TERMINATOR SALVATION

Semalem aku nonton film ini .... sebenernya sih gak hobby nonton film jenis begini ... tapi temenku ngajakin udah dari beberapa hari yang lalu ... jadi yah aku ngikut aja ... Gantian ...

In 2003, Dr. Serena Kogan (Helena Bonham Carter) of Cyberdyne Systems convinces death row inmate Marcus Wright (Sam Worthington) to sign his body over for medical research following his execution by lethal injection. One year later, the Skynet system is activated, perceives humans as a threat to its own existence, and eradicates much of humanity in the event known as Judgment Day (see Terminator 3: Rise of the Machines). In 2018, John Connor (Christian Bale) leads an attack by the Resistance on a Skynet base. John discovers human prisoners and the plans for the development of a new type of Terminator incorporating living tissue, but is the only apparent survivor of the attack after the base is destroyed in a nuclear explosion. However, Marcus emerges from the wreckage of the base and proceeds on foot to Los Angeles.

John returns to the Resistance headquarters on board a
nuclear submarine and tells General Ashdown (Michael Ironside) of his discovery. The Resistance has discovered a radio frequency capable of shutting down Skynet machines. They plan to launch an offensive against the Skynet base in San Francisco in four days, in response to an intercepted "kill list" indicating that Skynet plans to kill the Resistance's command staff in four days' time. John learns that his own name is second on the list, following Kyle Reese. The Resistance leaders are unaware of Kyle's importance to Skynet, but John knows that it is because Kyle will later become his father (see The Terminator). John meets with his officer Barnes (Common) and wife Kate (Bryce Dallas Howard) and sends radio broadcasts to Resistance members and surviving civilians around the world.

Arriving in the ruins of Los Angeles, Marcus is saved from a T-600 Terminator by Kyle Reese (
Anton Yelchin) and his mute companion Star (Jadagrace Berry). Kyle relates to Marcus the events of Judgment Day and the ensuing war between humans and machines. Hearing John's radio broadcast, the three leave Los Angeles in search of the Resistance. They survive an attack by machines, but Kyle, Star, and several other humans are taken prisoner, while a pair of Resistance aircraft are shot down. Marcus locates downed pilot Blair Williams (Moon Bloodgood) and they make their way to John's base, but Marcus is wounded by a land mine. Attempting to save his life, the Resistance fighters discover that he is in fact a cyborg with human organs, a mechanical endoskeleton, circuitry, and a partially artificial cerebral cortex. Marcus believes himself to be human, begging to be released so that he can save Kyle from Skynet, but John orders his destruction. However, Blair releases him and helps him to escape from the base. During the resulting pursuit Marcus saves John's life from Skynet hydrobots, and the two form an alliance—Marcus will enter Skynet's headquarters and attempt to disable its defenses so that John can rescue Kyle.

John demands that Ashdown delay the attack so that he can rescue Kyle and the other prisoners, but Ashdown refuses and relieves John of his command. However, John's soldiers remain loyal to him and he sends a radio broadcast asking the other Resistance fighters not to attack Skynet. Meanwhile, Marcus enters the Skynet base and interfaces with the computer, disabling the perimeter defenses and allowing John to infiltrate the cell block and release the human prisoners. The Resistance's disabling signal is revealed to be a ruse, and the command submarine with the resistance leaders aboard is destroyed by a Hunter-Killer.

Marcus discovers that he was created by Skynet and has unwittingly fulfilled his programmed mission to lure John into the base to be killed. He tears out the hardware linking him to Skynet and leaves to assist John in battling a T-800 Model 101 Terminator. John is mortally wounded during the fight, but succeeds in destroying the Skynet base by rigging several Terminator nuclear power cells to an explosive, detonating them as he, Marcus, Kyle, and Star are airlifted out. Kate attempts to save John's life, but his heart is too damaged. Marcus offers his heart for
transplant, sacrificing himself to save John. Recovering, John radios to the other Resistance fighters that though this battle has been won, the war is far from over.

