JAGOAN MOVIES: 10 BEST MOVIES 2010

1. Inception (Christopher Nolan) - This movie for me is another masterpiece from Nolan that has the capacity to blow people away. All cast gave a very strong performances. The cinematography is world class and where effects are used, they are absolutely superb. This film will keep you thinking even after leaving the movie theater. The overall plot may seem confusing and complex, but it adds to its uniqueness. One of those film that you have to watch twice or even a dozen times to get that wonderful experience!

2. The Social Network (David Fincher) - This is what you called a genius script! The script from Aaron Sorkin is very rich and witty. The dialog here is too deep and the tempo of the dialog is too fast, it is not very easy to understand but it was overwhelming and amazing. Jesse Eisenberg goes beyond the level of what is usually expected of him. He stole the show! No questions about the director, David Fincher is clearly one of the best director these days. If this movie were a Facebook page, I would click “LIKE”.

3. Kick-Ass (Matthew Vaughn) ­- Ohh..I loveee every single moment of the film and found most of the humor very funny. This movie is super fun and exciting just like riding a roller-coaster! It is violent, funny, and shocking at the same time but above all it is utterly entertaining! Everything was good; the story, the acting, and the music was just outstanding. From start to finish, it is loaded with enough action and humor. Some scenes may be controversial, but Kick-Ass breaks the mound in superhero movies.

4. Toy Story 3 (Lee Unkrich) - Such good and fascinating animation and story, making this the best animated film of the year. With a great ending that made me tear a little but it is touching and it makes you think. Toy Story is definitely my favourite animation and to me this was the best of the trilogy. Pixar has done it again! This was a fantastic finish to a wonderful story. Thank you Pixar, simply thank you.

5. Black Swan (Darren Aronofsky) - Black Swan offers plenty of drama, plenty of thrilling moments, and plenty of sexiness. The story is more complicated than you think. Aronofsky brought an element of fear that not often explored in modern films; psychological fear. It keeps you guessing until the very end. Natalie Portman finally gets the recognition she deserves, her star has finally reached the top! After watching this movie I realized that: ‘Life is full of pressure’ and ‘Nobody is perfect’ . Yes, it is.

6. The Kids Are All Right (Lisa Cholodenko) - Even though the story is relatively simple, the emotions and the evolutions from the characters impulse it on a realistic way without manipulating our feelings. Bening and Moore both are really great. Their performances are daring and subtle convincingly persuasive in every gesture and expression. The script is also excellently well-crafted. It is not an extraordinary film, but it is a spectacular and visually stunning romantic comedy.

7. Mother and Child (Rodrigo Garcia) - This is a well written and directed film. It is an amazing character study and makes you think about life, love, and relationships. Sad at the beginning, but manages to end on a happy note that feels genuine. Astonishing great performances from all cast, especially Annette Bening. Powerful and emotional drama.

8. Buried (Rodrigo Cortes) - One of the most terrifying, disturbing, and nightmarish thrillers this year. All done with no flashy special effects and editing, no overblown action sequences and music, no pretty faces and bodies in sight. Just a man, a box, and a plenty of thrills. This film is not for everybody, especially a claustrophobia. For me, Buried is original with a genius script from Chris Sparling and so far the best performance from Ryan Reynolds, should I say more?

9. The Ghost Writer (Roman Polanski) - It is a suspense thriller with heavy political references. It grasps my attention from the very first scene and never let me go until the end credits are over. The plot is fairly slow and also the suspense build very slowly but very surely and not boring by any means. Far better than most of the political thrillers of recent times. Ewan McGregor is very convincing and really carries the movie, his performance has never been better.

10. Scott Pilgrim vs. The World (Edgar Wright) - I didn’t really like the film when I first watched it. But then, after I read the comics, DANG! Edgar Wright really takes comic-book adaptation to a whole another level! The visual effects and soundtracks were superb! Absolutely a unique experience, everything in this movie happens so fast and one blink is enough to lose information. Nerdiest movie eveeer!

(List diatas masih belum fix, karena masih banyak sekali film-film di tahun 2010 yang belum Jagoan Movies tonton karena tidak ditayangkan di Indonesia. List akan terus di-update apabila ada perubahan. Btw, HAPPY NEW YEAR 2011 guys!)

OUT NOW: cin(T)a ORIGINAL DVD FROM JIVE!

