| Film Indonesia....oh, film indonesia..... |
Alkisah, suatu malam minggu, gue pengen ngajakin mertua jalan jalan ala anak mall....sore sore gue sama suami jemput si Mam El, trus kita mengarah ke mall terdekat buat checkin' out kalau ada movie yang worth to watch, dan mungkin bisa kongkow ngopi atau have dinner sebelum itu. Tereeeeeeeeet, sampai deh kita bertiga di mall yang dituju, suasana cukup rame, jadi suami ngedrop kita di depan entrance while doi cari parkir...pesen sebelum kita turun; "Be, kalau bisa pilih filmnya jangan yang cinta cintaan ya..."
Well...i don't blame him, soalnya entah kenapa, lately film film yang diputer di bioskop ini isinya kayak mindahin sinetron TV... penuh dengan pointless lovey dovey (indonesian) movies...bisa jadi karena sebagian besar pengunjung mall di ujung Jakarta paling ujung ini kebanyakan penikmat film film jenis begitu kali yeee...
Anyway, gue sama Mam El browsing film 'now showing' yang tentunyaaaa....didominasi sama si lovey dovey movies seperti yang gue jelasin diatas...namun satu diantara berjuta (aehhh lebayy) ada satu film berposter gaya 'dark' dan berjudul ala film filmnya Jean Claude van Damme. Huhuuy....boleh lah, "malem mingguan nonton film action ya ma?" ajak gue, dan si Mam El setuju...
3 tiket di tangan, setelah kenyang menikmati dinner kita langsung cabcus ke teater dan menunggu film mulai...duduk manis, matiin HP dan wowww, impressive, the beginning of the movie sure looked really interesting...rada bangga juga liat ada sekelibatan nama berbau Indonesia di credit title. Wihhh....jangan jangan settingnya tentang Indonesia, nih film....sekelumit rasa nasionalis membuncah.
Dan........man! Ini ternyata MEMANG film Indonesia. Dikemas dengan cukup rapi. professional. penuh aksi. However....
aduh, mak....lebay banget! The whole story itself sangat ketebak di let's say...5 menit pertama, nggak ada greget buat find out what's next...karena semuanya serba klise. Jalan ceritanya tipikal banget. Pemainnya rata rata kakuuuu rek! Ada satu dua yang actingnya ala sinetron abissss. Huhuhuhuhuhu.....the only thing yang bikin the movie cukup entertaining malam itu adalah the fact that kita bisa ketawa ketawa geli liat semua kejanggalan through out the movie... and oh, nggak bisa dipungkiri...adegan adegan laga di film ini cukup terlihat believable. Hollywood better watch out! :)
I am DAMN proud to be Indonesian. But when it comes to movies...duh,sepetinya gue...masih kepingin menikmati produknya Paman Sam nih. maaf ya....Indonesia-ku.Labels: curhat, indonesia, movies |

| The Transporter 3 |
Last night Iman and I went to see the 3rd sequel of the transporter at Bekasi Square...(hehehhe where else?) The theater was nice, not too full since people here were more interested in watching some local slapstick comedy or Bolt, which I recently watched already...so yeah, we're flying free. Got us perfectly good seats, and there we were nibbling on some beng bengs we got earlier.
Over all, the plot was very transporter-y...as you prolly know already if you've watched the other 2 sequels, Frank Martin the cold face driving wonder needed to deliver Valentina, a kidnapped Ukrainian Minister's daughter from Marseilles to Odessa. And ofcourse, the course will not be THAT simple. With a whim-wham sham-a-lam transporter style car chases with the well known Black Audi and Frank Martin's martial art super wonder along the way, the movie leads us to a steamy relationship between Frank and Valentina.
Pretty interesting and entertaining... fun, and it scored a 7 out of 10 in my book :)
happy watching...Labels: movies, reviews |

| Kurosagi! |
Hahahaha...might as well tell you, the secret of my understanding a little Japanese was my interest in watching the Japanese doramas or TV dramas. So glad i am living in Jakarta where i can easily get a hold on those dvd doramas...i knoooow i knowww that is such a bad act of piracy supporting, but what can i say, they are pretty luring! Gomen ne... :(
After a while of waiting, I got my hands on this particular doramas called Kurosagi which tells us about a guy, whose family were messed up real good by a swindler (con artist) and then he sworn to avenge his family by getting back to those swindlers around. Pretty interesting. Especially when I knew it was played by Yamashita Tomohisa or known as YamaPi by his adoring fans (that includes me, i guess. hehehe) I kept on marathon watching it and loving every minute of it! Sugoi!
So if you are a doramalover and a YamaPi fan this one series is a must see and scores big time according to me. Yaaaaaay....YamaPi rules! Motto motto kakkoii desu!
see what i mean? hehehhe...jaa ne!Labels: boys, doramas, entertainment, movies |

| Entertainment catching up this week! -Twilight- |
My my my...just realized that I have been missing out on some of the goodies lately when it comes to common entertainments due to my extra crammed-up workloads...luckily now i have the privilege and the time to do some catch up on that department! Starting with movies...
Recently everywhere I go I keep on hearing raves and comments about Twilight the movie. Well, actually I have heard about this best selling novel by Stephenie Meyer turned big hit movie from quite a while ago from the Middle School-High School Library. I have always wondered what's all the big fuss about, but the books were sooo hot and wanted i was never getting any chance to lay my hands on one, until the friggin movie was released!
The "girls" (by that i meant my elementary students) were always asking me if I'm gonna go watch the movie soon. Some moms even told me that it's a must see and some of them even went to see the movie like 4 times! That sure gave me a big push. I got to see this! :) And finally one 'easy' night, I succeeded in dragging Iman mijn liebchen to watch it in EX after work. We got one of the front seaters...(sucks!)but luckily the seat was quite comfy I didn't mind it that much.
To cut to the chase here's what the main idea's about: Twilight tells a story about Bella a girl recently moved in to live with her father in a small town Forks, DC. There she met an interesting guy, Edward Cullen who never failed to surprise her with his extraordinary charms...until Bella found out that he's actually a "vegetarian" vampire. And the story rolls from there. Over all I thought that was a good teen romance. Entertaining with easy on the eyes casts. pretty cool effects, and it lead me to finally gave up, and just buy the damn books. Hehehhe.... Iman as I had predicted thought it was pretty girlie and plain. Aww well, I couldn't really sell the 'Edward Cullen' cuteness charms point on him, I suppose! ehhh, nevermind..
So, yeah...I'm on the first book now out of the 3 that have been released, so far the book offered more detailed graphic in my head...with that cute Edward Cullen from the movie, though...played by Robert Pattinson.
