Gw kasiy pelem ini Lima Bintang! Bagus Bangeueueuueuuuuuuutttttt!!! Ga nyangka akhirnya bakal begitu.
Ceritanya berkisar sekitar Errol Babbage (Richard Gere) seorang pekerja sosial (department of public safety) yang sangat loyal, berdedikasi sehingga malah cenderung hypervigilance dan tenggelam terlalu dalam pada masalah klien-kliennya, keluarga korban kekerasan seksual (karena kebanyakan korban tak ditemukan alias menghilang atau diketemukan dalam keadaan meninggal mengenaskan).
Karena itulah dia dipecat dari pekerjaannya dan ditugasi mentraining penggantinya perempuan muda bernama Allison Lowry (Claire Danes) sebelum check out.
Errol men-training Allison dengan sangat keras dalam rentang waktu yang sangat singkat yang ia punyai. Yang kebetulan pula sedang ada kasus baru menghilangnya seorang gadis muda berumur 17 tahun, Harriet Wells. Depresi yang berlebihan karena obsesi memecahkan kasus membuat Errol melakukan kekerasan dan hal yang agak2 ridiculous terhadap tersangka bahkan (yang dalam pandangannya sebagai) korbannya.
Banyak pelajaran mengenai psikologi didalamnya. Membawa penonton terbawa bersama alur cerita yang menghanyutkan sekaligus menegangkan tanpa harus menabur banyak sound yang mengaget-ngagetkan penonton. Alurnya smooth dan agak sulit dicerna apalagi klo ga pake subtitle heheheheee… Silakan tonton!!! Really recommended!!!
Aku orang yg mood-nya naik turun and gampang banget terkena sindroma boring. Celakanya, terdampar di divisi kerja yg klerikal and rutin bangetttt ngettt ngetttt… Nahhh biasane klo lagi drop out (huuu kuliah kaleeee drop out) mood begitu aku suka melakukan hal2 dibawah ini biar hidup agak lebih berwarna hehehee…
1. Kenakan pakaian semaunya (hehehe secara geto loch, aku ga pake seragam :p). Ehm, maap manajemen, tidak bermaksut provokasi (ketawa setan mode on*). But, don’t worry buat yang mengenakan seragam, bisa nambah detail apa aja yang bikin beda. Yang biasa pake celana, bisa coba ganti rok, begitu pun sebaliknya (catatan: berlaku buat gender apapun kyaahahahhaaaaaa…) Lainnya, bisa tambahkan vest, syal, atau dasi yang lucu2 and warna-warni. Klo mau juga bisa tambah topi ala koboy yg dimatchingkan sama sepatu botnya hehehe…
2. Sarapan dengan makanan kesukaan, disarankan minum hot chocolate (yummy… kesukaan aku bangetttzzz… Jadi pengennnn). Yang sukanya duren, boleh makan duren, yang sukanya makan rujak, boleh makan rujak, yang sukanya makan batako, boleh juga makan batako hihihi…
3. Iringi hari Anda dengan lagu2 bersemangat. Seperti keroncong kemayoran, Stasiun Balapan, Duh Engkang, Tongtolang Nangka, ataupun lagu2nya waljinah yang rock abisssyyy yeaaahhhhh!!!!
4. Klo masih juga lom naek tuh mood, bikin tulisan2 gila kayak beginian heheheheee… Artineeeeeeee GW LAGI SUTRISSS ABIIISSSSSSSSS!!!!!!!

Judulnya seru yah??? Hehehehee… Ehm, baiklah… Aku mulai berfikir lagi tentang hal yang tak penting. Kali ini objek penelitiannya adalah diriku sendiri :p
Menulis bisa menjadi terapi kejiwaan ataukah malah menjadi pencetus penyakit jiwa???
Bagi sebagian orang, terutama yang kurang lihai menterjemahkan dan mensinkronkan kerja otak ke dalam bahasa verbal, menulis merupakan sebuah solusi. Menulis yang dimaksud disini adalah menuangkan sebuah pemikiran dalam bentuk essai, bukan sekedar mengetik atau menulis dalam artian harfiah. Aku, adalah orang yang kadang bisa berhenti “bicara” (chat juga kuanggap sedang berbicara) di tengah-tengah tanpa tahu harus berkata apa selanjutnya karena mungkin kerja otakku tak sinkron dengan kerja jari dan mulutku. Otakku telah selesai berfikir dan meloncat ke topik yang lain sedangkan jari dan mulutku belum sempat menuangkannya dalam bentuk verbal. Haha… cacat. :p
Menulis bisa membuatku tenang manakala hati bergejolak. Bahkan menulis bisa mensugesti diri untuk tidak memikirkan suatu masalah yang “belum selesai”. Ketika aku tak tahu sebuah jawaban atas suatu hal, aku akan menyelesaikan semuanya dalam bentuk tulisan. Dan percaya atau tidak, itu membuatku lebih rileks dan tidak akan menganggapnya sebagai suatu masalah lagi.
