There was Timeline on TV earlier today. You know, that movie starring a young Paul Walker and also a young Gerard Butler and a young Anna Friel and a young David Thewlis based on Michael Crichton's novel. Watching that, I was inspired to finally start watching Outlander, the TV series based on Diana Gabaldon's books. And... I'm sure you guess where ( Read more... )

Today I went to one of the more interesting events I've been to in Jakarta for a while: the Star Trek Exhibition at Gandaria City ( Read more... )

I come bearing a huge update. With pictures! (Though not as picspam-y as I want it to be ( Read more... )

WHOA.

KIRK/SPOCK.

What is Uhura when you can have a marvelous Kirk/Spock bromance in the screen?

OK, getting serious now. Here are my initial reactions to Star Trek Into Darkness. Remember, this is not a full review, so I might change my mind later about some stuff. I really do think I need to watch it a second time, because at the end of the ( Read more... )

The weekend is here! (Or, more precisely, it has been here since yesterday. Haha.)

I kicked off the weekend by watching the Norwegian film, Kon-Tiki, at Blitz Megaplex. It's a great movie (kind of like the 'science-y' version of Life Of Pi) where the men all looked like hipster adventurers. These Scandinavian actors still looked like models even ( Read more... )

Remember this Daniel Radcliffe interview from TFI a long, long time ago when I was still a fledgling movie journalist?

Well, now I finally had the chance to do another one like that, except this time it's for Benedict Cumberbatch and Star Trek Into Darkness.

This week's MoMA lecture has got to be one of the most depressing things I've ever learned in history. The topic is Giacometti and Postwar Europe. As the title suggests, we discussed the art scene in Europe, after the World War II. In other words, this topic is the counterpart of last week's topic of the New York school. But if that one was about ( Read more... )

I went to watch The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey again with at_midnight at IMAX.

Sadly, we didn't get the 9-minute preview of Star Trek Into Darkness although the official IMAX website had listed our IMAX theater as one of the theaters that would be showing it. Later after the movie, my friend and I went to ask the cinema manager about why this happened ( ( Read more... )

Slowly one by one my article to-do list is becoming shorter and shorter... but today I might have to sacrifice work again in order to go to yet another screening of The Hobbit. I just look at the transcripts that I have to do and I want to cry. Nobody's helping me with it because everyone in the team also still has something to do, so I'm really ( Read more... )

After French film screenings for the whole weekend and Monday, and yesterday's LOTR marathon, I was finally back in the office today. Or should I say, I was finally back in front of a computer today. I had been remiss in my blogging at Livejournal and Tweeting, even, because there were just too many things to do in the last four days. And at last, ( Read more... )
