Named after one of her father’s favorite crocodiles, Bindi Sue Irwin first appeared in

mother, Irwin also appeared in the documentary series, Planet’s Best with Terri and Bindi,
around time.
Though the show only lasted for 26 episodes, Bindi: The Jungle Girl found a second life

In the sequel of ‘Sherlock Holmes’ this time, Professor James Moriarty (Jared Harris) is
the most dangerous enemy. Moriarty is not the kind of person who is hesitant to remove the lives
of many people in order to achieve his goals. Explosions in Strassbourg are one of the result of

This following text is for questions 19 to 21.

Tim Burton’s “Alice in Wonderland” was probably the most anticipated movie of
the year 2010. But is it any good? First of all, I should probably mention that hardcore
Lewis Carroll fans may find it very disappointing. The movie is merely based on the book.
It features most of the same characters and a couple of the same locations, but the story is
completely different.
Alice is no longer a little girl, but an unconventional young woman who has the same
dream of finding herself in Wonderland every night, until one day it happens in real life.
Her arrival was expected. Alice is supposed to save the inhabitants from the evil Red
Queen and get the reign back to her kind sister, the White Queen. She knows nothing
about it, but she is meant to be the knight in shining armor, both figuratively and literally
speaking.

14. The writer mentions that ‘Alice in Wonderland’ movie is…

A. in a girl’s dream.
B. the true story of the writer.
C. a movie taken from a book.

Indonesia’s Biggest Cinematic Achievement

I believe there’s a huge responsibility in adapting the number 1 bestselling novel. The book
was certainly popular and everybody worships this work of Andrea Hirata. I didn’t expect
anything too spectacular from the movie, because as spectacular the book supposedly to be a
letdown.
Laskar Pelangi is no doubt, one of the best Indonesian movies. It beats the Denias:
Senandung di Atas Awan, and Ayat-Ayat Cinta (The Verses of Love). It’s a 5 star masterpiece in
Indonesia, but still deserves 4.5-5 Star in Hollywood stage. The movie contains social and
educational issues and strongly declares that everyone needs education and everyone needs to be
educated. We can learn many life lessons from the movie.
I can’t saying that Laskar Pelangi is a marvelous picture. As a matter of fact, I can’t even
name a flaw! The casts are perfect, as many of the stars are Indonesian leading and popular actors.
Credit to Cut Mini Theo since she brought such a strong performance as a determined teacher.
Author Andrea is a genius since the storyline is beautiful, touching, and engaging at the same time.
So get yourself boxes of Kleenex to watch the movie. Thanks to director Riri Reza and producer
Mira Lesmana for making the movie good and safe it from being a letdown, even the author was
amazed with the crew’s job and state the movies is better than his original writing. In additions,
the movie is exposed the scenery in Belitong Island which is beautiful.

this big motion picture Laskar Pelangi.

Harry Potter and Philosopher’s Stones

Judged by the first volume, the Harry Potter books are a fine addition to English children’s
fantasy literature. Harry Potter, orphaned when his parents are killed by the evil wizard
Voldemort, is taken in by his aunt and uncle, who are Muggles – ordinary, non-magical people.
Harry is rather out of place there, but things improve greatly for him when goes to the Hogwarts
school of Witchcraft and Wizardry – except that one of the staffs is in league with Voldemort.
Part of the attention of Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone comes from the familiar
but at the same time exotic setting of an English public school, complete with houses and the
schoolboy adventures, in which Harry and his friend Ron and Hermione struggle to save the
world and win the house cup.
So Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone will be a great Christmas present for kids who
haven’t read it yet – and it is a book that adults (at least those without stunted imaginations) can
read as well.

