Is This The Most Personal Song by CB?

Everybody sees it’s you.
I’m the one that lost the view.
Everybody says we’re through.
I hope you haven’t said it too.

So where do we go from here,
With all this fear in our eyes?
And, where can love take us now?
We’ve been so far down.
We can still touch the sky.

If we crawl
‘til we can walk again
Then we’ll run
Until we’re strong enough to jump.
Then we’ll fly
Until there is no end.
So let’s crawl, crawl, crawl
Back to love.
Yeah, back to love, yeah.

Why did I change the pace?
Hearts were never meant to race.
Always felt the need for space.
And now I can’t reach your face.

So where are you standing now?
Are you in the crowd of my faults?
Love, can’t you see my hand?
I need one more chance.
We can still have it all.

So we’ll crawl
‘til we can walk again.
Then we’ll run
Until we’re strong enough to jump.
Then we’ll fly
Until there is no end
So let’s crawl, crawl, crawl
Back to love.
Yeah, back to love, yeah.

Everybody sees it’s you.
Well I never wanna lose that view.

So we’ll crawl
‘til we can walk again.
Then we’ll run
Until we’re strong enough to jump.
Then we’ll fly
Until there is no end.
So let’s crawl, crawl, crawl.

So we’ll crawl
‘til we can walk again.
Then we’ll run
Until we’re strong enough to jump.
Then we’ll fly
Until there is no end.
So let’s crawl, let’s crawl, let’s crawl
Back to love.

Note : "Crawl" is the second single off Chris Brown's upcoming third album Graffiti. The single has been confirmed by Chris Brown saying that it would be released on November 13, 2009. The song was co-written by Nasri, Adam Messinger, and Luke James, and was produced by The Messengers.

The melancholy "Crawl" features Brown pensively singing about a relationship that has slipped out of his hands; lyrical parallels to his situation with Rihanna are inevitable. The two briefly reunited after their much-publicized February altercation, however, following ongoing court hearings and stay-away orders, the pair has split. "When I heard the whole concept and everything I was like, 'Yo, this is crazy," Brown said about the track. He also said that it could be the best record he's ever done.

"Everybody sees it's you/ I'm the one that lost the view ," Brown sings. "Everybody says we're through/ I hope you haven't said it, too."

The music video was directed by Joseph Kahn, who also worked with Brown on the I Can Transform Ya and Forever videos. The parallel to his own shattered relationship with Rihanna is hard to dismiss, and as the director of the "Crawl" video, Joseph Kahn, said, "It's probably his most personal thing he's ever done". He also predicted the visuals to "Crawl" will make as much of an impact as the song. But Brown told MTV News that the song actually isn't just about his own relationships. He said "Crawl" is more of a universal message dedicated to moving on past any type of heartache. The video for "Crawl" features R&B artist and model Cassie. The video premiered on the Wendy Williams Show on Friday, November 13, 2009.

At the beginning of the video, we see Brown sitting on his bed with his heart being seen through his shirt as he starts to sing the first verse. The scene then changes to the street where we see load of paparazzi taking photos of Cassie and Chris standing there hoping she will notice him, but she does not so Chris walks away. The scene changes and Cassie walks into a shop where Chris is standing but he walks out singing which gets Cassie's attention. Then they are both seen walking towards each other where they meet in the middle.

2012

Sinopsis : In 2009, American scientist Adrian Helmsley travels to India to meet his friend Satnam, who has discovered that neutrinos from a massive solar flare have penetrated the Earth and are causing the temperature of its core to increase rapidly. Adrian returns to Washington D.C. to inform White House Chief of Staff Carl Anheuser and US President Thomas Wilson that this will instigate a chain of events that will bring about the end of the world. At the 36th G8 summit in 2010, other heads of state and heads of government are made aware of the situation. They collaborate to begin a secret project intended to ensure the continuity of human life, strategically choosing 400,000 people for admission on a series of gigantic arks to be constructed in the Himalayas. To help fund the venture, additional individuals are allowed to purchase tickets for one billion euros apiece.

In 2012, Jackson Curtis is a divorced father who works as a limousine driver and writer in Los Angeles. His ex-wife Kate and their children Noah and Lily live with her new boyfriend, plastic surgeon and amateur pilot Gordon. Jackson takes Noah and Lily on a camping trip to Yellowstone National Park, where they meet Charlie Frost, a radio show host and conspiracy theorist. Charlie supports a theory that suggests the Mayans predicted the world would come to an end in 2012. The family return home as cracks begin to develop along the San Andreas Fault in California and earthquakes occur in the San Francisco Bay area. Jackson grows suspicious and rents a private plane to rescue his family. He collects his family and Gordon as the Earth's crust displacement begins, and they escape Los Angeles as it collapses into the Pacific Ocean.

