One word from myself describing this one is disturbing. What do you expect from the director that create "The Silence of The Lamb" ?, yes, same as I do, I expect him to put the emotion and thrill inside the movie, or at least you get the feeling that you want to know what's going on next, but, no, I didn't get this feeling. And what actually did I got?, a very disturbing behaviour mixed with wicked way to celebrate a wedding, plus hand held camera used on filming. The last factor is successfully give the viewer the "Dizzy" effect, but the first two is what I didn't enjoy the most. Nevertheless, I must give credit to Anne Hathaway that successfully picture, the disturbing behaviour drug addict character, Kym, that tore every good gesture scene into disaster. The marriage celebration is not what I'm expecting since it was quite extreme, consists of folk-kind party with hyper dance, combined with rock, reggae, R&B, blues, jazz, and any kind of music that you know, did not successfully resembles the holy marriage atmosphere that I want to hear, feel and see, definitely not romantic and quite disturbing. Overall, if you want to watch dysfunctional family re-unite with mariagge event and searching to find the lost love and hope can be together again for rest fo their time but fail, yes this is the movie to watch.

Valkyrie - PG-13
|

First, I always like movie based on Nazi history due to their pride, intense and politics. This one is not an exception. Considered this movie as a historical documentary, viewers already know the outcome of this movie before they even see the trailer, however there are still some potential points to make this movie good such as acting, directing, dramatizing plot, cinematography and etc. Bryan Singer and the production team did a good job on several of them such as cinematography and directing, however there’s still something missing on acting and dramatizing the plot. The plot can be explore further or deeper to expand the emotion, and as for acting, I believe the movie could be more intense to give Stauffenberg’s part to actor in Denzel Washington’s caliber rather than Tom Cruise, and also gave Hitler’s part to Bruno Ganz (from the movie “Das Untergang (The Downfall)”), Bruno Ganz is the best actor to play Hitler, hands down. Final say, good movie, but once you watched it, you’ll feel it’s enough for you.

Yes Man - PG-13
|

The reason why I watched this movie is purely because Jim Carrey. I’m not expecting this movie to be the same level of “The Truman Show”, but at least can humour me with the silly acting from the man himself. The truth is, despite of very usual straight story and “not seriously” acting from all casts, I found that this movie is quite amusing. The director didn’t unleashed Jim Carrey to be as funny as he can be, but through the script, he gives Jim appropriate and proper scene to maximize his humour forces. Nevertheless, one of the flaw of this movie was the plot towards the ending. Since more than first half of the movie plot are dedicated to built up the character image and the climax point, the rest of the movie dedicated to rushingly lead down the plot straight to the ending. Viewers will feel the plot is not smooth and the ending is not the best. Overall, it was a better movie of Jim Carrey, where the balance between serious and fun meet.

Quantum of Solace - PG-13
|

Marc Forster really dissapointed me with this one, I almost feel this is not his work, it is nowhere near Finding Neverland and The Kite Runner. I really love the re-boot of 007 series that bring the essence of survival and roughness on Bond character as root of the theme, blended with fight and mind game that weâve seen in recent year Casino Royale, and based on that, I have such a high expectation from Quantum of Solace that at least this movie can maintain the essence that beautifully pioneered by its predecessor. It did not meet that expectation, and I found that Marc has turn Bond movie to be more like a Bourne movie with all the 4 kind of chasing, boat, automobile, foot, plane. You wonât find the mind game in this movie. Despite those particular flaw, Daniel Craig still amazed me with his acting, while other character was so plainly performed, the casts surely can do better, the director surely can be stricter. If you want to watch this movie, please lower down your expectation, you wonât find this one in the same level of the last bond movie, Casino Royale. Hope the producer re-think how to make it better in the next one, as for Marc, I believe he will make a way better movie next time.

Dramatically beautiful movie. I can take a paint as analogy for this movie, since there’s significant contrast and lots of strokes between the emotion and mood on the first half of the movie that totally different with the one in the second half of the movie. The story was fresh and supported by a great script, successfully describing the emotion of love and denial, also give another point of view of ex-Nazi SS members that only following orders and what they feel. The casting was perfect, Kate Winslet perfectly potrait Hanna Schmits, while David Kross was unexpectedly perform very well as the young Michael Berg with his innocently hunger for love and sex, and Ralph Fiennes plays the ending point role as successful lawyer and reader Michael Berg. Kate Winslet acting was very memorable on the court scene which mixing all human emotion within short scene, she deserved her recent oscar winning. Stephen Daldry deserve his oscar nomination which this beautiful directing of his. Overall, one of the best movie in 2008.

Seven Pounds - PG-13

Lots of my friend associated this movie to "The Pursuit of Happyness", and I'm one of the admirers of that movie, so, I finally dedicate some time to watch this one. Better than expected, the story may not be as strong as The Pursuit of Happyness, but definitely directed better and contain far better acting from Will Smith and other casts. Will Smith is the highlight of this movie, since he gives his full capacity as an actor in this movie. When you see it, you may not directly understand what his character trying to do, but if you see it in a bit and pieces in each scene, you will find out that he is surely doing the best that he can and give a lot of passion and feeling to the character. I believe this movie has give the world a proof that Will Smith is not just a regular actor, he??s ready to take challenge in any kind of part. The story is beautifully scripted by Grant Nieporte and properly directed by Gabriele Muccino. Watched it, and I believe you wouldn't regret it.

Slumdog Millionaire - R

I bet many of you watched or want to watch this movie on the basis that people talk about how good it was or the nominations/awards that this movie get in this year movie awards all over the world. Yes, I get that feeling as well, and rushing to watch this movie once I’ve time. Before watching this one, I’ve imagine that the setting and cinematography aren’t far from other Danny Boyle’s legend “Trainspotting” and it is what I actually found indeed. The strength of this movie is the story, which is life survival story combined with love, and dream. The acting was at par, nothing special. However, Danny Boyle make this movie memorable in his direction and with a good touching story and beautiful innocent script in place, it wasn’t hard for him to make this one an impressive movie. Definitely a must watch movie, great contender for this year oscar.

The Wrestler - R

First, this is Darren Aronofsky’s work, and if you remember Requiem for A Dream, he is always consistent to the word, realistic. So is this movie, realistic story, plus realistic setting, plus realistic emotion, plus realistic tragedy, and this is turns out to be a beautiful collaboration in his direction. Great decision to choose Mickey Rourke to play the leading role, it was similar to what his been through, so as expected, Rourke makes the role personal and perform it beautifully. Hope he gets the oscar for this one, although Sean Penn maybe difficult to conquer. Marisa Tomei is one of actress that can bring herself to the edge to add significant feel to the movie by her performance. And yes, in this movie, Marisa is fantastic, she takes the role as if she has been through those situations, and expected oscar nomination finally came to her. The wrestler is one of the movie highly valued in 2008, definitely a memorable movie for myself.

Vicky Cristina Barcelona - PG-13
|

Overall, this is a very enjoyable movie. Although the story is not that strong and considered tasteless, I quite enjoy the setting and acting from all cast. Rebecca Hall and Penelope Cruz are my highlights, while Bardem and Johannson just there to complete them. The script has been the main point of this movie, and I found it very amusing and entertaining, furthermore, it’s also diversified by two languages. Very good movie for family and friends occasion, pay attention to the script and you’ll find what I found. Nice going Woody Allen...
