The Stonehead Lady Is Watching The Iron Lady

The Iron Lady

[★★★★☆]

 

Since, one of my friend knew my terrible condition lately, he asked me to watch this movie. He said, I could learn from Margaret Thatcher (MT), how to let her husband go. So, should I try to let him go? And another friend of mine said on the phone, "Look! He lives well. There's only you who live like shit, here! Only you! Look at you, bitch! Look at you! Where the hell is the apathetic who called by world everyday?! Where the heck is my bestfriend?" Then, I shouted to him, "Hey dude, mind your words! Damn you, boy! Damn you! I'm okay. I live well too. What's wrong with me? Any problem? Any mistake? I'm here, okay? I am here!". I fought with him, and I didn't really care. I know, world is now trying to get me back. I live well, actually I try so hard. I keep trying. But, I can't. You hear, dear? I CAN'T!!! ARE YOU REALLY HAPPY NOW?? WITHOUT ME?? HMM?!!

Guys. Forget it.

Lemme tell you about its review.

Pardon me.

 

Margaret Thatcher. The first PM of UK. The Iron Lady, who married Denis Thatcher. The man she really loved, and loved her back as much as she did. Dramatic. I hate love story (for now). It told how MT raised her carrier from zero to hero. It told how she couldn't live normal as a woman, after her husband died. She relied on her husband, too much. She was surrounded by Denis Tatcher, in everywhere. She imagined that her husband get dressed, watch TV, drink whiskey, read news, eat breakfast, etc with her. She was a stonehead too. She was stubborn. But she was smart, clever, attractive, and ambitious.

I really like how make up artists did their job to Meryl Streep. And Meryl Streep's brilliant appearance as Margaret Thatcher. I don't really put my eyes on politic issues on this movie. I only know that she could handle her carrier, but couldn't handle any criticism. And she was stand down as PM after her cabinet refused her to back in a second round election, at November 23rd, 1990. But, she will be remembered, a greengrocer's daughter, The Iron Lady.

Deliver Eric Bana To Satan

Deliver Us From Evil

[★★★☆☆]

Last night I went to movie with my old friend. And we suddenly decided to watch Deliver Us From Evil. That movie started at 9.55 pm, evento I should go to office early the next morning. And yes, here I am now, at office. My friend owe me everything! I'm so sleepy zzzzzzzzzz...

Deliver Us From Evil was disappointing me. It was not scary at all. I ask you, who've ever seen it, what is the point of this movie? Hmm? Because, I didn't get anything. But, at least, there's Eric Bana. The Hulk Man! The hot guy. Hahahaa *GIRL!!*

Eric Bana as Sergeant Ralph Sarchie is a police from New York, has wife named Jane and a little girl, Christina. He is called by his partner as 'Radar'. Cause all the cases he has taken (always) brought them to dare adrenaline, they never got an ordinary case. One day, Sarchie and his partner, Butler, got a strange case, it connects to gate signs and 3 US Army soldiers who are fired cause mental disorders, after they did war at Iraq. The case they get is supernatural case, that will change Sarchie's life. He believes on God, but he is reluctant to go to church often. Until he meets Mendoza, Catholic Priest, Mendoza then helps Sarchie to finish this case. When the case finished, Sarchie turns into demonologist with Mendoza.

That was what I got last night. I don't write a lot. I'm lil bit lazy. I'm sleepy, and hungry. And I'm not fasting today. May I get my breakfast, guys? Ciao!

Hide Josua, Hide!

Life Is Beautiful (La vita è bella)

[★★★★☆]

Life Is Beautiful adalah film tahun 1997 yang menceritakan tentang seorang Yahudi, bernama Guido yang jatuh cinta kepada Dora, wanita Italia kaya raya yang selalu terlihat sederhana.

Guido hanya memiki toko buku kecil di sudut jalan. Dan terkadang dia membantu pamannya untuk bekerja sebagai pelayan restoran di Hotel milik pamannya itu, Uncle Eliseo.

