Movies of the week

I've been watching reruns of That 70's Show over again this week.. seem can't get enough of that.. i dunno how any girl can get enough of the show, eric forman is unbelievably cute hehehehe... he got this smart ass wise crack comments that... ah never mind, as i remember, i already posted something about the show, heck i even posted some of his pictures, sooo unlike me!!

anyway, this afternoon i went to see Superman Returns with Indri.. all i can say is he can return to kryptonite for all i care after seeing the movie... to be fair, the hype about the movie isn't that big anyway, but let's face it, kevin spacey is nowhere near lex luthor at all!! oh come on, spacey with that chubby cheeks cannot and will not ever resemble the villain, no matter how much make up they put on his face nor how hard he tries to pull that scary villain eyes... now, don't get me started on kate bonsworth as lois lane... no lois lane, i repeat, there is no such thing as lois lane with soft curls and dreamy eyes... lois lane should always always be fiery and stern, enough said! wait, one more thing, all the scenes and angles, it's just too... too... too comicky, if you know what i mean... yeah yeah, don't give me that shit, i know it's from a comic book, but puh-lease.... the film is just borderline comicky and borderline real life... now, i think the producers and director should just made up their mind to where they wanna go.. pick one side of the two extremes, i guess it's not hard to do, isn't it? see, sky one featured spiderman the movie tonight, well, i guess it doesn't help me being softer on superman returns by comparing the two, but see, spiderman is just sooo comicky, especially with the opening title.. and also, as i remember, batman is also sooo similar to the comic with gotham city and all... but superman returns? it's just like a real day somewhere in the US, but wait, something is different, oh yeah, superman is here... it just doesn't register... besides, the story is just too lame, there's nothing bite in it... but mind you, they've been making too many superman movies and all, i guess the producers just have to settle with a weak plot, to be fair...

now, the highlight of the day was an indonesian movie i just finished watching... mind you, i don't even like indonesian movies, although you can say it's due too my too high expectation from them... heey but this one... i can easily put this one side by side with 'Arisan', the only indonesian movie i like, before seeing this one... the movie is 'Catatan Akhir Sekolah', that is 'The School's Final Note' for all of you non-bahasa speaker... actually, if you didn't go to high school in Indonesia, maybe you won't find this movie to be excellent... heck, i don't even care about the angles, the plot or the cast... i love it coz it soooooo resembles my high school times... with all the cheating, love drama episodes, the fooling around and what not that happened in my high school time... but the way they make it, it's just soo natural.. i actually felt like i was back in high school again... see, the thing about indonesian movies, they just tried too hard to make it an interesting movie by somewhat copying hollywood, they forgot the values that relate to us... yeah, maybe we did the stuffs they do in the movie, but let's be honest now, do you indonesians, like me, find indonesian movies are just too superficial or artificial that it hardly relates to you? from contemplating about the recent movie, i think it might be because of the extras.. the extras in this movie is just so natural, not all of them are pretty, some aren't pretty at all to be honest... but they picture the variety of people you'll find in your daily life... i think most of indonesian movies, all the extras are either too pretty or just downright ugly so they can be mocked at... now where do they put us, the mediocre clan, so mediocre you hardly see us? now, that's what i call real life...
