Emma Watson Speech at UN about Feminism

On Saturday, Sept. 20, U.N. Women Goodwill Ambassador Emma Watson gave a stunning speech about women’s rights.* Stunning. In it, she talked about the inequality women face every day, everywhere in the world. She related her own personal experience (being sexualized at a young age, having male friends who couldn’t express their feelings for worry of being seen as unmasculine, and more) as well as giving the broader context of gender bias.

Check out a transcript of Watson's speech below.

2015 Oscar Prediction - Best Director

After I made my random and "Sok Tau" Prediction about the best picture for next year Oscar Contender I'm going to make best Director release. because best picture won't happen with the director right? Here are my predictions for the Best Director prize at next year's Oscars, which could see previous nominees Paul Thomas Anderson, David Fincher, Mike Leigh, Rob Marshall, Bennett Miller, Alejandro González Iñárritu and Christopher Nolan factor into a race full of potential newbies. JC Chandor, Tim Burton, Richard Linklater (who looks like safest call at this point), James Marsh, Angelina Jolie, Wes Anderson have got Oscar love in other categories, but never here. All kind of shocking in a few cases, for sure...

But that all aside, who's in the lead? It's hard to tell given we haven't seen so many films, though even at this point it's hard to imagine Linklater and Iñárritu not factoring into this race, and all eyes are definitely on Jolie to become the first female nominee since Kathryn Bigelow won five years ago.

The Safe Bet
1. Richard Linklater, "Boyhood"
2. Alejandro González Iñárritu, "Birdman"

Hasn't released yet but they look strong
3. David Fincher, "Gone Girl"
4. Angelina Jolie, "Unbroken"
5. David Ayer, "Fury"
6. Christopher Nolan, "Interstellar"
7. Paul Thomas Anderson, "Inherent Vice"

Next on my list
8. Wes Anderson, "The Grand Budapest Hotel"
9. Mike Leigh, "Mr. Turner"
10. Bennett Miller, "Foxcatcher"
11. James Marsh, "Theory of Everything"
12. Morten Tyldum, "The Imitation Game"

Sounds good
13. Ana DuVernay, "Selma"
14. JC Chandor, "A Most Violent Year"
15. Tim Burton, "Big Eyes"
16. Clint Eastwood, "American Sniper"
17. Rob Marshall, "Into The Woods"

Dark Horses
18. Damien Chazelle, "Whiplash"
19. Jean-Marc Vallée, "Wild"
20. Jon Stewart, "Rosewater"

BFI London Film Festival Jury

Veteran producer Jeremy Thomas has been named head of the official competition jury for the upcoming BFI London Film Festival.

In an announcement made Tuesday, the appointment of the prolific producer behind titles such as The Last Emperor, Crash, Naked Lunch and Only Lovers Left Alive — and a former BFI chair — was revealed alongside Luc Roeg, Sophie Fiennes and Finola Dwyer, who are set to preside over the first feature, documentary and best British newcomer competition juries, respectively.

On the official competition jury, Thomas will be joined by rising Egyptian director and last year’s best film award nominee Ahmad Abdalla (who also has his film Decor in the program), Golden Globe winner and Oscar nominee Sally Hawkins, producer Lorna Tee, X-Men star James McAvoy and Variety chief film critic Scott Foundas.

The festival also announced that The Disappearance of Eleanor Rigby would be joining its lineup of screenings. The U.K. premiere of the McAvoy and Jessica Chastain-starring drama is set to take place on Oct. 17 at the Odeon West End in London's Leicester Square, with McAvoy and director Ned Benson set to attend.

Last year, Pawel Pawlikowski's Ida — Poland's foreign-language entry for the 2015 Academy Awards — picked up the BFI London Film Festival's Best Film gong. Previous winners include Rust & Bone, We Need to Talk About Kevin and A Prophet.

