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

15. Silence of the Lambs (2.75/5)


Not my typical of movie if you ask me. I hate suspense/thrillers and horrors! But if you are an inspiring writer/filmmaker you need to watch everything!'

Sir Ricky had been mentioning this movie so I watched it. It was a thriller alright, but it is an old movie that was produced on the year of 1991. What? Almost 20 years ago! Wooooot woooot!

But then, it is a good movie. Story-wise, it is thrilling. You can't help but think the possibilities that such sick person exist. The gay guy (Bufallo Bill) who kills women to rip off their skin and use it to create a garment! SICK! And the character of Hanibbal Lecter, so sick as well. 

Really, not my type of movie. But I want the cinematography, specially the scene where Hannibal is caged, and the bars between Clarice and him disappears as the camera zooms. This was pointed out by Sir Ricky, its  more of a symbolism that their secrets are slowly revealed as Clarice opens up to Hannibal Lecter.

OH! Just googled, so there are prequels for this movie! Hmmmm. To Download or not to download? I'll download it too, and watch it before the year ends!

I give this movie a 2.75/5-- it is superb, well right superb, but not my type of movie. :)) I want movies with moral lessons, the movie is just down straight SICK. Hahaha

14. The Green Hornet (1.75/5)


Now, this movie I had watched with my former officemate Dothy. I rarely watch movies at cinema houses because I find it expensive, and I can't rewind or pause the movie if I wanted to.

Now, this is not your typical super hero movie. Weird seeing a sidekick way cooler than the hero himself. I wonder if this is the original story of Green Hornet.

I found Seth's character obnoxious, but then it gave me (probably the audience too) the realization that super heroes (or maybe media people, super stars, heroes on our country's histories) are not perfect as how media or books portray them. They are after all just humans. They have flaws, and maybe not at all heroes. 

I give this movie a 1.75/5

13. Sky Kids (3.69/5)


This movie had been lying around the house for quite sometime now. But its only until now that I decided to watch this movie. 

It is quite adventurous! I love it, reminds me of Huckleberry Finn, Tom Sawyer, Peter Pan. Stories that involves young boys wanting to explore and do some stuff, play and learn. 

 I love the flying scene, the scene where the two kids are left alone on the plane. With no experience of flying/operating the plane, they tried their best to have a safe landing. That's one of the coolest part! You can feel the anticipation, the panic, the want to successfully operate it. You feel that you are with them! It feels like an adventure on the sky! Also reminds me of Harry Potter 2 I think, where the Weasley's car turned into a flying vehicle!

The best part is the free falling part! OH I WANTED TO KNOW HOW IT FEELS FALLING FROM A HIGH ALTITUDE!

I love how this movie brought up the feeling of being a adventurous kid again! I want to fly a plane!! Smile!  :)

I give this movie a 3.69/5!! Awesomeness for the scenes I mentioned, but aside from that I think the story is simple. Very simple. :) People could summarize the story in 10 or less sentences.

12. 3 idiots (3.95/5)


Uhm, didn't expect that this movie will go like that. This is a feel good movie, and I think it could also work as a TV series. :) I can make this movie stretch into an episodic type. I am amazed, I realized a lot of things. Somehow, my adventure side got lost because of fear- I was even thinking that it is so unfair, Rancho only acts that way because he is rich! Suddenly, it is revealed that he is just a gardener's son who likes to learn... so, it only means...  

Yea, so much to analyze.. I want to ask where is his parents? But the point being-- I really want to embark on a great adventure someday! Someday, when I am sure my parents is all fine, and wouldn't worry about my whereabouts. And probably when I am brave and strong enough. BEFORE I TURN 25!!!

ALL IS WELL. DO WHAT YOU WANT TO DO! 

My new inspiration aside from Barney from HIMYM, would be Rancho from this movie the 3 idiots! :))

I rate this movie 3.95/5! The movie is so long! But I love the song and dance number and the majestic scenery at the end! :))
