Kristen Stewart Gugup Saat Cium Taylor Lautner
Kristen Stewart mengakui kalau beradegan ciuman tak selamanya mudah. Pasalnya ia merasakan kesulitan tersebut ketika berciuman dengan Taylor Lautner dalam film ketiga ‘Twilight Saga: Eclipse’. Menurutnya Stewart jadi gugup ketika harus mencium temannya untuk pertama kali.
“Salah satu adegan yang paling menantang mungkin saat akhirnya harus mencium Jacob (karakter yang diperankan Lautner) untuk pertama kalinya...saat Taylor Lautner dan aku berciuman, terasa seperti perbedaan yang dinamis. Aku sangat gugup,” ungkap Stewart dalam wawancara di Parade magazine.
Tak hanya itu, Stewart juga mengaku bisa masuk dalam perannya sebagai Bella Swan lantaran mereka memiliki kepribadian yang serupa. Stewart mengaku dirinya sosok yang tak malu mengakui dirinya apa adanya walau terkadang juga membuat kesalahan. Dia juga mengaku merasa nyaman dengan dirinya sendiri lantaran mengakui apapun yang dirasakannya pada orang lain.“Aku merasa seperti sudah berhasil jika aku melakukan sesuatu yang membuatku bahagia dan aku tidak berbohong pada orang lain. Itulah kenapa aku merasa baik dengan diriku sendiri saat ini,” terangnya.

KNIGHT AND DAY
Miller (Tom Cruise), seorang agen rahasia, kencan buta dengan June Havens (Cameron Diaz), yang jatuh cinta pada Miller disaat yang tidak tepat dan akhirnya melibatkannya dalam perjalanan yang mengejutkan dan tak terduga. Keadaan semakin rumit ketika mantan ketua mata-mata Miller menghubungi June dan mengklaim bahwa Miller menderita gangguan psikotik, membuat June bingung menentukan siapa yang harus ia percaya.
Ulasan
Siapa yang berani meragukan kemampuan akting dua bintang besar Tom Cruise dan Cameron Diaz. Setelah sukses berduet dalam film Vanilla Sky. Kini Tom dan Diaz kembali beradu akting dalam film terbarunya yang berjudul Knight and Day, yang diproduksi oleh 20th Century Fox.
Meski demikian, dalam film kali ini ada sedikit perbedaan dengan film-film Tom Cruise sebelumnya yang selalu tampil serius dengan scene-scene penuh aksi. Tapi dalam film garapan sutradara James Mangold ini, film yang bertemakan tentang agen spionase tersebut dikemas dengan banyolan-banyolan segar.
Film ini berawal dengan June Havens yang diperankan oleh Cameron Diaz yang ingin pulang ke Boston untuk menghadiri pernikahan sang adik, tetapi nasib berkata lain, dibandara ia bertemu dengan Roy Miller yang diperankan oleh Tom Cruise, seorang agen mata-mata yang diburu pemerintah Amerika Serikat karena dituduh ingin menjual baterai yang menghasilkan energy tak terbatas.
Petualangan mereka pun berlanjut hingga keliling dunia guna menghindari kejaran agen CIA dan penyeledup senjata asal Spanyol Antonio Quintana yang diperankan oleh Jordi Molla untuk merebut baterai yang diciptakan oleh seorang pemuda jenius bernama Simon Peck (Paul Dano).
Sementara itu film berdurasi 110 menit ini secara garis besar telah mencapai tujuannya yang mengangkat film ini dalam genre action komedi. Pasalnya sang sutradara mampu memberikan adegan-adegan perkelahian layaknya film action, namun dapat menghibur penonton dengan munculnya karakter June yang masyarakat awam berpetualang dengan seorang agen rahasia berpengalaman.
Tetapi yang lebih terpenting adalah kejelian dari sang sutradara James Mangold yang mampu mengkolaborasikan antara Tom Cruise yang identik dengan film action seperti Mision Impossible dipadukan dengan peran Cameron Diaz yang juga membuktikan kalau dirinya bisa membuat film ini penuh dengan canda dan menarik perhatian penonton.