Only Lovers Left Alive review (2013)

My favorites were int his movie. Tilda Swinton, Tom Hiddleston, Mia Wasikowsa, Anton Yelchin. So why not? the movie sounds creepy at first. with those creepy stars it makes it more and more interesting. Only Lovers Left Alive is kind of an anti-vampire movie. It embraces aspects of the vampire genre like how vampires can't go out in sunlight, have super fast reflexes, and live forever. However, it moves away from some of the silly aspects. Jim Jarmusch does a good job of setting up how a vampire could survive in the world. He takes his time and shows us instead of tells us

As a matter of fact, rarely does one find a film with such romantic awareness about the world coming to an end. It is as if the film knew it was the last love film on Earth. The narrative is definitely lacking in certain areas and when you consider Only Lovers Left Alive is a movie about vampires, we expect more than we end up with, in respect to bloodsucker behaviour, but what saves this film more than a little are the brilliant performances by our main two, Adam and Eve, Anton Yelchin's Ian, and the short but destructive appearance from Eve's sister Ava (Mia Wasikowska).

Tracks (review) (2013)

I watched this movie few months ago. I like it, and I feel in love with Mia W in this movie. She is a great actress but I really like her from this movie.

Tracks is the true story of Robyn Davidson, a 27 year old woman from Brisbane who in 1977 decided to embark on a 1,677 mile trek from Alice Springs to the Indian Ocean, crossing the Australian outback. She did it mainly alone, aside from four camels and a faithful dog. She was helped a little by a photographer who organised financial backing for her trip from National Geographic magazine and with whom she had brief romantic involvement on her trip, while she was also assisted on the way by some Aboriginals who guided her though sacred lands of theirs. The trip in total took nine months.

The Maze Runner Rewiew (2014)

I know it's been a very long time since I posted anything or even anything about movie review. And last week i watched this movie. Finally, you don;t know how excited I am for this movie. I was afraid this movie will be another flop with the post apocalypse theme and all. but thank;s God they do good at box office and critics.

The appeal of the The Maze Runner for its billion dollar genre is how straightforward everything it seems. It (thankfully) doesn't begin with a voice-over narration, because indeed it's another high concept that designs a world as a mind-bending game. The film already faults for spilling too much rules and details, but when things starts actually moving, the action becomes marvelous, with large scaled, suspense driven set pieces that easily makes it worth the price admission. The worst of it however is when it finally unfolds all of the hidden secrets, compromising much of the potential of this ride. Still, it's pretty hard to deny the excitement of the experience alone. Treating it as another solid action film might be enough for a while.

TIFF Winners 2014

Yesterday the winners were announced. So far it looks  pretty good with the Imitation Games winning the Toronto People Choice award. TIFF is where audiences can see the best of last January’s Sundance film festival: imports include Infinitely Polar Bear with Mark Ruffalo; Whiplash, which won the U.S grand jury prize and audience award; and Lynn Shelton’s Laggies. This is also the first chance for many to catch Cannes film festival prize-winners Winter Sleep (Palme d’Or), Foxcatcher (best director for Bennett Miller), Leviathan (best screenplay), Maps to the Stars (by David Cronenberg; best actress for Julianne Moore), Mr. Turner (best actor for Timothy Spall) and the two films that tied for the jury prize, Mommy by Montreal’s Xavier Dolan and Goodbye to Language by Jean-Luc Godard.

The Imitation Game is the winner. A biopic starring Benedict Cumberbatch as an ingenious British codebreaker and computer-science pioneer Alan Turing has won the top prize at the Toronto International Film Festival. Director Morten Tyldum’s “The Imitation Game” claimed the coveted Grolsch People’s Choice Award at a Sunday morning brunch, held annually to mark the end of the 11-day movie marathon. The film, which also stars Oscar nominee Keira Knightley and Matthew Goode, beat out first runner-up “Learning to Drive” — a dramedy about the unlikely friendship between Patricia Clarkson’s newly separated book editor and her driving instructor, played by Ben Kingsley — and second runner-up “St. Vincent,” which stars Bill Murray as the cantankerous caretaker of a young boy. The crowd-pleasing “The Imitation Game,” however, simply proved too compelling in a tough-to-predict year in which there was no clear front-runner for the festival’s top award.

