Pengalaman lebaran with family

Sebuah post singkat untuk temen-temen semua. Saya cuma mau ngucapin :

SELAMAT HARI RAYA IDUL FITRI 1430 H

Minal aidin wal faidzin, mohon maaf lahir dan batin yaa.

Dari tahun ke tahun, biasanya saya dan keluarga besar Soedarto melakukan hal yang disebut Mudik, like most people do. Tahun lalu, Mudik 2008, The Soedarto's berkumpul di Yogyakarta. Terus nonton film LASKAR PELANGI bareng-bareng.

Mau tau berapa orang? 23 ORANG!!! Yup! Kita ber-23 nonton bareng di bioskop. WOW! kesempatan yang langka banget. Itu aja masih belum komplit, masih ada yang gak ikutan. Sekarang kalo mau ngumpulin orang-orangnya lagi dijamin pasti susah banget. Udah pada sibuk sendiri-sendiri. Yang jelas, kita 'The Soedarto's" selalu memanfaatkan momen-momen untuk mengumpulkan semuanya.. :)

UP
Cast (Voice) : Edward Anser, Christopher Plummer

This is one of my anticipated movie in 2009. It finally released and I watch it twice. Haha. Once again, Pixar gave their animation movie. I'm sure most of you have watched this movie, but I'll tell you about the story.

Fredrikssen was very obsessed to travel into Angels Falls in South America, influenced by his traveler idol on his childhood. Finally he and his friend *that's become his wife in future* starts to make it true. But until they were old, until death separated them, it's not came true. Finally, he became a single fighter to make it true. On the process, he met Russel, a boy from some scouts. Russel have to collect some pins to make some preferment on his scouts. All he has to do is help some old people on their activities. Fredrikssen reject it first, but because of necessity he asked for find an imaginary-animal around his house. When people from old folk's home came to Fred's house, Fred was escape (with his house also). He escaped with a fly ballons-house. He wanted to make his dream came true, going to Angels Falls. But, unfortunately him, Russel was join his flight. So, both of them make some adventure together. How was the adventure? Did Fred can make his wish come true? Just watch it, UP!

I enjoyed this movie a lot. Especially the soundtrack (Does anybody know what's the title of the song? Huhu. I want it!) I have no words to say about this movie, this movie is 'CAW CAW RAWR!!!' My rate 4 of 5 stars.

Pocong Jalan Blora

POCONG JALAN BLORA
Cast : Arumi Bachsin, Garneta, Monique Henry

Have you seen Indonesian horror movie with word-started 'Pocong' such as Pocong 2, The Real Pocong, Pocong 3, etc. Well, itu sama sekali gak ada hubungannya dengan film ini. Film ini *katanya* adalah sebuah urban legend tentang pocong di Jalan Blora (hhmmm.. I never heard this place before, have you? Daerah mana yaa?) Dan kalo mau dibandingin dengan film-film pocong lainnya, film ini (sorry to say) bukan tandingannya. So if in the poster says, "Scariest horror movie in year", I'm sorry (again), I disagree. Saya pribadi gak punya shocking moment selama nonton film ini. :)

Cerita film ini adalah sekelompok mahasiswa ingin membuktikan tentang sebuah urban legend tentang pocong tanpa kepala di Jalan Blora. Dan akhirnya mereka berjumpalah dengan sosok yang mereka cari. Ternyata setelah pulang ke rumah masing-masing, mereka malah diteror oleh sosok hantu. Bahkan salah satu temen mereka, hilang tanpa jejak di kontrakannya sampe kontrakannya diisi sama orang lain karena kelamaan kosong. Eh, si pengontrak baru ternyata ikut diteror juga. Okay, what exactly happen to them? Gimana endingnya? Kalo penasaran, yaa silakan ke bioskop dan tonton film ini.

Kayaknya kasian juga kalau harus ngejudge film ini abis-abisan, paling gak I have to appreciate their work. Karena di satu sisi, saya juga belum tentu bisa bikin film. Apalagi sampe ditayangin di bioskop. I appreciate them for that. Mungkin masih ada missed di beberapa bagian di film ini, I hope they can do much better and in future they can make a better movie and won't stuck in horror genre. But I'm so sorry I just give 1.5 of 5 stars. Better in future yaa. :)

Kata Maaf Terakhir

KATA MAAF TERAKHIR
Cast : Maia Estianty, Tio Pakusadewo, Rachel Amanda, Ade Surya Akbar, Kinaryosih

Indonesian drama movie is back! Ya mungkin genre yang satu ini emang sudah cukup sering di Indonesia, tapi menurut saya yang benar-benar drama tuh masih jarang. Kadang-kadang diselipin humor, yang gak jarang malah mengurangi sense of drama dari film itu. Dan film ini pure drama. With no soundtrack (eh ada satu dink pas ending), gak membuat film ini gak worth to watch. Ditambah dengan akting pemainnya yang pas, dengan extra ovation for Tio Pakusadewo dan Rachel Amanda. They've been so total here. I really like their act here.

Ceritanya sendiri tentang keluarga broken home. Darma (Pakusadewo) yang meninggalkan keluarganya karena wanita lain (Kinaryosih), meninggalkan istrinya (Maia) dan kedua anaknya, Reza(Ade) dan Lara(Amanda). Tapi diceritakan, hidup Darma gak lama lagi. Akhirnya dia bikin last wishlist yang harus dia penuhi sebelum dia meninggal, salah satunya adalah mendapatkan maaf terakhir dari istrinya dan kedua anaknya. Well, gimana kelanjutannya? Nonton aja Kata Maaf Terakhir.

Sebelumnya sorry to all blog-reader, sebenernya I have watched this movie since last week, tapi post-nya baru sekarang. Well, saya nonton film ini pas hari pertama pemutaran di bioskop. Masih agak sepi penontonnya, bukan masalah sepinya yang mau saya bahas, tapi karena sepi so I can see people's face yang mukanya udah pada berair gara-gara nangis. Saya pribadi, mata uda berkaca-kaca mau nangis. Tapi saya gak bisa ngeluarin air mata. Haha. Kenapa pada nangis? Ya karena film ini emang sedih banget, apalagi akting Amanda yang 2 thumbs up! Congratulations! Over all, I can give 3.5 of 5 stars.


*Well, some of my post won't be post in English, especially for Indonesian Movie. Thanx. :)

Keramat (Sacred)

KERAMAT (SACRED)
Cast : Poppy Sovia, Migi Parahita, dll

It's an Indonesian Horror Movie. I guest this just such an ordinary horror and ordinary movie. But, what did I get? From the story telling, it's not just an ordinary movie. Why? Because this movie, I can say (Behind The Scene of) Keramat The Movie. Hahaha. Well let me tell you.

There was a group who wants to make a movie in Yogyakarta. So after that, the director, co-director, 2 movie stars, and also the behind the scene team goes to Yogyakarta for prepare all things about the movie. But unfortunately, their present to Yogyakarta are not welcome by 'people' there. Problem by problem are changing come to them. What are the problems? What is the cause of all the problem just watch Keramat (Sacred).

Well, I said there was the behind the scene team with one camera person named Cungkring. And all scenes of Keramat, in this movie, are took by Cungkring's shoots on his camera. Confused? So do I. You have to watch it by yourself to understand what I mean. Actually I have a little problem about story telling to others. I'm afraid that people can't understand what do I mean. Okay, just watch it. A few things that I like from this movie is about the sacred of Java itself. I really like that part. About something the we can do or we can't do in a new place that we come to, about manner of us in a new place, etc. And over all, I can give 2,5 of 5 stars.
