movie: kambing jantan


Movie: Kambing Jantan
Directed by: Rudy Soejarwo
Starring: Radhitya Dika

Score: 2.0 of 5.0


I finished reading the book exactly a couple of days before I watched the movie. I like the book, although I'm not really crazy about the writing style he used. I think it's funny, honest and mad! I have to admit that Radhitya Dika make people like me feel small and worthless. I feel that my own blog has not value whatsoever!

Anyway, like I said, the book is very honest, but unfortunately the movie is not. It's funny, but not the same way the book presents its comedy. The movie is more slapstick and overdone. I know that the script of the movie wasn't entirely based on one book, but partly from several of his books.

movie: marley and me


Movie: Marley and Me
Directed by: David Frenkel
Starring: Jennifer Aniston, Owen Wilson, Eric Dane

Score: 2.5 of 5.0


John Grogan was reporter who just got married and moved to Florida with his wife, Jenny. One night, Jenny mentioned about baby, John decided to give her a puppy as a gift. The dog, named after the great Bob Marley, turned out to be an untamed force of nature. Despite the uneasiness Marley caused, the Grogan loves their dog no matter what. Marley even became John's inspiration when he was asked to be a columnist.

The movie received many mixed reviews. Some said that the book tells a better story (which made me a bit curious about it), but I think it's pretty funny. Jennifer Aniston is lovely as always. Although it's kind of difficult to watch Aniston and Wilson having 3 children and the oldest one is at least a sixth grader. It's like watching Jodie Foster in The Nim's Island. Well, I survive the same torture, mainly because the dogs that played Marley are so cute.

the return

Yay! I finally return to CCF! Last Monday was my first class. The not so good news is I have to start all over (I KNOW!). My plan to make la professeur think I'm too good for her class did not go well, so I guess I have to stay then. But it's okay, this time is going to be different. I'm planning to take French more serious and hopefully next year, I can start writing a novel (OR NOT!). Well, maybe a little tiny memo or email.

Anyway, this is my self-introductory, short and frenchy.

Salut! Je m'appelle Alex. Je suis un emploie. J'habite à Pluit et je travaille à Sentul. Oui, c'est très loin, mais c'est bien pour moi. J'apprends le français parce que je veux parler bien français. J'aime beaucoup le film et le musique français. J'adore Patrick Bruel, Marion Cotillard, Audrey Tatou et Juliette Binoche. Un jour, je voudrais visiter Paris. HEHEHE. C'est tout!

Au revoir.

sabtu, film dan bleki

Hari Minggu dan hari ini gue bangun tepat 23 menit lewat dari pukul 7, yang mana artinya gue telat banget buat ikutan ibadah pagi. HUHUHU. Jadinya, gue harus ikutan ibadah sore nanti. Jujur sih, gue lebih suka ibadah pagi yah, mungkin karena ibadah pagi itu gak padat banget dan semuanya tampak rapi banget (kecuali gue mungkin, pernah sekali cuma ganti celana doang langsung mabur deh ke gereja).

Sabtu kemarin, gue sendirian aja tanpa janji dan kencan. Gue memutuskan untuk ngunjungi Emporium Mall Pluit, yang jauhnya sekitar 15 menit dari rumah gue (sebenarnya ini relatif ya?! Kalo perginya jalan kaki, terus mata ditutup mungkin nyampe-nya bisa seharian, karena nyasar dulu ke Bikini Bottom alias got pluit! :D).

Rencana awalnya sih pengen sarapan, nonton film dan makan siang di Emporium. Tapi karena gue bangunnya kesiangan lagi, gue terpaksa lewatin deh tuh sarapan, dan memutuskan untuk nonton Marley and Me ama Seven Pounds.



Kedua film ini sama sadis-nya. Kedua-duanya berakhir dengan kematian. Gue sempat nangis pas nonton Marley. Mungkin karena mengingatkan gue akan Bleki, anjing tercinta gue. Gue akhir-akhir ini jarang banget ketemu Bleki. Mungkin karena gue berangkat kerja pagi banget dan pulang sering malam (ngeluyuran setelah ngantor, bukan karena lembur pastinya! HEHEHEHE). Kayaknya terakhir gue ketemu Bleki pas dia lagi tidur di depan kamar gue beberapa hari yang lalu dan karena gaya tidurnya yang gak wajar, gue foto deh dan hasilnya di bawah ini.



Usia Bleki sebagai seorang anjing sebenarnya sudah tuir banget. Doi pernah beberapa kali epilepsi terus udah mulai suka lupa arah. Gak heran, kalo si Bleki pengen berpetualangan di sekitar komplek rumah gue, sebelum dia keluar pintu pagar, pembokat gue dengan bersemangat akan teriak, "Kiri Bleki! Kiri! Bleki, kiri!" dan benaran aja si Bleki nge-belok ke kiri.

Pernah satu kali, si Bleki keluar aja, tanpa aba-aba apa-apa. Alhasilnya, dia gak pulang 3 hari dan karena kakak gue cinta banget ama poodle hitam dekil ini, warga satu rumah turun ke jalan keliling komplek nyari dia. Huks, kasian emang si Bleki!

Bleki ama gue dulu dekat banget. Dia selalu jadi tempat curhat gue. Waktu gue lagi kebingungan nyusun skripsi atau grogi pas mau sidang, Bleki jadi tempat langganan gue untuk curhat. Termasuk ketika gue putus cinta, Bleki gak pernah absen untuk jadi tempat gue untuk bercerita, nangis dan ngiler bareng.

Huks, pendeknya, gue kangen Bleki!!!!

NB: masa gue ketiduran 15menitan pas nonton Seven Pounds?! Gila, 30ribu, Alex! 30ribu!!
