As the dark clouds slowly build over the capital, and the last remnants of sunny summer get washed away, Jakarta is preparing for another rainy season. Although the skies maybe a little more gloomy, it doesn’t mean that the good times have dried up in Jakarta. Let’s not forget we live in a city that never sleeps. Two much anticipated major events that are poised to rock Jakarta are the second edition of ‘Sundaze’, and ‘Halloween R&B Fever’. Plenty of other international acts will also make their way to Jakarta, but not as many as last month. Everybody is welcome to third edition of The Beat Jakarta BBQ at Lex (Liquid Exchange) next Sunday October 23. More good food, cheer and beers are back on the menu. Always remember to check TBJ’s What’s On, Scoop and Here Now sections to be in the loop about what’s going down in the big Durian over the next fortnight. Never miss a beat with TBJ in your hand! Awan mendung perlahan mengisi langit di atas ibu kota, dan sisa-sisa dari cerahnya summer perlahan lenyap, sudah waktunya Jakarta bersiap-siap untuk menghadapi kembali musim hujan. Walau langit mendung, tidak berarti tidak ada kesenangan di Jakarta, nama juga kota yang tidak pernah tidur. Dua acara megah yang akan memenuhi agenda acara Jakarta, dan sangat dinantikan oleh para party goers adalah edisi kedua dari ‘Sundaze’ dan ‘Halloween R&B Fever’. Beberapa artis mancanegara akan menyinggahi Jakarta tidak seramai bulan lalu. Semua diundang ke edisi ketiga dari The Beat Jakarta BBQ di Lex (Liquid Exchange) hari miggu tanggal 23 October.

HRC Jakarta 19! Hard Rock Cafe celebrated their 19th anniversary last week and it was once more onto the stage with the cake for the crew, my dear friends - I think Ipong must have been taking the photo. Paulus and the crew have been keeping the place busy with sounds and food since anyone can remember and continue doing a great job. This photo was taken on the night of the Alice Cooper show. Ipong said to TBJ, ““HRC Jakarta was truly honored to be able to celebrate its 19th Anniversary with the legendary Alice Cooper. It was, hands down, THE best concert performance we have seen this year! True testament that when a legendary man teamed up with a legendary brand, only great things would transpire! This is just a peak of more great things to come in the year of 2012. Stick with us. “

Anton Wirjono Immigrant | Fri 21 Oct | 10pm Sounds Like House Hails From Jakarta, Indonesia
Has Been DJ Anton’s name is synonymous with the rise of Indonesia’s dance music scene. DJ Anton has dedicated his life to expanding the house music scene in Indonesia, and is highly regarded by wannabe DJs wishing to be a part of his Future10 label. Back in the heyday of the old Parkit Club, Anton and his handful of DJs from Future10 transformed the happening hot spot in Menteng into one of the hippest underground clubs in the capital. Not only that, but he was also responsible for turning Bengkel and several other secret locations into massive rave/warehouse parties. Other events that have come from deep inside Anton’s brain include ‘Turn On Plastic’ recognized for featuring the latest dance beats, the clothing and music extravaganza that is ‘Brightspot Market’ and the nationally acclaimed ‘The Junction’. No longer using his old DJ moniker, he prefers to be recognized as Anton Wirjono. is Now Immigrant will hold the ‘Tokyo Pirates’ event on the 21st of October, and the first mate of the swashbuckling event will be Captain Anton ‘Sparrow’ Wirjono. Immigrant has kept a tight lid on the details of this high seas concept party to keep clubbers curious. Want to know how it will turn out? Best make your way down there me hearties!
beatmag.com 022
Has Been Berbicara tentang DJ yang satu ini, tidak lepas dari peranannya sebagai penggagas banyak acara konseptual di dunia dance music Indonesia. Bersama dengan Future10, dulunya anton merubah Parkit Club menjadi underground club yang menjadi legenda. Lalu ada Bengkel, dan tempat tempat tersembunyi yang diubah menjadi Rave Party / Warehouse Party. Belum lagi, acara besutannya yang menghadirkan musik terkini, dari mulai Turn On Plastic, trus lebih ke clothing & music ‘Brightspot Market’ dan juga acara berskala internasional yaitu ‘The Junction’. DJ yang akhirnya memakai hanya nama Anton Wirjono tidak hanya memajukan musik House, deretan DJnya yang tergabung dalam Future10 tapi juga banyak konsep menarik yang juga mengisi dunia klab Jakarta. is Now Acara ‘Tokyo Pirates’ akan digelar oleh Immigrant pada tanggal 21 Oktober. Pengisi acara utamanya adalah DJ Anton Sparrow. Tentunya akan ada gimmick lainnya yang dirahasiakan oleh Immigrant demi menjaga konsep acara yang surprise. yang pasti, untuk menunjang acara ini, Immigrant akan berbenah dan dibumbui oleh tema ‘Pirates’ di dalamnya. Penasaran ?.

