Movies Marathon Date

This weekend is a movie date with my handsome son.  Because it will be two movies in two days, so we can call it a movie marathon date, yihaaa...

Begin with "Madre" a coffee table book launching at Gramedia Bookstore in Matraman a week before, where all the writer, the producer and the casts were coming.  Where the mommy can not stop screaming everytime Vino G Bastian moved, hahahaaaa... Vinooooo...  And the mommy asked the son to take her picture during the book signing session, and it turn to be fiuuuhh...  Never mind, as long as I got signatures of all casts and the writer on my "Madre" book, plus a cheek to cheek kiss with Vino G Bastion.

We watch the movie "Madre" first, based on the novelet from (again) Dee. The stroy is about the bread, a bread store, with a love story in between.  Starring Vino G Bastian, Laura Basuki and Didi Petet.  I think this is the first Indonesian movie which take a food as a theme.  This time, I read the book first, then watch the movie.  Found out some differences, but it turn to be a good one.  I like both version, the book and the movie.

The next day, we watch "Tampan Tailor".  Don't have a clue about this movie, except some review described how good Vino's acting was.  Oh yes, the movie starring by Vino G Bastian with his beautiful wife Marsha Timothy and the new young comer Jefan Nathanio.  The movie is about a father who struggle from job to job, for her son's sake.  It a sad movie inspired from a real story but as always turn to be an happy ending.  By watching it with Def, I hope he learn how hard his parents are to work for a living.

The movie, "Madre" and "Tampan Tailor", with Vino G Bastian in it as the actor, both are launched together on 28 March 2013.  Both are the movies I never regret to watch it.  Congrats, Vino!  I will be your number one fan!

The SAGA Finale

This is a movie which I late to fall in love with.

As a mommy, you can count how many times I went to the cinema for a movie.  I believe the same also happen to some mommies in this part of the world, unless they have a 24 hours nanny to baby sit your kids without worry or thinking about anything at all. 

So, when everyone in this world talking about this movie, I think I was the only one who said "What??? Twilight what??  SAGA what??"  I don't understand a bit of it, I don't even care, at all.  Until one night, when my kids were already sleep safely in bed and all domestic things were done, I want to reward myself by watching the television.  Yes, my ME TIME is as simple as watching the teve...  Then I found this movie in a local channel, it's about a girl who just move in to a new school and trying to adapt with her new schoolmates.  Oh how I always love this kinda movie, new girl on the block meet the most handsome boy in the school. The next thing I know was I can not stop watching it, usually I will get boring if I watch a film not from the first scene.  But not with this movie.  I couldn't stop watching it until it finish.

When the movie end, I found out that the title is "TWILIGHT"

The big O come from my mouth, Oh now, I know why everybody were talking about this. 

The Twilight Saga was first release in the USA on 2008, and I just watch it in my bedroom on 2012.  Where I was been on the last 4 years?? Oh yes, I'm taking care of Daffa and only watch Spongebob and The Simpsons.  Remember when last holiday I visit my brother's house at Yogya?  When I looked at his bookshelves, I hold my breath when I found these super thick Twilight's books!  Oh my God, my sister in law have the Twilight's books, complete, since 2008!  I want to read it, but I was afraid it will ruin my view about the movies.  I decided to borrow them later after the series finish.

Anyway, I fall in love with this movie right away.  I love this movie.  I can not choose between Edward and Jacob #eehh.  The love story between Edward - Bella - Jacob is so romantic.

I end up finish the TWILIGHT series  (Twilight, New Moon, Eclipse and Breaking Dawn part 1) on DVDs.  But for the TIWILIGHT SAGA finale, it's not worth it to watch it thru the DVD.  The Twilight : Breaking Dawn part 2 is finally release on 16 November 2012 on all over the world.  Eventhough I don't watch it at day 1, at least I watch it a week after (pls note, attention, not 4 years after anymore baby).

I watch the movie by myself, and I have to wait for almost 5 hours until I get the seat.  All seats at all showa are full already!  So here I am, together with all the Cullen's fans, hold my breath and watch the movie until the end.

So this is another movie which based on novels, that I love it without reading its books first.  I love the ending.  I love the whole series. I love Edward's lips, Bella's cheek and Jacob's eyes.

Well, Goodbye Twilight.













Perahu Kertas - Bagian 2

After Perahu Kertas, unpatiently I wait for the part 2.  Again, I watched with Def.

 

It was as good as the first part.  A GOOD ONE!!

