Dirty War

No war is clean. There is no holy war. And most definitely no war in which one side is right and the other wrong, even if the war against terror.
World political landscape changed since 2001, first. Suicide attack the WTC collapse two make so many people shocked and condemn the Taliban / Al-Qaeda / terrorists who are behind this incident. Immediately rule America with George W. Bush declared war in the new millennium: the war against terror. The attack was carried out in Afghanistan, devastated porandakan states in their efforts to find, capture, and judge Osama Bin Laden. Not stopping there, the Americans pursue the war in Iraq and overthrow of Saddam Hussein's regime in the state. Strangely though Bin Laden was dihabisi in 2011 and the war against terror has also stopped growing and even all over the world.
What really happened?
Jeremy Scahill, an investigative journalist, is a dozen years covering American war since the last decade. They want to know what makes this crisis of the war against terror is not also endless. For guys who want to know what investigative journalists, they are not just journalists who report the news but also the pursuit of sources and dig the facts, including the facts of corruption that sometimes want to be buried with it. Scahill first find strange when viewing the details of the attack the night (night raid) is so ambiguous. From there he discovered the startling fact (scary?) That soldiers, American soldiers often raid villages to arrest people they suspect are involved with the Taliban / Al-Qaeda / terrorist groups. Sometimes without evident whether it connected or not, the people of Afghanistan that unfortunate dihabisi.
These findings make Scahill trying to dig deeper and find more facts tease conscience. That the American attack not just limited to the two countries of Afghanistan and Iraq alone but also extends into the range of countries that do not actually involved in the war in the beginning, such as Yemen and Somalia. This can be seen from both sides. On one hand, America would stop acts of terrorism before they happen (kill people who are potential terrorists) but the other side would not that make America a country so pretentious set policy? And one more thing: the hatred of many people in America who acts arbitrarily without willfully what Americans have created their own enemy?
Richard Rowley created this movie with Jeremy Scahill base composition book titled the same. Unique as the author of this book Jeremy Scahill also plunge into the narrator in this story. Salute to the courage of the crews in this movie because of what they do is something that is very dangerous. Scahill is not afraid to plunge filming in dangerous places where when there are errors, they can die. This threat is not just coming from a foreign land when they visit the site or follow the war with the African warlord, but also from the land of America. Obviously Rowley and Scahill were digging wrack unwanted by the government to repeatedly Scahill get threats from the mysterious.
Speaking of this movie done very well so I do not like to watch a documentary film but really are watching a thriller movie where the fate sang espionase indistinct figure will be safe or not (spoiler: Scahill certainly not dead!). Gray palette used by Rowley in the frame of this movie also passes mengamplifikasi dejected mood of this film. One of the most poignant irony worn by Scahill in explaining how dangerous strategy when America continues is a figure Anwar al-Awlaki. Figure Imam America is a controversial figure because of the early occurrence of the tragedy of 9/11 it is still a state of peace between Muslims and Americans. But with the rigors of the American action on behalf of Islam, al-Awlaki became resentful and finally become increasingly vocal against the Americans, something that could lead to the inclusion of its name in the list of terrorist fugitive Uncle Sam.
So my verdict is ... I really hope that the movie Dirty Wars is watched by more people. This documentary film is a film that could open the eyes of the tragedy behind Terroryang didengungkan War on America since more than a decade ago. Is America now precisely the terror that they want to fight first? Or terror would never end because while fighting a two anteknya America inadvertently sow the seeds for a new terror stooge?
Score: A-

Note: Confidential trusted movies like this and The Act of Killing failed to win Best Documentary from the Academy Awards last year's accomplishments. 20 Feet from themes like Stardom very clean and attains security which makes it the winner.

Dawn of ThenPlanets of Apes

When Tim Burton gush reboot movie Planet of the Apes in 2001 and people thought that this franchise is up. It is true that the film was a success at the box office but critics responses were lukewarm and fans who do not like to make 20th Century Fox decided not to continue this franchise. Exactly 10 years later reboot once again made ​​by 20th Century Fox at the time had a much more advanced technology. Attend Rise of the Planet of the Apes by Rupert Wyatt's new director received and well liked by critics and by the audience. 20th Century Fox also realized that this film has the potential to be a franchise and a sequel was committed by them.
The journey is not easy to work on the sequel. First of all director Rupert Wyatt's film is no longer gush replaced by Matt Reeves. The second actor James Franco and Freida Pinto was no longer belong to this project was replaced by a trio of Jason Clarke, Gary Oldman, and Keri Russell. Three years after the first film, Dawn of the Planet of the Apes was released with the praises from critics who claim that this is a sequel that is not less slick (some claim it even better) than prekuelnya. So as if the quality of the Dawn of the Planet of the Apes?
The film opens with a continuation of the ending of the first film in which the simian virus Flu (ALZ-113) endemic throughout the world, killing the majority of people were there. Ten years passed from the first film and almost no human presence in the world. Instead Caesar along with the monkeys that he release of the first film is now live and evolve on the outskirts of San Francisco's urban forest. They form a separate community and live peacefully passed their days. In this place as a leader in power Caesar and he must divide his time leading the ape and educate the teenagers: Blue Eyes.
However, the peaceful days of the apes coming to an end when a group of people to come through their territory. It turns out that although the majority of people are already clear eradicated by Simian virus flu, there are some groups of people who survive due to be immune to them. This group of people living in the remains of the city of San Francisco and debris through the territory of the apes with one goal: turn on the generator to provide enough energy man on with their lives. Human desire is met with two reactions there. On the one hand, Caesar wants to let them do their activity, then let man and ape resume each other's lives. On the other hand Koba is first treated by a vile man still hold grudges and do not want humans through there. This conflict makes the apes split ...
The first thing I noticed in this film is how good the motion capture technology of WETA. Many years this technology has been used in many films and he is in the spotlight once again in this film. In the first 10 minutes of this movie does not even have a human actor in it, as if to show how brilliant the technology of WETA now. Of course I must not forget to mention how good the performance of Andy Serkis and Toby Kebbell in this movie. Both performed miserably in their role as Caesar and Koba and this ties into the lives of monkeys for Dawn of the Planet of the Apes. Given these two monkeys do not rely on how much talking and a brief grunt and body language, gestures from Serkis and Kebbell very realistic style monkey made ​​me very impressed. It is sad that the jury had not yet realized the Academy Awards that Serkis's performance is very decent rewarded with an Oscar nomination.
Often times in the film that is dominant with other species where human characters became penganggu. Remember the Godzilla character Aaron Taylor-Johnson and Ken Watanabe just so penganggu alone? Dawn of the Planet of the Apes managed to avoid a similar fate, though not very successful. Among the three main actors in this movie: Jason Clarke, Gary Oldman, and Keri Russell, only Clarke who has more time to perform so successfully built relationships with Caesar; be a substitute for the character of James Franco in the first film. Keri Russell unfortunately here as Freida Pinto be the only sweetener and just a love interest for the main protagonist. Sadder still is the Gary Oldman character here as marginalized with very little time to appear. It is unfortunate because Oldman actually had the capacity and charisma to become the face for the men in this film: the equivalent of Caesar. This is what makes me feel that the film is sometimes too hasty in storytelling and in resolution despite a duration of more than 2 hours.
However, apart from a few minor flaws that I do not have any other complaints against this movie. Dawn of the Planet of the Apes (and prekuelnya) is proof that summer movies do not have to just be a spectacle with utter mere brains. In the summer it feels new movie Edge of Tomorrow and the Dawn of the Planet of the Apes are challenging the audience to think while watching it also invites the audience to think about the social implications brood raised by the film. The dispute between humans and apes, for example is an analogy of a dispute the two nations that are difficult to accept each other and real examples in the real world is too much for me to mention. Could it be because the music is composed by Michael Giacchino (Lost, Up, Star Trek) also reflect that in each of the music track?