Renza Moors
Alannys Weber & Renza Moors LUV’s Bar & Dine | Friday 21 & 28 Oct | 10pm Sound Like House, Tech, Progressive Hail From Jakarta, Indonesia
Have Been If you’re blessed with natural beauty, then the logical start to your career in the limelight would be as a model - either on the catwalk or in magazines. Alannys Webber and Renza Moors know this well, as they both began their careers as models before diving into the world of DJing. Success as a model and actress wasn’t enough for Alannys, and after learning the ropes at Spinach Records, she went on to perform at many big name clubs around the nation, and even got invited to play in the Netherlands. Renza Moors had similar beginnings, starting as a model in 2006 and going on to study the art of remixing, finally debuting as a fully fledged DJ in 2008. In a short time she became a much sought after name on the local dance music scene, with many big club names requesting her presence. Alannys and Renza are clearly more than just pretty faces, with the skill to put together some great dance beats. are Now The two will be performing at LUV’s Bar & Dine on different dates this month. Alannys will be up first, spinning out her upbeat dance rhythms for the ‘Octo-Beer’ event on the 21st of October. As for Renza Moors, she’ll be on the following week for a Halloween celebration dubbed ‘Escape From Underworld’ on the 28th of October and will be sharing the spotlight with DJ Tomoko. Check out these two gorgeous DJs as they spin out their respective tunes for the ever up for it LUV’s crowd.
Have Been Sebagian karir DJ wanita berasal dari dunia model dan buktinya adalah Alannys Weber dan Renza Moors. Dua wanita cantik ini, memulai karir dari dunia artis dan akrab dengan foto plus catwalk. Alannys misalnya, dia sudah menekuni akting, model, koreografi dan berlabuh di DJ Booth. Mengasah ilmu DJnya di Spinach records demi meningkatkan kualitasnya dan perlahan jam terbangnya semakin tinggi dengan tampil di domestic hingga ke negeri Belanda. Sedangkan Renza Moors tidak jauh berbeda dengan mengawali karir dari dunia artis dan model di tahun 2006 dan setelah hasratnya melirik ke dunia DJ, Renza menambah keahliannya dengan mengikuti program kursus DJ. Selepas tahun 2008, nama Renza sudah masuk sebagai penampil di berbagai klab. Baik Alannys maupun Renza, membuktikan bahwa bukan hanya kecantikan fisik yang mereka punya, namun juga keahlian meramu Dance Music. are Now Mereka berdua akan tampil di LUV’s Bar & Dine satu panggung namun terpisah waktunya. Alannys terlebih dahulu akan memainkan deretan tracknya dalam dek di acara Octo-Beer pada tanggal 21 Oktober. Sedangkan Renza Moors akan tampil seminggu setelahnya, dalam acara perayaan Halloween yang berjudul ‘Escape From Underworld’ tanggal 28 Oktober bersama dengan DJ Tomoko. Mau lihat kecantikan mereka di atas DJ booth ?. Datangi saja kedua acara tersebut.

Alice Cooper Live
T
here weren’t many people at the Alice Cooper concert out the front of Hard Rock Cafe last week, which was a shame because it was a great show. Not just because you were in the presence of a true legend and genre defining rock n roll icon, but also because the band he had with him. Included in the ensemble were two very special guitarists. On one side there was Orianthi, a 24 year old Aussie lass, who besides being the latest sensation in female rock guitarists and playing with the likes of Micheal Jackson and Santana, totally shredded every time she stepped forward. And the other side, Steve Hunter, who has played with Cooper since the beginning and played legendary lead guitar on top albums of many artists throughout the years, including one of my all-time favourites, Lou Reed’s immortal opening guitar riffs on his mid-seventies ‘Live’ album. Add to that, guitarist Tommy Erickson, Bass player Chuck Garric, drummer Glen Sobel, bold theatrics and stage props, and we had a rock show that left most people in the crowd in awe.
beatmag.com 034
Alice Cooper’s four decades of rock show experience was splashed all over the stage with ebbs and flows through the show, which included swords, snakes, enormous monsters and a rag doll dummy being caressed and then finally beaten in a very shock-rock fashion. Actually that was the only truly shocking part of the show for many of feminist-inclined in the audience. Obviously Alice still enjoys coming up with ways for a good shock and that one did achieve a few groans, while most of the rest of the theatrics remained just that, good theatre. By the finale, Alice met his own grisly end by guillotine in the prop filled show that lasted one and a half hours. All this theatrics arrived with a backdrop of some of the best rock music you are likely to hear. Tracks like Poison, Billion Dollar Babies, Only Women Bleed, School’s Out - tastily mixed with Pink Floyd’s The Wall, a exceptional drum and bass solo, and finishing with a grand rendition of Elected, this Alice Cooper show, which has been receiving glowing reviews wherever it goes around the world, was indeed a great show, and you were a lucky punter if you were one of the few who attended the show.

