Arina Ephipania


A few of good things were coming to me in these past days.
Yesterday, I got photographed together with Arina Ephipania.
For you who don't know her. She is the vocalist of Mocca. ~one of my favorite local bands.~
I also got a calendar from her and had a little chat. 




That was a small gig that took place in Dago Plaza foodcourt. The event name was 9coustic, held by 99ers Radio Bandung. The artists were Utopia, Cokelat, Mocca, (the rising star) Raisa Andriana, and the other 'kroco's. :p

Mocca's musics are written in story-telling lyrics. With Arina's beautiful voice the musics become just great.
You should listen to their musics or watch their gigs. Beside that, Arina is just sooo adorable.
The 2nd most adorable girl.. :)

First Post for Chloe (2010)

My name is Muhammad Mukti Pradana. I am 21 years, 6 months and 8 days old when making this post.
And yes, this is my first post.. :)

~I love watching movies a lot, and I'd like to share to you guys about (almost) every movie as I will have seen. Whether if it's good or kinda good..
So this is my first movie review..


Chloe (2010)
directed by Atom Egoyan



One of -if I may say- drama, romance, psychological, simple puzzle, and a slight of thriller touch movie.

It was telling about a middle twenty woman named Chloe (Amanda Seyfried) who played her role as a hooker. And there was this three-persons little family; Mr. David Stewart (Liam Neeson), Mrs. Catherine Stewart (Julianne Moore) and their son named Michael Stewart (Somebody :p)

Anyway, it began with Mr. Stewart that happened to be a cool and charming middle-forty professor who teaches at one of New York universities.
There was that day when Mr. Stewart was having his birthday and his wife were holding a surprise party for him at home, their home was in a pretty small town that (I assume) pretty far from New York. ~it's because Mr. Stewart had to flight to New York every time he was going to teaches.

However, it turned out that Mr. Stewart didn't either want or need that surprise party. So, that day he decided to intentionally missed his flight to his home.
As we can guess, Mrs. Stewart got disappointed easily even though she covered it and played I'm-okay card. The next day this early-forty lady accidentally checked her husband's phone inbox. She found a picture of her husband and one of his girl student in a frame.

Couldn't believe her so-beloved husband cheated on her, one (silly) thing crossed her mind --> She hired a hooker to teased and tempted his charming hubby and had her gave the report after that. She desperately wanted to know if her husband would having an affair or not.
And yes! It was that Chloe whom she hired. 

Yap, this is the point of the movie I think.. Let me put it between quotes and have it typed in italic like those awesome reviewers would always do.. 
 
 
"If the one you love was lying to you, how far would you go to find out the truth?"

Okay, so where the psychological, puzzle, and thrilling parts that I mentioned earlier? All I've been blabbering about is a cliché drama story that has been filmed in some movies in these past years.

Well, I can tell you it's not really a love drama movie you and your boy/girlfriend want to spent the Saturday nite with. Believe me, cuddling won't be necessary.. :p
The proportion of drama plus romance is about 10% only ~IMO~

Anyhow, it continued that Chloe was doing her job as she was told by Mrs. Steward. But, about a quarter before the movie ends, it turned out that Chloe was manipulating her report to Mrs. Stewart (You'll smell a little puzzle here). You would sense more about the psychological and the thrilling parts afterward.

It's better that I don't spoil the rest of the story, you should watch it sometimes. It was a pretty good movie.
Well, like some kind of an IMDB expert reviewers, I'll give 7 out of 10 for Chloe..

So, this will be my closure line, feel free to comment and find some typos.. :)



P.S. : Amanda Seyfried was very beautiful in this movie, and sexy too (or too sexy) :p
