Mendadak Dangdut

2006

★★★★ Watched

Nonton ini dulu sebelum nonton versi 2025-nya. Ini film cerdas banget dari segi penulisannya, baik penulisan naskah maupun penulisan lirik lagunya itself. Naskahnya nggak cuma kocak pas scene komedi, beberapa scene drama juga bisa unintentionally jadi kocak wkwkwk. 19 years have ed dan somehow jokenya nggak basi-basi amat. Masih banyak yang bisa bikin ngakak brutal. Penulisan lirik lagunya pun nggak hanya bikin badan pengen bergoyang, tapi juga membuat penonton ngerenungin kritik sosial masyarakat kelas bawah yang terkandung di dalamnya.

Roman Holiday

1953

★★★★★ Watched

The OG. Romcom before it’s possessed with that one obligatory scene (read: sex), LOL

Sunday Morning in Victoria Park

2010

★★★★ Watched

That special appearance of Kangen Band at the end of the film 😂 unintentionally funny for no reason

Havoc

2025

★★★★ Watched

Havoc ini punya cerita yang kurang engaging dan bagaimana dia berjalan pun kerasa lumayan draggy... Of course yang bikin betah nonton (dan bisa bikin ngasih rating 4 LOL) adalah action sequence-nya, walau emang ga se-brutal dan gaakan bisa se-revolusioner duology The Raid.

Lyle, Lyle, Crocodile

2022

★★★★½ Watched

I don’t give a fuck about all of the over-the-top scenes. If I have been blessed by Shawn’s angel voice; laughed so hard at the jokes; and even nearly sobbed on its little drama aspect (I feel you, Josh, I have also ever been friendless for 1 year when I was a teenager—unfortunately there’s no lonely crocodile came through my roof lol); I’ll give it high stars!

Ri¢hie Ri¢h

1994

★★★★½ Watched

Giving us another side from being an ultra-rich people. Even as an introvert, I would also get bored If I were wealthy but had to deal with a hectic and tight schedule

The Pursuit of Happyness

2006

★★★★ Watched

Heartwarming, tapi fiksinisasi istrinya rada terkesan playing victim sih. Coba riset tentang tokoh aslinya, justru Chris yang selingkuh sampe beranak. Sedangkan di film? Ya untungnya difiksiin, jadi bisa kasih rating bagus.

Escape from Alcatraz

1979

★★★★ Watched

Kinda jumpy in some parts, but it pays off with the thrilling tension in the third act a.k.a the escaping scene

The Girl Next Door

2004

★★★★ Watched

Laugh uncontrollably at the first act, and then got a lil bit bored on the second act. I like that ending tho, so unexpected, and broke that goddamn door of morality—but yeah, that’s the example of how wild 2000s romcom could be. It’s wild and of course over-the-top, but don’t ever ask why. Just enjoy it.

Knock at the Cabin

2023

★★★½ Watched

Beberapa bagian kerasa banget dilama-lamainnya, terutama di babak ketiga. Bikin geregetan 🙃 well at least it’s not as stupid as “sudden tsunami with no early-warning-system“ scene

Orion and the Dark

2024

★★★★ Liked Watched

It’s not your ordinary dream scenario in the middle of the night. It has a character arc, plot twist, moral lessons that enlighten you in just 93 minutes—more than any 4-hour with 3-session seminar you have ever attended—and even a layered story structure!

TMNT

2007

★★★½ Watched

A lil bit throwback ke masa2 bocah nonton versi kartunnya di Global TV 🐢 walau ga religiously ngikutin sih xixixi.

Bertahun2 kemudian, nemu ini di beranda netflix gue dan lgsg gas nonton, karena as I belum pernah nonton versi filmnya tp gatau ya maybe pernah tp lupa atau memang gapernah samsek. Well, kualitas animasinya di beberapa scene sih memang b aja dan nggak mulus (kalau dibilang “buruk” agak exaggerating soalnya). TMNT berjalan dengan cukup draggy, tapi at least ter-payoff lah sama final battlenya