KILLSHOT

Aku mengisi week-end kemarin ... salah satunya dengan nonton film KILLSHOT ini ....

A real estate agent and her husband become the targets of a relentless mafia hitman and his bank-robber partner. When real estate agent Carmen Colson (Diane Lane) catches a glimpse of a hitman named the Blackbird (Mickey Rourke) as he carries out a job, a subsequent request for her to testify against the aging gun for hire soon lands both Carmen and her husband, Wayne (Thomas Jane), in the Witness Protection Program. Blackbird isn't a man who likes to leave loose ends when it comes to his work, though, and now as the seasoned assassin and his psychotic partner (Joseph Gordon-Levitt) attempt to catch the couple in their crosshairs, Carmen and Wayne are going to need much more than a few federal agents to make it out of an increasingly deadly situation alive.

ANGELS & DEMONS

Gilaaaaa perjuangan banget nonton film ini ... ngantrinya panjang bener ... padahal rata2 di XXI itu sampe 2 studio loh ... tapi Alhamdulillah aku dapet juga ....

The plot follows Harvard symbologist Robert Langdon, as he tries to stop what seems to be the Illuminati, a legendary secret society, from destroying Vatican City with the newly-discovered power of antimatter.

CERN director Maximilian Kohler discovers one of the facility's most respected physicists, Leonardo Vetra, murdered in his own secured, private quarter at the facility. His chest is branded with a symbol—an ambigram of the word "Illuminati"—and his eye is dislodged. Instead of calling the police, Kohler researches the topic on the Internet and finally gains contact with Langdon, an expert on the Illuminati. Kohler requests his assistance in uncovering the murderer.

What Langdon finds at the murder scene frightens him: the symbol appears to be authentic, and the legendary secret society, long thought to be defunct, seems to have resurfaced. Kohler calls Vetra's adopted daughter Vittoria to the scene, and it is later revealed that the Illuminati has also stolen a canister containing a quarter of a gram of antimatter—an extremely dangerous substance with destructive potential comparable to a small nuclear weapon, a potential unleashed upon contact with any form of normal matter. When charged with electricity at CERN, the canister's magnetic field controls the drop of antimatter to float suspended in a high vacuum, ensuring safety; but when it was taken away from its electricity supply, it automatically switched to its back-up battery, which will only power it for 24 hours. The horrible truth is that the Illuminati has put the stolen canister somewhere in Vatican City, with a security camera in front of it as its digital clock counts down to the explosion.

Langdon and Vittoria make their way to Vatican City, where the pope has recently died, and the papal conclave has convened to elect the new pontiff. Cardinal Mortati, host of the election, discovers that the four Preferiti, cardinals who are considered to be the most likely candidates in the election, are missing. After they arrive, Langdon and Vittoria begin searching for the Preferiti in hopes that they will also find the antimatter canister in the process. Their search is assisted by Camerlengo Carlo Ventresca (the late pope's closest aide) and the Vatican's Swiss Guard, including Commander Olivetti, Captain Rocher, and Lieutenant Chartrand.

Convinced that the Illuminati are in some way responsible for the disappearance of the Preferiti, Langdon attempts to retrace the steps of the so-called "Path of Illumination", an ancient and elaborate process once used by the Illuminati as a means of induction of new members; prospective candidates for the order were required to follow a series of subtle clues left in various landmarks in and around Rome. If the candidate followed the clues properly, he would be able to locate the secret meeting place of the Illuminati and be granted membership in the order. Using his extensive knowledge of religious and occult history, Langdon sets off on the Path of Illumination in hopes of uncovering clues as to the disappearance of the Preferiti and the location of the antimatter canister.

