I read the reviews, they said this movie about blogging and cooking, thus who love blogging and cooking, will love this movie. Blogging–am addicted (even i’m not everyday blogger), cooking–woot–not really my hobby, but sometimes i cooked for my family, especially my kids ‘cos they rarely complained. But I DO love cooking show. I adores Jamie Oliver, Nigella Lawson (she’s great, isn’t she?? She makes full fat food and she’s soo happy being not skinny)…
So, I watched it. Not same with my imagination. The cooking scenes not too much, especially desert. Me, as a sweet tooth waiting for delicious-drooling-make-chocolate-something. But there was only choc pie, and choc cake. Well I realised that movie is not a cooking show. So….little bit boring for me, but I DO love Julia Child character (Meryl Streep is gorgeous, as always) even i’m not sure why she hate Julie Powell. And I like Eric Powell reaction when he ate his wife’s food. He really appreciate her.
Am craving for bruschetta afterward.

I saw it today, the guinea pigs weren’t so nasty as i thought before. The weirdest thing here is Speckles, a mole who got pig-nose. This movie is quite funny, but I slept ’bout 5-10min in the middle of the show.

I saw this movie last weekend. It’s sooooo funny. Vegas no doubt is a sin city. And this movie really show it. And I like the plot. Unpredictable. We thought the story was complicated and little bit scary. But it was really simple one. Talked about this guys wanna do Bachelor Party at Vegas, the crazy night became gross after they all woke up, because they really forgot ’bout what happen last night, plus their groom was dissapear….
If you wanna see the guilt pleasure of Vegas, please watch this movie. I heart Vegas…

Here are the movies that I saw recently:
1. UP
www.movies.about.com
Luv it…luv it…very funny…. and gorgeous colors….. The beginning part was very touchy. The happy couple grown up in marriage until the wife passed away, where the saddest part were, then the old husband, Mr. Frederickson became grumpy, egoist man. The boyscout, Russel, who offer to company the old people, got refused couple times, ’till he accidentally flew with ballons, as Mr. F wanted to travel tried to find waterfall paradise. They became friend at the end.
2. GI Joe
Urgghh bad movies. Actually I came 30minutes late, but I thought, the movie still awful. Destroyed everything, special soldiers who little bit stupid, who wore too heavy uniform. The movie was not good as the trailer.
__wanna upload the image, but bad connection__
3. Land of the Lost
UUrgghhh, another bad movies. Bad story, bad theme….and don’t like Will Farrell. There were funny screen that I laugh till my tears burst. When the mosquito bite Farrell neck and exploded, leaving huge, giant red breakout at the back. Silly.
4. The Proposal
Ahhh…at last, I found my new fave. The boss who just fired someone, will deportated by the US Government, ask her assistant to marry her to save her life. Sandra Bullock, awesome as usual, really clicked with Ryan Reynolds, the one who was annoying as a Deadpool in Wolverine. From the story, its very simple yet cliche ending, but who need the serious one when you’re on the day 2 of fasting month?? You have to see…you have to see…

Transformers 2 Revenge of the Fallen
Yes, The Autobot and Decepticon were here. We watched last month. The first day of the show. And we got the last row means very close to the screen. Urgh…hate it. But I already promise my kids to watch that day. I even couldn’t see clear the movie.
My review: my fave still the Transformes I. The robots were too much variations. And where were the other Autobots when Optimus Prime fought with Blackout, Starscream and Megatron at the wood? And lots of unimportant scene that only showed the Mikaela sexiness. Yes, she’s hot. But looked too old for Sam.
ICE AGE 3
Funny, but not too funny. We saw in 3D. Love 3D.
PUBLIC ENEMIES
I like the settings, the casts….especially Cottilard. She’s sooo beautiful..in classic way. Johnny Depp as John Dillinger, a bank robber who really trust and loyal with the friendship. We know that Depp is really character actor. His appearance balanced with the cold detective Purvis, casted by Bale. Unhappy ending.

I loooooveeeee this movie. I love the scenery, the spanish accent, the music…..
The story is about two girls (Vicky and Cristina) who spent their summer holiday in Barcelona. They got involved with an artist-painter, who then ask them to join him, spend the weekend at Oviedo. The painter, who still in love with his ex-wife, whose brutally beautiful, was slept with Vicky (Rebecca Hall), the upcoming bride and he also got relationship with Cristina (Scarlett Johansson). Then Maria Elena (Penelope Cruz-she won Academy Award in this movie) came back in his life. Simply movie by Woody Allen.
Am not big fan of Penelope Cruz, but here, her accent was incredible and cute as well. She’s very good in this role. So sexy and wild. Javier Bardem as Juan Antonio seem too old as the painter.

Boring, rather than fun. But if you interest in history, this is the way you got knowledge without being pushed. And you will find Einstein, Lincoln, Roosevelt, quite interesting… Look at three cupid angels…so cute.
And this time, we went to the cinema with our mom, our brother and sisters, our kids, nieces and nephew, so there were 12 of us. So happy today, HAPPY THURSDAY!!