So my verdict is ... Dawn of the Planet of the Apes continued foundation built by prekuelnya, bring it to a different place (but not loss of identity), then back to give tease a potential audience will be the third film. If the third film has a quality as good as first two films then I will not hesitate to declare it as a trilogy reboot one of the best trilogy of all time. Hopefully!

Rio 2

Studio Blue Sky have a big problem: they do not have animation in addition to the Ice Age franchise. When compared with the two biggest contenders: Pixar and Dreamworks, Blue Sky certainly can not compete in a number of their franchise. Dreamworks had at least three franchises: Kung Fu Panda, Madagascar, and Shrek (and this year will grow again denganHow to Train Your Dragon) while Pixar began to squirm and preparing a sequel to all the hits after hits-connection stories from Monsters Inc., Cars , and Toy Story reaping huge success at the box office.
For Blue Sky biggest problem they are looking animated film that can become a franchise. Let's look at a row of existing movies from this studio outside the Ice Age and Rio: Robots, Epic, and Horton Hears a Who. Robots and Animated Epic is less demand which no one interested in seeing the sequel. On the other side of Horton Hears a Who is a stand-alone animation of Dr. Seuss, not allowing also to be made animations. From the business perspective of course, the choice fell to Rio, their animations are released in the year 2011 and quite a big success at the box office.
Once again sits as a director Carlos Saldanha and restore the voice talents of the first film: Jesse Eisenberg, Anne Hathaway, Jamie Foxx, George Lopez, everything is back again in this movie. They digabungi with new voice cast is a mix of artists and singers, call Andy Garcia, Kristin Chenoweth, and of course Bruno Mars. With a row of all star names as filler sound, can Rio 2 reap the same success as its predecessor?
This film takes place several years after the first film ended. Now, Blu and Jewel live happily together with their three children near the home of Linda and Tulio. When Linda and Tulio make nature expedition to the Amazon jungle they found evidence that the blue bird species (Spix's macaw) have not been fully extinct and living in hiding in the forest. Blu, Jewel, their three children, and his friends set out for an excursion to the Amazon and found out that they did not own. More surprising was the father was still alive Jewel in Spix's macaw giant community in the Amazon jungle.
While Jewel and children can instantly adapt to life in the forest, Blu is more difficult because since childhood he was raised by Linda and live like human beings. Blu growing distress when realizing Eduardo as Jewel's father is not too happy with it. In the middle is actually a problem of the whole community Blu blue bird there was in jeopardy because illegal timber cutting occurring in the Amazon jungle. Is Blu can save his people?
Strongest points in the animated movie Rio 2 is still colorful. Saldanha, the director, a native of Brazil is cleverly realized that the exotic birds is certainly rich in color and will make kids excited to watch it. Tribal mix samba music and stomping was used to make Rio a favorite. Who forgot the song Real in Rio that seemed to encourage us to dance to participate in festive carnival? Rio 2 still have this element although slightly lowered since the setting is actually no longer in Rio but Amazon. After all the songs of this film still breathe a mixture of pop, tribal, and samba. If you liked the first film music you will like the songs in Rio 2.

For the plot of the story itself I feel Rio 2 is too busy with the various sub-plots that the story as lacking a clear focus. I admire Carlos Saldanha is still trying to enter the old characters in the film (including Nigel) while introducing new characters in it. However, the results can sometimes be the movie Rio 2 were too busy jumping from one scene to the next with the story of each and every character that exists. In one scene we see how Nigel would pursue Blu, then jump to Blu struggling to adapt to his new life, then jump again to the problem of illegal forest cutting, and so on.

The Other Winner

Apparently Captain America overpowered by a group of women. After three weeks enthroned atop the box office, some observers predict that Captain America is still able to continue its previous peak in the sphere of human sang spider swung into theater next month. Unfortunately, not until the next Spidey The Other Woman was first ejecting the captain of the top box office. The opening weekend is approaching 25 million USD, this is a success for the movie stars Cameron Diaz, Leslie Mann, and Kate Upton. Income this movie is probably still continue to grow in the coming weeks is not a lot considering the summer offer options for women.
In the second stage does not mean Captain America suffered heavy losses. With the decline pretty minimal, the total of the sequel to Captain America now reaches 225 mln USD. This total is greater than all the movie MCU (Marvel Universe Cinemated) outside the Iron Man trilogy. Captain America abroad can also clap the chest because his income will soon pass the 700 Million USD (aided by revenue in China who pass 100 Million USD over the town). Total size is not only bigger than Thor 2: The Dark World and the first two Iron Man films, but also the Man of Steel from DC. Yes, Captain America is the superhero formerly class B of the iconic Marvel superhero will pass only DC top ranking. Quick public no longer just concerned with the announcement of the Justice League movie.
Two new films appearing this week but not as successfully. Brick Mansions is a remake of a French 13 Banlieu still starring David Belle as one of its main stars. On the other side of the main stars of the most interesting note here of course Paul Walker, who died tragically last year. Brick Mansions and Hours (not shown in the theater) is the last two films in the resume sang actor Paul Walker before filming Fast & Furious 7 and killed while filming before the end. I was sad to realize that soon we'll never have the opportunity to watch the actor on the big screen. The Quiet Ones movie really appropriate title because no one was watching it in the theater. It's really quiet at the box office can only get 4 mln USD for opening weekendnya. It will not last long after summer tergencet films which will soon appear rob quota mast.
Transcendence experience a really great town. Total outstanding reached 20 million USD is a blow for Johnny Depp and I'm sure will make many investors wondering if the salary of 20 Million USD for the actor is still fast on this one. If I were I would immediately dismiss Depp agenku as its melibatkanku in dilapidated projects.

Outside the top 10 there are two movies that I want reportasekan development. First: Frozen. I promise this will be the last report for this film because this is the last milestone skipped this movie. Frozen finally reached the figure of 400 mln USD for playback in America. Second: The Raid 2 - hooligan. Unfortunately for the sequel to the action film from Indonesia. Boro-boro exceed income from prekuelnya, it even can not reach the income from prekuelnya!

Getaway

The film with the theme of the car is currently a trend after the franchise Fast & Furioussukses big at the box office. Of course that means that Hollywood wants to try to raise funds by issuing films were similar but not identical. In the year 2014 there was a film adaptation of the best-selling game Need for Speed ​​while this year the director Courtney Solomon wants to try his luck with the support of three stars across generations: Jon Voight, Ethan Hawke, and Selena Gomez. Instead able to capture the market of the three categories of the age of this film fails miserably. Is it because it is not a good movie or because he unfairly compared with serial Fast & Furious?
There is a reckless driver destroyed the city here and there like crazy. Many people dying after this crazy driver crosses paths with super high speed to destroy anything nearby. The policemen chased the mad skills but is too powerful for them to emulate. Police cars collide with each other and summersault destroyed. Who's really the crazy car? His name is Brent Magna and he does not do all these things because he liked the challenge of adrenaline. Brent did this because he was forced by a mysterious wife hostage. This mysterious man threatening if Brent does not do what he asked then his wife will be killed. Brent inevitably forced to obey the orders of all kinds - including when he was told to do stunt-crazy stunt earlier.
State of Brent becomes more complex when the car he was riding was almost robbed by a little girl. The robbery failed and the girl became an additional passenger in the car Brent. In the center of the monitor camera in the car both have to think hard how to escape from a mysterious man demand and to save Brent's wife being held hostage.
If I have to type and make a list of plot holes in this film then it might be longer than the movie itself so I will summarized in one sentence: the whole movie is full of plot holes. Every two or three minutes once I moaned while watching the sight of a plot hole in the film. I know films like this do not have to think about the plot but the scenario written by the duo Gregg Maxwell Parker and Sean Finegan instead of trying to make every plot hole so it makes sense but it makes the plot holes so gaping. This scenario does not deserve it feels like for a movie coming to the big screen and more appropriate for the B movie plot is a straight-to-video.
For the acting of Ethan Hawke, Selena Gomez, and Jon Voight were three can not do much with a bad script given to them. Nearly 80% of the film contains scenes that reflect on the fate of Ethan Hawke shouting or expression of panic, Selena Gomez menghabisan time to cry out of fear and covered his face with a bonus yelling "Noooo! Noooo! Do not do it !!! ", while Jon Voight? Although only his voice that emerged he appeared as annoying sound that makes the audience mood getting damaged while watching the movie.
The only thing that still help me, not to fall asleep while watching this movie is a car chase scene contest conducted by a different approach by Courtney Solomon. Cinematography takes many different angle-the angle of the car, outside the car, and around the car; something that explained the plot in passing. Seeing pursuit in this way is quite unique and I am so looking forward angle shot like that will be taken by the director in the next scene. If only supported with a stronger script may Getaway will be a spectacle more original and fun. One more plus for the director is the courage to destroy the cars (although the old car) in stuntnya so those fans of action movies antiquity must be satisfied by it.