(Mas Bobby, Mas Tedjo, Tiko, Om Ronny, Saya, dan Mba Vina)

Beberapa hari yang lalu saya berhasil mendapatkan DVD cin(T)a gratis via twitter dari @JiveCollections. Jadi kemarin saya berkunjung ke kantor Jive Collections di daerah Patra Kuningan untuk mengambil DVD tersebut. Kebetulan salah seorang teman sesama movie blogger yaitu Tiko dari blog Labirin Film juga datang berkunjung kesana. Akhirnya kami pun mengobrol di kantor Jive Collections selama kurang lebih dua jam! ♥

Kantor Jive Collections ternyata adalah sebuah rumah asri yang nyaman dan berpagar bambu, begitu sampai saya langsung dipersilahkan masuk oleh Mas Tedjo, salah seorang karyawan Jive Collections. Saya lalu diperkenalkan dengan direktur Jive Collections, Pak Ronny dan beberapa karyawan lainnya. Akhirnya dalam kesempatan itu saya pun akhirnya berkenalan secara langsung dengan Tiko, karena ini memang pertemuan pertama kami. Sebelumnya hanya sering mengobrol via blog atau twitter.

Menyenangkan sekali waktu yang saya lewatkan di kantor Jive Collections kemarin. Bayangkan saja, kami (re: saya dan Tiko) yang hanya 'anak bawang' dalam dunia perfilman atau bisa dibilang blogger film pemula malah disambut dengan sangat hangat oleh semua orang di Jive Collections. Bahkan kami disuguhkan 3 box Pizza lengkap dengan Coca Cola sebagai pelepas dahaga! Wahh..terima kasih banyak yaa Jive Collections! :)

Dua jam rasanya tidak terasa sudah terlewatkan begitu saja, mengobrol dengan Pak Ronny yang saya panggil dengan sebutan 'Om' terasa cepat dan menarik sekali. Beliau sangat ramah dan humoris. Mendengarkan kisah beliau sangatlah menyenangkan, mulai dari tentang suka dan duka dalam dunia pendistribusian DVD, serta kendala-kendala dari para pembuat DVD bajakan dan cara menanggulanginya, belum lagi kisah beliau dan teman-temannya dulu yang ternyata juga adalah seorang movie blogger. Dua jam yang sangat menginspirasi!

Senangnya, sudah saya dapat DVD cin(T)a gratis yang ada tanda tangan dari sang pemeran utama, Sunny Soon, lalu disuguhkan makanan dan minuman, dapat sambutan hangat, dan diluangkan waktu untuk mengobrol pula! Sungguh pengalaman luar biasa yang tidak akan saya lupakan. Terima kasih Jive Collections untuk kehangatan dan waktunya, semoga lain waktu bisa mengobrol lebih banyak lagi. Saya doakan semoga Jive semakin sukses!

cin(T)a sendiri merupakan sebuah film unik yang mengangkat tema yang jarang diangkat kedalam film Indonesia, menyentil masalah perbedaan agama dan bagaimana cara agar perbedaan itu menjadi satu. Saya sudah menonton film ini di Blitzmegaplex dulu dan sudah pernah mereview disini. Akan tetapi dulu saya terganggu dengan suaranya yang berisik sekali dan saya menebak-nebak apa penyebabnya, apakah dari Blitz atau memang dari filmnya sendiri. Ternyata setelah saya menonton DVD-nya tadi pagi, suaranya tidak berisik sama sekali. Bahkan lebih enak ditonton di DVD dibanding waktu saya menonton di bioskop dulu. Dialog-dialog cerdas yang menjadi kunci utama film ini jadi terdengar dengan jelas dan ada subtitle bahasa Indonesia juga.

Untuk teman-teman pembaca sekalian yang ingin membeli DVD cin(T)a sudah bisa dibeli langsung di toko-toko CD terdekat atau Gramedia yaa.. Hanya dengan Rp.59.000,- kamu sudah bisa mendapatkan DVD original dan bonus stiker + pembatas buku. Packaging Jive Collections juga bagus sekali untuk dipajang sebagai koleksi DVD kamu. Ada yang sudah pernah membeli DVD original keluaran Jive Collections belum? Apa pendapat kamu mengenai kualitasnya? Share yuk.. :)
