Movie Review : New Moon

This sequel of Twilight opened with a bang on US,with its biggest single day domestic gross there. However,this movie can’t defeat 2012 in its total audience here. This afternoon,I could easily buy the ticket and get a nice seat with nobody sit in my left corner,and I never heard someone getting a difficulty getting the ticket for this movie.

I was a little bit excited for this movie because I wanted to see the werewolves in it and The Volturi. Here’s my take:

In the beginning of the film, Bella dreams about herself look like an older woman. Because of that,she gets annoyed everytime someone talks about her age/birthday. Well,it’s must be bizarre to be in her position,when you yourself getting older and your bf/gf still looks the same. The Cullens throw a birthday party for her in which Jasper becomes berserk when Bella gets a paper cut. Therefore,Edward decides to end their relationship,in order for Bella to be safe,and he and his family move out of Forks.

That tragic sudden event makes Bella depressed for months. Oh boy,that’s even worse than my current state of depression LOL fortunately,I didn’t get as many nightmares as Bella hahahaha. Love is painful definitely. So,Bella starts to seek high adrenaline activities and she starts to hang out with Jacob. She gets really comfortable with him and her pain gradually goes away. At some point,Jacob promises to Bella that he won’t do what Edward did to Bella. That promise got broken unfortunately because he’s a werewolf and he’s afraid of hurting Bella. Thus,he orders Bella to stay away from him.

Let’s fast forward to the scene where Bella jumps from the cliff to get her adrenaline rush,where Alice and Edward thought she killed herself. Alice goes to Bella’s house and meet Bella while Edward got distraught by that event,and he goes to The Volturi to beg them to end his life. They reject his proposal and he decides to act carelessly by exposing himself to the sun and many people outside. Luckily,Bella arrives on time and saves him. After that,The Volturi express their opinion that Bella knows too much about the existence of vampires and she must be transformed to vampires or get killed. Alice tells them that she’s going to change Bella herself,and thus they release Bella.

The Cullens vote in favor of transforming Bella, Edward still mulling about that,while Jacob reminds Bella that if one of the vampires bits a human then their treaty will end.Edward tells Bella that he left to protect her and he always loves her,Bella agrees to marry him and to be continued……….

Many of my friends think this movie got cut abruptly,while I don’t think so. It’s not that abrupt for me,they cut at the right place at the right time. The architecture of the area where The Volturi reside is very beautiful,so stunning. I love that landscape. The romance in this movie isn’t over the top,I think it’s relatable. I understand Jacob’s frustration,I can understand why Bella prefers Edward over Jacob. I think love is a complex thing. That’s why every songs in the world is about love and people can’t get enough of it. LOL. After I experience how it felt,I can understand movie like this even better. Btw I love this movie more than the first one. The Volturi are spectacular, I love Dakota Fanning, and love the werewolves CGI effect.

Movie Review : 2012

I thought this movie would generate a fair showing,I was wrong,the turnout for this movie is so huge in my country. Every theater is packed and the queue is so long,many people can't even get a bad seat. Even though per theater there are more than 3 studios airing this movie.

As everybody knows,this film talks about the end of the world because of the solar flare and the massive natural disaster because of that,which Mayans have predicted since long ago. The early part of the film is pretty drowsy for me,too much explanation and talking between characters. It's important for the plot of the movie but tiresome to follow. Woody Harrelson plays a crazy radio host who prophesies the end of the world brilliantly,he seems like a mad man indeed. I love the destruction in Pasadena city,every houses crumble,every tall building goes down,the road cracks,etc. The special effect galore in this movie are unbelievable,no wonder this movie costs US$200 million dollar to make. I'd say it's worth it,it's not over the top I think.

My disappointment is that I didn't see Eiffel Tower,Pisa Tower and many world famous building icon being destroyed. Only a handful of them are shown in the movie. The display of tsunami,volcano,earthquake,etc is mind boggling. No wonder,so many Indonesian watch this movie for the 2nd times and so on. It might be the biggest movie this year in here. That Russian billionaire is very funny too,especially when John Cusack can't start the car engine and that billionaire takes control and uses his voice recognization LMAO.

The message that I got from this movie is that we as a human should unite together and forget about our differences like races,religion,cultures,gender,sexual orientation,nationality and start to realize that in this planet,we are all one. We're together in this and we should love one another and stop this madness that has been going on since ancient times. I hope this movie although with its special effect bonanza,will make some people realize about their true identity.

Kris Allen Performs "Let It Rain" at Live in the Vineyard

I think this is one of the best song from his debut album.Jive should release it as the 2nd single or 3rd single.

Movie Review : Michael Jackson's This Is It

This afternoon I decided to watch this movie before it's gone. I enjoyed it so much,watching Michael directed the dancers,the musicians,the sound effect and lighting guys,etc. And his kindness to the crew,I love the way he said that everyone has to do it with love. Now let's review each song rehearsal in this movie and my takes on it: First is "Wanna Be Startin Something". I loved that one. I could feel the rush while I was watching that rehearsal. "Jam" and "Bad" are very good too in the rehearsal department. I love the effect of thousand people in "They Don't Care About Us". Still fawning over "Human Nature",maybe because Matt Giraud sang it on American Idol that I love that song so much. "Smooth Criminal" is classic,loved the classic element of the movie in it and the execution of the story until the end. "The Way You Make Me Feel" is pretty good,and the chemistry between Michael and the girl is perfect but I was slightly bored with that part. Jackson 5's songs are awesome. "I Just Can't Stop Loving You" duet with his back up singers is a perfection. When that singer failed to notice the cue,that's crackin some people up in the theater. "Thriller" is the best set in that rehearsal. I LOVE the graveyard set and the zombie. Their dancing is way more than spectacular. "Beat It" is meh. "Black Or White" is good. "Earth Song" is the 2nd best set me think in this movie,I love the clip of the nature and the girl who enjoys walking in the forest and so on. "Billie Jean" is rad. His dancing is still out of this world. "Man In The Mirror" is damn perfect!!