So my verdict is ... beyond that something else can be discussed and reviewed by the duration of the film is less than 90 minutes. In an attempt to make a film of high bertensi throughout the duration of broadcast, Courtney Solomon brings spectacle it has never been clear from the beginning to the end, a bad script and a plot full of holes, and only saved by a unique way of shooting and different films kejar- chase the other cars. If longer than 90 minutes might actually my getaway from the cinema!

A Simple Life

A Simple Life is A Simple Movie. A life that is so simple and does not need to be complicated with all things unnecessary complicated. Do not sweat the small things ... maybe like it.
The film, directed by female director Ann Hui raised helper relationship - between the employer and Roger Leung Chun To, a maid who has served in the household of Roger for four generations hereditary. Inspired by the true story of the film is beautiful to describe the relationship between Roger and Chun To. Roger is a film producer who was busy here and there. However, although he frequently toured to China and he always has a home in Hong Kong where his loyal maid Chun To wait. To Chun seemed to have more than a maid. Because childhood caring Roger indirectly no affection to Roger as his own son. On the other hand so does Roger have a closer relationship with Chun To rather than his mother and other family members who have moved to the United States.
The relationship is simple and naturally awakened everyday was suddenly changed after Chun To, because of his advanced age, disease attack and had to be taken to the hospital. Because Chun To not have relatives (she was not married and had no children) while Roger everyday travel frequently because of the demands of the job To Chun was put in a nursing home. Roger, on the sidelines of busy, regularly visited Chun To place while the maid started to adapt to her new life there. Routines are changed. The simple life is still there.
I really like this drama. I feel very touched by the relationship of Roger and Chun To, so its natural flow. No, in this movie there is a scene that is not excessively dramatized in all its simplicity but rather that the film is able to charm me. Take for example the scene where when Roger and Chun To are tidying the room and found the photo while taking care of Roger Young Chun To small ... the scene was so simple but at the same time able to make me moved. Directed by Ann Hui is also so good at taking scenes with the proper perspective and strengthen the unity of Roger Chun To. Hui even brilliantly utilizes silence and residence on the screen as a meditative experience for the audience
Regardless of the relationship both Roger and Chun To be perfectly played by Andy Lau and Deanie Ip (no wonder both are rewarded with the best actor award artist of the year) the film also slipped a message about how sometimes people like to mess around with things that are trivial in life and teaches how peaceful life can be that sometimes we just focus on the important issues. Some people may judge drama A Simple Life as crisp because the pacing is slow and practically no conflict in it but to me it Hui nicely illustrates the simplicity of life in the city of Hong Kong is pacingnya so hurried a little while flicking behavior of some of its inhabitants are sometimes so indifferent to others and oriented materialism.

So my verdict is ... if you like the Hong Kong movie-quality drama that is not filled with commercialism message or war with a massive budget (but it sometimes utter) then watch the A Simple Life. It's one of the Hong Kong film - even Asian - I watch this decade.

Stoker

Birthdays India Stoker (Mia Wasikowska) is the 18th into something bitter when his father, Richard (Dermot Mulroney) was killed in an accident. India was forced to live alone with his mother Evelyn (Nicole Kidman) are unstable - until then came uncle who has never known before, Charlie (Matthew Goode) is mysterious.
review:
Stoker not only be writing debut for Wentworth Miller formerly known as actor Michael Scofield on Prison Break, but also the directorial debut movie in english first for Park Chan-wook (2003) were previously known for his film Old Boy. I myself have never watched movies Park Chan-wook, so forced Stoker can not compare with the previous films. And FYI, this film also be the last film for producers Tony Scott, who died of suicide in 2012.
(They say) the script is done by Wentworth Miller is not too strong, you may have guessed the mystery of what is actually stored by the Indian and his uncle Charlie. But herein lies the genius of a Park Chan-wook's Stoker capable of delivering into a thriller with a unique taste and a different: creepy, mysterious and (slightly) absurd - so that we can forget for a moment that there are flaws in the script. Stoker groove moves gently. Park Chan-wook clearly gives a mysterious atmosphere that we usually encounter in horror films Japanese and Korean: running so slowly - with a touch of dark and gloomy. Will seem boring and make sleepy indeed, especially for you who love horror movies full of fast-moving scenes and fisticuffs, explosions and blood splatters. But this is what makes Stoker able mengendapkanmu the mystery that is so powerful and mysterious - and I think that's the main point of a thriller movie! And when you are able to resist the temptation to guess how the film will unravel the mystery, you might be a little stunned with a twist that is stored neatly in the end. (Like me! I actually quite liked the story, although it seems most people feel the film is too standard).
Chan-wook, and Chung Chung-hoon as cinematographer presents a visually beautiful, poetic and melancholic - Mia Wasikowska semelankolis face. Angle-angle taken very unique and asymmetrical - supported by the Victorian property and Indian costumes are vintage. Coupled with the clink-clink really haunting piano, Stoker membiusmu success in fragments of epic. There will be awkwardness-awkwardness that feels weird, but that is what makes this movie so good! Awkwardness-awkwardness (or anomalies is not clear) it is a fantasy depiction of India Stoker, a beautiful girl, smart, - but freak, who has always felt that he was different from most people. It involves fantasy and sensuality that strange way of thinking which is not easily understood - that is delivered with so pretty. There will be a scene that seemed to jump with chaotic, but Chan-wook actually like composers who are able to produce irregular orkerstra fleeting but beautiful apparently listened.
Nicole Kidman clearly provide performance that did not disappoint in an unstable mother plays the character, although I do not think Evelyn characterization too explored too far. Similarly, Matthew Goode is capable of displaying a charming but mysterious figures. His smile made ​​it clear this heart melt, but if you see it in the dark, alone anyway, I also will likely run headlong (that means he did a great job, right?). But Stoker stage clearly belongs to Mia Wasikowska. India Stoker character is a character that apparently was created especially for him. With a sad face and still-look-like-a-teenager, Mia Wasikowska played very well in India displays a quirky character. He was able to display the character of India as being quiet, with a poker-face, and mysterious all at once fragile at the same time.
Overview:

Stoker is a drama-thriller that is riveting in her visual aesthetic with a cold and eerie aura. Chan-wook has obviously been quite bold in a touch of Asian atmosphere for western horror movie. Perhaps not everyone will enjoy the movie plot moves slowly - but that's what makes the atmosphere so mysterious Stoker. Mia Wasikowska has also provided one of the best performance by Stoker. Although the text may not be quite perfect (they say), but I still enjoy Stoker as a whole dish entertaining (read: stressful!).

