Review - Mama

A 2012 movie, cast by Jessica Chastain and Nicolaj Coster-Waldau, based on a short film Mama' an Argentine movie.

The genre of this movie is definitely horror, no doubt about it. A story about two little girls who was abandoned by their father in a cabin in the woods. How do they live?

Somewhere in the other cities, their father's brother Lucas and his girlfriend Annabel pay a private investigator to look for those girls since they are nowhere to be found and there are no bodies as a proof of their absence. After five years of searching, Lucas finally found the two girls, Victoria and Lily, they are alive and healthy. How? In the middle of the woods, how do the girls live? Well, Mama feed them with berries.

Lucas, took the girls in with him. They were under doctors investigation, since they forgot how to speak and communicate with other human being. They crawl, climb and only talks "Mama". Annabel, who has no connection in what so ever with the girls, doesn't know what to do and how to communicate with the girls. She also feel something weird happening, after Lucas falls in the stairs and have a serious wounds and have to stay in the hospital for quite some time.

Annabel see shadows, Victoria give her hints that Mama is following them and stay with them. She stays in the closet, and sometimes plays with them. There are moments when Lily, giggles and laugh, plays with blankets with no one. Somehow, Mama get jealous since she thought all of her girls will be taken away from her. So, she intrude their lives and also killed their doctor.

Who is Mama? I won't deliver you the answer, since the excitement will lost if I told you the whole story. One of the most horror movie I see, moral of the story is a mother will always tries to protect her children no matter what happen at any time and anywhere.

I don't know why they put a 50-50 closing in the end, it kinda left me off balance but its an art, we will never know the reason of it. I give this movie 3,4/5 stars!

Review - The Grand Budapest Hotel

A new movie by Wes Anderson, created in a very beautiful detail. Its like every piece of the movie is carefully picked and placed. Nothing is too much.
Sets in a country named Zubrowka in the early 1900, a man named Gustave H is running his job as the hotel concierge. Greeting, accompanying the hotel guests and pleased all the guests even in the weirdest way. The guests keep coming back for him.
One day, the lobby boy,Zero, brought him a newspaper with a murder news as the headlines. It was madam D, the hotels respective guest. Drawn by wonder, Gustave runs fast to see her funeral, while he knows that all of Madam D hates her so much and only waits for her inheritance.
I can't believe that Ralph Fiennes plays as Gustave D, believe me, maybe this is his best act so far. It was so amazing, and I love him very much. Zero, Anthony Quinonez, also played his part as a newbie very well. Zero had a girlfriend named Agatha, a brave pastry girl who has a big scar in her cheek, who helped Gustave and Zero to finish their mission in finding the real killers of Madam D.

This movie is a full package, they are all proven actors, such as Tilda Swinton as Madam D, Bill Murray, Edward Norton, Adrien Brody, Willem Dafoe, Jude Law, everybody just play their part here, I wont mention every one of them, since there are lots of them.

Wes Anderson successfully not only directs and write this movie, he successfully create a beautiful imagination into a wonderful movie. I enjoy every minute of it, the scenery of the Mountains, the snows, the designs of the colourful cart, the Hendl's cake, everything just seem incredibly beautiful. The costumes was purple, the hotel designs and interior, even the rooms names. Not a single thing irritate me, even in the prison.

As we all predicts, Mr. Gustave won the case. After a series of running, and hiding, he finally made it. Although this looks like a very light and filled with comedy, but the content is not light. It shows us how to struggle in life and how to be kind and helpful. Agatha, is definitely one of the key point in the movie, she talks less but her bravery shows in every single step she made in this movie.

I really recommend this movie to everyone each of you who has watch this movie, and share all of your ideas after watching this movie. Is it really as good as I see it, or is it not? Anyway, I came to the point that I gave this movie 4/5 stars!

A full of enjoyment movie!

Review - Ghost Stories by Coldplay

This might be one of the most famous wings we will ever remember. The cover of Ghost Stories new album by Coldplay. This is my first review on a music category, it was so intriguing that I just could not ignore it.
Contain with 9 songs, their sixth album was just like rain in the dessert. This are the songs :
1. Always in my head
2. Magic
3. Ink
4. True Love
5. Midnight
6. Another Arms
7. Oceans
8. A Sky full of Stars
9. O

This album is quite different from the other albums. Maybe it was influenced by Chris Martin separations, since this is launch after they announce his separations with Gwyneth Paltrow. All of the songs is like a crying in a healing process, especially in Ink.

