Comments:
Like always, i really need to collect my courage to see the movie he he, horror is really not my type ^_^. So, i choose midday to see the movie, the sun is out there so no reason to be afraid.
I don't know the original korean movie, i kind of like the movie. Moderate creepy ^_^, the ghosts were still frightening but no crazy sounds which will cause you a heart attack. That's one good thing about the movie. The story was quite interesting, though the line was a bit slow. The end is quite unpredictable. One thing i want to complaint is the slow story, and Paul seems an addition character, since without his presence, nothing is affected. His relation with Sydney is rather awkward. One thing for sure, to see this movie is almost the same with seeing Shutter. The same taste ^_^

Fun facts:
  • RenĂ©e Zellweger was cast as leading actress
  • Jessica Alba has to take violin class for 6 months and basic braille for her role as Sydney Wells
  • During the scene where the dead "report card boy"'s mother gets on the elevator. Helen asks what floor the lady is on the lady replies "14". When they go up the lady gets off first, when Sydney lives on the 13th floor.

Comments:

Samuel L. Jackson definitely awsome playing his part ^_^. The movie is quite nice for a drama movie, but absolutely boring as an action movie. One thing i like, the end is unpredictable, however the story line is just simple. In the movie Tom is said to do some dirty works for his previous boss, and he also in "the list" made by Norcut, where everybody in the list has received money from him, i saw nothing linked to this. Norcut is just missing, and everybody forgets about the list. That's absolutely weird, oh well, what can i say. I don't like the movie verymuch tough it's not worst movie ever. A bit boring but still go ahead if you like to watch ^_^

Fun facts:
  • As Tom is sitting on the bed thinking of his wife he reaches under the bed for a box and the clock in the background reads 11:40. We then see a close up of Tom smelling her perfume and the clock now reads 11:38.

Comments:

Nice drama movie ^_^. Seeing the title i tought Juno was comedy, but i was wrong. A drama that show there are a lot of options around. Which way to choose or how we react is just depend to us. I love to see how supporting Juno's father and step mother Bren to their daughter during the pregnancy, and instead off yelling at Juno, the father accept it very well and he also show his support by accompany his daughter to meet the future foster parents. Juno was also make a good decision by hand over her baby for an adoption rather than have an abortion. The best part is when i saw how supporting Bren (the step mother) and Leah (the friend) while Juno was giving a birth to the baby. It's like not too many people has the privelege experiencing such condition, right? Well, not that i agree of being pregnant at 16 and no husband, but this movie show a better way to solve problems. And i also love when Juno realized that there was someone that love her no matter what, tough the movie does not show in a proper way if there was somebody which head over heel to Juno. The movie is ok, go ahead and watch ^_^

Fun facts:
  • The hamburger phone that used by Juno is belong to the writer, Diablo Cody
  • The first film released by Fox Searchlight Pictures to gross the $100 million mark at the box office.
  • Juno was the Roman Goddess of childbirth and marriage.
  • When Juno is talking to Leah on the phone, she says, "It's Morgan Freeman. I was wondering if you had any bones that need collecting." Morgan Freeman wasn't in The Bone Collector (1999)., it's should be Denzel Washington.
  • When Juno and Leah are at the mall, a Rogers Communications kiosk can be clearly seen in the background. The film takes place in Minnesota; Rogers Communications is a Canadian cable company, there isn't any in United States.
  • Juno explains that her name comes from the mythological wife of the Greek god Zeus. In Greek mythology, Zeus' wife's name is Hera. Juno is the wife of the Jupiter

The searching is begin by meeting a UN officer called Boris whom mistaken the three to CIA agents. Soon they realize that none of UN, NATO, or any country, wants to catch Fox for real, there are many hidden intention lo let him run free.

Comments:

Hmmm...at the beginning, i think the movie is very exciting, war reporters..i mean that's sounds like wow! And it was nice at the beginning, but as the story goes i found it a bit boring. They were just talking and talking and talking *_*. Fox was to easy to catch, and to hunt a famous war criminal, the obstacles they faced were just too little. I know i'm just a regular watcher and i don't know exactly which part they said the movie is smart and exciting (hmmm????). But anyway, apart from the weird story, this movie is quite nice and the actors play were nice.
All i can say is this is just different than what i've expected ^_^. For others may be not that bad, but for me, i'll skip.

