I'm just an ordinary girl who loves flicks across all genres (except horror). From Jane Austen costume-dramas, lush fantasy epics to sfx-laden, full-throttle action, my taste in movies can be quite perplexing. My dad was in the film biz in the 70s in my home country Indonesia, so I guess I inherit his love for writing and movies. But it's my mother who first introduced Hollywood classics early in my upbringing. When I was about 11 or 12, she brought "Gone with the Wind," "The Sound of Music," and "My Fair Lady" VHS tapes from her European vacation. To this day, I still think Clark Gable is one hot & manly man (even for someone who despise mustache!); and who didn't have a crush on that stringent-but-hunky-in-uniform Captain Von Trapp? As for "My Fair Lady," the inimitably classy Audrey Hepburn was (and still is) the fairest maiden in Tinseltown.
Top 10 Favorite movies: Batman Begins, Ben-Hur, Casino Royale, Dear Frankie, Gladiator, Moulin Rouge, Return to Me, Roman Holiday, Sense & Sensibility, The Gods Must Be Crazy.

FlixChatter Review: 28 YEARS LATER (2025) – A wonderful addition to the horror series… beautiful, thoughtful, scary, and well-acted
Directed by Danny Boyle While I obviously love horror, zombie movies have never been my favorite subgenre. There are only a couple I've genuinely loved enough to watch multiple times, and one of those is 2004's 28 Days Later. In addition to having a simple but terrifying design for the zombies, it strikes the …

FlixChatter Review: The Life of Chuck (2025) – a poignant, uplifting existential drama where Tom Hiddleston gets to show off his killer dance moves
A film adaptation of Stephen King’s work by a horror director, Mike Flanagan (Ouija: Origin of Evil, Doctor Sleep) isn’t usually something I’d go for. Even during the promos for this film, Mark Hamill said he initially assumed it’d be a hair-raising thriller when he first came across the project, but it turned out to …
