1408


Adapted from the terrifying short story by suspense master, Stephen King. Renowned horror novelist Mike Enslin (John Cusack) believes only in what he can see with his own two eyes. But after a string of bestsellers discrediting paranormal events in the most infamous haunted houses and graveyards around the world, he has no real proof of life…afterlife. But Enslin’s phantom-free run of long and lonely nights is about to change forever when he checks into suite 1408 of the notorious Dolphin Hotel for his latest project, “Ten Nights in Haunted Hotel Rooms.” Defying the warnings of the hotel manager (Samuel L Jackson), the author is the first person in years to stay in the reputedly haunted room. Another bestseller may be imminent, but like all Stephen King heroes, first he must go from skeptic to true believer – and ultimately survive the night.

Overall menurut gw film ini ngga terlalu horor, ngga terlalu menarik. Standar lah... John Cusack emang lebih cocok main di film drama romantis atau komedi romantis daripada horor, dan Samuel L Jackson lebih poll maen film action. Sepertinya ide dasar film ini bersifat twisted dan sick, tapi kok jatuhnya jadi agak maksa ya? Ceritanya ngga kuat, ga cukup "sakit" untuk jadi twisted movie. Gw masih lebih prefer "Hide and Seek" atau "Silence of The Lamb" atau "Omen" untuk kategori film twisted horror dibandingin film ini.

Udah deh, bang Cusack. Maen film komedi romantis lagi ajaa.. Dijamin pasti keren deh! Hehehehe...

Painted Veil


A couple with a broken relationship learns some valuable lessons about love, life, and sacrifice in this romantic drama based on a novel by W. Somerset Maugham. It's 1925, and Dr. Walter Fane (Edward Norton) is a physician and bacteriologist who has become smitten with Kitty (Naomi Watts), the beautiful daughter of a wealthy and socially prominent family. Walter proposes marriage to Kitty and she accepts; however, while he clearly loves her, Kitty is more interested in her reputation than Walter's feelings, as she's recently turned 25, an age by which most of her peers have already wed. Kitty and Walter move to Shanghai, where he sets up a practice and she takes a lover, the British Vice Consul Charles Townsend (Liev Schreiber). When Walter learns of his wife's infidelity, he becomes furious, and impulsively volunteers to travel to China to work in a village stricken with a major cholera epidemic. While Walter's actions are meant to punish Kitty rather than reflect his own benevolence, the daily trials of living in a community in crisis have a striking impact on the couple, giving them a new and deeper perspective on their relationship. The Painted Veil is the third screen adaptation of Maugham's best-selling novel of the same name; a 1934 version starred Greta Garbo and Herbert Marshall, while Eleanor Parker and Bill Travers played the leads in a 1957 remake titled The Seventh Sin. ~ Mark Deming, All Movie Guide

I LOVE NAOMI WATTS !!! Ditambah lagi ada kabar kalo do'i mau ikutan main di film HP 6 jadi Narcissa Malfoy, wuihh... makin seneng deh ni hati ^__^
Film cinta ini ber-setting thn 1920-an, dimana seorang bacteriologist bernama Walter ditugaskan ke China untuk meneliti virus penyebab mewabahnya penyakit kolera disana yang udah makan ribuan jiwa. Sang bacteriologist jatuh cinta dengan si cantik Kitty & melamar Kitty. Kitty - gadis cerdas yang blm pernah dan belum perlu merasa jatuh cinta dengan seseorang - dengan mengejutkan menerima lamaran Walter walau do'i ga cinta sama Walter. Semua itu dia lakukan supaya dia bisa lepas dari jeratan tirani ibunya [karena dia tau Walter akan ditugaskan ke China]. Di China, Kitty selingkuh dengan cowo lain & ketauan sama Walter. Akhirnya Walter merencanakan get even ke Kitty dengan membawa dia ke daerah pelosok China yang jauh banget dari peradaban, sengaja ngebuat Kitty tersiksa disana.
Tapiiii, justru dari situ Kitty sadar kalau suaminya ini adalah lelaki yang paling baik didunia!!!

Kenapa bisa gituh?
:) Watch it, then...

Forcibly Becoming...


Haruskah aku menjadi palsu?
Saat asli tidak lagi dihargai, maka palsu menjadi senjataku
Aku sedang memasang topengku sekarang
Cantik... Terbuat dari porselen

Dan akankah mereka mencintaiku?
Akankah mereka akan berhenti berbisik-bisik dibelakangku?
Akankah mereka menerimaku menjadi bagian dari mereka?

Baiklah.. Kalian menang!!
Aku telah memasang topeng palsuku
Inilah aku sekarang, tapi yang palsu... mohon diingat itu
Sedihnya aku harus mengalah pada ular berbuntut dan berlidah bercabang seperti kalian
Tapi inilah nyatanya... aku telah manjadi palsu, demi diriku, terutama demi kalian

Puas sekarang?!

I give up, i'll follow ur game now, shitty doofuses!!!

