The Secret In Their Eyes [2009] aka El Secreto de Sus Ojos

Argentinian crime movie, won the last Oscar for the best foreign language film.

beautifully written crime drama, set at its own pace. and end up with remarkable ending. great watch for someone who want something different than usual Hollywood films buffet..

8.5/10

The Joneses [2009]

a picture perfect family, move to upper class suburban neighbourhood. they show off their 'perfect -ness' and wealthy lifestyle to their new neighbours. deep down, there is a big business scam..

faded star Demi Moore and David Duchovny starred on this one, they doing good. and Demi always looked hot despite her age..

pretty entertaining all round, 7.5/10

The Last King of Scotland [2006]

before watch this film i was baffled with the title, why on earth a black man related to King of Scotland? instead, its a story about Idi Amin, a military dictator of Uganda in 70s.

Whitaker at his best, won Academy through this performance.

rating 8/10.

Sang Pemimpi [2009] - Indonesian

adapted from the novel with a same title 'Sang Pemimpi' wrote by Andrea Hirata, a sequel to Novel /Film Laskar Pelangi [2008].

an inspirational story about 3 teenagers, from a poor village in Manggar, to achieve their dream to further their study abroad.

much better than Laskar Pelangi, but less inspirational. the OST are quiet good.

rating 8/10

^this, indeed its beautiful..

The Last House On The Left [2009]

arent so good, but arent bad either. a normal parent try to get a revenge when their daughter raped and nearly kill by a runaway prisoner.

i watched it because of Monica Potter

rating 5/10

Brief Interviews with Hideous Men [2009]

certainly not a popular movie and interest people here. but i use it as reference for my personal future project. mockumentary style movie starred and directed by John Krasinski.

this. the explanation on how he did it are ridiculous, no way he get it done all by himself. though, great start and good idea.

re-watched Election [1999]

hilariously funny, awesome 8.5/10

my 2nd watch are more enjoyable because the 1st one, er, i dont quite understand it..

Serenity [2005]

few weeks ago, i read somewhere that this film listed as 'The Greatest Science Fiction of All Time' (poll made by movie magazine or something). TBH, i never heard of it.. and i just watched it yesterday..

its continuity of US TV series, Firefly (which i dont know about it too).. only 1 actress i recognize, cute Summer Glau (from Sarah Connor Chronicles)

overall, its a very good film. for comparison, the CGI not as good as Star Wars (new trilogy), but the story are much better.. but certainly will not get my vote as 'The Greatest Science Fiction of All Time'..

yeah maybe.. i dont have a clue about the movie, just the tag 'The Greatest..' made me expect something big..

better than Star Trek, which is too boring for me (the movie, and i never follow the series)

Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind [2004]

romantic fantasy film, really brilliant! im quiet clueless and lost interest at first 20minutes, but when i gripped out the film actual time line, a real excitement coming along..

rare combination of Kate Winslet and Jim Carrey, worked out really well..

9/10

A Walk In The Clouds [1995]

love this movie, surely not the greatest but indeed its so beautiful movie. rewatched it again yesterday.

i never give a movie 10/10, but this movie are really good. so i go for 8.5/10..

certainly award winning material movie, and that girl (Ree) is very outstanding

a bit boring if u dont like slow movie, but certainly its the best 2010 movie i watched this year..

The Lake House [2006]

re-watched it yesterday. love the story, love Sandra Bullock..

the story apparently beyond logic and contained too much paradoxs, but nevertheless i love it. a love story between a man and woman, who never met and separated by 2 years time. their only connections are a mail box, a dog and the lake house.

7/10

Gone Baby Gone [2007]
love it. child abducting story, good deeds vs unlawful act. Ben Affleck is a promising young director, ill look forward to his works after this.
9/10

Zodiac [2007]
another David Fincher's great work. its a long movie (nearly 2.5 hours) and made me yawn at certain points.
it played with lot of serial murder case facts, and we need to keep up with those facts to keep up with the story. interesting ending, great characters, some movies that i would like to re-watch again in future.
8.5/10

Revolutionary Road [2008]
reunion of Kate Winslet and Leonardo Di Caprio. the essence of the story are just ordinary, seem -good couples with eternal conflicts. but beautifully played. another good work of Di Caprio (and Winslet). like the ending though unfaithful husband /wife story always give me painful moments.
8/10

Adventureland [2009]
i dont know why i picked this film, maybe a little mix up between it and Zombieland [2009]. and i assumed its a zombie film, but Adventureland [2009] just a teenage love story. ordinary film, nothing special, but if i still a teenager, i might like it. 1 certain thing is, Eisenberg is a very promising talent out there and will have a great future.
6/10

Grostesque [2009] Japanese.

never like this type of film, really just to past time.

just so-so, empty story, full with blood and torture, no better than most Hollywood /Europe human torture films.

4/10

curious, boredom..

the cover said its more violent than Hostel and SAW..

The Lives of Others [2006] (German: aka Das Leben der Anderen)

certainly 1 of the best German movie ever. set in pre German unification, when GDR's secret police will do anything to surveillance their political crime suspects.

9/10

this. though its not my cup of tea..

LOL i remember couple of years ago i ' tried' to watch The Twilight [2008]. i ended up downloaded wrong one, Twilight [1998]. its a bad movie, but i still feel OK (cause topless Reese Witherspoon).

and still i not watch the Pattison's one, not yet.. even i have a copy in my HD now..
