Getting the ticket for Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows part 2 premiere AND a strategic seat
and this…
Last night I read this tweet and got waaaayy too excited that I was almost hyperventilated (haha!). Deathly Hallows part 2 is finally here, guys! In Indonesia! The premiere will be on the 29th, but the ticket can already be purchased today. So Angga and I went to Braga. We bought two tickets and then I died…
No way.
Sincerely,
Putdar.
Yesss. I finally got back to doing this (supposedly) weekly feature. So sorry for my lack of consistency. Last week I went to Jakarta so I didn’t have time to watch movies. And two weeks ago… I don’t remember what I did two weeks ago, but I know I missed that one too. Apology accepted? Great! Now let’s proceed 😀

Alright. Before I tell you my opinion about this movie, first let me tell you that I really, really (from the deepest part of my heart) dislike Zac Efron. And his acting in this movie just added up my already-full list of the reasons why I hate him. Why couldn’t he just act normally? I mean, like how boys are supposed to do? Well he’s cute, we know that. And clearly he knows that, too. I think that’s why he keeps doing those unnecessary gestures, like saying “Yo, girls! I know you’re checking up on me.” Yuck!
This movie is about the adult Mike O’Donnell who turns into his 17-year-old self, getting a chance to repair his relationship with his two teenage kids and his (almost ex-)wife. The movie begins with a scene showing Mike when he was still in high school, getting ready for an important basketball game where he could get a college scholarship should he play good in it. Right before the game started, his girlfriend told him that she was pregnant. Mike left the game to chase her and asked her to marry him. The movie then skips into Mike in the present, 37 and in the process of getting a divorce. One night, he has an accident and he turns 17 again. Helped by his high school best friend, Ned, he enrolls in his old high school, where his two kids also go. He befriends them and so the drama goes on.
Aside of Efron’s stupid look, I personally think that this movie is quite good. The idea of reliving your past is not new, of course. But this movie doesn’t bring you to the past: it brings the past to you. That is the funny side of this movie. I like the part where Maggie (Mike’s son) tries to seduce him, and the one where Mike kisses his wife, which looks inappropriate since he is physically 17. The ending is kinda predictable, but I hate it that this movie doesn’t tell us whether Alex (Mike’s son) gets the scholarship or not. That’s too bad, because I’m so curious! Haha
In general, I’d like to give it three and a half stars out of five 🙂
Sincerely,
Putdar.
PS. No offense to all Efron’s fans out there 😉
Goedenavond, mijn vrienden! My Dutch is quite good, eh? Well, thanks to Google Translate :p
I can’t believe how days go by so fast and it’s Friday night already! You know what that means? Yep, it’s Friday Night Movies time. Can everybody say ‘yay’? 😀
Today, as usual, I watched two films. The first one was:

In Her Shoes is a drama about two sisters who are very different. The older sister is a succesful lawyer working in a firm. The younger sister is a pretty party girl who likes to mess around with guys. She is, however, unemployed and still living with her father and step-mother. The step-mother kicks her out of the house after she comes home drunk, and she ends up living with her older sister. Her bad attitude soon puts her older sister in troubles. She even sleeps with her older sister’s boyfriend one night. When her older sister comes home and finds them in bed, she gets kicked out once again. Having nowhere to go, she finally decides to go to her grandmother’s place in an old flocks house. It’s when they are apart that they realise how much they need each other.
In my opinion, this film is good. I like how the older sister eventually forgives her younger sister. In the end, everybody is happy. I like happy endings. I mean, who doesn’t? Haha!

And this one… I’m sure you know this one. Due Date is a story about Peter (haha! Like Sarasvati’s song!) who has to rush home for her first child’s birth, but he gets kicked out of the plane because of a self-proclaimed actor, Ethan. With all his belongings still on the plane, Peter is confused and clueless because he doesn’t have any money to rent a car to go home to his wife. Ethan and his dog then show up with a rental car. Peter is forced to go home with Ethan, whom he doesn’t get along very well.
This film is a very good laugh. I got very mad and frustated at Ethan and took a pity on Peter. Robert Downey Jr. and Zach Galifianakis are good match. I love them! 😀
Anyway, it’s totally out of the topic, I already have four blog buttons to put on my sidebar on July. Three more buttons, fellas! Interested? Visit this post to see the rules 🙂
Have a great weekend!

