Rumah Dara Film Berkualitas

Telenovela Lola - Film Rumah Dara yang merupakan salah satu Film yang akan menjadi Film terlaruis sata ini, nampaknya mendapat respon yang cukup positif dari masyarakat luas. Filmini tidak seperti Film Suster Keramas ataupun Film ASir Terjun Pengantin yang dibintangi Tamara Bleszynki Yang tampil nyaris bugil dan hampir telanjang itu.

Film Rumah Dara layak diotonton dan kita akan mendapatkan seautu hiburan yang cukup menyegarkan pikiran kita juga yang sedang kusut serta pusing. Rumah dara dibintangi artis - artis yang cukup punya nama dalam dunia FilmIndonesia saat ini.

Directed by Timo Tjahjanto and Kimo Stamboel, “Rumah Dara” (“Dara’s House”) injects fresh blood into the veins of Indonesia’s horror film industry, presenting the audience with 95 minutes of bone-chilling slashing combined with a heart-pumping manhunt.

The film cuts right to the chase. Ladya (Julie Estelle) and her crew are on their way back to Jakarta, when their car suddenly swerves to avoid hitting a seemingly lost woman. Her name is Maya (Imelda Therinne) and she tells them that she has been robbed and asks for a lift home.

Upon arriving at her house, the travelers accept Maya’s invitation to enter, and they join her mother, Dara (Shareefa Daanish), and her brothers, Adam (Arifin Putra) and Armand (Ruli Lubis), for a delicious dinner.

However, it turns out that the food has been laced with poison and the guests soon become a meal for their hosts’ twisted appetites. From this point on, it’s all blood and gore.

Slashings with knives, decapitation with a chainsaw and a stabbing with a hair pin are samples of the gore that makes up a large part of the movie. Those with a weak stomach may want to think twice before entering the cinema.

Unfortunately, the movie has been a victim of censorship, so the graphic portrayals of the slayings, which are usually an essential element in a slasher movie, have been cut. But this is not so much the filmmaker’s fault as it is the system’s.

Although the special effects are nowhere near Hollywood’s level, “Rumah Dara” still manages to wreak mind-numbing terror upon the audience.

The setting is compellingly spooky: an old Dutch colonial house set in the middle of nowhere with old-fashioned furniture, antique weapons and deer heads hanging on the walls for decor. It all screams eeriness.

Combine this with back-and-forth chase scenes, which have a degree of resemblance to the classic “Texas Chainsaw Massacre,” it does a fair job in creating claustrophobic fright.

There is also a great deal of blood, and at one point, the screen is almost entirely covered in red. The movie is such a bloodbath, it wouldn’t be surprising if members of the audience left the theater with an urge to take a shower.

But the strongest, and scariest, elements of the movie come from the characterization of Dara’s disturbed family.

First, there’s the diabolical siblings. Adam is handsome, charming and well-built, but at the same time supernaturally strong and lethal. Female audiences may love him at first sight — that is, until he effortlessly breaks a bone in half.

Maya is the foxy and seductive daughter who, when angry, turns into an obsessive and psychotic girlfriend.

Bespectacled Armand, who provides the most convincing performance of the trio, is a chubby surgeon who deals with the dismembering of the victims’ bodies. He licks and gropes the female prey before dissecting them.

And then there’s the chainsaw-carrying mother, Dara. Sporting a red cardigan on top of a white dress, she has a haunting pair of eyes, a peculiar face and a chilly personality. But her most distinctive trait, one that may linger in the audience’s mind for a few days, is her disturbingly deep voice.

Shareefa’s compelling performance as Dara single-handedly turns this movie into a memorable festivity of terror, while the actors who play the roles of the children deserve recognition as their solid performances combine to make one scary family.

However, “Rumah Dara” is not without its downfalls.

The most obvious derives from a classic flaw in the identity of Indonesia’s horror film industry: The inability to avoid adding elements of slapstick comedy, exemplified by the presence of comedian Aming. It is not only unnecessary, but it ruins the movie’s integrity as a horror film.

Another flaw is that the reason behind the family’s murders is revealed quite early in the film. Their motive is rather disappointing, and the bad timing greatly reduces the sense of mystery.