Masih penasaran? Tentunya sangat disayangkan kalau pencinta Tom Cruise dan Cameron Diaz melewatkan film ini. Buruan tonton adegan-adegan konyolnya yang telah dirilis di bioskop pada 23 Juni 2010 kemarin.Pemain :
- Tom Cruise, Cameron Diaz, Maggie Grace, Peter Sarsgaard, Marc Blucas
TOY STORY 3
Woody dan Buzz menyadari bahwa pemilik mereka, Andy, akan tumbuh dewasa dan apa yang akan terjadi ketika saat itu tiba?
Kali ini, Andy bersiap-siap menghadapi kuliah, meninggalkan mainan kesayangannya yang mempertanyakan masa depan mereka yang tak pasti.
Review
Film ‘Toy Story ‘ merupakan sebuah film bergenre drama animasi yang menceritakan tokoh woody dan Buzz beserta jenis mainan lainnya yang dimiliki seorang anak laki-laki bernama Andy.
Dalam film ‘Toy Story 3’ ini menceritakan tentang para mainan yang merasa khawatir karena pemiliknya Andy, mulai merambah besar dan tidak akan memainkan mereka lagi, karena Andy harus masuk ke perguruan tinggi dan meninggalkan mereka.
‘Toy Story 3’ ini berhasil mencuri perhatian penonton karena memberikan sebuah petulangan baru yang dilakukan oleh Woody dan kawan-kawan lainnya. Tak hanya itu, film ini sukses mencapai tujuannya dengan menyentuh hati para penontonnya tentang perasaan memiliki antara mainan dan pemiliknya.
Dalam film kali ini, ‘Toy Story’ ditampilkan dalam format tiga dimensi, sehingga petulangan dari Buzz dan kawan-kawan semakin terasa nyata.
Tetapi yang lebih penting dari hal itu semua, sang sutradara mampu memberikan pesan moral kepada penontonnya tentang arti sebuah kasih sayang.

THE LOSERS
Setelah misi di Bolivia gagal, sekelompok ahli militer yang diyakini tewas membuat rencana untuk menemukan dan membunuh "Max" (Jason Patric), tokoh misterius yang memberi perintah untuk membunuh mereka. Dibantu oleh Aisha (Zoë Saldana) yang memiliki motif sendiri untuk menemukan Max.
Tema cerita serupa dengan film garapan sutradara Sylvain White iin sebelumnya sudah pernah ada. Hanya saja latar belakang yang ditapilkan berbeda.
Cerita dimulai ketika lima orang pasukan khusus Franklin Clay (Dean Morgan), William Roque (Idris Elba), Jake Jensen (Chris Evans), Linwood "Pooch" Porteous (Columbus Short) dan Carlos "Cougar" Alvarez (Óscar Jaenada) diperintah oleh Max (Jason Patric) untuk membunuh raja narkoba di Bolivia.
Karena pasukan tersebut tidak menjalankan sesuai prosedur akhirnya Max mencoba membunuh kelima orang tersebut. Nasib beruntung masih berpihak pasukan ini, mereka luput dari pembunuhan dan Max yakin kalau mereka telah benar-benar mati.
Pasukan yang dikomandoi Clay ini sepakat kalau mereka benar-benar mati. Bermodal dengan kemampuan seadanya mereka mencari uang untuk balik ke Amerika dan menuntut balas pada Max.
Beruntung mereka bertemu dengan wanita seksi Aisha al-Fadhil (Zoe Saldana) yang belakangan diketahui kalau ia adalah puteri raja narkoba yang mati itu.
Dengan motif berbeda ingin balas dendam pada Clay, Aisha sanggup membiayai dan mengantarkan pasukan ini ke Max di Amerika.
Film yang diangkat dari komik dengan judul yang sama ini tak banyak menampilkan teknik dan cerita baru. Adegan berkelahi dan tembak-tembakan sama dengan film action lainnya.
Hanya saja ada adegan yang lumayan seru, saat adegan pasukan itu mencoba membajak mobil yang diduga ditumpangi Max berusaha diangkat dengan magnet di helikopter.
Diakhir cerita juga terdapat salah satu scene yang keren, dimana saat orang kepercayaan Max, Wade (Holt McCallany) mencoba membunuh Clay dengan cara menabrakan motor. Namun Clay berhasil menembak dan mengakibatkan Wade terpental dan masuk ke kipas pesawat yang juga akan menabrak dirinya.