Guido adalah pribadi yang ceria. Dia selalu berusaha membuat orang-orang di sekitarnya senang. Dengan cara-caranya yang unik dan terkadang aneh. Guido dan Dora bertemu berkali-kali dalam kesempatan yang tidak pernah terduga. Hingga akhirnya, keduanya saling tertarik. Dora selalu terlihat ceria selama ada Guido di sekitarnya. Dia selalu dibuat tertawa oleh Guido. Berbeda dengan apabila Dora bersama dengan pria yang akan meminangnya. Pria kaya raya yang adalah teman kecil Dora. Namun, tidak dapat disangkal, Dora tidak bahagia.

Pada akhirnya, Dora dan Guido akhirnya menikah dan memiliki anak, bernama Josua. Set cerita adalah masa Perang Dunia ke 2, dimana Nazi mengulik Yahudi dimanapun mereka berada. Hari dimana Josua berulang taun, malah menjadi awal hari-hari suram mereka. Mereka ditangkap dan diasingkan di suatu camp. Josua selalu bertanya-tanya kemana mereka akan dibawa, Guido dengan tipikal yang selalu ceria menceritakan kebohongan demi anaknya. Dia bilang bahwa mereka akan liburan.

Selama masa pengasingan, yang Josua tau, itu hanyalah suatu permainan, dimana mereka yang memiliki poin tertinggi akan memenangkan permainan. Dan pemenangnya akan mendapat sebuah tank baru yang asli, bukan sekedar mainan. Bagi Josua yang masih kecil, dan sangat menyukai tank, mudah baginya untuk percaya. Apapun akan dilakukan Guido untuk membuat Josua senang, termasuk harus membohongi anaknya.

Hingga akhirnya, perang usai, Jerman kalah. Dan harus angkat kaki. Semua tahanan Yahudi dikumpulkan dan mulai dibuang entah kemana. Ada yg dibunuh di tempat, dibakar, ditembak, dan untungnya ada pula yang selamat. Guido ingin mencari istrinya, Dora. Dan selama dia mencari Dora, dia menyuruh Josua untuk bersembunyi di suatu tempat semacam lemari besi kecil. Namun usaha Guido diketahui Nazi. Dia ditangkap, dan dibunuh. Josua masih belum tau apa yang terjadi, Josua tidak tau jika ayahnya juga sudah tewas. Dia masih saja bersembunyi di persembunyiannya hingga pagi. Ketika esoknya dia keluar dari lemari besi, ada tank datang. Dia berteriak kegirangan karna dipikirnya dia menang seperti yang dikatakan Guido selama ini. Josua selamat dan akhirnya bertemu Dora, ibunya, ketika selama perjalanan.

Film ini cukup membosankan pada awalnya. Tapi ketika konflik Yahudi-Nazi mulai muncul barulah ceritanya mulai hidup. Dan akhirnya cerita ini malah berubah menjadi film yang mengharukan. Bukan dilihat dari Nazi ataupun Yahudinya. Tapi kasih sayang seorang ayah kepada anaknya, dimana si ayah ingin melihat anaknya selalu bahagia dan melihat bahwa kehidupan ini indah. Lucky boy!

Noah And Allie

The Notebook

[★★★★☆]

Well, I have nothing to do in this first fasting day. So I spent my noon to watch old movie and read a book. Before, at the end I was so sleepy in about 3 pm before Ashar. I watched "The Notebook", geez I know people curse me cause this was my first time to watch it after 10 years released. Where have I been? This movie is so incredible. It's awesome to be told over and over again. And if I watched this before I watched Augustus and Hazel's, I'm pretty sure it will be placed on my heart after Romeo and Juliet.

This story told about Noah and Allie. The young boy and girl who had different background family. Noah, was a country boy, stayed with his daddy. He worked as a carpenter and lived the simple life. Different with Allie. She was the town girl, beautiful, cheerful, had money and notoriety. She was it girl. Allie and her family were about spending their summer holiday in Seabrook. And there was where Allie and Noah met. Bravely, Noah tried to introduce his self to Allie and asked her to dance, and date with him. At first time, she resisted him. Until Noah insisted and never gave up, then Allie said yes. From that first time they (finally) date, they're falling in love. Really fall in love each other.

One day, Allie was too late to back home. And her parents asked the cops to look for her in entire Seabrook. Since that day, Allie was not allowed to meet Noah anymore. Actually, her parents didn't really interest to Noah in one day lunch together. In the next day, her life turned into something different. She and parents were going back to town. All bags were packed when she woke up. She should go. Leave Noah. Without saying goodbye. Noah and Allie were about seventeen at that time. Noah sent Allie a letter everyday, 365 letters totally in a year. But no one replied. Not because Allie didn't want to, but because she didn't know about those letters.

