Sherlock Holmes: A Game of Shadows



In 1891, Irene Adler (Rachel McAdams) delivers a package to Dr. Hoffmanstahl—payment for a letter he was to deliver. Hoffmanstahl opens the package, triggering a hidden bomb which is prevented from detonating by the intervention of Sherlock Holmes (Robert Downey, Jr.). Holmes takes the letter and disposes of the bomb while Adler and Hoffmanstahl escape. Holmes later finds Hoffmanstahl assassinated. Adler meets with Professor Moriarty (Jared Harris) to explain the events, but Moriarty poisons her—deeming her position compromised by her love for Holmes.

Some time later, Dr. Watson (Jude Law) arrives at 221B Baker Street, where Holmes discloses that he is investigating a series of seemingly unrelated murders, terrorist attacks, and business acquisitions, that he has connected to Moriarty. Holmes meets with the gypsy Simza (Noomi Rapace), the intended recipient of the letter he had taken from Adler, sent by her brother Rene. Holmes defeats an assassin sent to kill Simza, but she flees before Holmes can interrogate her. After Mary (Kelly Reilly) and Watson's wedding, Holmes meets Moriarty for the first time. Moriarty informs Holmes that he murdered Adler and will kill Watson and Mary if Holmes' interference continues.

Moriarty's men attack Watson and Mary on a train to their honeymoon. Holmes, having followed the pair for protection, throws Mary from the train into a river below where she is picked up by Holmes' waiting brother Mycroft (Stephen Fry). After defeating Moriarty's men, Holmes and Watson travel to Paris to locate Simza. When she is found, Holmes tells Simza that she has been targeted because Rene is working for Moriarty, and may have told her about his plans. Simza takes the pair to the headquarters of an anarchist group to which she and Rene had formerly belonged. They learn that the anarchists have been forced to plant bombs for Moriarty.

The trio follows Holmes's deduction that the bomb is in the Paris Opera. However, Holmes realizes too late that he has been tricked and that the bomb is in a nearby hotel; the bombing kills a number of assembled businessmen. Holmes discovers that the bomb was a cover for the assassination of Meinhart—one of the attendees—by Moriarty's aide, Sebastian Moran (Paul Anderson). Meinhart's death grants Moriarty ownership of Meinhart's weapons factory in Germany. Holmes, Watson, and Simza travel there, following clues in Rene's letters.

At the factory, Moriarty captures and tortures Holmes, while Watson is pinned down behind a large cannon by sniper fire from Moran. Moriarty reveals that he owns shares in multiple war-profiting companies, and intends to instigate a world war to make himself a fortune. Meanwhile, Watson uses the cannon he was behind to destroy the lighthouse in which Moran is concealed. The structure collapses into the warehouse where Moriarty is holding Holmes captive. Watson, Simza, and an injured Holmes reunite, and escape aboard a moving train. Holmes deduces that Moriarty's final target will be a peace summit in Switzerland, creating an international incident.

At the summit, Holmes reveals that Rene is the assassin and that he is disguised as one of the ambassadors—having been given radical reconstructive surgery by Hoffmanstahl to alter his appearance. Watson and Simza search for signs of the assassin while Holmes and Moriarty, who is also in attendance, retreat outside to discuss their competing plans. Watson and Simza find Rene and stop his assassination attempt, but Rene is himself silenced by Moran. Outside, Holmes reveals that he previously replaced Moriarty's personal diary that contained all his plans and financing with a duplicate. The original was sent to Mary in London who decrypted the code using a book that Holmes had noticed in Moriarty's office during their first meeting. Mary passes the information to Inspector Lestrade (Eddie Marsan) who seizes the bulk of Moriarty's assets, financially crippling him. Holmes and Moriarty anticipate an impending physical confrontation that both realize Moriarty would win, due to Holmes' injured shoulder. Holmes instead grapples Moriarty and forces them both over the balcony and into the Reichenbach waterfall below.