I cried couple of times, for the good and the bad part of Kugy - Keenan - Luhde - Remi.  Then I become more in love with Kugy and Keenan.  Become their number one fans.

By the time the movie launched at the cinema, I already finished read the book.  So yes I did compare the movie with the book.  But for me, I love them both!  The ending is even great!  Hi, Neptune, thank you for sending your two agents to the earth...

Update:  I watched the movie for the second time a week later. 

This time, I watched the movie by my self...  So dunno what the plan before, but suddenly my husband stop the car in front of Metropole 21 and asked me to get off.  Oh okay, I know what's the plan now.  I got off the car in a hurry and left the two confuse kiddos behind hahahaaaaa... According to my husband, Def dunno where will I going, while Qisha cried a lot, but then she can get over it.

The feeling is still the same.  The feeling is still there.

Karena hanya bersamamu segalanya terasa dekat, segala sesuatunya ada, segala sesuatunya benar.  Aku gak mau... sepuluh, dua puluh tahun lagi aku sakit kaya gini setiap aku ingat kamu - Kugy - Perahu Kertas 2

Saya cinta, selalu cinta, dan akan terus cinta sama kamu.  Kugy Karmachameleon, saya cinta kamu sejak pertama kali kita ketemu - Keenan - Perahu Kertas 2

Aku melepas kamu supaya kamu gak terus-terusan buat bahagiain aku.  Karena...hati kamu udah gak di sini - Remi - Perahu Kertas 2



Keenan sudah pernah ada saja sudah cukup.  Ikuti saja kata hati kamu.  Kemanapun itu.  Hati tidak bisa bohong - Luhde - Perahu Kertas 2

Perahu Kertas

Actually, Dee is not one of my favorite writer.  In fact, I never read her books before.  Dee adalah nama populernya sbg penulis, nama populernya sbg penyanyi adalah Dewi Lestari.  Bareng dgn teman2nya, dia bikin grup nyanyi, namanya RSD alias Rida Sita Dewi.  Tapi belakangan dia ngeluarin album solo juga.  Baik itu secara group ataupun secara solo, lagu2nya enak2 didengerin, mostly I like her songs.

Entah kenapa, pas lagi liat2 tweet2 di socmed, ketemulah dgn account-nya Dewi Lestari ini.  Diliat2 tnyata tweet2nya lucu2, then count me in as one of her follower.  Then she launched her new movie, Perahu Kertas, base on her book with the same title.  I'm not interesting to watch it at the first time, I think it will be the same romantic movie as other Indonesian movie.  Because of many people commented about this movie on her twitter, I begin curious about this.

So, I watch this movie, Perahu Kertas, with my son, Def, a week after the premiere.  This is not the first movie - which base on a novel - that I watch without rading its book first (let say the serries of Harry Potter and Twilight Saga).  Because usually when it comes to our Indonesian movies, I fall in love with the books first, then more interesting to watch its movie (let say for Laskar Pelangi, Ayat-Ayat Cinta, and The Firm).

And you know how my reaction after the movie over?? Hurry up to Gramedia downstair in MKG2, to buy the book and the soundtrack's CD.  Yes, the movie is so cool!!  Once again, COOL!! I fall in love with their character for the first sight, Kugy and Keenan.  I fall in love with Adipati, the actor who play as Keenan.  I fall in love with Dee, thanks to her for creating such a wonderful book and movie (she made the movie scenario by the way). The movie is so romantic, so funny, so sad.  The third Indonesian movie that can make me cry.  I can't forget the quot in some of their dialogues.  Such a beautiful words.

The movie is separate into two parts.  They alredy shot for one part and it took 4,5 hours film, so the producer and director agreed to separate it into two parts.  That's also another reason for me to right away read the book as soon as I arrived at home.  I want to know the ending hahahaaa... And after I read the book completely in 3 days (blame it the kids who always bother me everytime I started to read).  Oh I can't wait for the second part of movie! October, please come hurry! For me, the book is good to read, the movie even better, but the soundtrack is the best.

Update: I watch the movie, for the second time 4 days later and still love it!  And this Lebaran holiday was officially open and close by watching this Perahu Kertas the movie.  Yay!