Menurut laporan TMZ, dokemen perceraian tersebut telah ditandatangani pada 27 Juni 2010 lalu di Texas. Aktris yang kini berusia 45 tahun ini sebelumnya telah mengisi dokumen cerai pada 23 April lalu setelah perselingkuhan Jesse terungkap ke public.

Kristen Stewart menganggap menghadiri premiere film sebagai sebuah siksaan berat. Pasalnya sepanjang acara Kristen harus menjadi orang lain, dan jadwal ini membuat dirinya banyak kehilangan waktu untuk dirinya sendiri.
“Setelah acara berakhir saya jadi seperti kelebihan tenaga karena hanya pada waktu itu saya punya waktu untuk diri saya sendiri,” ungkap Kristen Stewart seperti dikutip dari Bang Showbiz.
Akibatnya, pola istirahat Kristen pun jadi kacau. Ia harus begadang semalaman dan esoknya ia masih harus melakukan aktivitas sehari-harinya.
“Akhirnya saya begadang semalaman dan merusak acara untuk keesokan harinya karena kita juga perlu waktu untuk diri kita sendiri,” tambahnnya.
Namun dari banyak keluhan ternyata ada satu yang benar-benar bermasalah bagi Kristen, salah satunya adalah sepatu. “Sepertinya kaki saya sudah benar-benar marah besar karena saya harus mengenakan sepatu hak tinggi. Itu masalah yang paling besar,” terang Kristen yang memang tak bisa menghindar dari premiere karena sejak ia bermain dalam ‘Twilight’.Black Fashion Models 2009

Pulp Fiction Pulp Fiction (1994) Starring: Samuel L. Jackson, Uma Thurman, Harvey Keitel
Pulp Fiction (1994) is an American crime film directed by Quentin Tarantino, who cowrote its screenplay with Roger Avary. The film is known for its rich, eclectic dialogue, ironic mix of humor and violence, nonlinear storyline, and host of cinematic allusions and pop culture references. The film was nominated for seven Oscars, including Best Picture; Tarantino and Avary won for Best Original Screenplay. It was also awarded the Palme d'Or at the 1994 Cannes Film Festival. A major critical and commercial success, it revitalized the career of its leading man, John Travolta, who received an Academy Award nomination, as did costars Samuel L. Jackson and Uma Thurman.
Directed in a highly stylized manner, Pulp Fiction joins the intersecting storylines of Los Angeles mobsters, fringe players, small-time criminals, and a mysterious briefcase. Considerable screen time is devoted to conversations and monologues that reveal the characters' senses of humor and perspectives on life. The film's title refers to the pulp magazines and hardboiled crime novels popular during the mid-20th century, known for their graphic violence and punchy dialogue. Pulp Fiction is self-referential from its opening moments, beginning with a title card that gives two dictionary definitions of "pulp". The plot, in keeping with most of Tarantino's other works, is presented out of chronological sequence.
The picture's self-reflexivity, unconventional structure, and extensive use of homage and pastiche have led critics to describe it as a prime example of postmodern film. Considered by some critics a black comedy,[3] the film is also frequently labeled a "neo-noir".[4] Critic Geoffrey O'Brien argues otherwise: "The old-time noir passions, the brooding melancholy and operatic death scenes, would be altogether out of place in the crisp and brightly lit wonderland that Tarantino conjures up. [It is] neither neo-noir nor a parody of noir".[5] Similarly, Nicholas Christopher calls it "more gangland camp than neo-noir",[6] and Foster Hirsch suggests that its "trippy fantasy landscape" characterizes it more definitively than any genre label.[7] Pulp Fiction is viewed as the inspiration for many later movies that adopted various elements of its style. The nature of its development, marketing, and distribution and its consequent profitability had a sweeping effect on the field of independent cinema (although it is not an independent film itself). A cultural watershed, Pulp Fiction's influence has been felt in several other media.
