The Treatment (2014)

watch out the pedophile network

[16 June 2014]

I went to watch this movie because the three reviews here praise the film so good ... first it's foreign language film and sometime the subtitle didn't help much for deliver the true translation ... but something about this movie, because I am more focus to the plot and the character rather than watching the subtitle, something that drew me deep and deeper till I forget it's just a fiction. It is really a masterpiece because it would tremble your feeling and let it hang by the end of the movie.

I praise the directing, the actors, and the screenwriter ... because they bring more on the table ... i didn't expect that this movie is good but it turned out really really good. Somehow the movie gave me creep to think that pedophile it's kind a network passed to another one and the next thing you know ... you're on the same roof with pedophilia ... gave me a goose bump, and I will never forget this kind of movie ... because the ending is hanging. I wonder what's happen with nick's brother ... that stressed me out.

I recommended to all of you who still not sure to watch this movie ... do watch ... and do experience what a really great movie is ... and don't forget to leave a review whatever your feel about the movie. because myself from skeptical turn to praise this movie.

bravoooo

The Pact (II) (2012)

an awe turn awful

[4/10 · 2 February 2014]

I happen to have a chance to watch this movie in theatre in midnight show … and I am shock that only five audiences attend to watch this movie.

After reading all reviews in IMDb actually there's a split reviewers that said this movies is bad and some really praise this movies. But after I watch it … I think I need add some review.

This movie could have been great if only .. just only if had a good "SCRIPT" there I said it, because everything is all good, I mean the story actually good just bad screenplay and poor story development … the actor play very well … good directing and cinematography. So the whole movie kind of hang and not in a good way.

I wanna love this movie, but I think the movie is fail … sorry. not recommended

Montage (2013)

A thriller that brings you tears

[10/10 · 13 December 2013]

I am so happy that I watched this movie ...

Not only just the great story, great acting, and great directing. This movie somehow move you at some point. I was blown away by how this story well written and put some message in it. At the end I was shed a tears and share deep feeling with main character when she hugged the tree and call her daughter's name as well as when the kidnapper told his story. I mean WOW ... some movie like this is very rare ... so you should see it for yourself.

I praised the writer ... director and actors ... to bring the gems into cinema. BRAVO

Pieta (2012)

The very dark revenge I've ever seen

[10/10 · 28 August 2013]

I always adore Korean movies ... simply because the script or the stunning act who left you an awe or just because the set and story that very quite that doesn't need any effects at all ...

This movie has no exception ... great script, act, cinematography and of course brilliant directing who bring this masterpiece. I am shock through the scenes and never expected that kind of story ... yet I am still haunted till now and question myself (Specially the dark revenge of a mother) ... and I think this is the best dark movie I've ever watch.

hunger for more watch another Kim Ki-Duk masterpieces.

Aftershock (2012)

I had high expectation for Eli Roth

[3/10 · 17 July 2013]

Well ... I always looking forward for Eli Roth's works. When I see the trailer I said "WOW". Then the movie comes out which I think similar to Hostel, friends in vacation with so long intro about the vacation. But the difference is ... it's not shocking like hostel did. Even I still had a goosebumps when I see hostel all over again.

I think this movie lost the twist and less scary ... there's no horror in it and definitely boring all of the scenes. I think the interesting scene was when Monica caught by Tsunami by the end of the movie ... which is why the name is aftershock.

Ah forget to mention Eli Roth's performance which is not bad. See the movie and judge by yourself.

Star Trek Into Darkness (2013)

The true entertaining from the second it starts

[10/10 · 11 May 2013]

Seriously ... This might be no new from this genre, but there's something about the story, the characters, even the effects that will blow your mind. Hats off for JJ Abrams to bring this coolness to the theater. And for the actors I really admire how well they dig into the characters and I praise Bennedict that plays pretty good in this movie and all the rest of the cast. and for the script it is well written and somehow I am really imagine how our grand grandkids would live those day ... it is capture well beyond my imagination and it's make me think. I always love movies that push me to think "it might be" and "what should I do". But this review is nonsense without you being watch the movie by yourself. You will find the pictures quite astonishing the second it starts and I bet you want more.

Mental (2012)

I bet Julie Andrews LOL if she watching this ....

[10/10 · 7 February 2013]

I didn't expect much for this movie except Toni Colette in it. and what a great surprise that I found myself laughing through out the movie ... even the ending makes me won't stop laughing ... it is actually great ending ... I never imagine cute song like "so long farewell" from the sound of music could be the perfect background in classical song while Toni Colette farting a fire on Elizabeth the first ... haa..haa.. oh my god. It did surprise me ... even the story is great, that we are all mental, who doesn't right? great message while being so entertain.

I hope Julie Andrews watching this, and all the lovers of "Sound of music" movie. Watch this, and I promise you, you'll laugh until it hurts.

Well done Hogan, what a really masterpiece ...

The Tall Man (2012)

The Best Movie in 2012 so far

[10/10 · 8 September 2012]

Honestly ... I watched this movie because Jessica Biel on it ... yeah just because jb, but it turns out the best thriller and twisted movie I've ever watched. The writing is an excellent, the cinematography beautifully shot, and the cast without a doubt gave their best performances ... and my heart for Jessica ... she's really really great.

I didn't know Pascal before and after I watched this movie, I searched every movies he directed ... Now is one of my favorite director ... can't wait the next movies by Pascal.

Great JOB

The Help (2011)

you is kind ... you is smart ... you is important

[10/10 · 31 January 2012]

The help ... I thought I am gonna watching about boring Stepford drama based on the poster ... instead I am watching the most beautiful drama this year ... I mean excellent writing and brilliant performances each of actresses ... no wonder one of the best picture nominee this year for Oscar.

I think this movie "the help" is a kind of movie who leave a hole to everybody who watched it, I am myself in an awe, sad, but also proud about the story ... when viola told the girl "You is kind ... You is smart ... You is important" Oh My God ... those lines are just hit me ... as a human I believe we are born kind because we have heart, I believe we are all smart but laziness is our own devil, I believe every single person in this world want to feel important. I don't know those line are exactly like in the book or not, but I think those lines are the message in the movie ... every colored maid at that time want to pass through to the youngest (white toddler) the true essence of life so when they grew up they can change the future.

My heart goes to Viola Davis for brilliant performance to bring the sad, afraid, and hope on those eyes ... I mean what an acting ... she may be lost for the doubt, but without a doubt the Oscar this year for the leading lady is hers and ... for the screenplay is worth an Oscar.

So ... moviegoers you need to see this film, this is really really really good ... when I said triple really ... it means best ever.

The Exorcism of Emily Rose (2005)

Excellent Quality of Film

[10/10 · 7 January 2012]

I was skeptical when my friend recommended to watch it back in 2005 ... for long long time I always ignore when I browse in horror section ... but somehow because it's Jennifer Carpenter on the cast which I love her on the "Quarantine" Okay maybe I'll give a try. From the beginning to the end it's thrill me and still on my head for a few days even I had to googled the true story of Emily Rose which is happen for real to a German's girl. I love this movie above my horror/thriller list, and still there's a question which is an unanswered on the film, only 2 movies that makes me had the same feel about this film "The Passion of The Christ" and "Eden Lake". That's makes this movie the best horror/thriller ever.