ang rapper asal AS, 50cent terbang langsung dari Amerika untuk menyambut para penggemarnya di Epicentrum Walk Sabtu malam lalu. Banyak penonton meramaikan area untuk menyaksikan penampilan rapper ternama ini, walau qualitas sound yang ditawarkan venue kurang memadai, acara tetap berlangsung dengan seru. Berbagai lagu ternama dinyanyikan oleh 50 Cent dan didampingi co-rapper Tony Yayo, penonton bersorak sorai selama satu jam setengah. Tidak hanya menghibur dengan lagu, 50 Cent juga melemparkan jaket maupun topi ke penonton yang hamper menyebabkan kerusuhan saat penonton berebut memperoleh souvenir langka ini. Acara berakhir dengan beberapa penonton yang diundang keatas pangung untuk dansa dengan sang idola dan tanpa sambut akhir apa-apa pergi dari panggun. Akhir yang cukup aneh tapi konser yang seru! Global megastar rapper 50 Cent landed in Jakarta direct from the US to play in Jakarta at Epicentrum Walk on the 8th of October. An almost full-house turned out to witness Fiddy’s first concert in Indonesia. He played most of his hits from over the past decade but while the sound quality wasn’t doing the show many favours, 50 Cent and the six piece band and co-rapper Tony Yayo he brought with him managed to get most people’s hands in the air for the hour and a half set. The jacket throwing and consequent melee on three occasions was kinda gangster, but the cap thrown into the crowd and landing right on the head of a kid next to us took the hat, literally. It was the strangest finish to a concert I can recall with the band finishing with a bunch of kids from the audience on stage, hamming it up and then walking off stage - no encore, no applause. I wasn’t the only one scratching my head.

What music are you into at the moment? ‘Recipe For Hate’ by Bad Religion. This is not a brand new release album - it’s not even new stuff by Bad Religion. I hadn’t listened to this album for a long time, it’s made me realize how I needed the sound from it - and now I am cured! There are a lot more beats and rhythms, warm sounds, and unpredictable lyrics thrown in to make it complete. What was the first record you bought? Any interesting story behind it? ‘Eclipse’ by Yngwie Malmsteen, 1990. That album wasn’t really my first introduction to music. I had listened to lots of different albums back then (belonging to my older brother). But ‘Eclipse’ was the first one I totally owned. I bought the album after reading the review from this old school nowdefunct tabloid called Citra. ‘Eclipse’ was about my high school romance hehe… And Yngwie did that for me. Rock and firing heart! What is your all-time favourite album? Why? ‘Scenes’ by Marty Friedman. It’s the second studio album by the legendary guitarist, released in 1992. I’ve bought this album several times, either because it was lost or stolen. The instruments can kick the dizziness out of my head - sensational! What I can describe about this album is the really soft-colour that makes you close your eyes and hold your breath (even your hands) frequently. A dangerous unseen attack from the ex-thrash metal guitarist of Megadeth! What was the worst record you ever purchased? ‘Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves OST’. There was only one song, ‘(Everything I Do) I Do It For You’, by Bryan Adams that I really could listen to. The rest was kinda orchestral stuff they used in the movie. Phew, please take note: I just wanted to listen to music with my portable stereo tape recorder, not to imagine or pretend as if I was in the cinema.
Who do you want to be, other than yourself, next time you reincarnate? One of those collector items of merchandise from our band Superman Is Dead hehe… I can relive the band’s story as somebody else, and I can also find out just what people really think about me, too. I will get the story from all sources including my family, kids, and friends that are connected to this band. Yeahyeahyeah…
What book are you reading now and what’s the score (1-10)? Borrow or buy? I haven’t read any books lately but I’ve had many lessons about the life. If you asked me what website I’m reading right now, I would answer ‘Google’ haha. What new movie should people see? Why? I am addicted to 3D cinema recently. ‘Drive Angry’ with Nicolas Cage is highly recommended. The message is: ‘Go back home after the case is solved!’ Plus the 3D technology is great! What song do you choose to start your weekend? ‘Love Like Winter’ by AFI from the December Underground album. And song you choose to end your weekend? ‘The saddest song’ by The Ataris from the So Long Astoria album.

