Django Unchained -- (2012)
What a great movie!! Let me rate it 5 of 5 stars. I love it so much!! This is the first film can give me the perfect mixed feelings of sorry, sad, angered, hatred, hopes and amused at once.
What The Blacks have on their mind when they watch this? I curious at that stuff so much. I'm a person who strongly opposed any act of slavery. When I watched Django, "How could they do that cruel things? Is that really ever happened to the Blacks?" popped up in my mind and then my logic came back from nowhere. Those scenes had been selected from the real more sadistic happenings ever happened. That's true! No offense to any race, though.
The black comedy, wise words chosen, the characters' epic expressions and tones, how the director could create the perfect combination? Seriously, I felt my heart cut by the grief moments and suddenly there was a laughter from their jokes.
***
The title itself explained what's the main thing from this movie. It's about freedom. Django walking chained with other men who were the sold off slaves, stopped by a Germany man wanted to buy one of the slaves. He was Schultz, a dentist and bounty hunter. The masters were too arrogant made Schultz shoot them and freed Django as he knew the three wanted men he hunted. Since that, his name changed to be Django Freeman.
Django was the first man Schultz ever freed. That's why he felt responsible to help Django: help him to find his wife, Broomhilda. They started their duo bounty hunter partnership by killing one by one the wanted men Schultz hunted. Their hunting led them to the information who owned Broomhilda. He was Calvin Candie, the charming but brutal owner of plantation called Candyland. In Candyland, the slaves were forced to fight to the death to entertain their master, Candie. The fight called Mandingo.
It's not as easy as they thought to have a deal with Candie. His pride was above everything. Knowing the duo bounty hunters lied him just to free Broomhilda, made him wrath which finally sent him to the grave as well as Schultz.
***
Ugh! The Mandingo fight was the hardest scene to see. What other? When one slave named D'artagnan tried to escape from the plantation since he couldn't stand the Mandingo fight, caused Candie fed him to some wild dogs alive. I couldn't stand those scenes, Mr. Director Quentin Tarantino.
I was slightly bothered and shocked by the braveness of those some frontal lines, when Candie showed the cranium of his Black slave who took care his father and grandfather, and told that there were three points in the cranium showed the tissue of compliance nature, which there's no any other race in the world who had it bigger than the Blacks'.
Schultz's ridiculous behaviour even though constantly vigilant reminded me to Jack Sparrow so much. His funny mimics and conversations made me love him. TeeHee. And I felt so sad when saw he died. I love that uncle!
They even made jokes on Ku Klux Klan's white mask. Lol.
When Schultz shoot Candie to die and he then shoot by Candie's man, I felt the movie became spiritless. "Is it over?", "That's all?" "Disappointing, ugh!" But, I guessed Mr. Tarantino wanna make Django as the only rising star with his lady for justice. TeeHee. He back to the mansion when Candie's sister sent him to be a mine slave and killed everyone excluded two black women. I love that scene. It was like, "Now get what you've done!" Lol.
Candie was the cruelest but I hate Steven the most! Hey, people like Steven! How was it like to eat meat of your own brothers?
I forget to mention something. This movie was too gory. The spurted blood created new color to the plain wall.
I'm really bad in expressing my thought. There are still long, long lines I have in my mind but I'm a word indigent. There will never be anyone ever satisfied with my review and as well as I.

Case 39 -- (2009)
An old movie. Seem from its picture quality and of course TransTv won’t air new movie except in New Year moment. I watched this movie last night and I kinda feel like being cheated because I dunno it’s a horror movie. Bioskop TransTv (TransTv movie) usually aired the horror movies on Thursday night so I won’t start to watch it if I know the true colour. lol. I think it’s just a family movie as it’s aired on Sunday night and when I reach the level I-must-know-the-ending, the demon appeared and I watched alone -,-“ not really alone actually. There’s my mom beside me.. sleeping tightly.. with the turned off lamp! (¬▂¬)
It’s about Emily, a woman works in social institutions for solving children problem. They faced children with different problems and gave their parents solutions and advices in parenting. And her client in her 39th case is Lily. She tried to reject the case as she had had so many cases to solve but her partner refused her rejection. On her record, Lily noted as a withdrawn girl and didn’t play with friends. Emily gave a visit to Lily’s house and found what a creepy home she lived in and what a weird parents she lived with. Her mom had a pale face while her daddy had a weird temperament, he didn’t want to talk to other people when he was angry. And Lily, a little sweet girl who looked scared to her own parents. Emily tried her best to be able to ask Lily to speak up and when she had time to steal a conversation with Lily, Lily told Emily that her parents hated her and wanted to send her to the hell. (⊙_◎)
At one night, Emily got phone from Lily who said sorry and showed an indicate she was under her parents’ dangerous treat. Emily drove her car to Lily’s home in high speed and came on time before Lily’s parents baked their daughter in an oven though the girl had been tied and the oven almost worked. But Lily can be saved and her parents were sent to jail. Finish? No. If it’s that easy to save Lily from her parents, of course someone whose something wrong is.. Lily. (◣_◢)
Emily sent Lily to child-care institution but Lily begged her so she could live with Emily, with her innocent tone and sad expression. Emily said no at first but she effort to get the custody of Lily and presented that she was the best one who could take care Lily in front of the committee and she got it. Lily started to live with her. Emily went to Lily’s home to take her stuffs and found something weird. She saw her parents’ bedroom door had an extra lock like they wanna hide from something.