Unsurprisingly, the ending sets up the opportunity for a sequel. Based on the terror that has been wrought in “Rumah Dara,” it would only be fair to offer horror buffs a second helping of gore.

‘Rumah Dara’ (‘Dara’s House’)
Directed by Timo Tjahjanto, Kimo Stamboel
Starring Shareefa Daanish, Julie Estelle, Imelda Therinne, Arifin Putra, Ario Bayu, Daniel Manta
95 minutes

A City of Lights and Magic

Amor Real Telenovela - It had been an exciting day already: my helicopter ride with Niagara Helicopter had given me a close-up aerial view over Niagara Falls and my visit to the Niagara Falls Butterfly Conservatory had made for a perfect winter escape to a tropical sanctuary. But more adventure was yet to come.

Appropriately strengthened from my very late lunch at “The Famous”, a 24-hour upscale diner at the Niagara Falls view Casino Resort, I was ready for my evening explorations. First on the menu was the Niagara Falls Winter Festival of Lights. Every year from early November to early January, more than 125 animated lighting displays decorate the city. In total more than three million lights illuminate the Niagara Parks Winter Wonderland.

Just driving out of the Niagara Falls view Casino Resort I was greeted by lighting displays in the form of white and blue snowflakes that were mounted on the light poles. On my left hand side at the end of Murray Street I drove by an entire collection of illuminated characters called the “Enchantment of Disney” displays. I turned right onto the Niagara Parkway and shortly behind the Horseshoe Falls I was greeted by the Canada/US Illuminated Flag.

I continued my drive southwards along the Niagara River and reached an area referred to as Duffer-in Islands whose circular roadway featured an extensive collection of illuminated displays called “The Great Canadian Outdoors”. Trees were decorated in thousands of colorful lights and a whole menagerie of brightly illuminated Canadian animals, including wolves, bears, fish, squirrels, beavers, deer, moose, buffalo and many more flanked the road. The highlight of this area was Noah’s Ark, whose orange, red and green lights were reflecting in the water.

All the lighting displays of the Niagara Falls Festival of Lights can be viewed free of charge, but a group of volunteers was available at the end of the Duffer in Islands displays to accept donations which go to enhance the lights and displays. The Winter Wonderland along the Niagara Parkway includes other lighted displays such as a horse & carriage, an arrangement of grapes and wine, a menorah and a nativity scene. Even a display of Royal Canadian Mounted Police Officers stood on guard.

The Enchantment of Disney displays at the foot of Murray Street include such popular Disney characters as Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs, Beauty and the Beast, The Lion King, the Little Mermaid, Sleeping Beauty, Mickey Mouse and Disney’s Pixar Cars. In addition to the lighting displays, the Niagara Falls Festival of Lights also features frequent fireworks which are scheduled to run daily between December 26, 2007 and January 6, 2008.

Together with the colorfully illuminated waterfalls these displays made for a truly enchanted environment. The mighty Niagara Falls themselves are illuminated throughout the entire year, a tradition that has been institutionalized since 1925 when the Niagara Falls Illumination Board was put in charge of illumination. But special lighting displays of the Falls were undertaken much earlier, for example in 1860 when a spectacular light display of the Falls celebrated a visit by the Prince of Wales. In 1901 special lighting was installed as part of the Pan American Exposition that was being held in Buffalo. Six year later, the General Electric Company illuminated the Falls for several weeks with 36 powerful projectors.

In 1925, 24 carbon searchlights were installed that created a total of 1,320,000,000 candlepower. Since then the Falls have been illuminated most nights other than during WWII when power was turned off and during the next few years after the war when there was a power shortage due to a construction boom. Nowadays the Falls are illuminated daily at least until 10 pm at night, and from May to December until midnight.

Now I would have a chance to see the illumination process first-hand through a visit to the “Illumination Tower”, which is really a former surge tank for one of the now closed power plants that surround the Niagara River. I parked my vehicle at the Falls view Casino again, walked by the restaurant and retail complex at Queen Victoria Place and right to the heavy set circular illumination tower that reminded me of an early medieval Norman-style castle tower. I found a little bell in the back of the building and rang a couple of times before the door was answered by 76-year old Pete Gordon, star of the show and a lighting operator for the Niagara Parks Commission for 47 years. Pete had not expected any visitors, but graciously let me into the office area of the Illumination Tower. This special visit had been arranged for me by the Niagara Parks Commission.

