My Favorite Movies

jean reno and natalie peformance chemistry is a joy to behold, definitely the best on-screen couples ever on the cinematic history,.add in amazing performance(as always)by gary oldman psycothic corrupt police.Brilliant!

hilariously funny.RDJ is THE man. Forget iron man,forget tropic thunder,and even forget the next sherlock holmes.this is a movie tailor made for him

it's simplicity makes this PERFECT !

part kill bill,part leon:the professional,.A BITTERSWEET LIFE is another greatness from kim jee woon,.now official to becoming one of my favorite director.he really can turn a well established genre (horror with A TALE OF TWO SISTERS,and now gangster),into something entirely different and highly poetic.a must see,and definitely better than OLDBOY in my opinion

the greatest indonesian movies to date,.very different and so lynch-ian.Joko Anwar is really the future of indonesian film industry.

and the last 20 minutes? mind blowing!

JSA is a perfect examples of how didn't meet the expectation doesn't always comes as a bad thing.judging by the poster and the trailer,i expect this to be a great political war thriller brought by Park chan-wook,the master of that kind of movie.the fact is,this is not a thriller(althought there are some thrilling moments).what JSA truly are is a wonderful story of friendship and pain of guilt.brillilant!

just watching the little girl in red dress makes me shivering

best from scorsese so far !

a very unique movie, in which the story told from the end.a true gem for the world of cinema !

the greatest trick this movie ever pulled was to convince the audience that....
this movie was BRILLIANT!! and it is true in my eyes

a pinnacle of asian cinema in my opinion. a legendary tale of good vs bad and the morality surrounding it. and this movie makes me regarded tony leung as one of the best actor in the world

mind blowing.that's describe it all

gaaaaaaaaaak adaaaaaaaa yg ngalahiin. paraaaah seremnya!

snyder brings 'faithful' adaptation to the next level..all the detail is perfect

the best action movie. EVER

less action from than the first one. but the story in vol 2 is more compelling, and the last showdown, although not as expected, but still great

sedih dan menyentuh

will ferrel bisa akting juga ternyata,dan itu dilakuin tanpa ninggalin kekonyolannya..
ceritanya juga unik

a comedy that is still funny and relevant more than 40 years after its release is definitely a classic

in the past,if someone asked me which is the best Godfather film, without a doubt i'm gonna answer the first one,.but if the same question ask to me again this time,.i really don't have the answer.,both are perfect film that are really diferrent ,and to compare it is something almost impossible,.that dinner scene is definitely one of the best in the history of cinema

PERFECTO BRILLIANTE !!

THE FOUNTAIN to me is a 2001: A SPACE ODYSSEY for this millenium. It is visually stunning,and, makes me try to think the meaning of the film,by the end credit.Yes,it is a kind of movie that is gonna create a discussion after you watched it.many will hate it,but definitely,there are some that gonna love it,and i'm fall into the latter category.Pure Beauty...

the first time i've saw MUNICH, i didn't capture all of the elements of the movie.The second time i've watched it, i realize, THIS IS A MASTERPIECE ! Spielberg's most personal film since SCHINDLER'S LIST is working on so many levels. it is enthralling,it is moving, its narratively perfect, it gives us something to think about,its just simply brilliant. so for those of you who didn't capture it's greatness on the first time(like i did) just watch it again,i guarantee the result is different

simply powerful ! especially that last line,really gave me chills and tears..

it didn't even occured in my mind that the movie that makes me cries the most is an action movies brought by the king of cheesiness michael bay

sorry leone and eastwood fans, but i think this is the ultimate western movies !

Nia Dinata perfectly bring the tough subject matter (poligamy) into interesting story

aronofsky,and all of the cast (especially mickey rourke,in a definite classic performance,too bad he is robbed by that men named sean penn,sh*t)makes this movie felt so real that i thought i watched a documentary feature about some real life wrestler,while in fact,it is only a fiction

two words:Gordon Gekko

i watch it in 1 o'clock in the night hoping to get asleep (because many people said this movie is boring),.but what actually happen is, i'm awake from the beginning till the end and didn't feel asleep at all.this movie is a thrilling and tempting erotic thriller that leaves me one question : is Kubrick really a human being?because you know,nobody's perfect,but it looks like there's no single flaw in his filmography !

