Movie Review : Man of Steel

Yes, finally we watched although we weren't so excited on watching it but why not. I saw few of my friend's statuses said that the movie is just alright so I really have no expectation. Honestly, this movie is a way too long, like super long and I yawned more than 5 times throughout the movie. I don't know how to describe this movie, it is not awesome but not bad as well. The actions are good though but it's just a way too long. I think I'm going to give 6,5/10 but I won't be bother to watch it twice.

Herny Cavill did a good acting and looking very stunning, totally charming and definitely portrays Clarke Kent. Well, personally, I'm Iron Man's and Batman's movie fans and this movie is not even half as awesome as both of those. It's like just watching Spiderman and Captain America's kinds which I'm not a big fan of, And Mr. Gwumpieh also said the same thing to me, the movie is just alright but not awesome. I guess it's just too draggy, too long and it really made you bored although there are lots of actions yet the actions didn't trigger your sleepy eyes nor get your full attentions. 

This is my two cents and I have to agree with most of my friends who said the movie is just "okay, nice but not wow". But of course, amongst others Superman's movie, this one is , indeed, the best ones :)

Saturday Love!

Traveling, Working and Having Holiday is just the thing I really love and hope to be doing at the moment or in the future. It gives such more relaxation even rather than just working only although it's tiring. So for this client, we have to travel to Puncak which is around 2.5 hours away from Jakarta. The place has nothing much to offer except chilly weather and that's what we needed nowadays. We went right away from the photo-shoot in Friday to Puncak for Saturday's photo-shoot and arrived there at 11pm which basically means we didn't capture anything. 

But anyway, early in the morning Me, Gwumpieh and Ferdinand was just having a quick look around the area and we felt so good! Uploaded the photos we shot at nearby area as well and now, I feel like going back there again for refreshing but if there's work in between then it's also alright and oh also we 're going to pick Hobun, the bunny. 

 

Sean's Birthday Party

There's an extra joy that I felt whenever I captured kids' birthday party. Each birthday party brings so much joy in me especially when it have nice decorations and humble family. I love those moments when the kids were being silly, funny entertainer (like no faking it, just funny), then added with lively environment. I understand the importance of 1st year birthday party, the glamours, the feeling of being proud but it's really different when a family just want the party to be memorable by inviting the closest ones and sometimes, the family who live far away even came. And one more thing I really love, the expressions of the grandpa(s) and grandma (s) especially when one of them is playing with the grandchildren, their smile and faces are just too priceless. About this party, I really love the theme (Noah) and the cake is just indescribably cute! Anyway, these are just random photos taken from the party and couldn't wait to upload more photos. and finally, although we were so tired from the journey but we did well!

Movie Reviews

I'm really enjoying the moments where after we work, we pampered ourself although by means we had to spend lots of penny. Although we would ended up "we spent a lot", but I realized it kinda like unleashed the stress inside of you, those tiredness were just gone for some period of time. And in this week, we have watched two movies in a row ; After Earth was yesterday and Yamla Pagla Deewana 2 is today. YPD2 is just out in this Friday, so we decided to give it a go but this time bringing our marketing along with us which he seemed to enjoy the movie as it was his first time watched Bollywood movie in cinema. 

I was insisted mr. Gwumpieh to watch this movie yesterday, was just a way too eager and I know lots of people around me were so excited on watching this movie. So there were we, watched the movie right on the first row in the front and 30 minutes passed but there was no change of the movie flow. Will and Jaden teamed up and everyone must be expecting something wow but it will ended with a woe! 

The whole minutes were total flopped, boring and felt it wasn't worth of my 100 minutes. A total waste of money that even watching in DVD isn't worth it and don't let your curiousity kills because it's really horrible! A rating of 1.5/10 and you could see how bored those people who came out from the cinema's auditorium were. Throughout the movie, I was hoping there would be few minutes of highlight in the movie so it won't be that horrible but well, oh well, none! Remember, don't bother to waste your time, everyone else's giving bad reviews too not just me :)

I have always curious on watching this movie, don't know why. Maybe because I really love one of their songs from the previous ones, "Charha De Rang". Both of us were waiting for this movie but not with so much excitement like YJKD! 