Pete used to work as a painter for the Niagara Parks Commission, but together with another colleague he has been operating the lights illuminating the Falls for almost half a century. On work days he is usually there from 5 to 12 pm, creating a colorful light display on the majestic Niagara Falls. Pete mentioned that in the early part of the past century the general public was able to go up on top of the Illumination Tower, but due to insurance issues, the tower is closed today to the general public.

After this brief introduction Pete then took me onto the outside viewing platform that houses 18 very large searchlights, each equipped with colored screens to produce different lighting effects on the huge waterfalls. From here we had a great view of the entire Niagara River, including the American Falls and the Canadian Horseshoe Falls. Pete then took me into the control room and showed me some rather ancient-looking control panels which reminded me of an outdated fuse panel, with each color identified by white, red, green, blue, and yellow knobs. Pete even let me operate the controls and made me create my very own lighting combination of the Falls. After I had done all my color mixing on the panel inside Pete took me outside to the viewing platform and we actually checked out the color mix that I had just created.

When the lights overlap they create additional color combinations and the final product of my attempts was a mix of light blue, yellow, pink and purple. I admit I was rather tickled pink at the realization that I had just changed the colors on the Canadian Horseshoe Falls. Back inside the building Pete explained that the huge lights creating this symphony of color were actually searchlights used during WWII in London during the Battle of Britain. He even pulled out one of the light bulbs used in the search lights, which, incidentally, is made by Osram Sylvania, a German company, and carries a price tag of up to $2000. Today the Falls are illuminated with 500 million candle power. I thought it was rather ironic that these historic searchlights which were meant to protect the city of London from German air attacks during WWII nowadays actually relied on German technology for their illumination power.

Pete, having lived in Niagara Falls all his life, is a great fan of his home town and also has in depth knowledge of this city. He told me the story of the Honeymoon Bridge, which collapsed in 1938 due to an ice jam in the gorge which pushed this steel arch road bridge off its foundation. He even showed me some old photographs of this bridge, before and after its collapse and added that he still remembers seeing the collapsed bridge. He must have been just about six years old at the time.

Niagara Fall’s colorful history is evidenced by another disastrous event that Pete remembers first-hand. A hydro power station with the name of Schoellkopf Power Plant, built in 1895, had been located on the American side of the Niagara River. On June 7, 1956 water had been seeping through a wall and cracks were widening rapidly, despite the workers’ best efforts to stem the flow of water with sandbags. All of a sudden a loud rumble could be heard and the power plant’s wall started to collapse. Moments later the entire southern part of the power station fell into the river below. Debris was thrown as far as the Canadian side of the gorge and one power station worker lost his life. This is just one of the many colorful historic events in Niagara Falls that Pete Gordon remembers first-hand.

I was curious what Pete actually does during his seven hour shift. He said he changes the color combinations manually every two minutes or so. In between he reads or does crossword puzzles and added that he never feels lonely. Occasionally he gets a special visit from Australian, Japanese, Dutch or Chinese tour groups, and he mentioned that particularly the Japanese travel groups really enjoy the experience of the Illumination Tower. I was admiring the dozens of international, mostly Japanese business cards on the wall. Even celebrities such as Danny DeVito, Rita Perlman and Robert Urich have visited the Illumination Tower.

Before I left, Pete extended a special invitation to me: whenever I planned to return to Niagara Falls he would take me on a personal tour of his home town and show me all the special spots. I am definitely planning to take him up on that and thought to myself that the City of Niagara Falls could not wish for a better ambassador than Pete Gordon who has so much pride and affection for his home town.

Inspired from this almost magical experience in the Illumination Tower I was ready for my last adventure of the day: my first live Magic Show. I drove five minutes into the Clifton Hill area and arrived at the Greg Frewin Theater. As I entered, a large tour group was just enjoying a dinner buffet and started to file into the theater and take their spots. I had a chance to sit down with Greg Frewin, the Grandmaster of Magic himself, shortly before the show and get to know this master illusionist a little bit.