The Raid 2 : Berandal

Continuing from the previous film, The Raid 2: thug still tells the story of Rama (Iko Uwais) who after the invasion mission in the previous series was then asked by Bunawar (Cok Simbara) to enter the world of mafia and crime led Wake (Tio Pakusadewo) by approaching her Uco (Arifin Putra).
review:
After watching The Raid, Gareth Evans and then know to make a sequel, I was fair to wonder: what else can ya Gareth Evans? Gareth Evans knows this very well. My question ditanyain certainly also by some contrived public gawking when watching The Raid. The Raid is a massive success for an Indonesian film, not only shook the world of Indonesian films previously so-so only, but in the international arena The Raid became one of the films to be reckoned with (hell yeah, on Rotten Tomatoes scored both fresh Raid above 80% !! Film Indonesia could enter this web aja uda is an achievement, let alone to be scored so well). The sequel to a movie that is so successful there are only 2 types: a successful and which suck. There is such a large load to be able to make a film that could be better than the previous film, but apparently arguably: Gareth Evans nailed it.
Gareth Evans is arguably the step up his game. The Raid 2 is a much more glamorous performances when compared with the previous films. If there is a grumble, grumble Raid contents suicide-murder charge, then in The Raid Gareth Evans 2 displays these stories and more conflict mbulet aka more complex. More complex groove is slightly confusing, especially for me the habit of reading subtitles so ga too nyimak existing conversation, but The Raid 2 is still fairly easy to follow - without making this film was utter. There are more characters in this film, with the background character more awakened. The number of characters is indeed cause some sub-plot that does important and one of the weaknesses of The Raid 2.
Talk about the antagonist, villain ever, Tama (Ray Sahetapy) is replaced by the figure of Uco (Arifin Putra) extraordinary handsome (* and hot. Hhhuuff, fans *). Tama figure is even more creepy and one of the tensions that exist in the lives of the film The Raid, but Arifin Putra itself capable of bringing a character with so brengseknya Uco - particularly because his character is not one-dimensional. I saw a bit of stuttering in acting Arifin Putra in the beginning, but over time his acting more and jerk (read: the better) as a traitor and a psycho. The next Villain Build (Tio Pakusadewo) featuring the evil aura that is different than Ray Sahetapy, with aura cooler, quieter, and looks normal - but actually more bastard.
For you who kepengen Yayan Ruhian cursing again, who previously played as Mad Dog, you can treat your longing for Yayan Ruhian rise again as a different character - the face and hair is much messier than before. Meanwhile, as a replacement for the character Mad-dog, Gareth Evans has prepared gag bear-bear three characters at once - with his lethal weapon, respectively, which is a men Bejo (Alex Abbad): The Assassin (Cecelia Arif Rahman), Baseball Bat Man (Very Tri Yulisman), and Hammer Girl (Julie Estelle). The third character is definitely more rock in the beat up innocent extras-extras (especially Baseball Bat Man that really messed up, and look behind cutenya obviously attractive hoodie estrogen me: p). The men also instantly cheered when Gareth Evans eventually incorporate fresh treats: sexy female character who unfortunately sadokis, Hammer Girl. Julie Estelle rocks it. Unfortunately the character of the killer is not too dieskpos deeper, so it seems important ga-'s important.
One of the most glaringly obvious is how Gareth Evans and his team, especially the cinematographer Matt Flannery and Dimas Imam Subhono, is much more developed in the process and build the setting and cinematography propettinya. Cinematography Raid 2 is so cool, artistic, with a touch tone look masculine. There is an aura of retro in a few scenes, and some of the fight scenes may remind Tarantino style. Indeed, Gareth Evans in realizing its ambitious cinematography is "too pretty" produce factual error that was not logical when the pedenya Evans brings the snow in the middle of Jakarta just for the sake of seeing blood on the white snow. This incoherence becomes a sort of "flaw" that makes people protest - ga when snow is essential at all. Not only because of the snow could fall in Jakarta, but if Jakarta can fit snow scene snowy why it talaga. Not only controversy snow, but when seen from the eyes of "authenticity Indonesia", there are some scenes that feel cool and quasi-redundant (eg policemen in jail) - and yes weve yet from the outset, the concept of "mafia" also felt it was too Hollywood .. But in my opinion, we should see The Raid 2 as a full entertaining movie - and if you managed to rule out non-crucial things that, you will pleased with so many awesomeness.
Well, now when it comes to at-blow, Gareth Evans obviously not want to just beat-style beatings Raid again - ditambahlah much more bombastic scenes and sadistic. The most fun scenes of cars on the highway with the city setting of the original (Yeah, busway terminals are made to fall apart), so that makes you chuckle in awe of the production process. This is definitely a big step for the world of Indonesian cinema. Less-bomb scene Boman hell wrote actually. If you want to see a lot of blood, Gareth Evans still spoiled with splattered blood and the level of chaotic and sadistic pain - but remain in touch of the cool cinematography. Unfortunately, the epic fight scene between Mad-Dog and Rama is already not happen (I still remember clearly how the cinema applauded after Mad Dog finally fell down) - but the epic scene between Rama and The Assassin arguably quite entertaining, especially with pure style martial arts are so thick and kerambit senjara the Assassin. So damn cool. Although arguably yes, this whole fight scene makes you think that the character of Rama is a really lucky guy - who just happens to the main character in an action movie.
Iko Uwais is clearly undergoing maturation acting, although I feel that his character somehow does not get too attached to the head. I myself do not feel emotionally attached to the character, this is different from the previous films. Perhaps because I was busy interested antagonist characters are more prominent. I think it should be more a lot more moments can be dramatized, and the character of Rama as a less expressive robot character.
Overview:

Once again I should say that Gareth Evans really know how to step up the game. After what he had done in the first film, Gareth Evans raise the quality of everything, especially in terms of story and cinematography. The Raid 2 is a glamorous show action movie that could easily make me fall in love (though I do not like action movies). Although still just so many elements that are too Hollywood, but Evans was able to assemble the elements Indonesiaan so well. But if in the end I was forced to choose, which is better Raid first or second? Hmmmm ... I have a better answer is Raid 1 Why? Actually, since the problem first experience wrote. However, as a sequel, The Raid 2 will not disappoint. For those of you who say that The Raid 2 is a bad movie, oh no, just hope I do not pray Hammer Girl comes to hit you with a hammer

Young Adult

Mavis Gary (Charlize Theron), a ghostwriter for ailing teen novel, and an email from a former high school boyfriend, Buddy Slade (Patrick Wilson) makes her return to her hometown with one inconsequential mission: win the heart of Buddy, the which is actually a happy - married man.
review:
I'm a big fan of Jason Reitman. His films are so lightweight but still has a unique strong impression (Reitman and musical tastes, especially in Juno and Up in the Air is awesome). Reportedly the latest movie, Labor Day which was released earlier this year did not quite succeed (Rotten Tomatoes only gives a score of 33%) and the score of the worst films Reitman. But I really like Reitman films such as Juno (2007) and Thank You For Smoking (2005) were quirky and witty - and Up in the Air (2009) is one of my favorite drama. Young Adult is Reitman movie is not the most remarkable, but Young Adult script that worked on Diablo Cody - who also wrote Juno has the same sense of humor - and it makes Young Adult remains as fascinating. FYI, Juno won the Best Original Screenplay at the 2007 Oscars I'm obviously not talking a sense of humor a la Adam Stiller or Jim Carrey, sense of humor this film is arguably a little sarcastic with the feel of a little black-comedy - if you're already watching Juno you understand what I talking about. Young Adult is a light comedy that will not make you roar with laughter, but there are many hilarious moments with a cool script that kick on target.
Young Adult is about how Mavis learn about herself. The characters are anti-heroes as the main characters are not going to like anyone. Mavis is a real bitch who is always an enemy in any movie set in a high school in Hollywood movies. He was successful and beautiful, but also so selfish character, superior and annoying. Who would like this type of person? And this is what makes Young Adult so interesting and refreshing - we are invited to explore the fragility of a Mavis that makes her friends jealous but actually nothing more than someone who is lonely and pathetic. There are many moments that are so miserable - or if arguably embarrassing from a Mavis. It makes me feel somehow have to hate or pity on Mavis. And then also raised the character of Matt, Mavis high school friend who seems to be in a different world with Mavis - a totally loser. Although both come from two different poles, actually united in the same loneliness. Matt suddenly became a kind of counterweight and contrarian  Mavis mission - and could be a good friend to Mavis.
Obviously, one of the reasons so vivid Young Adult is Charlize Theron. After watched her in Monster (a beautiful and sexy actress willing to turn into criminals lesbians are ugly), Charlize Theron is one of my favorite actresses. Somewhat disappointing when after inexplicably Monster Charlize Theron's movie career does not get better, she starred in the sci-fi / fantasy kind of Aeon Flux and Hancock, and the gag is too important a role in the movie Prometheus. Theron was able to bring a humane character Mavis is broken inside, but still still sucks. Another prominent actor Patton Oswalt as Matt is Frehauf, which is capable of displaying the character Matt is unfortunate and miserable. Theron and Oswalt are also able to show a strange chemistry, but dapet.
Overview:

Young Adult is not unusual pants Reitman movie before, but with a duration of 93 minutes Young Adult movie remains an entertaining and distinctive Reitman - lightweight but fun. Script written by Diablo Cody still intelligent, unique, and smartass. Finally a clear conclusion on the most brilliant moment of the entire film.

Labor Day

Henry Wheeler (Gattlin Griffith) lives with his mother, Adele (Kate Winslet) a depressive mother who had been divorced from her husband. Once when both were shopping in a supermarket when Henry met with a prisoner who has just escaped from prison, Frank Chamber (Josh Brolin) who then passengers stay in their homes - and predictably, the seeds of love grow between Frank and Adele.
review:
I've never said it if I am a fan of Jason Reitman - with his films poppy, lightweight and smart. But well, Labor Day is sort of the opposite of what was never done before in films like Reitman Thank You For Smoking or Juno. Labor Day is a fairly melodrama lilting style of a novel Daniele Steel and Nicholas Sparks, and perhaps this is what makes the score obtained in rottentomatoes quite a landslide, 33%. That's why I did not before watching expects too high, and while watching hoping to find defects what makes this movie gets pretty bad reviews from the critics. And guess what, although obviously not work Rietman Labor Day the most fun, but the film is not as bad as what dicelotehkan by critics. To me, Labor Day remains a romantic romance to watch.
Okeee, Kate Winslet as a depressive suburban mom is too cliche role for himself - repeatedly ex-wife's Sam Mendes to play the movie with a very similar role, call it Little Children and Revolutionary Road.Agak tedious indeed have to see Kate Winslet with expression and similar character, but I can not imagine another actress playing a more fitting as Adele besides himself. Dihadirkannya chemistry with Josh Brolin who plays Frank Chamber also so convincing. Frankyang looks grim but be gentle is the figure of the character "ideal father" who wrote desirable, so it is not difficult when Frank and Adele became the central figure who will be supported so that the audience both a happy ending love story.
Although at first glance like Labor Day romance between Adele and Frank, but the real Labor Day tells about the life of Henry, who longed for a father figure in his life were heavy - (13 years old and lived alone with a mother who is clearly unstable tough life). Frank figure dateng sudden uninvited and fortunately can be either be a father figure during the time he missed, and I think this is the most beautiful thing on the whole duration of the movie is almost 2 hours. Gattlin Griffith who plays Henry did not act with a very unusual, but he was able to show the innocence and melancholy sympathetic.
Setting the edge of town in the late 80s, with a yellowish color tone - is a portrait of a typical suburban American life that I obsesikan (I dream of living in the suburbs America * America should know! * - Sort of become part of the video clip of his Sprawl II Arcade Fire). This factor probably makes me quite enjoy Labor Day. Reitman mendirect Labor Day with the cinematography is quite beautiful with a rather slow tempo - and increasingly making Labor Day quite beautiful to behold.
So far I seem to like Labor Day, but not necessarily Labor Day does not have a disability. Slow groove is beautiful and melancholy, but on the other side of the groove slowly undermine the unity of the whole story - because as if Frank was present in the lives of Adele and Henry for months, not just 3 days. 3 days is too short and it seems impossible to make an incredible bond between Frank with Adele and Henry, yet never did Kate Winslet with Leonardo Di Caprio in Titanic. If there is a complaint that the emerging romance between the kidnappers and the victim was a kind of illogical Stockhlom Syndrome, I think it can happen if penculikmu is kind of sexy inmate Josh Brolin is a good heart - and yet romance is far more realistic than fall in love with computer program (by which I mean Her movie, of course).
In addition of course we missed an intelligent script and badass from previous Reitman films, with stories yangquirky and modern - that you will not find on Labor Day. Maybe Labor Day is the other side that wants to show that his career Reitman is not trapped in the films are almost similar, but arguably that Reitman forgot to show its fresh side in his films before. However, in addition to fault Josh Brolin who shaved his mustache (without the mustache looks ridiculous Brolin), overalls Labor Day for me is still quite beautiful.
Overview:

Screw the critics. Apart from a little bit keklisean lilting, Labor Day is a beautiful presentation of a Jason Reitman melodramatic. Chemistry Kate Winslet and Josh Brolin so vivid and convincing, and the spirit of Labor Day. You may be longing for fresh humor of the film - Reitman movie before, but it does not mean Labor Day is a bad movie. Not outstanding, but quite beautiful.