Their bodies are not found. Following Holmes' funeral, Watson and Mary prepare to have their belated honeymoon when Watson receives a package containing a breathing device of Mycroft's that Holmes had noticed before the summit. Realizing that Holmes is still alive, Watson leaves his office to find the delivery man. Holmes, having concealed himself in Watson's office, reads a fresh eulogy on Watson's typewriter and adds a question mark after the words "The End".

Coba tebak... boneka ini terinspirasi dari video apa hayo? Yup, video "California Girls", komplit dengan rambut warna birunya itu dan juga “Katy’s scrumptious cupcake dress”. Wah, ternyata pembuatan dua Barbie ini punya misi menarik lho dibaliknya, dan kedua Barbie ini sudah dilelang di website http://www.charitybuzz.com/, yang mana semua dana yang terkumpul akan disumbangkan ke Project Angel Food.

Nah, setiap tahunnya Project Angel Food memiliki berbagai program untuk mengumpulkan dana. Dan khusus untuk tahun ini, PAF mendapat bantuan dari Mattel Corps yang membuatkan Barbie dari Nicki Minaj dan Katy Perry untuk charity.

GLEE - Full Performance of Trouble Tones "Survivor"/"I Will Survive" air...



It's just your feeling!


You know what's real problem with this world? It's not from outside. It's from inside. A problem is not a problem until the inside of you makes it a problem. Some things like stress, worry, and anxiety. It's all from the inside. It comes from your feeling!

Do you ever feel like everything is not gonna be okay although nothing bad happens? Are you ever so afraid that bad things are gonna happen when everything is just okay? Or, sometimes there's only a very small problem but you take it as a big problem and it makes you stressed? If your answer is yes, sometimes I feel that way, too. However, after I think again about it, actually it's just a feeling.Your feeling makes every thing a problem. It is something inside you that always tries to affect your emotion, and in the end it makes you feel stressed or worry.
The truth is, feeling is something inside you that always tries to let you bother every single thing in your life, so everything looks complicated.
Don't you think it's very funny when your feeling always "plays" you? You can be happy, then sad, then suddenly happy again, and then suddenly sad again. It's natural. Everyone has feeling. But, you should not rely on it. Your feeling is not your boss. Don't let everything depend on it because it's not always right.

The thing is, feelings are soft. It's fragile. If you keep saying yes to your feeling, it's very easy to bring you down. It's true that feeling can make people happy too. Happiness is also a feeling. But, everyone has problems. Feeling is more likely to lead people to bad thoughts than the good ones. When there's nothing bad really happens, your feeling will try to tell you "What if tomorrow something bad happens?" And when there's only a small problem, your feeling will tell you "It's not small. You should not take it easy. It's gonna be worse if you don't do this or do that." I can say that your feeling always tries to "bully" you.
Sometimes everything is just okay, but your feeling makes it dramatic, then you become worry.
So, one thing you can do is to stop letting your feeling make your life a mess. Start to be relax in thinking and making decision. Use a right attitude to lead your act. It's not your circumstance or things aroudn you that you should control. It's the inside of you, because a problem is not a problem until the inside of you takes it as a problem.

Don't let your feeling tell you that it's not okay when everything is just okay. Learn to control your feeling and not be controlled by it. It's you who should control your feeling, not your feeling who controls you.

In Time



The year is 2161. Genetic alteration has allowed humanity to develop a system where individuals stop aging 25 years after birth. Due to over-population concerns, 'living time' has replaced money as the standard currency and people must acquire more time through labor and commercial means after turning 25 years of age, or die within a year. The amount of living time one has left is represented by a clock embedded on their arms like a wristwatch, and when that clock reaches 13 zeros (0000:00:0:00:00:00), they will die instantly. Each social class lives in a different area called a 'Time Zone'. The poor live in the ghettos of Dayton and work each day to earn a few more hours of life, which they must also use to pay for everyday necessities. The rich live in the luxurious New Greenwich, and can live for centuries to millennia based on how much time they have acquired.