Laskar Pelangi.... Finally

Mulanya, aku gak tertarik baca buku ini. Udah beberapa kali buku ini aku lewatin begitu aja di jejeran buku2 di Gramedia. Kebetulan juga saat itu aku masih penasaran sama buku Ketika Cinta Bertasbih. Sempet sih denger2 dan baca di koran yg ngebahas mengenai buku ini, tapi gak tertarik membacanya lebih lanut, cuma header nya aja. Trus setelah Ketika Cinta Bertasbih tamat dibaca, mulai deh cari2 bacaan lagi. Justru di saat yg sama seorang teman sekantor cerita bahwa dia baru aja menamatkan buku Laskar Pelangi dan akan beralih ke buku Ketika Cinta Bertasbih. Teman tsb malahan sudah menamatkan ketiga buku olahan Andrea Hirata tsb. Trus aku tanya, bagus gak sih bukunya, cuman satu kata yg dia jawab, "lucu". Maka muncullah niat utk membeli buku tsb. Kebetulan lagi seorang teman sekantor yg lain, baru aja membeli buku LP yg bajakannya, setengah harga dari yg di toko buku, dan iseng2 aku minta nitip beliin. Dan tuh orang bener2 beliin buku LP bajakannya. Bener aja, pas aku baca bukunya, ternyata aku gak bisa berhenti ngebacanya. Rasa kantuk pun udah gak berasa sama sekali, maunya tuh nerusin baca buku ini sampai selesai. Aku tuh rasanya seperti menyatu dengan kesepuluh anak2 LP ini, terasa berada di alam mereka. Dan akhirnya.... ketika aku menamatkan buku ini, aku menyesal kenapa aku beli bukunya yang bajakan... :P Sekaligus nyesel kenapa baru sekarang aku baca buku ini.

Buku lanjutannya pun, Sang Pemimpi, juga Edensor akhirnya aku beli yg asli. Kebetulan di saat yg sama, sedang ada audisi pencarian pemain LP. Wah... udah niat banget utk jadi penonton filmnya yang baris paling depan di loket tiket nih. Aku pun aja si Bapak dan si Daffa untuk ikutan nonton. Bapak ternyata mengakui kehebatan film ini, tapi Daffa sama sekali gak peduli, dia malahan lari2an di antara tangga kursi penonton. Nonton pun akhirnya gak konsen. Jadi hari Seninnya, pas cuti Lebaran dari kantor, nonton lagi deh nih film, sendirian. Ternyata masih ada aja gangguannya, dua orang ibu2 yg gak berhenti2nya ngomong nem=bak2 sendiri isi film. Males bagned ngedengernya... Niatin lagi deh mo nonton yg ketiga kalinya.

Bukunya bagus banged. Filmya... biarpun ada yg menyimpang dari bukunya, tapi secara keseluruhan bagus banged. Awalnya aku sempet protes kenapa ada cerita2 yg gak ada sama sekali di buku, kok di filmnya jadi ada, juga kenapa adegan yg seharusnya dibahas abis tapi ternyata cuma sekedar aja. Toh akhirnya aku bisa mentolerasi, gak apa2 lah, toh gak menyimpang banget dari isi bukunya. Pada dasarnya, buku dan film kan adalah dua media yg berbeda.

Ayat-Ayat Cinta

Bagus banget...... This is my first time watching Indonesian movie in a cinema, and I cried.... five times... whuaaaaa.....

Nonton bioskop pertamaku

Akhirnya, inilah film pertama yg Daffa tonton di bioskop. Sebetulnya sih ini flim favorite emaknya waktu SMP gituh… The Simspsons Movie. Waktu SMP tuh Ibu gak pernah lewat nonton nih film di RCTI. Biarpun banyak orang bilang film ini gak mendidik, karena kasar dan jail banged, tapi Ibu gak peduli tuh, teteup aja demen. Buktinya, biarpun tuh film udah gak tayang lagi di tv, teteup aja beli pernak2nya the simpsons buat si Def, kek baju & asesoriesnya.

Def sih gak minta nonton di bioskop. Tapi pas Ibu tau nih film lagi tayang di Gading XXI, langsung bikin rencana ngajak si Def nonton. Def sih gak minta nonton di bioskop. Tapi pas Ibu tau nih film lagi tayang di Gading XXI, langsung bikin rencana ngajak si Def nonton.