Blue Vervet


So far I had just watched a film by David Lynch, the director known for stylish surealisnya (aka absurd-ambiguous guaranteed to make the audience confused), ie, The Elephant Man (1980). Comparing The Elephant Man Blue Velvet, The Elephant Man is much lighter, humanist and normal, although shades of black and white is definitely not too modern for me who used to watch a color film. (* Read a review of The Elephant Man here). Blue Velvet is obviously more absurd, enigmatic and philosophical. According to the critics, Blue Velvet is one of the best works of seorangcreative-master David Lynch, besides Eraserhead (1977) and Mulholland Drive (2001). Thanks to Blue Velvet, Lynch gained his second Oscar-nominated The Elephant Man. (FYI, David Lynch has been nominated for an Oscar six times without ever winning)
Previously there was a little story about how unimportant I watched Blue Velvet. I watched it in the Thrill, a horror movie special channel on cable TV that is paid. You could say watching Blue Velvet in Thrill Thrill is a fatal error due to the rough and careless cut the whole scene is important in this film. The film is already obvious gag is even more unclear and lope for editing the own wishes. Yes, I do not blame Thrill entirely due to sexual material and violence in this film had to be censored for a general audience, but editing it would eliminate the essential essence of the film itself. So then I must watch the censored-scenes on youtube.
Blue Velvet is about the satire and irony, describe the normal world that seems fine in a small town that is safe and sound ~ but actually save the terrible mystery. This is in accordance with the quotes that some times it is said in the film: "It's a strange world,". Through the journey of a young detective pretended false bravado Beumont Jeffrey (Kyle McLachlan) is about to satisfy her curiosity due to the discovery of a piece of ear in a meadow, Blue Velvet brings us to the dark world that we never thought before: the story sadokis-masochistic, oedipus complex , kidnapping, violence and drug abuse.
Blue Velvet is a neo-noir thriller and successful makes you feel the same tension as perceived by Jeffrey leaders, through the eyes peeking from the cracks of the closet when Dorothy tortured by Frank. Scene was so disturbing to watch, and hard not to feel haunted by the sound of Frank Booth who suck the breath mask-odd drug. Please enjoy this http://movie.tvshow1.biz/LP/play.php?movie=0090756
Another scene is hard to forget the scene does not make sense with the song In Dreams of Ray Orbinson as backsoundnya (FYI, this song named Frank Candy Colored Clown). The first is a scene where Ben, Frank criminal partner Dorothy is holding a child. Ben singing lip sync the song In Dreams, accompanied by Frank's men were half drunk dancing on the sofa, and Frank dissolve in grief before then turns into anger. The second scene is the scene where Frank beat Jeffrey, with the same song played through the car tape, and a woman dancing is not clear at the top of the car. In Dreams song is a beautiful song if you listen, but combine it with scenes opposite of it all makes you stuck on an odd atmosphere.
Actually, Blue Velvet is not a fuckin awesome movie with a twist at the ending, the story itself is actually running quite linear. It did make this movie a glance looks so simple because you do not have to ask-tanyawho is the really bad guy in the movie. But in the hands of David Lynch, Blue Velvet is a masterpiece filled with philosophical elements of interest. A cult movie is after watching movies if you still want to talk and reveal the crazy ideas that want disclosed the director and script writer, and that's what happened to Blue Velvet. (Another example I think the cult movie: American Psycho. Read the review here).
Eccentricity belongs to Dennis Hopper who plays Frank Booth, and to successfully convince him to make you feel sad seeing the inhuman atrocities committed to Dorothy Frank. Frank the Oedipus Complex as well sadokis, and almost the entire phrase is never uttered a harsh word inserted.Please enjoy this  But interestingly ambiguous is the protagonist in this film, the character Jeffrey Beaumont and Dorothy Vallens yangsomehow can engage in sensual sadokis-masochistic relationship that is absurd. This apparently is the uncertainty of the gray area that wish to be on the protagonist Lynch who apparently also has animal instinct / humanist dark anyway.
There is another interesting philosophy that I read about Blue Velvet correlation with voyeurism or "peek pleasure". I read through the blogs that I found when googling (click here). Essentially the story of Blue Velvet growing due kengintahuan great sense of Jeffrey Beaumont, who actually desires of curiosity it does not give any impact on his life, other than he was just curious. Curiosity is what ultimately made ​​him hiding in a closet Dorothy, Dorothy peek at how strange sexual intercourse with Frank ~ where the scene is so thrilling but also makes the same curiosity. So it does not matter how often Frank shouted "Do not you fucking look at me !!", you're not much different from Jeffrey who was watching with mixed feelings (cringe at once curious).
Activity peek, sounds simple and (yeah) pervert, but apparently the store philosophy and menarik.Mengutip the blogs that I read, Jean Paul Sartre had expressed the philosophy that less is more referring padanatural settings. He said, if someone was in the room alone, then he is free to do whatever he wants. He is independent. However, when the person knows he spied through the keyhole, then as soon as he turned. He turned into someone who "wants to do" by people who peek. The interaction that occurs in 2 is a two-way relationship that objectify each other. But a peek at the activity, the relationship is unidirectional relationship, where the workman-peek into the object does not need to act like dimaui by the spy. And this is a social phenomenon that often hit us, or now more commonly called "of police". Who today does not like "ngepoin" social media pages of others, and quietly judge the heart? Gossip show so popular, because we are free to determine the privacy of others ~ no need to worry about the privacy of our own known to others. And who would have thought this profound philosophy there in lowly activities sorts peek? Regarding why the ear invented by Jeffrey (not the eyes, or other body parts), I think it is a symbol of connection with activities that are not much different to peek, that is eavesdropping.
In the final section, where Jeffrey was relaxing in his backyard, as if to imply that all the scary events that happened before was just a dream-a dream, for me is a contradiction of real life. I can catch: knowing and experiencing life events are much different from everyday life as if like a nightmare, but that does not mean it is not real and does not exist. Irony and contradiction Lynch was also presented at the end of the film where Lynch featuring footage sights suburbs safe and secure - which is looping from the beginning of the film - as if to convey that a bad life could also exist on the edge of town life peace.
Overview:

Blue Velvet is a masterpiece from the genius-director like David Lynch. It's an awesome classic and cult movie, both in terms of Blue Velvet as a genre film noir / thriller, and understand Blue Velvet as a unique work of art and philosophical ~ although the plot is running so simple and tend to be boring. Powered by the appearance of Dennis Hopper is sooo disturbing, Blue Velvet is one of the masterpieces of cinema that must you watch.

Iceman


When Donnie Yen become popular in the years 2008 through Ip Man he suddenly became the hope that the Hong Kong film industry was dying. The films of Donnie Yen is hope for them to create something slick and sensational. Unfortunately it became famous since Donnie Yen film becomes less good resume. Just think three best films ever worked Donnie Yen and I'm sure the answer is SPL, Flashpoint, and Ip Man is a film that releases all in when he was not known as it is now. Since that time the movies were released by him practically slick could be counted on the fingers. Ip Man 2 and Wu Xia films that are pretty neat, but in between hit and miss, Yen seems to make a lot more miss.
And miss it feels unbearable after three rounds of the following: Special ID, The Monkey King, danIceman. When first released my special ID happily assume that this will be as a complement in a trilogy of modern martial arts action from Donnie Yen - which unfortunately is not so. The Monkey King did not watch but I saw the trailer with no more slick CG quality of Indonesian sinetron movie I was interested to follow. Last is the Iceman is a remake of The Iceman Cometh, the 1989 film starring Yuen Biao.
In the film Donnie Yen role as He Ying, a general who lived in the imperial nurse. He was accused of being a traitor and working with the Japanese so hounded by the second brother (fellow) it: Sao and Niehu. In this hunt He Ying and her siblings were buried in the snow and fell asleep for hundreds of years. The three of them woke up in the modern era after it was discovered and is now being sold by the police chief, Cheung, corrupt. All three should live separate with their own way of adapting to a world much different from the time in which they lived then. In addition, all three are still searching for a mystical object that supposedly could turn back the clock.
This movie is really bad in ... everything. Donnie Yen is an actor who could never appear in a variety of emotions too much. Even the type in a good film is always a figure that is a lot of talk and a lot of hitting. In this film the actor is required to display a wide variety of emotions ranging from funny (which he lakoni with crisp) to appear serious (which he kaprahkan by appearing flat wrong). Even chemistry should be awakened by the main artist Eva Huang course entirely untapped. Between the rows of artists involved here only Wang Baoqiang are acting a little slick in some scenes although he still appears overakting.
The scenario was written by Stephen Shiu messy and never focused - as if written by people who did not graduate school is right to write scripts. Please enjoy http://movie.tvshow1.biz/LP/play.php?movie=2557256The story jumps from one point to another point without ever having a clear connection from one scene to another. In one scene of the movie is about the past of He Ying in the Ming Dynasty jump to another scene that tells the story of how He Ying tried to help the mother of May recovered from his illness, and later jump again to the other scenes are more absurd and unrelated to the story. My head was so sick and dizzy following the story.
Given Donnie Yen stands as Action Director of the film coupled with a budget of this film is unusually large (with hundreds of millions HKD devoted to this movie, Iceman is one of the most expensive movie production of Hong Kong) I really hope the action scenes of this movie. But it turns out I was again let down here. The action scenes in the film is quite minimal and poorly choreographed. Even the action scenes in the nightclub that became the highlight of this film was not at all memorable in my eyes, away from the fight scenes Donnie Yen in his films are good. Climactic scene of this film with car chases and Vespa (yes, vespa) takes crisp with a camera placement that is too much to wear close-ups so that makes it less exciting.
The most disappointing is the number of coarse CG used this film. How many times people in Hong Kong and Thailand must understand that the CG in Asia is still far backward from Hollywood CG quality. This means better movies like The Protector 2 or Iceman is DO NOT wear CG and use the original stunt. Please see dwilogi The Raid Gareth Evans filmed and you will realize how far the quality of the films of martial arts style that took the short walk over two films and compared with the martial arts movies that actually dare to work hard with elaborate stunt and prop.
As if sowing salt in the wound that has been sore, Iceman terminate this film with the ending ... I do not know. Disconnected so alone. There is no clear conclusion as Peter Jackson cut trilogy The Lord of the Rings and no smell cliffhanger conclusion ala Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest. There was only an abrupt ending that just happened as if the film is running out of time and budget cultivation. This film editor - as all the film crew involved - questionable quality.