Will Salas (Justin Timberlake) is a 28-year-old factory worker who lives with his 50-year old mother Rachel (Olivia Wilde) in the ghettos. One day, Will and his best friend Borel (Johnny Galecki) visit a bar and encounter 105-year-old Henry Hamilton (Matt Bomer), who has more than a century on his clock and flaunts his time around by purchasing everyone drinks. Hamilton is attacked by Fortis (Alex Pettyfer), the 75-year old mobster boss of a gang called the Minutemen, who are infamous for stealing other people's time by force. Will helps Hamilton escape the confrontation and leads him to shelter at an abandoned factory, where Hamilton tells Will that there's enough time for everyone, but it is being stockpiled for the rich to use in becoming immortal. An upset Will argues that no one should die before their time naturally ends so that others may live, upon which Hamilton describes how he is tired of being alive.

Later that night, Hamilton transfers his remaining time to Will while he is asleep and commits suicide by climbing a bridge as his time expires. Once his time is gone, he falls into the river below. Will arrives too late to save him, realizes he has been filmed by a nearby surveillance camera, and flees the area. Hamilton's body is found by the resident police force, the Timekeepers, who deploy veteran Timekeeper Raymond Leon (Cillian Murphy) to capture Will, who is now believed to have stolen Hamilton's time, then kill him.

Will awaits his mother at a bus station to tell her about his newly gained wealth, only to discover that she didn't have enough time to pay for her usual bus ride after the price suddenly increased. He rushes down the street to find her. They encounter each other on foot, and as she runs and leaps into his arms, her time expires before her son can help her and she dies in his arms. Remembering what Hamilton had told him about the inequity of the time system, Will decides to seek revenge. He visits Borel and gives him a decade's worth of time as a friendship gift, and leaves for New Greenwich with over a century on his clock. Upon arrival, he enters a casino, where he meets a 90-year old millionaire, time-loaning businessman Phillipe Weis (Vincent Kartheiser) and his 27-year-old daughter Sylvia Weis (Amanda Seyfried). Sylvia becomes interested in Will after a tense gambling table showdown where Will beats her father in poker with only seconds to spare on his clock, and she invites Will to a party at her father's mansion.

At the mansion, Will is apprehended by Leon, who confiscates most of his time before Will is able to escape by taking Sylvia hostage. He attempts to return to the ghetto with her; however, his car is ambushed by Fortis, destroying the car in an attack which renders them unconscious. Fortis discovers that Will was in possession of Hamilton's time, but is disappointed to learn that Will has no significant amount of time on him, due to having most of it confiscated by the Timekeepers. As consolation, he steals most of Sylvia's, forced to leave about half an hour on her clock as the approaching Timekeepers scare him away from the scene. Will returns to consciousness and gives Sylvia some of his remaining time so they can return to his old neighborhood. They first visit Borel to retrieve some time Will gave him earlier as their time is running out soon, only to find out from Borel's grief-stricken wife that he had drunk himself to death with 9 years on his clock. Sylvia pawns her jewelry for a meager price of 2 days. Finding themselves shelter later, Will makes a call to Weis demanding a 1,000 years' ransom for Sylvia, to be distributed to the people of the ghetto. Leon traces Will's location from his phone call, and heads to Dayton in pursuit.

The following day, as Will prepares to release Sylvia, he discovers that Weis did not pay the ransom, but Will decides to let Sylvia go regardless. Leon appears and almost kills Will, but is shot in the shoulder by Sylvia. Will then transfers two hours of time to the disarmed Leon so that he is able to walk out of Dayton before he "clocks out". Will and Sylvia escape in Leon's car. Later, Will tells her that she still has a chance to walk away from the situation, but she decides to remain by his side, saying there is no purpose to the life she once had in New Greenwich. The couple then kiss. They begin a series of Time Bank robberies while evading Leon and the Timekeepers, stealing the Time Capsules which store time and distributing them to the poor, with a bounty of 10 years on their heads. Fortis eventually tracks down Will and Sylvia a second time, and challenges Will to a Time Fight. Will dominates the fight by using the technique he learned from his late father and kills the remaining Minutemen while Fortis dies, his time transferred to Will.

