Mind-Blowing Movies (Part 1)

There are so many kind of movie genre. There are action, sci-phi, fantasy, mystery, etc.
I want to talk about movies which make my head hurts, or confusing.
The story is unbelievable, crazy, and expected that makes audience wonder what happens in that movie.
I recommended you all to watch this kind of movies, because you will be thinking, not boring.
okay first is SHUTTER ISLAND

This movie casts Leonardo Di Caprio as Edward Teddy. Interesting to watch of course.
The story is in 1954, two U.S. Marshals — Edward "Teddy" Daniels and his new partner, Chuck Aule — travl to the Ashecliffe Hospital for the criminally insane on Shutter Island located in Boston Harbor. They are investigating the disappearance of patient Rachel Solando, who was incarcerated for drowning her three children. Their only clue is a cryptic note found hidden in Solando's room: "The law of 4; who is 67?" They arrive just before a storm hits, preventing their return to the mainland for a few days.
This movie is kind of scary, crazy, and unexpected. The audience has been made wondered about what is the objective of Teddy, who is the 67 that he is trying to know.
So many mystery on that Island, he follows every clue he finds. And that is it, the ending....He is looking for himself. The number 67 is Him, Teddy.
The plot is so well patched, make the audience keep following the movie even it has long duration, because if we miss just one part of the movie, we can't follow the story.
the first time I watch this, I am kind of "whaaaaattt?"so mind-blowing. It makes the audience thinking and use their speculation.
My friend said that He is the crazy man, he just do not realize it since the beginning of the movie, he is asylum patient.
But I think that he is trapped, all what happened is set by the people who in charge in that Island to get Teddy crazy and put him in the Asylum.

Second is Oblivion

In 2077, the Earth has been devastated by war with an extraterrestrial invader, the Scavengers (Scavs). Humanity is relocating to Saturn's moon Titan via the Tet, a large, tetrahedral space station. Gigantic offshore fusion energy generators drain the oceans to produce power for the colonists on Titan.
Stationed at Tower 49, Tech 49 Jack Harper (Tom Cruise) and his teammate and lover Victoria "Vika" Olsen (Andrea Riseborough) are among the few humans left on Earth. Instructed by mission controller Sally (Melissa Leo) and assisted by drones, they protect the generators from attack by the remaining Scavs. Despite having had a memory wipe (for security reasons, in case he is captured by the Scavs), Jack experiences visions from before the war, featuring an unknown woman.
This movie is similar with shutter island, but it sets on the future and has more badass action, and tech (who doesnt love future tech?).
During his time with Scavs, he realizes his past, he knows who he is and starts doubting about Tet.
The twist is that Jack harper is not just one. Tet made him, program him to work for them. That is why when Jack died, another Jack will show up. But, it reveals in the end of the movie.
so, during you watch it, you still have no idea what happens.
and this kind of movie has a good review, I dont know why, maybe because it is not cheap-written.

Third is Edge of Tomorrow

This movie tells about an alien race (Mimics) trying to invade Earth. Tom Cruise as Bill Cage who is forced to be in the front line of the battle. In that battle Bill kills one kind of mimics that can repeat the time, and then he gets that power. Then, he dies but he wakes up in the time before he goes to the war and just realizes that he gets this power.
He keeps death, and wakes up again until he finds someone who can trust, Vratasky (Emily Blunt).
They are trying to kill the Omega. The leader of Mimics.
This movie is cool, battle, war, action, alien, people love it.
But it is also confusing and sometimes it makes me boring because it is like going on the loop.
The scenes of the movie is repeated everytime, yeah "live.die.repeat". We kind of seeing the movie and then someone play it back to see what happened before. It makes the movie feels so long, even though the movie is not that long.


Okay, Those are for now, I will post another next time. so Thank you and don't forget to watch it if you have free time of course.