I almost forgot to share the movies I already saw last time. We went to cinemas around 2-3 times a month. We’re not movie addict, we just see the movie that had our fave actors/actress, fun and easy movie, animation movie, and special for me, feminist movie 
. We also buy VCD/DVD to enjoy it at home, but rarely watch them because too much distraction, my kiddos, sleepy time… and I really like to see the film in a whole time, because if I paused it somewhere, chapter this, chapter that, then I must’ve forget someday. This is why I like to go to cinema.
OK, let me remember my movies list:
Lonely Heart. Starred by John travolta, Salma Hayek and Jared Leto, released couple years ago, and just ordinary movie. Based on true story, about murderous couple worked together to get the money. And because the jealousy wife, all of the plan was failed and their life ended in electric chair. I really hate “electric chair” idea, and saw it make me trembled. Maybe this is the reason why I didn’t like the film. John Travolta always looked OK, so was Salma Hayek, fit enough as a bitchy woman.
Monster VS Alien. Whoaaa, love the animation but not too interest with the story. We watched in 3D. Really like and enjoy the laughter. Especially B.O.B the blue jelly monster. Poor Susan, bride-to-be who becoming a giant monster… then her fiance refused her, make her strong and working together with others monster (Insectosaurs, Dr. Cockroach and the Missing Link) to destroyed the alien.
Wolverine. Love it..love it. I didn’t see the prequel movies. And when my friend ask me to see this movie, me just shook my head. But my kiddos came home with the piracy edition, Yes, the one that been downloaded from internet, yes, the one that still had raw animation from the computer, yes, the one that Hugh Jackman had been angry with, and yes my kids watched it over and over again (because they really love superheroes and this movie will be released in next month). And as a mom, company them, made me curious ’bout the unfinished animation, so when the movie play in the cinema, we brought kiddos to see too. Cool movie….. Hugh Jackman, well don’t have to say more. But, my favourite here is Sabretooth and Wade Wilson, not his big-moouth but his sword action. So, watch them, go!!
The Reader. A must-see movie. I watched it with my BFF. Long movie and little bit boring. But the story is awesome. Unpredictable. I always love the old-time setting. Around 1950s. Hanna Schmitz (Kate Winslet) had relationship with teenager, who smart and always read for her. The boy who urged for pleasure, trade the making love time with reading one book. The mid age woman really love being read, then suddenly she walked away from his life. He met her again soon at the court, when she judged for murdered hundreds people. And her life ended in prison. She accepted the punishment without doubt, although her friends were betrayed her. Here the sad story, the boy, who keep invicible from her just realised the his then old lover were not able to read. This is why she always asked him to read story for her, why she was been betrayed because she couldn’t read. So, the boy (who is old now, starred by Ralph Fiennes) send her cassettes, with his voice, reading the stories that they enjoyed last time together. So she then could read by herself. And you better see the movie ending by yourself. Touchy, heart breaking and hillarious too. No wonder Winslet got the Award this time. She’s just awesome.
OK.
At cinema now:
Angels and Demons–wanna see this, but too serious.
Night at The Museum 2–wanna take my kids
Crank–As a fans of Jason Statham, really wanna see this, but I already didn’t like the poster yet. ‘Bout high voltage???? pllleeaseee….
Now, I’m waiting for:
Transformer 2 Revenge of the Fallen
Star Trek
Terminator Salvation
Setelah keluar DVDnya, hampir setiap hari diputar terus sama Vito. Kita udah nonton di bioskop. Dan terus terang, walau settingnya bagus banget, nontonnya agak-agak ngantuk. Tapi setelah ikutan (mau engga mau) nonton terus di rumah, makin penasaran sama bukunya. Sebetulnya Novel Laskar Pelangi udah ada di rumah dari bulan Oktober (udah telat juga sih), hadiah ulang tahun dari adikku, hanya belum sempat baca, keburu baca yang lain. Gara-gara nonton terus, jadi pengen baca novelnya. Eh ternyata, di novel emang beda. Selain lebih detail, sudut pandangpun jadi bergeser.
Cerita di novel sedemikian kuat karakternya, bacanya bisa sampai senyum-senyum sendiri. Dan memang Andrea Hirata bisa membuat kita hanyut. Dengan bahasanya yang lugas, kita seakan akan berada di sekolah Muhammadiyah Gantong dengan dikelilingi Ikal, Lintang dan kedelapan temannya yang lain.
Tokoh yang paling saya senangi dalam film ini adalah Lintang, seorang anak pesisir berayahkan nelayan yang buta huruf, yang mempunyai semangat belajar yang amat tinggi. Walaupun kondisi ekonominya yang amat sangat terbatas. Kejeniusannya membuat teman-temannya tertular semangat belajar yang tinggi. Cita-citanya meneruskan sekolah kandas di tengah jalan karena sang ayah tidak pernah pulang ke rumah, hilang ditelan ganasnya ombak. Pada scene ini, saya selalu menitikkan air mata, padahal nontonnya setiap hari. Ironis sekali hidup si Lintang ini. Ia harus membesarkan ketiga adik perempuannya (karena sang Ibu memang diceritakan sudah meninggal lama). Walau sedikit berbeda dengan versi novel, tapi adegan di film benar-benar membuat kita semua harus bersyukur.
Buat yang belum nonton, film ini benar-benar harus ditonton, dan buat yang belum baca novelnya, coba disempetin deh.

The Curious Case of Benjamin Button
Since the movie was on Golden Globe nomination, I really curious too. Finally not long after the Golden Globe Awards event, the movie arrived here with another movie like The Wrestler and Slumdog Millionare.
The story was about the life of man named Benjamin Button that was born in old human condition. Yes, he born as baby but with 80 years condition like wrinkled skin and grey haired. Plus the catarrac eyes.
Growing bigger, his physic becaming younger and healthier then voila, here’s comes Mr. Pitt. And you know, the girls in the cinema really waiting for him, when he showed up, they like say “aaahhhh…….” (becaouse he really appear in almost after one hour play)
The movie is very long and little bit boring. Too much conversation. But the picture is really beautiful. We don’t have to say much about Mr. Pitt, but his partner here, Cate Blanchett is absolutely stunning. From young till old, she is really beautiful. Her flowing, her move….
The end was very sad. This is one of the movie that I recommend, but please save your time and keep focus. Even the plot is slow, please just enjoy the screen.
