THE GHOST WRITER

Pas week-end, selain ke Serpong dan Bogor, aku sama temenku juga nonton film THE GHOST WRITER ... padahal tadinya aku pingin nontonnya When In Rome ... tapi di bioskop yang kita datengin gak main ... yah udah deh ... tapi gpp juga sih nonton THE GHOST WRITER ... kan ada Pierce Brosnan-nya ...

When a successful British ghostwriter agrees to complete the memoirs of former British Prime Minister Adam Lang, his agent assures him it's the opportunity of a lifetime. But the project seems doomed from the start—not least because his predecessor on the project, Lang's long-term aide, died in an accident. The ghostwriter flies out to work on the project, in the middle of winter, to an oceanfront house on an island off the U.S. Eastern seaboard. But the day he arrives, a former British cabinet minister accuses Lang of authorizing the illegal seizure of suspected terrorists and handing them over for torture by the CIA—a war crime. The controversy brings reporters and protesters swarming to the island mansion where Lang is staying with his wife, Ruth, and his personal assistant (and mistress), Amelia. As the ghostwriter works, he uncovers clues suggesting his predecessor may have stumbled on a dark secret linking Lang to the CIA—and that somehow this information is hidden in the manuscript he left behind.

The film begins with a narration that explains the three Olympians who battled the Titans long ago: Zeus, Poseidon, and Hades. Hades provides their means of defeating the Titans with his creation, the Kraken. After the Titans' defeat, Zeus created humans and ruled them while Poseidon ruled the sea, but Hades, having been deceived by his brother Zeus was forced to rule the Underworld, learns an alternative means of gaining power from humans different from his brothers receiving theirs from human devotion: fear.

Millenia later, a fisherman named Spyros finds a coffin adrift in the sea, discovering a baby, Perseus, and his dead mother, Danaë, inside. Spyros decides to raise Perseus as his own. Years later, Perseus and his family are fishing when they witness a group of soldiers from Argos destroying a statue of Zeus as a declaration of war against the gods. Hades appears and commands harpies to massacre the soldiers before he himself destroys Perseus's family's fishing boat. Perseus tries to save his family but to no avail, the surviving soldiers take Perseus back to Argos. During a feast for the returning soldiers King Cepheus and Queen Cassiopeia of Argos compare themselves and their daughter, Andromeda, to the gods much their daughter's dismay. After convincing his brother to let him loose on humanity to punish Argos for its defiance, Hades appears in the Argos' courtroom before killing the remaining soldiers with Perseus is unaffected. Revealing Perseus to be the demigod son of Zeus, and aging Cassiopeia to death, Hades threatens that if Princess Andromeda is not sacrificed to the Kraken, Argos will be destroyed in 10 days.

The king seeks the help of Perseus after he is placed in the dungeon. Perseus initially refuses until he meets Io, a woman who does not age as punishment for refusing to be seduced by a god. Io then reveals his conception was a punishment conducted by Zeus on Acrisius, the former king of Argos who was married to Danaë, for his actions against the gods. When Acrisius sets Danaë and the baby Perseus adrift in their coffin; an enraged Zeus struck Acrisius with lightning, leaving him hideously disfigured. After learning that killing the Kraken would allow him to have his revenge against Hades, Perseus accepts as he and Argos' finest soldiers embark on a quest to find the Stygian Witches with a pair of hunters and Io following. To counter this turn of events, Hades enlists Acrisius, now called Calibos, to kill off Perseus by giving him a bit of his power.

While in the woods, Perseus and his men discover a sword forged in Olympus that will only display power if it is wielded by Perseus. Perseus refuses both it and a Pegasus that the gods are offering, as he does not wish to be a god. Calibos attacks the group, loosing his hand before he escapes. However, Calibos' blood forms giant scorpions from the sand that attack Perseus and his group. Though they slay several scorpions, most of the group are slain, and the survivors surrounded by more of the monsters. They are saved by the Djinn, cursed men with magical powers, who tame the scorpions. Though not trusted prior to healing Perseus wound, a Djinn joins Perseus's group as his kind wish to see the gods defeated.

