Warm Bodies (2013)

Finally, Warm Bodies is on cinema ! I've seen this movie for 2 times. This movie is absolutely based on a popular novel "Warm Bodies". People say, the novel is funnier & greater than the book. But, never mind. I still enjoy this zombie rom-com movie, yet really want to read that novel so bad.

Genre : Romance , Comedy , Zombie

Release Date : 1 February 2013

a brief storyline

There's this one unusual zombie called R (Nicholas Hoult). He's young and he's different from other zombies. His life as a zombie changes when he meets and saves Julie (Teresa Palmer) from an attack. So then both of them form a warm relationship that causes R wants to start his life as a human. How do they deal with this unusual relationship, zombie and humans? Could R change his life and live like a human?

a fair review

I like how R is introducing himself as a zombie. It's a clear opening about how they live a life as zombies.

Nicholas Hoult can portray R so well. His gesture, his posture, his face, all are zombie looks alike. Once again, his facial expression is absolutely amazing. I don't know why but when I saw his facial expression, it made me laugh sometimes.Teresa Palmer also did a good job as Julie, but not too spectacular as a female lead. I didn't see it from her character. Anyway, if you look at her closer, she resembles Kristen Stewart, doesn't she? Or just me?

Ah, I also amazed with R's best friend character, M. Rob Corddry as M is actually doing a nice job. He made me laugh while seeing him talk "Bitches". The problem is, why M is more talkative than R?

All zombie's makeup are pretty simple but works well on them The setting is great too. Old buildings everywhere and some goods look oldies, describes a dead city so well. What I love the most is the soundtrack ! All songs playing in this movie are really perfect.

a brief closure

In the end, I'm enjoying so much while watching this movie. This isn't about zombie that you think can scare you. This is another genre of zombie. I like the storyline, different from vampire's movie or other. Eventhough, sometimes it doesn't make sense, how could human falls in love with a zombie. This movie really worth your time, just for entertaining you. Watching this movie was really fun. You guys should try to watch it. Zombies era is coming to us.

Grade : 7/10

The Perks of Being a Wallflower (2012)

Yeay ! Finally guys, I can watch this beautiful movie based on a best-selling novel of Stephen Chbosky. Seriously, this is a "beautiful" movie. Lots of wisdom words here about life.

Genre : Drama

Release Date : 21st September 2012

a brief storyline

A story about Charlie (Logan Lerman) who is struggling with her bad memories, the suicide of his best friend. He is an introvert freshman in school, so he must struggle much day by day. Not-so-long struggling days of him, until he finds his two new senior friends, Patrick (Ezra Miller) and Sam (Emma Watson). This two seniors are really welcoming Charlie to a new world. How is Charlie struggling with his memories and also his first love to Sam?

a fair review

This movie can relate to anybody. Anybody. Logan Lerman succesfully portrays Charlie as an introvert boy but trying to change into an 'open' boy. I can feel his perplexity, his fear, and his happiness in that high-school moments. Such a true feeling of a new freshman. One thing that I adore about Logan Lerman in this movie is : he is a cute innocent boy.

Who doesn't know Emma Watson? She becomes popular because of Harry Potter's movie. Her role is somehow different with that magical wizardry things, but this absolutely brings her into another steps of her acting carrer. She plays a gorgeus smart girl. Anybody who watch this movie will surely like her. Plus, her British accent is absolutely vanished. Like it.

Ezra Miller looks like an Asian actor seriously, with his dark hair and white face. He plays a role of flamboyant Patrick who makes me wanna become one of his friend. I like his character, so fussy but funny. Other characters, like Mary Elizabeth (Mae Withman) and Candace (Nina Dobrev) are supoorting very nicely.

You know, this movie sets in early 90's era which is no such smartphone or other technology. You just become friend by talking, speaking, and socializing. Visiting home, joining a party and other activities. What I like most is the soundtrack. The songs are played beautifully. Perfect with almost all of the scenes.

a brief closure

High school can be hell, can't it? But, you can change your high-school moments into a good one by a little help of 'what you called a FRIEND'. Some scenes should be not too 'bullying', but sometimes it gives a point of what high-schools are doing nowadays.

There are lots of wisdom words here. This is my and others favourite quotes :

This movie is perfect for such a high-schooler who still shy to face the new world. Make friends and be yourself. Perfection.

Grade : 8/10

A Werewolf Boy (2012) Korean Movie

"A Werewolf Boy" is one of popular Korean Movie. Do you know Architecture 101? This movie surpassed the ticket sales of Architecture 101. You can already watch it online in English sub on Drama Crazy or even download it on Ganool.

Genre : Romance, Fantasy

Release Date : 30 October 2012

a brief storyline

A mother with her two daughter, Kim Suni (Park Bo Young) and Kim Sunja (Kim Hyang Gi), move to a large house in a countryside. This large house is bought by Ji-Tae (Yoo Yeon Seok) who is a son of business partner that Suni's father ever worked together. After moving to this house, an unexpected things come out. Suni finds out a look-alike wolf boy (Song Joong Ki). This family decide to take him and raise him up together in this house. They calls him Cheol Soo. While Cheol Soo is learning to interact with people, he's also finding out that he begins to take an interest in Suni. Of course, Ji-Tae doesn't like it. He prepares some plans to dismiss Cheol Soo, because of a truth that might be a reason to dismiss Cheol Soo. How's Cheol Soo and Suni confront this truth?

a fair review

(Maybe contains spoiler). The plot clearly describes that there's a deep feeling between Cheol Soo and Suni. Scenes by scenes is flowing smoothly. I can understand and feel the same way with the two main characters. The angle-shots are taken beautifully. When Cheol Soo becomes the real wolf, there's no weird screen changing. The setting is also perfect.

Song Joong Ki's character as a wolf boy is incredible. I'm sure he really learns so much about wolf's lifes. His breathing, his gesture, his body language, all his actings, I believe he is a trully ~~cute~~ wolf boy. Even his eyes and his looks are telling everything. He doesn't speak too much in this entire movie, but when it comes to his dialogue, it's really beautiful. Yes, it is. Song Joong Ki is daebak !

Park Bo Young also does the same thing. Her acting is also magnificient. Her chemistry with Cheol Soo is somehow so deep. I can really feel why Suni gradually falls into Cheol Soo and vice versa. She is pretty too with her braided hair. Moreover, sunlight is everywhere in this movie. She is even brighter with the sunlight and the gold prairie. Her emotion also comes out sincerely.

The setting is perfect. Gold prairie with full of sunlight, warm neighborhood, pure goats, all makes me somehow tranquilizing. Natural light comes out and makes entire angles shot beautifully. The music, eventhough most are instrumental, supports the scenes very well. I like the most when Park Bo Young sings "My Prince" with her guitar. Ah, this scene is beautiful.

a brief closure

Overall, the movie is quite perfect, but lacking in ending scene. I hope something more between Suni and Cheol Soo in the end. Forget the ending. The entire movie is a fully package of joy and laughter, even grief and hatred. I sometimes smile, laugh so hard, and feel fall in love. The side character also plays great. I love how the children can act so natural. I almost burst into tears too, forget to tell you. The climax scene is successfully bringing me into the scene. Ah, what a beautiful romance-fantasy. A simple movie about first love that can touch you. I like it very much.

"Wait for me. I'm back to you."

Grade : 7.5/10