This is the full list winner.

2015 Oscar Prediction - Best Picture

From what I have watched from those reviews and festival. I have my own list of next year award season for best picture. It's still too early, but those film festival makes me excited. SO this is my prediction, I did the best Picture first. Because it;s the most important thing. Director next and the actors are next. I want to read more reviews. Beside, TIFF is going to be over today. Let's make the review about that first.

The Safe Bets (that have been released):
1. "Birdman" (Alejandro González Iñárritu)
2. "Boyhood" (Richard Linklater"
3. "The Imitation Game" (Morten Tyldum)
4. "Foxcatcher"(Bennett Miller)

Next on my list
5. "The Theory of Everything" (James Mars)
6. "Whiplash" (Damien Chazelle)
7. "Gone Girl (David Fincher)
8. "Wild" (Jean-Marc Vallee)
9. "Nightwrawler" (Dan Gilroy)

Still Alice (book and movie)

I read the book way before thye announced about the movie. I read this because I'm always curious with Alzheimer. It's interesting topic for me. and when I goggled it I found Still Alice. It's interesting book. The book was told by Alice POV, the victim of the Alzheimer. It's rare and good. It felt like I couldn't  trust the book, because it was told by Alice POV. But it;s a really good book. One of the best book I have read, and I love it because it's not Y/A fiction and I;m kinda done with Y/A era.

Before this book, I'd always seen Alzheimer as disease which only attach the elder. Bt I'm wrong. Alice had everything, amazing career, family, and kids. with the exception of Lydia. She is the black sheep of the family. Not really the black sheep to be honest, she is just different from The Howland family. Everything changed when Alice started forgetting a few things like a word and where she put her things. And she became curious about it, and when she forgot how to get home. It's very sad part, I could feel Alice emotion. The book it self is a very breathtaking, how Alice's family deal with it. Her husband chose to avoid it it and he still wanted to everything he would do. Her kids the oldest wanted to treat Alice as if she was the fragile thing. Same as the boy. But the most interesting kid is the younger one, Lydia. Alice and Lydia never got along before, but it surprised me that Lydia was the one who cared that much about Alice. She had the patience, she treated Alice like usual, but with more loves. She was mad at her mother when her mother invaded her privacy, she let her mpother did what her mother needed without complains. She did everything for Alice, she didn't want to go to college before, but she chose to do it. I don't know if it was her decision or she did it for Alice. And her husband was kinda jerk. I don't know, maybe he had his own issues and didn't want to watch his loving wife teared apart in front of him. 

The Rover (2014)

I'm curious about this movie, this movie was one of the movie that got good reviews and buzz, maybe because the former Edward Cullen was here. I was Twilight fam, eventhought O'm more Kristen Stewart fan. But i;m curious about those big franchise actors after the franchise is over. Daniel Radcliffe did great, Emma Watson is more on working to get critical acclaims, and Ruper Grint he was on Ed Sheeran video clip lol. Keira did an amazing job, Orlando is being Orlando, etc, etc. And now I'm on the watch of Twilight former stars.

So Cannes this year, this movie was made last year, with David Michod directed it (Animal Kingdom) and Guy Pearce (Brad Pitt's look alike with very underrated reviews. Trust me Mr Pearce is amazing actor). Reading the synopsis it feels like Mad Max, the after apocalypse movie based on the dessert on Australia, and the newest Mad Max will release next year.

The story is about the guy who lose everything he once loved, and the only thing he has is his car, and when someone stole it he met the robber. It's very intense story. I can't stand the violence in this movie. It's not my cup of tea, I love drama, but it's too dramatic. my father loves this movie.