At the Garden of Stygia, the Stygian Witches tell Perseus that the head of Medusa could kill the Kraken, but that Perseus and his group will die in the process. After leaving the witches, with the hunters taking their leave, Perseus is visited by Zeus who offers him asylum on Mount Olympus. He refuses. Zeus gives him instead a golden drachma, which Perseus learns is a means to bribe Charon for passage into the Underworld. While Io remains outside Medusa's lair, due to a spell that forbids any woman from entering the area, Perseus' remaining soldiers fight hard to stay alive, turning to stone one by one by her gaze. But with the Djinn self destructing himself and Draco's sacrifice, Persues manages to behead Medusa. By the time he emerges, watching Io get mortally wounded, Perseus engages Calibos in combat and kills him, using the sword from Olympus to stab him in the heart. With his final breath, Acrisius tells Perseus to never become a god. Perseus rides Pegasus back to Argos with Medusa's head to find some citizens of Argos have formed a cult of Hades and are planning to sacrifice Andromeda to the Kraken. Hades reveals to Zeus the destruction of Argos will give him enough power to overthrow the other Olympians. As the Kraken begins its advance, Zeus learns of Hades's true agenda and is powerless to stop him as the god leaves for Argos to ensure his victory.

Perseus returns to Argos, but Hades sends his harpies to stop him before Perseus defeats the creatures sent by Hades and uses the head of Medusa to turn the Kraken into stone as Cepheus is killed by the cult leader before being crushed until the shattering Kraken. Using the sword, Perseus drives Hades back to the Underworld. After saving Argos from destruction, Andromeda suggests that Perseus become king and rule Argos at her side, but he declines. Zeus appears before Perseus again and offers to make him a god, but he refuses. Zeus warns Perseus that Hades will return to rule the world in darkness when he amasses enough fear from mankind. Since Perseus is intent to stay on Earth, Zeus resurrects Io, and the two embrace while Pegasus flies above them.

GREEN ZONE, IT'S COMPLICATED, REMEMBER ME

Minggu lalu, aku sama temenku nonton film GREEN ZONE, IT'S COMPLICATED, plus REMEMBER ME. Tapi gak dalam satu hari penuh kita nontonnya ... bisa pedes deh mata kalo seharian gitu ...

Film Green Zone ini pilihan temenku ... aku gak ngerti ceritanya ... makanya aku sempet ketiduran ... he he he .... gantian 1 sama ...

Iraqi General Mohammed Al-Rawi (Yigal Naor), in hiding in Baghdad, is meeting with his aides talking about the invasion of Iraq. Al-Rawi suggests that they wait until the Americans arrive and perhaps make his army an offer to join their forces.

Chief Warrant Officer Roy Miller (Matt Damon) and his squad investigate a warehouse, believed to be holding Weapons of Mass Destruction. But they find that the warehouse is empty. At a debriefing, Miller brings up the point that the majority of the intel given to him is inaccurate and anonymous, stating that on his last three attempts to find WMDs, his team had come up with nothing. High-ranking officials quickly debunk Miller's theory about the intelligence being false. After the debriefing, Miller meets Martin Brown (Brendan Gleeson), a CIA officer based in the Middle East who tells Miller that the next place he is going to investigate for WMDs is also empty, as a team had already searched there months ago.

Meanwhile, Clark Poundstone (Greg Kinnear) is welcoming Ahmed Zubadi (Raad Rawi) an Iraqi politician at Saddam International Airport, where he is interrogated by journalist Lawrie Dayne (Amy Ryan). She asks if she could speak to "Magellan", to which Poundstone says that he is heavily "locked up".
While investigating another site, Miller is approached by the Iraqi who calls himself "Freddie" (Khalid Abdalla), who tells Miller that he saw Al-Rawi at the meeting in a nearby house. Miller and his men swiftly go to the house but Al-Rawi narrowly escapes but they take one of his henchmen into custody. But before Miller can extract any more information the man is taken by Delta Force, sent by Poundstone.