The Path leads Langdon to four major locations in Rome (Vatican City is within the city of Rome), each associated with what the Illuminati believed to be the four primordial elements of all things in existence: Earth, Air, Fire, and Water. Upon arriving at each location, Langdon finds one of the Preferiti murdered in a fashion appropriate to the location's respective element: The first cardinal was branded with an Earth ambigram, had soil forced down his throat and was buried (Earth); the second was branded with an Air ambigram and had his lungs punctured (Air); the third was branded with a Fire ambigram and was burned alive (Fire); and the fourth was branded with a Water ambigram and was chained and left to drown at the bottom of a large fountain (Water).

After finding the bodies of the first two Preferiti (Earth and Air), Langdon hurries to the Santa Maria della Vittoria Basilica and finds the Preferiti's abductor in the act of setting the cardinal on fire. The kidnapper, who is also responsible for Leonardo Vetra's murder and the theft of the antimatter canister, is an unnamed Hassassin who is working under the orders of the Illuminati master "Janus", whose true identity is unknown. Commander Olivetti dies and Langdon is nearly killed himself in this encounter with the Hassassin, who manages to kidnap Vittoria. Langdon manages to escape and meets the Hassassin yet again at the final element's landmark (Water), but is unable to save the fourth cardinal.

Langdon nevertheless attempts to complete the Path of Illumination in order to find the Hassassin and rescue Vittoria. His search leads him to an abandoned castle-like structure with an underground tunnel leading directly into the pope's chambers in the Vatican. Langdon frees Vittoria, and together they send the Hassassin falling several hundred feet to his death. The two hurry back to St. Peter's Basilica, where they find that Kohler has arrived to confront the camerlengo in private. Langdon and Vittoria fear that Kohler is Janus, and that he has come to murder the camerlengo as the final step in his plot against the Church. Hearing the camerlengo scream in agony, the Swiss Guards burst into the room and open fire on Kohler. Just before he dies, Kohler gives Langdon a videotape that he claims will explain everything.

With time on the canister running out, the Swiss Guard begins to evacuate the Basilica. As he is exiting the church, the camerlengo apparently goes into a trance and rushes back into the Basilica, claiming that he has received a vision from God revealing the location of the antimatter canister. With Langdon and a few others in pursuit, the camerlengo ventures deep into the catacombs beneath the Basilica and finds the canister sitting atop the tomb of Saint Peter. Langdon and the camerlengo retrieve the antimatter and get in a helicopter with only five minutes to spare. The camerlengo manages to parachute safely onto the roof of St. Peter's just as the canister explodes harmlessly in the sky. Langdon's fate is not immediately known, as there was not a second parachute on board the helicopter. The crowd in St. Peter's Square look in awe as the camerlengo stands triumphantly before them. Because of this "miracle", the papal conclave debate whether exception should be made to elect the camerlengo as the new Pope. Robert Langdon survived the explosion by using a window cover from the chopper as a parachute and landed in the Tiber River near Tiber Island, which is famous for its reputation as an island blessed with miracles of healing. He is hurt, but not seriously.

Langdon returns to St. Peter's and views Kohler's tape with the College of Cardinals. Langdon, Vittoria, and the cardinals confront the camerlengo in the
Sistine Chapel, where the truth is finally revealed. Shortly before the events of the novel, the pope was scheduled to meet with Leonardo Vetra concerning his research at CERN. Vetra, a devout Catholic, believed that science was capable of establishing a link between Man and God, a belief that was manifested by his research on antimatter. Vetra's beliefs caused great discomfort to the camerlengo, who firmly believed that the Church alone, not science, should dictate the moral creed of the Christian faithful. While discussing Vetra, the pope reveals that his support is due to science having created him a miracle: a son conceived by artificial insemination. Horrified that the pope has fathered a child, the camerlengo plots to "rectify" the situation. He poisoned the pope and, under the guise of an Illuminati master (Janus), he recruited the Hassassin, a killer fueled by the same zeal and animus towards the Church as his ancestors during the Crusades, to kill Vetra, steal the antimatter, and kidnap and murder the Preferiti just as the papal conclave was set to convene. The camerlengo planted the antimatter in St. Peter's and feigned his last-minute "vision" from God in order to be seen as a hero and the savior of Christendom by those who witnessed his brave acts. The Illuminati thus had no actual role in any of the novel's events, and its "involvement" was merely a plot engineered by the camerlengo to cover his own plans. As Langdon suspected from the very beginning, the Order of the Illuminati was indeed long extinct.