Keep Your Mind Sharp!
it’s Not just your body, your brain also needs exercise in order to stay sharp. our brains need stimulating and challenging tasks to retain cognitive and memory skills - when a brain is given a regular work out, it will stay sharper for longer. The saying ‘use it or lose it’ truly applies! Here’s some of the ways to exercise your brain that TBJ would like to share with you:
1.
Try new activities. Doing things that require the memorization of complex steps will exercise the brain. Learn a new language, a musical instrument, or play a game you never played before in your life. Playing chess is a good idea.
5.
Expand your vocabulary. Learn a new word everyday using a dictionary or thesaurus.
6.
Use a map instead of a GPS. The complicated streets of Jakarta on a big piece of paper will surely give your brain a workout.
2.
Do games and mind-testing puzzles such as Sudoku, Scrabble or crossword puzzles. Did you know that doing crossword puzzles can minimize the risk of developing neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer’s?
7.
Get rid of your calculator. Do maths the oldfashioned way using a pen and a piece of paper.
8.
Anything that needs assembly at home such as furniture, electronics, or toys is good for your brain.
3.
Set aside a specific amount of time to read. Magazines, newspapers, books, novels, anything out there will do the job.
4.
Use your less dominant hand often. Focusing on performing tasks accurately with this hand will strengthen your brain.
beatmag.com 046
9.
Listening to your favourite songs and singing them back by recalling the lyrics is a lot of fun, and also perfect brain training.
Don’t forget to exercise your body as well; a healthy body promotes a healthy mind. (Dini Siregar)

The Duo Power by erza s.t.

n classical music, you either shine alone and become a soloist, or you can join a group and be part of that. However this is not always the case if you consider a duo as a career option. Around world, there are many dynamic duos, such as the sisters of Duo Gazzana from Italy (piano and violin), the London Classical Duo from the United Kingdom (harp and flute) and the world renowned guitarists, the Assad Brothers. Around the end of this month, Jakarta is fortunate to have one of those famous duos coming to town. Performing in concert is the husband and wife duo of Patrick Zygmanowski and Tamayo Ikeda. Although it is not the first time that this duo has been in Indonesia, it is of course still very exciting to be welcoming them once again to Jakarta. 2006 was the last visit for this duo to Indonesia, and at that time they performed in Surabaya. Encouragingly, they received an amazing response not only from the audience but also the media. Duncan Graham of Indonesia Now wrote: “Their style is flamboyant, with both bottoms bouncing on the shared stool and Ikeda’s long hair taking flight as if in a TV shampoo commercial. She’s a particularly demonstrative player and lets her arms soar high above the keyboard. Her husband is not much different. The effect is a whirling windmill of limbs”. Both Tamayo and Patrick took up piano at an early age, and already started receiving awards in their teens. Tamayo who is originally from Japan, moved to France to study at the Conservatoire National Superieur in Paris, where she studied piano with Jacques Rouvier and chamber music with Regis Pasquier. Her unique approach to the repertoire has been awarded in many competitions such as the Yvonne Lefebure International Competition and Porto International Competition, as well as Francis Poulenc International Competition where she won the first prize and the special Casadesus prize. Like Tamayo, Patrick Zygmanowski also went to the same conservatory and studied under the same teachers too. His playing has been described as “lifting his partner with elegance and authority, as in a ballet”, and Zygmanowski himself as “a sensitive artist with a delicate and expressive
touch”. He has been performing around the world, producing some notable recordings, and has received some prestigious awards as well. Together, this duo is also known as The Ykeda Duo, that specialises in music for four hands. In the past they have put Mozart, Ravel and Gershwin on their repertoire, hopefully they will do it again for their upcoming concert, since we still have not yet been informed about the program. Aside from this duo, we also going to have another duo performance, only this time it’s a vocal duo. The tenor is Untung Parlindungan Siahaan, and the soprano is Diani Rinarti Sitompul. The duo will sing a combination of duets and solo arias from famous Italian operas. On the program are highlights from Verdi’s La Traviata, some Puccini and Donizetti to the beloved Mozart. So make sure not to miss both of these duos. They are sue to be simply duolicious….

HaciendA
Mexican food mirrors the culture of the country; it is colourful, rich, stimulating and festive. ¡Bienvenidos a Hacienda! exico might be worlds apart from Indonesia, but it has its own tradition of spicy food. I fell in love with Mexican food back when I was living in Los Angeles. It was foreign, but somehow felt familiar to me. It is rare to find a restaurant serving such fare in Jakarta, let alone one serving high quality authentic Mexican food with traditional tastes. Thanks to Hacienda, the popularity of Mexican cuisine is now steadily increasing among foodies here.
Mexico, is the person responsible for bringing this exquisite Mexican dining experience to the heart of our capital.
Located in the Arcadia building in the back of Plaza Senayan, Hacienda has become the place for genuine cocina Mexicana in the capital, and chef Gerardo Milan, a native of Morelia in central