However, Will and Sylvia soon realize their previous efforts were futile, as the rich have the ability to simply increase the cost of living in the ghettos to maintain the status quo. They devise a plan to steal a million years from Weis' private headquarters. Will and Sylvia steal Weis' one million year Time Capsule and escape the facility. The Timekeepers form a blockade to stop them, but Will and Sylvia manage to break through and reach Dayton. Upon arrival, Leon crashes his car into Will's, but Will is able to hand the Time Holder to a young girl, who distributes the time among the people. Leon eventually catches up with Will and Sylvia outside the city, holding them at gunpoint. Will jokingly asks Leon to return some of the time he previously loaned him so that they can survive till their executions, but Leon realizes that he had neglected to replenish his own time before going after them, and dies. Will and Sylvia are left with seconds to live, but Will runs to Leon's car and takes his allotted time, and transfers it to Sylvia seconds before she is about to die, a scene mirroring his mother's death.

Will and Sylvia continue robbing banks as part of their efforts to crash the system, now with a bounty of 100 years on their heads, while the rich attempt to cope with the sudden surge of new rich people arriving from the ghettos.

The Social Network


Last winter, Gabriela, now fourteen, was expecting to attend her friend Sarah's* thirteenth-birthday weekend in New York City. "In front of my whole family, she said that it'd be so fun and we'd have a blast if I came," recalls Gabriela, a high school freshman in Newark, Delaware. But the official invite never arrived, and Gabriela promptly forgot about it—until the Monday in February when a group of her friends returned to school after spending the weekend in the Big Apple. Gabriela was shocked and hurt that she'd been excluded. "What happened? You told me straight up I was coming. This isn't right," she told Sarah. "Sarah said, 'We took a vote. I wanted you to come, but everybody else didn't,'" Gabriela says. "I didn't want to cry in front of her, so I waited until I got home."

While periodically dealing with exclusion is a part of life, to many teens, certain public slights feel overwhelmingly painful. "It's heartbreaking to not feel included," says John Duffy, Psy.D., a clinical psychologist. "It makes you feel like you don't have a place and you don't really know who you are."

When all of your friends have been included except you, it can seem extremely isolating, notes eighteen-year-old Nicole, from Marlboro, New Jersey. "When you hear that a friend is having a party and you realize you weren't invited, it's a slap in the face," she says. "It makes you feel not wanted."

But why does exclusion suddenly feel like a huge issue when you reach middle school and high school—and why does it hurt so much? "When we hit the teen years," Duffy explains, "we define ourselves far more in a social context instead of a family context and look to friends instead of relatives for approval. Our self-worth is derived in large part from how we fit in with our peer group. We think a lot about what other people think of us; our big fear is that they don't."

Olivia, a nineteen-year-old in Alpharetta, Georgia, faced that fear one Friday afternoon this past spring. "I was on Facebook when my news feed updated, and I saw a picture of my good friend Amanda* and everyone I hang out with celebrating Amanda's birthday at a restaurant," the college freshman recalls. "I was in shock. Why didn't she just text me? These are the people I see all the time," she says.

She commented "Why wasn't I invited?" on the photo, and Amanda immediately responded that it was an accident; the birthday dinner had spontaneously come together earlier that day. It was cold comfort to Olivia. "When I saw that on Facebook, I felt like a loser," she says. "By commenting on that party photo, I was announcing to every one of my friends who were tagged: 'I wasn't there, and I want to know why.'"