As millions begin dying in apocalyptic earthquakes worldwide, the group flies to Yellowstone to retrieve from Charlie a map detailing the location of the arks. The group narrowly escapes as the Yellowstone Caldera erupts. Charlie, who had elected to stay behind to witness the eruption, is killed by the blast. Realizing the arks are in China, the group lands in Las Vegas, where they meet Russian billionaire Yuri Karpov, one of Jackson's limousine clients. Yuri, his twin sons, girlfriend Tamara, and pilot Sasha join the group as they secure a larger plane and head across the Pacific. Also bound for the arks aboard Air Force One are Anheuser, Adrian, and First Daughter Laura Wilson. President Wilson decided to remain in Washington D.C., and he is soon killed by a tsunami that sends the USS John F. Kennedy crashing into the White House. With the Vice President dead and the Speaker of the House missing, Anheuser appoints himself acting Commander-in-Chief.

Yuri, who has purchased ark tickets for himself and his sons, deserts the Curtis family, Gordon, and Tamara upon arriving in China in a crash-landing that kills Sasha. However, the abandoned group is picked up by Nima, a Buddhist monk. Together, they begin sneaking onto an ark with the help of Nima's brother Tenzin, an ark project worker. Learning that a tsunami is approaching, Anheuser orders the arks be sealed before the boarding process is complete, trapping thousands outside. Adrian manages to convince the other G8 leaders to let the remaining people on board. As the ark's drawbridges are lowered, Gordon is crushed between the gears, which soon become entangled with a thick cable. Yuri sacrifices his life to get his two sons on in time, but the cable prevents the gate from closing, rendering the ship unable to start its engines. The tsunami arrives and begins to flood the ark, drowning Tamara and setting the ark helplessly adrift. Jackson and Noah work together to fix the closing mechanism. The gate closes and the crew regains control of the ark, preventing a fatal collision with Mount Everest.

When the floodwater from the worldwide tsunamis eventually recedes, satellite data shows that Africa rose in relation to sea level and may not have flooded at all. As three arks set sail for the Cape of Good Hope, Jackson reconciles with his family, and Adrian starts a relationship with Laura. The movie ends with a view of the Earth showing the dramatically-changed African continent.

Nota Jase : Bila keluar panggung memang terasa puas meskipun plot sebegini adalah plot kitar semula propaganda Hollywood (tiada beza dengan Independence Day, Armageddon dsb). Saya menonton dengan hati terbuka. Enjoy akan teknik CGI yang digunakan. Ada banyak kebetulan yang memang telah di sangka. Sang hero bukanlah daripada keturunan yang terlalu baik (watak putih). Menjadi penyelamat dunia dan spesies manusia akan datang. Happy Ending sudah tentu - adakala seperti filem Bollywood yang menjadi escapism kepada realiti. Ada watak naif. Ada watak antagonis. Tiada yang baru kecuali teknik canggih yang membuatkan kita melopong. Ada banyak ciri-ciri jalan selamat (dari sudut skrip) yang digunakan seperti kemusnahan tidak melibatkan Kaabah. Filem ini memang ditunggu-tunggu dan memang akan jadi BOX-OFFICE.

EUFF2009 : Buitenspel (Gilles)

Sinopsis (beware of spoiler..Hahaha) :
This thoughtful and inspirational coming of age drama from Belgium is perfect for the entire family. It chronicles 12 year old "Gilles" played wonderfully by Ilya Van Malderghem whose dream (as well as his father's) as a young football player is to become a member of the Belgium National under 15 team "The Red Devils". Not unlike other sports oriented children his walls are covered with posters and pictures all the football greats. Dad, his most enthusiastic supporter, is a greengrocer who is more concerned with his son's ambition than running the store properly. One day Gilles' right ankle is injured fairly seriously at one of their games. Unfortunately that is the only foot Gilles uses for kicking when playing. At practice, one day, after what he perceives as a bad call against Gilles, his dad, "Bert" Filip Peeters, throws a massive fit having a fatal heart attack in the process.

Gilles is absolutely devastated on the death of his father avowing to quit playing football. One day after practice he goes to his best friend's, Désiré's, house where he sees Désiré's grandmother practicing their native curious custom of "Orun ReRe" where the true believer brings a picture of a deceased loved one in order to be able to see them again. Soon Gilles brings Bert's picture to Désiré's grandmother to perform the ritual.

One frustrating night as Gilles is trying to fall asleep after being scolded by "Anne" Joke Devynck, his mom, again, he is awoken by the sound of broken glass. Looking around he discovers that it is the glass on his dad's picture that has shattered. Since he can't sleep he takes his football out to kick around when out of nowhere Bert appears to Gilles providing support, guidance, the constant coaching, and most importantly he provides the motivation for Gilles to play again like when he was still alive.

As the injury on Gille's right foot worsens he relents and sees an orthopedist whose outlook on the injury is to quit football at least for several months or risk permanent injury. This does not sit well with Gilles whose dream is to become a member of the Belgian National under 15 team. With the help of the girl who has fallen for Gilles, "Lies" Ninke Gryp provides him with cortisone from her mothers pharmacy for several months. During this time Gilles keeps practicing with his father. His mom, Anne, soon discovers about the Orun ReRe and the visits from dad and becomes very concerned, not only about his foot, but also about the state of Gilles' mental health, although even Anne senses Bert's presence at one of the games. Soon Gilles and Désiré get tryout letters for the national team.

