Kidnapping Miyabi

Main casts: Alessia Cestaro, Hardi Fadhillah, Kevin Julio, Maria Ozawa

The story basically goes like this:

A group of 3 college kids' idol, Maria Ozawa aka Miyabi is coming to Jakarta. Feeling excited, they decided to meet and greet her at the airport but after some crazy mishaps, they ended up kidnapping Miyabi. But, Miyabi actually missed her flight and they got the wrong girl.

My take:

Rather lame storyline and some over-acting especially the fake Miyabi. If they exclude Maria Ozawa in the movie, I think nobody wanna watch this. Try rename this to Kidnapping Losmah and see got ppl wanna watch onot.. hahaha :P

I rate this movie 3/5 buttered popcorns.

oh btw, Miyabi is a pretty porn star in Japan who is very famous in Indonesia:


So, enjoy the movie!

High Tension

The story basically goes like this:

Alexia and Marie travel back to Marie's farm in a small town and a sadistic murderer broke into the the house late at nite, killing everyone but tied up Alexia while Marie managed to escape. Then Marie fight back to save her friend from the sadistic murderer. Read more about this here.

My take:

The story is quite entertaining as the mystery of why that guy wanted to kill the entire family. However, the ending is not something new. Too many movies use this formula and after knowing the reasons, the movie is somehow sounds ridiculous and some scenes are just doesn't make sense..

The Reef

Main casts: Damian Walshe-Howling, Gyton Grantley and Adrienne Pickering

The story basically goes like this:

A group of friends went snorkeling in the open sea only to find their boat breakdown and sinking in the middle of the sea. They have 2 options, either to wait for help which no one knows when will that be, or swin 12 hours to the nearest shore. But they forgot that there are sharks. Read more about it here.

My take:

The story is quite intense as you can see the friends are desperately in need of help and glimpses of sharks hovering around them in the middle of the sea. Not too much gore but seeing each of them end up being the sharks' snack is *ahem* entertaining :D

The Ghost Must Be Crazy

Main casts: Wang Lei, Mark Lee, Dennis Chew, John Cheng, Henry Thia

The story basically goes like this:

The movie breaks into 2 stories. The first one is about the army where during one of the exercise night, 2 veteran soldiers encountered ghosts in the jungle after some unfortunate series of events. The 2nd story is about a man who is facing bad luck in love asked for some blessing from the spirits and got what he wanted but have to face the consequences. Read more about it here.

My take:

The stories are highly predictable. If it’s a comedy, why I just chuckled only once or twice? If it’s a scary movie, why I wanna fall asleep while watching? Not really entertaining and some of the scenes are just too unrealistically overboard.

I rate this movie 3/5 buttered popcorns.