Facebook, Twitter, and other forms of social media can make these experiences of exclusion immeasurably worse: You can see exactly what your friends are doing at all times, with or without you. "Past generations of teens have experienced this—rejection, feeling like an outsider," says Georgia Michalopoulou, Ph.D., chief of staff of the Child Psychiatry and Psychology division of the Children's Hospital of Michigan. "But it's much more of a problem now. Before, if a friend betrayed your trust, only that one friend knew about it. Now a whole group of people knows." Adds Olivia: "On Facebook, you want everyone to know that you're out and about doing something—you're not home alone updating your Facebook status."

Social self-worth is, for some girls, a public numbers game, Duffy says. "The more people we are approved by, the better we feel about ourselves." So seeing how much fun others are having via your Facebook feed could easily make you think that you're left out of everything—even things you don't necessarily care about.
But it's definitely worse if you're close friends with the person who excluded you, says Katie, a fourteen-year-old high school freshman. After a big eighth-grade dance last year, the Louisville, Kentucky, native went home and immediately logged on to Facebook. "I saw tons of pictures of my friends getting ready for the dance together," she says. "They had a little predance party and didn't tell me. It was so upsetting because I was good friends with [the host], and I saw people there who don't really talk to her. It's like, OK, she's not going to invite me, but she'll invite people she doesn't really know? It made me feel really bad, like there was something wrong with me."

Olivia admits to experiencing a similar sense of paranoia: "I worried at the beginning that I'd been excluded on purpose," she says. "I thought, Was this planned? Did I do something? I even went back and checked my text messages to see what we'd talked about in the last week."

The best way to deal with feeling left out, say Duffy and Michalopoulou, is to try to modify your reaction to exclusion—since many teens experience it so often and it's impossible to be invited to everything. That's what helped Nicole. "At first I felt like, Oh, poor me, my life sucks," she says. "But then I heard stories from different friends about not being invited somewhere, and I thought, OK, these things just happen. As upset as I was, I know in a few years it won't mean anything to me. And for now I'll hang out with my other friends who care about me and wouldn't exclude me."

Another way to protect yourself from serious postexclusion hurt: Focus on the quality of your friendships. For one thing, having hundreds of Facebook friends or tons of real-life acquaintances isn't as fulfilling as fostering close friendships with people you can trust, Duffy says. "You can be hanging out with 50 people on a Friday night, online or otherwise, and feel lonely," he says, "or be with two and feel great." Michalopoulou adds that it's good to have friends in different groups too: "Develop friendships that aren't just based on status," she suggests. Instead, "form relationships with other kids who have similar interests and hobbies."

And if it's your BFF who excluded you, like in Katie's story? Talk it out with an adult you trust, and if your relationship with your friend has been good so far, ask her—offline—why she excluded you, Michalopoulou says. "Address it face-to-face, not over the Internet." Gabriela says that in her situation, Sarah, who had the New York birthday weekend, apologized to her a few different times after everything happened. Though Gabriela was hesitant to trust her again, she eventually believed Sarah's feelings of remorse were honest. "I forgave her and the other girls, and I felt like the bigger person," she says.

While being left out can be devastating, girls say there's often an upside—the experience makes you more compassionate toward and understanding of others. Olivia doesn't post her whereabouts on Facebook if she's going somewhere that's not an open invite; Gabriela says that she's now much more inclusive. "There are times when there's that one person you don't want to invite—but I still do," she says.
It's also worth remembering that your social circle shouldn't dictate how you feel about yourself. "Don't internalize negative comments. Try to make your own decisions about things," says Michalopoulou. "It's important to remember that you can't change how people behave, but you can change the way you deal with these situations."

Exclusion can surely lay bare the cracks in your friendship—but it can also make it clear who your true allies are. Being left out, Nicole says, "made me realize that the girls who've excluded me aren't my good friends. It's kind of like a blessing in disguise. It helps you let go of people who aren't healthy for you."