Got a tattoo that said "2gether thru life"
Carved in your name with my pocket knife
And you wonder when you wake up, will it be alright?
Feels like there's something broken inside

All I know
All I know
Is that I'm lost whenever you go
All I know
Is that I love you so
So much that it hurts

Got a tattoo and the pain's alright
Just want a way of keeping you inside

Every song is easy to listen, definitely not a rock n roll album in my opinion. I don't know which genre to put their music, but this is one of the best album I ever heard. In O :

"O"

Flock of birds
Hovering above
Just a flock of birds
It's how you think of love

And I always
Look up to the sky
Pray before the dawn
'Cause they fly always
Sometimes they arrive
Sometimes they are gone
They fly on

The beauty of a musician is they could tell their stories in different kind of stories. Most of the songs saying the same message in different kinds of stories. Its like we were placed in different kind of details, but the nuisance or the ambience is almost the same.

Hoping you would enjoy this album as much as I do. It was worth it, and definitely going to save it in my long lasting album! 4/5 stars!

Review - Transformers Age Of Extinction

This is like the most hard-to-get tickets of the year! I've watched this movie for more than a week after its premiere in the movie theater. The tickets were always sold out, and then finally I bought it online for last weekend and fortune came upon us, the tickets were available.
Maybe you already know the cast of this movie, Mark Damon as Cade Yaeger, yup the name is kinda weird, Nicola Peltz as Nicola Yeager and Jack Reynor as Shane, who happens to be as Nicolas boyfriend in this movie.
This is the resurrection of Optimus Prime, if you watched all of transformers movie, you already know that in the previous sequel Optimus died cut by one of the decepticon.
The movie started with the yaeger family, where Cade found an old truck, due to his debts he tries to fix the old truck to sell it on better price. Well, unsurprisingly the truck was definitely Optimus Prime. The resurrection of Optimus Prime made the CIA who tries to evict all of the robots from mother earth, hunts all the yaeger family and tries to kill them. This is where the action started.
Apparently, the CIA have successfully killed many of the autobots by claiming that they are decepticons. After Optimus Prime called all of his buddies, they were only 5 left including the one and only Bumblebee. The other three is the new kind of robots, one of them is like a fat irish robot, the other one is the samurai robot who always talks nice, and the other one is a self centered robot.
I don't know why but these robot characters they put on, is kinda annoyed me in some way. It was like too much, with all the glitters and shiny kind of thing in their bodies, is like the creative people lost the essence of transformers.
The CIA work along with a private High Tech Company called KSI, who gather all the robots to create their own robots. The robots their gain is Megatron, well not only Optimus Prime gain resurrection, so is megatron. Surprise..surprise! Adding more enemies, the CIA also worked with transformer creators people named Lockdown, a huge size kind of robot with his huge ships who contains a jail for all convicted aliens.
Yup, nothing gets easy for Prime. Everybody just want a piece of him in this movie. The burden was too heavy, and somehow as we all know it, he won. Its not a sad ending, but I don't like the process of the movie. The enemy is just wayyy too much, Cade is just like a worn out superhero, and especially his daughter who becomes only the sweet display in the whole movie. I recommend Michael Bay, to put Megan Fox back to the picture, since all of his replacement, even Rose Huttington Whiteley makes the movie bad by showing a "stupid blonde" look to the movie.
It was just a plain movie, not enjoy it. If I may say, the only transformers I could enjoy is 1 and 2. The others is just lost.
So not recommended, I give this movie 2/5 stars!

Review - That Awkward Moment

Actually, I find this movie accidentally. During all the workloads I have to do, I need something funny, light to accompany me on my way home. There it is, I saw Zac Efron as the main cast, and I just knew that I have to download it XD.
I have watched this movie twice, and I couldn't agree more that this is an entertaining movie. A story about 3 buddies, two of them is single and not looking for a relationship, and one of them is  a married man. Jason (Zac Efron) and Daniel (Miles Teller) are the singles, and Mikey (Michael B. Jordan) is the married one.
One day, Mikey come to their buddies to share that his wife is asking for divorce. Trying to comfort his friend, Jason and Daniel ask Mikey to a club to meet with girls, like they usually do. This is where the story began. Jason met Ellie, and Daniel finally hook up with their friend Chelsea.
As you could guess, the relationships between Jason and also Daniel with the girls grows without knowing it. The comfortable feeling they feel each other swung them to heaven, but in the other hand, they don't want to share it with their buddies since they are committed to stay single no matter what happen. This is becoming the point where they have to choose between relationships or friendships.
Maybe even we have endure that kind of dilemma, between our relationships or the need of friendship. Mikey on the other hand, trying to resolve his marriage with his wife.
I like this movie, even watching it on the second time doesn't bore me even a little bit. Watching the Manhattan or is it New York scenery, the parks in the evening or during the day is just so calming, make you imagine what it be like to be there with your coat in a cold autumn day.
This movie will also intrigue you to have buddies in your life, that kind of friendships to share your foolishness, thoughts, laughter, sad stories and also your anger. To have a small circle to share almost anything you have in your life, to know that you won't be alone no matter what happen. To be loved in any kind of conditions.
I really recommended you to watch this movie, I give this movie 3,8/5 stars!
