Synopsis:
Adapted from the bestselling novel by Kotaro Isaka “The Accuracy of Death”. Chiba (Takeshi Kaneshiro) appears seven days before a person dies an unexpected death. His job is to observe the person for seven days, and then decide either to ‘execute’ or ‘pass over’. Getting his work quickly out of the way, he goes to the listening booth of a CD shop and indulges in his favorite pastime, listening to ‘humanity’s greatest invention’: music.
Chiba is a Grim Reaper, a supernatural being who closely watches someone who is about to die in a sudden and unexpected way. No illnesses, no suicides: a Reaper’s job is to decide if the upcoming appointment with death should be marked in the agenda as “proceed” or “suspend”. “Suspend” means that the person will survive for now, and is only granted when a reaper gets the impression that his subject still has to reach the most important part of his/her life. But how do you put a value on what is important in someone’s life, especially if you are as clueless about human behavior as Chiba is?
The film shows Chiba doing three of these assignments, each at least twenty years apart from the others. However, because Chiba’s decision in the first assignment has noticeable impact on the future ones, he actually starts to learn a new thing or two about life…
Review:
Jujur aja waktu pertama kali liat film ini yang diliat bukan sinopsisnya tapi POSTERNYA!!! He he he ngeliat si Takeshi Kaneshiro!! Eye catching banget!! Abis itu baca sinopsisnya ternyata cukup menarik juga....
Abis ditonton ternyata filmnya baguss!!! Gag nyangka sih, si Shinigami Chiba lucu bgt!! Dateng ke dunia manusia tapi clueless banget. Udah gitu malah ada yang jadi yakuza pula. Peran si Chiba ini rasanya kayak gabungan filmnya Nicholas Cage yang City Of Angel sama Brad Pitt yang Met Joe Black. Klo smua Shinigami kayak Brad Pitt ama Takeshi Kaneshiro gimana y???
Overall worth itu banget nonton film ini selain bisa ngeliat kegantengan Takeshi Kaneshiro!! Wkwkwkwkwkwkw.....

Review
Pertama kali liat kirain ni dorama model-model Poor Prince Tarou, namanya sama lagi!! Taro juga, he he he ternyata bukan walaupun dorama ini sama-sama lucu!!! Si Aya Ueto jadi cewek kaya banget pewaris jaringan hotel namanya Alice. Pokoknya kaya Paris Hilton versi Jepang gitu deh. Mirip banget deh… sama2 pewaris hotel, bukan line clothing, gonta-ganti pacar…. Hmmmm….. Mungkin inspirasi awalnya si Paris Hilton kali y?????
Dorama ini seru soalnya temanya beda gitu, biasanya kan si cewek yang miskin trus cowoknya yang tajirrr abis gitu. Ini kebalikannya lah, cowoknya super duper miskin sampe klo sarapan cuma nasi ama telur ayam pake kecap asin. Mentah pula si telur ayam tuh!!! Apalagi yang jadi anak-anaknya Taro tuh lucu bgt!!!!!!!!!!!
Pokoknya dorama ini bener-bener a breath of fresh air dari tipikal dorama-dorama ala Cinderella yang ketemu pangerannya gitu!!! Definitely worth watching!!!

Tiga anak muda pengangguran yang tinggal di kampung Kali Code Yogyakarta.

Jagad ingin membelikan mesin cuci bagi ibunya, Bayu ingin mempunyai sendiri lapak jualan buku dan majalah, sementara Gareng ingin membuat salon kecil buat Menik adiknya.
Keinginannya tersebut terbentur masalah dana. Mereka bertiga tidak mempunyai pekerjaan yang tetap. Akan tetapi, sebuah pertemuan yang tidak sengaja dengan tokoh preman bernama Semsar ( Tio Pakusadewo) seakan akan akan merubah semuanya. Mereka dijanjikan akan mendapatkan uang sebanyak tiga puluh juta jika mampu menemukan sebuah benda yang bernama flashdisk. Tetapi karena kesenjangan tehnologi, mereka bertiga tidak tahu apa itu flashdisk. Pun ketika mereka mencoba bertanya pada orang di sekitar mereka. Tidak seorang pun yang mengerti flasdisk itu apa. Ketika flashdisk ditemukan, barulah mereka mengerti kenapa benda kecil itu dicari oleh banyak pihak.
Review:
Waktu liat judulnya kirain kayak film sci-fi ato action gitu... Tapi pas liat yg maen loh kok si RInggo?!??! Disitu udah mulai bingung... Tapi ternyata ni film dibacanya "Jagad Kali Code" wakakakakakakak baru ngeh gitu.. Tadinya agak ragu nonton film ini, soalnya film2nya Ringgo lama2 gag begitu seru. Berhubung kalah suara akhirnya ikutan juga deh nonton.... Ternyata....
Lucu banggetsss!!!! Baru 5 menit nonton udah ngakak!! Dari awal sampe abis tingkah laku yg goblok, konyol, lugu nyampur smua!! Apalagi pas bagian "flesdis merk ladis" gyahahahaha aku ngakak bgt disitu n mikir jaman skrg brarti masih ada jg yg gag tau flashdisk y??
Buat yg pengen liat film yg lucu-lucu JagadXCode cukup aku recommend deh, lebih lucu dr film Ringgo sebelumnya yg Si Jago Merah, tp ya ini menurut aku sih... Habis nonton ini jangan2 jadi pd pengen ke Kali Code!!!