Anathema



She's no longer can differentiate
The darkest truth from the whitest lies
From an oath she's been taken
That will bound her until she dies
She made an unforgiven mistake
Neither she noticed nor she realized

And now she's crawling under your mercy
Her creaky breath is chanting like the sound of death
Creating a dreadful yet astounding misery
That will linger forever in her memory
She is crying with blood streaming
Asking you hopelessly to revoke your curse over her

And she's the angel broke her wings
She's the Goddess lost her mightiness
She's the fairy missed her magic wand
She's the human disappeared her soul
A dark bride with a broken vow
A night queen wearing a crashed crown

She wanders with your eyes, your heart and your mind
She's alive, though so empty inside
You strive her in solely darkness
Until she goes blind and none of her senses left
When the time comes in the coldness of the night
Her remaining shadows will beg your kindness to end her life

Will you let her been chased with her own death?
Playing around in the never ending labyrinth?
Like a little girl playing cheerfully under the rain
The meets her doom in the hand of furious thunderstorm
Her disaffected love be your long-lasted trauma
Ever since, your spell makes her the Lady of Anathema

Flickering Star



The sky goes black every time I close my eyes
Such a defective silent attacks me in disguise
Cold winter cloud touches my skin
It washes away all my embracing sins
One yellowish little star is blinking
He smiles, he waves and now he's calling
I wanna reach him with these decaying hands
Down here on earth and ask him to dance
And he will spark and I will glow
Keep the trace of passion that grow
A passion that once ever be a brokenhearted
That met her end before it even get started
My life has been a misery for too long
Warm smile of mine long has been gone
Empty is my soul, death is my dream
Hope to disappear along this cracking wind
And he is the falling star, my lucky charm
Hopping once or twice in the grip of my arm
He's the light through the dark
Spreads his wings and flies like a white lark
He came to me with divining motions
He entered me who welcomed him with no resistance
I'm longing for him, reaching my hands in the air
Mourning his lights to fill me in despair
My love, my flickering little star
Stay with me, never get too far

Harry Potter and The Deathly Hallows


Finally, the last sequel of Harry Potter [Indonesia-translated] has been released in January 14, midnight in all official bookstores all over the country. I myself got the book in the morning straightly after the Gramedia Kelapa Gading Mall was open.

It's about the time when The Chosen One; Harry Potter starts his journey to destroy all 4 remaining Horcruxes of Lord Voldermort so he can seize the possibility to kill Voldemort - who is so close to get what people call immortality life because of his 7 Horcruxes [will be eight with his own entity], there are Tom Riddle's diary [Which has been destroyed by Harry in the Chamber of Secret in his second grade at Hogwarts], Marvolo Gaunt's Slytherin ring [already been destroyed too by Albus Dumbledore, but with sacrificing his right hand], Slytherin's necklace, Helga Hufflepuff's trophy, Rowena Ravenclaw's diadem, Nagini [Voldemort's snake]
and half of Harry Potter's life.

Harry - accompanied by Ron and Hermione - doesn't go back to Hogwarts anymore. He makes some travels to some places such as Godric Hollow [His house where his parents had lived. And later it also discovered the old tale about the three Hallows that can beat death]. The the three fellas continue their journey to Forest of Dean, Xeno Lovegood's house, Malfoy's house, Bill & Fleur's cottage, Gringotts until they go to Hogwarts to find another Horcrux based on what Harry saw in her mind which is connected with Voldemort's.

The battle in Hogwarts is unbearable. Many lives been sacked to death, including the people Harry loves so much: Mad-Eye Moody, Hedwig [Harry's owl], Fred Weasley, Nymphadora Tonks, Remus Lupin, Dobby [Hogwarts' elf] and Colin Creevy. One shocking moment is where Voldemort kills Snape in order to take control of the Elder Wand [Voldemort thinks The Elder Wand is belong to Snape, when the fact is that wand is belong to Harry himself because he had beat Malfoy - the former master of Elder Wand]. In dying condition, Snape gives his memories to Harry, and that is the time when Harry finally realizes who Severus Snape really is. Snape never cheat on Dumbledore, that he remains loyal to him even until he dead.

When Voldemort gives Harry one-hour time to think, Harry realizes that he shouldn't sacrifice any more innocent life, he should be the one who fight Voldemort. He himself, not Ron, not even Hermione or the Order of the Phoenix or Dumbledore's Army. So he - silently - goes to forbidden forest to face Voldemort. Before they meet, Harry opened the snitch that Dumbledore had inherited to him and he saw his mom, dad, Lupin & Sirius came out from the Resurrection Stone and encouraged him. Feel a bit secure, he walks himself to Voldemort

And Voldemort kills him with Avada Kedavra curse, but strangely... Harry wasn't die. Why's that so?

Hmmm... I can't tell you more for I know I will throw the surprising thing out from you. So you'd better got to the bookstore and get one for yourself... NOW!!! lol

Goddess


This sorrowed life I failed to embrace
brought me tears I endlessly wept
the dying thirst for love grew
as I dreamt of a goddess
she weaved my bluish veins
and gathered the pieces of my flesh
my heart now beats again
my eyes now wide awaken
but I craved for her more in every moment
My sight filled with her face
the face I once sought to kiss
her skin was pale like the moon
and cold like my blood
her hair was black like death
and soft like an angel's veil
and in my breath I felt her warmth
impossible to resist
undoubtedly inevitable
Yet slowly I am still dreaming
drowned with my sinful pleasures
but beneath this shadow lies you
my beautiful, tormenting my innocence
when will you lay your hands on me
and take away my sufferings
because if there was a death of a god
will there not be a goddess
to save me again from falling

Whispers

My deathless sorrow gives me life
Yet inside I am empty and blind
But winter came like silent whispers
And gave me soul that is unbroken
Winter brought its majestic queen
Forever I am bounded to her love
I chained my will to her desires
Like a frail heart in heaven's arms
Like a dying wish in an angel's breath
Tonight she arrives in my dreams
With her pale face and embracing arms
Bringing dark kisses and death lullabies
Bringing hope and immortality
This void I am shackled to
Is inevitable and eternal
But her shadows clouded my soul
And saved me from my sorrow
And freed me from my curse
This cruel world is filled with such lies
Discontenting and dishonest and much despised
I fail to cease the monolith of sufferings
And in the end I lie in its confusion
But her divine silhouette kept me safe
From the vileness of this tyrannous place
Because home is nowhere to be found
And my sanctuary lies in her
And in her I find a goddess's comfort