As one final twist, it is revealed that Camerlengo Ventresca was the birth son of the late pope, conceived through artificial insemination. Suddenly overcome with grief and guilt at having caused so much death, especially that of his own father, Ventresca soaks himself in oil and immolates himself before a crowd of onlookers in St. Peter's Square. The conclave elects Cardinal Mortati as the new pope. In an ironic twist, through a quibble, a loophole in the papal election process known as election by acclamation, two popes were chosen: Ventresca by all the cardinals cheering his name before he lights himself on fire, and Mortati through normal means.

Langdon and Vittoria retire to the Hotel Bernini. Lieutenant Chartrand delivers a letter and package to Langdon from the new pope. The package is the "Illuminati Diamond" brand, which is loaned indefinitely to Langdon.

MANUSIA BODOH - ADA BAND

Setiap di perjalanan aku selalu mendengarkan radio G** FM ... dan tadi pagi diputer lagu MANUSIA BODOH dari ADA BAND ... lagunya sih udah lumayan lama ... pas tadi aku simak liriknya ... kok agak mirip dengan kondisiku saat ini yah ...

Dahulu terasa indah
Tak ingin lupakan
Bermesraan selalu jadi satu kenangan manis

Tiada yang salah
Hanya aku manusia bodoh
Yang biarkan semua ini permainkanku
Berulang ulang kali

Mencoba bertahan sekuat hati
Layaknya karang yang dihempas sang ombak
Jalani hidup dalam buai belaka
Serahkan cinta tulus di dalam takdir

Tak ayal tingkah lakumu
Buatku putus asa
Kadang akal sehat ini
Tak cukup membendungnya

Hanya kepedihan
Yang selalu datang menertawakanku
Engkau belahan jiwa
Tega menari indah di atas tangisanku

Semua kisah pasti ada akhir
Yang harus dilalui
Begitu juga akhir kisah ini
Yakinku indah

Tapi sampai kapankah kuharus
Menanggungnya kutukan cinta ini
Bersemayam dalam kalbu

FAST & FURIOUS

Kalo minggu lalu aku nontonnya film2 drama ... tapi minggu ini film yang aku tonton sedikit membuat aku tegang ...

Selain X-MEN aku juga nonton FAST & FURIOUS ...

After a successful run of hijacking fuel tankers in the Dominican Republic, Dominic Toretto (Vin Diesel) has become an international criminal. Under increasing pressure from the local police, Dom's partner Han (from the third film) decides to flee to Tokyo. Dom is afraid of what will happen to Letty (Michelle Rodriguez) if the authorities ever catch him and link her to him, so he sleeps with her and leaves in the middle of the night.

Some time later, Letty is found to have been shot dead in her wrecked car. Dom returns to the scene of her murder just outside of L.A. There, he discovers traces of nitromethane, which allows him to lead a personal investigation up to a certain David Park, who had purchased the nitromethane for the driver who killed Letty. Park is coerced into helping Dom get a spot in a street race, arranged by Ramon Campos, where he will supposedly find Letty's killer.

Meanwhile, Brian O'Conner (Paul Walker), now an FBI agent, is assigned to track down a notorious drug lord named Arturo Braga. Brian's investigation also leads him to David Park. He arrives at Park's apartment while Dom is still interrogating him (by holding him by his ankles outside a window). At the FBI office, Park also tells Brian that the aforementioned street race grants the winner a spot on the team that traffics heroin across the United States-Mexico border for Braga. He visits Dom's sister, Mia (Jordana Brewster), warning her to stay away from Dom, as he will eventually get caught; Mia criticizes him for his betrayal of them five years earlier and asks why he let Dominic go. Brian replies that he doesn't know, and she leaves.