So my verdict is ... after watching this movie with a heavy heart I declare that I am no longer a fan of Donnie Yen. I could understand if there is a bad movie or two bad movies in a row. But the three films? Uh, this does test the patience of his name dude!

The Amazing Spiderman 2


When the project reboot The Amazing Spider-man finally released in cinema screens in 2012 and the majority of the audience and critics claimed that it was filmed by Marc Webb is a solid superhero film work - but not required. Why should again repeat the death of Uncle Ben, Peter turmoil becomes Spider-Man, and many things were actually previously been excavated by Sam Raimi (and well) less than a decade ago? But there is hope for this project, they will work on Sony launched sequels continued her until The Amazing Spider-man 4 coupled with side projects and The Sinister Six alaVenom. Now after two years of sequel to The Amazing Spider-Man 2 was released. Without the burden of repeating the story of Peter becomes Spidey, whether by Marc Webb could escape from the shadow of Sam Raimi's Spider-man?
After the end of the first film, Peter and Gwen decide to continue their relationship. But they are always overshadowed and haunted by Gwen's father who is a manifestation of guilt Peter. Until the climax, Peter decided to cut his ties with Gwen and focusing on his work as the superhero Spider-man. Due to continuous tirelessly to help people, Spider-man were loved by the public of New York. Peter was starting his new life as a college kid at the same New York City superhero.
New threat to Peter appears again from Oscorp. Death of Norman Osborn becomes the beginning of the return of his son: Harry Osborn. Harry, who was a former friend of his met Peter back and establish their friendship rope that had once severed. But unfortunately for Harry, he also suffered from the same illness with his father so he secretly dying - and are planning something evil. Threats of Oscorp not only from the old pal Peter but also of Max Dillon. Max is an electrician who had never considered in Oscorp until one day an accident at work to change it as Electro.
Electro is a supervillain that malignant due to the electric force he can destroy the entire system of the city of New York. It certainly is a formidable opponent for the spider man one-one because he can even be baked spider man fried by the electricity! Peter is stretchable relationship with Gwen plus his desire to unveil the past of his father, if Peter can share all aspects of life as well without sacrificing anything?
They were hoping that The Amazing Spider-Man 2 could be a sequel superior to prekuelnya should prepare to be disappointed. Problems in this film is very similar to Iron Man 2 and Spider-man 3 first: he has too many villains in it coupled with a focus that is too fragmented because they want to build a bigger universe. In the duration of nearly two and a half hours of this movie still feels a rush and jump directly to explain this and that; some succeed and some do not.
The best moment for this film comes from Peter relationship with Gwen. Actor Andrew Garfield and his girlfriend in real life actress Emma Stone brought their chemistry is perfect on the big screen. Dialogue between them, their expressions and body language were so relaxed with each other makes them very believable as a couple. Add the background which is directed by Marc Webb from genres such as indie drama (500) Days of Summer and the results are the parts in the drama in this film is its strongest aspect.
There are plenty of other things that actually work in the film like small moments shown by Webb in the Spidey career. Spider-man moments helping children who bullied reminds us of the essence of the superhero character. Please remember that Spidey is a superhero street closer to the public than other Marvel superhero superhero. He's not Iron Man with The Avengers are a busy group involved the rescue missions the world, nor the X-Men are more busy infighting mutant race and could not help the man. Spider-man is kind neighbor and swiftly help you when you need. Little humor sprinkled by Webb also makes the tone of this movie is not too dark.Please enjoy this http://movie.tvshow1.biz/LP/play.php?movie=1872181.
So what is not successful in this movie? Unfortunately, many also. The number of characters displayed villain in this film (three) makes all else fails unearthed. Electro and Green Goblin get the most screen time, but the result was not slick. Max Dillon as Electro appear too pathetic but its conversion into a villain going too drastic. The same money with Harry Osborn. Background of Harry and his character was never explained to stray too far from the comic - make it so annoying and a little crazy. Dane DeHaan and Jamie Foxx are both talented actors in this movie but the scenario is really not giving them room to grow.
Webb also less skilled in capturing the action scenes in this movie. In addition to the first showdown with the Electro action scenes in this movie too ... looks like a video game. The scene where Spidey face Electro for the second time feels very rely CG and so less realistic; as we watch two game characters are swinging romp and fly-terbangan. The same money with a confrontation between Spider-Man and Green Goblin was too fast and less brutal and the most severe conclusion feels very ... in a hurry.
Last is the mystery of Richard Parker who had become the focus of a search of Peter. When the mystery is answered that ran through my head instead of "Wow, it turns out that the mystery is uncovered!" But rather "Huh? Just like that? So what's so we do not know? ". Unfortunately Webb dedicate too much time to dig this mystery (which should be included in the first movie only) rather than exploring the motives of the villains in this story.
So my verdict is ... for those of you who are expecting The Amazing Spider-man 2 is the gate opening into the larger world Spidey will get your hopes come true here. However, with the loss of a critical component in Spidey's life coupled with a lack of clarity as to where the gate to the world of Spidey bigger it will go, I am not sure you want to not follow the adventures of spider man further.

Edge of Tomorrow


Star Tom Cruise was already not as strong as they used to be in the 1990s and early to mid 2000s where almost every movie that he starred almost certainly able to break the 100 million USD. However, very exaggerated to say that Tom Cruise is now no longer popular. The fact is: the controversy surrounding the marriage and divorce with Katie Holmes, Scientology religion that was followed, and many more, Tom Cruise is still one of the most popular actors on earth whose name can be known by people all over the world. That is the reason why the big studios still dare to launch a big budget movie with his name.
After Oblivion last year was less successful, Tom Cruise once again tried his luck in the sci-fi genre with the film Edge of Tomorrow. Unlike Oblivion which is a sci-fi movie with the original scenario, Edge of Tomorrow is an adaptation of the Japanese sci-fi novel written by Hiroshi Sakurazaka titled All You Need is Kill. Please visit http://movie.tvshow1.biz/LP/play.php?movie=1631867.
When the invasion occurred on earth Mimics the troops from around the world united to fight it. Ironically though backed by military force even the best of human beings continue to experience defeat on the battlefield. State is slightly improved with the creation of an exo-skeleton armor coupled with a war symbol Rita Vrataski. William Cage is an army rank of Major but never go down to the front lines of war, it is a duty as long as the media mouthpiece of that entices young people to advance to the battlefield.
Unfortunately for Cage because one day his boss told him to go down to the front lines for the sake of more accurate coverage. Although Cage had tried to avoid the responsibility of yet he still dragged into it. As might be expected, Cage was killed on his first day just after he killed the two enemies. Luckily for Cage it is not just normal but kill Mimic Mimic with special abilities. And Cage gain new powers: turning time.
Cage ability in playing time whenever he is dead then raises a new question: where did this power come and Cage how to use this power so that he could help win the war against the Mimic?
Is a pleasant surprise while watching this film to see Tom Cruise performing outside her usual character stereotypes - at least in the early half of this movie. Cage's character is portrayed as a coward and want to own victory a little different from the heroic characters that can be played by the actor. Cowardly behavior of Cage coupled with their tendency to die repeatedly into humor material excavated by Doug Liman to make this film not merely serious.
War against Mimic who repeatedly ends with the death of Cage can sometimes remind gamers with the frustrating parts of a video game. Indirectly Doug Liman actually was giving homage to gamers. Gamers who do not understand the frustration dies repeatedly in a certain spot where we have to repeat that section over and over again in order to really get the feel and the new section with a perfect pass? Yes it feels like it, too, at certain moments to watch Edge of Tomorrow: playing games.
As usual the acting of Tom Cruise here is solid. We already know Tom Cruise feels. He is an actor who always perform optimally in any roles but ya got there just the limits of his acting ability. What a shame that in this movie-actor Cruise not get another artist who is able to emulate, not like Morgan Freeman in Oblivion. Here chemistry Cruise and Emily Blunt feels less explored and a sub-plot romance between the two did not help the film but instead disrupt it. I personally agree that this story is actually eliminated rather than just being a bully.
Another drawback of the film Edge of Tomorrow lies in its third act is oversized. After the initial two thirds intelligent film that throws a twist for the sake of a twist to the audience, the end and the climax of this film falls in the cliché Hollywood movies mostly. Because it's what makes the Edge of Tomorrow special than say, the films of other kinds invasion Battle: Los Angeles and Starship Troopers be lost. This is compounded by the climactic scene that feels mediocre. Quite disappointing considering director Doug Liman who is actually good at concocting including action scenes are exciting.

