Movieworm 2.0

as i promised, in this post i will add some my-kind-of movies.

the great gatsby
this movie was set in the 20's. it told a story about a rich guy named jay gatsby. he always made a big party every week at his house and all people around new york always came to his house without any invitation or uninvited. no one knew why he held this party while no one also never met him in person.

one guy named nick carraway was invited to his party - remember, no one had ever been invited by him. it meant a lot then? why was he invited? imma give you some spoilers here, so you'd rather be careful while reading this post.

nick carraway had a cousin named daisy buchanan. she was married. gatsby was crazy in love with her - they had ever been in a relationship before gatsby sent to a war. this was why gatsby always arranged a party every week, hoping daisy one day would come.

this buchanan family was such a troubled family - however this family had already resulted a child. the trouble was tom buchanan, husband of daisy, had an affair with someone named myrtle wilson. daisy already had a feeling that there was something distracting their marriage.

one day, gatsby asked nick to arrange a meeting between him and gatsby. after the meeting, they started to fall in love with each other again. daisy always made a time to visit gatsby's house and therefore, gatsby never held a party again. his dream came true.

tom knew about his wife's affair. he felt jealous. he wanted to get rid of gatsby. he tried to find the background of gatsby. where did his richness come from?

the fact was that gatsby came from a poor family but he tried and worked like selling beers to get money. he was such an optimist guy. i'm inspired by his spirit, truly.

however, tom told lies to daisy about gatsby's how-to-be-rich. daisy was stressed out and she accidentally hit a woman with gatsby's car while going home - that woman was tom's affair. she died. tom was shocked when found out her corpse. he insulted gatsby for hitting his affair, which made myrtle's husband became very mad.

this story ended with gatsby's death. this story was so perfectly compiled, like how nick actually knew everything about gatsby and the buchanan family plus a plot-twist that made us thought that the buchanans were such evils. the plot was great and this movie's worth an oscar - for god sake, LEONARDO DICAPRIO AND TOBEY MAGUIRE MY SPIDERMAN.

now you see me
i don't know how to express this brilliant movie. this movie mostly told about 4 magicians who fought corruptors by stealing their money and gave them all to the folks, like robin hood. but seriously their tricks were genius.

they were, at first, some amateur street magicians, but they were gathered by 'the fifth magician'. they did 3 incredibly huge shows. the police always tried to catch them, but failed.

the point of this movie is to find the fifth magician and catch the magicians. the plot-twist was incredibly unpredictable. for your information, morgan freeman took a part in this movie and that made me think that it was him, who was the fifth magician.

their trick were f@&#ing genius. you guys need to watch it.

black swan
the horror and the plot were really catchy. this is such a psychological horror thriller movie, so i love it! "i feel it, perfect, it was perfect."

well, i haven't watched any other brilliant movies. i'll make some others tho!

Movieworm

most people i know are bookworms. i love books, well novels. but i'm not crazy of them. i usually read novels which gonna be made to movies because i already know the actresses and actors who gonna play as the books characters.

i love movies damn much. i love such anti cliche movie. to tell you the truth, i hate such movies ended with "happily ever after". i mean, i do like happy ending, but i don't like such movie which i can predict HOW it's gonna be ended - i'm not really interested in predicting an ending while watching a movie, but if it's predictable, it'll suddenly pop in my head.

if you guys have already watched silver lining playbook played by jennifer lawrence and bradley cooper, you must be knowing the ending which ended with a happily-ever-after ending. i could predict how the movie gonna end even when the movie hadn't reached the climax. i must appreciate jen and brad's acting tho. they were incredible in that movie.

i'm gonna praise the movies which have some mind-blown plot twist. like struck by lightning. written and played by the genius, mr. colfer. sorry but i've gotta say it actually (also) deserves an oscar. mister colfer's acting was priceless and the plot was awesome. it wasn't cliche and was meaningful. it could bring your tears out.

maybe i should just give out the list of my-kind-of movies.

harry potter & the hunger games
too brilliant to review.

star trek into darkness
my hands shook while watching it. it was incredibly spectacular. imma give you some spoilers so beware.

the plot twist was awesome. i was almost tricked when khan started to cry because his sleeping-friends were gonna be exploded along with the torpedos. i thought he was the good guy seriously. i regretted to predict that it really was marcus who was the bad guy.

maybe there were a bit of lacks in the movie like, marcus' daughter, carol marcus, had ever said "i'm ashamed to be your daughter" or something like that. she had also thought that it was her father who was the bad guy. then khan killed marcus and i didn't see any father-daughter relationship at all after that. she should've realized her fault over that strong sentence.

i love this movie because i didn't see any sexual attraction in it. but many audiences feel a bit upset over carol marcus underwear-scene. it didn't give any meaning to the scene even to the movie, but i thought it was meant to be - can i call it - as comedy. it didn't turn me on at all.

overall, the visual effects were nearly perfect. you've gotta watch it. feel the shock.

struck by lightning
just like i said before, it was anti-cliche and meaningful. the movie begun with carson phillips struck by lightning and dead. overall the movie is like a flash-back when carson was still alive, before struck by the lightning. it was full of brilliant sarcasms, beautiful quotes. well thanks to mister colfer.

shutter island
this movie was freaking mind-blown. leonardo dicaprio's acting was amazing - why hasn't he got any oscar already? - and you're gonna end the movie by saying 'wtf'.

the ward
just like shutter island. it was mind-blown. it was much more horror than shutter island but i've gotta say the plot twist was unpredictable and yes, i ended it with 'wtf'.

the shining
IT WAS CREEPY.

the dream house
it's a story about a person who got a mental disorder just like shutter island and the ward. it was played by agent 007 - it's daniel craig for god's sake. in my opinion this movie wasn't as creepy and sadistic as the ward and shutter island. this movie was pretty emotional. the plot twist was brilliant.

maybe if you guys have seen the poster, it looks creepy. but actually the movie isn't as creepy as the poster. it won't bring you a nightmare. i can say this movie was touchy. i watched this with my friends at school and we were like 'aww no' when the whole craig's character's memories finally gone with the fire - just watch the movie already to know what i meant about 'his memories'.

rectoverso
this is my favorite indonesian movie. although i've read the book - which is better than the movie - but it's worth to be watched. this movie is about 5 separated unhappily-ever-after love stories.

a little thing called love
another asian movie i'm crazy about. mario maurer was totally handsome in this movie. it's a thai movie. the plot twist made me cry.

you are the apple of my eye
to be honest i'm not really crazy of this movie as i'm crazy about a little thing called love. but i love the anti cliche plot. another romantic and also touchy movie to watch.

i'm gonna add some more if i have the time to watch. bye.
