The Aspiring

Hey hey! Starting this blog, and I am just actually copying this idea from Estephanie Frank, a friend of mine. I just thought-- hey Nika, stupid wanting to be a screenwriter/director someday wherein I don't freaking watch A LOT as in A LOT of movies like the aspiring people like me. So what the heck! I'll start this blog and see if I'll be better next year! Disclaimer: Don't believe on my ratings, it's not professional rating. It is solely based on my emotions and feeling at the time I watched the movie. So, don't watch high rated movies I rated. Smile :)) AND BTW, I realize, I am stupid, and weird. I have this very odd preference and taste for movies. People might not like my opinion about the movies, so if you are reading this DO NOT TAKE THE BLOG POSTS AND THE RATE SERIOUSLY. This blog is made specifically for my own growth. Love love. Pardon with wrong grammar and SYNTAX ERRORS

90. Map For Saturday (4.25/5)



So far, this is the only documentary that I have on the list. But then as I visit back to the day that I watched this movie, I can say that I was totally moved! AS IN! I already want to go backpacking and see the world the next day! But then, life is not that easy--- of course, I would like to also pursue a career in writing, and creating videos.

It is inspiring seeing people on the documentary go and enjoy their life. Brook Silva-Braga inspires me as well as a filmmaker. I want to do what he did, create a film and travel at the same time. But I think it is not yet time. Coz I don't have a HD video cam yet! Hehehe!

All I can say is that the best asset of this film is to capture the moment and feelings of travelers on a specific moment. It also made us realize that the world is awesome and there is just so much to learn.

I give this movie 4.25/5

68. In to the Wild (3.75/5)



Just found out that this movie was directed by Sean Penn. The screenplay was also written by Sean Penn. The movie is great,  reminds me of 127 hours, but this one has more depth to it. More story. More like a strong character perspective. The story is about a man who decided to cut his connection to society, live life on his own, the way he wanted it to be. TRUE PRICELESS freedom.

Hahaha, but I can never do what he did.

The character Chris on the movie reminds me of NPAs here in the Philippines. But then I adore this guy for standing up on what he believes in. I admire him for being sure of himself. He is smart and all, but he is weird in some sense.

This is based on a true story which makes it more beautiful.

I give this movie.. goes, why do I end up wanting to grade a movie higher after reminiscing what happen?

I'll add a couple of points.. instead of 3.5, I give this movie 3.57/5