Hacienda’s décor is simple yet stylish; framed pictures of Mexico hanging on the pastel-coloured walls, nicely accented by touches of wood. The subtle lighting makes Hacienda a suitable place for romantic dinners, but if a small fiesta is more your style, you’ll feel equally at home, too.
Food chips. The whole tableside preparation is an art in itself. The hearty tortilla soup (49k) is another noteworthy starter - rich chicken broth, flavoured with onions, carrots, tomatoes, cilantro, guajillo and ancho peppers, with freshly grilled chicken breast, crispy tortilla strips and topped with a cheese sombrero.
The chile relleno (179k) is another brilliant dish poblano chili stuffed with beef and melted cheese, covered with egg butter and then fried and served in tomato sauce with refried beans, Mexican rice, and tortillas on the side. Simply ¡Delicioso!
The use of cocoa powder in savoury dishes may seem like a startling idea, but the mole sauce, a specialty of the Oaxaca region, gives a depth of colour and flavour to meat dishes like nothing else. The pollo con mole (99k) is an excellent example here. Chicken smothered in peanut chocolate chili sauce, served with Mexican rice, tortillas, and sautéed vegetables. It’s really something worth savouring.

It’s been quite some time since some old friends and I had our last after work hang out, so we decided to go to Marley - a restaurant and bar that surprisingly none of us we have visited.
fried kalasan chicken. One of my friends ordered this one and firmly gave it the two thumbs up.
After the usual catching up banter, we were ready for something a little more substantial, and ordered a couple of scrumptious seafood dishes - namely the British style fish and chips (45k), the deep fried buttered dori fish with straight cut fries and home made tartar sauce, and the seafood capellini (75k) with capellini pasta aglio olio, prawns and New Zealand green mussels.
The friendly staff informed us about their special lunch packages, with a meal and a drink for just 50k nett each. Now there’s a good midday meal option for all you office workers out there.
Marley’s drinks are also very noteworthy, my personal favourite being an exceptionally Marley is a cozy and casual establishment located refreshing mocktail called the Toronjada (45k). It’s inside The Energy Building, close to Pacific Place a wonderful blend of grapefruit, hand muddled mall. It has an intimate, loungy feel courtesy of dim lime, freshly squeezed orange juice, soda water lighting, dark décor and plush chairs.

Signature drinks here include the passion fruit gimlet (90k), with passion fruit, freshly squeezed It’s always good too see your friends, and the lime juice, pineapple juice, Absolut vodka and fresh nachos with beef chili con carne and cheese (57k) thyme. Alternatively, if you feel like having a bit started us off on a high. Some buffalo chicken more bite in your drink, the one love (90k) and wings and crudités (46k) also helped.

Marley is also known for their excellent live acts on Wednesday and Saturday evenings. Their ‘open mic’ nights are proving to be a popular alternative for many of Jakarta’s music lovers. Some tribute The Marley pepper steak (115k) was my order, and nights are also held here. Two special Weezer and the crusted black pepper beef rib eye steak with Grunge themed nights here were big hits recently, sautéed vegetables and straight cut fries topped with an Oasis night to be held on October 28. with a tasty home made pepper sauce certainly did not disappoint.