Seven years after Allie left Seabrook, she met a man, named Lond Hammond. They met, fallen in love and going to marry. Till, Allie saw a headline in newspaper, there was Noah with his dreamhouse. Allie decided to go to Seabrook. She figured out about Noah, is he okay or not. Her journey didn't stop in this part. Her old love appeared, actually it wasn't over. And now, she was in complicated situation, she gonna marry a man she loves, but she can't leave her true love who isn't favored by her parents. Story will be a story, fiction will be a fiction, in the end there's always a happy ending. Allie and Noah happily ever after. They're married and had children. But, when Allie and Noah grew old, Allie got alzheimer and could easily forget everything. So, she wrote her love story on a notebook. She asked her husband, Noah, to tell this story over and over again, to remind her about Noah. It worked so well, for only minutes. At least, they could love each other until in the end of their lives.

God, this movie is suck. I mean, it is a good movie, and bring my tears down. It is suck because I just watched after 10 years released. OhmyGod!

The Transformers

Transformers : Age of Extinction
[★★★☆☆]

So, are you fans of Transformers? To be honest, I was really like Transformers. But, for this season, I didn't really wait for this movie. There's no Shia LaBeouf, instead Mark Wahlberg. But, I repeat, I like watching movies, so yesterday I went to movie. What's my comment for this? The longest Transformers movie!

Too much conversation, too much wishy washy. And, can you imagine? You should sit down, watch the big screen in two and a half hours? It was too long. But at least, I saw The Autobots again, specially The Foolish Bee. It began from the Autobots were hiding wherever they could. And one day, Cade found a trashy truck, which is Optimus Prime. He looks terrible and broken. Cade's trying to fix him, until the government found Optimus from CCTV.

Actually, I'm not in the mood to make any review about it. So people, just watch it by yourself :b

The Fault In Our Stars

The Fault In Our Stars

[★★★★☆]

How if you were sick, and longevity is something impossible? Or you live with knowing that you can die anytime? Augustus and Hazel are cancer patients. Augustus has lost his legs, and Hazel should bring her oxygen tube everywhere. Until, they meet each other in a cancer community. And there’s the love story begins.

I watched this movie first before I read its book. And my sympathy was stolen, there’s a space for Augustus and Hazel’s love story in my world, after Romeo and Juliet’s. They have their infinity. They bring their love to death. I admire them. How they struggle, how they make each other happy, love and be loved. Here, I don’t want to share the story. I just suggest you people, to watch this movie. And while you watch it, I’ll read the book. I curious how details this story is. I guess, that the book will be more interesting than the movie. Well, as usual.

Take your time, people Grab your bucket of popcorn. And enjoy the movie.

Okay?

Okay.

Fairy Godmother!

MALEFICENT
[★★★★☆]

After months ago, the last time I went to movie all alone, finally on Tuesday last week, I watched ‘MALEFICENT’ by my self, again. And I was getting so fun, hmm little. So, who doesn’t like fairytale, kids? Or who doesn’t like Disney, peeps? I love fairytale, and I really like Disney. *And sometimes I blame on Disney to give me, damn high imaginations of life.*

This movie tells about villain side of Princess Aurora story, Maleficent. She’s the witch who curses Aurora to be sleeping beauty in her 16^th birthday, and only a true love kiss can awaken her. Actually, Maleficent  used to be a sweet, cute, cheerful, and beautiful fairy. Well, despite I’m not Princess Aurora’s stand, I enjoyed the movie. Especially, because there is Sam Riley who roles as Diaval *sorry, I won't write anything about Diaval here*. I knew Sam first time when he played for "Control" movie. And here, in Maleficent, he looks greater than before. He's handsome.

Once upon a time, there were two contiguous territories. The Moors, an enchanted forest kingdom, and King Henry’s Kingdom. The Moors consisted of fairytale creatures, included Maleficent. A beautiful young girl, who had wings and horns in her head. Otherwise, King Henry’s Kingdom consisted of humans. One day, Maleficent met human named Stefan after he was caught by the guards stole a diamond. Since that time, they often met up. Until they were growing up into 16^th year old. Their friendship became love relationship. And, Stefan gave Maleficent a true love kiss. But, it was not.

