Rectoverso

Adapting a novel into a movie is not an easy job, I tell you. The magic of a novel is in the words, while the magic of a movie comes from its visual and story. It�s no wonder that there are many novel-into-movie adaptation do not work out. For me, �Rectoverso� is better be enjoyed as a novel instead of a movie. It�s actually a compilation of short stories by Dewi Lestari, one of the most well-known and highly-acclaimed author in Indonesia. I remember I had a chance to read one of the short stories in �Rectoverso�, and I recalled that experience as an amazing one. Dewi �Dee� Lestari had a rare ability to play with metaphors in words, and while the book itself has a sense of audio-visual imagination�more than just words��Rectoverso� the movie is not as good as the book.

Generally speaking, it�s unusual. read more �

Imagine an earth fully covered by snow and ice. Imagine an earth so cold that no living creatures can live outside so they look for shelters to live. That would be the earth the story of SNOWPIERCER takes place. Perhaps it would be hard for me to mention two or three other movies about dystopia and surviving, but I am sure I already knew the big line of SNOWPIERCER before actually watching it because, beside of its outstanding production design, costume design, and cinematography (and some acting!), there is nothing fresher that Bong Joon-ho offers in his debut in Hollywood. NOTE: some parts of this review may contain clues about the story of the film. Although I don�t consider them a spoiler, you who prefer knowing very little about the film before watching it are suggested to read this review only after watching it. read more �

Never blame whoever who thinks that NASA's recent publication about water on Mars is part of promotional gimmicks for The Martian, newest sci-fi flick from Ridley Scott. In fact, this publication was based on scientific evidence and, the most important thing, The Martian has been released worldwide many days before. But, with the hype of Blood Moon phenomenon on the Web recently, The Martian defines the perfect time for us, sci-fi lovers or not, to head our face up to the sky for a moment and think if someday in the future it's possible for us to live our life out there. read more �
