No Country for Old Men

Wednesday, June 4th, 2008

Last nite after 4 sessions of "Dance, Dance, Revolution" that erased our guilty after swallowed triple cheese hotdog and blizzard in Dairy Queen, me and hunny end our "journey thru places in the world" at Grand Indonesia by watched "No Country for Old Men" in Blitz.

He’s very curious about it, me? well, so-so lah, i expect more to this movie. it’s one of last year’s Jiffest Movies that i passed.

Starred by Tommy Lee Jones (Sheriff Ed Tom Bell), Javier Bardem (Anton Cigurh) and Josh Brolin (Llewelyn Moss), this four academy award winning movie is stunning and full of blood. yea, me don’t like it but the story was brilliant and i have to admit it’s very enjoyable eventhou i was occasionally close my eyes and scream in horor.

Llewelyn, a hunter stumbles on crime scene, dead bodies everywhere, a truck full of heroin and a dead man holding a bag contains cash US$ 2 Million.

Llewelyn, took the money and that his curse. the scary version of Cat and Mouse game is begin and i keep on jumping on my seat.

Anton Cigurh a cold blooded murder who killed not because he have to but because he wanted to, chase Llewelyn all over Texas, and left dead bodies everywhere. Meanwhile, an about to retire old Sheriff, Ed Tom, working on solving the mistery while dealing with the fact that everything change and world are meaner.

i won’t spoiled the story for you, you have to watch it yourself, but i do have one dissapointment in this movie, as a person who love to straight-talking, and prefer to confront the obstacle i’m a bit unsatisfied with the Sheriff-Murderer relationship. if you watched it then you know what i mean.

But, i love! Love..Love Javier Bardem! Man, he’s the new generation of "hannibal Lecter" a full of style and playful murderer. Not blindly rude, he also have that dangerous good manner and politeness that makes him even more scary. He really deserves that ACADEMY AWARD!

Nim’s Island

Wednesday, June 4th, 2008

Hari minggu lalu, G, Frans & Indah nonton Nim’s Island.

sejak liat trailernya beberapa waktu lalu g udah kebelet banget pengen nonton film ini. I always have sumthin for Abigail Breslin since "Raising Helen" and i don’t have to tell you about "Little Miss Sunshine" oh, that girl is sumthing.

what encouraged me even more is Jodie Foster and Gerard Butler, well Gerard will always be "Gerry" (P.S I Love You) the to-die-for-husband to me.

Nim’s Island is a magical place far away in Asiatic Ocean. Living in this remote island since toddler with her scientist dad doesn’t made her a loner. She have bunch lively animal friends (seriously, the animals made me laugh most of the time) and her passion for the series of "The Adventure of Alex Rover" books.

One day, Nim’s father lost in the sea and Nim, whose left alone in the island, send out email to her favorit Hero, Alex Rover for help.

But what Nim thought as an adventurous and daring Alex Rover is actually an agrophobic writer who locked in her apartment and live thru delivery service. Alexandra Rover, lives vicarously thru her "Adventure of Alex Rover" books.

A cry for help, from a girl who lost her dad in a remote island has moved her humanity and dragged her out of the comfort zone and take thousand miles with Plane, small plane, helicopter and boat to reach Nim.

I’m very excited when realised that Alexandra actually fly to Borneo Kalimantan on the first commercial flight, she carelessly bump into a man in Kalimantan airport and dropped book stand which accidentally shows "Petualangan Alex Rover" Yea!!! hihihii yes, in Bahasa. wasn’t it cool?!

there’s a lot of good conversation in the movie and i love the idea of raising child in nature. Nim doesn’t have Lego, Playstation and TV. She plays with coconut tree, white sand beach, swim with her Sea LIon friend and share excitement on soccer with the sea lion and the Fred the lizzard. She also very cheerful, always find happiness in small things. it’s a very insightful for us on how educate the child. nowadays, parent seems to thought that take the child to dine in fast food chains once in the weekend is a moment to remember for the child.

Go to cinema now, take your kids, nephew, niece, lil sister/brother, whoever to see this eye-dazzling woundrous adventure!
