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.

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!!

Movie Review : Solstice

This afternoon,my high school friends asked me to watch this movie with them. I thought ehh I know nothing about this movie and it looks like a crap movie. If it's big budget horror movie,I should've known about this movie but the fact is I wasn't.

The story in this movie begins with Megan who lost Sophie,her twin sister,due to suicide. She and her friends travel to the lake house to celebrate summer solstice. At the lake house,she's constantly being harassed by some spirit,which Megan believes is Sophie. She believes that Sophie guide her to something,and she wants to find out what it is. A local handsome guy who works at the shop on the gas station,complicates her relationship with her friends,because he tells a story about superstition and the way to channel the spirit.

I'd say that this movie isn't bad after all. There are some scenes which can suprise you (me not so much). I love the setting on this movie,it brings back an atmosphere of good horror movie from the past decade. The cast has some familiar actor/actresses like Shawn Ashmore who played Ice-man in X-Men,Hilarie Burton who played Peyton in One Tree Hill tv series,and Amanda Seyfriend who acted in Mean Girls and Mama-mia. I get it now why this movie has been in my city for quite some time,it's pretty good and it's a breath of fresh air,because the other movies are Indonesian super shit quality movies and some unknown Hollywood movies.

ps: why this 2008 horror movie came out right now in here is beyond me.

Movie Review : Final Destination 4

I didn't know that Final Destination series still continue,anyway because it's 3D,my friend asked me to watch this movie with him. So we went to the best movie theather in here (which's the only one to play this 3D movie in this city) and got our 3D glasses. It made my glasses heavier,it's like when you go to the optic store to change your glasses and they check your eye minuses with some device,it's as heavy as that device.

The story plot has the exact same story plot like every other FD series,the main actor gets premonition about his death and every person around him. It's neat that 3D makes you see the distance between every person and the background,it's as if you watch the actor from a window. Really cool!! This movie is centered around the catastrophe in a car race,and their eventual death one by one. Bobby Campo plays his character pretty good I think,and the girls too. While Nick Zano is pretty much failed at his acting,or maybe I'm just turned off by his douche bag behaviour. LOL

The gruesome scenes in this movie isn't as bad as other FD,like FD2. I think FD2 is the best from the FD series. I was pretty much enjoying the 3D features from this movie,nothing else. Besides,I'm a horror fans and nothing from this movie upset my stomach. I can find nastier horror films like Hostel series,etc.

My overall opinion is neither here nor there. It's not bad, and it's not great either. If you want an entertainment,you'll get it. But it's pretty much predictable movie.

Movie Review : District 9

Because of the name Peter Jackson and all rave reviews of this movie,I decided to watch it on August 23rd. Never in my life I've watched movies in a day and the next day.

Well,I was surprised too by this movie. Quite different than my expectation. I expected a lot of sci-fi storyline in it but it has lot of action and unique plot in it. A great job indeed for the first time director and first time actor in this movie,very convincing.

The good thing about this movie was I didn't fall asleep. LOL. With the fatique of organizing my stuff at my new house and driving back and forth to old house (my PC was still there,the internet too,at least I could connect for 1-2 hours),I'm amazed that this movie captured my attention.

I don't have anything more to say but for all of you who love action movie,FPS game,shooting,gun,military,etc.You should watch this brilliant movie.

Movie Review : Watchmen

I've just moved from my old house to a new house. That's why I haven't been online for long time,because it took forever to install the internet in this house. Btw I watched this movie on August 22nd,I hope I still remember that time LOL.

Oh Indonesia's movie theater,why it took this long to release Watchmen in my city. I already lost hope but I was excited that at last this movie was being released in here. I don't know this comic book,it's just my habit that I watch all superheroes movies on the movie theater,just to get the feeling of it. I only knew that this movie is centered around Nixon's era and that year in the US.

