Gadis Kretek (2023)
One of the best Indonesia Cinema
When I first bought the novel and read , It was beautiful crafted. Although the story it's similar like another love story. And at first I was skeptical about the movie. But it's completely perfect casts and emotional as the novel. From the music score, art direction, costumes, direction all perfect. In the era of cheap lousy horror movies and so so drama movies, Cigarette Girl or Gadis Kretek comes as the winner above that all. See this and you will miss our heritage tradition about cigarettes. The movie should be included in any major awards, well deserved and memorable scenes and songs. Grade A.
Miracle in Cell No. 7 (2022)
A Soapy Film with Telenovela Style
I'm was in low expectation when a company invited for movie gathering in a theater. And it was true, the movie itself overlong, another telenovela style
with polished handsome , cute pretty main actors/actresses. I walked out theater almost end of the movie because boring as ever. If you like a soapy telenovela, you'll loved this. I recommend Ngeri Ngeri Sedap which is more original, great acting and story than this Miracle in Cell No.7 Indonesian version. It's torturing boring drama. The director must change his formula, as it was the same level as his another movies. Sorry , even KKN Desa Penari looks entertain than this movie.
Encanto (2021)
Boring
Disney, Encanto and Luca are the worst and boring Disney's Animated Movie of all time. Although Luca's better. The songs are just too cliche and pain in my ears. In the first 15 minutes, I already skip this movie. Sorry, but could be better.
The Intern (2015)
In 2021, this movie touch me a lot
In 2020 a pandemic covid virus hits the world. Every people got affected. In 2021, last May my dad passed away, in June i've been demolished by office due to slow income and cut some senior staff. And what i'm thinking, this movie inspires me, that i still have potential.
The Lion King (2019)
Disasters in the Air
I saw this 2019 version last monday, for me, this is one of the worst Disney's live action (though Aladdin's little bit better than this). Visually good, but i thought the voice casting are not good enough compare 1994 version. Can you feel the love tonight's scene is totally worst, Beyonce's voice ruined the simple downhearted original version, it was like "Hey I'm Beyonce, I sing this song" plus Timon and Pumba 2019's version both cannot reach the high notes as 1994 version, Scar's in Be Prepared was also awful and painful to watch, no evil energy at all, Young simba's voice ? It's like hearing a boy reading from a book. Luckily the CGI is good, but overall this is disaster in the air and money maker movie with no soul.
