Colossal - A Bit Depressing & Too Weird Monster Movie

When this movie's trailer was shown many times during 3 or 4 months ago, I was rather intrigued to find out what it was all about. But then the trailer was never shown again and it seemed to be put on the shelf by the cinema chain in Indonesia. Until suddenly last week while my wife and I were on our staycation, I noticed in the cinema 21 website that it was already playing in some theaters. So yesterday we decided to see the movie at the 7.15 PM show. The cinema was a bit crowded but not fully booked. Anyway, we shall move on to the movie now.

Brief Story Line

After having her relationship broken, Gloria (Anne Hathaway - The Devil Wears Prada, Brokeback Mountain and many more) returned back to her hometown where she met her childhood friend Oscar (Jason Sudeikis - The Angry Birds Movie, Horrible Bosses etc). With no money and no job, Gloria accepted the offer from Oscar to work at his bar as a waitress where she would meet with Oscar's 2 best friends Joel (Austin Stowell - Stratton, Bridge of Spies etc) and Garth (Tim Blake Nelson - Syriana, The Incredible Hulk etc). 

Baby Driver - A Unique and Stylish Getaway Driver Story

Few days after this movie premiered in Indonesia, I finally got the chance to see it yesterday after one of our weekend staycation in Serpong area (more on that in my wife's blog). We did plan to see the film then but due to various locations we visited, we decided it would be best to just see this when we were back in Jakarta. Though our favorite seats have been taken for the 2.45 PM show, we thought that waiting for the 5PM show would not be a good idea, seeing that we were both rather tired and wanted to take a rest in the evening. So off we went and saw this at Setiabudi. Now let us get on with the movie.

Brief Story Line

A young man nicknamed Baby (Ansel Elgort - The Divergent series, The Fault in Our Stars etc) was working as a getaway driver together with a crew of 3 robbers. The crew was working for a boss called "Doc" (Kevin Spacey - The Usual Suspects, Superman Returns etc). Baby was a very excellent driver who was able to escape from the police chase using his expertise. His unique way of driving was to always listen to music and follow the rhythm of the songs. It would be revealed later on the reason of his unique habit as he almost never took out the earphones from his ears.

Warkop DKI Reborn: Jangkrik Boss Part 2 - Sequel to That Wonderful Remake of Iconic Indonesian Comedians

Last night, I had the chance to go and see the premiere of the highly anticipated sequel of that crazy funny movie in 2016 Warkop DKI Reborn: Jangkrik Boss Part 1. I was very fortunate that despite advance tickets sale available since more than a week ago, due to the high demand, the cinema chains added some more studios to show the movie which happened to be opened only yesterday. So in the morning my wife immediately bought the tickets for the 7.30 PM show. Well without further ado, let us move on to the movie.

Brief Story Line

The movie started with some flashbacks from the first part to remind us how our favorite trio Dono (Abimana Aryasatya - Negeri Van Oranje, Sabtu Bersama Bapak etc), Kasino (Vino G. Bastian - 30 Hari Mencari Cinta, Bangkit etc) and Indro (Tora Sudiro - Arisan!, 3 Dara etc) plus Sophie (Hannah Al Rashid - Critical Eleven, Jailangkung etc) were in Malaysia to do a treasure hunt. They were unable to continue their search due to the map that was put in their bag was accidentally taken by a lady in red in the airport.
