movie review - LAW ABIDING CITIZEN.

if i said earlier, i've never watch a movie recently, for this holiday i spent my days watching movies. almost every movie i saw. including this one, for me, it's the greatest unexpected movie i've ever seen. it's called, "LAW ABIDING CITIZEN". great movie, with a great casts to play. so, here's my review for the movie.

title: LAW ABIDING CITIZEN.

directed by: f. gary grey.

casts: jamie foxx as nick rice, gerard butler as clyde shelton, etc.

review:

(not a spoiler)

clyde (played by butler), lost his wife and daughter at a very tragic accident. his wife and daughter was murdered by two guys named arnes and darby. while ten years later, nick, the genius engineer made a revenge, but he don't like to be called as 'revenge' to his wife and daughter's death. while, nick, put him away on the jail and make him confess what clyde have done. but aside of that, clyde threaten nick, and make deals between both of them. if nick doesn't clear the deal, then something bad is gonna happen. and that what this movie all about. what can really happen if nick didn't obey him? and how can clyde blew up cars when he's in jail? you have to see it for yourself.

for me, it's a great movie, not a boring movie and of course, recommended much! i wanna watch it again if i can. maybe this is the last movie i saw in 2009. maybe. or, maybe tomorrow sherlock holmes will be out. well, we'll find out about that later.

movie review - AVATAR (in 3D).

it's been a long time since i last saw a movie. and i even forgot what's the last movie i watched. oh well. so, yesterday, i watched this movie called 'AVATAR'. the one that keeps everyone talking about, and people said it was worth to watch. then, i'll write what i want to say about this movie.

title: AVATAR.

directed by: james cameron.

casts: sam worthington as jake sully, zoe saldana as neytiri, sigourney weaver as grace austine, etc.

review:

(not a spoiler)

the movie took place in pandora, the land of the origins creature called Na'vi. those from earth finds it odds to live with them. because they have their own language and living life things. jake (played by worthington), after he lost his brother in war, decided to take his late brother mission. even though he's paraplegic, (simply, can't walk because his leg lost its function). the purpose he goes to this mission is to get more information about the Na'vi's woodland. for that mission, jake got a new identity called 'avatar' to able him to communicate with the Na'vi. and the story change after he met neytiri (played by saldana). wanna see the rest for yourself? go watch it!

well, for me, the greatest thing about this movie is the 3D effects. for the story, not so much. it's three hours straight and i'm bored to hell. the story lost and found its climax, so it's so hard for me to enjoy the rest of the movie. although, it's interesting, how the avatar's hair can connect to almost everything and controls them. i wish i can do that. haha. but, overall, it's james cameron's movie anyway. it turned out very great. and i'd like to give 9,5 for the graphic, and 7 for the story. i can't say 10, because nothing's prefect in this life right? :)

movie review - THIS IS IT.

three words, KING OF POP! michael jackson was an amazing person, also very inspiring. he inspired all the dancers around the world. who didn't know about him? and we all know that he already passed away on the 25th of june 2009, but he surely still lives among us. as an entertainer in this world.

at first, he made an announcement that he will have a concert in london on june, if i'm not mistaken, or july, i don't remember anyway, but, he passed away and this movie is all about the rehearsal that he was doing before the concert. this is the preparation that caught on camera, thanks to all the camera crew, they can bring us into the stage (when i saw this movie, i felt like i'm in the audience) we could feel how great he was. and the most important thing is, he was 50 years old when he rehearsed. but he surely know how to did the right moves. i think this is a present from him, his last performance for all of us, well, THIS IS IT.

i really don't know what to reviewed, because this is a documentary movie and you have to watch it if you want it. but i recommended this movie, if you like michael jackson. and until now, i still can't believe he's gone forever.

long live the KING OF POP.

