The Lincoln Lawyer (2011)

The Lincoln Lawyer (2011): "Nobody until somebody shoots you"


Nice drama and "wow" intrigues in the whole movie, none of anybody predictions was smooth about the story. Personality-duel between Matthew McConaughey and Ryan Phillippe was magnificent.


The other characters also support the story like Earl (Laurence Mason), Lavin (William H. Macy), Val (John Leguizamo), Corliss (Shea Whigham), Minton (Josh Lucas), Dobbs (Bob Gunton), Jesus (Michael Pena), Mary Windsor (Frances Fisher), and also the hot hot hot MILF Maggie McPherson (Marissa Tomei--toooooo bad there are no further bed scene).

Extremely Loud Incredibly Close (2011)

Extremely Loud Incredibly Close (2011): "That's what I love about keys, they all open something."

All mankind from every city, every country, every races, every religion, should see the jewish novel-based movie that take us back to the worst day back in 9/11 in a very smooth way coz the way it is not judging everything except the tears.

Hanna (2011)

Invictus (2009)

Invictus (2009): "I'm the master of my faith, I'm the captain of my soul."

Too bad the movie doesn't touch the another civil-conflict in South Africa between the ANC (lead by Nelson Mandela) and the opposition that somehow already portrayed by Bang Bang Club (2010).

The Girl with the Dragoon Tattoo (2011)

The Girl with the Dragoon Tattoo (2011)

The Hollywood version of a part of Swedish trilogy movies with the same title, also known by its best seliing novel origin, Män som hatar kvinnor, written by Steig Larsson. And in my humble opinion, the newest one is lame in a way.

The movies which starred by the latest James Bond, Daniel Craig, begin with the figurine, Lisbeth Salander, played by Rooney Mara, which drive a motorbike.

50/50(2011)

50/50(2011): twist these lines to be romantics quotes: "I never been to f*cking Canada, I never told a girl I love her", "I wish you were my girlfriend," "I wanna make you pancakes sometimes."

All the characters are fit with the player, but too obvious and common: Joseph Gordon-Levitt so near-to-death-experienced-drama, Anna Kendrick with a neurotic play, Seth Rogen with awfull voice but touchy friend, and Bryce Dallas Howard still fixed as an asshole woman character. High & Dry and Yellow Ledbetter (pearl jam) are nice..

A thin red line between between ambition and determination

Irvin Avriano A.

How far can we managed our will? The movie can makes us feel the drama that summoned inside somebody's head, with a beautiful, but not details, about football managing.

Based on a true story about the trash-mouth Brian Howard Clough (March 21th '35-Sept 20th '04), the greatest English club manager that England national team have not ever had. Even his garbage mouth was recognize and was ordered to shut by the Sting-like-a-bee Mohammad Ali.
