Insidious


Happy Halloween, everyone!

Since it's Halloween today, I should talk about the horror movie, shouldn't I?

And this horror movie is really good!

I really liked the worldview of it.

You might think it's unrealistic, but everything makes sense in this movie. (Who expects horror movies to be realistic anyways?!)

Also, how the story goes is very interesting.

I was like "what the hell is going on?!" for first 30 minutes lol

I totally couldn't guess how this movie ends.

It was a quite unusual experience because horror movies are usually very straightforward.

You can usually foresee what will happen next.

I believe this story developing makes this movie scary!

Of course, the atmosphere of the movie is created well!

I think this is a great movie for Halloween.

So, watch this if you are having a horror movie night tonight and have not decided what you should watch!

Lilja 4 Ever


I have no idea what to say...

I knew it would be really depressing movie even before I watched it, but it is a sad story.

This is a story about a girl who is abandoned by her mother and tries to find her own happiness.

However, she faces any kinds of difficulties...

It is totally opposite to typical Hollywood success stories.

I'm not saying that Hollywood movies are unrealistic, but this movie tells how unfair the life is no matter how you behave.

There are unfortunate things in the world, and some people have to take it.

I think that Oksana Akinshina does good job acting how the girl tries to makes things better around her without any certain knowledge.

She does not lose her hope although she faces difficulties or nothing turn out as she imagines.

I think you would not want to watch it if you don't like sad stories though.

2001: A Space Odyssey


This is one of my favorite movie!

This is very interesting movie at the same time this can be the most irritating movie ever lol

I like it because it have extremely enigmatic ending.

I cannot really understand what it supposed to mean though I have seen this movie so many times!

For same reason, this can be irritating if you don't like ambiguous stories.

But I would say there are many features that attracts you too.

First of all, the use of the sound is amazing!

There are not much conversations in this movie.

This is one of the quietest movie I have ever seen, so this isn't the best movie to watch when you feel tired or sleepy lol

But the music creates a lot of effect, so you sort of understand how you are supposed to feel about what you see on the screen even though you do not hear a word, which is very impressive.

And second, it is interesting that you understand what it supposed to mean without any lines.

How it is visualized is quite splendid.

As I said, there are not many conversations, so you basically see the objects on the screen, but you understand what is going on.

Especially, first part of the movie has no conversation, but you understand what is going on so clearly.

It has very unique world view, and you probably don't understand much, but you are forced to be part of the world because you witness everything and try to solve the enigma the characters face.

I really think this is a great movie, so you should watch it when you have a chance.

You might feel it is long, but it is worth it!

X-Men First Class


I have watched all series so far, but I don't think I can call myself as a big fun of X-men series.

In fact, I watched it after the DVD came out lol

However, I have to admit the fact that I enjoy watching them.

I liked this one particularly because this reveals backgrounds of other stories.

I was expecting to watch action scenes with descent story as X-men movies usually do, but I was very impressed by the well organized story.

The backgrounds makes the other stories interesting because you are now able to see these stories from different perspectives.

You can also see the beginning of the relationship between characters, which gives you more insights of the characters you already knew.

What I liked the most about this movie is that historical facts are used very well in the story.

Since there are some historical facts we all know are involved, it is more realistic and we can see emotional conflicts the characters have.

Of course, the acting and action scenes are very enjoyable to watch as well.

It might be a little difficult for kids to understand what is going on fully since there are some complicated relations and history.

But I do recommend to watch this movie even though you are getting sick of X-men series.

I bet you want to other X-men movies after you watch this lol

The Birds


Yes, I love this movie!!

I believe this is one of the most famous movie diferected by Alfred Hitchcock.

The reason why I like this movie is that this movie shows how scared people are.

You see people are really scared of birds which start attacking people without any understandable reasons.

Then you start being scared of birds too.

I remember I could not look at birds after watching this movie when I was a kid lol

Because birds are everywhere and you see them very often, you think you know them well.

However, this movie tells how little we know about them and how easy we get panic if something unexpected happens.

I guarantee you that you don't regret, so watch it if you haven't seen this!

By the way, this is not the official trailer, I think.

I just picked this one because I think this is really good trailer.

The Virginity Hit


This movie reminds me of American Pie lol

I don't lie that I understand the feeling why teenage kids try to lose their virginity lol

Well, I guess everyone has gone through this, right??

This kid might be a little too desperate, but you understand him more or less.

That is why it is so funny to watch this kind of movie, don't you think?

This might remind you of your youth because the kids in this movie seems normal teenagers.

Well, they might be a little weird, yet I bet you knew stupid kids like them.

So, this is nostalgic in a sense because you laugh at yourself as you laugh at them if you understand their feeling.

I don't think you regret if you don't see this movie, but it might be fun to watch this movie with a couple of beer on your hand lol

Intimacy


Well, I don't really know what to say about this movie, to be honest lol

There is very strange relationship between a man and a woman.

Both have their own problems, and they try to fill their emptiness with physical intimacy, sex.

I don't really think I understand a bit of their emotional conflicts they struggle.

It was very wired to watch this extremely odd relationship because there seems to be no solution.

What they do actually cause more problems from my perception.

Well, I might not have enough life experience to understand any of it lol

Though I was not very impressed by the story, I liked the acting.

Their facial expressions are very good.

And the atmosphere is well created.

By the way, there are a lot of sex scenes and I heard that the actors make love for real.

It is probably true.

So, I was wondering if you can call it porn.

It is obvious that the focus of this movie is not sex, but they are making love very often in the movie.

I have a feeling that someone calls it porn and does not understand the story much, which I kind of understand because sex has a very important roll in their relationship, and that's this movie is about.

I personally think this isn't porn, but you can probably ague that too.

Well, if you think you are a porn expert, let me know what you think lol