Fight with Robots, Partner with Secret Agents and Make Friends with an Alien!
By: @JohanJT
Jika disuruh memilih salah satu dari tiga pilihan di atas, manakah yang akan kamu pilih? Kamu bisa bertarung tinju dengan mengendalikan robot, beraksi dengan agen rahasia nan kocak menyelamatkan dunia, atau mungkin kamu ingin berteman dengan makhluk alien yang akan mengubah hidupmu? Tentukan pilihanmu diwww.blitzmegaplex.com dan www.21cineplex.com! Are you a fan of action flicks? Does the prospect of robots, aliens and secret agents get you salivating with anticipation? Well, check out these three action blockbusters at www.blitzmegaplex.com and www.21cineplex.com for a roller coaster ride that veers between espionage, sci-fi and comedy. Grab your popcorn and dust off the edge of your seat - its time to get startled.
Real Steel Action, Drama, Sci-Fi. Director: Shawn Levy.. Writers: John Gatin and Dan Gilroy. Cast: Hugh Jackman, Dakota Goyo, Evangeline Lilly, Anthony Mackie, Kevin Durand, Hope Davis. Berlatarkan waktu di masa depan ketika olahraga tinju yang populer telah mengadaptasi teknologi yang canggih yaitu bertarung dengan mengendalikan robot, Charlie (Hugh Jackman, X-Men Origin: Wolverine) adalah seorang petarung yang sudah kehilangan pamor saat dia kalah dalam pertarungan besar beberapa tahun lalu. Charlie pun sekarang hidup dari memperbaiki robot petarung rongsokan dari tempat pembuangan. Di saat dia berpikir hidupnya sudah tidak berarti, seorang anak berusia 11 tahun, Max (Dakota Goyo, Thor) muncul dan mengaku sebagai putranya, dan Charlie menemukan sebuah rongsokan robot petarung yang diyakininya masih mempunyai potensi besar. Bersama dengan putra yang baru dikenalnya, Charlie mendapat satu kesempatan balik untuk kembali bertarung di arena pertarungan yang brutal antara besi yang saling beradu. Dengan ide cerita dari salah satu penulis skenario film Tarsem Singh “The Fall�, tidak heran jika imajinasi untuk cerita film ini akan membuat tertarik para penggemar film action sci-fi. Sutradara Shawn Levy (Date Night) sendiri sebelumnya lebih banyak berkutat dalam genre komedi drama, namun dengan hadirnya Hugh Jackman sebagai bintang utama dan visual pertarungan robot petinju di masa depan, film ini merupakan salah satu yang banyak diantisipasi oleh penggemar film aksi laga. Aktris cantik, Evangeline Lilly (Lost TV series, The Hurt Locker) akan menjadi pemanis tersendiri bagi para cowok selain daripada adrenalin yang dipicu oleh aksi robot-robot besi bertarung tinju di arena. Pakai sarung tinju berlapis besi dan bersiaplah di dalam bioskop! Imagine a movie that combines elements of Rocky, Transformers, and battle video games. Well imagine no longer, as Real Steel brings together robots, boxing and battles for our viewing pleasure. Add to that a sentimental father and son plotline, throw in some top end special effects and erstwhile Wolverine Hugh Jackman (X-Men 1-3), and on paper this flick starts to look pretty darn epic. Definitely one for the big screen.
Johnny English Reborn Adventure, Comedy. Director: Oliver Parker. Writers: William Davies, Harnish McColl. Cast: Rowan Atkinson, Dominic West, Gillian Anderson, Rosamund Pike.
Setelah beberapa tahun menghilang dari peredaran, agen terkenal M17, Johnny English (Rowan Atkinson, Mr. Bean) ternyata melatih keahlian dirinya berkeliling benua Asia. Dan ketika ada misi rahasia berbahaya untuk menyelamatkan salah satu petinggi penting negara Cina, Johnny English kembali diminta untuk beraksi untuk memburu seorang pembunuh bayaran yang sangat tidak bisa diprediksi metodenya. Diberikan satu kesempatan untuk menunjukkan keahliannya kembali, Johnny harus mengungkap konspirasi yang bersarang di markas KGB, CIA dan bahkan MI7 sendiri. Dengan caranya yang kocak dan seringkali membuat kekacauan, Johnny English tetap akan menyelamatkan dunia tanpa kegagalan. Siapa yang akan pernah bosan melihat aksi kocak nan humoris dari Rowan Atkinson yang sudah sangat melekat dengan karakter Mr. Bean? Masih ingat film “Mr. Bean’s Holiday” dan “Johnny English” pertama? Masing-masing penulisnya berkolaborasi dengan sutradara Oliver Parker yang bikin hit film komedi budget rendah “St. Trinian’s”, jadi bisa dijamin sekuel Johnny English ini juga akan mengaduk perut kamu dengan tawa kocak kekonyolan action ala-ala agen rahasianya. Perhatikan juga bagaimana Playbook BlackBerry yang menjadi sponsor akan menjadi salah satu gadget utama yang dipakai oleh Johnny English. Samarkan diri, bawa gadget terkeren, dan latih aksen British kamu jika ingin menjadi seperti si Johnny English! Cooler gadgets, trickier mission, same bumbling secret agent. Yes, Johnny English from MI7 is back in action after honing his skills for years in a remote region in Asia. Now he must save the Chinese premier’s life from an rogue agent turned assasin, while uncovering a web of conspiracy that involves the KGB, CIA and M17 itself. Using every trick in the dashing secret agent’s book, failure is quite simply not an option. Whoever said that a secret agent should be serious and can’t make you laugh out loud?
Super 8 Mystery, Sci-Fi, Thriller. Writer and Director: J.J. Abrams. Cast: Joel Courtney, Riley Griffiths, Elle Fanning, Amanda Michalka, Kyle Chandler, Noah Emmerich, Ketika Si Kecil Joe Lamb mengayuh sepedanya sepanjang jalan di kota kecil Lillian, kita langsung teringat akan Elliott di E.T.: The Extra Terrestrial. Bedanya, di Super 8, Joe Lamb punya “kerjaan” yaitu membuat film “indie” bersama teman-teman baiknya, termasuk Charles dan Alice (Elle Fanning). Kamera yang mereka gunakan pun merekam sebuah kecelakaan kereta yang sedang mengangkut “sesuatu” di dalamnya. Joe Lamb dan teman-temannya menjadi saksi sebuah insiden yang membuat mereka dicari oleh pihak-pihak yang menyembunyikan rahasia tentang muatan kereta tersebut. Padat dengan aksi dan ketegangan, serta penuh dengan bumbu komedi yang lahir dari pertemanan anak-anak hiperaktif semacam Joe dan Charles, Super 8 adalah sebuah hiburan yang menyegarkan. (Tolong jangan berharap lebih dari itu.) Bagian paling bagus dari film ini adalah ujungnya ketika kita menonton film “indie” yang sudah dirampungkan oleh anak-anak itu sepanjang Super 8 yang selesai dengan begitu saja. “Production value, production value!” screams Chubby Charles, acting as director of an indie movie he’s shooting with his friend Joe Lamb, our unlikely hero in this scifi romp from J.J. Abrams and Steven Spielberg. Even without considering Spielberg’s influence, the homage to ET: The Extra Terrestrial is clear, but there’s nothing genteel about this action-packed slice of Americana. Keep watching as the credits roll to see the final cut of Charles’ movie project.

