A young insomniac unnamed narrator attends support groups in the attempt to relieve his insomniac state.The narrator is an office man who gets bored of his own lifestyle and wants to change it. He meets Marla at the group therapy sessions. Marla is neither victim nor a survivor but she just comes and smokes in the rooms in which the narrator participates.The narrator can't sleep because of Marla. He had to find something else to do. The narrator meets Tyler Durden on a flight to home. The narrator's house is burned down so he called Tyler Durden for help. Tyler Durden introduced him a new way to relieve his insomnia by making a fight club. The fight club is a club for everyone to fight with bare fists. Tyler develops a relationship with Marla and left the narrator alone most of the time. They fight club starts to gain many followers and the group starts to be out of control. The narrator starts to know the secret of fight club and the real identity of Tyler.

I personally enjoyed this movie so much. The movies run with fast pace which grabbed my attention all the time.As the movie goes, I started to want to know the real reason for the fight club. I also wanted to know the identity of Tyler Durden.  The ending of the movie is also plot twist and makes the movie becomes even more awesome.

Spoiler Alert!

What make the movie become plot twist is that the narrator is the same person as Tyler Durden. The narrator was bored of his lifestyle and wanted to escape from it. When he was sleeping, his mind created an illusion which was an another himself. He sleepwalks and thought that he meet with Tyler Durden. The fight club which is out of the narrator control became Project Mayhem in which the club will bomb the city. Narrator tried to stop the project but the other side of himself stopped him. Tyler wants to clean up the city because he doesn't like the lifestyle of people in the city which is extravagant.

The Usual Suspects (1995)

The story of this movie is nothing special. The acting of the actors is nothing special too. But what make this movie be ranked as rank 25th best movie of all time? The answer is its ending. It is regarded as one of the most plot twist movie of all time. If you haven't watch the movie yet, go and watch it. You would be shocked for a few days.

          The movie begins as five men who were arrested as the suspect for committing a crime. None of them were found guilty. They planned a revenge against the police which leads an event in which many people were killed and a cargo ship was set on fire. Roger 'Verbal' Kint was questioned by the police and was forced to explain what exactly happened on the night of the event. Verbal told stories about the other four-man and himself who got a mission from Keyser Soze. The question that all the police want to know is, who is Keyser Soze?

From my point of view, the movie is very boring from the start until at almost the end. The stories that were told by Verbal Kint were pretty boring. The picture of the movie looks old and outdated. The only awesome scene is the ending of the movie.

MY RATING 
Plot or story: 8/10
Acting: 8/10
Pictures: 6/10
Profound message: 5/10
Ending: 10/10
Enjoyable: 5/10
Overall: 7.0/10

Spoiler Alert (Go down) 

Verbal Kint is set for free after he told the police officer on all the stories. After he left the police station, the officer realized that all the stories that were told by Verbal were made up. Verbal is actually Keyser Soze, a legendary criminal man.

The Godfather (1972)

The Godfather is regarded as one of the best movies of all time. It is ranked in the second place of top 250 movies ever behind Shawshank Redemption in IMDB.com. People seems to like it from its classic and the acting of all the actors in the movie, the dialogue and the song of the movie.  The mafia theme is quite unique on the time of 1972 so the movie gained a lot of popularity from a lot of people. 

The story begins as, tThe Godfather "Don" Vito Corleone is the head of the Corleone mafia family in New York.  He attended to his daughter's wedding in which his youngest son, Micheal attended too. Micheal seems to not interestest in his dad's business at all. One day, a rival family wants to sell drugs and needs Don's power to make it successful. Don refused to help them and it leads to a war between the families. Don passed away from his sickness. Micheal had to become a new boss of the family.

From my perspective, the movie is quite boring because the movie runs with very slow pace. The plot is not interested me at all and maybe that the film is too old for me to enjoy it. The only thing I really enjoy about this movie is its music choice.

Forrest Gump (1994)

Some movies are action, some movies are romance, some movies are drama or some movies are the comedy, but Forrest Gump is all in one. The movie contains almost everything inside like an expensive delicious soup. 

It is a story of a man named Forrest Gump. The story is about events in his life since when he was a very young until when he has a kid. Forrest Gump suffered from wearing braces on his legs to gain a football scholarship, save soldiers life in Vietnam war or even became a professional Ping pong player and had a chance to meet the president of United States. The movie also includes some dramatic and romance of Forrest Gump's love life in it.

There are many good quotes in the movies such as, "life is a box of chocolates. You never know what you're gonna get" or "I may not be a smart man, but I know what love is." Forrest Gump is not a smart guy, when he was young, a doctor told his mom that he has IQ lower than average person although his mom taught him to not give up and believes in himself. Forrest Gump once said, "my mama says that stupid is as stupid does."  Forrest believes that one should not distinguish stupid people from their IQ but from their actions instead.

The Forrest Gump is a movie that worth to watch it more than two times. It is a movie in which for every age and for everyone. The movie has everything inside in which that if you ask other people on why do they like this movie, you might get all difference answers.

The Shawshank Redemption (1994)

Have you ever judge a movie by just it's cover. A movie with bad cover might make you feel like not to watch it. The first time when I saw the cover of The Shawshank Redemption, I thought that the movie must be very boring. And I bet that many people think that this movie must be boring as well by just judging the cover of the movie.I looked up on Wikipedia and I found that the movie earned quite a little money compare to its budget: $58 million to $25 million.  I checked the ranking of the top 250 movies of all time by IMDB.com and The Shawshank Redemption comes as number one best movie of all time. I was very surprised and decided to watch it.

 The Shawshank Redemption is a story narrated by Ellis Boyd (Morgan Freeman) which is Andy Dufresne( Tim Robbins)'s best friend. The story is started in 1947, Portland, Maine, Andy Dufresne is convicted of the murder of his wife and her lover although he didn't really commit the crime.  He is sentenced to two life sentences. The film portrayed on the life of Andy Dufresne in the prison.The film presents many morals such as to never lose hope or never give up.

There are many good quotes throughout the movie. Andy once told Ellis "Get busy living or get busy dying". Andy tried to tell Ellis to not lose any hope in the prison.  Andy once also say that " Hope is a good thing. Maybe even the best of things and good things never die." One of my favorite line in the movie is " It's funny. On the outside, I was an honest man. Straight as an arrow. I had to come to prison to be a crook."  

The best scene in this movie is the ending. Andy had proved to Ellis that hope is the best thing in life and as long as you don't lose your faith, anything good can happen.  The director made the viewers surprised by Andy's plans and actions.

MY RATING

*Spoiler Alert* (Go down)

Andy escaped the prison by spending 20 years using tiny rock hammer digging a hole on the wall. It shows that Andy planned from the very first day of his life in prison that he will escape out. He never loses faith and never gives up.