Qta tuh sampai di Gading XXI pukul 6 sore, sementara tuh film mulainya pukul 18.10, sementara lagi antriannya sudah lumayan panjang. Jadi Ibu yg antri deg2an juga takut gak kebagian tiket. Tapi pas pintu aba2 “pintu teater 2 telah dibuka…blablabla” Ibu dapet tiketnya. Daffa tuh sebetulnya gak ngerti apa yg mo qta lakuin, tapi dia excited banged! Dia sok2an gituh masuk ke dalam teater 2 tanpa permisi sama mbak-nya. Pas masuk ke dalam baru deh dia terperangah dan bergumam, “Ibu, banyak banged orangnya…” sambil matanya gak lepas dari layar bioskop yg bikin dia terpesona saking gedenya dan bikin si Def nabrak deretan kursi2, dubrak! Pas duduk pun, dia masih terperangah oleh cahaya lampu yg datang dari tembok belakang paling atas, sambil teriak, “Bu, disana ada lampu tuh….”. Trus dia rada kaget & terpesona lagi pas di layar muncul intro Dolby Stereo plues suaranya yg stereo gotuh. Tapi pas mulai muncul tulisan judul The Simpsons Movie terang benderang baru deh dia mulai enjoy. Sempet sih si Def bisikin ke Ibu, “Daffa takut… tivinya gede banged…” Hehehehe…. Tapi setelahnya selama film berlangsung (bentar banged cuman 1,5 jam), si Def gak rewel tuh, dia asyik nonton sambil makan popcorn sama Bapak, sambil sebentar2 nanya, “tuh kenapa dia begitu, Bu? Itu kok mobilnya terbalik, Bu? Kenapa dia gak pake baju, Bu?” Padahal Ibu tuh berkali2 bilang jangan berisik, teteup aja dia bolak balik nanya.

The Simspons versi bioskop masih selucu versi tevenya tapi sayangnya kebandelan si Bart kurang ditonjolin sih, krn tokoh utamanya si Homer yg bikin ulah membuang limbah sembarangan. Tapi sudah cukup melepaskan kangen sama versi tevenya koq. Apalagi si Def, yg langsung besokannya ngajakin nonton bioskop lagi hehehe…. Dia kira nonton bioskop boleh sering2 kalee….

Mendadak Nonton

Berhubung si Def pergi nginep di Rancho, Ibu jd inget kalo hari ini tuh hari Senin, jd nomat dunk! Boleh juga nih dimanfaatin. Apalagi pas Ibu cek di internet, hari ini tuh ada film bagus “Pirates of the Carribian 3 : At World's End ” Pas ide cemerlang ini disampaikan ke Bapak, dia langsung menyambut dgn gembira juga tuh, DVD-nya sih udh ada di rumah tapi gambarnya gelap. Hehehe… bajakan sih! Hasilnya, pulang kantor si Bapak ngebut menuju Mall Artha Gading ngejar jam tanyang yang 18:10, cuman 30rb berdua. Pengennya sih nonton di Gading XXI lagi, tapi udah kebayang deh kudu jalan kaki dari parkiran motor yg jauh ke bioskop. Tapi ternyata bioskop di Artha Gading pun sama jauhnya tuh, ini pertama kali sih qta nonton di situ jd gak tau lokasinya. Qta sampe sana pas banget jam 18:10, seat-nya pun tinggal yg nomor tiga dari depan, mbak2 yg di loket bilang sih tempat duduknya masih agak jauh dari layar jd gak terlalu pegel. Tapi qta gak telat kok, krn filmnya dimulai jam 18.30, jd masih bisa beli popcorn dan coca cola dulu, dan masih bisa narik nafas dulu di tempat duduk sembari nyaksiin iklan film2 yg akan datang.

Filmnya bagus, lucu dan canggih. Pirates of the Carribian 1 dan 2 –nya Ibu belum nonton, tapi Bapak bilang sih hubungannya cuman sedikit, kek Spiderman gituh. Baru kali ini ngelihat Johnny Depp berakting dgn penampilan yg dekil, agak blo’on, lucu kebanci2an tapi pinter. Yg bikin Ibu kagum tuh ya ngelihat teknik komputernya, jago banget yah yg bikin. Tekniknya tuh halus banget, kek beneran, pdhl kan semuanya cuman permainan komputer. Puas deh nontonnya dan gak pegel pula biarpun duduk di depan.

Selesai nonton qta makan di Kentucky Artha Gading. Berhubung tinggal itu restoran yg buka di dalam mall tsb, itupun tinggal qta doank pengunjungnya. Sampe rumah udh capek banget, udh jam 10 malam pula, pengennya langsung bobo. Capek tapi hati puas khan gak apa2 ya. It’s worth it anyway!

Spiderman 3, then totally sick on the next day!