Miller goes to Brown's hotel in the green zone and tell him of what took place, then Brown gets permission for Miller to visit the man taken by the Special Forces. Before leaving, he is approached by Wall Street Journal correspondent Lawrie Dayne. When Miller gets to the prison where the informant is held, the man is in desperate need of medical attention, the man responds to Miller's question with the word "Jordan". With Brown's help, Miller's suspicions are confirmed that Al-Rawi met with Poundstone in February in Jordan as Poundstone's inside man.

While Miller tries to meet with Al-Rawi, he is kidnapped by Al-Rawi's men because Poundstone announced the decision to disarm all Iraqi army. Al-Rawi tells him that he told Poundstone there had been no WMD programme since the First Persian Gulf War, and we learn that Poundstone lied to his superiors in Washington - so that Iraq would be invaded. General Al-Rawi then flees as the Iraqi Army is disbanded by Delta Force with the objective to kill him. Meanwhile, Miller kills his captor and races to capture Al Rawi. Miller finally managed to track down Al-Rawi. But Freddie appears and kills Al-Rawi, saying to Miller "it's not for you to decide what happens in Iraq." Later in his hotel room, Miller writes a report of everything that had happened.

Miller confronts Poundstone at a meeting and gives him the report. Poundstone tells Miller that WMD does not matter. Then, Miller violently grabs Poundstone, saying "the reason that why we go to war always matter." Blackwater contractors break them up. Poundstone then rejoins the Iraqi meeting, only to see the Iraqi leaders yelling at each other and leaving the meeting. Afterwards, Dayne receiving an e-mailed copy of Miller's report. The camera then pans out to show Miller on-duty driving off on the Iraqi highway, with the Iraqi oil fields in the background.

Nah kalo It's Complicated ... pilihan kita berdua ...

Jane (Meryl Streep) is a self-reliant divorcée who owns a successful bakery in Santa Barbara, California. After 10 years of separation and three grown children, she finally achieves a good relationship with her ex-husband Jake (Alec Baldwin), a successful attorney who has remarried the much-younger Agness (Lake Bell).

Jane and Jake attend their son Luke's college graduation in New York. A dinner together develops into an affair, making Jane "the other woman". Part of Jane knows it is wrong, since Jake and Agness are still married and trying to have a baby; the other part of Jane relishes being "the other woman" and continues the affair with Jake in Santa Barbara. Jake is just enjoying the clandestine sex and doesn't show much interest in Jane's growth as a person. He however feels nostalgic for the family life he once had with Jane, particularly her cooking, and being close with his children, and wonders if he should be growing old with Jane rather than starting a new family in late middle-age with Agness.

Their children know nothing of their parents' affair, although Harley (John Krasinski), who is engaged to their daughter Lauren, spots them in a hotel and keeps silent. Agness knows nothing, as Jake still has sex with her on demand; her five-year-old son Pedro suspects something when Jake makes phone calls from the bathroom.

Complicating matters is Adam (Steve Martin), an architect hired to remodel Jane's home, who is himself healing from a divorce of his own, and who has begun to fall in love with Jane. He spends time getting to know her as a person. On the night of Luke's graduation party, Jane invites Adam to the party, and when he picks her up she's high because she smoked one of the joints that Jake gave her. Then at the party, Adam takes a swift from the joint too and they both become really high. Jake becomes jealous observing them, but with some cajoling by Jane, he gets high as well. Harley confronts Jake and Jane, stressed from keeping their secret, and eventually agrees to smoke some pot as well. Agness then observes Jake and Jane dancing together, and becomes suspicious of their renewed closeness.

When they leave, Adam asks if they could have something to eat so Jane takes him to her bakery-restaurant and offers to make him anything; he asks for a chocolate croissant, which they make from scratch laughing and having fun. This takes hours, and they enjoy the time together. As her architect, he shows great sensitivity in listening to her needs and vision for her remodeled kitchen and bedroom.

Jake leaves Agness, who kicks him out of their house as he confesses that he's still in love with Jane, who rebuffs his gesture. Eventually via webcam under embarrassing circumstances, Adam learns Jane is still seeing Jake. Adam knows his boundaries and tells Jane he cannot continue seeing her as this triangle will only lead to heartbreak. Her kids also find out, and they are not happy about Mom and Dad getting together again, as they are still recovering from the divorce ten years ago. Jane tells them she is not getting back with their dad, who then drives off in his Porsche while the children go to Harley and Lauren's house. Jane soon reconciles with the kids, citing that she wanted to do this for herself, which they sympathize. When she returns home, Jake awaits her to talk, and the two end their affair on amicable terms.