All while this transpires, after Bert's death, the store accountant, "Joris" Peter Bulckaen, and Anne get the store's finances back in order, remodel the store for a higher end clientèle, and in the process fall in love. One day Gilles sees Joris and Anne in the shower and starts resenting Joris even more. Things soon come to a head when Anne finds out that Gilles has hidden the letter from the orthopedist for two weeks and reads him the riot act demanding he quit football. This angers Gilles so much he disappears and has another visit with dad. This visit is much longer and causes Anne and Joris to call in the police to find the missing boy. Dad has something up his sleeve to brighten Gilles up and soon every football hero of dad and son appear to play a game with Gilles. During that game Bert and Gilles have a serious argument about not using his left foot. This argument is so serious that Bert asks Gilles if it is best that he stop seeing Gilles. Tearfully, Gilles agrees that it is time the visits end and he leaves his dad for the last time.

The next morning the police take Anne to where they've found Gilles asleep upon where he is immediately grounded. Unfortunately for Gilles the next day is the game day for the national team tryout. Gilles turns off Anne's alarm clock and goes to the tryout game anyway. Anne soon awakens and realizes what Gilles has done. She immediately proceeds to the stadium and confronts Gilles on the field before the game demanding he not play. Gilles reveals to her that he is no longer seeing his father and pleads with her to at least let him have the glory of trying out upon which she relents. During the game Gilles scores a brilliant goal where immediately after another boy fouls him and fractures his right ankle. Oddly enough the fact that Gilles can't play any longer affects his mother more that it does Gilles who has since come to grips with the fact he can no longer play. In fact, upon returning home Gilles removes every poster and picture of the all of his and dad's favorite football greats and replaces them all with one solitary picture. The picture is the one of his dad where the glass is still shattered.

His friend Désiré is even saddened to tell Gilles the exciting news that he had made the national team but Gilles surprises him by telling him how happy he is that Désiré always deserved to make the team. This scene shows the bonds and caring the boys, from different backgrounds, have for one another and how strong their friendship and loyalty are.

The show ends on a slightly sad high note. Gilles goes to the first game of the Belgian National under 15 Red Devil's match to watch Désiré play. Désiré wins the match and on the closing scene you see the loyalty and camaraderie these two boys always shared. Gilles has also, by this time, come to accept and approve of the relationship between his mother and Joris and is glad that his mother is finally happy again.

This movie is perfect family fare and is great enough to make any Malaysian child willing to read the subtitles.

Jase's Note :
This is a film about making choices, fulfilling dreams, sacrifices, friendship, accepting faith, letting go and above all about love. This movie is HIGHLY recommended by JaseMario for all family that has son by the age of 10 - 12 that crazy about Foot Ball !

Shick Girl !!! Shick Girl !!!

Ini adalah kisah pelayaran. Tentang apa yang berlaku bila mangsa dan pemburu sama-sama terperangkap di atas kapal percutian mewah. Nama kapal percutian ini memang saya kurang pasti. Dua orang gadis pisau cukur (gold digger), Bella (yang telah di kecewakan oleh Jutawan Imran di dalam rancangan reliti "Siapa Yang Ingin Kahwin Dengan Jutawan") dan Intan (seorang pengacara TV - Jejak Jenayah) , bertembung dengan tiga orang Datuk, tiga orang isteri Datuk, dua orang anak Datuk, seorang detektif (Ari) dan seorang peminat setia Bella (Fakir). Bella dan Intan adalah kawan serumah sebenarnya - Intan mengajak Bella turut serta pelayaran ini kerana 'Sugar Daddy' beliau tidak dapat turut serta kerana perlu melihat isterinya yang terlantar di sebuah hospital di Bangkok. Siapakah yang memburu dan siapa pula diburu? Dalam pelayaran yang penuh kejutan dan kelucuan, apa pun boleh terjadi! Termasuklah misteri pembunuhan yang tidak kurang trajisnya.

Maya Karin & Fazura memang berjaya membawa watak gadis gedik yang mencari suami kaya. Aaron Aziz juga tidak mengecewakan dengan watak detektif beliau. Shahredza Minhat (Fakir)juga berjaya membawa watak selamba yang meminati Bella & menjadi rakan tari Cha Cha Cha Bella. Tapi kenapa watak Nas-T (Johan) sedikit sangat? Liyana Jasmay (Suri) (yang akhirnya tertangkap) juga tidak begitu ketara lakonannya.

Secara keseluruhan ia adalah sebuah filem yang ringan meskipun tidak terlalu 'predictable'. Ada bermaca-macam elemen yang boleh kita lihat menjadikan ia hampir sebuah filem yang lengkap. Komedi Selamba. Feel Good. Skripnya mantap. Rafidah memnag ternyata hebat dalam membuat skrip mengenai kehidupan urban.