Cast
John Travolta as Vincent Vega: Tarantino cast Travolta in Pulp Fiction only because Michael Madsen, who had a major role—Vic Vega—in Reservoir Dogs, chose to appear in Kevin Costner's Wyatt Earp instead. Madsen was still rueing his choice over a decade later.[35] Harvey Weinstein pushed for Daniel Day-Lewis in the part.[36] Travolta accepted a bargain rate for his services—sources claim either $100,000 or $140,000—but the film's success and his Oscar nomination as Best Actor revitalized his career.[37] Travolta was subsequently cast in several hits including Get Shorty, in which he played a similar character, and the John Woo blockbuster Face/Off. In 2004, Tarantino discussed an idea for a movie starring Travolta and Madsen as the Vega brothers; the concept remains unrealized.[38]
Samuel L. Jackson as Jules Winnfield: Tarantino had written the part with Jackson in mind, but the actor nearly lost it after his first audition was overshadowed by Paul Calderon's. Jackson assumed the audition was merely a reading. Harvey Weinstein convinced Jackson to audition a second time, and his performance of the final diner scene won over Tarantino.[39] Jules was originally scripted with a giant afro, but Tarantino and Jackson agreed on the Jheri-curled wig seen in the film.[40] (One reviewer took it as a "tacit comic statement about the ghettoization of blacks in movies".)[41] Jackson received an Oscar nomination for Best Supporting Actor. Calderon appears in the movie as Paul, Marsellus's right-hand man.
Uma Thurman as Mia Wallace: Miramax favored Holly Hunter or Meg Ryan for the role. Alfre Woodard and Meg Tilly were also considered, but Tarantino wanted Thurman after their first meeting.[42][43] She dominated most of the film's promotional material, appearing on a bed with cigarette in hand. She was nominated for the Best Supporting Actress Oscar and was launched into the celebrity A-list. She took little advantage of her newfound fame, choosing not to do any big-budget films for the next three years.[44] Thurman would later star in Tarantino's two Kill Bill movies.
Bruce Willis as Butch Coolidge: Willis was a major star, but most of his recent films had been box-office disappointments. As described by Peter Bart, taking a role in the modestly budgeted film "meant lowering his salary and risking his star status, but the strategy...paid off royally: Pulp Fiction not only brought Willis new respect as an actor, but also earned him several million dollars as a result of his gross participation."[47] Willis's appearance and physical presence were crucial to Tarantino's interest in casting him: "Bruce has the look of a 50s actor. I can't think of any other star that has that look."[17]
Harvey Keitel as Winston Wolf or simply "The Wolf": The part was written specifically for Keitel, who had starred in Tarantino's Reservoir Dogs and was instrumental in getting it produced. In the filmmaker's words, "Harvey had been my favorite actor since I was 16 years old."[48] Keitel had played a character similarly employed as a "cleaner" in Point of No Return, released a year earlier.
Tim Roth as "Pumpkin" or "Ringo": Roth had starred in Reservoir Dogs alongside Keitel and was brought on board again. He had used an American accent in the earlier film, but uses his natural, London one in Pulp Fiction. Though Tarantino had written the part specifically with Roth in mind, TriStar head Mike Medavoy preferred Johnny Depp or Christian Slater.[49]
Amanda Plummer as Yolanda or "Honey Bunny": Tarantino wrote the role for Plummer, specifically to partner Roth onscreen. Roth had introduced the actress and director, telling Tarantino, "I want to work with Amanda in one of your films, but she has to have a really big gun."[50] Plummer followed up with director Michael Winterbottom's Butterfly Kiss, in which she plays a serial killer.
Maria de Medeiros as Fabienne: Butch's girlfriend. Tarantino met the Portuguese actress while traveling with Reservoir Dogs around the European film festival circuit.[13] She had previously costarred with Thurman in Henry & June (1990), playing Anaïs Nin.
Ving Rhames as Marsellus Wallace: Before Rhames was cast, the part was offered to Sid Haig, who had appeared in many classic exploitation movies of the 1970s. Haig passed on the role.[51] According to Bender, Rhames gave "one of the best auditions I've ever seen."[43] His acclaimed performance led to his being cast in big-budget features such as Mission Impossible, Con Air, and Out of Sight.[52]
Eric Stoltz as Lance: Vincent's drug dealer. Courtney Love later reported that Kurt Cobain was originally offered the role of Lance; if he had taken it, Love would have played the role of his wife.[53] Tarantino, however, denies that he ever even met Cobain, much less offered him a role in the movie.[54]
Rosanna Arquette as Jody: Lance's wife. Pam Grier read for the role, but Tarantino did not believe audiences would find it plausible for Lance to yell at her.[55] Grier was later cast as the lead of Tarantino's Jackie Brown. Ellen DeGeneres also read for Jody.[56]
Christopher Walken as Captain Koons: Walken appears in a single scene, devoted to the Vietnam veteran's monologue about the gold watch. In 1993, Walken had appeared in another small but pivotal role in the "Sicilian scene" in the Tarantino-written True Romance.