Despite his impressive international credentials, Greg Frewin is actually a local boy who hails from Stoney Creek, Ontario, just up the street from Niagara Falls. It became clear very early on that he was fascinated by magic when his grandfather showed him some magic tricks. In grade 9 he met a gentleman who had taken a basic magic course and Greg wanted to learn from him, but this man would not take any students. But Greg insisted, and a week later he got a call back and became this magician’s only student. His teacher became a full-time magician, and Greg shared the same goal, but his parents did not take his career decision seriously.

So he finished high school and worked as a waiter at a local Keg Restaurant for five years. But he continued with his studies of magic, started to enter competitions and perform at small corporate parties. He finally won a National Competition in the United States and came in first among 600 magicians. After this big breakthrough the industry took notice, and international agents from Europe and Japan started approaching Greg. He ended up working in places like Yokohama, Osaka, Tokyo, Taiwan and China, and toured Europe for several months on a cruise boat. He also worked on full-time assignments in France and Germany.

A successful career in Las Vegas followed with appearances on top stages such as The Flamingo Hilton, Caesar’s Palace and the Tropicana. Greg’s skills as an illusionist have received many great international awards: he won first place in numerous international magic convention competitions, winning out over hundreds of other talented magicians, and won the first ever Magician of the Year award bestowed by the Canadian Association of Magicians. More than 35 TV specials have featured the skilled magic act of Greg Frewin. For the first two years at his own theater, all the Friday and Saturday night performances have been sold out and during the summer tickets are always in high demand.

Two years ago Greg’s life took a different turn with the creation of the Greg Frewin Theater in Niagara Falls, Ontario. With a young family he now has a more settled lifestyle although he still works extremely long hours. For example, he personally looks after the animals that participate in his show: five tigers, a mountain lion, a cougar, various pigeons and parrots as well as Chuck the Duck. Even after finishing a magic show at 11 pm Greg still drives his animals home and feeds them. One of his Siberian tigers, Boomer, was rejected by his mother as a baby and Greg adopted him. He has been looking after Boomer since he was eight days old. Greg added that his animal training techniques are based on positive reinforcement and that big cats are just as affectionate as house cats. Yet he still realizes that he is dealing with wild animals and is extremely safety-conscious.

Greg added that in addition to his magic shows, the theater has recently branched out and added other genres, for example Elvis Tribute Artists. This more diverse programming is particularly important during the winter in order to offer a broader variety of entertainment at the theater.

After giving me this great introduction to his background and the world of magic, Greg excused himself since he had to get ready for the show. I took my place in the audience and started chatting to the woman sitting next to me, a convention traveler from Australia. Both she and I were extremely excited about attending our first magic show.

The show began shortly after, and Greg Frewin and his two female assistants appeared on the stage. The music was pumping and Greg was in full control of his act. Greg’s movement and that of his two assistants were crisply choreographed. Two of his tigers made an appearance, pigeons appeared out of nowhere, and even Chuck the Duck mysteriously popped out of a bucket without any possible explanation. Throughout the act Greg’s two assistants Darlene and Jamie-Lynn vanished and reappeared inexplicably right in front of everyone’s eyes.

With the help of a willing audience member Greg even turned a $50 bill into a $1 bill, in plain vision of an incredulous audience, and to the heart-felt chagrin of the person who had donated the $50. One of the big acts of the night was a mind-boggling levitation illusion that seemed to defy any sense of logic or science. I was sitting right in the front row and watched Greg’s every move like a hawk, but after the whole thing was done I was still completely unable to figure out how Greg had pulled off some of his grand illusions. Judging by the large crowd that gathered around Greg after the show to ask for autographs I realized that he is truly an international talent of the highest caliber, a real celebrity magician.

Images of this action-packed day were flashing through my mind as I drove back to my home for the night. Once I arrived at the Best Western Cairn Croft I stretched out on my king-size bed and mentally savored the day’s experiences once again, yet already looking forward to another exciting day tomorrow that would give me a chance to experience a close-up encounter of the majestic waterfalls.

A Brief History of the Internet Before Google

Watch Movie Online, It’s amazing to kids that there was life before Google. How old is the internet they may ask. Only from the 1960’s, how did you survive without the internet? And what no Google. It used to be how did you live before TV or color TV and now it’s “How did you survive before the internet?” Indeed it’s becoming more common among teenagers and even some adults not to have a TV at all. Either they can watch TV on their laptops or desktop computers while many of the most adventurous have given up and forsaken TV altogether in search of much more accurate, relevant and timely information readily available across the wide span of the internet and World Wide Web. Such are the trends of our modern era of communications, mass media and entertainment industries.