RIP MICHAEL JOSEPH JACKSON (29 AUGUST 1958 - 25 JUNE 2009)

movie review - BANLIEUE 13 ULTIMATUM/DISTRICT 13 ULTIMATUM.

at first, i wanna watch 'this is it', michael jackson's movie, but, after a long thinking and i have to move from one mall to another, so me and my bf decided to watch this movie called 'district 13 ultimatum' (D13 U). the film is notable for its depiction of 'parkour' in a number of stunt sequences that were completed without the use of w

ires or computer effects. it's a french movie and if somehow you realize, or even had watch this movie, yes, it is the sequel of the 'district 13' movie. but i never watch the first sequel, so, it's a little bit confusing at first, but after you watch it carefully, you'll know the story.

title: 'BANLIEUE 13 ULTIMATUM/DISTRICT 13 ULTIMATUM'

directed by: patrick alessandrin.

casts: cyril raffaelli as damien tomaso, david belle as leito and other casts.

review:

(not a spoiler)

it happens in 2013, in france, district 13, they call it B13 in the movie. in B13 lives several race of people in there. for example, the chinese, moslem, negro, etc. and they lived under they own race. earlier,

3 years ago, the government made a promise to fix B13 into more 'human' to live on. but, whatreally happens is it never came true. and for worst, B13 is going to be demolished by the government. so, to save the B13, leito and damien have to do something about it. see what happens

for yourself.

it is a great movie, again, it doesn't matter whether you watch the first movie or not. but i must

tell you, look out for the first scene, at the beginning of this movie. and then, enjoy the show! :)

movie review - GHOST OF GIRLFRIENDS PAST.

i think this movie will not being showed in my country. well, i don't know, but i'm pretty sure this movie is out on may 2009 in USA. so, i decided to bought the dvd instead of waiting for this to show in indonesia.

title: 'GHOST OF GIRLFRIENDS PAST'

directed by: mark waters.

casts: matthew mcconaughey, jennifer garner, michael douglas, etc.

review:

(not a spoiler)

Connor Mead, a successful photographer and a playboy goes to his younger brother's wedding, to convince him not to get marry. he arrives at his dead uncle's estate during the rehearsal wedding, and he met Jenny Perotti, his childhood friend. and then, he starts trashing out the wedding, later on in the men's room, his uncle, who taught him everything about women, appears to him as a ghost. and he confesses that he was wrong. his uncle told him that Connor will visited by three ghosts that night. the ghost of a girlfriends past, present and future. can he learn anything from his life and fix what he's broken? you have to saw it for yourself.

it is quite a boring story at the start, but once you find the story is catchy, and yet very romantic in the end, you'll not regret it. i never expected that a guy like Connor, can be a very romantic person after all. well, everyone have their own romantic side, but how they show it, that's the greatest part. :)

movie review - INGLOURIOUS BASTERDS.

i never quite catch a movie recently, i even forgot the last movie i watched. hmmm. i guess it's 'the ugly truth'. or else? oh well, moving on then. so, today i watched 'inglourious basterds' a movie by quentin tarantino the master of this kind of movie. and here's my review about that movie.

(brad pitt as Lt. Aldo Raine)

title: 'INGLOURIOUS BASTERDS' (they using 'inglourious' instead of 'inglorious' - the right spelling and of course, the 'basterds' too.)

directed by: quentin tarantino.

cast: brad pitt (who would refuse to watch this guy movies?!) and other casts that i'm not familiar with.

review:

(not a spoiler)

this film is taking place on paris, france on the year of NAZI's leading the france. it was Hitler, Goering, Gobbles and Bormann era. most of all in the movie, the year of the story was on 1944 if i'm not mistaken. so, this Lt. Aldo Raine (brad pitt) leads a group called 'inglourious basterds' where the group has one mission, is to kill all of the NAZI in france. as well as a girl named Shosanna, who is seeks for a revenge because her family is being killed by this NAZI Colonel that killed all the jewish people named Hans Landa. they both have the same mission and will it be a success? well, i'm not going to spoiled it over here. you have to watch it by yourself. this movie for me, maybe the best movie of 2009 so far. besides 'benjamin button' and others. but i have to admit it, brad pitt is the best person to portray Lt. Aldo Raine. this three hours movie didn't make me fell asleep, because of the story and the character on it. seriously guys, you'll not regret this movie. ever!

i want to watch it again if i can. :)

even though it's full of violence and cruelty, but that's what happens is the real era right? and this is a made up story anyway. and quentin tarantino made it. what else can you expect except that he always make a masterpiece! hands down!

so, i HIGHLY RECOMMENDED to watch it. with whoever it is, but don't forget to go to the bathroom before you watch it. :p three hours is long enough to hold back to your urine. haha.
