growing. There’s a lot of new talent today and they’re venturing into multiple genres, not just pop. The use of social media has really helped them to boost their own marketing to make them mainstream. As an artist who has been around, I welcome them with open arms as I can learn a lot from them as well.

How has social media changed you?I use social media as a way to reach out to my fans and to give them updates on my career. Less than half of my posts are about my personal life. Social media helps us a lot, especially when you’re about to launch a new single or album and you want the public to know about it. It really helps to generate a lot of hype over upcoming concerts or new singles. Social media makes a lot of things easier.

How do you react to criticism?There are two types of critics out there, and I choose to listen to the constructive ones who will motivate me and make me a better person. For the rest who are critical and are always trying to put me down, I just turn a blind eye and ignore them. Taking in constructive criticism is what helps us to change.

Misha Omar's music is playing onboard under the Malay music genre. Check your in-flight entertainment system for channel information.

Tell us a bit about yourself.I am Misha Omar. Not many of you know that my name is Samiha@Aisha binti Omar. I am 37 years old and married with two kids. I grew up in a big family with seven siblings in Kota Bharu, Kelantan.

How and when did you first get into music?It happened in 2001 when I joined this singing competition organised by RTM (Bintang RTM) and during full dress rehearsal, I met Datuk Adnan Abu Hassan (the late renowned musician and composer who mentored many
