SWALLOW - FILM REVIEW

After few months of waiting, I finally got a chance to see this film. This film is on my 2020 watch list because it has a really good premise. Too bad, the wide release of this film was on 3 rd of March 2020, right when the coronavirus pandemic just started getting worse (in Indonesia), and since it is a small studio film, we been knowing that it will release approximately 2-3 months after the original release day in here. So, here's my thought about this film.. It's a normal thing to see a pregnant woman craves something weird to eat and eventually we have to fulfill her cravings so nothing bad will happen to the baby (i'm a sucker for beliefs and traditions). A pregnant woman may ask a certain thing that is absolutely weird and impossible at the not-so-right time. For example: "I really want original pempek straight from Palembang!", and you have to fulfill her wish. Good luck and go to Palembang to get that pempek! (I'm just kidding) but most of the time i...

READY OR NOT (2019) - REVIEW

I can’t believe that I missed this film when it hit the theaters last year. I know most of you guys have watched this film. I heard it was good at that time and how stupid of me, I just didn’t bother to watch this film at the theater (limited money and time). So, this film finally crossed my mind after I searched for couple of horror films I haven’t watched. The list includes: THE WAILING, A GIRL WALK ALONE AT NIGHT, REVENGE, LET ME IN, HARPOON , and the latest series of JU-ON – ORIGINS on Netflix. All these films (Ju-On is a series, btw) will have their own reviews later. So here is my review for READY OR NOT. Grace be like: "Fuck these rich people!" READY OR NOT is a 2019 black comedy horror film which co-directed by Matt Bettinelli-Olpin and Tyler Gillett. The film stars Samara Weaving (she looks like Emma Stone and Margot Robbie) as a newlywed who is having bad-luck to play a deadly family-tradition game in her wedding night. The casts include Mark O’Brien, Adam Brody, ...

DARK (NETFLIX) - THE WHOLE SERIES REVIEW

The distinction between the past, present, and future is only a stubbornly persistent illusion.  -      Albert Einstein Let’s talk about DARK series on Netflix here. It has been a week since the last season aired and it still got me hooked with its beautiful yet harrowing story the series offered. If you haven’t watched the series, I suggest to watch it now. Don’t forget to bring some refreshments because you might need them. The concept of this series is really, really heavy and pretty hard to understand at first but don’t worry, you’ll understand the storyline easily. And don’t forget to bring some “cheat sheets” too. Dark is a German sci-fi thriller series co-created by Baran bo Odar and Jantje Friese. It aired on Netflix streaming service. This series has three seasons which focused on the aftermath of a child’s disappearance which lead to darker secrets and hidden connections among four families. And time travels. YEAH! TIME TRAVEL. The story itself is ...