Time went so fast, and Stefan betrayed Maleficent with his ambitious to be a King after King Henry announced a competition. Who could kill and bring Maleficent’s head, he would marry his daughter.  And finally Stefan could bring Maleficent’s wings. Then, he married King Henry’s daughter and replaced King Henry. It caused Maleficent to be cruel. She was brokenhearted. She felt betrayed by her lover. She became ruthless and ambitious. She wanted to destroy Stefan’s Kingdom.

Until, the day Princess Aurora arrived, Maleficent came uninvited to kingdom. Gave a gift and cursed on Aurora’s 16^th birthday, that she would die after pricking her finger on the spindle of a spinning wheel, and she could be awaken only by a true love kiss. It is something Maleficent believed didn’t exist. Stefan losing control, and asked courtiers to burn and lock away all the spinning wheels in entire kingdom. Then he sent Aurora to live with three pixies, hidden in the woods, until a day after her 16^th birthday.

Maleficent didn’t ignore Aurora actually. She watched Aurora from afar, since Aurora infant. Day by day, secretly, Maleficent also cared for her from afar. Until, Maleficent realized that she should take back her curse to Aurora. But, no one could take the curse. And in the day Aurora being 16^th year old, the curse happened. Maleficent brought Prince Phillip, a boy who falling in love each other with Aurora, to have him kiss Aurora. But, it failed. Maleficent regretted. She apologized to Aurora and swore that nothing could hurt her anymore as long as she around Maleficent. Then, she kissed Aurora’s forehead. Voila! Aurora woke up, and called Maleficent “Fairy Godmother!” For seconds, Maleficent shocked and called her back “Beastie!”

It shows us, that true love does exist. Maybe not from a lover, maybe from friends, siblings, families, teachers, partners or blablablabla. But true love could be from the one and only you love. True love is something you feel and sometimes it can’t be owned. True love is a complicated thing. But I believe, true love really exists.

Days of Future Past

X-Men: Days of Future Past

[★★★★☆]

I should have watched X-Men before I watched Edge of Tomorrow. Because, this movie (ALSO!) tells about how they back to the past and change the history. Call me ‘out of date’ or whatever, cause I just watched X-men: The Days of Future Past, last night. *I mean last Thursday, I’ve written this, but yet posted.*

Well, talking about superhero movie is not fair if we compare between the movies and the comics. Or maybe the movies and the novels. Some people expect too much for movies. They want to watch the real visual version from comics. So do I. But, I’m the big fans of X-Men. So, I admit that I couldn’t hardly wait to watch this one. Even, at least, I watched too late.

Bryan Singer, the director, has worked so hard to impress us, fans, again. After Brett Ratner destroyed X-Men stories before, X-Men: The Last Stand and X-Men Origins: Wolverine. While, in future, they are attacked by Sentinel. Sentinel is a thing which is made by Government to kill mutants. *I think, that Sentinel looks alike Iron Man. hahaha* So that, Wolverine is sent to the past by Professor Xavier and Erik to change a part of history.

Mystique caused the Government made Sentinel Project. Actually, Sentinel was Bolivar Trask’s, he obsessed to kill mutant. He affected the Government to built this project. Mystique felt like she should kill Trask. But she killed Trask, it didn’t make Sentinel Project cancelled, instead the Government started to develop Sentinel. Wolverine should avoid Mystique kill Trasks.

Yet by the movie run, with more drama and less fight, it still impressed me. I found some interesting things on it. As when Quicksilver, Peter Magnus, brings Magneto from Pentagon. This scene was sooo funny. And when Wolverine passes through a metal detector. Then, when in future, after Wolverine back from past, I watched that Bobby, Iceman, is still being together with Rogue. And Kitty with nobody, I don’t know exactly, but she teaches class.

So, what’s next for X-Men? We have to wait until 2016, for ‘X-Men: Apocalypse’ and ‘Wolverine 3’ in 2017.

