(Review) Ada apa dengan Cinta?


I finally got to watch this movie.. Gotta say that the actings aren't so good.. But for the romance and chemistry? No wonder it is said to be the most influencing romantic Indonesian movie. Dian Sastrowardoyo and Nicholas Saputra were so good looking together.


Lalu sekali ini aku lihat karya surga dari mata seorang hawa,
ada apa dengan cinta?
Tapi aku pasti akan kembali, dalam satu purnama.
Untuk mempertanyakan kembali cintanya.
Bukan untuknya, bukan untuk siapa.
Tapi untukku, karena aku ingin kamu.
Itu saja.

(Review) First Daughter




My second time watching this.. A story about the First Daughter trying to fit-in in the normal college life. If you love Chasing Liberty, or Queenbee, you gotta love this one.

Anyway, the poster sucks. The background is just all white with Katie Holmes looking so "im the first daughter. so what?!" but she's real pretty though.

(Review) Away We Go


"You're my light, Verona, my sky"

John Krasikinsi's soo cutee.. Has soo many beautiful scenes in it :) the movie itself is beautiful too. And LN's theory of not having strollers for babies.. somehow I agree with it.

(Review) Pan's Labyrinth/El laberinto del fauno


  • An adult fairy tale.
  • Dark.
  • The actor who plays Captain Vidal was reaaaally good at playing his role!! The sewing-his-mouth scene was memorable.
  • The type of movie that will leave you with questions.
  • I love the lullaby.

(Review) Alangkah Lucunya (negeri ini)



.
If I had my favorite Indonesian movies list, I would so gonna put this one on the top of it

It's funny, sad, and it smartly satirizes the corruptors of this country.

It describes the condition of our country very well. The high criminalities, the lack of jobs, and the people's strong belief in mistic things.
This is a movie that our officials of this country should watch.
This, is a movie that everyone should watch.

Well done Deddy Mizwar. Thumbs up.

"Kalian terganggu dengan pengemis dan pengasong, tapi nggak terganggu dengan ulah para koruptor yang memiskinkan kalian!"
"Kan koruptor nggak ganggu lalu lintas"

Memorable Musical Movies

1. Sweeney Todd

This is the best. A MUSICAL THRILLER. And Johnny Depp, Helena Bonham Carter and alsoooo the somehow weird Sacha Baron Cohen are in it.



2. Across the Universe

Very romantic indeed. The songs are greaaaaaattttt the best Beatles' cover ever.



3. The Phantom of the Opera

Ah well. Tbh I was kinda confused whether or not to put this one into the list.. Because personally I dont like the story. Phantom should be with Christine, not with the fucking Raoul. Butttt Emmy Rossum aka Christine's voice is the one that gives a really BIG plus. She's aaaaawesome in every song.

(Review) Let Me In



I cant believe they call it a decent remake. Its an awful remake. But I'd give it a 10 though

Out of 20.

Im sorryyy but its just awful. I understand if the movie's slow-paced, but it's TOO slow. It got me frustated. And Chloe Moretz doesnt fit the Abby character. Maybe because I've always thought of her as a cute little kid but whatever, she.doesnt.fit.abby.

The original is way better. Like, WAY WAY better.
Maybe I just had very high expectations.. Or maybe I just shouldnt watch the original one first. Aaaahh its just that its a remake of my very favorite movie and its so awful. Its a disgrace to the original. Its a disgrace!!!!!!!!!

Sorry for the Let Me In fans but I gotta disagree with you. And dont take is so seriously if I compared the movie to the original one, it's a remake. People compare. People gotta compare.

This, is the vampire girl from the Let the Right One In movie.. (the original)



Lina Leandersson in Let the Right One in is like Scott Pilgrim's tagline. "An epic of epic epicness"

1. Peppermint Candy!!
2. Black Swan..
3. 127 Hoursss!
4. Udaan
5. Wedding Dress

7. Swades: We, the People

(Review) The Truman Show




A guy starts to have suspicions about the world that he lives in, which is a world that is specially made for a television show. His whole life is a television show, even from the first time he was born.

Very entertaining indeed. Smart, I'd say. Loveeee the idea of the story and Truman's last sentence :D It's so mean to make his life a television show. Although it brings so many people joy and all but nevertheless, it's mean.
Hello Charlie.

