Radit Dan Jeni

February 7th, 2008 · 7 Comments

To best describe most Indonesian movies is by comparing them to living organism, notably human. They often started with good premise like a plump teenager, then losing direction during the midlife, and ended up rotten.

Radit and Jani is about rebellious street couple whose daily life is dedicated to rock-n-roll, drugs, and stealing foods. They have alotta lusty sex too, but since they are officially married, no free-sex were practiced. Things get sour when they have to pay the rent, while penniles at the same time. Meanwhile, the girl got pregnant too.

I was bored to death when this rebellious-couple movie slowly turning into a passable episodes of household conflicts. Apparently this part consume a major bulk of the screentime. If you go the moviehouse not to see a daily life, skip this.

Well inless you want to scrutinize Vino and Faharani steamy making out session.

Pan’s Labyrinth

February 7th, 2008 · 2 Comments

We went to see this movie Pan’s Labyrinth by Del Torro. It was exciting and well paced (and likeable characters), but the ending is somehow a turn off. I didn’t understand what the hell this Dell Torro trying yo say. Overheard during the credit title are “This is the worst movie I have ever seen” and “My Rp 15.000 was not well spent”. Boy I hate when people making quick judgement for things they don’t understand.

My mistake is expecting Pan’s Labyrinth to be a generic fairytale.