The graphic of this movie is outstanding,I was mesmerized but the story is sleep-inducing. This is the first time that I fell asleep inside the theater,it's so hard to open my eyes because the story is difficult to understand at many parts and (I just know) that this movie doesn't cater to general mainstream audiences,it stays true to the comic book's storyline. While I applaud the director's decision but I was so upset that I didn't enjoy this movie.

There was one kid beside me,his father had to put his hands in front of this kid everytime a nude scene or a sex scene appears. LMAO. It surprised me too,this movie is full of raunchy scenes. It's so explicitly violence too,on that front,I loved it!!

Too bad most of the movie's storyline is blur to me,it just captured my attention near the end where it has a lot of action.Overall,I was disappointed but I love some of the groundbreaking elements from this movie such as the graphic and the violence.

Kris Allen's Summer Memory

Twist Magazine Interview.I know what he's talking about,it's when he took a day off at Florida.

Movie Review : G.I. Joe : The Rise of Cobra

At last one of the movie which I've been waiting for has came out. The first time I knew about this movie was back then when I was reading a local movie magazine,there was Snake Eyes's picture on it,it was so cool,I was so ecstatic waiting for this movie.

After I've seen the trailer,it wasn't as good as I expected it to be because it's too modernistic. I know that the critics trashed this movie while some people like it after they saw it. Today,I decided to watch it and I'd say that I'm impressed with this movie.

Yes,it's too modernistic and doesn't look like the exact G.I. Joe comic since I believe they want to cater to international audiences. The weapons and vehicles are super cool!! I love it,it's not over the top. I think it's very well suited in this era. The action is top notch although I felt drowsy after seeing too much explosion and needless special effects.

The bad thing I noticed was the cheesiness in some part like what the hell Karolina Kurkova's doing there. Her death is like a scene from bad amateur film. One more scene that I think is too cheesy and weird (in the earlier part of the movie) but I forgot (damn it!!). Well,the ending is good given that it's preparing the plot for the next movie.

What I don't understand is why Baroness is joining Duke in the end? Since when Baroness joins the good guy? I don't think it's ever happened in the comic. Storm Shadow is too stiff. Snake Eyes's lips on his mask is bothering me,they should've scrapped that and make it like in the comic. It's too weird having that lips,it's like some creepy buff statue. Eekk!! Zartan is too much like ordinary person. Where's his costume? What Brendan Fraser is doing there?? Weird indeed!!

I'd applaud Joseph Gordon-Levitt for his spectacular and convincing performance. And Marlon Wayans doesn't do a bad job either,he doesn't appear as cheesy as I'm afraid him to be. Plus his buff body and Channing Tatum definitely make many people interested to watch this movie. Heck,so many of my friends don't know what G.I. Joe is and yet they're still going to the movie. Maybe because it's blockbuster movie or Sienna Miller/Channing Tatum's factor in it.

Can't wait for the next one.

Movie Review : Up

After rave review from everybody in the US and my friends in here,I decided to watch this movie tonight. I enjoy the short film Partly Cloudy very much,I think it's a spectacular short film. Now,I'll dive right into this movie and what messages this movie has to everybody:

- You should follow your dreams (after Ellie passed away,Carl decides to pursue their lifelong dream which is to move their house to Paradise Falls)
- After you reached your goals,usually you're eager to reach for another goals (Ellie's note to Carl that he has to make his own new journey)
- It's time to stop the greediness from big businesses (Carl's house being surrounded by construction site and disturbance from the developer because he refuses to sell his house). I've had enough of the money hungry pattern in this world,life is not about money money money,it's about giving,love and experience.
- A journey some people willing to take in order to maintain their high image or status (Charles Muntz's perseverence to get the bird). He's definitely lost himself because of that and many people fall into a trap like that,well including me too.
- Pure soul from children. Carl definitely learns a lot from Russell,I don't think he see himself in that kid but after a while,he can see little bit resemblance of his old self in that boy. When children become adult,usually they lost their essence and being suck into this zombie world,9 to 5 job,never ending,and all that bullshit that adult tell their children. A pure heart which makes a children,unfortunately disappear in many cases,when they're getting older. Sigh.