Fun facts:
  • The UN mission ended in 20 December 1995 when NATO took over (IFOR/SFOR). In 2000 there should have been SFOR flags instead of the UN flags, SFOR patches, not UN and no blue berets. Military vehicles should have their national camouflage painting and SFOR markings.

Comments:

Hmmm, seeing the legend, this movie should be fantastic, but somehow i found it a bit boring.
Jason Behr acting is flat and i don't feel any imotion involve, well he supposed to be a man whom protected his lover, right? Amanda Brooks was even better. And on the city scene, where the evil Buraki was attacked by the military force, i felt like watched another Godzilla movie.
Basically, the effect is quite nice, but the story is not strong and Jason Behr is definitely flat.
And the conclusion? Oh well, just watch if you have sooooo many spare time and tooooo much money to spend ^_^

Fun facts:
  • On the beach scene, after Ethan rescue Sarah from the hospital, Sarah is dressed in hospital gown and slippers, she slips off her slippers and than walks down the beach.

THE INCREDIBLE HULK

Title : The Incredible Hulk

Genre : Action

Cast : Edward Norton, Liv Tayler, Tim Roth, William Hurt

Rating : QC passed ^_^, go ahead and see it

Synopsis:

The film began with fragments of events where Dr. Bruce Banner (Edward Norton), starts the gamma radiation project and he become the experiment object. Something has gone wrong and change Banner into furious green giant, he destroys the lab, kills a couple of security and hurt his lover, Dr. Elizabeth Ross (Liv Tyler) and his dad, General Thaddeus Ross (William Hurt). This caused Banner to be a fugitive for years. General Ross is very determined to catch Banner and mobilise his best people to capture Banner, one of them is Emil Blonsky (Tim Roth), which later become Hulk's first opponent.
Having a simple life in crowded Brazillian small city, Banner tries to do anything to surpress his anger. He works in local beer factory and practising hard portugese. Keep on searching oh the cure, he is online with somebody called Mr. Blue, which ask for his blood sample and advice of a flower as a cure which is failed. Soon, General Ross finds him and aims his troops to the city . Banner is edged and turn to mighty Hulk, furiously destroy everything around and try to escape.

The two are fugitive now, and wherever they run, the general finds them. And the end they have to face Blonsky which turned into horrible creature.

Comments:

Well, now i just realize this movie is a bit more like the previous film at 2003, the point is the same, Banner changed and must avoid General Ross seizure. I think there are many episodes in the comics and also the television, why don't they make it differently? Hmmm...
Ok then, this movie is quite interesting, i like it ^_^. Edward Norton is just perfect for Banner's role, i can't imagine anyone better ^_^. The whole story was dominated by General Ross's effort to chase banner, the duel between Hulk and the monster was quite furious but very short, and at the end he just gave up that easily? This Hulk was very much look like animation, the green television hulk was look even alive (since he was real human ho ho). Apart form that, i think this movie has the same level with Spiderman, quite entertaining ^_^
And to my suprised, they linked Hulk with Iron Man, Robert Downey Jr. showed up in the last part, still played as Tony Stark, he he he ^_^. And i bet there will be Hulk 2 and 3, he he there are many unsolved matters there.

Fun facts:
  • The Incredible Hulk joined Toronto's Green-Screen initiative, to help cut carbon emissions and waste created during filming. Edward Norton had fun using a hybrid vehicle on set.
  • William Hurt, who play as General Ross and his son are big fans of Hulk
  • In the comics, Emil Blonsky was a KGB agent who takes on a scaly reptilian appearance, becoming the Abomination. Louis Leterrier felt that while that was cool, it made no sense considering there was no reptile mix in his origin. So in this film Blonsky's appearance is redefined to have his skin/muscles/bones exaggerated and sticking out all over his body; he however retains pointed ears as a tribute to his original form.
  • 'Tim Roth' signed on the film because he was a fan of "The Incredible Hulk" (1978), as well as to please his comic-book-fan sons. On set, he constantly asked whether this would "be a cool shot" for his kids to see him in. He thoroughly enjoyed playing Blonsky, but found it difficult since to portray Blonsky's over-the-hill state he could not work out; but he hired a personal trainer to assist him in motion-capturing the Abomination's movements.
  • The character of General Ross is incorrectly portrayed as a three-star Lieutenant General instead of a four-start General, yet his name plate still shows "General Ross."

