Review - My Week With Marilyn

My Week with Marilyn (2011) Posterimage taken from imdb.com

This film were starred by Michelle Williams, you must know her from Dawson's Creek, it was a boom in my generation XD. The male actor is Eddie Redmayne, one of the actor in the mini series of Pillars Of the Earth, her innocent face kind of take my heart.
Anyway this movie talked about the process of making one of Marilyn Monroe's famous movie, The Prince and The Showgirl. Marilyn Monroe is a difficult movie star, who had bad mood and really have problems with self esteem. People who worked with her started complaining about her attitude since the movie become delayed because of her attitude and it got worse when she found out about her husband's writing. You will see in the movie that Marilyn is a woman with lots of doubt and attitude that irritating. I really don't know if she is really like that or did Michelle Williams acted so bad, the personality of Marilyn Monroe annoys me very much. Anyway, Eddie Redmayne acted as Colin Clark, the third assistant of the director who catch Marilyn's eyes and become one of her slaves. I like how Eddie Redmayne's act, he play the role very well and the naive of younghood played subtly along the movie. It's michelle williams that annoys me, somehow everything looks very artificial, how she talks, how she moves, I really wish another actress should cast for her role.
But I really suggest you should watch the movie, perhaps you would have different opinion from mine.
I give this movie 2,5 / 5 stars.

Review - Seven Psychopaths

image taken from imdb.com

A story about a writer who wish to write about 7 psychopaths and end up surrounded with all of them. The lead actor, Colin Farrel (Martin) is stuck with his writing, and his relationship with a girl named Kaya is also in the edge of breaking up because of his drinking habit. Martin has a buddy named Billy, who volunteer himself to help him writing the story.
One by one the psychopath turn out in the movie, and as a psychopath you must prepared with all the vicious and also the violence they showing. If you have seen the movie Saw, this kind of the lower version of it. You will see blood splattered everywhere, slaying here and there, especially on the scene of zachariah (one of the psychopath).
What come out from me after I watch the movie is they are just lonely people, and somehow people can turn into psychopath in just times. Even the sweetest thing you find can somehow turn out to be one of them.
I find this movie is a dark comedy, not really amused with all of the actors although the director has slip some romance here and there.
I give this movie 2,5/5 stars!

Review - Lawless



After a few times of interruption, i finally could watch lawless last night and end it. This movie based on true story written by  Matt Bondurant "The Wettest Country in the World". A story about brotherhood, the oldest is Forrest casted by Tom Hardy, Howard casted by Gary Oldman and Jack casted by Shia Labeouf.
The Bondurant family is a bootlegger or moonshiner, they have a pub and still factory up in the mountain in the city of Franklin. It was a decade of corruption, mafia shooting each other and somehow the wave of corruption hit the town. The corrupted and evil officers force the bondurants and other bootleggers to pay them money or they will destroy their business, this is where the story started.
The movie have some vivid scene of slaying and violent actions, so I advised you who don`t like to watch that kind of scene should skip this movie from your Agenda. Back to the movie, it will allow you to reminisce the story of your family, your family values, how annoying can your brothers/sisters be but somehow you managed to get over it all.
Every actor and actress plays great in this movie, the score from bootleggers plays perfectly along the way. I must give Jessica Chastain who played Maggie a  great credit since she plays very well with the elegant gesture, and how she loved Forrest very much. She's one of the main attraction of this movie. This is the first time I saw her act, and now I'm dying to watch zero dark thirty, hopefully I could see it sometimes this week.
Enjoying the movie in every inch of the movie, I give this movie a credit of 3,5/5 stars!