I think that's a few points I took from this movie,I didn't exactly get the undertone message which many people said,well maybe I already applied that in my life. I don't think everyone gets the exact same message from this movie since we all have different point of view,mindset,etc so I'd think we learn different life lessons if we compare the notes. Feel free to discuss about this movie though.

Btw this movie is exactly above my expectation but I prefer Wall-E way more,dunno why. And forgive my rambling in this post because I was so tired when I watched this movie. LOL

Movie Review : Harry Potter and The Half-Blood Prince

Let me say first that I'm so late watching this movie because almost all of my friends have watched it and I just got the ticket today (and the theater is still jam packed with people,almost sold out until the night). Going to this movie,I already heard some comments from my friends and people around the internet so maybe my review is slight bit influenced because of that.

I had read the book before I watched this movie and this time I finished it few weeks before the movie premiered and I still got time to watch previous Harry Potter movies and read again Harry Potter and The Order of Phoenix's book,in order for me to remember again some important details about everything.I tried to prevent myself from watching so many trailer because I didn't want to know so much about the movie before I saw it myself,but I thought this movie must've been fantastic after I saw some movie scenes from the trailer.The book isn't that thick and the duration of the film is longer than the 5th movie,I thought this movie might have all important scenes in it without major cut. Unfortunately,I'm wrong again.

The movie starts with a bang but forget to set up important foundation for the rest of the film. Harry isn't at the Dursley family like in the book,but he's in some cafe in the subway while at the same time Dumbledore arrives there (how the heck people don't notice his weird attire) and brings him to Slughorn's house to invite him to teach again at the Hogwarts. The film doesn't tell us why Prof.Slughorn finally decides to return again to Hogwarts (although they tell us that he's interested in teaching Harry). Very weird,since Slughorn tells Dumbledore before, that he won't be easily seduced to return to the school.

The rest of the film is very jarring and rush like before in some part,I know that the love story between some of the characters are very good (albeit very cheesy) but the rest of it like emotional connection between Dumbledore and Harry isn't there and Malfoy's plan is way too obvious early in the film. The lack of action in the end of the film doesn't help either. They add The Burrow's attack (useless in my opinion) and sacrifice the battle in the end (there's none). Thus making the movie end on a very bad note. I didn't have any emotion in the end,the director fails in conveying the close relationship between Harry and Dumbledore like in the book. To make things worse,my younger brother thinks Dumbledore is faking his death because it looks like that in the movie (the emotion is not there),where is the funeral,I don't feel the closeness that Harry has with Dumbledore. In the movie,Dumbledore is like just a very kind headmaster/mentor/teacher to Harry,definitely not like a father figure or guardian or a very loved ones.

The logic in some scenes from the film aren't there too. Why Hermione still insists that Malfoy isn't joining the Death Eaters after seeing him in the Borgin and Burkes with some Death Eaters? Why Mr Weasley doesn't take action knowing there are two Vanishing Cabinets? He should've known that because of that,the Hogwarts is penetrable. Why Tonks suddenly has relationship with Lupin without any explanation?

I'm wondering where's Prof.Trelawney (she has very important roles. Goddamnit!!) . Where are Dobby and Kreacher? Why the film doesn't discuss about OWL's grade that the characters got? Where's Marvolo Gaunt? Where's Morfin Gaunt? Where's Merope Gaunt? Why their story is missing from the movie,although it's so important. David Yates already disappointed me big times back to back with 5th and 6th movies,I still have hope that he'll make it up in the last two movies,I hope he'll slow down and not rush the scenes. Give a breathing space to the script so that the story is makes sense and not sporadically non sense. Put more time in relationship between the teachers and the students like in the earlier installments. And I expect super hella battle ahead. I don't find this movie boring but somber with bad finish in the end. I think I accept this movie's disaster very well,concerning I abhor the 5th movies so much but overall the movie is like sex without orgasm (everything is nice but not satisfying in the end) or eating so much food without drinking (again,not satisfying experience although it's good). I think I'm gonna read the 7th book soon and finger crossed for the last two films.

