81. Run Lola Run (4/5)

This one is definitely a break from the usual movies that we watch. It has an indie film on it, a movie that doesn’t actually follow the rules of movie sequence. The movie is about Lola, an eccentric woman who got only 20 minutes to get a huge amount of money to save her boyfriend.

                The thing is; three different endings are made as results of different actions. You see how each ending become different because of little difference on details and actions made. You would realize that a few second lapses from doing an action or delaying an action could make a huge difference in the end. This movie could make you realize that whatever you are right now, it is always… always a result of your actions. And that is however small and seemingly insignificant your action is.

                The music is great, it is exciting. It suits the running scenes, and the adrenaline rush of the main character.

I give this movie 4/5

75. Ghost Rider (2.5/5)

I had watched this movie probably a month ago; I just forgot to place it on the list. Good thing I remembered that I watched this Nicholas Cage movie.

                Honestly, I don’t remember a lot, but I remember the dare-devil stunts of Nicholas Cage on the motorcycle. It was fun to remember those scenes… the carnival feeling and the excitement of watching someone perform a daring act.

                It is funny though because as I try to remember all the things that happen, I suddenly remembered how handsome the actor that played as the young Nicholas Cage. I know remember that the story is about a guy who sold his soul to the devil in exchange for his father’s good health. This is the exact reason why he left her girlfriend. He then grew up as a daring man, doing thrilling stunts because death couldn’t defy him. He has no soul, so he is practically invincible.

                It is more of a love story… it was a great movie, but it just sad that I have to try to remember all the details. You know, it the story is really amazing, it would leave a vivid memory to the audience. But this movie seems unable to mark significantly. They should also change the poster, it should have highlighted the daring attitude of Nicholas Cage rather than that sinister look. 

I give this movie 2.5/5

66. Lord of War (3.65/5)

I think I already watched this movie before... I am not just sure... so I am still including this.

I had watched a lot of Nicholas Cage movies, and I discovered his movies are mostly actions. Some are thought-provoking, but there is something in them that makes you sleepy sometimes...

Love the cinematography of this movie. The first part is already interesting, the gun travelling from different places...

Hmmmmm.... now that I remember, the movie really gives a resounding lesson. About war, and the perspective of a man who makes a business out of illegal fire arms.

Great, a great movie. The brother of Nicholas Cage is also a very interesting character here. He may appear weaker, yes, he might be, but he has more compassion and heart.

I JUST REALIZED I MIGHT NOT JUST MAKE A MOVIE WITHOUT COMIC RELIEF ON IT. Even one character that brings fun and lightness...

In spite the resounding lesson, I still give this movie a 3.65/5

61. Memento (5/5)

WHOAA!!! This movie was launched 2000, but still it feels brand new.

Well, this movie defied the rules of plot and sequence. 3/4 of the movie I decided I would be giving this movie 3/5 because it is already too confusing. That time I was thinking-- the hell with the writer, just wanting to make this movie to impress. It was like, hey? Am I stupid? Why the hell can't I catch up? But then the ending changed it all! I was like-- HUWATTT??

Cristopher Nolan-- you are such a genius. It would still take 10 years of practice before I could create something this BIG, I mean as an audience it was already hard enough to understand-- imagine making it! It might be really hard playing with sequence and chronological orders.

And the moral lesson? Freaking sad and resounding. Very Similar to Inception!!!!

High-level! But there is one loophole that I read in one review-- if he had started to have a problem on his memory after the incident at the CR, how come he remembers he can't make new memories? It could have been resolved through one Tattoo saying: FACT # 1: YOU DAMAGED your head and cannot make memories. Or, like explaining on the movie that the damage did not happen immediately, it was like a slowly diminishing until he totally cannot make new memories.

Lessons learned: See the bigger perspective of the story. There is always a way to fix loopholes. Do it before filming! :) Haha.

I give this movie 5/5 amazing! I cannot make this type of movie yet! I'll make one in the future maybe-- you know, my goal is changing now-- I just want to inspire more people create something that could be understood and appreciated by more, across all social class and race. Focus first on emotions and inspiration, than making intellectual movies. :)
