really sad to know that my friends in indonesia and my fams dont have the same holiday time with me everytime i come back :( but it's totally fine. i only feel bored and lonely in the mornings, and all of those feelings are gone when afternoons start since my sis is back from school, then my besties come back from tiring lectures, and after that my parents are home :)
soooooo in order to throw the boredom away from my mornings, i decided to rent some dvds from a rental near my house, ha-ha-ha-ha, sounds like a very genious idea rite, so lame i didnt do that earlier :D
since i'm not a big fan of theaters (because i am one of a few people who hates being in a dark theatre. i still can get the idea of the movie without having to be in the dark and spending more money! but its still ok if you guys wanna ask me to do so, i'm such a getting-along person :D) i rented seven movies and you guys might had watched some of it long long time ago and now may have a thought of "what?-you-haven't-watched-this-movie??-where-have-you-been-dudette?" passed your mind. its ok, i spent too much time staying in my college i guess, hhaha. now i wanna give some reviews from MY side of view. hey, i think its ok, its MY OWN blog, i can write ANYTHING i want, rite? :)
ahh lets just get it started!
1. CAMP ROCK
well, another fancy-shmancy-musical movie from disney channel. another boring stories about the rich spoiled annoying girls who got the power above the poor, you-me-and-her, being popular, and happiness that comes after sadness. buuuuttt, one thing that makes me always want to watch disney musical movies is they always have stunning soundtracks, and this movie really DOES! the dancing-and-singing thingy in this movie really ROCK, and definitely one good choice if you're bored of listening to the pop music offered by high school musical (although i am not, hahaha) besides, joe jonas looks really DAMN COOL in this movie, hahaha. ahem.
2. 27 DRESSES
actually the idea is pretty cool, talking about a bridesmaid who deserves a lifetime achievement award in the world of weddings since she had been a bridesmaid in 27 weddings for her entire life :D. unfortunately, the story went like any usual drama and it's so easy peasy to guess the end of the story. but dont worry, our eyes will be refreshed during watching this movie because of the beautiful dresses (trust me, the dresses are just AWESOME, luuuurrrrvvvveee 'em!), beautiful katherine heigl (i cannot believe she's 30 already! she looks like 25 to me. anyone disagrees?), and - of course, dude - james marsden, since he is the creamiest, hahaha. overall, its still worth to watch.
3. WHAT HAPPENS IN VEGAS
Honestly, at first i wasnt interested at all with this movie, i even underestimated it by thinking that this was such a regular romantic comedy movie and there's nothing special in it. Just because i got bonus of one dvd by renting six dvds, finally i chose this movie to be the bonus. besides, ashton kutcher has been my favorite since like i was in junior high school, so i thought at least i still could have a good eye-refresher (uh damn please, AGAIN :D). and u know what, after watching this movie, i completely changed my mind. this movie is great. altho its not that superb, enough to say that the movie is great. this movie could be veeerrry funny at the beginning, especially the tricks they got and all, and became veeerrry romantic at the final scenes. i totally got stunned by the one and only adorable ashton because of what he did in the very final scene (i ALMOST cried just because of looking at his face in that scene! daaaammmnnn ashton you stole my heart!), and it makes me want a guy who will do the same thing to me, huhuhuhuuuww...
4. DISTURBIA
Ummm... good but not that special. impressive but not that magnificent. in conclusion : a thriller which is not that thrilling, because i still put panic room as my standard of thriller (which may be too high :D ). the idea is pretty good : the boredom of a teenage home-prisoner who found it fun to do "spy-ur-neighbor"-ing that led him to danger just because he accidentally found out that one of his neighbors was a serial killer. one thing that impressed me much about this movie is the gadgets, especially the home-prisoner-detector which was used on his ankle, whose lamp will stay green when the prisoner is at home. when the prisoner is out of the houseyard, the lamp will be turned to red and the police will be alarmed at the same time. cool! havent seen any of them in indonesia nor malaysia :P
5. THE LOVE GURU
ok, i have to admit that before watching this movie, i expected too much and underestimated it at the same time. well, i had high expectation for this movie since this is mike myers' and he's well-known for producing good funny movies. at the same time, i underestimated this movie because after seeing the trailer, i was thinking that this movie would end up as a movie with disgusting sexist jokes (come on, it has jessica alba in it!). sooo, after watching the movie, now i can say that i was totally wrong. wrong in both the high expectation and the underestimation. this movie did not end up as a movie with disgusting sexist jokes, altho the main point was about the struggle of guru pitka as a love guru to bring a hockey player named darren roanoke back together with his wife, stephanie, who left him just because of another hockey player who got bigger 'thing' (uh damn, you know what i mean) named "le-coq" grande without having him to have bigger 'thing', hahaha. really, at first i thought those kinda stuff would go disgustingly just like, lets say, superbad. but i was wrong, this movie really made me laugh because of the jokes. and believe me, justin timberlake played really good here as "le-coq" grande. altho i admire him so damn much in the real life, i could hate him so damn much too when i watched him in this movie. it rarely happens to me, because everytime my favorite actor becomes the antagonist one in a movie, i'm still on his side, but not this time. wow. good job then, JT!
6. JUMPER
i have one word to describe this movie : DAMN! this movie is just DAMN cool, DAMN impressive, DAMN amazing! there is no such bad side or good side in this movie. no antagonist nor protagonist. and the story, uh wow, my heart could not stop beating quickly in those 90 minutes. the ending is unpredictable for me, since both sides (jumpers and paladins) are equally strong. your eyes will also love this movie because the director really knew how to capture all of the cities at their excellent angles, while the special effects used are just breathtaking. i believe that having a story about people who can go anywhere they want in this world in just a blink of an eye (that's why they are called jumpers, they can just 'jump' everywhere they wanna go!) would cost such a bomb, but the dollars spent for this movie were just really worth it. a must-seen movie for those who love sci-fi! for those who fall for full-of-intrict-love-drama, erhm, this movie is definitely not in your rack. ohhh one more, hayden christensen, you ROCK, MAN!! :D
7. DEFINITELY, MAYBE
oh gosh, this is such a goooood movie. the story started when maya (played beautifully by abigail breslin) asked her dad, william hayes (the sweetheart ryan reynolds) how he and her mom met. instead of telling her the usual story, will told her his lifetime love story which included three girls and asked his daughter to guess which one her mom was. unlike any usual romantic drama i've ever watched before, this movie has unpredictable ending. the quotes are just so inspiring that i have an idea to put some of them in this blog someday, or even write a post about it. definitely, maybe :P
as you can see, i didnt rent any indonesian movies. not because i dont love local products, i have a lot of them in my harddisk, trust me. i decided not to rent any of it because i can download them from youtube and i think i can download them during my facebook-and-friendster-checking-routine, so i allocate the money for renting more movies that i cannot download from youtube. hmm, maybe i will give some reviews of them in this blog. MAYBE :)
well, i still have one month of holiday to go, gotta rent more dvds then. more reviews coming up, soon! :)