GOJIRA

GODZILLA
[★★★☆☆]

Actually, I'm not a big fans of a huge charcoal dark grey dinosaur-look-alike, Godzilla. Maybe, I used to be a big fans of it, when I was child. But, cause I like watching movie, any kind of movies, so I also watched Godzilla.

Godzilla was released for the the first time in 1954 by Japan. Then it was remade by Rolland Emmerich in 1998, but it didn’t get good responds. And now, this movie was constructed by Gareth Edward.

Ford Brody, the son of the scientist couple from Janjira, is back home from his military duty. He meets his wife and little son. But suddenly he’s called by Japan Government, that tells him if his dad, Joe, is arrested. So, Ford decides to leaving for Japan tonight. The reason why his dad is arrested is because Joe crossed the forbidden zone. He’s wondering about something has already happened in about 15 years ago, when he and his wife worked in the same company, Janjira. His wife died there. Joe believes it happened not because human error, but caused by aliens named MUTO which is looking for radiation in order to breed.

Godzilla doesn’t make an existence until one hour. Until there’s something comes out from an eggshell that was found near an abandoned nuclear plant. That looks like an insect  and pterodactyl or microcaptor or whatever. But, that’s not Godzilla. That is a Muto. Actually there are two Mutos, the big one and the small one. And the big one which is found in Nevada is female, and it’s going to spawn. *can you imagine?* Then, the huge charcoal dark grey comes ashore, preceded by tsunami that puts people in hazard. It fights with the big female Muto.

Their fight doesn’t appear strong and clearly enough. But thumbs up for Gareth Edwards. He tried so hard to build the story. Even this movie has much conversations and details before going into nitty gritty. So, its writer put human drama on it to strengthen the story. Unfortunately, it doesn’t have well background and every character appears without any obvious reason. So that looks like useless, even in the beginning, Godzilla has an interesting story.

***

Anyway, talking about Godzilla a.k.a Gojira *I prefer to call it Gojira hahaa*, I have my own Tokyo Vinyl Godzilla. *just saying* Don’t you curious how could I have that one though I’m not a big fans of it? Confidential. :b *here it is!*

Tom Cruise's Sci-Fi (AGAIN??)

EDGE OF TOMORROW
[★★★★☆]

Before Edge Of Tomorrow, he played for Oblivion. These were sci-fi movies actually. Thanks God, I like sci-fi movies, and big thanks, I like Tom Cruise. So, I tell you, Edge Of Tomorrow is a good movie, yeah not bad I think. Even, it is helped by Cruise on it. This movie is based on the Japanese light novel All You Need is Kill by Hiroshi Sakurazaka. And you know what? This movie reminds me to Looper. Because, first, there’s Emily Blunt on both of movies. Second, the hero should repeat his life to complies the mission. On this movie, Tom Cruise as Major Cage Lives-Dies-Repeats. Everyday.

It starts from he wakes up in the middle of America Soldiers who ready to fight tomorrow. Major Cage should join with J Squad and prepare his self with an armor. But, he never wore this before, and when he goes down to the beach with the squad in tomorrow morning, he dies 5 minutes after the war began. Then………..he wakes up. Until he realizes, his life is about live-die-repeat.

Major Cage meets Sergeant Rita. She is the commandant of these soldiers. Major Cage tells her about what happens with his life. Rita used to have it, and she says that Cage isn’t allowed to tell anybody about it.  He repeats his daily life, every time he wakes up, he learns how to fight, how to complies the mission, to wear the armor, and to look for The Omega. What is the omega? It is the enemies’ brain. If he could kill the omega, all the enemies would die. Oh, I didn’t tell you, the enemy which soldiers fight for is kinda looks like an alien.

And, in the end. Cage wins. He can find and kill The Omega. But he dies. He dies for sure? Nope. He lives again, he wakes up again. But in different part from the last time he woke up. He’s looking for Rita. Makes sure that he can meet her again, even Rita doesn’t recognize him.

I’m wondering, how if I lived like him. I woke up at many times, in the same part. What would I change from my past? I’m not sure. Maybe I’d try this and that, be this and be that. Not because I’m not grateful for what have done and gotten. I’m just wondering. What would happen if I could change the-shit-happened? I'm pretty sure, I'd be happy, moooooooooooooooooooooore happy than now, yes right now!

