Blissful Life: lena headey

More like 'Rise of the Women', right guys? Its not that I have anything against feminism but this movie is totally like turd in a bowl. A complete disappointment and anti-climatic. It supposed to be the sequel for the 300 film, the one with King Leonidas (Gerald Butler), but in the movie 300, everyone died including King Leonidas. Anyway, this movie is a fictional reenactment of the ancient battle, and by fictional, I mean some of the scenes would be exaggerated or just for fun.

So this movie takes place after the battle of Thermopylae, the death of King Leonidas, and during the reign of Queen Gorgo (Lena Headey). The deceased King Leonidas only slowed down the Persian army from marching all over Greece, so the threat of invasion still loom over Sparta and Athens.

Its true that sex and violence does sells. And this movie right here have the both of them, by depicting a whole lot of bloodbath, raping, and pillaging. I know that this movie receives mixed reviews, where some would enjoy this movie, while others like me won't enjoy it much. The reason was that, for me personally, I watched it because of the Spartan theme where I expected to see some Spartans to do some blood spilling, not boning. If I wanted to watch that, I would have rented a porn video.

[Movie] The Purge

I cannot believe I totally forgot about this movie. The Purge is a 2013 sci-fi thriller movie. Frankly, I didn't have much expectation on this film. Turns out the movie was actually pretty good. I remembered this movie all of the sudden after I was looking for something to watch after watching that torturous porn movie The Wolf of Wall Street.

Why did I suddenly remembered this movie? This movie is among many movies that receives mixed critic, mostly negative, but end up being completely satisfying. I'm not kidding. This movie stay true to its plot and theme, it definitely worth to add into you marathon movie collection. I put this movie in Thriller section along with the Shutter Island and Memento movie.

The plot of the movie is about new America, in 2022, when the country is reborn anew thank to the New Founding Fathers of America where crimes have been legalized on one day annually. The only rules is that government officials ranking 10 and above cannot be harm while weapon class 4 and higher cannot be used. Police, fire station, hospital and all emergency services would be suspended, and everybody have to fend for themselves. Anyone who go against the rules would be executed. The idea of the Purge is to flush out the homeless, those who were considered as general burden to the society like a bunch of drug addicts or hippies or something. In other word its some sort of a general population control. For example, there are high rate of poverty and unemployment right? So you get to slaughter those poor and homeless bastards. Rate goes done. Easy smeasy. But is it, even practical?
