Movie Review : X-Men First Class (2011)

I never feel this glad after watching a movie like I feel after I watch this movie. Since the first day they annouce the cast ensemble I always follow their updates until one day come the trailer. It really blows my mind! I thought this movie gonna be sooooo cccoooolllll. So patiently I wait for this movie to come out. Then come the bad news! It will not be played in this dull country. So day after day while waiting for the situation to change (which is not until this day and anytime soon I think) to satisfy my curiosity about this X-men latest series, I watched the trailer over and over again until finally I found my way out to watch this movie, and it happen today!!! Just sooo happy, finally!

Yeah so that a quick story about my strong desire to watch this movie, I think that's enough so let's get to the game.

X-Men First Class basicly it's about the history of professor X and Magneto. How they first a brother then became an arch enemy and story how the form a gang full of incredible mutan. It's really informative for us X-men lovers. I really like how the picture the friendship between charles xavier and erik lehnsherr that actually they not hate each other, they just agree to disagree that they want different things for mutans. And the relationship between charles and raven is actually really good. It's funny how people that charles consider as his family are actually the one that differences with him. I really like the storyline of this movie.

For the acting, James McAvoy is perfect. He can capture the naivity of young professor x that being mutan is great but it's because he can easily hide his ability and still feels that he's normal. And Michael Fassbender really picture the sorrow and bitterness that form him to become this very dangerous mutan that can't be control even by professor x. There also three young actors that really attract my attention.

First is Jennifer Lawrance (of course) the most talked actress of this year after being

nominated in oscar, she got pick as leading actress in "The Hunger Games".

Her acting as the young mystique that looking for her identity is amaizing. The second

is Nicholas Hoult as Hank McCoy the genius inventor that turn into Beast. His growth

from a little boy in "About a boy" to the famous need-parental-guide teens tv series

"Skins" and the last is in this movie are absolutly stunning. Then the last is none other

than January Jones, the golden globe nominator but I'm not here to talk about her acting

in this movie cos obviously good, not great but good enough. She made a headline

before the opening of X-men not because her acting skill is because her pregnancy

news that rumored the father of that baby is the director himselve Mattew Vaughn.

Wow this girl really know how to promote her movie huh. But anyway enough with

the gossip.

Now the conclution is this movie, X-Men First Class is THE BEST x-men series ever!

I give them 5 stars out of 5. You X-men lovers out there should really check this movie

out! Cos beside you can know the history, you also can see Hugh Jackman and Rebbeca

Romijn as cameo in here.

Movie Review : Never Say Never (2011)

Bieber Fever! It's an epidemic that's been going on in teens all over the world since last year. It happen like in the movie 'The Ring' but without the haunting and killing part of course. You watch a video about this talented (I have to admitted he is) boy, Justin Bieber, who sing cover song then you share it to your friends then she / he share it again to her / his friends and so on, just like being pictured in the opening scene of movie called 'Never Say Never'

Just take a look of that cute little boy, with that face of course he can hypnotoze a million girls around the world! But dont worry, I'm not catching that fever, just because I watch this movie. Not before or even after watching it. 

So basicly this movie is about series of footage of Justin Bieber, from he was just a kid from Canada who likes to post a video of his performance until he's famous like now and also his concert in Madison Square Garden last year. It's just like watching E! true hollywood story but longer duration. 

But I can say that this kid is something. He got everything to be a superstar and could be bigger years to come just dont do anything stupid. So I will give this movie 3 stars out of 5 and here's some warning for you, maybe just MAYBE after you watch this movie you will grow a little love for him cos I can see that  starting to happen to my sister.

Movie Review : I Am Number Four (2011)

This is the number two movie that I get illegaly from... So glad I get it because if I have to wait on theater that wouldn't happen, guarantee 100%. It's not like I wanted to watch this movie so much but it's nice to have a new movie to watch.

'I Am Number Four' is almost like superman. It's an alien who come to earth because their home planet is being destroyed by another freaky not good looking aliens. The different is they come in grup, there's 9 of them and to killed them, they have to do it orderly. The movie started when it's time for the number four alien to be killed but wait, he's not just an ordinary alien (of course he's not!) he's the alien who got more power that the others, the special one because it wouldn't be fun if he goes down without a fight. And also he got girl to protected, his love ones and bla...bla..bla... you probably know how is it. Just watch the trailer you will get the story.

But what makes me wanna watch the movie is first because Dianna Agron is in it. I'm a glee fans so of course I wanna know how is her act outside from glee. Second because it seems that there's a good action - fighting scene it in and there is. My favourite is when Alien Number Six came and show off what she can do, is totally awesome cos she's a girl and totally stealing the spot light from number four. Number Six is played by Teresa Palmer, the girl who in a flash looks like Kirsten Steward. 

I give this movie 3 stars out of 5 because it's just a teen drama movie with alien power but D.J. Caruso could make it look good and interesting but not with the story, just too predictable. But if you're a fans of the novel you should totally check it out.

Movie Review : Waiting For Superman (2010)

FINALLY! I watched a decent movie, all thanks to some illegal source that I better not mention but if you lived in Indonesia you probably know what it is. And for this special honour goes to documentary movie that's being talked of early this year. From the director of 'An Inconvenient Truth' he present 'Waiting For Superman'

'Waiting For Superman' is not a movie about the glory of Superman (cos somepeople might think like that). This movie is about the educational system in America but not about how good it is, because as all we know America is one of the superpower country in the world and we practicaly think that they're good because they've been taught that way. But actually not! In this movie you see with you're own eyes how bad it is. The Teachers, the schoold building, and the worst is the system, their educational system. It's just so complicated that in the end American students didn't get the education that they deserve and only few bunch of them made it and graduated from 4 years college. 

So David Guggenheim filmed 5 students that have a big hope for their future but being thwarted by this crooked system and a bad teachers. They all go to public school that basicly isn't good enough and the only solution so they could have their dream of becoming something they they to move to a better school, a school with hundreds applicants but only few will be accepted so they draw a lottery. SO BASICLY THEY HANG THESE KIDS FUTURE ON A ROLL OF DICE or a ball in this case.

As a teacher, my heart just break apart after watching this movie. To know dreams from alot of kids could died because of those kind of teachers and system when actually it could be reach so easily. I know Indonesia's educational system maybe even worst then they are because we are a third world country after all but to know on such a superpower country like that, these problem isn't solved for many years are just sad, it's like we're being fooled to be that great people come from America,we have to be like that country to have a better life when actually it's not. Education is important, it's the key of better future and better life.

I rated this movie 5 stars out of 5 because the content very informative and educative. Should totally watch this movie, especially educators out there. This movie is like a give to us.

Low Season or Dead Season in Indonesia

So it's been almost 2 months I didn't write any review. It's not like I'm not go to the cinema and watch some new movie, it's all because the stupidity of Indonesian goverment. They stoped all the hollywood movie to came in. OMG! we already a third world country and plus this crappy stuff?!

Honestly I'm dying in here, with soon summer will come which mean all the blockbuster movie will be out soon and I can't watch it, not even in pirated dvd. Please God help us soon and bring new movie, a lot of it.

Oh and BTW if I write a review about movie it's probably because I found another way to watch movie beside in out crappy cinema.

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