Still what is the history of the internet before the advent of Google? The interpret as a collection and connection of computers all connected together somehow began in the later years of the decades of the 1960’s. You might think that the only major events that came out of that era of the 1960’s were rock music and hippies yet another major contribution of that era was that is the foundation and early development of the internet – its system and backbone.

Yet in the beginning it was not even computer geeks who were involved. A collection of scientist of and from major academic institutions wanted to be able to link together to share and exchange information as well as work on projects in a somewhat more integrated fashion. Along with the impetus the military was working towards a system for command, control and communication that would be redundant and never go down in the event of nuclear war. Nuclear war is seemed at the time was not improbable.

Through the integration of the two lines of interest and development the internet evolved, somewhat in tandem. Somehow the scientists and academics never seemed to be able to or get around to asking the crucial question of the military backers of where and how electrical power would be readily available, to power the internet, in the event of a widespread or even limited nuclear war.

However do not imagine for a moment that the internet even paralleled or was even close to what we know today and take for granted in cruising and browsing the internet. There were no “Microsoft Windows” with all its pretty icons point and click, or the Apple Macintosh GUI (Graphic User Interface). The internet at that time was not for the faint of heart, when it came to technical matters or even “plugs and play”.

Instead all those who tried to use the internet, and utilize and learn its vast powers and potential had to work with was even worse than simple text. Not only was the only means of interaction and entering data into the computer only text based – that is by typing, but in addition it all appeared as endless lines of words and text scrolling by. Forget about pictures and a simple click of the mouse. Instead to navigate the computer the user had to type commands, exactly right and correct – absolutely perfectly in arcane often inane computer languages. Commands had to be entirely precise and accurate other wise the computer, its internet connection flow or both would halt dead in the water.

Its amazing how in such a relatively short time the internet as a standardized communication tool has come to become such an integrated as well as essential component in our daily lives, our personal and business communications and in our purchases of good and services. It’s as if the growth of the internet has been on steroids and fed by oxygen.

Alternative Travel Exposed

Camille Grammer - Indonesia Java International Destination, Alternative travel is extremely underrated these days. The majority of people travelling from one major city to another or one country to another would choose to fly rather than use any other method of transport. It is very rare that these individuals actually look into alternative travel methods before booking, and as a result they are missing out on the whole travel experience. On an airplane, you go from one place to another in a matter of hours and only see the clouds. However, if you take the train, boat or road then you will find that you experience far more. The sights you see can be simply amazing and enhance your trip, as well as the whole trip working out to be cheaper. There are many reasons for alternative travel though, and below are just a few:

• The freedom to do as you please - Once you are on an airplane, there is no getting off until you reach your destination. If you see a place that you want to explore than there is simply no way that you can go and take a closer look. However, if you drive past the place in question, or are indeed on a train, then you can stop and explore until you are ready to move on again. This is a major factor as to why individuals choose alternative travel. Alternative travel is an experience and that experience is what you make of it.

• The natural world – From the perspective of a car, train or boat, you can see the world around you and fully experience it as you pass through it. Fields, forests, lakes, seas and various other natural ecosystems and environments can provide an eye opening look at the world in which we live that you would never see from the perspective of a plane. Alternative travel at its finest includes the natural world in all of its glory. Just taking the time to take a closer look will enhance your trip considerably.

• The cost – Alternative travel can often cost far less than flying. This is because there are very few taxes associated with car, train or boat travel. However, federal taxes have increased the cost of the only method of non-alternative travel to the point that it is considerably more expensive and now often make up the majority percentage of the overall cost of the trip. It is far cheaper to travel by road or rail as a result.

The methods of alternative travel are varied that there is something for everyone. Although there has been much made of the state of trains and buses in recent years, there has been an effort to improve them and thus people can now travel in more comfort than had previously been possible. Boat travel is fantastic and definitely deserves a second thought. However, in terms of alternative travel, you cannot beat the car. Flying is a great method of travel if you are travelling abroad, but alternative travel should be considered domestically, for the environment and cost if nothing else!