With both of them having the information of the race, Dom repaints and modifies his Chevrolet Chevelle SS while Brian eventually picks a Nissan Skyline R34 from the LAPD impound lot and modifies it. Dom and Brian participate in the race. Almost at the finish line, Dom shoots ahead using nitrous. In a reference to the first film, Brian replies "Too early," and uses nitrous to get ahead of Dom. However, Dom hits Brian's bumper making him spin out, ensuring Dom's victory and contuing his quest for revenge. Having lost the race, Brian uses his position at the FBI to wrongfully arrest Dwight Mueller (Greg Cipes), another of Braga's drivers, in order to usurp Mueller's spot on the team. Ramon Campos, Braga's right hand man, invites the drivers to a party, where Dom ends up in a confrontation with a driver called Fenix, and Brian looks for signs of Braga.

The next day, the team's drivers and their cars are smuggled into Mexico to receive the heroin which they are to import across the border at night. They are to meet with Fenix en route and pass through a path of tunnels to evade the surveillance systems used to monitor the borders. Gisele, Braga's liason, gives Dom a subtle warning in the form of the Spanish phrase "vaya con Dios" After the run, Dom realizes that the drivers are routinely shot and killed after each import job, to avoid having to pay them. Letty, having been in the same situation, was the only driver to get away when they shot her team. The ensuing pursuit led to her car crash and getting shot. Now, just before shooting Brian and Dom, Fenix admits with no remorse that he killed Letty. Suddenly, the cars behind them explode due to sabotage by Dom, who had anticipated the betrayal. Brian uses this diversion to hijack one of the Hummers carrying the heroin, and escape the gunfire with Dom.

Back in marshall, they hide the Hummer in the LAPD impound lot, and Brian claims that Dom now owes him a "10-second car", echoing Dom's line from the first movie. Dom smashes the window of an impounded Subaru Impreza WRX STI which he "gives" to Brian. They go to Brian's place, where Brian calls up Mia to come over and patch up Dom from a gunshot wound he sustained in the earlier fire fight. After dinner, Dom rummages through some of Brian's evidence and learns that Brian had been contacted by Letty, who had agreed to infiltrate Braga's organization to collect information in exchange for clemency for Dom, so that he could return home to her in LA. This is how she had ended up being one of the drivers for the Braga import job which led to her death. Mia forgives Brian for his past betrayal five years earlier.

The next day, he tells his superiors about his plan to lure Braga into a trap, offering him his heroin back in exchange for $6 million, which Braga is to deliver himself. However, Brian requests that the FBI pardon Dom before proceeding with the plan. Campos agrees to Brian's deal, not knowing that the FBI is poised to arrest Braga at the exchange site. However, the FBI only succeeds in apprehending Braga's decoy, realizing too late that Campos is the real Rowe Braga. Because of this error, Braga is able to evade capture and flees to Mexico, out of the FBI's jurisdiction.

Brian later finds Dom in his garage tuning up his old Dodge Charger and as they talk and work on the car, Mia is seen returning home from buying groceries, and stops briefly at the sight of them. She heads to the kitchen where she unpacks, seemingly close to tears, and Brian follows her. They seal their reconciliation with a kiss, during which it is assumed that Mia had always loved Brian and vice versa. A few hours later, Brian and Dom head after Braga on their own, and find him in a church in Mexico praying for salvation. They kidnap him, but are soon chased by Braga's henchmen, to the underground tunnels where Dom's Dodge Charger crashes. Once on the U.S. side of the border, an injured Brian is about to be shot by Fenix when Dom suddenly arrives, driving a henchman's car straight into Fenix, killing him. Braga is finally apprehended by the FBI, and despite the promised clemency clause, so is Dom.

Brian appeals to the courts, but Dom is sentenced to "25 years to life without the possibility of early parole." The movie concludes with Dom being transported in a prison bus on a desert highway to the Lompoc Penitentiary, when Brian, driving Dominic's rebuilt Dodge Charger, with Mia, Tego, and Rico in two other stealthy black cars (Honda NSX and Pontiac Trans Am), arrive for an interception.



