Wah-wah! Here comes the sun.

martin scorcese and ayat-ayat cinta

// March 31st, 2008 // movie talk, personal

Believe it or not but it’s true. So if you want to add him as friend (although a chance to become real friend is almost impossible), you can! Just go to this link. There are so many celebrity impersonator on this site, but I can assure that this isn’t the case. It’s really his official MySpace page, I think that’s part of the promotion for his movie Shine A Light. Yeah, of course that was the reason, I mean I can’t believe that someday Mr. Scorcese woke up one day and decide, “Hey, I wanna have MySpace account”.

If you visit his page, you can see that he already add Tom Hanks (which also the real one) as his number one friend.

I haven’t write anything lately because I just have no idea what to write. I have a bunch of movie reviews that waiting to be write (and I have done some of them thankfully).

Today, though, I wrote for Manado Post about a new Indonesian movie called Ayat-ayat Cinta. It’s so phenomenal at least in Indonesia and probably soon the rest of South East Asia. I am pretty curious about it. Will that be the first Indonesian movie that I’d enjoy finally? Beside all the praise that I read on media or other people’s blogs, I also heard some negative thing about the movie, like how terrible the acting are (which I find it no surprising if it’s really true.

I honestly never really watch any with such a great acting since the era called the awakening of Indonesian movies). Another that even negative some people accused this movie copy the score from Schindler’s List movie. Again, if that true then it would be ruin the good of the movie and probably it will make them disqualified from any other kind of award, just like the movie Eskul. Not familiar with that movie? It was supposed to be the best Indonesian movie of 2006 for FFI (the Indonesian version of Academy Award). After they received the award, it was later found that they using the same score from some Hollywood movies and not only they got disqualified, it also ruin the credibility of FFI, so we never know when it will be ever held again (*)