Weekend ini sudah disiapkan tuk nonton “Spiderman 3”. Sejak iklannya mulai beredar, Ibu tuh sudah H2C alias harap2 cemas semoga nih film tayang di bioskop sebelum Daffa pulang. Kek orang kesetanan deh waktu Selasa pagi mo ke kantor Ibu lewat bareng Bapak di depan Arion Mall, sudah terpampang poster film Spiderman 3. Langsung aja Bapak ngajak nonton pulang kantor hari itu juga, tapi Ibu tolak soale kalo malam weekdays khan jadwal tetap Ibu adlh nunggu telpon dari Daffa.

Di kantor pun, langsung tuh berita gembira Ibu umumkan ke temen2 yg kebetulan sama2 lagi nungguin tuh film. Qta cek bareng2 di internet, ternyata bukan cuman tayang di hampir semua bioskop di Jakarta, tapi di hampir semua teater di setiap bioskop di Jakarta! Weks! Segitunya sih. Dgn kata lain hampir setiap stengah jam diputar tuh film di situ, harusnya kemungkinan gak kebagian tiket kecil banged. So, Ibu mulai menyusun rencana setelah dikasih tau temen di kantor kalo temennya ada yg udh beli tiket utk besok dari minggu lalu. Jadi Ibu gak mau dunk kalo rencana Ibu gagal gara2 udh banyak orang yg udah pegang tiket dari minggu lalu. Rencananya adlh jadi orang pertama yg ngantri di depan loket bioskop hikshikshikshiks…

Jam spuluh pagi, Ibu & Bapak udh jalan ke Mall Kelapa Gading demi memburu si manusia laba-laba ini. Di Gading XXI diputar di 4 teater dari 5 teater yg tersedia. Masuk parkiran Kelapa Gading Mall sih sempet terpesona dengan areal yg sepi…. Jarang2 nih ngeliat parkiran mall kek gini. Ternyata Ibu gagal jd orang pertama yg ngantri, soale tuh para abg udah pada bejejer berombongan di depan loket. Sementara Bapak ngantri, Ibu ngeliat ke depan, liat posisi kursi yg ternyata masih banyak yg kosong. Tiba2 loket tempat Ibu berdiri dibuka sama Mbak-nya, wah ketimpa rejeki nih, Ibu bisa langsung pesan tiketnya, jadi qta cuman nunggu stengah jam sudah duduk dgn manis di depan layar lebar hehehe…

Spiderman 3, pemain intinya masih teteup sama, yg bikin beda ya jelas ceritanya dunk! Kali ini si Spiderman bisa berubah jadi sombong dan tambah kejam gara2 kemasukan zat asing dari luar angkasa (ngayal banged sih!). Tapi action-nya seru, tegang, ada komedinya juga. Gak kecewa lah.

Selesai nonton, qta makan di foodcourt. Trus beli t-shirt buat Daffa yg warna & modelnya sengaja dikembaran ama Ibu. Trus slesai dari MKG, qta ke Carrefour Cempaka Mas, dan pulang ke rumah pas jam tujuh malam.

Tapi besokannya Ibu sakit. Radang tenggorokan, kek ada yg mengganjal di sela tenggorokan, sakit & perih banged. Plues sakit kepala, kalo duduk ato berdiri langsung rasanya pusing banged. Seharian itu, Ibu gak bisa bangun dari tempat tidur, otomatis, Bapak yg nyiapin semuanya utk Ibu, termasuk beli obat dan jeruk di supermarket. Sampai hari Senin pun, Ibu tuh gak berdaya banged, akhirnya gak masuk kantor, tidur aja seharian di rumah. Untungnya Bapak ikutan gak masuk kantor, dan untungnya orang kantor gak ada yg gangguin. Sebetulnya hari Selasa pengennya gak masuk juga, krn masih pusing. Tapi Ibu inget mo ada Weekly Meeting dimana banyak dokumen yg kudu disiapin sebelumnya. Ibu kepaksa masuk kantor krn loyalitas yg tinggi ama kerjaan (ckckckckc…), tapi kok nih perut ikut2an sakit & kepengen muntah terus ya. Keknya magh-nya ikutan kambuh. Dipikir2 keknya gara2 makan di foodcourt MKG hari Sabtu stlh nonton Spiderman 3 itu Ibu gak makan nasi melainkan makan baked potatoes dan siomay. Jadi gini deh gara2 sok2an gak mau makan nasi, gak ngulang lagi deh kelakuan kek gini, tersiksa banged.