X - MEN ORIGINS : WOLVERINE

Udah 3 minggu ber-turut2 setiap week-end aku pasti nonton ... Week-end kemarin aku nonton X-MEN ORIGINS : WOLVERINE ...

Sebetulnya aku gak begitu suka filmnya ... tapi berhubung udah janjian week-end mau nonton X - MEN ORIGINS : WOLVERINE ... yah aku harus tepati ... alhasil aku gak begitu nyimak filmnya ... banyakan nanya ke temenku yang duduk di sebelahku ... untung dia cukup sabar menjelaskannya ... he he he ...

In 1845 Canada, young James Howlett sees his father killed by groundskeeper Thomas Logan. The trauma activates the boy's mutation: bone claws protrude from James' hands, and in a mindless rage he kills Logan. With his dying breath, Logan tells James that he is his real father. James flees but is confronted by Logan's abused son and James' half-brother Victor Creed. James and Victor run away, with Victor vowing that they will look out for each other. With their powerful healing abilities, the two survive for over a century as men in their prime, living out their violent urges together in the American Civil War and both World Wars. During the Vietnam War, Victor kills his superior after the superior stops Victor from raping a young girl. James defends his brother and the two are executed by firing squad, which they survive. Major William Stryker approaches the two and offers them membership in Team X, a group of mutants that includes marksman Agent Zero, mercenary Wade Wilson, teleporter John Wraith, invincible Fred Dukes and electricity-controlling Chris Bradley. The brothers agree and participate in a raid on an African diamond trafficker to retrieve a meteorite. The meteorite leads the team to a village, which Stryker orders destroyed after the villagers refuse to help. James is disgusted by the massacre and leaves the group.

Six years later, James - now going by the name of his father, Logan - lives in Canada with his girlfriend Kayla Silverfox. Stryker, now a colonel, locates Logan and warns him someone is killing members of the team, with Bradley and Wade already dead. Shortly afterward Victor murders Silverfox. Logan battles his half-brother, but is defeated. Stryker offers Logan a way to beat Victor, as the rogue mutant is dangerous to Stryker's career. Logan undergoes an operation to reinforce his skeleton with adamantium, a virtually indestructible metal retrieved from the meteorite. Before the procedure, Logan asks for new dog tags inscribed with "Wolverine", based on a story Kayla told him. After the procedure, Stryker orders Wolverine's memory to be erased, but Wolverine overhears him and flees. Wolverine takes refuge in the barn of an elderly couple who take Logan in for the night. In the morning Zero kills the couple and pursues a fleeing Wolverine, but Logan ends up killing him.

Wolverine locates Wraith and Dukes and asks them about the location of Stryker's new laboratory, referred to as, "the Island". They explain that after Logan left Team X they began capturing mutants, and that Victor, who still works for Stryker, is continuing their work. Stryker is performing experiments on the mutants on the Island, hoping to duplicate abilities, but one of them, Remy LeBeau (also known as Gambit), escaped and knows the location of the Island. Wraith and Wolverine locate Gambit and Wolverine asks for the location of the Island, vowing to destroy it. Gambit suspects Wolverine was sent to recapture him and attacks. Outside, Victor, learning his brother's location from Dukes, kills Wraith and takes a sample of his blood. Wolverine attacks and almost kills Victor, but Gambit interrupts the fight, inadvertently letting Victor escape. After a struggle with Wolverine, Gambit realizes he was honest and flies him to the mutant prison on Three Mile Island.

Wolverine confronts Stryker, learning that Silverfox is still alive, having faked her death with hydrochlorothiazide. Silverfox, a mutant with the powers of persuasion, kept track of Wolverine in order to free her sister, Emma Frost. Wolverine forgoes his path of revenge and leaves the facility. Victor shows up, but is denied the adamantium bonding. Enraged at this proof of Logan's superiority, Victor tries to kill Kayla, but Logan, hearing her screams, stops him. Despite Victor's encouragement, Logan spares him, denying his feral nature, and agrees to help Kayla free the imprisoned mutants.

