this is one of my wish-list movie. i really want to watch this movie just because every movies directed by Ron Howard are always unpredictable.


Inferno is a 2016 American mystery thriller film directed by Ron Howard and written by David Koepp based on the 2013 novel on the same name by Dan Brown. The film is the sequel to The Da Vinci Code and Angels & Demons, and stars Tom Hanks, reprising his hole as Robert Langdon, alongside Felicity Jones, Omar Sy, Sidse Babett Knudsen.

an unknown man commits suicide after being chased by an angry black man. in the next scene, Liberty University professor Rober Langdon awakens in a  hospital room in Florence, Italia, with no memory of what has transpired over the last few days, but being plagued with visions of Hell. Dr Sienna Brooks, one of the doctors tending to him, tells him that he is suffering from amnesia as a result of a bullet wound to his head. All of a sudden, Vayentha, a female assassin, shows up in the hospital. Sienna helps Langdon to escape, and they flee to her apartment. Here, we learn more about Bertrand Zobrist (an unknown man at starting scene of the movie as bio engineer), a billionaire geneticist who believes that the wild is overpopulated and that rigorous measures are necessary to reduce the population.
Among Langdon's personal belongings, Langdon and Sienna find a "Faraday Pointer", a miniature image projector with a modified version of Botticelli's Map of Hell, which is based on Dante's Inferno. they figure out that Zobrist has created a virus with the potential of decimating the world's population.

Me Before You is an adaption movie from Jojo Moyes' best-selling novel. Stars Sam Claflin as Will Traynor, a handsome, wealthy young man who becomes a quadriplegic which causes him to end his life through a program in Switzerland called Dignitas and Emilia Clark as Louisa Clark, Will's support worker who is currently unemployed from her last job as a waitress.
Will's parents try to stop him from him wanting to attempt suicide by hiring Louisa due to her positive behaviour and hoping that Will can refused his decision.
Sadly, in the end Louisa has to leave her position because Will still stay on his plan to end his life even though she has plans everything and even broke up with her then-boyfriend to be with him. Louisa's parents advise her to see Will for the last time and she did. They reminiscing the times they had together and Will leaves her a large amount of money for Louisa continues her education and passion in traveling.

Isn't it the most tragic love story that you ever heard? :') This movie should be the one you do not want to missed. 

For me personally, this movie is so heart-touching that we always have to wipe something from our eyes (if you know what we mean), especially the ending. This movie will definitely deserve 9 out of 10.

71: Into The Fire (포화 속으로: Pohwasogeuro) 2010

As much as I love Hollywood/Western Movies, as an amateur film-maker myself I adore every movie as long as it is able to blow me away.
In this case I will give my opinion on the South Korean film "71: Into The Fire".

"The true story, directed by John H. Lee about a South Korean student unit of 71 soldiers who was left to defend the girls middle school during the Battle of Pohang during the peek of North Korea's invasion of the South in 1950. That 71 students defended that position for 11 hours against a North Korean army brigade and the film was inspired by the letters of one of those soldiers. Out of 71 members of the unit, only three had combat experience, while the remaining have not gone through basic military training before the battle.

Ju Kap Jo
Oh Jung Beom
What I loved about this movie was the story telling. It focus on Oh Jung Beom (Seung-hyun Choi aka Korean Boy Group Big Bang's T.O.P) who is assigned to lead the group of 71 student soldiers. In particular, a student soldier named Ku Kap Jo (Sang-Woo Kwon) who tends to do his own thing and not listen to Jung Beom. What this movie does best is show the conflict between the two characters and how their relationship changes. Character development of Oh Jung Beom is well done as he is first a shy person to a very aggressive leader later on in the film. Action is well done and the story telling.
Rating: 7/10
