DIVERGENT (2014)

Lebih Baik Daripada The Hunger Games

Pemain :  Shailene Woodley, Theo James, Jai Courtney, Kate Winslet, Ansel Elgort
Skor      :  7.0 / 10

 

Divergent adalah film yang diangkat dari novel trilogi karangan Veronica Roth. Saya belum pernah membaca novelnya, tapi menurut saya, ceritanya mirip dengan The Hunger Games. Keduanya berkisah tentang dunia yang terdiri dari beberapa fraksi (di The Hunger Games disebut distrik). Di dalamnya ada kompetisi untuk memperebutkan posisi dan fraksi yang lebih tinggi ingin menguasai yang lain. Karakter yang terlibat secara intens, memiliki postur tubuh ideal, kuat dan menguasai bela diri. Tokoh utamanya pria dan wanita, seperti Katniss dan Peeta dalam The Hunger Games.

I, Frankenstein (2014)

Hhmmmh.. ZzzZzzzz...Sleepy
Stars    :  Aaron Eckheart, Yvonne Strahovski, Miranda Otto, Bill Nighy
Score   :  5.0 / 10

 

Last month, I got an invitation from my friend to watch a movie. We are a big fan of horror movies even though we were ladies. :D. At that time, there are two alternative movies to watch. The first is a horror film titled The Pact and the second is a sci-fi action movie themed, I-Frankenstein. But we finally decided to watch I-Frankenstein, because it first aired in Indonesian cinema than The Pact. Fortunately, after a few days, I found the Pact at a DVD store, it can treat my disappointment for failing to watch a horror movie at cinema. The Pact review can be read in this link : http://www.reviewcinema.com/2014/03/THE-PACT.html

The Wolf of Wall Street (2013)

Outspoken, Crazy and The Totality of DiCaprio

Stars   :  Leonardo DiCaprio, Jonah Hill, Margot Robbie, Matthew McConaughey
Score   :  7.0 / 10

 

Nowadays, I'm busy with a lot of jobs at the beginning of year. I was forced to reduce the time to write a review. So, some movies that I watched were too late to be posted, one of them is The Wolf of Wall Street. The Wolf of Wall Street is Leonardo DiCaprio's movie in 2013 after The Great Gatsby. Although has already passed, but it was released in Indonesia at the end of January 2014. As a DiCaprio fan, I will not miss his movie. From the start, I've committed to watching it in the theaters and in early February 2014, I finally watched it in theaters. This movie has a long duration, about 150 minutes, although many cut by Indonesian film censorship, caused of too many hot scenes. If it is not censored, it will took 180 minutes to watch this movie.

OSHIN (2013)

OSHIN, Old Japanese Story, Very Touching and Heartbreaking 

Stars   :  Kokone Hamada, Aya Ueto, Goro Inagaki 
Score   :  7.5 / 10
 

I'm still the lucky ones because knew OSHIN. Some generations after me definitely do not know anything about OSHIN. What is OSHIN? OSHIN is a Japanese television series that aired on Indonesian television, TVRI (Televisi Republik Indonesia) in 90s. I've forgotten when exactly aired on TVRI, but certainly, I watched it. I also had OSHIN cassette when I was in elementary school and often played it. My father had bought it for me at that time. Unfortunately, I've actually forgotten the story. I only remember that OSHIN is a heartbreaking story from the land of cherry blossom (in Bahasa: Negeri Sakura), Japan.
