THE REVIEW


“FILM REVIEW”


Hello, Do you have seen The Sherlock Holmes Movie?? “Sherlock Holmes” is a 2009 action mystery film based on the character of the same name created by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle. The film was directed by Guy Ritchie and produced by Joel Silver, Lionel Wigram, Susan Downey and Dan Lin. The screenplay by Michael Robert Johnson, Anthony Peckham and Simon Kinberg was developed from a story by Lionel Wigram and Michael Robert Johnson. The film went on general release in the United States on December 25, 2009, and on December 26, 2009, in the UK, Ireland, and the Pacific.

  • Interpretative recount (summary of the movie) :

In 1891 London, Sherlock Holmes (Robert Downey, Jr.) and Dr. John Watson (Jude Law) race to prevent the ritual murder of a girl by Lord Blackwood (Mark Strong), who has killed five other people similarly. They are able to stop the murder just in time. Inspector Lestrade (Eddie Marsan) and the police arrive to make the arrest. Three months later, Blackwood is sentenced to death and requests to see Holmes, who visits him in prison. He warns Holmes of three more impending deaths that will cause great changes to the world. Blackwood is hanged and declared dead by Dr. Watson.

Holmes receives a surprise visit at 221B Baker Street from Irene Adler (Rachel McAdams), a professional thief and his former lover, who asks him to find a missing man named Reordan. After her departure, Holmes discreetly follows her as she meets with a man, her secret employer, hidden in the shadows of a carriage. The concealed man states that Reordan is the key to Blackwood's plans.

Three days later, Blackwood's tomb is destroyed from the inside out. Reordan is found dead inside Blackwood's coffin. A groundskeeper claims to have seen Blackwood walking from the tomb. Following a series of clues from the body, Holmes and Watson find Reordan's home and discover experiments attempting to merge science with magic. Later, Holmes is taken to the Temple of the Four Orders, an occult-dabbling secret society. The leaders, Sir Thomas (James Fox) and Home Secretary Lord Coward (Hans Matheson), ask Holmes to stop Blackwood, a former member of the Order. Sir Thomas and another senior member of the group are later killed through apparently magical means by Blackwood, allowing him to assume control. He plans to push for Britain to retake the United States, weakened by civil war. Lord Coward, who was in league with Blackwood all along, issues a warrant for Holmes' arrest.

When Holmes learns he is wanted by the police he goes into hiding and studies Blackwood's rituals, concluding the next target is British Parliament. Holmes tricks Lord Coward into revealing that the plan is to wipe out the House of Lords and then rejoins Adler and Watson. The three sneak into the sewers beneath Parliament and discover a machine, based on Reordan's experiments, designed to release a cyanide derivative into the Parliament chambers. They fight off Blackwood's men, and remove the cyanide containers from the machine. Adler grabs the cylinders and races away, pursued by Holmes. Blackwood and Coward realize their plan has failed. Blackwood manages to get away while Coward is captured.

Holmes confronts Adler on top of the incomplete Tower Bridge but is interrupted by Blackwood. Holmes tricks him into becoming entangled in the ropes and chains, hanging over the Thames while Holmes recounts the technical trickery behind all of Blackwood's supposed magic. A loose beam falls off the rafter supports, causing Blackwood to fall and die by hanging from the chains.

Adler finally explains that her employer is Professor Moriarty, warning that Moriarty is as intelligent as Holmes but more devious. Later, the police report to Holmes and Watson that a dead officer was found near Blackwood's device. Professor Moriarty used the confrontations with Adler and Blackwood as a diversion while he took a key component from the machine. This prompts Holmes to accept the new case.


  • Evaluation (concluding statement: judgment, opinion or recommendation. It can consist of more than one paragraph.) :

I think Sherlock Holmes is very attractive movie. This film invite us to follow thinking about some case in that film. So, our brain will be grinded. We must follow this film from start until the end to understand the story.

The actors and actress very professional. They can act as like as the character in that film. It make the audience feel amazed when they see this film. When we see this film, we can scream loudly. Because many scene in that film are horrible.

After you see this film, you will addicted to see it again. I’m sure about it. Because this film isn’t bored.

  • Evaluative summation (final opinion: the appraisal or the punchline of the film being criticized) :

Over all, I conclude that Sherlock Holmes is a wonderful movie. At least, I advice you to watch this film and enjoy it!!!

                          “Too Young To Be Married : Good or Bad?”

Hello guys…In this occasion I would like to speak about “Too Young To Be Married : Good or Bad?”

Many opinions about this topic. But, a lot of people said that it is bad. Why?? Of course they have the different reason about it and all of them are right.

OK…now, we will start from different side, from the “Pro Side”. So, too young to be married is good. Do you know why?? Let’s look at the fact about the vagrant in Indonesia. Many of them are children. They are too young to work. So, if they will be married it can decrease the rate of vagrant. And then it can control the free sex in adolescent society. Because we know that a lot of girls pregnant without married. It is caused by free sex.

Many children can’t continue their study. Then they just stay at home and can’t find a job, because they don’t have enough experience. So, it can become the burden for their parents. And then many of them preferred to be married in a young age.

On the other hand, too young to be married is bad. We will talk from the “contra side”. It may cause many negative effects for the bride, especially for women’s health. She isn’t already yet to be married and her reproduction organ too. It is dangerous for their baby. Besides that, the young people do not have enough mental to be married. So, in their new family there are many quarrel between the boy and the girl. Many problem happen and not all of the boy has a job. Some of them are unemployment. So, it can cause a new problem in their family.

OK…now, you have known some opinion about too young to be married : good or bad?? Now, you can share your own opinion. What do you think guys???

"EARTHQUAKE"


From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Jump to: navigation, search

2009 earthquakes
Date 10:16:10, September 30, 2009 (UTC)

Magnitude 7.6 Mw
Depth 87 kilometres (54 mi)

Epicenter location 0°43′30″S 99°51′22″E / 0.725°S 99.856°E
Coordinates: 0°43′30″S 99°51′22″E / 0.725°S 99.856°E

In Indonesia, the earthquake often occured. Because the location of Indonesia is in Eurasian plate. And it between the Australian plate and Philippine plate. For example on September 2009, Sumatra earthquake occurred just off the southern coast of Sumatra, Indonesia. The major shock hit at 17:16:10 local time on September 30, 2009 (10:16:10 UTC) and had a moment magnitude of 7,6. The epicenter was 45 km (28 mi) west-northwest of Padang, Sumatra, and 220 km (140 mi) southwest of Pekanbaru, Sumatra.

Earthquake occurred, because the location is situated within a zone of high seismic activity known as the "Pacific Ring of Fire". Along the Sunda megathrust, the Indo-Australian Plate is being subducted beneath the Eurasian plate. The subduction creates regular earthquakes, many of them of megathrust type. Specifically the Sumatran segment is currently experiencing a period of increased activity that began with the catastrophic 2004 Indian Ocean Earthquake. Each earthquake of the sequence adds additional stresses to segments of the plate boundary that have not moved recently.

Because of its depth and the computed focal mechanism, the first earthquake is thought to have resulted from deformation within the descending Indo-Australian plate, rather than from movement on the plate boundary itself. The second earthquake has been linked to dextral (right-lateral) movement on the Great Sumatran fault which takes up the strike-slip component of the convergence between the two plates.

This disaster cause some effect. After this disaster occurred, tsunami watch was triggered and there are reports of house damage and fires. The communications to the city were disrupted. It make many people and child who still alive in there feel difficult to survival.

I will show you the video of Padang Earthquake.. You must see it!!!