Suka Suka Drama [2]
Plot:
Pushing Daisies centers on the life of Ned, a pie-maker gifted with the mysterious ability to bring dead things back to life by touching them. There are some conditions to this somewhat unusual talent. Ned quickly learns that if something is revived for more than exactly one minute, something of similar "life value" in the vicinity drops dead, as a form of balance. Additionally, if he touches the revived person or thing a second time, it falls dead again, this time permanently.
In the pilot episode, Ned discovers his gift as a child by resurrecting his Golden Retriever, Digby, after the dog is hit by a truck. He later brings back his mother when she dies of an aneurysm. However, in doing this, he accidentally causes the death of the father of his neighbor and childhood sweetheart, Charlotte "Chuck" Charles, as the "price" of keeping his mother alive. Even worse, Ned's mother falls dead permanently when she gives him a good-night kiss (which is how he learns the effect of the second touch).
In their childhood, Ned and Chuck become separated after Chuck's agoraphobic aunts, Vivian and Lily move in to take the role of her parents, while Ned is shipped off by his father to a lonely boarding school.
Inheriting his mother's baking talents, Ned becomes a pie-maker who owns a restaurant called "The Pie Hole", which he runs with the help of waitress Olive Snook (Kristen Chenoweth). The restaurant is failing financially when private investigator Emerson Cod accidentally discovers Ned's gift and offers him a proposal: Ned will bring murder victims back to life, inquire about the circumstances of their untimely death, then touch them once more, all before his set limit of sixty seconds is up. Emerson will then solve the case and they will split the reward money for solving the unanswered questions surrounding the death.
The scheme succeeds until they learn that Chuck, whom Ned hasn't seen since childhood, was murdered while on a cruise ship. When her body is shipped back home, Ned revives her, but can't bring himself to allow her to stay dead by touching her a second time. Against his better judgment, Ned allows her to live and the larcenous funeral home director falls dead in her place. Ned and Chuck fall in love again and he brings her home to live with him under the unique circumstances of their never being able to touch each other. Chuck is extraordinarily grateful upon receiving a second chance at life, and as such she starts to appreciate life as a truly precious resource and Ned, witnessing his vivacious beauty's happiness, begins to break out of his lonely shell. Other storylines include Emerson's search for his missing daughter, Olive Snook's love for Ned and friendship with Chuck, and Chuck's aunts trying desperately to get over their dead niece.

Review:
Pertama kali tau drama ini waktu liat iklannya di tv, karna penasaran akhirnya ditonton deh!! Ternyataaa..... Aku suka banget!!! Ide seseorang yg bisa nyentuh sesuatu yg mati hidup lagi trus disentuuh lagi mati lagi cukup menarik.
Ide ceritanya dari Bryan Fuller yang juga kreatornya "Heroes", pantes waktu nonton rasanta kayak sci-fi gimana gitu...
Tiap episode ceritanya beda-beda gag sabar bwat nuggu episode selanjutnya. Karna aku suka bgt sama drama series yg satu ini makanya aku rate 5 bintang deh!!!
Oh denger-denger katanya drama ini udah dicancelled, huu huu padahal baru aja nonton season satu. Smoga ntar dilanjutin lagi biar gag ngambang critanya.

Suka Suka Film [1]
Country: Japan
Year: 2008
Genre: Myster, Romance
Plot:
Minato is a young girl who was traumatized at a young age by being abandoned by her parents and left with her senile grandmother. She frequently corresponds with a pen-pal named Night, a boy about the same age as her that she's never actually seen in person. Although Minato and Night are very different - Minato is upbeat while Night is brooding, they get along anyway and she regularly updates him on the happenings in her daily life. Minato is even willing to confide in Night that she's falling in love with a boy she's recently met named Sho.
One day she wakes up and finds Sho acting extremely distant and tentative around her. She suspects Night may have something to do with this so she arranges to meet him at the mail box. However, he never shows. As it turns out Night is actually Minato's overprotective split personality and has been trying to drive Sho away by bullying him whenever he had control of her body.
Review:
Wah wah gag nyangka akting Maki disini keren bgt!!!
Karakter antara Minato sama Night bener2 beda n Maki bisa dapet bgt disini.
Emang salut deh buat Maki!! She's awesome..
Buat yang biasanya suka liat Maki yg kawai di film ini bisa ngeliat sisi Maki yg beda bgt sebagai Night...
Meskipun alurnya rada lambat sih... yah mungkin buat yang gag suka bisa bosen nontonnya.
Tapi ide ceritanya cukup unik, overall film ini dirate 4 bintang!!
But it's still worth to watch!!!