Persoalan muncul ketika sugesti tersebut semakin menguasai, bahkan membuat kita terperangkap dalam sebuah dunia imajinatif yang kita buat sendiri. Membuat seseorang mempunyai “dunia sendiri”, dan mulai tidak bisa membedakan antara khayalan dan kenyataan.
So, mau jadi penulis? hehehheee…
MOVIE
Bangku bioskop ga penuh, bahkan ada beberapa penonton yang out sebelum filmnya selese. Tapi buat gw, film ini gw kasih rate ***** !!!!
Film ini berkisah tentang penyelamatan anak-anak korban perang bersetting di China Era Perang Dunia keII. Dengan brilliant, EFHS membawa gw untuk menghayati kengerian, kekejaman, penderitaan, namun tak lupa menyelipkan arti kasih sayang dan cinta antar sesama manusia dalam sebuah peperangan.
Tak mengobral paparan lelehan air mata para pemain, namun mampu menyentuh bahkan menghunjam relung sanubari tentang sebuah arti kemanusiaan. Bahkan hanya dengan pameran ekspresi tanpa kata-kata. Kedekatan antara George Hogg (Jonathan Rhys Meyers) dan anak-anak itu begitu terlihat nyata dan menyentuh.
Yah… lumayan bikin mata bengkak buat gw yang gampang banget bercucuran airmata hehehehe… Keluar bioskop nunduk terussssssss :p
Pemain: George Hogg (Jonathan Rhys Meyers), Jack Chen (Chow Yun-Fat), Lee Pearson (Radha Mitchell), Mrs. Wang (Michelle Yeoh)
Inspiring thing : When there is a will, there is a way. Tak ada yang tak mungkin bila kita mau berusaha. Dan satu yang pasti,
STOP WAR!!!!! NOTHING GREAT WE CAN GET FROM IT BESIDES MISERY AND DISASTER!!!!! Just spread peace, pls….
Buat gw, membaca buku (baca:novel) dan menonton film adalah kegiatan yang sakral. Dimana konsentrasi terfokus penuh disertai penghayatan mendalam untuk mencerna setiap huruf, kata, kalimat, adegan yang tersurat maupun tersirat didalamnya bahkan memiliki kecenderungan menjadi autis ketika melakukannya. Novel dan film memberi gw banyak pelajaran hidup, seakan membawa gw larut dalam setiap kisah.
Favorit gw adalah film dan novel yang full of inspiration, filsafat hidup, much better klo diilhami dari sebuah kisah nyata, seperti film-filmnya Tom Hanks (Philadelphia, Forrest Gump, You’ve got mail), Robbin Williams (Patch Adam, Good Will Hunting, Bicentennial Man, Jack), Russel Crow (A Beautiful Mind, American Gangster dengan Denzel Washington), Will Smith (The Pursuit of Happyness) de el el… Banyak yang lain, dah lupa hehehhee…
Klo bukunya, yang gw favoritin kebanyakan yang agak-agak berbau psikologi tapi ga nutup kemungkinan jg baca genre yang lain, kayak Supernova : Akar, 24 wajah Billy, Sybill, novel-novel karya Paulo Coelho, Middlesex, Balada Si Roy, 5 cm, Kionelle, Ayat-ayat Cinta, Tetraloginya Andrea Hirata, de el el… Yang ngocol2 gokil juga suka, tapi jangan yg garinks…
Oks deiy mulai sekarang gw bakal ngereview buku or film yang gw baca or tonton disertai rate versi gw,
* Hmmm… Not recommended
** Oke dech buat hiburan doank
*** Lumayan, ada yang bisa “dipetik”
**** Wahhh Bagusssyyyy, recommended
***** Bagus bangeeeeuuuuuuuuddddt, must see movie
Hi there! Feel so happy after spend a lot of time with friends this Saturday! So very happy to have you around that day guys!
A friend of mine asked me to join him and his gank to go to Dufan (Dream Land) this Saturday. And I without any doubts said yess in a sudden. Yea, you know I really need to scream and raised my adrenaline these days. It’s just like a dream come true! (Hyperbola mode on :p)
We were actually eleven people, but because of we had different orientation so we were spread up. Me with my friend and my friend’s friend, my other friend’s friend with his four “family”, and my other friend’s friend were came late because have to go to an invitation first with his girl friend (which is my friend’s friend either) and her brother. Confusing ha? Hahahha… I love this paragraf.