Since Let Me In has already been released, im wondering is the movie AS good as the original? Its not that im hoping it is, cos im pretty sure it isnt HA just asking for more opinions. Beeeeecause just so you know, the original one rocked as hell. Many people say that the movie's good though. Atleast, a decent remake. But it so sucks that I cant watch it in the cinema.. Sooo, uhm.. its a signal, dear my precious torrent uploaders. Its a signal. PLEASE UPLOAD THE DVDRIP QUALITY A.S.A.P

Hehehehee luv movies luv torrents!!

(Review) Never Let Me Go




Ah, what can I say. It's beautiful, really. It's deep, and absolutely moving.
The movie has extraordinary sceneries in it. This one is my favorite:




Mulligan, Garfield, and Knightley fit all of the characters perfectly.

And dear Keira Knightley, you're insanely pretty in this movie. With the bangs and everything. Gotta love the high cheekbones.

(Review) You've Got Mail




Two people meet on the internet and start to have feelings for each other. But they're actually business rivals in reality.

Nothing special.. Just another romantic-comedy movie. Was pretty boring in the middle but got pretty good towards the end. Worth to watch if you dont have anything else to do.

(Review) The Man from Nowhere/Ajeossi



A story about an ex special agent who puts his own life at risk to save his neighbor, who is also his only best friend.

SPECTACULAR.

The movie defines the mix of terrifying and touching.
This is my first time crying upon an action movie (if im not mistaken..)

And for Won Bin, you played as an idiot guy in Madeo, then a mysterious special agent in Ajeossi. And feckin rocked both of the roles. You're awesome.

(Review) Summer Time Machine Blues/Samâ taimu mashin burûsu


I guess from the title you already know whats this movie about. Time travel!!! Five guys try to go to the past to prevent their air-conditioner's remote from being broken (this is serious. they all go back to the past just to fix their broken remote)

Well, this movie is SO MUCH fun! Yet arises curiosity as well.
Sorry Spielberg but Im afraid that Motohiro's Summer Time Machine Blues beats your Back to the Future :D But I still LOVE Back to the Future though. It is, too, an amazing time-travel movie :)

And one of the actors, Eita Nagayama REALLY looks like Minho.. Dont you think so??



(left to right: Minho, Eita)

(Review) Nobody Knows/Dare mo shiranai

IMDB Trailer



Tells the story of four siblings, all with different fathers. Abandoned by their mother, the oldest, Akira, has to take care of his younger siblings.

Beautifully slow-paced, and depressing.
More depressing than Requiem for a Dream I’d say.

I just cant stop repeating the last scene. Very, very beautiful indeed.

Introduction

Okay hello everyone! Alright. Welcome to my blog. This blog is basically about movies. So, ALL the posts that Im gonna write here are all related to movies. Whether if its a review, movies im looking forward to or just my personal favorite movie quotes. Previously, I thought that I'd make this movie blog of mine on tumblr buttttt i dont think tumblr is user-friendly enough for me so i decided to make it on blogspot instead :)

About the languages, yes it is mostly written in English but it doesn't mean that I won't write in Bahasa! When I feel like it, then I will do it. It's just a matter of time and of course, my mood. :D

The reason that I made this blog is because that I need my very own space for my movie talks :P It's like everytime I watch a really good movie I feel like I want to share it with somebody! Someone gotta know how good the movie is and gotta watch it for sure.. And then we can talk about it all day long hehe.

About my movies taste, I basically like everything.I love Hitchcock's classic movies to the cliche chick flicks. From Dial M for Murder to What a Girl Wants. From Requiem for a Dream to John Tucker Must Die. And from Kisaragi to Emak Ingin Naik Haji.

I watch movies for pleasure. I grow up watching so many movies and as time goes by, I realize that I learn a lot from them. And the thing that I love from movies the most is the feeling after you watch it. That "oh my God what the fuck" feeling after watching twisted movie endings, or that "aaawww.. I want a love story like that too!" after watching a very romantic movie and the other feelings that I really can't explain one by one.

And one thing to be noted, it's not like I think I know everything about movies. Nobody does. I am just one of the people who appreciate the existence of movies and pray for the first movie maker in the world to go to heaven.

And last, nobody is perfect (but I am nobody, so I should be perfect right? No? Ok..)
so, constructive critics are most welcomed :D