The weird incidents started to appear. Diego, Lily’s friend in the child-care institution found killed his parents at one night. And the police found that the number from Emily’s house had phoned Diego in the night he killed his parents. Emily explained that she never call Diego in the night. When Emily asked it to Diego, who phoned him at the night, the boy mentioned Lily.
Doug, Emily’s closest guy friend, who also work as kid psychiatrist in the institution, interviewed Lily like usual, to know her development after her parents’ arrested. Weirdly Lily answered ‘No’ for the whole questions asked to her included if she had something to fear about or not. In the opposite, Lily instead asked him if he had something to fear about and he answered it, on purpose to make Lily answered her own. Doug told that he was afraid of bee. After the interview, Doug told Emily that it’s the first time for him, talked to a little kid, but felt so threatened. And in the night, Doug got attacked by so many bees which out of his ear and mouth. And his fear of the bees made him injured himself till die.
Emily’s sadness of Doug’s death made her started to feel there’s something wrong with Lily and it made her visit Lily’s parents in jail. She saw the mother was being isolated and couldn’t get any visit and had been like a crazy woman because she always said that she was burnt. So Emily visit Lily’s father. Without any cue, Lily’s dad straight to the question, ‘who died?’
Emily shocked and feared after she knew Lily was not an ordinary little girl yet a demon. She had killed her mom’s three brothers and her dad’s two sisters. Father also said that Emily was the chosen one by Lily because she was a full of love woman. The only way to save from her was by killing her. And it could only be done if she slept but she never do it. The first time she slept was when her parents almost succeed to obliterate her by burning her in the oven if Emily didn’t come to ‘save’ her. Emily then asked Mike's (her friend) help to kill Lily but Mike faced the tragic incident, too. He was killed by wild dogs which unexpectedly, there were many wild dogs in the car park. At the first, Mike ignored Emily's asking his help to kill Lily because for him, Lily was a lier but not a devil. But then he believed after he found Doug's last phone recorder when he talked with Lily before he died.
At home, Emily put the extra locks in her bedroom door like what Lily’s parents had in their bedroom door. And everything got worst because Lily had known that Emily had known about her. Lily was refused by Emily when she wanted to come into her bedroom and she was angry. She changed to her real appearance, a demon with creepy bad face. Even though, Emily could not escape from Lily as Lily won’t never let her go. Emily asked what Lily wanted and she told that she wanted to be loved. Emily promised they would start everything again from the beginning. Emily make chamomile tea plus sleeping pills hopefully it could make Lily slept. And yes. Lily slept. Emily splashed fuel to the whole of her home and burnt it. She went out of her home and when the fire brigade asked her if everybody had went out or not, she looked wanna say yes till she saw Lily standing close to her.
Emily drove her car with Lily inside and her sad past remembrance of her mom and her car accident which caused her mom’s death, pop up in her mind. Lily laugh at the first but looked scared to see Emily drove the car inconsiderate. Emily like looking a chance to save from Lily. She inconsiderately drove her car till it jumped into the river/lake deliberately. With difficult Emily locked Lily who changed to her real appearance in the car and she swim above the water. And there’s no Lily who chased after her.

First Love (A Little Thing Called Love) -- (2010)
Khun Nam, a girl with a mediocre look, in her first year in M.1 (first grade in junior high) fell in love with her senior in M.4 (first grade in senior high), Khun Shone, the most popular boy in school. By all means Nam did everything in order to see or speak with Shone. Shone is an animal lover and a very caring person. Nam's father is an assistant chef in New York and when Nam's uncle (Chang) came to their house to deliver the news that if Nam or her sister Pang got the first rank in class, then she would go to America. Nam was very serious to be able to go to America because she realized she was not able to reach first rank.
