Kuntilanak (2006)
Summary: Don't be afraid, this Kuntilanak isn't scary!
I watched Kuntilanak on VCD at my house. My friend brought it and I was really curious what would be it looked like. Well, I must say the building is pretty scary but it's dissonant for girl's hostel. We all know girls won't living in dusty place, fearful, dirty and far away from the the town especially for rich girls. It's ridiculous, isn't? About the main character, Samantha(Julie Estelle), I didn't see a character inside her. Sometimes, she was weak, sissy, and need for help. The other times, she was strong, spitfire, and self-supporting. And Agung(Evan Sanders) really played mess, not good, not good! There are so many weakness in Kuntilanak. There is no surprise in the end of the movie, the tragedy of the death in this movie is really boring, the setting places are too narrow, the conversations are too stiff, and many more. Please, don't even try to make a horror movie with small budget. But, the huge mistake is about the style of the movie. The characters died one by one in a horror movie is an old school, out of date. For Rijal Mantovani, you need to be more creative to find fresh ideas for horror movie. Trust me, Wes Craven is one of the old school student. And look at him, He is bankrupt. I'm sorry to give rating 3/10 for this one!
A Series of Unfortunate Events (2004)
Watch out for Count Olaf!
Basically, this movie is a very simple story. However, great performance by Jim Carrey made it become interesting and amusing. According to me, this is one of his best appearances. I watched on this film at 3 o'clock in the morning and amazingly, my sleepiness was lost! I love to see the scene of Jim Carrey imitating Dinosaur and eccentric style of Count Olaf. Besides, Klaus (Liam Aiken), Violet (?) and Sunny(?) playing important role in the movie. Strong character from them made Jim's domination more or less could make balance. If you like to see some nasty humors of Jim's previous movies, well, you will not find them here. The movie is brand of Nickelodeon, and Nickelodeon means children. But, trust me, it is not so childish. With the touches of Gothic style and some weird effects. The movie is competent to thumbs up as an entertaining comedy movie for family. I wish there were more typical funny things of Jim Carrey presented in it. But, any way I will give rating 7/10 for this one.
Alone in the Dark (2005)
Home Alone is much better than Alone in The Dark
As you already know, Alone in The Dark is a comeback moment of Christian Slater(Edward Carnby) after take a break for couple of years in Hollywood. The reason I wanna see the movie is because I have played Alone in The Dark game for Playstation. The game is quite fun and terrible. I thought the game and the movie wouldn't have big differences. But, I was wrong., it's totally difference. Tara Reid(Aline Cedrac) again plays in another suck movie (except Guess Who). The movie is very lack in story, cinematography, and effects. According to me, Alone in The Dark(AID) is no more than a C-class movie. I was really disappointed to watch this movie as I watched Resident Evil movies. But, this is worst. Resident Evil(RE) is better than this one. RE is an action movie and AID is a twilight zone movie. Hahaha, I'm kinda confusing to guess what is its genre. Entirety, this movie is pretty bad as a Hollywood movie. And I deserve to give rating 4/10 for this one. Do You Agree?
Hidalgo (2004)
Cowboy plays his gun on dessert!!!
Well, It's really unusual cowboys movie. The movie tells about a cowboy with his Mustang horse that could tame the cruel desert in Arabian to gain victory in a horse rally competition in Arab. I like this movie but somehow it's really a little boring to watch it. It's too easy to predict the end. Somehow this movie trying to convince Muslim's ideology that their thinking about the world is so crowded and inflexible. I don't know what to say when I see the movie which shown a character such a Sikh who in Islam is a holy and wisdom figure is shown as clown to me (the example is he likes to gambling, arrogant to Christian and very stiff). Very clear to see that this movie is want to say that western civilization is much better than Islamic way. What a pity to me to know that fact. But, If I forget the fact i really feel this movie is enjoyable. So-so movie... I give the rating : 6,5 stars.
Ada Apa dengan Cinta? (2002)
Bad Movie!!!
2002 is the raising moment of Indonesian film. After a lot of movie mania are thirsty to watch Indonesian movie. Then came, What's Wrong with Love. This movie is just lucky when there was no good movie in Indonesia at that time. So, many teenagers love this movie so much. Trust me, there is nothing that make it called as a big movie. The story is so simple, too simple maybe. The movie players play so-so performance, Nothing brilliance. One good thing to notice is the reality of high school teenagers in Indonesian is filmed as detail. Fortunately, the actress is beautiful, if it's not.. What would it be? After watch the movie you will wonder,"What is the point of this movie?". And you won't find it... What's up with love? The answer is: Very easy to forget!
