Gone (2012)

Gwang's rating : 0 /10.0

Good morning everyone! My clock tells me that it is 2:30 am in the morning. As a proverb goes, an early bird catches a worm. I am that early bird. Today, I would like to share a recent movie, Gone (2012). I went to College 9 Theater with friends. Just to mention, Gone was not my optimal choice. I wanted to watch "the Vow" but two others turn down my suggestion. Gosh, that was harsh and the payoff of watching "Gone" was more harsh. Anyway, so three of us went into the theater and watched a movie. Then,


What in the world?


The first impression I got when I finished watching the movie. Being an optimist, I prefer not to be harsh on the work that people have worked hard on it, but it is time to speak up because I am the movie samurai! I have a responsibility to protect your eyes, brains, and times from being wasted!

The story is about a woman who is being chased by a kidnapper. One day her sister got disappeared but the police wouldn't believe her because she was sent to a mental hospital before. Then, she decides to go find her sister by herself and found her. That's it.

There were some actions scenes in the movie, but the movie could've been better without those action scenes. Those naive action scenes just prove the point that the producer didn't spend enough money on this movie, such as, in a timing when a police car and another car were supposed to hit, they don't hit and stop in a far distance. The reason why I give a negative impression on lacking of violence could be because whether I am exposed to Hollywood movies too much or the movie didn't really spend enough money on it. I'm not asking for more invest but asking for higher quality of scenes. Moreover, there are some major flaws in the story plot which I do not have enough time to mention! If you want your two hours to be wasted for nothing, I highly recommend you to watch this movie!

Have a good day all!

Titanic (1997)

Gwang's rating : 10.0/10.0

Hey, everyone! How are you doing!

I hope you had a wonderful week and are ready for a coming weekend! Since it is supposed to rain during this weekend in State College, I shall enjoy some extra hours of sleep even more!

One of my best movies of all times was born in 1997 and now it is about to be new-born in 6th of April, 2012. I am so excited for it since now it will be on the screen with a 3D technology. It is even more exciting that I will be able to see Kate Winslet's early 20's on the screen again (plus, young Mr. DiCaprio)! Titanic! How long have I been waiting for you to come out again! Thanks to James Cameron.

You guys might wonder why I love this movie so much. So, I must tell you why this movie is so great. Get ready to be convinced!

First, have you ever fell in love with someone in a split moment? I would call it a destiny. It is hard to fall in love with someone whom you have not known for awhile; because they do not know about each other and what they think of each other. It requires a courage to follow an instinct. In reality, we might get charged for a sexual assault or harassment if we try to be romantic with people whom we just met. In this perspective, I was attracted to Titanic because it illustrated a romance that I always long for. I guess it could be the reason why many people watch movies because movies makes impossibility to be possible in them.

Second, I love how Jack (Leonardo DiCaprio) appealed to Rose (Kate Winslet) in the movie. Kate is from a high class family and Jack is from a working class. Jack get stuck on Rose at the first sight and he wants to impress her. It would've been hard for me to talk to her in this situation but Jack did it boldly and he even told Rose that he only has ten dollars in his pocket and that's it. Furthermore, when Jack invites Rose to his pub party, I was so fascinated that Jack is not ashamed or embarrassed of what he had and then he shown himself truly to Rose in the movie. Think of you dating with a daughter of Prime Minister or a duke of York. Would you be comfortable showing all of yourself to those people? I think it would be pretty hard for me if I must impress a woman to love me in a short time. Titanic becomes more attractive at this point.

Last, I just love the theme song, My Heart Will Go On by Celine Dion. Some men say they don't like this song, but I think they do. They just pretend not loving this song because they are afraid of being a fan of romantic songs. I think that is wrong and I love this song. The wonderful lyrics marinates the movie to be great from being cool.

I just can't wait to see Titanic 3D on 6th of April. I'm not sure whether State College theaters are going to get this movie so I really hope they do.

I definitely recommend you to go watch this movie with your romantic partner. We might not be as good looking as Leonardo DiCaprio or Kate Winslet, however, our romances should never be undervalued!

See you next week!

The Girl with The Dragon Tattoo (2009)

Gwang's rating : 8.7/10.0

Hi everyone,

How was your spring break? I hope you had a great time! Whenever I have a lot of time, I usually watch a series of movie, such as, the Lord of the ring, and Harry Potter. Since those movies are quite familiar to you guys, I am going to introduce some unique movie series called "The Girl with The Dragon Tattoo". You might have heard of this movie because the remake version came out in the last year in English version but the original version was made in Sweden and I think the original is better than the new one. So here it is, The Girl with The Dragon Tattoo!

The story line is quite simple. A financial journalist and a hacker gets hired by a person who is trying to find a girl that was missing for 40 years. The combination of the journalist and the hacker is quite a peice and those two faces some threats and obstacles given by the people who try to stop them from the investigation.

Though story line is simple, the character of the hacker makes the movie so special, she is described as an anti-social individual who is also illustrated as an ugly woman (but the actress was gorgeous so that the writer's intention wasn't portrayed well). The fight between the girl and the society becomes a big issue at the end.

So the big plot is about the finding the missing girl, but the real story is about how the girl with the dragon tattoo finally recognized as a normal person and stay away from many social injustices.

This movie have shown some good aspect of the media. This movie reminded me of the influence of the media to the public and how important it is for journalists to be honest and brave to scrutinize social injustice.

Overall, the movie creates some gloomy atmosphere, however, that atmosphere makes the movie to be more attractive.

One of the Must Have Watch movie!

Enjoy!

White Collar (2009- Cont.)

Gwang's rating : 9.1/10.0

Hi folks,


Today, I am going to review a Television series, White Collar, which I started watching about two weeks ago. In short, I'm watching this series everyday night (even when I have to sacrifice my sleep hours) and I almost finished the season 1, and it gets just better. I know my blog is supposed to introduce movies to you but I have a strong feeling about this TV series today, White Collar.

http://lamisaraziz.wordpress.com/

White Collar is a police-procedural drama that gives you the fake-glimpse of what FBI agents are doing for their jobs. Though some might say it is just another typical type of FBI, CIA TV series, I guarantee White Collar is something special and here are some reasons.

White Collar scenarios heavily depends on the main character, Neal Caffrey, who is a white color criminal,works with FBI instead of serving his years in a prison. He is illustrated as a genius guy in the story which may lessen some people's interests, but the drama gets so interesting when Neal speaks up and solve the people. My most favorite part is whenever Neal is trying to flirt with girls. I always wish I could talk as well as he does. So I would say, for me, White Collar is not just entertaining but educational as well (I see boys are already looking up on Google).

I wish I were like him sometimes.

There is another main character, Peter Burke, a mid-age FBI agent, who is in direct-charge of Neal Caffrey. Neal and Peter always work together but it seems like Peter doesn't trust Neal and check on him all the time, though Peter worry out Neal's safety sometimes. White Collar illustrate an invisible fight over people and draws some distrust atmosphere around Neal that creates some uncertainty and curiosity from the people. I like this concept since it wouldn't make sense that FBI trusts Neal Caffrey completely, who is a white color criminal.

I have more to say, but I will let you watch the series and tell me how it was. Everything is better to experience than overhear from someday. Experience is everything. I strongly recommend you to watch White Collar (especially boys who would like to learn how Neal plays his game).

Have a great spring break everybody & Enjoy!