Nam's best friends Cheer, Gei, and Nim help her to be able to get Shone, by way of using the book "9 Recipes of Love" and "Ways to Make Senior Like You". Nam said, the book does not make sense and choose to learn, but secretly Nam did what the book said.
When the sweltering day, Nam, Cheer, Gei, and Nim were waiting in line to buy drinks, and suddenly two basketball players, Maew and Ping, immediately came and broke through in a way that pushing those girls to fall. Shone saw them and immediately bought four drinks for Nam, Cheer, Gei, and Nim. When Shone was being in school's arena, suddenly those two basketball players had Shone a hit. The news known by Nam as Gei and Nim told her. Four of them straight back to the arena, and realized Shone, Maew, and Ping were gone, and Nam took the button that fell (Nam thought the buttons was Shone's belonging).
Whenever Nam wanted to get close to Shone, there was only a girl named Faye interrupting her. Such as when Nam wanted to give Shone an ice cream which because they forgot Thailand is a tropical country, the ice cream melted, Faye took that chance to give her mango cake to Shone. And when Nam thought she would be able to go home together with Shone, Faye pretended to be sprained so she could grab the chance right in front of Nam's face.
It's time to choose the after-school activities. Because the traditional dance club only opened to the beautiful girls, Nam and her girls joined the drama club where Teacher Inn, their homeroom who always used naff tricks to distract handsome male teacher, as the instructor and the director at once. Her three girls with the help of a senior girl, Pin, who was Shone's close friend, tried to beautify Nam who got the main role as a Snow White. When practising their drama, the student as the Prince role didn't come and Teacher Inn asked Shone to replace him in a part of kissing scene. Nam who thought it was only a hallucination, pushed Shone to almost fall. In the dressing room, Nam found a little bitten apple that she thought it was from Koy, the real prince player.
In one parade, headmaster tasked Teacher Inn to find a girl that would be the drum band majorette or if not, he would ask Teacher Orn (Teacher Inn's rival in love) to do that. Teacher Inn said she had found that girl although the truth was not. That's why she then lured Nam which ended by Teacher Inn begged her to be the drum band major. Willy-nilly Nam agreed and tried her best to be a good majorette.
With the help of her three best friends, Nam could show a good performance as well as a brand new pretty face looking and whiter skin. Immediately she became popular and got so many valentine gifts included from one transferred male student who was also Shone's best friend since childhood, Top, who fell in love with her. Sadly she got nothing from someone she was waiting for the most.
Finally Shone came with roses in his hands but he said it was from Top. Nam was sad and when she found a letter from someone telling her to meet up in the third floor. Nam followed the letter's instruction and there she met Shone up the stairs. She thought the letter was from him but at that time Top came to her, confessed his heart to Nam.
Nam had been accepted in Shone's gang and it made her three best friends thought she had changed. Not to mention when Nam preferred to join Shone and gang's picnic nearby a river instead of coming to celebrate Cheer's birthday. In a birthday party of one of Shone's friend, Top talked about his deal with Shone to not love the same girl which shocked her.
Nam realized her gang had avoided her. She cried and apologized. Cheer, Gei, and Nim then advised Nam to use Thai's way to get a boy's love: just confess it. Nam told the honesty that she never like Top and in the graduation day, Nam confessed her love to Shone. But she found Pin's name in Shone's uniform. Nam asked how long and Shone replied it had been one week for him and Pin. Nam cried but told she was okay.
At home, Shone opened his photo album and the flashback appeared. It turned out things had been going in Nam's mind were very different with the reality. Such as Shone kept the melted ice cream, Shone thought Nam was a very beautiful Snow White though he said there was no different in the before-after of Nam's make-up and the little bitten apple was from Shone. Shone planted the white roses by himself and because of being too nervous, he told the flowers were from his friend. Shone snapped so many pictures when Nam being a majorette and when Top declared his love, Shone got heartbreake. He put the photo album in front of Nam's house, because the next day Shone had to go to Bangkok to snatch his dream to be a football player. While Nam who got the first rank also would go to the States to live with her father.
9 years later, Nam who had been a famous designer met Shone who had been a soccer player and photographer in a talk show. Nam asked if Shone had married and he answered no. Because he had been waiting someone to back from USA.

Upside Down -- (2012)
 |
Finished to watch this movie last night with my sister and I satisfied with the plot idea and special effects, but got big disappointed by the end. They should prolong the duration to complete the story. Less than 2 hours? Django just took less than 15 minutes to fill 3 hours duration!
