We can also watch Banshee (Caleb Landry Jones) screams his power, Beast (Nicholas Hoult) tries to fly the X-Jet, and Havok (Lucas Till) with Professor X (James McAvoy) surrounded by fire.

New trailer of Spike Jonze's latest short film with Arcade Fire, "Scenes from the Suburbs"

Ever since I watched "Being John Malkovich" and this beautiful short film called "I'm Here" (starring Andrew Garfield and Sienna Guillory), I immediately started to admire Spike Jonze, man genius behind the directorial seat. This year Jonze made another short, cooperating with this year's Grammy winning indie rock band Arcade Fire, titled "Scenes from the Suburbs". Check out the cool trailer below:



This short film is originally written by the band members while Jonze directed it. The trailer looks so simple though, but it does depict the gritty real life sci-fi flick. Referring to his previous works like "Adaptation", "Being John Malkovich", or even the "I'm Here" short, we can conclude immediately that Jonze has a thing for any sci-fi material. Andrew Garfield portrays a 'human computer' in "I'm Here", and John Cusack enters a magical box which leads him inside John Malkovich's head. Jonze's idea is rather quirky and unusual but somehow I enjoy it!

"Scenes from the Suburbs" will go straight-to-DVD, but still with an unknown release dates. Anyone of you is excited to watch it?

Here comes the March: the movies you'd love to watch (Part 3)

The third part of March release list is here! From the previous second list, seems like "Battle: Los Angeles" has taken over the top spot of weekly box office, while "Red Riding Hood" comes in third, but unfortunately "Mars Needs Mom" has a rough start. "Jane Eyre" might wasn't a blast on the box office, but it surely received praised and positive reactions from the critics. Not any of these movies have arrived in Indonesia yet, so I can't give you my personal opinion (I'm still doubting if I would still able to watch them though. How sad is that?). OK now let's continue to the list of movies that are going to be released next week!

"Limitless"
Starring: Bradley Cooper, Abbie Cornish, Robert DeNiro
Directed by: Neil Burger
Genre: Action thriller
Release date: March 18

Eddie Morra (Bradley Cooper) is an unemployed writer whose girlfriend Lindy (Abbie Cornish) breaks up with him. Eddie believes he has no future, but when a friend introduces him to the experimental drug NZT, Eddie becomes highly focused and highly confident. He is able to recall everything he has read, heard, or seen, and he uses the knowledge to become successful in the financial world. Business mogul Carl Van Loon (Robert De Niro) sees Eddie as a potential tool to make money, but Eddie's success also attracts hitmen who pursue him for the NZT. Eddie's stash dwindles, causing him side effects, as he tries to escape being assassinated.

"The Mirror Never Lies": promoting the beauty of Wakatobi and Bajo culture

One more high quality Indonesian feature that will likely appear in April, "The Mirror Never Lies" or "Laut Bercermin". Helmed by a very young director Kamila Andini, daughter of senior director Garin Nugroho, this movie won't just put on a meaningful story, but also promoting the Indonesian tourism. Filmed and set in Wakatobi, "The Mirror Never Lies" will bring you numerous beautiful scenaries of this location, while introducing the in-depth real life of Bajo people, indigenous community in Wakatobi. Moreover, this movie is also made to raise people's awareness of environmental issues.

"The Mirror Never Lies" tells a story about Pakis (Gita Novarita), a twelve-year-old girl whose father is missing while he's sailing. Her father used to tell her stories before he goes sailing, but after one night he actually never comes back. Overly frustrated by this, Pakis isn't able to sleep until now. With only a mirror which her father gave her, she keeps looking for his reflection that never be seen. She believes that through a traditional ritual that involves a mirror and water, the mirror never lies. Pakis' mother (Atiqah Hasiholan), the nowly 32 years old single parent, tries to keep her daughter stays in reality but instead kills Pakis' hopes and dreams to find her father. Pakis' mother keeps on denying about the fact that her husband won't come back, and with desperation she finally covers her face with a thick powder.

There's a light of hope when a 28 years old researcher named Tudo (Reza Rahadian) comes to their lives. Tudo comes to the Bajou village for a dolphin research. His fiancee left him one day before the wedding, and coming to Wakatobi is also his 'runaway plan' from reality. He finds that the sound of dolphin reflects his true self, someone who never understands what a woman wants, but still searching for the right woman for him. Tudo's presence enlighten Pakis and her mother's hope, but it also causes another problem: a love triangle. Pakis sees Tudo as her 'first love', while Pakis' mother feels she finally finds her lost love after all this time. Even so, Tudo is still looking for the answer of what love is. Three of them finally learn many of lessons beneath the beautiful sea.