the best of the series,thanks to the "island of cannibals" and "swashbuckling on a wheel" scene

haha,another movie that i thought was boring when i was a little turns out to be brilliant right now

love story + charlie kauffman= spectacularly sweetly strange

AKA the one in which ashton kutcher really act

very funny ! alll the actors can bring laughs into the screen.even Jamie Lee Curtis make me laugh out loud

i could just watch this movie repeatedly for penelope alone

enchanting,colorful,unconventional,and darkly twisted.a must see romance !

an enjoyable little movie from scorsese,.very unusual it comes from him

well it may not be the greatest, but it's definitely the funniest in the series, thanks to the dentist scene

a movie that thrived because of Edward Norton Performance alone

the best(and the only good one)blade movie.why?because there's Guillermo del Toro on the director's seat !

setingkat di bawah ringu tapi tetep aja serem dah

dang ! what a sexy and tempting movie !

possibly the best remake of all time !

if you can stand the first half, then yo;re gonna get big reward in the next half

a highly underrated action thriller

what a hilarious satire !

JJ Abrams + Mission impossible franchise = thrilling fun ride!!

daniel craig is officialy the best bond around !

one of the most pleasant surprise that i get into watching movies

very surprising to see how rob zombie focusing more on the backstory of Michael Myers rather than just repeat the slash and kill of the original,for me,this is a smart move

a movie very enjoyable,cool, and highly entertaining roller coaster ride

one of the not so many sequel that thrive over the original.

The Mist is the most depressing movie i've ever watched

a fanboys dream come true...

an honest,bleak,and dark motion picture about marriage couples

great!honest and tender..best from riri riza so far

hate me for this.but in my opinion,this is eastwood most accomplished film to date

keren..beda dari film indo kbanyakan,.sinematografinya kerasa ga kyk fillm indo.,kekurangannya cuman di klimaksnya doang yg jadi kayak film silat

not only funny,but also heart-warming

visually stunning and narratively breathtaking at the same time, this is THE GODFATHER of vampire movies

an extraordinary tale of a man who is looking for the love of his life.a movie that,i guarantee,suited for everyone

although the story is a little generic and cliche (about a man who find redemption when he is back into his hometown) ,but this is generic and cliche with a heart.,beautiful..

very2 underrated.hollywood didn't understand how funny this movie was

by the time of "luke, iam your father!",yeah, i know i'm into perfection,.this is the ultimate sequel

sam raimi did this movie with fans in his mind

love this epic
bana vs pitt!
awesome!!

hilarious,raunchy,vulgar,and everything that you couldn't imagine for a cartoon movies

meirelles give a truthful account of brazilian slum life,and add it with some delightful style

one of the greatest action movie of the 90's

cronenberg most direct and accesible film to date..simply enthralling !

damn ! it looks like my soft spot for foreign film is getting bigger and bigger,.
The Chorus (Les Choristes) proves once again that you don't need big hollywood budget and effect to create brilliance..this is just another wonderful movie from french, full of inspiration and beauty, a drama and a little bit of comedy and tragedy for everyone

might be the funniest sci-fi of all time

THE ELEPHANT MAN revives my hopes for david lynch movies.i wonder when he can bring something like this again,more storytelling and less playing around with the material

film superhero yg ga biasa..
jgn ngarepin ada kostum norak ato topeng keren...ini cerita superhero yg sangat humanis

luc besson+sci fi+the mouthful chris tucker+the always amazing milla jovovich+john mclane=an enjoyable thrill fun ride

breathtaking,exhilarating,spielbirg is the king!

damn,this movie poster picture should be put next in the word "super-cool" in the dictionary

daring,provocative,and with a subject matter that hollywood often fears to tackle,VENUS is a drama unlike any other.and excelled by O'toole wondrous performance,this is a surprisingly brilliant movie that i didn't see coming.the last shot is a gem too(especially if you're a man,hehe)

DOGVILLE is a movie that really defies all convention.,just so unique,and i didn't see this movie style coming!brilliant filmaking by von trier,and anthony dod mantle(oscar winning D.O.P of SLUMDOG MILLIONAIRE,fyi).surely the best cinematography i've seen in long time! well,i know this is not for everyone (maybe many people will hate its style and its conclusion),but it gives me to thinks again about humanity,and the aspect of human nature as a whole.Damn great!