It's about two different planets Up the rich and Down the poor. The planets existed next to another with 3 gravity rules:
- All matter is pulled by the gravity of the world that it comes from, and not the other.
- An object's weight can be offset by matter from the opposite world (inverse matter).
- After some time in contact, matter in contact with inverse matter burns.
That means if someone from Up went to Down, she wouldn't be able to walk normally since she against the gravity. If she wished to, she need some materials from Down to make her body balanced the gravity in Down. But it would be obtained for limited times or if not, she will burn.
Adam Kirk, an orphaned from Down lived in seedy neighborhood and unhealthy environment with waste oil from Up, fallen in love with Eden Moore from Up where the perfection of sophisticated living found. They met in the mountain top, the closest place in which could unite people from the different planets. But, it's strictly forbidden for people from the planets to meet up. When Adam pulled Eden towards Down with rope and he carry her on his shoulder, they got caught by Down's authority. It's too late for Adam to send Eden back to Up since one man shoot him caused the rope detached and Eden fallen down, bleeding in her head.

Oz The Great & Powerful (2013)
Oscar 'Oz' Diggs was only a travelling circus magician with never-change and cheap tricks, poor, womanizing and cheater. When a strong circus man wanted to kill him as he knew Oz flirted with his wife, Oz escaped with his hot air balloon. But the balloon was sucked by huge tornado and Oz prayed he would be good man if he's allowed to live and the tornado brought him to Land of Oz. There he met there witches: siblings Theodora and Enora, and Glinda. Theodora was beautiful yet naive who then falling in love with him easily. Evanora was actually the wicked witch but spread rumor that it was Glinda and manipulated Theodora's jealousy to make her against Oz.
Every people except Glinda in Emerald City believed Oz was the promised wizard who would come to save the land from the wicked witch who had killed The King of Oz. Glinda knew how did Oz actually but she had only him to be the spirit for her people; the promised wizard had come.
What a sucky movie! I found nothing special from it except the Disney's typical breathtaking imagination sceneries, cute stuffs and unthinkable creatures. Not much different from mostly Black VS White storyline. This film bored me very much but I've started it so I must see the 'The End' appeared

Java Heat (2013)
 |
Hashim, a detective from the unity of Densus 88 (Datasemen Khusus/ Special Detachment 88) tried to uncover the incidence of suicide bomb that occured on a charity party where The Sultana was killed.
Jake Travers, one of the suicide bob survivors was interogated because he seen talking to The Sultana before the bomb exploded. Jake claimed he was an assistant of foreign teacher and just admired The Sultana's beauty.
When the police van was attacked on the way to investigate the bomb location, Jake helped Hashim and he showed an ability of holding a gun that was not likely owned by someone working as an assistant of teacher. It made Hashim suspected him more.
Hashim accepted Jake's offer to cooperate. The Sultana was still alive and Hashim's family was kidnapped by someone who's responsible for all.
I think they should choose other actor to role The Sultan. Rudy Wowor was the best choice for Mayor Van Gaartner on Darah Garuda (Blood of Eagles) but for Java Heat, Conor Allyn supposed to find a man with strong Javanese visage to be The Sultan.

The Conjuring (2013)
 |
Caroline and Roger Perron moved into a dilapidated old farmhouse along with their five daughters and their dog Sadie. Everybody was happy entering their new house but Sadie didn't want to join its masters and looked like worrying on something very much. In the next morning, so many odd occurrences started to emerge. Sadie found lying died outside the house, the clock used to stop in 3.07, one of the daughters found a way to a cellar and the other girl saw a spirit said she wanted the Perron family to die.
Caroline contacted a couple of paranormal investigators and they found the house maybe plagued by devil and need the exorcism. The house's history revealed. It's belonged to a witch who sacrificed her children to the devil and cursed all who would take her land before suicide.
Watched the movie last night with sister, Evi and Melda. If you're a craven like me, this movie is too scary to watch. My face liked being scuffed because I repeatedly covered it with my palm hands and just let my eyes watched the blur screen only. Felt relieved when I could passed the devil-appeared part
. Not to mention I had blown because of hiding under my neck tee. Lol
But for Melda, the horror movie junkie, The Conjuring was only a normal one. She even said that she was disappointed as it's not as scary as many people said on social media, exaggeratedly. In one scene, she was shocked because of something suddenly-appear but in a very little way. Overall, according to her, like a food, this movie is a so so.
