Reviews
Curon (2020)
It winds up just a shallow lake
A concept about changeling/doppelganger is pretty awesome if you could write a good story about it. Curon tried but unfortunately it just fell short my expectation.
Good thing about this series is *again* the concept. A changeling. It is, of course, terrifying and they tried to bring it to screen. But Curon is lack of thrill,
shallow character development (even wasted character development in the end). I can say, it is poor written. The number of episode is also baffling, it feels too short but on other hand, it feel too long. If it was a 90-minutes movie or it is downright horror, maybe it could end up better.
The main casts are just lack of exploration. It feels like it just an ordinary teen that just trying to unlock some mystery with their angst and drama. Nothing less, nothing more. Nothing's going on them, even when you wish there's something come out from the water for them, it didn't. That is my failed expectation.
The best part of this series is maybe The Lucas' sequence. It's fairly good act, and good thrill too. His sequence alone could make you understand what the film is about.
Alex Rider (2020)
Maybe It Shouldn't Label A Family-Friendly TV Series, IMDb!
For someone who hasn't read Alex Rider book series, movie adaptation of Stormbreaker is a disappointment. It has great concept, but just like Cody Banks, it is too childish for spy, lack of thrill and suspense. But, when I read that a TV adaptation of it, well I expected it to be different in every atmosphere it will have.
Well, I didn't disappoint. tbh, I'm very hooked from the start to, well, finish. The storyline is different from Stormbreaker, because maybe it is not its adaptation, I presume it brings something from Stormbreaker and mix it with Point Blanc, a chapter after Stormbreaker. But as I say, for someone who never read the books and have the movie version as the reference, it is Satisfying to watch.
The actings & the casts are overall excellent. Otto Farrant is its spotlight, obviously. Some maybe compare him Otto Farrant to Alex Pettyfer, but it's fair though, but whatever the conclusion, Otto as Alex Rider is perfect choice and he executes the role very well.
The score is brilliant and the thrill & suspense is well-built and surprisingly mature. It is a British spy TV series for older children.
Kelly & Cal (2014)
A Real Lesson For A Mature Woman
"Kelly and Cal" is mature-exploration drama with satire comedy and forbidden-and-hidden romance. First question, is this family genre like being noted in many film website? Definitely, not! In first 15 minutes, this film has promising opening, In the middle, when relationship between the older woman (Kelly) and the younger man (Cal) starts weaving, please, It almost disgust me, but thank God, in last 30 minutes it turns out to be it should be. This film has a good and authentic message for you, a new-turned mother, to keep behave. And in this film, it's a real show. But it wouldn't be good if Juliette Lewis and Jonny Weston didn't do their best in this movie.
Wer (2013)
"Twilight" Ruined Werewolves' Horror, but "Wer" Brings Them Back.
When "Twilight" saga ruined the horror of werewolf, thanks to "Wer" for successfully bringing werewolf-film back to right track : brutal, terrifying and thrilling. Despite of predictable plot from the middle until the end film, "Wer" is unexpectedly excellent and interesting to watch, with half of this story enriches by the mystery element. If you think found-footage film's always being horrible in plot and execution such as The Devil Inside or Paranormal Activity's franchise, believe me, "Wer" is different case. I think "Wer" is the best found-footage film since "Chronicles" hits box office in 2012.
At the end, I must admit that "Wer" makes werewolves scary again, brings it become the best werewolf film since "An American Werewolf In London". I gave it 9 stars out of 10.
Alabama Moon (2009)
A great great storyline! One of the best film based on a book!
Simple but sweet. First phrase I mention about this film. For the family film, this film have lack of comedy and it's gonna be unusual for its kind lover. But in the fact, the film successfully bring us to its story, to feel the sadness, emotion, friendship and its drama. You will find the dead tragedy, a losing, to survive and to moving on. Moreover, center of view from this film is about a kid and his survival and adventure, and it really increase the power of drama. One more time I mention, this film is lack of comedy, the power is placed on the drama. This film is right to all peoples, especially for kid. It's simple. The message is easy to understand. It's fresh, nothing less, nothing. Suggestion: Watch it with your kid-heart position.
Lifted (2010)
One of the best film in its kind!
I just watched this movie a month ago and honestly, the storyline is still in my mind.
If you seek for a musical movie without romance, this film is very recommended for you.
This movie is one of the best movie in its kind, I think since "August Rush". It's closely named musical film. With music's served, this movie could be mentioned entertain us with "innocent" vocal without too much instrument element. And I think it's good. Plus it's not mainstream genre, it's such a RnB and hip-hop of course, out of the common genre, pop actually.
And, the message it bring, so many can be praise, especially with this film, we can respect to patriotism and heroism of Soldier. It's a great message, beside the others. Then, I praise vocal ability of Henry, he was great. So meaningful and lovable. This film is recommended for all people, and of course for our family.