Aren't you all excited for this movie?! I absolutely am! Wakatobi is one of the most beautiful places in the world, I'm telling you. Choosing Wakatobi and its culture as the setting of this movie is simply a brilliant idea. The audience will not just enjoy the drama of the story, but also cultural knowledge. Wakatobi is an archipelago located in South Eastern Sulawesi, Indonesia, and is also the home of Operation Wallacea, a UK non profit research group about sustainable development of fisheries and coral reef. Its indigenous tribe, Bajo, is often called as the 'sea gypsie', for they always living nomadically, and they build their houses above the sea, literally.

"The Mirror Never Lies" is a debut movie for Kamila Andini, the 23 years old director. She said she's been interested in oceanic themed features. She worked with WWF Indonesia (World Wildlife Fund) and local government of Wakatobi for this movie, for they are also supporting Andini's idea to promote natural and environmental issues. Her father, Garin Nugroho, also supported her as a producer, as well as Nadine Chandrawinata, the coral reef ambassador from Indonesia. Dirmawan Hatta, who previously nominated as Best Script Writer at Festival Film Indonesia (FFI - Indonesian Film Festival) 2008 and the writer of "King", writes the screenplay. Last year's FFI Best Actor winner Reza Rahadian takes the leading part along with Atiqah Hasiholan, daughter of Indonesian artist and women activist Ratna Sarumpaet.

Below is the teaser trailer of "The Mirror Never Lies":



The release date of this movie is still unknown. However, I asked Nadine Chandrawinata about it and she said it will be still released in April. Stay tune for more updates of this movie!

J.J. Abram's "Super 8" gets official synopsis and full trailer!

My first article about Indonesian feature: the upcoming "?" by Hanung Bramantyo

Finally! I managed to write an article about an Indonesian movie! I was pretty confused to pick which title to write. But then I surfed the web and found this thread in Kaskus forum about upcoming drama movie directed by Indonesia's acclaimed Hanung Bramantyo, titled "?" or simply, 'untitled'. Read on the article to see the movie posters and trailer!

This movie tells about three different Indonesian families. First, family of Tan Kat Sun (Henky Solaiman), a father and owner of a successful Chinese food restaurant. But he is irritated by his son, Ping Hen's (Rio Dewanto) attitude, who seems careless to the family. Ping Hen falls in love with Menuk (Revalina S. Temat), a beautiful woman from a Moslem family, who works in his father's restaurant. Unfortunately Menuk already made her choice, by marrying Soleh (Reza Rahadian), who's actually an unemployement and less fortunate than Ping Hen, but shares the same belief with her, Islam.

The third family is Rika's (Endhita), a widow with a child who starts a relationship with a single man named Surya (Agus Kuncoro) after divorcing with her then husband. Surya works as an actor and is a Moslem, while Rika opens a book store and was formerly Moslem but converted to Catholic after her divorce. Their religion difference not just causes a stir between their neighbors, but also inside Rika's family as well. But Rika sticks with her decision and tries to prove that she makes the right choices.

From the short description above, this movie depicts the reality of Indonesian culture and living. Religion difference has been a problem for married/dating couples. Indonesia isn't a secular country, and that's how the people live as well, so Indonesians (including me) always referring to their beliefs as their way of life. We can't get rid of that, it's not a simple matter. And I think this movie wants to carry out this question: why can't we put aside this fundamental difference and live our relationship with one simple base; love?

Ashley Greene & Shiloh Fernandez in "Skateland" trailer

Check out the "Skateland" trailer with Ashley Greene ("The Twilight Saga") and Shiloh Fernandez ("Red Riding Hood") as the leading actors below:



The movie tells about Ritchie Wheeler (Fernandez), Michelle Burkham (Greene), and wise-cracking lady-killer Kenny Crawford (Taylor Handley) struggle with the collapse of their tumultuous home lives, the alcohol-induced idling of reckless adolescence, and the wane of their hometown hangout, the local roller rink. A story syncopated with moments of violent turbulence, of heartbreak and of new beginnings, Skateland shows the brutal, but beautiful vastness of East Texas blue skies and the emotional claustrophobia of the Bible belt. Skateland is a place where aging values wrestle with contemporary pop culture to create a paradoxical balance between old and new.

The movie is out March 25 for a limited release.
