seen it, read it














movie:
x-men 3 - i know it's probably very very late to post about this movie but yeah, this has been the last movie i went to a month ago! anyway, compared to the 2 other considered-big-but-ended-up-disappointing movies that i went to previously (mi-3 and da vinci code), i would say i found this one as the most enjoyable one. good visual effects and all - however i found that the ending of the story itself was rather too cliché.***


book: my sister's keeper author: jodi picoult
this novel is about a 13-year-old kid named anna, who has undergone countless surgeries, transfusions, and shots so that her older sister, kate, can somehow fight the leukemia that has plagued her since childhood. anna makes a decision that for most would be unthinkable, a decision that will tear her family apart and have perhaps fatal consequences for the sister she loves. i've never read any of jodi picoult's books before and surprisingly this becomes one of my fave novels.*****

UUGGHH.. betul banget... X-3 itu rada2 mengecewakan. dari trailernya sih kayanya keren ehh... pas nontonnya.. kok ga ada apa2nya gitu yah... especially si angel.. buat apa dimasukin ke film kalo ga acting sama sekali... (cuma terbang selamatin bokapnya???) hahahaaha.. well overall kalo elu suka hugh jackman/wolverine... nah... boleh tuh nonton ;-) soalnya 99% he's the main character.. trus yg gue kesalin lagi si rogue... kok bisa2nya ilang power... ditambah lagi cyclop.. doh.. langsung mati gitu huehehehehhe... (hopefully superman and pirate of caribbean 2 ga big-but ended-up-disappointing movies)
eh lol.. elu kan rada suka indie band? couple days ago i just found out about sia and goldfrapp... pernah denger ga tentang mereka? elu suka zero 7 kan? nah sia itu the singer from zero 7 (she's born from aussie but moved to england).. dia keluarin album sendiri gitu.. ("colour the small one" - breathe me is the single taken from that album) not bad at all ternyata....trus pernah denger tentang goldfrapp? surprisingly electronic kind of songs can be really good :p hmm the last one.. death cab for cutie.. have you ever heard their songs before? gue lagi dengerin album transatlanticism.. gue demen bgt.. makanya gue lagi penasaran ama album barunya and also their old ones...
hehehhehe.. ok deh... kalo gue terusin lama2 bakalan jadi kaya surat instead of comment ..... :D

sounds like an interesting book to look out for!

delphynus - it is indonesian indeed ;P

jennifer - i do like zero 7! it's one of my fave band. i also like a few songs of death cab as well. goldfrapp is ok, i'm not very into electronic music though. thanks for the info about sia, i'm gonna check that out!