Indonesian Designers Show Their Best At World Batik Summit Style

M
any of us may have heard that Indonesia hosted the World Batik Summit 2011, held from September 28th to October 2nd at the Jakarta Convention Center. For those who didn’t hear about the summit, it was an event that united batik loving countries around the world to showcase all the different styles. Participating countries included the United States, Australia, Netherlands, China, Philippines, the UK, Japan, Germany, Malaysia, France and Tunisia. The summit featured an international conference about batik, batik exhibitions, batik photo exhibitions, a gala dinner and fashion show. For the fashion show, seven Indonesian designers got the chance to show off their ability to design using batik. The designers were Anne
Avantie, Bi Batik, Carmanita, Chossy Latu, Parang Kencana, Danar Hadi, Ramli and Sebastian Gunawan. As usual, what we saw from Anne’s collection was the graceful and glittering kebaya. This time, she attempts to match contemporary kebaya fashions with classic batik motifs from Solo and Jogjakarta. Unlike Anne Avantie, Bi Batik has created contemporary styled apparel that is influenced by Japanese touches using batik from Madura, Bantul and Cirebon, combined with non-traditional fabrics. Meanwhile, Carmanita is more playful in her dress designs, with brightcoloured classic batik in loose silhouettes, and Chossy chose monochrome batik with floral and butterfly motifs, transforming it into 1940s inspired garments. Danar Hadi has gone for a more formal approach, with a range of men’s shirts and long gowns with elegantly subtle batik designs. Parang Kencana also focused his attention on long gowns and men’s shirts, although Parang used softer colours such as turquoise, greys and purples. The show continued as Ramli showed off his collection of batik prada, before finally Sebastian Gunawan showcased his elegant collection of Pekalongan batik.

John Galliano New Fragrance Speeks the Words of Love Amalia - editor of www. fashionesedaily. com – Style & Beauty with Attitude

hen I first got my hands on John Galliano’s newest fragrance, Parlez-moi d’Amour, in its white box with floral stamp on the top right corner of the box, it somehow felt like receiving a letter. Opening the box and finding the bottle of perfume shaped like a rose-coloured glass envelope, also with a stamp, only confirmed that feeling. Love letters are very romantic, no matter how short or cheesy they are, and the gesture is very heart warming. Now people take love letters for granted because of the ease of communication through email, instant messages and even Twitter.
feel the musky and woody notes featuring cypress, Indonesian patchouli and musk at work
‘Parlez-moi d’Amour’ - translated to ‘speak to me of love‘ is all about a modern day love affair that is bottled and presented through fruity floral notes. It‘s opened up with a fresh bloom of ginger, bergamot and blueberries which take center stage. Just like any love story, this fragrance begins with a strong scent that settles down after being warmed on the skin.
This scent is geared up toward the 20-something audience, but it’s really fitting for anyone trying to find a scent that has a young feel to it. Like a love letter, you’ll find many wonderful feelings when you spray this fragrance. John Galliano Parlez-moi d’Amour is available in 50 ml (Rp 850,000) and 80ml (Rp 975,000) bottles from all good stockists.
Layers of floral notes, jasmin sambac, lavender oil and Turkish rose all hint towards the seductive notion of youth. Doesn’t feeling in love always make you feel young? As it soaks into your skin,

What’s good about this fragrance is unravelling layers of the various scents. Although it’s fronted by Taylor Momsen who has a really rebellious image, the fragrance has no rebellious air to it at all. John Galliano said, on choosing Momsen as the face for the fragrance, it is because he wanted a romantic young rock chic, and Momsen was the perfect face to bring this new essence because she embodies this image.

S
ecular modernity exists all over the world, particularly in the pages of glossy, lifestyle magazines. But behind that shiny modern face, there’s an unbearable violence - a world which is fighting with itself. Blown by the winds of globalization, modernity has spread to all corners of the globe, creating as many problems as it solves. Fundamentalist movements often provoke radical reactions from a world marked by the return of religion in a post secular era. Wedhar is a contemporary Javanese artist who seeks to show that conflict. He steals the glossy pictures from magazines of global capitalist culture and comically combines them with images of human
fear and violence to create a parody of consumerism with his drawings, paintings, and objects d’art. Wedhar Riyadi was born in Yogyakarta, Indonesia in 1980. He studied at the Fine Arts Faculty of Yogyakarta Indonesian Art Institute. His works often blend dark and humourous elements inspired by science fiction, horror, cartoons, music and fashion in various mediums such as drawings, murals, comics, illustrations, stickers, posters and three dimensional objects. Wedhar is now considered something of a new rising star in the contemporary visual art world in Indonesia. He took part in a project and residency in
Okinawa, Japan in 2008, and also has partaken in a series of group exhibitions in a few international galleries in Singapore, Hong Kong, New York and Switzerland. Wedharhas was also chosen as one of the participants of Biennale Jogja XI 2011 and Asia Pacific Triennale 2012.

