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

70. The Girl with a Dragon Tattoo (3.25/5)



Hmmm.... a nice suspense film, I was expecting a fantasy movie like Harry Potter, with super powers and all that. Lo and Behold, it was a suspense, crime investigative movie.

I love how they found clues using pictures, very interesting. The pictures are scary too, I am afraid the movie would turn in to something horror because I was watching at very late night. I stopped and watched the next day, and it was just a suspense movie. A nice one.

I just hate because the copy that was given to me was dubbed... or I don't know.. the mouth sometimes is not  sync with the voice, so I assume it is dubbed. I always prefer subtitles, but then... coming from a suspense film, I don't know if I prefer subtitles... BUT I ALWAYS PREFER SUBTITLES NO MATTER WHAT. Hate this habit and dependency of mine.

Movie is dark, cold, yet amazing... There is a rape scene, and the revenge was... ech, the old man deserved it, but I don't know how to react...  I want to puke.

And, the girl protagonist has such small breasts. Haha! Just a random thought.

I give this movie a  3.25/5

65. I am Number Four (3.25/5)



Hmmm... I don't know what's up with me these days, I prefer funny and light movies...

I am number Four is a movie about a guy from another planet. He is one of the remaining of their kind and some other beings are hunting them. Guys like the main character has super powers. I feel the movie too physical, no emotional story. I don't know if I am affected with my drama writing workshop, but yeah, the story felt a little shallow.

I think the star of the movie Alex Pettyfer is a great actor, but boring stiff main characters are not just for me.

Dianna Agron (Quinn from Glee) was the main character of the show and I love her character being a photgrapher and all. I love Quinn. Hehe.

Very short character arc, I actually had forgotten a lot of parts. Blame my stupid memory. But as I write, I remember the dog... MORPHING! COOL SHAPESHIFTER!

I'll try to watch this again soon.

I give this movie 3.25/5

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. :)