A newlywed couple Ben (Joshua Jackson) and Jane (Rachael Taylor) is moving to Tokyo for honey moon and to stay due to Ben's job as a photographer. They drive along a quiet road in the middle of the night. Jane is accidently hit a girl while try to see a map, she's frightened but confussed since they can not find the body.

But since he did not love her, he told Megumi to stay away, but she was totally in love and refuse to stay away and keep shadowing Ben where ever he goes. Jane determines to find out what is really going on, and the more she search, the worse facts she finds.

Comments:

Though Rottontomatoes rate this movie as weird and boring movie, i like this film a lot. Fist because there is no shocking sounds like any other hollywood horrors (and i just realize that americans love that shocking sounds!). Hollywood horrors and shocking sounds or musics are just inseparable, so weird. This movie is just go smoothly, scary, shocking, and has unpredictable ends. But for those who love the shocking sounds and scary scene, this movie might look boring, more over, beside the present of scary Megumi, none other is scary. This is more like horror drama movie, i bet the original movie is way scarier, thai movie. And don't bother to find me one hi hi ^_^

Fun facts:
  • On driving scene, it was showed heavy rain but after car crashed, no rain appears and snow piles on street sides.
  • When Ben is in the dark room and the ghost touches his neck, which he tought it's his wife, we can see that the arm is cover with dark sweater, and when he got back and realized that it was not his wife, Megumi was not wearing a dark sweater.
  • Early in the film, Ben tells Jane that they can't call a friend back in New York because back home it's three a.m., "yesterday." Actually, the time difference between New York and Tokyo is thirteen hours, Tokyo being thirteen hours ahead of New York. So it might have been three a.m. there, but not three o'clock in the morning the previous day.

One day Jack is sailing due to a research and asking his daughter to come along, but Nim refuses and prefer to stay in the island. One night the hurricane strikes and Nim's lost contact to his father, Nim is asking her favorite writer, Alex Rover (Jodie Foster), to come to help her find her father. Since Alex has written the best adventure novels, which Nim admires. And when they meet, Nim soon realize that her hero, is not even close to what she has imagined. And yet they still have to find Jack.

Comments:
This movie remind me of home alone, the identical scene where Nim is alone in the remote island and must protect her island of strangers. Overall, there is nothing much we can expect in the movie. The imagination that they say Nim has is also not very dominating, and at first it will be like Pan's Labyrinth whereas the imagination of the role character is focus on. Adult may be bored in first 30 minutes, but this is a family drama, and it is completely safe to bring your children to see the movie.

Fun facts:
  • The role of Selkie, Nim's sea lion, is played by two sea lion origin from Sea World Australia.

Comments:

I love to see this movie! ^_^ The tension is so high, and it made me tense and diguise hi hi. As i said before i was excited to see the movie. And though i don't recognize other cast than Mark Wahlberg, it still a nice movie. The tense and surprised element were high but not too much. Their acting is also quite natural And like any other Shyamalan's movie, the end is also twisting. But not to twisting that made me complained he he he. Well, basically the story is simple, a run away journey of a family that try to avoid something that they don't know. What i disguised is the killing scene, it very harsh and quite sadistic for me, you can see people hanged by a rope, slicing his vein, and even crushed by a landmow!! What a horrible way to die, hikss. Almost the same with The day adter tomorrow, where there is no solution of the problems. And the funny thing was, when iwalked out, i saw a girl asked her friends with a very serious face, "What is the story about??" Wa ha ha ha ha ha ha, they demanded problem solving!
After watched the movie, i was thinking, isn't possible that someday the weakest creature like plants will do wny harm to us, since we have hurt them for decades. The message is deep, just don't mess up with nature or else, someday or sometime, they will strive and when it happens, i don't wat to be around ^_^.

Funny facts:
  • When Shymalan wrote the script, he only thinks about Mark Wahlberg playing as the main character
  • 85% of the movie is take place outside
  • The film took 44 days to shoot and 9 years after The Sixth Sense
  • This movis is rate R, due to so many violence scene

Comments :

I was excited to see this movie. I never read the synopsis nor comments, but hey i have this strong feeling ^_^, i felt this is a good movie, and it was right ha ha ha ha. Naomi Watts played her part wonderfully, as a betrayal wife and then as a loving wife. But her potray as spoil and not very smart Kitty Garstin, was just the best. Edward Norton also played very good, his cool, akward, and silent character made me in love hue he he he he ^_^. Very cool.
As a drama lover, this is a good film for me, but for those whom dislike drama, this movie will be boring, since it is only talking, and talking. The girls who was sitting beside me was very irritable, annoying, she couldn't stop complain. Why didn't she leave if she hate the movie so much? What a crap. Well, if you want to see another love story, this movie is perfect for you. A recommended drama ^_^