L
ittle white Lies are usually told with the best of intentions, and this is the theme for Dita Gambiro’s first solo show. Dita’s ‘White Lies’ explore the values that we invariably need to deal with in a loving relationship (perhaps in social relationships as well), especially in relation to trust. In the exhibition, Dita presents to us the issue of trust in a series of works, which she has constructed by processing a variety of common shapes that are familiar especially to women. There are high-heeled shoes, boots, gloves, bags, and dresses made of breaded hair, combined with brass objects such as keys on a wooden table, clothes hangers in a goldish hue and a knife. These objects represent the issue of ambiguity that is related to love and relationships, the institution of marriage, and also the fragments of domestic life. At the same time, they also create signs of doubts. Meanwhile, for women the hair is a symbol of beauty, a sacred crown. The use of a variety of forms or methods of hair braiding becomes a significant element in Dita’s oeuvre. Apart from serving as symbols and metaphors for the themes in her works, aesthetically and artistically the hair serves as an interesting alternative in terms of idiom. Dita uses a range of types and colours of hair that are on sale in many traditional markets such as the ones in Yogyakarta.
With her hair works, Dita talks about the different issues around her, a young woman experiencing contemporary urban culture. She arranges the hair braids and combines them with various elements, using them as unlimited metaphors. For example, making a huge hair bun or creating an igloo, a dress, or a broom. Dita presents her signs and symbols in a highly characteristic way. Her braided hair works seem familiar to us, appearing quite relaxed - laden with fashion references, and at the same time slightly agitated and peppered with tension, irony, and humour. Show open till October 25, 2011

Restaurant and Lounge
he culinary spectrum of Bali is growing ever more diverse, particularly at the epicurean end of things, where French, Italian and Japanese cuisines are well represented by a select group of high-end eateries. Flying the flag for serious Turkish cuisine, Petitenget’s Tulip restaurant and lounge joins the island’s elite list of restaurants that provide quality service, tasteful décor, and above all amazingly good food created by passionate people. If you’re after a greasy doner, you’ve come to the wrong place.Tulip serves up the freshest and finest authentic Turkish food this side of Istanbul for lunch and dinner, with a vast array of meze tasters sitting alongside both vegetarian and carnivorous mains - not to mention devilish desserts and an impressive wine list. Once past the ample car parking area in front (don’tcha just hate having to park on the street around Seminyak?), the restaurant opens out on to a breezy garden area with two large lilly ponds either side of a raised walkway to the back. A large bar runs down the right side, with classically elegant wooden chairs and tables scattered throughout. Being so far back from the road, the overall ambience is pleasingly chilled out, with the muted sounds of classic jazz spilling lazily out of the speakers. Currently playing host to family from home, I decide to bring along the rabble to help me out with things. Lucky I did to, as the meze tray selection of no less than 17 different Turkish style tapas certainly plays well to a crowd. Prepared fresh everyday, the meze selections are available individually for between 25-30k+, or as a package

Every single one looks suitably tempting, but we manage to exercise a bit of restraint and pick out the hummous, haydari, circassain chicken, kopoglu and muammara, along with a bowl of freshly baked ciabatta and Turkish puff bread. To round off the starters, we order up a couple of Turkish pizzas, namely the kasarli and sucuku pide, and lahmacun (30k+), which I’m reliably informed was around long before the Italians started smearing tomatoes onto flat bits of bread... I could quite easily graze on this kind of food all day, but it’s time for the mains, which come in the form of the steamed barramundi (90k+), and the Tulip signature dish of kuzu guvec (140k+). Although the tender white barramundi is nothing less than mouthwatering, it’s the seven hours slow cooked lamb and vegetables of the signature dish that is the clear crowd pleaser. A Mediterranean salad (40k+) rounds off the mains. Despite being just three months in town, Tulip has already made a name for itself with its dessert list, and so without too much persuasion, I’m convinced that we should put this reputation to the test, and before long we’re crossing dessert spoons over a plate of profiteroles (45k+) and the latticed sugar of the spectacular sutlac (35k+). With a lounge areas complete with sofas and shishas on the way and late night snacks available on Saturdays, the future looks assured for this new addition to Petitenget’s fine dining scene.