The Conjuring 2 (review)

*spoiler alert

This movie is the sequel from 'The Conjuring'
The main characters in this movie are still paranormal couple, Ed and Lorraine. even though, this movie puts the focus on the family that being haunted, especially a little girl named Janet (the picture above).
This movie really has good plot, I mean we will be kind of surprise about the resolution. during the movie played, the audience will be wondering, "why Ed and Lorraine  don't do something about that family?", "why don't they notice it?", or another questions like that.
yeah I also wondered about that in the cinema, they like useless (not like in the first movie). Of course there's reason behind this. And the reason is 'Valak'.
Valak is the interpretation of the devil in the movie. It doesn't appear much in this movie, it just shows up in the beginning, middle, and end, and its existence has nothing to do with that haunted family, audience will think about it first.
Because the ghost who haunted the family is and old man, who lived and died in that house. Ed and Lorraine just realize that old man was forced by an evil spirit, that is 'Valak'. (I said to myself "Finally, something clear).
Okay stop talking about the story, you better watch it by yourself.
About the jump scares, it really scary but I can say it is not that scary as the first one. Maybe because I am scared and prepared myself every time a loud sound came out. haha. Yeah it is about Sound effect (Insidious 3 is even scarier for me).
Maybe because the ghosts are not that scary. I mean they are scary, old man and valak, I give 6 and 7. But, the crooked man ghost is kind of cheesy and funny. It almost made me laugh but I realized it is a horror movie.
Last, I will show the MVP. Valak.

Behind Lorraine, that is Valak (sorry I can't get a better picture)
Scary enough, right?
It steals the show. It becomes famous in the social media. There are so many memes about Valak, which kind of a big spoiler for the ones who has not watched the movie. Because the word 'Valak' is the important element in that movie. And also because of the memes, It lost its pride as a devil, haha joking. But I am kind of disappointed about the way it was beat, I mean it is stupid way but what can I say? The movie is still a 'boom'.
 this the trailer for you :

Thank you for reading.
Sorry If I make a mistake.
Have a good day

Educational mental system weakened

I am interested in the news about a teacher who was jailed because of  pinching her one of the students.

actually, in the educational system, this case is something usual or normal that can happen everyday. because  that is kind of punishment for the student if they make mistake. teachers are students' parents at school, so they have right to punish their student if the students do something wrong.

Giving punishment is something that helps students to build up their mental and also to make students evaluate themselves what they are given punishments, so they will regret it and not do it again. Those things will develop the students or we can say children to more respect to others and can doing well in society activities.

if they are not given the direction or guidance, they will be lost. they will become kind of people who always do whatever they want without considering the other people. the point is that no matter how many times the teachers hit (in the normal level), mad, yell or others, they did it to give a good for their students, to make them strong, and useful for the other people.

no matter how killer the teacher is, there is no teacher that does not hope the best for his/her students. 

so the parents have to understand, if their children get punishment, it means that they do something bad and parents should give them advice, so they will not get punishment again.

the condition is changed right now, not only the students who have weak mental, the parents also do. they just take decision without thinking forward, without seeing the background, it is because they are capable to do anything that makes them not respect others.

in my school age, when we get punishment from the teacher, we will not tell our parents because it is a shame, and if our parents know that they will give us punishment too. the parents at that time have high social understanding, they know that people or in this case teacher will not harm their children if they do not make mistake. it will lead them to be a good people.

so as parents or students or teachers, we have to consider our actions, there is limitation of every actions we take, do not across the line, and if we want to make decisions we have to respect to others do not make decisions that will only have benefits on you. Insyaallah, if we do all of those stuff, there will be no understanding between people that can make thing even worse.

greetings

sorry

bye

thank you

please give me a feedback

Goal Movie Trailer 2005

Goal 2 Movie Trailer

Those two trailers are from movies entitled "Goal". These movies tell about person named Santiago Munez, The son of a gardener who lives in a barrio section of Los Angeles, Santiago works as a busboy in a Chinese restaurant and helps with his father's gardening business. His ultimate dream is to play football professionally. He gets a chance when a scout talent from England watch his performance and then takes him into England to play with Newcastle. At first, he performs poorly and almost failed but then he keeps working until his hard work gives him the result, that is play as regular player in the club. even in the second movie he can play alongside with Beckham and Ronaldo in Real Madrid.

maybe we think this story is too over written like it will never happen in real life, but actually there is so many similar event that related to this movie. for example like Christiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi. Before they became best players, they also lived in difficult life like this in movie.