Fun facts :
  • Nicole Kidman was the first option to play Kitty Garstin
  • Edward Norton personally choose Naomi watts for her role.
  • Edward Norton injured his back during the shooting
  • In the scene when Dr. Fane telling Kitty he wants to divorce, Kitty's necklace which was given by Charles Townsend is disappear and reappear between shots.

My new skill ^_^

Well yes, i develop a new skill ^_^, considering this as fun, not something serious.

Lately, i've watched so many movies, some were good the other were bad. But as Pak Bondan said, "no food is meant to be awfull, if it is there must be something wrong, some small mistakes" that's the same with my philosophy, no movie is awfull, everybody make movie so other can enjoy them, they start everything with great passion and huge hope and expectation. And when things go bad, well there are tons of people watching, and you can not fulfill all of their hunger, right?
So there is always somebody that say that movie is awfull and the other will say, it's great ^_^.

To all movie makers, just continue to make movies, i'll watch them, and when i say it's bad, there will be others said it's good. Well it is just a matter of taste, isn't it?

Back to the new skill, i can tell you weather a movie is good or bad by a feeling. Hue he he he he he he, i won't said it's scientific, this is just a feeling. And for this couple months it worked ^_^.
Well, to see the synopsis and thriller will also help. But tough i felt the movie is bad, i still went and saw it, hi hi so to a movie freak like me, any movie will be nice to see, tough the outcome will be vary, satisfying or no.

Horror bikin kuping sakit, huh

Selain rasa ngeri yang ditimbulkan saat nonton film horror di bioskop, yang paling tidak saya sukai berikutnya adalah sound yang mengagetkan. Bukan musik yang creepy itu ya tapi yang tiba-tiba itu, untuk memberi efek kejutan. Sayangnya, kalau buat saya bukan kejutan yang dihasilkan tapi telinga yang nyut-nyutan T_T .

Dari film horor yang sudah saya lihat, sound yang paling parah adalah The Messenger, setiap menit dan setiap adegan selalu disertai dengan sound-sound yang mengagetkan dan menyakitkan, bahkan saking seringnya, telinga saya benar-benar sakit saat keluar dari gedung bisokop. Aaaaarrrrrrggg!

Ada ga se film horror hollywood yang bagus? Creepy but clever?

ONE MISSED CALL

Title : One missed call

Genre : Horror

Cast : Shannyn Sossamon, Edward Burns, Ana Claudia Talancon

Rating : Halah, so so deh

Pic : 21.com

Synopsis:

Sebuah telepon tak terjawab menunjukkan hari dan jam kematian penerimanya. Dimulai dari Shelley yang tenggelam di dasar kolam ikan di rumahnya, lalu berturut-turut teman-teman yang nomer teleponnya ada di phonebook ponselnya. Setiap kali mendapat telepon tak terjawab, si penerima akan mulai berhalusinasi, melihat hal-hal yang mengerikan di sekitar mereka sebelum menemui ajal mereka.
Beth Raymond harus berpacu dengan waktu untuk menolong sahabatnya Taylor, dan ketika dia juga mendapatkan satu missed call, maut sudah semakin dekat

Comments:

Yeah, apa yang bisa saya komentari? Film ini diadaptasi dari film jepang berjudul Chakusin ari, yang saya yakin pasti akan lebih menyeramkan film aslinya ^_^. Just like any other Hollywood horrors, film ini memiliki ending yang gantung (dan membuat saya bete) juga ditambah dengan sound yang menyakitkan telinga. Meski tidak separah The Messanger, selesai nonton film ini, telinga saya menderita.
Filmnya cukup menegangkan dan jalan ceritanya lumayan seru, akting pemainnya biasa-biasa saja, Edward Burns lumayan cakep (hi hi hi). Yang pasti menonton film ini isinya cuma kaget-kaget dan kaget, haiyaaaaah. Tapi, karena tidak terlalu mengerikan, makanya saya berani-berani ajah nonton horror hollywood hi hi