This movie is recommended to watch. Just for fun from your activities. Why not, aight? ;)

The Older You Get, The More You Look Great

NON-STOP
[★★★★☆]

The older you get, the more you look charismatic.

What else can I say for Liam Neeson? I began to be his fans since I watched Star Wars Episode I: The Phantom Menace, and he acted as Jedi Master Qui-Gon Jinn. He stole my attention, until now. Then, on Monday I had a date and watched his latest movie, Non-Stop.

This movie tells about hijacked airplane. And the story begins from US Air Marshal Bill Marks, he goes to UK from US with his friend Jack Hammond, for his last duty. While on trip, he receives mysterious texts from The Unknown who forces Bill to transfer $150 million into an off-shore account. The Unknown intimidates Bill, if he couldn’t transfer a number of money, The Unknown would kill one of the passenger in 20 minutes. Bill is curious, who the hell is this sucker? He asks help from the flight attendances, Nancy and Gwen, includes the pilot and co-pilot and a lady who next to him, Jennifer Summers. Bill asks Nancy and Jen to look at the security cameras of the cabin, they must be look at the passengers and see who are using the phones. They get some names: Tom Bowen, Austin Reilly, Charles Wheeler, Dr Fahim Nasir (why do always they put a Moslem guy on every terrorism story?) and Jack Hammond.

Oh well, who are they?

Tom Bowen have met Bill before they go inside the airport. I don’t know what his job is. They don’t talking each other. Austin Reilly is an NYPD, he is too shifty, so I guess many people guessing that he is a suspect. Charles Wheeler, he looks like a businessman, I don’t know exactly. Dr Fahim Nasir, as we know he is a doctor. Jack Hammond, he is an agent too like Bill, they’re friend but not partner.

Bill sees Jack goes to aircraft lavatory, they’re having some conversations, but they get some miscommunication then they fight. Jack died. He is the first victim on those plane. But it happens like Bill is the suspect. He is trapped.

Somehow, Bill takes Jack’s suitcase after he checks Jack’s phone. And there is a huge box of cocaine. Bill is shocked.

The Unknown sends a new text to Bill, he wants to repeat the game in 20 minutes, again. So he sets his timer watch to 20 minutes. If Bill still couldn’t transfer the money, any passenger could die. During Bill is looking for the suspects, he gets a new text, the passenger can be anyone, but who says it must be a passenger? Bill thinks that the next target is Nancy, one of the stewardess. But actually, the next victim is the pilot.

The game is still on. 20 minutes again for the next victim. Jen Summer meets with a programmer who hired in IT company at UK, named Zack White. Bill needs his skill to help him tracking the suspect’s phone. They get it. So that, Bill orders the business class passengers to move out to the economy class. All the passengers getting angry then protest Bill why they should do that. And to keep them calm, Bill claims that they will be offered a year’s worth of International trip, if only they would do what Bill orders. (It’s little bit a silly part, nobody can’t resist a year’s worth of International trip, noted, for free! And Liam Neeson looks so stressed.)

Hmm okay, the next victim is, Charles Wheeler. The phone is founded on his pocket. But he doesn’t admit that he did anything before, he knows nothing. Bill keep forces him to admit it, but he admits nothing. Then, suddenly Wheeler died. There’s a poison dart on his pocket.

Scene by scene, Bill finds bomb inside cocaine on Jack’s suitcase. He warns all the passengers and tells the co-pilot to do hijacked procedure. When Bill and men passengers moving suitcases on the cabin baggage to cover the bomb on backside plane, Bowen suddenly attacks Bill, and Zack tries to trick Reilly (on this scene, Reilly is helping Bill because he is an NYPD). The suspects are Bowen and Reilly.

I often watch movies and stories telling about hijacked like this. Overall, this is a good movie. But for climax story, it’s little bit disappointing. At last part, Bowen explains why he does it, but he gives an unreasonable excuse, for revenge he says, because his dad died when 9/11 tragedy. How coooooome? Is Bill God, so he had to help his dad? Hahahaa..

But, the other side, this movie makes a different thought about Moslem, even on early story, it shows some suspicious gestures from Dr. Fahim Nasir. Fahim Nasir is not a suspect, he doesn’t do any terrorism.

PS: sorry for this messy post. I lost my mood