Mr. Gwumpieh didn't really like it but me and our marketing were enjoying though. YAMLA PAGLA DEEWANA and CINTA MATA KARO words would be repeating in your mind after this movie! For me, I like the movie but not bother to watch for the 2nd time yet still want to watch the first ones. The movie is entertaining although too draggy at the end but, not that horrible. I have no high expectation for this movie but this movie is like how I would had imagined, full of stupidity with no strong storyline, just enough to put a smile in your face for quite some time. I rated 6.5/10 although it is not awesome but, it is not bad. Average but at least Happy made me happy LOL! :)

Movie Review : Hangover, Yeh Jaawani Hai Deewani

Maybe I'm one out of several people around me who are not that excited when The Hangover comes but curious enough to know how the ends would be! And Bradley cooper is just a duplicate of Patrick Dempsey and couldn't take my eyes off of him. Overall, I give 5.5/10 for two reasons : 1st, everything is just too over "trying to be silly but its more like eh?", and secondly, it entertains you enough but it doesn't want to make you laugh for long. It's entertaining to see with your mates, kill your time but do lower your expectations. Mr. Chow is not becoming funny anymore and I guess this last sequel is more into action drama comedy kinds , mixed here and there. Funny but not hilarious with lots of "overacting". I guess if you watched them for the first time, you would like it, but if you had been following them, you'd be disappointed. I like the 2nd ones better :)

OMG! the studio in two places were totally full and we were sitting right in the first row! felt like we were just watching 3D! Everyone is so looking forward for this movie that on its first day, this movie had such a grand opening and position even we were waiting for it too! Disappointed? Nope apart from it's quite long 2.5 hours but at least, it didn't get you bored. Yeh Jawaani Hai Deewani is very entertaining movie that will make you keep smiling all the way for the next 2 hours while the last 30 minutes would be "awwww". We rated 7,5/10 for this movie with such a simple storyline and upbringing. Lately, everyone is just trying to make a simple movie to look awesome but not Karan Johar. I don't know what to say except "entertaining" enough from the beginning - the end especially the upbeat songs. 

India, I miss you!

I think, everyone (majority) has an obsession of the country/city they feel like "home" other than their own country/city. As for me, it has always been India and for 14 years, I've no idea why am I really attached with their music, movie, food and culture. 4th August 2011 was the first time I landed my feet to this dream country of mine and it was Bangalore but not until I arrived at New Delhi where I felt so safe and have returned home. Maybe it was the feeling of where the old dream is finally granted and gotten the chance to live in Delhi for 2 months. Living in India was surely great experience and so much lessons I learnt that made me better now. It was two months living even with problems yet I could still felt the peaceful soul in me, felt like just everything will be alright. Tough but somehow, I was really happy. Personally, I have to admit, living in India for holiday is really good but not for working or future. 

See these three Taj Mahal's version was taken on Mr. Gwumpieh's birthday on the 12th September where he took me there. I won't forgot on suddenly he was ironing his clothes at night and got me wondered where would he be going. He didn't tell everything but he asked me weird question like "did you charge your camera's battery?" We woke up super early in the morning and took a bath with such a cold water and throughout more than 4 hours journey, I kept looking here and there, felt like to stop in some cities we passed and took some pictures! An amazing journey it was for me, for him and on the way back to Delhi, we found this new built temple with a combination architecture of Hindu's temple and Mosque (it's so beautiful inside!)

When I saw this photo on my computer, I really felt like I've captured one of the best Taj Mahal's pictures and so proud of it - showing off indeed. I mean really, isn't this so beautiful and after 2 years, someone wanted to use this image and buy it for me. It would even be more awesome if tons of people buying it so I can go back and take another pictures of Taj Mahal #yey!