By dramatic I don't mean over dramatic. David Michod is very brave to tell this story but IMO there is very little dialogue and I don;t like it. I;m the queen of quoting movies.  Like I said before too many violence, and I think it's unnecessary. This movie has great character (Eric and Rey) it's about their journey, I wish they will stay to it. I love the building characters of Eric and Rey. And how the relationship grow into something. first they are enemy and then they before this awkward partner. The story it self is interesting, not as good as Animal Kingdom but definitely worth watching

Do I like the movie? not really. But it's not my cup of tea. I like the characters more. This movie has good scenery. The story is interesting if you like western post apocalypse movie you should watch this movie.

My rating : 7/10
IMDB : 6.7/10
Metacritics : 64/10
Rottentomatoes : 66%

Boyhood - Review

FINALLY, FINALLY!!! I have watched Boyhood. I wondered about this movie since Sundance and Berlin Film Festival this year, with Linklater won a Silver Bear Prize. 12 years of making. WOW. amazing reviews, Oscar Buzz, Ethan Hawke, Richard Linklater, that young boy, Patricia Arquette, etc. I just couldn't wait to watch this movie. Finally I have watched it now. And I'm, so proud.

From the concept is very interesting, it's like a documentary movie but it was scripted. 12 years of making, very dedicated actors and crews. It's all paid off. So this is my review as I said before, Linklater is the master of making real, simple, realistic movies with a lot of dialogue, less music and all. He doesn't want to manipulate the audience with amazing scores. Some complain about this, ME on the other hand I enjoyed it. My sister doesn't enjoy this movie, she said it was over long and not as good as the critics and bloggers say. But I really like it, it feels like watching my brother gew up in front of my eyes. I love the details on how Linklater shows what year it is, like the music, the game, the language, and all.

Ellar Coltrane as Mason is very magnificent. He is terrific, but I enjoy the first half of his charater, nearing the end of the movie I didn't like his character that much. But Ellar could play it amazingly. I love how Mason grows up, we first see him as this young boy who enjoy his life until to the point when he wonders what should he has done. Everyone has been on Mason shoes, we can;t deny it. Or if you are still very very young you will know you will be on Mason's shoes.

Across The Universe(2007)

I miss this movie, I think this is the first movie, I watched it by my self. the first movie that made me curious about movie festival. Because this was the first  I knew about Toronto International Film festival ( I was 7th Grade). Since that year I was obsessed with indie movies. And because of this movie I watched the award race for the first time. And it was very fun year. everything was very fresh for me. 2007 was the year of really good movies. And I chose the best year, and I'm very proud of it. I'm luck I have watched all of the movie from 2007. because yeah, everybody says 2007 was the best year of movies in last 10 years. from Into The Wild to Atonement. And I remember I watched Oscar for the first and i felt the excitement of it. Really really good memories.

Back to the movie. i like this movie, In my opinion this movie is very fresh and creative. This movie was all about The Beatles. I don't call my self as The Beatles fan, but I like their songs. and I have all of their albums. I have much older friends back then. So I watched this movie because of them. they like The Beatles, my dad loves The Beatles. So i tried to watch it. this movie was nominated for Golden Globe.

Grace of Monaco Review (2014)

Last year, when I heard about this movie I was so excited. I want to watch this movie. And when I heard the buzz that this movie would open Cannes 2014 made more and more excited. Directed by Olivier Dahan, the director behind La Vi en rose. Nicole Kidman as Grace Kelly. Everything sounded great at first. And then here we had Cannes. Sad, they booed this movie at Cannes. Bad and negative reviews everywhere.

The problem with this movie is how they pushed it so hard. So we were really curious about it, we wanted to see it so bad. We love La Vi en rose. I love La Vie en rose. So of course I expected something like that. The problem with the overall story is that the relationship between Grace and the Prince isn't all that interesting. They actually spend little time with one another, due to the Prince's absorption with the crisis. There's a confusing sub-plot involving the Prince's sister, who appears to have betrayed Monaco, by passing state secrets to the French (having only seen the film once, I'm not exactly sure of what she was guilty of). The film's scenarists solution is to have Grace decide to conform to the Prince's wishes, by giving up her rebellious streak, and embracing her traditional role as dutiful wife and consort. Hence, considerable time is spent tracking Grace's movements in Paris, while on a big shopping spree.

