Begin Again (2013)


Finally, I was watching it last week. I have been waiting for this movie since TIFF last year. Some women don;t like Keira but I like her, a lot to be honest. And Mark Rufallo, he is such a sweet heart who doesn't love him anyway?

This movie is totally a movie for music lovers. I don't call myself as a music lover because I don't listen that much, especially today music. I'm not a big fan of today's pop. And all of the singers and bands are now too pop for my liking. Okay, back to this movie. This movie is directed by John Carney, and I love all of his movies. This movie reminds me a lot of Once, maybe because of the cover and the music story. It's very sweet romantic movie that shows us that love doesn't always involved between two hopeless people in hopeless place. lol

The soundtrack is great, Adam Levine and Ce Loo Green are the bonus. Adam is good as an asshole, still not a fan of him. Keira is great, she is great play as this kind of girl. And Mark is always great in all of his movie. Too bad he is Hulk. lol This movie is totally Mark's movie. I just want to see Keira in lead role again. She is very great. She has been overshadowed by the male co star lately, too bad.

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle (2014)


I watched this movie because my little cousin beg me to accompany him. I don't like the TMNT series, and I don't think something will change my opinion about it. I do love reading reviews before I watch a movie, and I read a lot of bad reviews. That's why i didn't expected this movie to be good or amazing. This movie is for kids, totally for kids just like the last Transformer. Kids will like it, adults will hate it. Back then when I watched Transformer the first time, i really like Michael Bay, he is genius. And ugh, you don't know how much I hate Megan Fox, and I had to sit watching this movie seeing her face as the lead actor. She is the Shia of TMNT. lol

Anyway, I love the turtles, The CGI of the turtles are good. But for the other are blehhh.. Megan Fox is awful in here, not like as if she is good. Sorry, no hating, I know. The story is nothing special, just very normal story. The villain characters are undeveloped. But I love the chemistry between the brothers. And father and sons. It's easy movie, if you want fun and if you want to ask your kids to watch kids movies you should ask you kids, little siblings, or whoever they are to watch this movie. They will enjoy it, and laugh.

The Expendables 3 (2014)


Remember the greatness of 80's action movies? yeah don't expected that. But, if you watch it, sit, and enjoy it you will like The Expendable series just the way they are. Those oldies are still goodies, and the still can kick ass. This last Expendables series is  my favorite of the them all. I watched this because my dad asked us. He loved those old men. He still likes his actors of his decade. This movie was starred by almost those 80's and 90's bad ass movie stars. With the faces of some young actor who really want to be the next big thing. My biggest problem with this movie is not how boring or whatever it is. The problem is they have too many people in this movie, and we can't focused on anyone, week fight scenes, and Jet Li doesn't even fight. ughhh... 

The first 20 minutes of the movie is boring, same story, same old, same old. But then the new casts come and make a little bit different. This movie has great trailer anyway, that's why I will never lose hope on The Expendables series. I'm not the big fan of the action movies to be honest. Hey, I'm a woman. The story is bland. But great action. This is not supposed to be PG-13. But in my theater they have it as D (or adult)

Oh and anyway this movie is all about Stallone, they just name dropped all of the other greatest action stars. Anyway if you want a great action movie with no serious plot this movie is totally for you, but if you expected story. Just don;t go. this is not a bad or amazing movie. But definitely good. They have really cheap CGI tho. I expected a story when I watched this, that's why I'm disappointed. they have good humor and they have new casts and some are not important to be honest. 

Guardians of The Galaxy (2014)

Finally, I have watched Guardians of the Galaxy, a little bit l2p. But hey blame the cinema and Indonesia Distributor. I'm lucky tho, because it's really good!! The wait is worth it. I like it. After tons of Indie movies, I'm going to start writing new movies's reviews. And this weekend I have watched Guardians of the Galaxy, The Expendables 3, and Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle.

I always like Marvel, the comics, cartoons, Movies, especially the movies. from X-men to The Avengers. I like them all, now it's Guardians of the Galaxy time. When I first watched the trailer I got excited. But Who doesn't? Before I watched this movie I had this high expectations, and I'm afraid it would be disappointed me. I read too much Marvel geek reviews on reddit. And to be honest I was afraid it would  flop, I mean Captain Americas :The Winter Soldier was on the roll. They got rave reviews. Story, emotions, action were mixed perfectly.

You know, I'm still on the recover stage after seeing this movie. They don't take this movie seriously, and just perfect movie after the dark theme of Thor 2 and Captain America 2. It'is funny and very refreshing movie, totally new level of cinema. In this movie you will see tons a lot of comic characters that you would never expected to see in real action movie. This movie is in my top three Marvel movie list, and I still don't know which one are number one, two, or three. lol.  Quill is kinda remind me of Chris Pine's James Kirk. I don't know why, i feel like they are one person.