Schindler's List Schindler's List (1993) Starring: Liam Neeson, Ben Kingsley, Ralph Fiennes
Schindler's List is an 1993 American epic film about Oskar Schindler, a German businessman who saved the lives of more than a thousand Polish-Jewish refugees during the Holocaust by employing them in his factories.

It stars Liam Neeson as Schindler, Ralph Fiennes as Schutzstaffel (SS) officer Amon Göth, and Ben Kingsley as Schindler's Jewish accountant Itzhak Stern.
The film was a box office success and recipient of seven Academy Awards, including Best Picture, Best Director, and Best Original Score, as well as numerous other awards (7 BAFTAs, 3 Golden Globes). In 2007, the American Film Institute (AFI) ranked the film 8th on its list of the 100 best American films of all time (up one position from its 9th place listing on the 1998 list).

The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring (2001)
The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring is a 2001 fantasy adventure film directed by Peter Jackson based on the first volume of J. R. R. Tolkien's The Lord of the Rings (1954–1955). Set in Middle-earth, the story tells of the Dark Lord Sauron, who is seeking the One Ring. The Ring has found its way to the young hobbit Frodo Baggins (Elijah Wood). The fate of Middle-earth hangs in the balance as Frodo and eight companions form the Fellowship of the Ring, and begin their journey to Mount Doom in the land of Mordor: the only place where the Ring can be destroyed.
Released on December 19, 2001, the film was highly acclaimed by critics and fans alike, especially as many of the latter judged it to be the most sufficiently faithful adaption of the original story out of Jackson's film trilogy. It was a major box office success, earning over $870 million worldwide, and the second highest grossing film of 2001 in the U.S. and worldwide (behind Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone) which made it the 5th highest grossing film ever at the time. Today it is the 19th highest grossing worldwide film of all time. It won four Academy Awards and five BAFTAs, including Best Film and Best Director BAFTA awards. The Special Extended DVD Edition was released on November 12, 2002 and is now discontinued. In 2007, The Fellowship of the Ring was voted number 50 on the American Film Institute's list of 100 greatest American films. The AFI also voted it the second greatest fantasy film of all time during their AFI's 10 Top 10 special.
Awards
In 2002, the movie won four Academy Awards out of thirteen nominations. The winning categories were for Best Cinematography, Best Effects (Visual Effects), Best Makeup, and Best Music (Original Score). Despite its praise by fans, the other nominated categories of Best Actor in a Supporting Role (Ian McKellen), Best Art Direction-Set Decoration, Best Director, Best Editing, Best Music (Best Song) (Enya, Nicky Ryan and Roma Ryan for "May It Be"), Best Picture, Best Sound, Costume Design and Best Writing (Best Screenplay Based on Material Previously Produced or Published) were not won.
As of June 2010, it is the 19th highest grossing film worldwide, with takings of US$870,761,744 from worldwide theatrical box office receipts.[1]
The movie won the 2002 Hugo Award for Best Dramatic Presentation. It also won Empire readers' Best Film award, as well as five BAFTAs, including Best Film, the David Lean Award for Direction, the Audience Award (voted for by the public), Best Special Effects, and Best Make-up.
In June 2008, AFI revealed its "Ten top Ten"—the best ten films in ten "classic" American film genres—after polling over 1,500 people from the creative community. The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring was acknowledged as the second best film in the fantasy genre.

This resulted in Coppola being the second director in Hollywood history to have two films released in the same year nominated for Best Picture. (The first was Alfred Hitchcock in 1941 with Foreign Correspondent and Rebecca, which won. This achievement was matched by Herbert Ross in 1977 with The Goodbye Girl and The Turning Point and again with Steven Soderbergh in 2000, when the films Erin Brockovich and Traffic were both nominated for Best Picture.)
The film was the first sequel to win the Academy Award for Best Picture.