Hercules 2014 Review

When I knew The Rock was in this movie, I knew I couldn't take this movie seriously. So, I went to see Hercules with little to no expectations. The main reason was that I needed some cheesy summer flick to laugh at, and the movie's trailer did promise this kind of stuff. Well, the movie did not disappoint - indeed, it was cheesy, but in such a self-aware way, that it falls out of the "so bad that it's good" category and gets into the "simply good" one. Irony is dominant through the whole 98 minutes, and there are plenty of minor and major plot twists, albeit not a single forced one. And the story is delivered in an entertaining way without any unnecessary melodrama or heroism - a nice change from most of Hollywood big-budget action flicks.

Sin City : A Dame To Kill For (2014)

First, I don't like a movie with too much violence. I still dont get it why the hell I chose this movie. I could'nt stand 300 and the first Sin City, so yeah when I watched this I bolted and then back again, stupid me I guess. LOL

A Dame to Kill For is the same type of movie as the first, but it is not executed quite as well. It may just be be cause the style lost some of its original appeal, but I thought it didn't live up to its predecessor. With that said, I still thought A Dame to Kill For was a great time at the movies. Everything about it was solid. It continued the action from the first and did not fail to keep me at the edge of my seat. And, Marv was his normal, b.a. self.

Venice International Film Festival 2014 Winners

Venice and Telluride are done. and we have the list of Venice winners. And Toronto International Film festival  and Deauville American Film festival are on. Excited season indeed. And I'm proud two of Indonesian movies at Venice are the winner. The Look of Silence by Jopshua Oppenheimer and Maryan by Sidi Saleh. And The Look of Silence is the most talked about about in Venice Hollywood. I'm proud to be Indonesia.

Among the films eligible that have played well with critics are Alejandro G Inarritu’s Birdman; Joshua Oppenheimer’s The Look Of Silence; Andrei Konchalovsky’s The Postman’s White Nights; Italian titles Il Giovane Favoloso, Anime Nere and Hungry Hearts; China’s Red Amnesia; Roy Andersson’s A Pigeon Sat On A Branch Reflecting On Existence; and Ramin Bahrani’s 99 Homes. After a scandal in 2012 when the jury was unable to award the Golden Lion to its first choice, rules were tweaked last year to add a Grand Jury Prize. But only in exceptional cases can a film win more than one prize; and whoever wins the Golden Lion can win that, and only that, award. See below for winners updated as they are announced:

TIFF -- 15 Movies That Will Attract Buyers

Since I agree with THR list, I'm going to post the same. And Yay, this is the year of women movies. Like it. From Chastain to Kristen Wiig. I cant wait. Love them. These movies haven't got any distributor yet, especially US distributor. But since they looks powerful, hoping I;m right about them will get 2014 release.

High-profile titles that could spark deals out of the Venice and Telluride festivals include the Andrew Garfield drama 99 Homes, Mia Wasikowska's Madame Bovary and two Al Pacino films: BarryLevinson's The Humbling and David Gordon Green's Manglehorn. One twist: Because of TIFF's new rule banning Telluride titles from playing the first week­end, the fest is allowing private-buyers screenings the first weekend to avoid a logjam the following week.

Here are the Toronto titles topping buyers' lists:

Before We Go (CAA/WME/Sierra)

Director: Chris Evans

Stars: Evans, Alice Eve

Buzz: This dramedy, which revolves around two strangers stuck together during a long night in NYC, marks the directorial debut of Evans -- aka Captain America -- making it a definite curiosity.

