Movie Review : Love and Other Drugs (2010)

By the sound of the title you could tell that the story gonna be surround with drugs. But don't worry it's not gonna be like Jhonny Depp "Blow" or any other movie that connect with illegal drugs. Actually the story is about a guy, Jamie played by Jake Gyllenhal, that really good with talking, he can get people to buy the things that he sell and the most important is to get girl's phone number and get laid. That's the thing that he really believe he good at, nothing more. Until one day he got a chance to become a pharmaceutical sales (here is where the drug came in) and he trying really hard to sell them when he met this beautiful, free spirit, and having stage one parkinson's young lady name maggie (just like Jake's real life sister name) played by Anne Hathaway. They met, they feel connection, in bed department, at first then after a while doing it the real drugs kicking in which is Love and then things getting hard from there.
Actually there's two things that getting hard in here. The first is Jamie staring to selling viagra, the famous drug for male performance (in these case you know what I mean with getting hard right?) and became rich because of it. Then the second thing that hard is their relationship, the more their open up about themselve the more vulnerable they became because these two messed up kids never know anything about real feeling. So yeah pretty much that's what I can tell about "Love and Other Drugs"

Now to the real review. This movie has been nominated in 2 Golden Globe award for the most daring performance by Anne Hathaway and the most sexy performance (the one in brokeback mountain really doesn't count) by Jake Gyllenhal. These two actors really go total on this movie. They just cut their nerve then go naked in front of each other in many scene. Dude, I mean I even can't believe that Anne Hathaway want to do this kind of scene. So, no doubt on the acting part because Golden Globe already porve it.

I know sometimes is hard to see pass to the main story when there's just so many, I mean alot of sex, nudity, PG-13 scenes flowing around the movie. I know, it's kinda spoiler that I write about that but I just can't believe it, so just consider this as a warning (yeah right? I think people more exciting to watch this movie after reading this) then luckily I can get my focus back to the story. The flow is really slow and fun. You will see two people who at first just wanna have fun then caught up with their own feeling.  The feeling to be needed and need somebody beside you, that they just to scare to face it. 

So overall I'm gonna rate this movie : 4 stars out of 5. The story is fun wiht deeper meaning, jake and anne really good with their acting and THE scene, you should watch it by yourself.

the 83rd Academy Awards Winner Prediction

6 more days to the most waited event on movie industries. It's the 83rd Academy Awards!!! If you already see the nomination you will see there's been a change in Best Picture category, they added 5 more movies which I think it's kinda greedy. Movies need to win, not just nominated. Ah anyway this time hopefully my prediction is getting more accurate cause I've already watched most of the movie that been nominated so I hope my judgement also right. Let's just get this think started shall we...

Actor in a Leading Role :

Colin Firth in "The King's Speech"
He already win in many awards because of his role in this movie so I guest no doubt everybody pick him to be the winner.

Actor in a Supporting Role :

Jeremy Renner in "The Town"
I know I predict him as winner in this category at the Golden Globe before and wrong, but I still believe in him. So Jeremy I predict that you could win this time!

Actress in a Leading Role :

Natalie Portman in "Black Swan"
Maaaaannnn there's no doubt she will win this award! that pregnance bring her a lot of luck!

Actress in a Supporting Role :

Melissa Leo in "The Fighter"
as much as I want Helena Bonham Carter and Hailee Steinfeld to win but Melissa has the bigger chance and I admited that her act is really good. But if Academy Award like something different maybe they would pick Hailee as the winner, that teenage girl will be living in teenage dream if she win.

Directing :

"Black Swan" Darrren Aronofsly
Dont worry man, eventhough you're lose in so many awards but my high hope still with you, I really loves black swan. But there's big chance that he will lost to David Fincher.

Best Picture :

"Black Swan” Mike Medavoy, Brian Oliver and Scott Franklin, Producers"
actually this is a tough choice cos there's a lot of great movie in this nomination. I really love to see "True Grit" or "127 hours" winning but my prayer are still the same, which is Black Swan come out as the winner of the best movie of the year! I'm so boycotting facebook if "The Social Network" win again.

There's all the prediction that I can make. Hopefully they all correct and I know some of my choice are based on my favourite but still I believe they deserve to win. So let's wait and see on the 28th of February which is monday morning here, you can watch it on Star Movies

Movie Review : The Green Hornet (2011)

First I really have to say this, YOU DON'T HAVE TO WATCH IT ON 3D! really waste of money. I don't, and I can tell there's no big differens in it anyway so better save your money to buy a popcorn or nachos. For you who didn't know the story yet, you just go to youtube and watch the trailer because after watching it maybe you probably could sum up the story cause yeah pretty much there already. 

For me personally the story is really shallow. It's about a spoiled heir who shock by the death of his father then team up with his late dad's driving who made a great coffee and awesome gadget, but without  heroic reason. Then yada yada yada they fight the bad guy then win. Now the different is they do it in style, with a lot of sillyness, great fighting scenes, cool cars, and Jay Chou. All of that maybe could fill the whole for that lack of thrill in the story.

The actors, yeah let's talk about that. The only name that really got me interest about this movie is Jay Chou. It's his first movie in Hollywood and he even can't talk in english but he could manage it and pretty good accent that he made. He also don't have basic martial art eventhough he's from asia but because he can dance so that really help I think. But it just so cool to see Jay Chou in hollywood and I really wish to see him more rather then "My name is Wein (Rain)". For Seth Rogen this kinda movie is pretty much his area expertise but plus the action and for being silly, he still good at it. The best cameo is from James Franco! love his appearances.

So overall I'm gonna give this movie 3,5 stars out of 5. 0,5 because of James Franco and the other 3 is for Jay Chou acting, their really really cool cars and the sillyness.
