REVIEW:
Experience of watching the movie itself was pretty painful . Seeing corpses and blood every second was really awful experience plus the cinematography and the lighting made it even more painful and heavy .
But , beside those painful stuffs in the movie , Identitas was so powerful and qualified . It was an awesome movie and it’s also ironic . It was an eyes-opener , since it told us story of Jakarta’s area with low-income people who live in it and about the Goverment’s policy of taking-the-ownership of their land and in order to keep your land in their hands , they need to have the identities as the landlords and to have that identities , they have to pay some money which is pretty pricy for them .
Actually , it wasn’t the focus of the movie . The focus of the movie itself it’s the poor-girl’s story , that identity-less girl couldn’t have what she should have from the Government(read: Askeskin) . It focuses on point “People can’t have Government’s service when they don’t have the identity , in fact , to get that “identity” they need money and power while not everyone has that money and power” and even in emergency situation , identity is still as important as going to heaven .
What suprised me was Leony’s performance . Can you imagine the child-star you usually see on tv is now growing up as an qualified serious actress while some other child-stars end up in soap-operas ? Leony was surely a show-stopper .Acting as a character who was dealing with poverty, race and justice issues wasn’t that simple , it took great acting-skill to make the character looked realistic and lively . But , Leony made it . She’s great . She could also make great chemistry with Tio Pakusadewo , who has great acting skill .
Overall , behind the pain of the movie itself .Identitas is a great movie , it is a really great movie and watching the movie was a pleasure for me ,seeing Indonesian Movie Industry keeps getting better all-the-time is a happy truth .
Identitas is ironically funny eventhough it’s painful , it is so simple , emotional but so deep and very Indonesia .
It tells you story about three souls finding solace in religion and they are Rohana , Rohani and Brian . Those three souls with different backgrounds meet each other in their path to make their life better . FYI , it’s based on true story of Yasmin Ahmad and Okhtar Ahmad .

Review :
A simple family movie with touch of religious stuffs and kindness
Muallaf was a not-so-heavy movie but it’s not that kind of easy movie . It was caught in the middle , not-so-heavy but not-so-light .
This movie didn’t really focus on “the convert” itself , it focused on forgiveness , kindness and somehow the director connected them all to the religious and cultural stuffs which make this movie had some ”weight” , eventhough the “weight” itself wasn’t that 5 stars weight but the “weight” was emotional and really into some various cultures .
But , this movie didn’t forget to put humour in it . Ironical and simple .
The acting of the actors were great , actors and actresses of this movie pictured their character in proper and nice ways .
But ,there’s still something missing from this movie . It’s score wasn’t deep enough and it could be its cinematography . I see no really “WOW” factor in the movie . Maybe because it’s just too simple with super-realistic views . But , there’s still some-kind of a bit’ ridicolous scenes and it’s also unbelievable .
But , Yasmin Ahmad really could potray “the convert” nicely without harming any other religion .
FYI , I’m a Christian and i feel no offensive point upon any religion .
3,5/5
Well , i also took a picture with Okhtar Ahmad( Who is the sister of Yasmin Ahmad and she’s a really nice woman . It’s a very big pleasure for me to take photo with a very prestigious woman of Malaysia’s movie industry ) along with my moviegoer friend , Priscilla Sidharta .