Toronto International Film Festival -- Full Line up and Schedule

Tomorrow is the first day of Toronto International Film festival, i really can;t wait. This is the biggest indie film festival with very simple red carpet. not like the fancy Venice or Cannes. they are a bit simple, but not as simple as Telluride and Sundance. I cant with almost 400 movies screening this year, TIFF is the biggest film festival this year. And the list is very tempting. There's a lot of movies that I want to watch. Hopefully I can get a chance too watch it sooner than later. TIFF is more to find a decent distributor for some movies, if the movies is great enough they will get 2014 release and ready to race in award race. There's a lot of movie I want to watch, and I want Still Alice to get 2014 realease. I want Julianne Moore to get back to Oscar Race and win it. She deserves it more than anyone. More than Amy Adams and even Jessica Chastain.

The festival will open with Robert Downey Jr's The Judge and will close with Alan Rickman's A little Chaos. Mr Severus Snape is directing!. This is the full list and this the schedule

London Film Festival Line Up

One again fall film festival that has annouced their Line Up. It's London Film Festival, with Telluride Film Festival has ended with very satisfaction reviews with on what might happen on Oscar race next year, We will have London Film Festival that will happen on October. Some movies that had the first release on Cannes Film Festival has remind stable in Telluride. Like Foxcather, and I cant wait to watch Birdman and The Imitation Game.

Anyway back to London Film Festival,they have announced Fury and The Foxcatcher before. The Imitation Game will open the festival and Fury will close it. and this is the full list.

Lucy -- Review (2014)

I have been waiting for this movie for like forever, and finally I watched it last week. I like Scarjo, alot. And I still want The Black Widow to have her own franchise. she is bad ass, she is the most amazing agent in SHIELD. and she is the perfect example of feminist. So when the first time I watched the trailer the first thought that came to my mind was "want it in my eyes, now!"

surprise I kind like it, even some missed the point. But i like it, but just because it's a strong movie about woman. It's a bad ass movie with very good choreographer. My sister loves this movie, because Black widow is in it. lol. Some of the critics who said this is silly movie, I do't understand why. because Luc Besson became very creative? or because it's a movie a bout woman who can take down men easily? Scarlett is very terrific in this movie, she proves it that she can do anything, from action to drama. she is that good. The effect is great, this could be very big movie. But like I said before, they lost the point.

This movie is totally better than what i expected, this fun movie. I was afraid I would be disappinted. But when I finished I like it, it;s not as horrible or as silly as they say it. it's very entertaining. Not everyone can watch this movie without whining and complaining. Not very much thought provoking or complex but you should enjoy it so much. Just watch it.

what I like about this movie is how this movie was on the top gross rating, beat Hercules. I'm happy because woman movie can rule the cinema once again.

The Look of Silence -- Indonesia at Venice Film Festival

This year two of Indonesia movies are going to Venice. Short movie by Sidi Saleh and Indie by Joshua Oppenheimer produced by Werner Herzog. I haven't heard about Maryam by Sidi Saleh, but I heard the good news about The Look of Silence. They got standing ovation at Venice. Some of the critics even say it is the top five movie this year. The movie is about Indonesian killing of 1965-1966. It's very sensitive subject for this country, its a documentary movie. I hear it is a sequel Oppenheimer's previews Indonesian movie which got Oscar nom, The Act of Killing. I have watched The Act of Killing and it;'s very good movie. very bad ass and I like it. Not only because its based on my country but because it's good movie. Since it's produced by Werner Herzog he and his team has pushes it into so many festival just like The Act of Killing. I can't wait to watch this movie, they got rave reviews. And hoping many Indonesia film makers will get the Indonesia of doing something like this. I mean we have great film makers. But look at The Raid and The Act of Killing it's Indonesia's sensitive subject. but they made it into everywhere. I read The Look of Silence will have 2015 release, hoping for 2014 US premiere tho so they can push it into Award Season and release it here sooner. Finger cross. I love my country being mentions. And more people want to make people here and about Indonesia. we have amazing history.