Tideland

When I saw Terry Gilliam’s Tideland at the Melbourne Film Festival last year, my
immediate reaction was that the film was unrealizable. Its appearance in Australian cinemas
has obviously proven me wrong. Yet its exposure to a wider population allows the
opportunity to see how many, like me, find the film virtually unwatchable. Gilliam is an
enormously talented filmmaker, and Tideland isn’t bad in any of the usual ways. It’s not
reprehensible, or stupid, or poorly made. But it’s a deeply unpleasant experience that just
doesn’t work at all.
Scripted by Gilliam and Tony Grissoni from Mitch Cullin’s novel, the film tells the
story of a Jeliza-Rose (Jodelle Ferland), a young girl brought up by junkie parents (Jeff
Bridges and Jennifer Tilly). She’s an intelligent girl, and at film’s start seems to be coping
remarkably well with the unhealthy environment in which she is being brought up. However,
after both parents die she is left alone in an empty farmhouse, accompanied only by her dolls
and the slowly rotting corpse of her father. Even when she makes contact with the
neighbours, she is no closer to achieving responsible care: they, too, are deeply disturbed.
Gilliam has the start of a really good idea here, in the way he depicts Jeliza-Rose’s
deteriorating mental health by showing her play becoming increasingly warped and
unhealthy. Yet despite spending a long, long, long time establishing Jeliza-Rose’s fantasy
world, Gilliam can’t really bring that inner life into clear enough focus. He tries to convey
the wonder of the child’s perspective with a sweeping camera and lush, golden
cinematography, but he can never get us inside Jeliza-Rose’s head, and the longer he keeps
at it the more distant from her we become. Worse, his attempts sour into a kind of syrupy
whimsy that recalls Spielberg at his worst.
The film starts with an undercurrent of grotesque humour, and the gothic tone
becomes more overt as the film progresses. As we learn more about Jeliza-Rose’s new
neighbours (and as her father’s decomposition steadily progresses) the film becomes livelier,
but it also becomes increasingly disturbing. The humour becomes more morbid, and the film
itself increasingly hard to watch as it touches on issues of inappropriate sexual relationships
involving both children and the mentally disabled.
Obviously there is a place for films to tackle such challenging themes, and it can also
be expected that when films do so the result may be discomforting. But there is a
corresponding responsibility that such material brings with it. I’m not suggesting there is
anything inappropriate in Gilliam’s message, but rather that his intent is muddled, and that
with such sensitive topics there is a heightened obligation to have control over your material.
Unfortunately, Gilliam raises these issues but doesn’t seem to know how to resolve them.
The end result alternates stretches of boredom with moments of skin-crawling queasiness.
Gilliam has reportedly had to reassure audiences at festivals that it’s okay to laugh, but I
suspect more will be wondering if it’s okay to leave.
It’s a real shame that Tideland is such a miserable experience, because Gilliam, for
all his faults, is one of the most talented filmmakers around, and he already struggles to find
financing for his projects. The film Lost in La Mancha famously chronicled his aborted
version of Don Quixote, which started production but was scuttled without being finished.
Yet I have the feeling that the abandonment of Don Quixote won’t prove as damaging for his
career as the completion of Tideland.

The following text is for questions 40 and 43.

When author Nicholas Sparks sat down to write The Notebook, a tender love story inspired
by the enduring relationship of his wife Cathy's grandparents, he wanted his readers to walk
away with a renewed spirit of hope.
"I'll never forget watching those two people flirt," he recalls. "I mean, you don't see
that very often. They’d been married 67 years, and yet they still loved each other. I wanted to
write a book about that kind of love. I wanted people to know that unconditional love does
exist."
So Sparks created The Notebook, the simple story of Noah Calhoun, a soft spoken
North Carolina outdoorsman who carried his love for the willowy Allie Nelson with him
long after their youthful romance had ended. He paralleled Noah's silent passions with
Allie's haunting thoughts - feelings she could not escape even after she became engaged to
another man. He asked his readers to consider what it might mean if these relatively happy,
middle-aged people found their destinies once again overlapped.
He presented a question all but universal in appeal: What would happen if two people
were given a second chance at the love of a lifetime?
Sparks deftly answers that question. But it's the inspiration drawn from his real life
grandparents that makes The Notebook more than just a novel of flames reignited. The novel
opens and closes with an elderly Noah Calhoun reading aloud from his personal journals and
"notebooks." And as he shares the delicate details, the good with the bad, it's clear he is as
enchanted with Allie in old age as he was on the day they met. "And that’s the legacy of The
Notebook," according to Nicholas Sparks. "When love is real, it doesn't matter what turns
the road takes. When love is real, the joys and possibilities are endless."

“Sang Pencerah” tells the story of Ahmad Dahlan after he was back from the Holy Land of
Mecca. Upon his return from the Holy Land of Mecca, Dervish changed his name to Ahmad
Dahlan. Ahmad Dahlan was troubled on the implementation of the Islamic laws that deviated
toward heresy. It made Islam see as a mystical religion and superstition by the European.
Therefore, Ahmad Dahlan eventually founded a school. The school aimed to make the
awareness that Islam did not only talk about monotheisme, but it was also able to improve
the welfare of people through education. For Ahmad Dahlan, poverty was caused by
ignorance or foolishness. With this in mind, the son of Khatib Kauman Great Mosque started
his efforts.
Beginning with the changing direction of keblat of the Kauman Great Mosque, this
resulted in the fury of the fanatical religious leaders or kyai. So Ahmad Dahlan’s mosque
was destroyed because Ahmad Dahlan was considered teaching cult. He was also accused of
being a pagan or infidel just because how he taught was similar to modern Dutch school.
Not only that, Ahmad Dahlan was also accused as a bad religious chief just because he
was close to the Javanese scholars at Budi Utomo. But, these charges did not make him
discouraged. Accompanied by his beloved wife, Siti Walidah and 5 students, Sudja,
Fahruddin, Hisham, Syarkawi and Abdul Gani, finally Ahmad Dahlan founded
Muhammadiyah organization for the purpose of educating Moslems for forward-thinking in
accordance with the times.
The film was dir ected by renowned director Hanung Bramantyo, and played as K.H.
Ahmad Dahlan is Lukman Sardi. Also we can see Giring Nidji playing widescreen movies.
It’s good for us to watch this film. It can serve as a new addition to our historical
knowledge and also remind us how great our country was some years ago. Hopefully, this
film can evoke the spirit of patriotism and especially our sense of nationalism.
