nona cyan's review on Spielberg's MUNICH

Actually this movie should fall into Drama - comedy (hey,this sounds like a category in Golden Globe,or was it Musical - Comedy?)
Spielberg has tactfully placed some silly yet deep joke in some spots,so when I was in verge of tears,I laughed instead...Can't forget the radio joke..and the song was Al Green's "I'm so in Love with You"....What the *&^% a song from an AMERICAN PREACHER can bring peace to an Arab an A Jew (fighting over a radio channel)? This song also used as a background for one of the most intense conversation in the movie...between Eric Bana and "the Arab guy who looks like Enrique Iglesias".

Umm yea,I was also made some racist comment about Jews...especially when financial guy from MOSSAD keep saying,"I want to see the receipt". He got a point though,when he said "For everything you do,there's someone else who's paying for it".

Hence I can't help but wondering why on earth Steven Spielberg choose Eric Bana for the leading role. Bana is Ban-tastic for sure (ladies...bring a bucket,he is HOT in this movie and still looks damn cool in those 70's tight shirt and pants. O yea,i addition he cooks amazing dish) but he doesn't look Jewish at all. Zach Braff from "Scrubs" looks more Jewish and he can act as well. Well, turned out he was chosen because ...well you'll see in the movie.

The cinematography is a feast for eyes and John Williams's composition adds just nicely. GREAT art direction, wonder where the art director shops? Those clothes...cars...lamps..basically those COOL 70's props. Well-picked European locations also gives more vibes into this movie.

For some people this movie is just another attemp from Spielberg to demand justification over holocaust (i.e to promote Jewish heritage). After watching this movie, I surely DO NOT agree with this.

Instead of screaming "HEIL SEMIT",Spielberg is telling how humane a spy can be. The pressure is HARD on being one...and Bana had successfully potray that in a role. A (hella hunk) simple man with life-risking task..can be seriously frustrating. I can personally understand about him being paranoid and sleep inside the closet.

Should this movie win an Oscar? I vote for best pic,but haven't seen Capote nor Brokeback yet..so my vote is not yet final. Here's Bana and Rush arguing about who should finish the baclava. Specially for ladies,here's Bana in shades...

excitedly waiting for Mr. Pat

I've been an avid jazz listener since primary school (yea,i'm THAT geeky).My first ever CD was "Brazil" from Manhattan Transfer,but I've donated it to my cousin *regret that a bit* While all my friends were crazy about NKOTB,I was too,but still keeping my sanity with Ritenour and Gershwin.
So when I heard about Java Jazz is coming to Jakarta...all i can do was weep... bad timing for now. The line up sounds enticing : Lee Ritenour, Mezzoforte, Bob James, well have already saw them,but more live shows won't hurt my jazz-lovin-ear. I surely miss Patti Austin, The Brand New Heavies and Kirk Whalum.

However, Thank Goodness...Esplanade will be having mosaic music festival! Well, it won't be all about jazz,(and the prices are quite dear) but PAT METHENY will be playing! yea yea yeaaa! His works are amazingly good,up until now I still can't decide which album should i buy...most of my friends are advising to buy We Live Here . Humm..since lime wire has provided me down load access to this album...have to consider buying another one.

Man....a guy who can play guitar THIS GOOD is just too heavenly to be true and definitely worth to watch!
*if he can photograph too..that'd be a berry-nice addition :P*

OSK green tea

Sebagai mantan pecandu kopi...
dan ternyata sekarang 2 gelas kopi membuat telapak tangan saya berkeringat dingin dan jantung dag dig dug (kayak mau ketemu Jake Gylendhall aje)..
.maka demi mensukseskan malam2 begadangan yang memerlukan konsentrasi tinggi (sementara godaan kasur bertahtakan guling dan bantal-bantal babi amat sangat santer)..

teh menjadi pilihan selanjutnya.

Berdasarkan survey teh hijau berkantong (yang bubuk lebih mahal) yang dijual di Singapur.
Saya memutuskan merk OSK adalah yang paling TOP.
Dari segi rasa,setelah 4 kali seduhan (pakai mug bukan karaf lho ya) masih terasa.

lay them there

so you think you're different?
far more unique than the others

Well,turned out all have wounds
scars that still drips blood

lay them there
where all savage can peek
and imagining
which part can they savour most

too rare to bare
lay them there

HAPPY V DAY!

wanna b

are you reading this from far away?

oh,do you know?
such a brute feeling this is.
Pulsing all over my body.
Each and every pulse spells a letter.
They're conjuring your name.

Floating.

The whirling wind will bring them to you.

Put your specs on.

Yes,there they are.

See them dancing in front of your nose?

You've perfected your ability of being invisible.

(riverwalk,2 am)

picker upper

bland
bleak and darkness just blankets me
this bloody sulky air
can we just sweep it away?

it sticks
glued on my skin.
every centimeter of it's surface are suffering

drag this lump of remains

then my soul started dragging
Picking up one carcass after another

a spark lights up the sky
then another
then some others

Well darlings,we won't see the sparks on sunny day will we?

(thanks people,for all the sparks you've given me)