By the way , Yasmin Ahmad had gone to Father in heaven . May her soul rest in peace . Amen .
*sorry if there’s any offensive words . They’re only words from ordinary high-school student
I’m not a sporty girl but surely , i’m attracted over high-top sneakers . Big Bang and 2NE1 might be one of the reason why i want to wear hightops sneakers .Those shoes always look hot on their feet .
first round .
JEREMY SCOTT for ADIDAS
1. WINGED VERSION
below is the swarovski version . OMG . It’s so beautiful!
2. 3 Tongue-wonder
that 3-tongue-attitude sneakers were wore by 2ne1’s Minzy and CL :
I’m not talking about the handsome guys of entertainment industry . This list is filled with catchy guys in entertainment industry , again , CATCHY .
Some because they’re just handsome and has a very fierce aura . Some just because they are born with that catchy aura .
Simply , when they walk across the street they will be the center of attention and obviously , i can’t take my eyes off of them if i see them walk across the street .
Nicholas Saputra
actor/vj.
Indonesian’s fiercest male actor of all-time . Young , talented , fierce and outstanding . Two thumbs up for Nicholas Saputra .
Lee Dong Hae of Super Junior
singer/actor
inspiring for both girls and boys without being too dramatic and eccentric .
Adam Lambert
artists/singer.
Maybe one of the eccentric manly gay you rarely see in entertainment industry . Lambert is one of a kind , from American Idol to the Hollywood stardom .
Kim Heechul of Super Junior
singer of a kpop band .
You’ll laugh when you see his face . The funniest comedian in Kpop industry .
Lee Min Ho as Gu Jun Pyo
actor/model
A man who can play perfect potrayal of perfectionist rich egocentric boy of ShinHwa family , always in fab clothes and never makes them look trashy . Rich face never goes wrong .
Kim Hyung Joon
singer of kpop band
Enough said . Lovely adorable face . Too bad , he has cinko-ish style .
Lee Hongki of FT ISLAND
lead-singer of kpop band
Perfect fit in eccentric colourful clothing .
Daniel Mananta
VJ/Actor .
Maybe one of the catchiest Indonesian MTV VJ . His oriental face and his accent make him shine just like another international VJ .
Dominic Lau of [V]Channel
VJ
picture perfect .
Johnny Depp
actor.
also . enough said . too charismatic and too talented .
Key of SHINee
singer of kpop band
always outrageous and unthinkable . Young and fabulous in fun Asia way.
Heath Ledger
Actor .
He’s already Rest In Peace . But , who will forget his Brokeback Mountain gay-act and his The Dark Knight Joker ?
Kim JongHyun of SHINee
Singer of Kpop band
Stunned everyone in his choco-banana hair . Not everyone can play that colour as hot as he did .
Kanye West
rapper/singer/artists/composer/designer/blogger
maybe one of the most inspirational man of music industry .
Choi Siwon of Super Junior
picture perfect of a gentleman . Well , there’s words :
“If you don’t think Choi Siwon is handsome , you must be lesbian”
-Vania Josephine-
G-Dragon or Kwon Ji Yong of Big Bang
enough said . I blogged too much about GD . It’s been months and i still can’t get rid off this obsession upon this blonde boy . GD always stunned me with his extra-ordinary eccentricity and superb style .
well , obviously , no.1 is G-Dragon .
He is not handsome , he is not cute enough to be called cute . He is not that kind of perfect guy or a boy with perfect gentleman appearance . But , he always shows us something unpredictable and fun-to-watch , that’s why i heart his style so much .
remember back in the days , when there’s no one you can trust
I heart GD’s style so much . I don’t really care what people think about him . He’s not handsome enough and i know it . He’s not cute enough and i also know it . But , with that kind of appearance ( skinny body and not-so-handsome face) he can make things really work ! can you imagine Choi Siwon in those outfits ? Freakin’ clown !!!! Go KWON JI YONG!
Here comes the MV which ends the HEARTBREAKER’s trilogy videos . From Heartbreaker till’ Breathe , here comes the last whimsical journey of our Prince of YG Fashion :
Animation meets real people is pretty fresh concept . But , changing G-Dragon to an animated character is total mistake and the animation itself is pretty stiff plus GD’s not-so-good acting skill which made this MV pretty failed , sporting in fantasy colours , etc. he doesn’t make it as catchy as Heartbreaker and the video itself doesn’t WOW me at all . BORING , very boring , indeed .
Thank God , the song is beautiful and heartwarming enough .
MBLAQ : original , maybe sometimes looks like 2PM . But , in fact MBLAQ is very Rain . Well , it doesn’t matter since Rain is the one who owns the agency where MBLAQ were released . Well , lots of studs , black items mixed with neon colours . Black , lebay(aka too much) and lots of assymetrical cuts , and sometimes also reminds us of the “metrosexual” DBSK and costume-lover SS501 .
B2ST/BEAST : Not so original . Combining Big Bang and SHINee plus 2NE1 . You can see GDragon , CL , TOP , MinHo and Key there . You can see them clearly , right?
These are SHINee and Big Bang :
GDRAGON of Big Bang
Taemin of SHINee
TOP of Big Bang
MinHo of SHINee
Key of SHINee
CL of 2NE1
2. Song
my vote goes to bad girl .Simply , the song is upbeat , dancefloor-friendly and fun .
3. Video
My vote goes to B2ST for being not-too-monotone and because they used lots of places

So , which one do you prefer ? MBLAQ or B2ST ? Black versus White .
We all know that Hongki is far skinnier than Kang In which makes him look cuter(a lot) than Kang In and IMO , Hongki is much outstanding than Kang In . His style is just sooooo hot-fashionatic-anime-guy-turns-reality . Enough said , Hongki is a cool fun guy .
