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

59. Shawshank Redemption (5/5)



I know this movie deserves a longer and in-depth review from everyone, but Ill make a short one. Pardon.

I love this movie. I haven't watched Prison Break yet, but the makers of that TV series might have also gotten their inspiration from this movie. I love how calm and positive the main character is. I love his outlook in life, I love how he didn't loose hope. He is like the humble unsung hero of Shawshank Redemption. All I can say is that this movie is so dramatic. Made me teary-eyed on some parts.

I love the scene about music. The scene when his student got killed. The ending too! And the fucking term "institutionalized" is freaking sad!!!!!!! We shouldn't be like that! THE WORLD IS BIG! And colorful!!!!

Director and Screenwriter is Frank Darabont. Inspired from the short story of Stephen King

I give this movie 5/5

58. Rango (5/5)



KILL ME AGAIN BUT I LOVE THIS MOVIE!!!!

Well, on the first half of it, I was like bored like hell. Specially that I am watching a very blurred pirated copy. But there was this one scene that I freaking love that I couldn't resist giving it a perfect score! The scene when Rango was talking to The Spirit of the West!

And hey, if it was a clear copy there is no doubt I would be giving this movie a perfect score even before seeing that particular scene!

And, I sneaked on some clips on youtube about the making of this movie. After seeing Johnny Depp and the other voices behind this movie, I can say that this movie is made out of fun! They were like playing around, doing a private stage play while they do the voiceovers! Sounds really fun!

I give this movie 5/5! I want to watch it on a clear copy though! :)

57. I Love You Phillip Morris (4/5)



Hahahahaha. I love rainbows. I love unicorns. Flowers. Stuff toys. Colors. Cute little things. And gay guys. Hahaha.

Well, this movie is funny and light. I love Jim Carrey's acting! And I love how Ewan look so hot in blonde hair, and was he blue eyed to? So cute and cuddly, you just want to say... awwwww.

This story is also based on a true to life story, and it is very similar with Catch Me If You Can. Both movies are based on a true to life story, the huge difference is that I Love You Philipp Morris story circles on the love story of two specific GAY guys. I enjoyed this movie a lot! Really! And the twist is just so mean, and absurd--- I feel fooled too. But still, Jim Carrey is great! :)

I give this movie 4/5



56. The Rock (3.95/5)



So, this one is an old movie. It was released 1996 so this one is 15 years old now. It is funny how you recognize the change of movie's pacing while you go back and watch the old ones. But then, during its time-- I think this was the movie of the year!

Character development of all the characters are well done. There are character arcs, and you could even empathize with the antagonists. I understand the reason of the antagonist (Hummel), there is a character there. A point of view, a perspective that is reasonable. At some points, you feel that the antagonist is also the protagonist on his own story. It is sad that sometimes the government and powerful people could be so greedy. I promise not to be selfish when I am already on the high ranks. Hehe.

I give this movie 3.95/5