We start our journey playing “Arung Jeram” (rafting), with a thought that we will have a lot of time to dry our clothes after it by playing other games. And you know what??? My clothes were extremely wet!!! It’s all wet! Gosh! I was just like already drown in a river!! Okay, that’s too much actually, but I really am sooooooooo much wet. The water was got me from all direction. Fortunately I wore mostly dark color clothes so it were’nt too much seen. Well, at least that’s what my friend’s friend told me.
It was a great warming up, but I just believed that people screaming in this game just because they were wet, not because of they scared of the “river” flow.
We were continued to play “halilintar”. Well, it’s not so scary anymore after several times I ride it. The rail way is too short so we only need probably not even over a minute to play the game. But, it’s not bad for another warming up though.
We went to have lunch after “halilintar”. My friend’s friend seem so starving with his pitty look from the first time we arrived at Dufan. I didn’t have a heart to make his pitty look on his face any longer haha… Hey no offense, mate!
After lunch we continued to not too extreme game. We were going to “Extreme Log”. Didn’t it sound ironic when we felt something not too extreme while it called “Extreme Log”? Haha… People made a veeeeeeeeeeeerrryyyyy looooooonnggg line to queue this game. Make us so interrested and curiouse about the game. But believe me, it’s not so interresting like it looks. Not worthed for the time we spent to queue.
“Bianglala” or Giant Wheel was our next adventure. We had a snack given by Little Abiel who join us in the same “cup(?)” with his parents. This little child is so cute and has very friendly parents which chat about their experience in Dufan. And they got us when they’re saying, “You all must be single working people which have nothing to do in weekend. Just gathering with friends doing these stuffs.” Haha! You really got us right, and we were just smiling so meaningful to each other.
Then we go to find “Niagara gara” a water fall train. Actually I was tried to reject the idea because my clothes were almost dry that time. If I play the game, I must be wet again. But I was loose the vote :p While we were looking for the game we saw another one called “Kicir Kicir”. I wasn’t had gut in the last time I visited Dufan, so I can’t help my self not to try it this time.
Wow!!! It’s really great game, you know! You must try it if you haven’t! This game gave so many surprises spinning type! You can’t hardly guess where will the machine take you. It’s just great! And make me laugh and screaming (in a falsetto tone haha…) a lot.
At “Niagara gara” we met my friend’s friend girl friend and her brother in the line. Her boyfriend rejected to play the game. So we were decided to do it in a group (five of us, me and my friend and my friend’s friend plus her with her brother). The three of us which sitting in the back row not that wet because my friend’s friend were tall, so he covered the water to get us just like my strategy who sitting right behind him hahhaha…! Thanks mate!
After this, we were spread again. I’m with my old group seeing mirrorr house, and my friend’s friend group seeing my other friend’s friend with his “family”.
After mirrorr house (requested by my friend’s friend), we go to play “Star Wars”. I got 5800 points. It’s more interresting than the “Extreme Log” I supposed. Because we used gun just like in computer game, only the target was alien statue (or robots?).
Then we play “Bumper Cars”, it’s so fun! Fun when we can hit other cars without afraid of the cop hehehhee…
The day were getting dark that time, and we decided to met my friend’s friend with his girl friend and her brother at “Kicir Kicir”. Really exciting to watch them play the game and see how their affected by it. Not very long time they were arrived. But when my friend’s friend and his girl friend’s brother get ready for the game, we heard a great sound like gun shot! Gosh, it’s firework!!! Wowwwwwwww!!! It’s so beautiful and very close!!!
The sky was full of colors and light… Hmmm… the day was so perfect… I love it so much… I don’t know what the occasion so this playground showed us this firework. Well in fact, I like it much!
After “Kicir Kicir” we decided to try the newest game at Dufan for the last play. Yeah!!! It’s Tornado!!! Seem so scary game, so make my friend rejected to join me to try it before. But when his friend and his girl friend’s friend brother showing the same excitement just like me to try the game, he at last joints us to try it. Yea!!! It’s wonderful game indeed!!! We were spinned and hanged so high in so extreme pose!!! Our head were down and hanged for couple second!!! If the safety belt were not work properly, we must crashed with broke bonnes everywhere (if not dead ofcourse). And again, I was laugh and scream a lot in this game!!! Without any falsetto tone!!! Hahahhaa!!! I really scream so hard!!! Gosh… It’s so relieving…
We were ended the day with dinner at “Bandar Jakarta”. It’s so really wonderful time with you all guys! I mean it! Especially in my lately day mental condition hehehhee…
And, so very special thank for my friend who asked me to hang out with your gank to have this beautiful time… I really love it

I watched Hancock last night. And I found a hidden philosophy which very me in it.
“Together is pleasant, but when it makes you weak and slow, just take a step on your own”
