Devil's Playtime

Devil..another movie which produce by the myth/horror movie mystro
M Night Shyamalan
First impression is like..What The Fuck is This movie all about?? 85% scene and storyline is in the elevator..but still the movie really didn't failed to terrify the audience with effortless diabolic-satanic-thriller which gives you chill to the bone. For me the movie really brings up the truly horrifying satanic experience. The main storyline of the movie is about Detective Bowden (Chris Messina) the Philadelphia Homicide Detective whose been dispatched to investigate on the suspicious suicide and later on end up with five obnoxious passenger which was destined to be in the elevator to foresee the grotesque experience of demonic witchcraft that end up with redemption of past guiltiness.
The movie really capture the essence of fear to the audience and you'll be amaze on the outcome of the movie. You'll never come close to figure it out. Must watch. 3.8/5 movie for me.


here's some mixed reviews and critics for the movie.

"Its overall slightness as a chiller only stresses that this was material unworthy of a notorious control freak filmmaker's undivided attention." - Robert Abele Los - Angeles Times

"The great cinematographer Tak Fujimoto has the time of his life on this low-budget horror feature, playing with dolly shots, abrupt zooms, and negative space inside the widescreen frame, and the fun is infectious." - Ben Sachs - Chicago Reader

"the picture's major sin, while not totally shafting those in the market for a chilling ride, is that it's ultimately more corny than creepy." - Michael Rechtshaffen - The Hollywood Reporter

Youth In Revolt

Youth in revolt really portraits about the agonies of a teenage virgin (Nick Twisp played by Michael Cera) whose been frustrated by his lack of "sex experience" and in desperate attempts craving for a "cheap-ass-fuck-made-believe-sex". A story about what a teenage will do whose fueled with angst becoming a rebellious and revolted for an "everlasting lustful puppy LOVE". Michael Cera also plays as François Dillinger an imaginary alter ego inspired by Jean-Paul Belmondo whose been driving Nick mad for the "made believe sex" that he's going to have with Sheena (Portia Doubleday).
This movie really emphasize on the experience of teenage seductions, rejections, temptations, expectations, envious, vulnerabilities and visceral conviction of teenage lust. A quirky cute lovesick adolescent story that starts with an impish and fun idea which turns out to be a devastated results in hoping for a cheap teen fuck which costs him so much greater that he wouldn't imagine!

 

Here's some of the critics for youth in revolt :

"Youth in Revolt is a teen fantasy filled with lust, imagination, frustration and lots of laughs, artfully made and superbly played." - Tom Long - Detroit News

"I love this new breed of dirty movie. It goes beyond leering, beyond sexism, to the core tension of a culture that ricochets between Puritanism and promiscuity. And it has in Michael Cera a sterling mascot." - David Edelstein - New York Magazine

"Some may find such elements desperate or calculated in their quirky-cuteness, but I think they add to the movie's efforts to evoke the surrealism and excruciating intensity of, as the title puts it, youth in revolt." - Tom Maurstad - Dallas Morning News

One funny facts about the movie is that  no drugs whatsoever were involved at all.*nice* A must watch movie.

"Gump"A Quotes

I've just doing my re-run films of my movie stash..and I've pick up the "best movie of the night by choice" : Forrest gump : Really moving and Inspiring~ One Hack a Movie! I wrote this entreè just to commemorate my feeling of being inspired in moving forward in life to what ever that you've gonna through, and keep moving forward till there's no more soul inside of you..
The tenacity, the patience, the positiveness, the effort in order to succeed in life, to live your life, no matter how imperfectness you are..as long as there's will..you'll be succeed. 

Some of the famous and my favorite quotes in the movie that touched and inspires me :

"Life is like a box of chocolate, We'll never know what we'll gonna get"

The Scene where Mrs. Gump was just being finished diagnosed by local town doctor and lying lifelessly on the bed. Slowly Forest Gump reaching his mother's hand and said :
______________________________________________

Forrest Gump narrative : "Mama always said, dying was a part of life. I sure wish it wasn't."
"Everybody have their own destiny Forest, Like me; I'm destined to be your mama," said Mrs. Gump
"How about my destiny, Mama? " Forest asked indistinctly
With a solemn and sad face Mrs.Gump replied :

"You're gonna have to figure that out for yourself."
"You have to do the best with what God gave you."

Forrest Gump : "Mama always said, dying was a part of life. I sure wish it wasn't."

another memorable scene is :
The part when Forrest having their wedding ceremony with Jenny at their home. The scene where Jenny was still sleeping on the bed and Forrest was looking towards Jenny lying while holding breakfast. Slowly Jenny open up her eyes and saw Forrest standing still in front of her. Jenny telling Forrest how sick she was and his illness cannot be cured (HIV). Jenny was lying on bed and said :
______________________________________________

Jenny Curran : "Were you scared in Vietnam?"
Forrest Gump : Yes. Well, I-I don't know. Sometimes it would stop raining long enough for the stars to come out... and then it was nice. It was like just before the sun goes to bed down on the bayou. There was always a million sparkles on the water... like that mountain lake. It was so clear, Jenny, it looked like there were two skies one on top of the other. And then in the desert, when the sun comes up, I couldn't tell where heaven stopped and the earth began. It's so beautiful.
Jenny Curran : I wish I could've been there with you.
Forrest Gump : You were.

Permulaan Yang Tidak Berasas Langsung

Inception - means initial, preliminary, basic
Inception in bahasa means - permulaan , asas, dimulakan.

How can I describe the film Inception : " a twisted 'reality of under conscious experience'  movie about a man whose trapped in the guilt of his wife dreadful suicidal tragedy, who only dreamt about being back home, back to normal and 'reality' life and being in the comfort of his childrens; Inception is a movie which filled with misleading movie plot, layer by layer of stories to replicate the uncanny image-making maze that no one will ever know the truth ending of the storyline whether it's a reality or just another layer of dream."
such a pseudo psychedelic movie experience which even in reality makes you second guessing whether you're dreaming or you're in reality.

But, It went the other way round for the critics in US, such as :

"a primal nightmare, something to be mused over rather than analyzed, something you may forget as soon as it’s over."
A. O. SCOTT - NY Times

"I'd like to tell you just how bad Inception really is, but since it is barely even remotely lucid, no sane description is possible." - "It trades in crafty puzzles rather than profound mysteries, and gestures in the direction of mighty philosophical questions that Mr. Nolan is finally too tactful, too timid or perhaps just too busy to engage."
Rex Reed - The Observer 



There's more negative reviews than the positive one..believe me, but I have to give credit to Mr.Christopher Nolan for such a big gamble on his vision, cinematic inspiration and his idea of panoramic indulgence in order to bring at least a glimpse of 'reality' bagi filem Inception for else maybe not even dare trying. Salute!!