Messi's house then

Messi's House now

It is proved that nothing impossible for us as long as we work hard fro everything we want to be.

And the most phemonenal issue that happened recently is 'Leicester City' with 'Mahrez' and 'Jamie Vardy'.

Leicester was never expected to become Champion of BPL, because there are so many big club in that league like Man. Utd, Man. City, Arsenal, Liverpool, Chelsea, and Spurs. 

And the most phenomenal players that helped Leicester to become champion are Mahrez and Vardy.

Ryan Mahrez and Jamie Vardy

Last year, they are almost unrecognized because Vardy almost could not help Leicester to stay in BPL, and Mahrez played for Le Havre in second division of Football French.

But this year they proved themselves as great football player and won "Player of The Year" and "Top scorer of BPL".

what we get from the stories above??

we know that nothing is impossible for those who believe. 

those players above started they life poorly and never expected to become popular people.

so what we have to do is keep working no matter life keeps drag you down from your dream, we have to live it up, we never know what will happen to us tomorrow, what we know that our action today will lead us to better or bad future, and there is no word "late" for us to make the difference. so live your life wisely. No pain No gain. 

no potato just a quote for you

Mrs. Muna Sungkar delivered her materials

Young Entrepreneur in Global World 2016 is an event-seminar held by Mr. Arif Suryo Priyatmojo. The purpose for the event is to give the workshop or knowledge about becoming entrepreneur in the proper ways. Helding on Saturday April 23rd at Dekanat Building of Faculty of Language and Arts, State University of Semarang.  The materials were delivered  by three expert enterpreneurs, there are Yohanes Yudha Barata (Hotel Management), Muna Sungkar (Blogger), and Andy Taru (CEO of Educa Studios).

Each presenter shared their knowledge and experiences to the audience, students of State University of Semarang, First speaker, Mr. Barata, told about how to manage the hotel in the proper ways. The explanation was well-packed and well-delivered, so the audience kept their attention to him. The audience became understand how to manage a business well.

The Second Speaker was a blogger, or we can say she is momtraveler blogger. Her name is Muna Sungkar. She is a mom, blogger, and traveller, which made it interesting. She told us how to manage our blog in detail, from the promotion, idea, networking, and also the most interesting is making money. Not only that, she is also known as a traveller, but not the usual traveller, she always brings her child her. She also published books about her traveling. 

The last speaker was Andy Taru, a programmer who published the learning application for kids. He inspired the audience to built their own company and work for the development of Indonesia. His company, Educa Studio, is the company that makes the apllication for kids, helps them to study and playing educational games. 

The main point of their materials is that hard work and dont give up. Everyone of them was failed, but later on they still do what they want to and bacome success. There's no something that called talent, what does exist is Hard Work. And if we still think about talent, just remember "hard work will beat talent, when talent doesnt work hard.

Since my blog consists of movie review, I'd like to relate those things above with movie. We have seen or known many movies about someone's success,one of the example is Steve Jobs. Yeah they are not even close with Steve Jobs, but we can't deny in the future they maybe became more succesfull than him, and become the inspiration of many people. 

I am sure it will be great to make the story and movie about their life.

Be proud of Indonesian Entrepeneur !!! Movie !!! 

Support their hard work by using their product, visiting their product, and buying their product !!!

Salam !!! Bye !!!