Panicking, Stryker activates his newest creation, Weapon XI, a surgically altered Wade Wilson with the abilities of other mutants, designed to be the "ultimate mutant killer". Weapon XI attacks Wolverine and the escaped mutants, which results in Silverfox being shot. The mutants escape through the facility's tunnels, guided by a young Scott Summers who is following a voice in his head. Outside, the party is greeted by Professor Charles Xavier, who guided Scott and offers them shelter at his school.

The fight between Wolverine and Weapon XI spills onto the top of one of the plant's cooling towers, where Victor arrives and aids his brother (claiming no one will kill James but him). Together, they decapitate Weapon XI. Wolverine informs Victor that despite his help, their relationship is over. Victor simply reminds him that as brothers, they can never be finished, and escapes. Wolverine is saved from the collapsing tower by Gambit. Logan asks Gambit to ensure the mutants' safety while he finds Kayla. As he carries her to safety, Stryker shoots Wolverine in the back and head with adamantium bullets, knocking him unconscious. Silverfox uses her powers to order Stryker to walk away before dying from her injuries. Gambit returns, but due to amnesia caused by the brain damage inflicted by the bullets, Wolverine does not remember anything. As ambulances and police arrive, Gambit tries to convince Wolverine to come with him, but he declines. Gambit wishes Wolverine good luck before they depart. Stryker is found and arrested by the military for killing a general in Three Mile Island.

OVER HER DEAD BODY

Satunya lagi film ini yang aku tonton .....

OVER HER DEAD BODY is a comedy film starring Eva Longoria Parker, Paul Rudd, Lake Bell, Jason Biggs, Lindsay Sloane, Colin Fickes and Stephen Root. It was written and directed by Jeff Lowell. Kate (Eva Longoria Parker) dies on the day of her wedding to fiancé Henry (Paul Rudd). He subsequently begins a relationship with psychic Ashley (Lake Bell) who becomes haunted by Kate trying to sabotage their relationship.

The film was released in the United States and Canada on
February 1, 2008.

Kate (Eva Longoria Parker) and Henry (Paul Rudd) are about to be married, but on the day of their wedding, Kate is accidentally killed by an ice sculpture angel when it falls on her, after an argument with the sculptor about the lack of wings. After a year, Henry reluctantly agrees to consult a psychic named Ashley (Lake Bell) at the urging of his sister Chloe, arguing that Kate may tell him to get on with his life. Chloe gives Ashley Kate's diary so that Ashley learns information about Kate which seemingly demonstrates psychic abilities. Despite his initial skepticism over these abilities, Henry is impressed. Moreover, Henry and Ashley fall in love.

On the other hand, Kate, after realizing that she is back on Earth, is unsure of what she's supposed to do. She bumps into the ghost of the sculptor to find out that he died as well. He tells her that they are supposed to deal with their unfinished business. Thus, Kate is led to believe that her job is to protect Henry. Later on, Kate, who only Ashley can see, harasses Ashley to force her to break up with Henry. Ashley persists, but Henry discovers the fraud with the diary and breaks up the relationship.

The ghost of the sculptor meets Kate again. And after chatting with him, she realizes that she wants Henry to be happy after all. The movie ends with Henry and Ashley getting married and Kate going back to the room where she originally met the mysterious angel woman who doesn't let her enter heaven because she had not settled her unfinished business.

An extra storyline is about Ashley's assistant Dan (Jason Biggs) who has claimed for years to be gay, allowing him to be Ashley's best friend without sexual connotations. She is upset when Dan confesses to be heterosexual, and to have lied to her because he liked the intimacy, even though it was non-sexual. Nevertheless, they go on vacation together after Ashley and Henry break up. Being in love with her, Dan is disappointed that Ashley chooses Henry. However, Dan and Chloe fall in love during Henry & Ashley's wedding.