The Chaser kick ass!! after i'm enduring myself for so long with cheesy thriller from hollywood,the koreans save the day again! (at least for me). this is just,well,i;m not saying it is unpredictable,but when i watch this,there are times when i think "shit,this is just so not thriller-for-dummies by the book cliche hollywood often offers".i enjoy a movie where i had no idea what's gonna happen next,and this is one of it.if there's one letdown,it is the finale confrontation of the goodie and the baddie,which is the only cliche part in this movie,but fortunatelyl,the director take the step again with the final shot,which is sort of sad and leaves many intrepetation.surely the best thriller i've ever seen in years!

i rarely love silent movies.it's not that i hate them. i respect them.,its just,.for me,watching silent movies today,with the growth of technology and all, is just an irrelevant thing to do.i barely can sit through till the end.i can't get pass the first 20 minutes of chaplin movie.hell,i can't even get pass the first 5 minutes of metropolis.
but this,this is diferrent,.Dr. caligari is a horror movie that the silence and style just enhance the experience.the musics are haunting,the atmosphere is chilling,and the story,full of mystery!

in mathematics,they said that,when negative meet negative,then the result is positive.well,it looks like that theory could also be implemented in films.Amadeus is the perfect example for me.this movie genre is biopic,and at the same time,a period drama.both is a genre that i don't quite liked.but AMADEUS,whoa,its blown me.it quite possibly the best biopic and also the best period drama that i've ever seen.just spectacular in every aspect..

yeah right,a definite classic.this is a kind of movie that makes me smile all the time..and although the song is a tad old for my taste,but the coreography is just amazing (there's this one thing that feature one of the most amazing stunt in a movie i've ever seen by Donald O'Connor,which is in my opinion, the coolest sidekick ever!!)

wow.,a masterpiece that i didn't see coming! first of all,i really not into robert altman.his previous movies that i watched (SHORTCUTS, GOSFORD PARK) is just an OK for me.secondly,.when talking about altman,it looks like that everybody has in mind is M.A.S.H,or nashville,or Mccabe and mrs miller.i don't recall hearing THE PLAYER that much.,well,i haven't yet to seen those three movies,but at least,this one is supposedly on par,.movie couldn't get better than this.this is a perfect thriller,and also a perfect satire about the hollywood system.,add in the great performance of tim robbins,playing as the most jerkest protagonist i've ever seen,this is truly a gem.and having a great tracking opening shot didn't hurt either.oh and it got Jeremy Piven pre-Ari Gold (in a movie about hollywood??haha,what a coincidence!)

unconventional and beautifully shot romance movie.very refreshing ! PTA rocks(as always)!!

Von trier hit the spot again !loves Emily Watson,loves Stellan Skarsgaard,loves the soundtrack,and loves the powerful and dogmatic ending !

James Berardinelli,one of my favorite film critics,can't decide whether to give this movie a 0 or 4 stars.well,after watching ANTICHRIST myself,i got the point. This is one of the most brilliant,and at the same time,the most pretentious filmaking i've ever seen.

the opening 5 minutes (the prologue,in which von trier tells it)is just beautiful. i've never been as captivated (at least,not since the opening of THE FALL) by the extraordinary cinematography (once again,Anthony Dod Mantle proves,that he and von trier is a match made in heaven).

But after the opening,here comes the pretentious side (which fortunately for ME,i find it rather Genius than pretentious). with a lot of disturbing scenes comes around,the slow moving paces of the revealing truth,.and (as usual) a 'more than meets the eyes' ending (i myself still can't find the meaning of that last shot,now please someone tell me!)

as much as it is von trier egotastic project,this is also Gainsbourg and Dafoe playground. there are no one else on screen(except for a brief scene that feature their son).and i'm glad that they really deliver.it is their performance that makes me goes to a rather favorable more than disgust it (and believe me,the line is very very thin)

so overall,regardless of all the controversy,i think antichrist is a pretentiousness at its most genius

again,another scorsese underrated gem.this,and that movie called after hours should be his classic,not that movie about a boxer,or some lunatic taxi driver,or a joe pesci-gone-mad-mafia-movie. maybe it's scorsese image of the maker of 'guy' movie that makes this movie gone overlooked by many.this is funny and inspiring !(at least for all the single mother out there,don't give up!).haha and i didn't realize there's Jodie Foster in this!

since it is a bertolucci movie,it is no doubt has a beautiful cinematography.but what i like the most from THE CONFORMIST is not the beauty itself,but more of its unstructured narrative,which is a rarity on those days.this is a film that demand a second viewing.,and for good sake.,the script didn't give a simple A to B narrative.in fact,the movie rather very confused to watch,especially in the first hour.but,like trying to solve a puzzle,when the piece is done,then all its left is a feeling of satisfaction.,truly bertolucci masterpiece!