Putdar.
Hello! Friday is almost over here in my livingroom as it’s only 30 minutes to midnight, but I still got time to write a brief post on my new (hopefully) weekly feature Friday Night Movies. This week I re-watched some old movies available in my laptop. Here’s two of them.

The first movie is The Perfect Score. It’s about six high school students who plot on stealing the SAT. Each of them has the urge to get a high score to pursue their dream, but they have the risk of failing because the SAT has its reputation of being unfair. I fist saw this movie in the television and I fell in love with it instantly because I was in high school and I was going to face the national exam, which has the same bad reputation with SAT, and I felt that the this movie kinda suited on me, though I would never ever steal the test. Haha!

The ending of this movie is kinda sweet, with two new couples and new best friends. You should watch it 🙂

The next movie is Keramat. I don’t watch Indonesian horror movies very often, since I hate almost all of them, but this movie is different. It’s about a movie production team who go to Yogyakarta to start the shooting process, but they end up being tortured by spirits and such. I first saw this movie in my friend’s dorm, but never finished it. I just finished it tonight. It’s creepy… (Well, of course that’s the point of horror movies, I guess…)
Okay. So, I guess I’ll see ya tomorrow? (What a lame way to close a post!)
Sincerely,
Putdar.
Ah… Weekend is finally here. Can you feel the magic in the air? I love weekend. I mean, who doesn’t? It’s the only time in the week when we could just chill and relax (I’m using the word ‘chill’, can you believe? :p) Plus, I am in the middle of the final weeks, so it’s nice to be able to breathe for a while. Four down, baby, five more left!

Tonight, I finally watched P.S. I Love You. I’d been wanting to watch it since it was still showing in the cinemas, but I finally watched it tonight. Such a sad movie! But I didn’t cry. I guess it was because I was too busy having a crush on Gerard Butler and Jeffrey Dean Morgan. They are hot! I know they’re quite too old for me, but still! XD

After P.S. I Love You, I decided to re-watch First Love (A Little Thing Called Love). I’m pretty sure that you’ve already (at least) heard about it, right? It’s a Thai movie about an ugly girl who falls in love with a cute senior. People praise the movie, but I have to say that I disagree. There are some aspects which I think aren’t very good for girls.
First, I have to agree that it is normal for a girl to want to look pretty in front of the guy she likes. But brushing up your dark skin with a yellowish thingy? Come on! You don’t have to force yourself that hard!
Second, okay, so Pin puts make up on Nam’s face for the drama in the school festival, but why does Nam’s sense of style also change? She starts wearing mini skirts. Plus, her hair is silikier and longer, too! What?
Third, Nam is such an evil! When Top confesses her feelings for Nam, she does not answer, but she agrees to go out with him to a couple of places. He kisses her cheek and then she gets mad, and when Top says “But you’re my girlfriend?” she answers with “I never accept you as my boyfriend.” She doesn’t respect his feeling. And he’s never coming back on screen for the rest of the movie! Unfair!
Fourth, the second reason why Nam is an evil is because she doesn’t only break a boy’s heart, she breaks her friends’ heart too! She leaves them to chase after boys. She leaves them because she’s prettier and she’s hanging out with the ‘cool’ seniors now. After things fall apart, she comes back, and lucky her, her friends are kind enough take her back. They’re good friends, she’s not.
Fifth, nine years after graduating, they should be, what, twenty-seven? But why does Shone already retire from football? It’s uncommon for a football player to retire in their 20s, right? I’m a football fan, so I know.
That’s it. The idea of a nerdy girl falls in love with a popular guy is interesing, but I think the idea was not developed very well. That’s too bad.
Okay. Nuff now. It’s almost midnight. I gotta go blog stalking for a couple minutes, and then I’ll go to sleep. I’m going to edit our Interpreting videos. Bye! <3
Sincerely,
Putdar.