LONELY HEARTS

Lagi2 week-end kemarin, aku nonton 2 film ... salah satunya LONELY HEARTS ...

Awalnya, Raymond Fernandez (Jared Leto) hanya ingin memanfaatkan ketampanannya untuk menggaet para wanita kesepian dan memanfaatkan mereka untuk mendapatkan uang dengan cara mudah. Raymond kemudian memasang iklan menawarkan jasa kencan bagi siapa yang memerlukannya.

Dari 'pekerjaannya' ini Raymond mendapat cukup banyak uang dan bisa hidup layak. Namun bisnis yang digeluti Raymond ini segera saja berubah menjadi sebuah kejahatan besar ketika Raymond mendapat klien bernama Martha Beck (Salma Hayek). Dalam waktu singkat Raymond jatuh cinta pada Martha yang juga ternyata merasakan hal yang sama.

Celakanya, Martha yang mengetahui 'mata pencaharian' Raymond bermaksud membawa bisnis ini setingkat lebih tinggi. Martha kemudian berpura-pura menjadi adik Raymond dalam melaksanakan penipuan ini. Ujung-ujungnya, Martha tak puas hanya mengeruk harta wanita yang dikencani Raymond dan memutuskan untuk menghabisi para wanita kesepian ini.

Elmer C. Robinson (John Travolta) yang terobsesi pada kejahatan yang dilakukan Raymond dan Martha kemudian bertekad memburu sepasang penjahat ini meski resikonya ia harus kehilangan keluarganya.

Meski film ini adalah karya pertama Todd Robinson sebagai sutradara, namun hasil arahannya patut dapat acungan jempol. Keputusan membuat remake dari film tahun 70-an bisa jadi adalah buah dari ketidakyakinan sang sutradara untuk membuat sebuah karya original, tapi tetap saja tak semua remake berhasil dari sisi kualitas. Untungnya Todd tak terjebak pada ide sekedar membuat ulang film lama dan mampu menyuguhkan sesuatu yang segar meski di sana-sini masih ada beberapa kekurangan.

Hal pertama yang dilakukan Todd adalah mengubah struktur cerita dari film pertama dan melihatnya dari sisi pandang yang berseberangan. Versi pertama film ini memang lebih menyorot pasangan pembunuh sementara Todd lebih menekankan pada dua detektif yang menyelidiki kasus pembunuhan berantai ini. Meski harus berkompromi soal blood and gore, tapi Todd mampu membuatnya tetap bernuansa sadis layaknya versi pertama tanpa harus mengambil resiko terlalu banyak scene yang habis di meja sensor.

Kalau soal alur cerita sudah cukup kokoh, maka hal berikutnya adalah soal penokohan. Dan lagi-lagi Todd cukup piawai untuk membangun sebuah karakter menjadi hidup dengan memberikan kilasan 'sejarah' sehingga penonton dapat lebih 'merasakan' para tokoh yang mereka tonton ini. Ini tentu saja tak lepas dari kehandalan para aktor dan aktris yang menjadi pendukung film ini. Tak sia-sia casting all stars dipasang karena mereka juga didukung dengan naskah dan pengarahan yang sama handalnya.

Kalaupun ada cacat mungkin adalah aksen Jared Leto yang kurang pas dan terdengar janggal. Sementara Salma Hayek tak ada masalah untuk memerankan seorang wanita yang dominan dan cenderung brutal, yang jadi masalah justru kecantikan Salma. Dalam kisah aslinya (film ini diadaptasi dari sebuah kisah nyata yang dialami oleh kakek Todd Robinson sendiri), alasan Martha Beck membunuh korban adalah karena ia cemburu akan kecantikan para wanita yang dikencani Raymond dan meski sang make up artist sudah berusaha membuat Salma terlihat 'jelek', tetap saja ia masih terlalu cantik untuk memerankan Martha Beck.
