Yes, I always have this thing for movie with open ending or rather sad ending. A friend suggested me to watch this 2011's movie "Like Crazy". He said, if I like Before Sunrise/Before Sunset so much, I would definitely like this. Except I don't. At all. So I rented this movie (along with Gilmore Girls - which remind me so much of high school and my mom, oh I always enjoy watching this). I don't understand the movie premise. Again, at all. Okay, perhaps I am a little biased - based on the fact that, yes, I had a relationship before that moved to a kind of long-distance relationship type, which then didn't work out. So that added my expectation to what this movie all about. But, I must say it didn't live up to my expectation.  Good thing or I think it's more appropriate for me to say, "the things I like about the film": its camera and editing work, or its visual presentation. It used Canon EOS 7D - an inexpensive camera to be used for a...

okay, i'm so happy and that's why I'm writing this post. haha. finally, I finished all my essays, although once again, I think it was not my best effort, so many things happened during the past few weeks, which made me think time's really something you should really value. and so is friendship! you definitely should value it, or the moment's just going to pass you by, and you realize you don't keep your friends best at heart.  yep. so after my miserable weeks for doing essays and turning my biological time upside down once again, I finally went out to breathe some fresh air, and a yummy gelato and japanese rice noodle . haha.  but tonite, I wanna write a movie review!! I've just finished watching it half an hour ago, and I LOVE IT! I really DO! ( warning: might contain spoiler!!! ) it's a Korean movie released in 2011, titled SUNNY . it's a tale of sisterhood, mixed with story of coming of age. the movie opens with a graceful forty-som...

I have always been a fan of sad-ending stories - both in film and in novels (or songs). when other ppl surrounds me usually expect a beautiful ending (couple who eventually lives a happy life together and ever, for example), I get more excited in picturing a sad ending. those moments when the actors find out the ugly truth; the time when the main protagonist realize her/his dream can not be fulfilled.  perhaps, like 500 days of summer: or blue valentine (you can find my post abt this movie here ) but, mostly, I love it when the film ends in an open kind of way. you, as the audience, gets to decide what happens. in your head, of course. in my opinion, it gives you opportunity to have an end based on how you see the film. and of course, it's like you see your life story, it is still running.  like my all-time favourite films below, I love this movie, not only because it ends in such a way, but also because (other than being a fan of Ethan Haw...

semoga pembaca tahu apa itu tutor friend *ky ada pembacanya aja, sigh* well, in case you don't have any idea, My Tutor Friend is a South Korean film distributed in 2003. it was followed by the sequel in 2007. film pertamanya bercerita ttg seorang mahasiswa berusia 21 tahun yang bekerja sbg tutor/guru privat seorang siswa kelas 3 SMA kaya, yg umurnya sama dg si cewek. sekuelnya bercerita ttg seorang mahasiswi dari Jepang yg dtg ke Korea, yang kemudian les privat bahasa Korea pada seorang mahasiswa - anak si empunya kos-kosan. yes, semacam dibalik gitu dahhh, tadinya tutornya cewek, terus di film kedua tutornya cowok. Menurut saya, kedua film ini seperti film2 korea yg bernafaskan romantic comedy lain: ceritanya klise, happy ending, tapi kemasannya khas korea, bisa ditebak: jalan ceritanya lucu, tapi ga jayus *based on my opinion.. haha.. a scene from My Tutor Friend the Japanese and the Koreanese (koreanese ada ya?) in My Tutor Friend 2 bdw, the guy is cute, isn't h...

B lue v alentine is a romantic drama film about the life of middle-class young married couple, beautifully acted by Ryan Gosling (previously, known for his acting in The Notebook) and Michelle William (she did a lot of works, but the most I remembered is when she played Heath Ledger’s wife in Brokeback Mountain and also in Dawson Creek). This Academy Award’s nominated film shifts back and forth in time: the past and the present of their courtship. Director, Derek Cianfrance, intended this film to began shooting when both actors were still younger, as Williams received the script ever since she was 21. But this intention failed due to financial issues. http://www.boomtron.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/02/blue-valentine-promo-poster.jpg Below is my plot summary, well it contains a spoiler, so in case you are intending to watch the movie, and prefer it best without someone spoiling the story, I guess, you’d better not read further.  The movie opens with a little girl n...