The Equalizer (Review)

The Equalizer (2014)

*Spoiler alert
Trailer :

The Equalizer is an action movie that tells about a mysterious background man trying to have a new beginning, but left his past until. Then, he meets a young girl who is worked by Russian gangster and he's trying to set her free from them.

Cast :

• Denzel Washington as Robert McCall. A usual man who lives his life normally like the others, until he fights the Russian gangster and leave so many questions about who he was.
• Chloe Grace Moretz as Teri. A young girl who is forced to work as a prostitute under Russian control.
• Marton Csokas as Teddy. An ex-Russian army who has one job, to make sure there's no problem in Russian business.

The action of this movie is great, as you expected from Denzel Washington. He is a big actor, so it is not something surprising to see him play very well. However, I am more excited with Chloe Grace Moretz here. We can say that she is under 18 when played this movie, but she played well as an older bad girl here (Teri). She is beautiful though, I love to see her in any movies (just kidding lol). The idea is to keep the audience wondering about Robert's (Denzel)  background or past life, and this movie, even gives some scene that relates to his past, we can clearly see who he was, and this is very interesting for me. I think he is a former special force or US elite army, as we can see how badass he is (see the fighting scene). He looks harmless and calm, but he is very brutal. He has no doubt in killing people, the Russian gangster of course, and then the robber who robbed the store where he works at (You can see in the trailer above, when the robber take a woman's ring, then he uses a hammer to kill and get the ring back). I really like this movie but I think the protagonist (Robert) is too strong and unstoppable. He can fight all of the members of that Russian gangster without dropping any sweat (this is just a term), even Teddy, who is a well-trained soldier, is easily beaten by him. This movie ends with a happy ending. Luckily, Teri doesn't kiss Robert (she did actually, kiss cheek), If she does, I can take it (lol).
Here you can watch his on of most baddass action. Enjoy.

In The Heart Of The Sea (Review)

In The Heart Of The Sea (2015)

*spoiler alert
Trailer :

In the Heart of the Sea is an adventure-drama movie based on the incredible true story that inspired best-selling fiction novel, Moby Dick.

Director: Ron Howard
Writers  : Charles Leavitt (Screenplay and story), Rick Jaffa and Amanda Silver (Story), & Nathaniel Philbrick (Book)

Stars :

• Chris Hemsworth played as Owen Chase. He is the son of the farmer but his father got jailed and then he became a whale hunter.
• Benjamin Walker played as Captain George Pollard. He is the son of the owner of harbor industry who controls the whale's oil trading.
• Tom Holland played as Thomas Nickerson. He is the amateur boy who joins sailing to get whale's oil. He becomes the important part of the movie because he is the one who is telling the truth about what happens in the sailing.

Almost everyone knows what or who is Moby Dick, but they do not know the origin of a story behind this amazing myth. In in the heart of the sea, it is trying to make an origin story about how Moby Dick could exist. The story starts with a novelist, Herman Melville, who is also the writer of Moby Dick, trying to get an amazing story about a monster issue of the sea by asking Thomas Nickerson, one of the survivors. It looks like that the movie wants to include the real writer to make this movie feels the exactly what happened back then. The story is well-packed with some epic adventures of the characters on the ocean and portrays it with  a realistic event about what happened. Not only about the adventure, it is also describing the social status back then perfectly. How Owen Chase can't be the captain even with a lot of experiences, because of George Pollard, who has higher status than Chase. The first sight of Large White Whale is amazing, big, beast, full of scratch that indicates it have survived many attacks from whale hunter. It protects other whales by attacking any ship who is trying to capture them. After this scene, something that I think too brutal happens to them. In order to survive, they do random vote to decide who will die and then, the others will eat his/her body. However, it looks real because we can't survive with nothing and this movie portrays it well. I have a little disappointment about the White Whale because it only appears several minutes, and there is no story why this White Whale exist. But in overall, this movie is amazing and I enjoy to watch it.