I can say this movie and TWS are the best blockbuster of the year. And Dawn of The Planet of Apes , I forgot about that. I love indies, and as much as I love it I can't live without blockbuster movies around me. The CGI is amazing, they definitely gets the Oscar nods. And the humors are witty and fun. I really like this movie. This movie gets everything, the humors, the actions, the characters, and the CGIs are really really good. And after you see the credit, I'm sure you will consider to watch it again. It's that good

The Before Trilogy -- Richard Linklater

I had been wanting to watch the Trilogy in marathon for so long. And as I told you before, I was so l2p about this trilogy. So last night, I didn't sleep (thanks good today internship started late and I'm kinda free today). I watched Before Sunset years ago (with my older cousin). And I watched Before Midnight last year. SO I'm going to start my review about this trilogy by amazing man "Richard Linklater". for me the trilogy are on the top of my favorite movie. Sweet, warm, heartbreaking, and all. i love it. If you need something that's real and truthful. Give the trilogy a shot

Before Sunrise (1995)

Lauren Bacall -- Never Ending Classic Beauty

Sad, sad news all over again. Yesterday one of the Hollywood classic, golden era women has gone. or maybe she was the last of them. Hepburn, Taylor, Monroe, Leigh, and more. She is really pretty, if only I could live in her era. She was not Audrey Hepburn with her phenomenal career and cute behavior or Elizabeth Taylor, or Marilyn Monroe, She was Ms Bacall who stood on her own.  Her romance story with Humphrey Bogart is never ending, the way she loved him really inspires me. She was a friend of Marilyn Monroe. She was the first Hollywood it-girl. She got the face, the body, and the talents. She was the "I-don't-give-a-fuck" kind of girl. Her legendary eyebrows were really legendary, her squared shoulder, and her husky voice were very legendary. Same as the other Hollywood classics, she came from the same background, daughter of immigrants, had an american dream, and deadbeat father. Until she came in Harper Bazaar cover in World Ward II era

Robin Williams -- The Light Of My Childhood



So so sad, When I log in on twitter and the first headline I read was "Robin Williams Confirmed Died" I thought It was hoax, until everything was confirmed. I was so devastated, I don't know why I'm so affected. Maybe because the night before the news I watched the marathon of The Crazy Ones. His latest TV series with Sarah Michelle Gellar. I love them in this series, the father-daughter bonding was amazing. And I'm so affected maybe because he was the light of my childhood years. he was one of the reasons why I love movies so much. Hook, Aladdin, Mr Doubtfire, Popeye, Toys, Flubber, Robots, Jack, Artificial Intelligent, Happy Feet,  Jumanji, Dead Poet Society, Night At The Museum, and so much more. He was funny, not the unacceptable funny, He was funny in everyone eyes. From kids to the elders, they would laugh every time he told his funny stories. But he could be this serious and heartbreaking actor at the same times. He  won Oscar and was nominated three times before he was finally winning it. And the speech was funny and awesome. No, i don't accept the way he ended his live. But the fact that he was the one that made us laugh and he was the one who suffered the most from his problems, it made me sad and respected him more. He made us laugh when he could not be happy with him self :(

Fifty Shades of Grey vs Secretary



Secretary vs Fifty Shades of Grey. Tbh, I think there is no versus. for me Secretary all the way. I mean... just watch Secretary. I'm not going to lie that I hate FSOG, but I just can't stand it, the book is getting worse. I read it to enjoy my holiday, but that doesn't mean its' a good book. Other than badly written book, the book is not moving. but I really enjoy read it. But I don't want to read the series, I just watch the first book. And I don't want to go thru the same thing all over again.

Lost in Translation and The English Patient

I haven't watched movies in almost a week. and it's frustrating. last movie I watched was Ironman 3 and it's on TV. lol you know I'm obsessed with movies so yeah, I can't stand it. and the past two days I watched 3 movies Lost in Translation, The English Patient, and Before Sunset ( I know it's trilogy, and I'm so left behind because I just watched it, and I'm going to finish it today and I'll review it tomorrow). I know I'm in the mood romantic drama movies lately, so brave your self.

1. Lost in Translation (2003)

Summer Hair Accessories

I haven't posted in very long time. i know, but I just had a short holiday with my family. I'm confused on what I might to post. but i'm going to post about my hair accessories for this holiday. And it's amazing, I use to have a short hair. Medium short hair, that's kinda my style, I don't think I will look good with long hair because I have this weird round kinda square face, I have the same structure as Emma Stone (she is a lot prettier!!!), and I have never seen her with very long hair. And I do the same thing as her.


Okay, back to the topic, this summer in my city, in my country has been pretty HOT. It's Indonesia. It's very hot. And if you have long hair you always need a hair tie everywhere, or even two, or maybe even three. I mean I don't have long hair but I still bring hair tie and head band even hair clip everywhere, it's very hot here.
