The 2014 Film Review Challenge

I neeeeed this for the longest time possible and my fella here, Hamidah, just pointed it out for me. She out of the blue had posted a very intriguing offer on my facebook wall which was a 2014 film review challenge.

It'd be fun to be challenged and keep a track of our films that we've watched so far for a year. So at the end of the year we'll know exactly how many and how do we feel everytime we watch em. And anyway, it's good to keep on practicing our writing skill. Then I said, challenge accepted!

Though it is completely personal challenge, if any of you guys wanted to be part of this, then come and join. Here's short how to below.


1. Write a blog title with the following format:
     [Title] [Released Year] [#Consecutive number of the film you've watched] e.g.:
     American Hustle (2013) #1
     12 Years A Slave (2014) #2
2. Write a basic information of the film, consisting:
    - Title (Released Year)
    - IMDb Rating or Rotten Tomatoes Rating (or any film rating you consider legit)
    - Director
    - Writer
    - Starring (Actors/ Actresses)
3. Write a simple plot of the film.
4. Write anything you want regarding the film, it can be:
    - how was the plot/ the acting
    - how did the film make you feel and why
    - your favourite part/ scenes of the film (avoid spoilers as min as possible & no story twists)
    - adding a youtube trailer or any trivia/ facts will be fun
    - how do you recommend to others, is it yay/nay to watch
    - lastly, your very own rating in 10/10 basis

I already had a quite long list waiting to be reviewed soon. From now on it will most probably be written short and simple. Considering that the most important thing is to give a straight to the point message about how the film left impressions in you. Was it worth watching or not and such.

So I guess that's it and I hope this will be a total doable challenge to all of us.
Good luck and happy watching! ;)

Hai, saya Indah Permatasari.

Dari kecil saya hobi banget nonton film, even since I was 6, I insisted watching late night films while my parents fell asleep, silly, eh? Tapi, dari kebiasaan itulah yang nggak cuma bikin saya suka film tapi juga mulai suka bahasa Inggris. I started looking up some words I got from the movie, filling my bros elementary english books which made them absolute livid at me and such. It triggered my passion ever since for no particular reason.

Film buat saya adalah jalan keluar, refreshment dari rutinitas sehari-hari, stres dan masalah pribadi *cieh. Mungkin nggak sepenuhnya benar, beberapa film ada yang makin memperparah mood, ada juga yang tearjerking, ngebosenin, inspiratif, ato bahkan bikin nostalgia dan empati, so you're like omg Tom from 500 Days of Summer was sooo meeee, I feel you, man, dan sebagainya..

Di blog ini saya mau coba ngasih point of view dari film-film yang pernah saya tonton, in a rookie way tentunya. Saya bukan orang yang ahli soal kritik film sampe segitunya, tapi saya coba untuk seobjektif mungkin, kalopun subjektif yah ada alasannya kok *ngeles. Oh mungkin ditambah beberapa hal lain soal musik, karena saya juga suka musik, and yes again I don't review music in a particular genre, just stuffs I overhype recently.

Sebelumnya, saya biasanya komentar soal film yang baru saya tonton lewat Twitter. Sepatah dua patah kalimat, cenderung subjektif dan seenaknya. Baru akhir-akhir ini saya mikir, saya seringggg sekali nonton film tapi rasanya sayang aja kalo film itu habis ditonton sepah dibuang, manfaatnya cuma buat nyenengin mood saya aja. Supaya bermanfaat ngelatih kemampuan analisa saya yang jongkok ini, mengikuti pepatah 'indahnya berbagi',  for the sake of carpe diem and being more productive,  it's about time. 

Here's filmfavore!


PS: Sori kalo bahasanya kagok dan campur-campur, sengaja win-win solution karena saya prefer pake bahasa Inggris sedangkan saya suck kalo nulis pake bahasa Indonesia gara-gara jarang banget baca buku bahasa Indonesia, sekalian buat sarana latihan gitu maksudnya. Jadi, maafin ya, damai. :)