beautifully shot,beautifully told. this is cinema at its best ! the story of two intertwined men (played with such calamity by Takeshi Kaneshiro and Tony Leung) that try to cope with their heartbreak situation is highly romantic,in some sort of unique way,. have many great unique dialogues,and a superb soundtrack as well(the exception is the mandarin-language cranberries song,.haha)

of course its great,its tarantino.next.

if i am an academy voter,i will try my best to make this become one of the nominee of 2010 oscar for best foreign film. that statement just tells just how brilliant this movie is. This is comes as no surprise,as it comes from Boong Joon-ho (alongside Park Chan-wook and Kim Jee-won,the three lions of korea).

from the tone of the film,it is not much diferrent than his Memories of Murder.But if when i watching MoM the feeling is just like watching a Fincher's movie,well,in Mother,it is just refreshing.only by reading the premise,we know we're into something entirely different.A mother trying to solve a murder mystery to help his son getting away from jail?i'm in.

The highlight of Mother is,of course,the titular character herself,played mesmerizingly good by Kim Hye-ja (i also wanna take my money on her for best actress of 2010,by a long shot). Her elegant dancing in the beginning and ending of the film through some beautiful tango-ish music, is just enough to convince me to adore her character,no matter what act she did in the movie

well,i gotta to admit it:my love for this movie grows over time. at first viewing,i found it boring and out of context (i'm mildly disappointed and upset that this is not a story about a man under unusual circumstances,but more of a love story saga) ,.but to think of it again now,i just feels that this is a really wonderful film,both in technical and storytelling aspect..,Fincher really crafted his story with a such sophisticated hands,and don' forget that beautiful ending,and Cate Blanchett at her most "angelic" state.,Magnificent.

poignant.very very poignant..probably the closest CATCHER IN THE RYE adaptation i could get...

and my big question raise: how come Masaki Kobayashi become the lesser known japanese director,overshadowed by Kurosawa? only by seeing this truly epic masterpiece,i already fall in love with his great cinematography skills,and brilliant storytelling. Though i never get the idea of Harakiri itself,but i got to admit,this is a true timeless classic epic story.and that last finale?whoa.now i know where Tarantino Kill Bill The bride vs Crazy 88 inspiration comes from..

just like, the quieter version of American Beauty.,witty and great performance from all the cast !

after the traumatic experience that i had with a rom-com genre this year with He;s Just Not That Into You,Marc Webb gives something extraordinary antithesis:a wonderful romantic comedy that very refreshing and different. and by casting the one and only,ZOOEY DESCHANEL,only makes this film even greater. Love that expectation vs reality scenes,very funny,and yet at the same times,very sad

my favorite Malick movie to date ! i hope sometimes he will be back to tell a simple story like this,not an over the top,ambitious project. and that Carnival of the Animals-The Aquarium score,very effective !

this is probably the most divided of the series. some people call it boring,and not much action,other say its the most charming until now.,and i'm stepping into the latter category.

yes,this is it ! the best Harry Potter movie to date. The Empire Strikes Back of the Franchise.Really like david Yates approach,such as minimizing the action,throwing some clues,and adding some scenes.,now before watching this (and after watching the so-so 5th installment),i'm rather skeptical about he taking the directorial chair(for the third time!)for the last movie. but now,i support him 100 %

just can't wait till 2010..

am i become too subjective,or Chan wook really is brilliant?? It's just,every work,and i mean,every work of his that i already seen is always great.and this one is no exception.Looks like he is my new Kubrick

This time,he moves forward from his revenge trilogy,and takes a vampire genre as his main palette.supported by his favorite actor,Song Kang-hoo (JSA,sympathy for mr vengeance) and an ex beauty pageant model Kim Ok-vin (which,her beauty,resemblance one of my favorite actress from my country) as a unusual couple of much complexities.

it is in this film,that Chan Wook shows all his touch into the screen (he himself told the media,that THIRST is his most accomplished film to date). there are violence,controversial image,wild romance,darkly humor,beautiful scenery,wonderful cinematography,you tell..

So,while not as great as his masterpiece,such as Oldboy,or JSA,but i thought this is still an above average vampire movie,thanks to that gifted hand of chan wook craftmanship

in this movie,Kim Ki-duk proves that sometimes,dialogue isn't important in order to capture the poignant feelings and emotions.this is a "talk less do more" movie,and with a little dialogue on screen,really captured all the philosophy of life through the four seasons of circle of life (as the title suggest).