Fun facts :
  • Saat mempersiapkan film ini, sutradara Eric Valette tidak pernah melihat film aslinya Chakushin ari (2003), dan meminta para pemain lainnya untuk tidak melihatnya juga.
  • 508 adalah kode area untuk Brockton, Massachusetts.
  • Ketika Beth dan Taylor terbangun karena suara ponsel mereka (yang tidak memiliki baterai di dalamnya), Beth bilang telepon masuk pada pukul 7:32 malam, tetapi di ponsel terlihat jam 8:32 malam.
  • Menurut suara di voice mail, Taylor akan mati pada hari Jum'at pukul 7.32 malam, tetapi pada lokasi syuting acara TV, dia meninggal pukul 8.32 malam, satu jam lebih lama dibanding suara di voice mail.

Film horor???!!!!

Haduuuuuh, gawat ini (panik mode on)

Lagi browsing-browsing ke situsnya 21 lha kok cuma nemu satu film baru, horor pulak!
Hikss, terus terang biarpun saya termasuk cukup berani pulang malem (halah), masalah nonton film horor, saya termasuk yang penakut. Serem bo, apalagi kalau terbayang-bayang malemnya n bikin ga berani ke kamar mandi sendirian, hueeee!!!!

Sejauh ini se film horor bule masih bisa ditolerir, kalau film horor kita?? ampun deh, biar dikata dibayar juga saya ga mo nonton, makasih, yang lain ajah!
Hikss, tapi karena sekarang banyak film horor bule yang udah agak-agak dipengaruhi horor Asia, saya jadi senewen mikirin mo nontonnya, hikss, the messenger itu juga serem, mana pake efek sound yang ngagetin, bikin kuping sakit plus saya duduk di sebelah cowok latah, halaaaah, makin menderita d.

One missed call? hikss, iya deh, saya nonton

Are they gay???

Hi hi, kontroversial ga ne judulnya? ^_^

Jadi ceritanya ne, kemarin saya putuskan nonton (lagi) The Nanny Diaries. Setelah sebelumnya ga ada minat untuk nonton film itu, abis gemana dong, kayanya ceritanya predictible gituh, dan ternyata i was right, emang average banget lah.

Nah, mengingat genre film ini yang drama romantis gitu, kayanya ga bakalan banyak orang yang lihat, dan emang se, tunjungan XXI kasih tempat di studio 4 yang kecil, sama tempatnya buat nonton cloverfield kemarin (hmm, jadi tambahan note nih, kalau mainnya di studio 4, bisa jadi emang filmnya ga terlalu bagus). Saya juga mikir palingan yang nonton cewe2, and guess what i was right again. Paling ada satu dua cowok yang nonton bareng ceweknya (dipaksa kali yee hi hi)
And to my surprise, lha ternyata pada saat film hampir mulai kok ada 2 cowok masuk, duduk di sebelah saya. Hmm, penampakan se normal-normal aja tuh. Tapi saya sudah mulai mikir, emang menarik ya film beginian buat para cowo?

Semuanya berjalan normal hingga akhirnya si pemeran Harvard Hottie, Chris Evans muncul. Lha kok mereka jadi histeria gitu? Lah yah?? kan harusnya saya yang heboh, hikss, kalah deh.
Lalu pas ada adegan ciuman antara kedua pemain, keduanya ikutan heboh. Haiyaaaaah, tanda-tanda apakah itu???

Yo wes lah, urusan masing-masing. Yang jelas saya happy banget pas keluar bioskop masih jam 9 malam, tapi ternyataaaaa....busnya luama, dan sampai rumah sudah jam 10.45 malam! hikss.
Gara-gara nunggu bus lama, akhirnya saya pakai angkot udah gitu di depan PT Kalimas mandeg gara-gara kehabisan bensin! Gubraks!! Please deh, lha wong ngangkot kok kehabisan bensin???
Tapi, ga bisa disalahin juga, harga bensin makin mahal dan penumpang angkot makin berkurang, salah siapa coba??
Back to mogok, saya jadi kebat-kebit pas si sopir angkot cuma mengisikan satu botol plastik bekas air mineral (1.5 liter kalau saya ga salah), haiyaaaaah emang motor bisa diisi 1 liter doang??? Jadinya saya berharap-harap cemas semoga itu angkot bisa nyampe tujuan saya sebelum mogok lagi.

