Knight and Day Promotional Poster

Main cast: Tom Cruise as Roy Miller, Cameron Diaz as June Havens
Genre: Comedy, Romance, Action (srsly. it IS a comedy)

Miller (Cruise) is a secret agent who goes on a blind date with unlucky-in-love June Havens (Diaz), and ends up pulling her into a serious yet comedic journey to protect a powerful battery that holds the key to an infinite power source. (blitzmegaplex.com)

Just watched this movie yesterday :) My mom asked whether we want to see something or not, and when I checked the movie’s site, there’s this one, so we decided to see this. Beside, the main cast is Tom Cruise, and I’ve seen him played in Valkyrie (Colonel Claus von Stauffenberg sure is cool XD).

So after bought the popcorn and the lemon tea, we got into the studio. Got a nice seat there.

The movie started with airport scene when Miller and June met for the first time. Nothing’s interesting here, until near the climax. I mean, I love the gun shooting, chase in the highway scenes and so on, but it was ordinary, james-bond like until the story twisted in the middle. It’s comedic, yet thrilling and makes you couldn’t hold back a smile while watching their action.

There’re some interesting points in this film, particularly when you see the character of Miller against the character of June. And what interested me, things that seems to be unimportant weren’t just left behind. They have role too in the end. It’s great though, since some films did missed some details. Also don’t miss the twist that was kind of surprising.

And to be honest, I haven’t found any mistakes in this film. It’s witty, the comedy within action occurred so naturally due to the personality of each character (oh, that was so me :P ), the thrilling sensation of gun shooting, Persistent and constant personality of each character, and nice, light storyline. Although it’s a bit out of character when June started to move on her own, it’s not that bad. I mean, she could be like that too. And it’s been constantly shown from the beginning of the film.

Overall, I love this :D Although I have to admit that it didn’t impress me that much after the film ended, it’s good, you have to see it :D

Rate: 7.8/10

A Little Update..

It’s been a long time since I updated this blog :lol: I’m kinda lazy actually..

Dari pertengahan bulan ini, gw udah keracunan Kuroshitsuji! >.< Gile, ni manga/anime satu keren banget. Konyol dengan cara yang serius :rofl:. Lagi ngejar anime-nya sih gw. Katanya bentar lagi tamat, jadi siap-siap duit 30k buat nitip 1 disc ini anime konyol. wakakak!
Secara garis besar, ini ceritanya:

-The Black Butler-

-The Black Butler-

To what extent must a housekeeper do things to be acceptable?

One of the noble families of England: Phantomhive’s butler: Sebastian Michaelis has got unquestionably perfect knowledge, manners, talent with materials, martial arts, et cetera: but is also able to serve a 12 year old master.
Wearing a grey tailcoat, gracefully brewing the worlds strongest red tea, please read on to see how such a perfect butler copes with such a master…

Yah bacalah, ada pun dan intelligent-joke di dalam /gg *dan entah kenapa lagu yang terus-terusan disetel ma gw itu lagu ED2nya, Lacrimosa*

Second, gw juga lagi suka sama 07 Ghost. Beda dari Kuroshitsuji yang sebenernya cerita berat dan serius yang dibikin konyol, 07 Ghost itu cerita berat, agak gothic, religius *a’la anime*,  dan super TRAGIS yang diselipin humor. Animenya keluar April ini. Keliatannya bakal bagus juga :D
Ini summary-nya

-Teito Klein, 07 ghost-

-Teito Klein, 07 ghost-

An elite is being trained. The “zaiphon” ability is being developed. Everyone’s capabilities are different, and in many cases, reflect their nature… Shrouded in darkness, seven ghosts wait.

Yah, 07 ghost itu istilah di dalem manganya. Mereka itu semacem.. 7 archangel lah kira-kira. keren loh, cuma, peringatan buat  yang baca, manga ini mengandung unsur agama, terutama Katolik yang kuat.. you’ve been warned :)

Dan seperti biasa, ada list anime yang lagi gw incer. Kebanyakan anime lama sih, tapi yaa.. gpp kan? :P

  1. Gankutsuou – Le Comte de Monte Cristo/The Count of Monte Cristo versi Jepang
  2. The Sky Crawler – Lagi dipang DLin, tapi kayanya bakal lama banget :( (
  3. Ergo Proxy – baru inget lagi gw pengen nonton ini anime. parah ya? :lol:
  4. Kuroshitsuji – sudah disebutkan di atas. haha
  5. Kara no Kyoukai – The Garden of Sinners.. kayanya rame sih, nunggu sampe 7 movie ada semua deh :P
  6. Ghost in the Shell 2nd Gig – Tinggal ngejar yang ini sama beberapa biji lagi neh :(

Paling segitu.. apa lagi ya??

Oh iya, kmaren ini baru nonton Eagle Eye di bioskop. Rame! Beneran rame ini mah, gak bo’ong. Sayang sekali waktu gw nonton ada cewek-cewek sialan orang-orang di depan gw, 3 baris, ribuuuttt terus. Sebel deh.
Genrenya Action, Thriller, Sci-fi. Jalan cerita agak bokep berat seperti biasa. Trus, yang paling gw suka, karena AI (Artificial Intelligence) nya itu loh. Gaya ^^
Summary, seperti biasa:
Jerry Shaw is an amiable slacker with an over-achieving twin brother. After his twin dies in an accident, strange things happen to Jerry at a dizzying pace: a fortune shows up in his bank account, weapons are delivered to his flat, and a voice on his cell phone tells him the police are on their way. Jerry follows the voice’s instructions, and soon he and a woman he’s never met are racing through the city, on to a plane, and eventually to the Pentagon, chased by the FBI. She is Rachel Holloman, a single mom; the voice has threatened her son’s death if she doesn’t cooperate. The voice seems to know everything.
rame loohh :P
Target berikutnya: Dragonball Evolution

UAS – Twilight

I want talking about Movies.

There are three movies which are the best for me. Two of them are from the same series.

______________________

1. Ghost in the Shell-Stand Alone Complex-Solid State Society

This movie of Ghost in the Shell win the first place in my heart, because the story and the artwork. The artwork is GREAT yeah~

Ghost in the shell

Well. the story itself, I still can’t understand the ‘main story’ and the ‘ending’ So, I can’t tell you about it. But one thing I’m sure about, the story is HEAVY. you need to think hardly while watching this film. THAT’S WHY I love it. I understand the story in glance. but noot deeply~

*Recomended*

Rate: 9 starts (from five~)

2. Ghost in the Shell2- Innocence

Although this movie is categorized as ‘old’ I’ve just watch it a few days ago. Innocence is Another film from Mamoru Oshii, Director / screenwriter of all Ghost in the Shell series.

Innocence, is mostly talk about humanity, dolls, and dogs (wonder why dogs) . One of my favorite quotes is this:

“If the dolls could speak, No doubt they’d scream, “I didn’t want to become human…”

and, the wallpaper I have, said this:

“When machines learn to feel, who decides what is human?”

GitS 2
-Locus Solus-

this film is so great!

*Recomended!*

Rate: 9/5 XD

The third movies is Golden Compass, but I will talk about it in the next post~