Added: small rant,I'm tired of the nearest mall in here,Galaxy Mall. When I watched the movie,the sound was so bad,many times it's dwindling into small voice like what you get in small TV (not Surround Sound THX like theater),it's up and down all the way until the end. Sigh. I guess I have to go to the mall in downtown to watch upcoming movies.

Transformers:Revenge of The Fallen Movie Review

Decepticons are back!! Two years after the first movie,Sam is now moving to college's dorm and starts his first year there. Before that he finds a piece of Allspark in his bedroom which sparks the beginning of witch hunt by all Decepticons to retrieve that thing. To make things worse,Megatron is resurrected by his followeres. And something big called The Fallen will rise. This movie will have so many Autobots and Decepticons that will make you confuse noticing each robots. I'm having hard time when I watched this movie,distinguishing which robots belong to which group. Almost all robots have silver or grey color in their body. Geez.

What I like about this movie is the action packed fight in it. I bet all that fight scenes and so many massive robots's movement were the one that cause this film to raise its budget. Well,it's worth it. I don't know how can they make all the graphics look that good. When I was a child I knew Transformers but I've never watched it but this movie makes me a big fan. I suggest the director for the next movie,to add more robots to the movie. I heard they gonna put Dinobots in it. Well,hell yes!! That'd be so damn interesting.

The plot and storyline in this movie is so well produced. We can enjoy Sam's transition to the college life. Meeting his roommate,college party,etc. And I love his parents,they're so cool. While Mikaela (Megan Foxx) is so freaking sexy. She flaunts her assets in every scene,it almost made me laugh.

The relationship between Autobots and Sam is two thumbs up. They put much more emotional connection in it. The humor in this movie isn't over the top. There's a former Decepticon,who now on the Autobots team,Jetfire who's very old and funny.

The setting in the latter part of the movie,which is Egypt,makes everything else better. It's the perfect place for the ancient times's history and the treasure that everyone else are fighting for to get. Btw I slightly wonder when I can watch a movie with Decepticon vs Islamic radical terrorists in it. That'd be fantastic. LOL

Oscar's next year Best Picture Nominees are going to expand to 10 films

The best-picture lineup at the Academy Awards is doubling from five films to 10, a move organizers said Wednesday will open the field to more worthy movies and possibly boost the ceremony's TV ratings.

Among last year's most acclaimed movies was the Batman blockbuster "The Dark Knight," which wound up snubbed. Another was "WALL-E," which won the Oscar for feature-length animation but was not among best-picture nominees.

It will be cuthroat competition indeed. I can't wait for that.

Jesse McCartney Will Write For David Archuleta's Sophomore Album

As you’ve mentioned, you write songs for other artists. In the fall of 2007, you and Ryan from OneRepublic co-wrote the song, “Bleeding Love,” for singer Leona Lewis. Apparently, that gave you a bit more writing credibility. The song became a huge hit and you had people like Simon Cowell and Jordan Sparks asking you to help write songs for them. How did that make you feel?

Jesse: It feels amazing! Like you said, as far as credibility it definitely brings you up. I think people appreciate when a singer sings a song and find out that they wrote it and it brings it to a whole other level. Because of “Bleeding Love” it’s definitely opened a door as far as a writer goes. Jive Records just reached out to me last week and they want me to write for David Archuleta’s new album. I’ve been writing with Toni Braxton and Leighton Meester (from Gossip Girl) who’s been working on a record. It’s opened a lot of people’s eyes in the industry, too. It’s definitely a great feeling to be recognized and to be asked to work with their artists.

I love Jesse McCartney but I'm not diggin' his latest album. I prefer his previous albums. Well,maybe because of my pop music taste.

Snuggie Infomercial