Alhamdulillah, saya berhasil sampai dengan selamat. And you know, ga ada becak! Hiksss lagi, jadilah saya melenggang jalan, dengan bawaan berat sisa pulkam paginya. Dan karena saya pikir masih sekitar jam 10-an, saya tenang-tenang aja jalan lewat Tanjung Pandan yang sepi jali itu, alhamdulillah sampai rumah dengan selamat, dan langsung shock pas lihat jam, hikss sama aja boong dong, hueeeeeeeeee!

Sayangnya cinta dan pekerjaan bukanlah hal yang bisa dilakukan bersamaan dalam keluarga X, dapatkah Annie meraih keduanya? dan apakah dia berhasil menemukan jati dirinya?

Comments:

Saya sebenernya males lihat film ini, secara gitu lho, sekilas aja sudah ketahuan ini film bagaimana jalan ceritanya. Tapi kok ya ternyata saya masih tergoda juga untuk datang ke bioskop dan nonton. See, watchaholic ternyata ada lho, saya buktinya, ho ho ho.
Cerita The Nanny Diaries flat banget, mudah ditebak, dan ga ada gregetnya just like what i've tought before ^_^. Udah gitu pas nonton kepala pemainnya banyak yang terpenggal, filmnya emang gitu atau petugas bioskopnya yang ga becus? Halah.
Intinya, biasa buanget nih film, kalau ga ada kerjaan dan duit melimpah sok atuh nonton

Fun facts:
  • Ketika Annie dan ibunya sedang memindahkan barang-barang Annie sebelum perjalanannya ke New York, sebuah kotak merah dipindahkan dua kali
  • ketika Harvard Hottie membacakan surat dari Mrs X untuk Annie, apa yang dibacanya tidak sesuai dengan isi surat
  • Ketika Annie mengajak Grayer untuk bermain di rumah anak lain dan mereka bermain mendekorasi kue, Annie terkena icing kue pink di depan bajunya. Pada adegan berikut di rumah Lynette, noda pink itu sudah berubah tempatnya.

Cinema is my hideaway

Setiap orang memiliki cara tersendiri dalam menghadapi berbagai masalah dalam hidupnya. Bagi mereka yang memiliki hobby, hal-hal yang tidak mengenakkan dapat dengan segera terlupakan. Seperti alm Sophan Sopiaan yang mengatakan, "HD singkatan healing device." karena beliau sangat menggemari motor gede.
Hobby bisa jadi hal yang dapat menyembuhkan lara dan duka, seringkali juga dapat mencuri sebagian besar kehidupan kita ^_^

Hobby saya melihat film, dari dulu sebenarnya sudah suka, tapi saya tidak pernah sadar hingga beberapa tahun belakangan. Saya masih ingat pertama kali saya nonton sendirian, waktu itu saya masih SMP, dan saya ingat banget saat itu saya patah hati. Ho ho, umur berapa saya lupa, kalau ga salah emang SMP se, dan patah hatinya dengan cinta pertama saya hi hi hi, begitu suntuknya saya saat itu, lalu saya coba untuk masuk ke bioskop dan mencari film yang kira-kira enak untuk dilihat. Sampai saat itu saya belum pernah nonton sendirian, dan pilihan filmnya masih berkisar film anak-anak atau film keluarga. Waktu itu film pilihan saya Fair Game, yang main Cindy Crawford dan Stephen Baldwin, film dewasa pertama saya ho ho ho. Dan ketika keluar dari gedung bioskop, i felt so much better ^_^

Sejak saat itu, setiap kali saya merasa tidak enak hati (which is very frequent lately) saya selalu datang ke gedung bioskop, nonton film, apapun deh filmnya boleh drama, action, ataupun horor. Any kind deh, asal jangan film Indonesia ya. Maaf, bukan bermaksud menjelek-jelekkan. Terus terang aja saya ga begitu suka nonton film Indonesia, habis berasa nonton sinetron seh, jadinya ya males. Sejauh ini film Indonesia yang bagus (menurut saya lho) Janji Joni, Gie, berbagi suami, arisan, dan Denias. Selain itu, ga begitu suka.
Satu-satunya film Indonesia yang saya tonton di bioskop cuma Ada Apa Dengan Cinta, itupun karena penasaran dengan booming-nya ^_^, yang lainnya lihat di TV dong hue he he he he ga modal hi hi.

Dan setelah bikin blog ini, saya makin rajin deh nonton hi hi, menyenangkan seh
