| Avatar - PG-13 | actually the first two hours is quite good and beyond my expectation, although sometimes feels a bit pretentious but it can't be called bad either, then comes the hollywood cliches that makes this movie feels 'cheap' and unclassy, and that last 40 minutes is very painful to watch, it destroy all the good foundation this movie has.. | December 30, 2009 | N/A | |||
| Hable con Ella (Talk to Her) - R | this is a complete movie, beautiful, well-acted, nice drama, very emotional (as almodovar always did), and hugely entertaining (thanks to the silent movie !), yet another outsanding movie from almodovar, all of his movie always hooked me in a special way ! | December 27, 2009 | N/A | |||

| Tokyo Story (Tôkyô monogatari) - Unrated | sometimes the simplest story makes the most complicated impact on your soul, and this film is the perfect example. This is very heartfelt and very humanist film without even trying to be. | December 25, 2009 | N/A | |||

| 8 1/2 - Unrated |
yes i could see why this film routinely places high at most of the best-movie-of-all-time list, i could feel the greatness, i can touch it, but i couldn't hug it yet, i haven't get the whole of fellini's idea yet, i guess this is the kind of movie that will grows better as you watched it again. that's the only reason why this movie missed it's very well deserved half star from me, it's my wall of stupidity, but i'm quite confident that i could break that wall with the second viewing (which is the same way for me to understand synecdoche, new york, a very similar movie ideologically in my opinion)., oh and this film inspired some of the great modern movie, especially adaptation and synecdoche, new york of course (so, i guess andy kaufman must be his number 1 fan, then), and this movie has the greatest opening sequences i ever seen., one thing for sure, i smiled when this film ends, not only because it greatness, but also because of the fact that i already own a treasure.. |

| Indecent Proposal - R | this is not a bad movie, quiet powerful, although the plot is kinda lame, but this movie has a genuine romantic feeling that another romantic movie like titanic would've been proud of, and we should give a credit for that, right? | December 21, 2009 | N/A | |||
| Synecdoche, New York - R |
a lot of people think this is an arrogant movie because they thought this is a personal movie from kaufman and this is all about him, his dreams, his mind, and zero fun, but not for me, for me this film is all about human's life, all about us, everyone, and also has the entertainment aspect with kaufman's typical dark, absurd, and bizzare sense of humor., in my opinion, this is a contemplative movie but not crafted "contemplatively in a traditional way", so maybe that's the problem, people who watched this felt this is a regular movie like others kaufman stuff movie, so it's normal that they expected a great fictional entertainment like his previous writing, not this contemplative movie., and maybe that's also the reason why he direct this himself, because no one could have done like what he did and what he want it to be done., for me, this is the most deep, affecting, insightful, and ambitious film from charlie kaufman, and i believe this is gonna be a classic movie for the future, and charlie kaufman is one of the most important director in this generation.. |

| La Règle du Jeu (The Rules of the Game) - Unrated | yes this is good, but i can't see the greatness, i can't see something really special in this movie, this film could easily get my 4 stars rating for it's decent entertainment, but i give this 3 and a half stars because this film never live up my super-high expectation, so blame the hype, not me.. | December 19, 2009 | N/A | |||
| Dao ma zei (The Horse Thief) - Unrated | a powerful simplistic little story that crafted so delicately delightful by tian, this feels a bit like tarkovsky meets herzog, but still, i don't think this movie reach it full potential, and the pace is a little too slow even for my taste.. | December 16, 2009 | N/A | |||
| (500) Days of Summer - PG-13 |
great great great romantic comedy, i am very tempted to say this is on the same level with annie hall, yes, i'm not exaggerating., this is very romantic as a romance film though this is not a love story (however, what is love anyway?), and very funny as a comedy movie, and this film is masterfully crafted by marc webb(especially that idea about the timeline thing), there are some great lines, beautiful pictures, nice and heartfelt moments, and played greatly by the cast., all in all this is sweet, funny, refreshing, tragic, original, and pure beautiful., and once again, yes, this is not a love story, but this is a story about love.. |

| Stalker - Unrated |
very ambitious film from tarkovskyi., in this great sci-fi-adventure movie, tarkovsky masterfully showed us his vision of life in a dark and devastating way with a lot of great quote, or a poem to be more precise, and with mysterious acts which demand our very own interpretation, and that's a good thing in this kind of film., but my highest compliment for this film is not for it's great philosophical depth, but for it's stupendous visual image, it is cinema's greatest portraitists ever.. |

| Jermal - Unrated | this is a good movie, with a beautiful cinematography and very powerful story, this film has a potential to be a great movie, unfortunately this film never live up to it full potential, the execution is very standard, the acting from didi petet is below his standard (didi petet is one of the best actor in indonesia fyi), and many scenes seems clumsy to me, too bad for a movie that has a wonderful script and writing, i wonder what would the film be if they had a better and more gifted director.. | December 14, 2009 | N/A | |||
| Chungking Express - PG-13 |

| Stealing Beauty - R | bertolucci should made this as a silent movie rather than a regular movie, because this movie is only pleasing in the eye with bertolucci's craftmanship and the purely beautiful figure of liv tyler.. | December 12, 2009 | N/A | |||