So my verdict is ... in spite of weakness in the final third of the film, Edge of Tomorrow is still a sci-fi movie that is fun and funny. Do not get too stuck on the novel / manga because surely there is a difference here and there but the make no mistake, this is an adaptation that shows respect for the material first.

Days of The Mutants


Fox studio executives are certainly looking forward to how this week will take place. Why? Because the studio is being films, namely: X-Men: Days of Future Past. It's no secret that Fox studio, in addition to Sony, is one of the major studio franchise minimal, despite having the biggest hit of all time: Avatar. After all, as James Cameron's Avatar has no plans to release the next few years Fox practically only rely on their mutant franchise to fill the line-up of live action Summer.
And unfortunately since X-Men: The Last Stand of the mutant reached its peak of popularity almost decade ago, these X-Men franchise has continued to decline from year to year. Various attempts Fox to again increase the curiosity of the public good by launching a spin-off series of preferred bertokoh most famous mutant Wolverine and reboot this franchise with X-Men: First Class repeatedly failed and the income from these films continue to decrease from the entry to the most recent entry . Please visit http://movie.tvshow1.biz/LP/play.php?movie=1838609.
The answer as you can see for yourself: quite successful. Film X-Men: Days of Future Past getting second best opening along the X-Men franchise, behind only X-Men: The Last Stand. This result is of course not that good considering this film has assisted inflation for almost a decade, additional 3D, IMAX screens and more. After all, when compared with the opening of the movie X-Men: First Class and The Wolverine yes of course better. Hopefully this positive trend continued by the X-Men: Apocalypse two years to come. The real strength of X-Men is also shown by the debut of 170 Million USD in the international arena, a figure that is very - very powerful.
Godzilla champion last week declined in both the international and domestic arena event, indicating that the critics did not taste the tastes of the audience. Well, I personally feel the film is very boring. After all, with the help of the state in which the Chinese and Japanese monster movie is not played there most likely will be able to penetrate the film is 500 million USD, even 600 Million USD. I still feel the decision of Warner Bros. gave the green light for a sequel as a step blunders. Not necessarily be as successful sequel reboot this time.
In third is the third duo from the movie Adam Sandler and Drew Barrymore. Unlike with The Wedding Singer and 50 First Dates are released at a time when the world is a rising star both comedy and comedy world's heyday, now both are comedy star who has been forgotten. Adam Sandler may still get successfully through Grown Ups 2 years ago but it is clear that the star has not faded as the decade from 2000 to 2010 in which almost every film, whatever it sebusuk, able to penetrate 100 Million USD. As I said, the audience became more and more clever and they can no longer be fooled by the cheesy Adam Sandler movie!
Instead smart comedy like Neighbors continue to get people's attention and on Tuesday or Wednesday will be successful through the 120 Million USD in the USA there. With the release of the comedy A Millions Ways to Die in the West revenues this movie is going to increase drag, but it is possible it could still penetrate 150 Million USD. Viewed from any point of view this is a film that is more successful and menguntung than that of the strip at the bottom ...
Namely The Amazing Spider-Man 2 Sony officials guaranteed to see the income of a headache this Spidey movie at the local and international arena. Do not be fooled words analyst stating that the film is offset a decline in revenue at a local event in the international arena. The fact is the only market where The Amazing Spider-man 2 get results is China rose significantly (approximately 40-50 Million USD) and that too happen because the film does not coincide with the release of The Dark Knight Rises as did China two years ago.
In other words: the spider man fans should really panic because The Amazing Spider-Man has become the Ordinary Spider-man!
The last thing I want to mention here is the success of Frozen finally - after six months of screenings - pass Iron Man 3 as a global best-selling movie in 2014 and became number five grossing films of all time.

Who dare not underestimate animation and girl power again now?

Godzilla is King


The king of the monsters roar and stated explicitly: it has returned. Legendary studio has learned from the failure of last year's movie Pacific Rim and Godzilla membingkis into a film that is very impressive. The trailers of Godzilla was released with appropriate levels of mystery, making people look forward to this film. Of course a lot of people hated the movie version of Roland Emmerich Godzilla and the promise of Gareth Edwards returns to pakemnya as badass Godzilla monsters of cherry country makes people very interested .
The result did not disappoint, in fact you could say very impressive. With the opening of 93 million USD, Godzilla overthrew the prediction of all observers who had expected an opening in the range of 60-80 million USD. This is a result that makes the observers were stunned. Additional Godzilla same overseas enormity (approximately 100 million USD) bringing the total global Godzilla in its opening week has been directly approached the 200 Million USD. At the moment I am typing this article sequel project has been given the green light by Warner Bros. Not surprisingly, much less the director Gareth Edwards already has an idea for a sequel.Please enjoy this http://movie.tvshow1.biz/LP/play.php?movie=0197521
Neighbors movie down almost 50% but the total has reached 90 million USD. This is a very impressive result and can only be viewed as a victory for Seth Rogen and Zac Efron. In the coming weeks this comedy will penetrate 100 Million USD, indicating a perfect comeback for Rogen as two successive comedy films capable of penetrating 100 Million USD. It is also a positive value for Efron because he does not always appear in the comedy and here he proves that he has the capacity to perform in a wide variety of genres. It would be interesting to see what scenarios will be offered to Hollywood agent after seeing her performance in this film.
Not so with The Amazing Spider-Man 2 After a fairly steep fall last week superhero movie opening this summer because back down a steep hit by Godzilla. The new total reached 172 million USD until the third week of alarming because the number of theater that would play increasingly eroded in the coming weeks. More gravity again is the movie X-Men: Days of Future Past will be aired next week and will certainly suck the attention of the nerd and moviegoers. Is The Amazing Spider-Man 2 will fail to penetrate 200 Million USD in local circulation? Probably not because Sony would impose fixed translucent film that milestone - for the sake of closing their shame.
At least the spider man patting his chest as they should be number one for international circulation. The Amazing Spider-Man 2 has successfully passed the Captain America: The Winter Soldier as the international best-selling films for now. This title will not last long because of Transformers: Age of Extinction has the potential to take it in the coming months. Even so most do not The Amazing Spider-Man 2 will get the profit from its international circulation. The question live: big is enough profit to justify the plan spin-offs and sequels?
Other new films released this week is the Million Dollar Arm. Just like Godzilla fronted by Bryan Cranston of this film also stars popular TV series actor Jon Hamm from Mad Men. Unfortunately though Mad Men frequently win awards - even called one of the best series being played in America today - it was not continued success to the big screen for Jon Hamm. Figures below the opening 11 Million USD was disappointing even for analysts who predict a minimum though. Sometimes a monster is too wild so that the film becomes counter-programming participate swallowed whole. 

Two films that sit on the protruding position this week is flop-flop of the past weeks. Both Legends of Oz and Mom's Night Out will soon disappear from the theater after the Memorial Day holiday next week and bring a big loss for the studios that fund them. Which is a pity Legends of Oz from the new studio: Clarius Entertainment. The failure of a project that supposedly worth 70 million USD this could mean bankruptcy for their total. That's some big money there folks!