The film ends with Adam returning to Jane's house to work on her addition and before the credits roll Jane and Adam are seen laughing while walking into her house.

Remember Me, film ini pilihanku ... karena salah satu pemainnya, Pierce Brosnan ... yang tambah tua tapi tambah ganteng ....

In New York City in 1991 the young girl Ally witnesses the murder of her mother on a New York City Subway platform[3]

In 2001, Ally is 21 years old,and is a student at New York University who lives at home with her father, an NYPD detective, Neil Craig (Chris Cooper). We discover that he is very protective of Ally, insisting that he knows where she is, that he drives her to and from school and that she takes taxis instead of the subway.

We are next introduced to Tyler Hawkins (Robert Pattinson), a moody, directionless 21 year-old auditing classes and working in a bookstore of New York University. He has had a strained relationship with his businessman father, Charles (Pierce Brosnan) because of his brother Michael's suicide and Charles' apparent lack of concern for Tyler's younger sister, Caroline.

One night Tyler and his roommate Aidan (Tate Ellington) find themselves in trouble with police detective Neil Craig. Later Aidan sees Ally (now played by Emilie de Ravin) being dropped off at NYU by her Dad. He schemes to retaliate against the detective by having Tyler pursue and dump Ally. Tyler reluctantly agrees to meet her, refusing to participate in Aidan's plan. After spending some time with Ally, the two bond over the losses in their pasts and begin to fall for each other. One night, Ally stays out all night and doesn't call home. Her father is overwhelmed with fear and anxiety. When she arrives home, they fight and Neil punches Ally in the face. She leaves home and moves in with Tyler and Aidan. Eventually, Neil recognizes Tyler, and the latter provokes Neil by confessing Aidan's ill-advised scheming and his reason for meeting Ally. This turn of events forces Tyler to confess everything to Ally. She leaves him angrily. The couple stay alienated until Aidan visits her to explain that only he is to blame, and that Tyler's feelings were legitimate.

Tyler and his little sister are very close. Caroline's classmates think she's weird and she is frequently the subject of ridicule. One day she attends the sleepover-birthday party of one of her classmates. While she's sleeping, the girls chop off her hair. Caroline's trauma brings her family together, including her Dad and Tyler, Aidan and Ally. Tyler and Ally bond again. Tyler takes Caroline to class on her first day back to school following the assault at the party. When one of the perpetrators ridicules Caroline, Tyler loses it, flipping the little girl's desk and throwing a fire extinguisher through the glass classroom door.

In the days and weeks following the assault on Caroline, Tyler and Charles begin to reconnect. Tyler sees in Charles the love, concern, and caring for Caroline that he'd assumed was lacking. Charles assists Tyler with his legal difficulties resulting from his outburst at Caroline's school and they form a quiet truce. Charles asks Tyler to meet with lawyers at his office and so Tyler goes to his father's work place. While waiting for his father and the attorneys to arrive, Tyler discovers photographs of himself, Caroline, and Michael on Charles' computer and smiles, realizing the depth of Charles' love for his family. Tyler looks out the window of his father's office over Manhattan, and as the camera view widens we see that he is in an office near the top of the World Trade Center. Meanwhile, Charles is late arriving to his meeting with Tyler because he is riding with Caroline to school. Caroline arrives in her classroom, takes her seat and her teacher writes the date on the blackboard, Tuesday, September 11, 2001. In the moments following the attack on WTC, each of Tyler's friends and loved ones are shown discovering the events as they unfold.

At the end of the film, with Tyler narrating, Caroline is seen reconnecting with Charles, Aidan is shown working hard in school with Tyler's name tattoed on his arm (similar to when Tyler tattooed his deceased brother's name onto his chest), and Ally embraces her father, as well as being able to ride the subway with a wry smile on her face. Tyler's tombstone bears the words, "Loving son, loving brother".
