"They'll make more"
2 August 2013 | by  (United States) – See all my reviews
Lynn Shelton's sophomore film Your Sister's Sister was a terrific little independent gem, showcasing relationships involving siblings and the complexities that surround quiet but notable flings we may neglect to mention to our friends. With a talented cast of three (Rosemarie DeWitt, Emily Blunt, and the wonderful Mark Duplass) it was a favorable experience to say the least. Shelton returns a year later with Touchy Feely which, to say the least, is a disappointing effort after batting a triple in 2012.

Your Sister's Sister worked because it was predicated off of human interest and realism in its events and dialog. Shelton asserted herself in human dialog, and immersed herself in the breathtaking beauty of Seattle's woodsy environment, making the film easy-on-the-eyes and very effective. Here, she makes Touchy Feely exist in what appears to be a fantasy realm, where real-life situations occupy a plot-point of science-fiction that's not only a bit offputting but difficult to adjust to. When the film introduces these plot-points, it only becomes that much harder to stay in-tuned with it, which is an issue seeing as that's the film's central plot.

Rosemarie DeWitt is Abby, a skilled masseuse who, all of a sudden, becomes frightened by the touch/texture of human flesh. This is a major issue because it renders her job impossible. Her brother Paul (Josh Pais) works as a dentist, with his directionless daughter Jenny (Ellen Page). When Jenny impulsively states that Paul has a "healing touch" when it comes to his dental work, the fib becomes true as Paul's work begins to heal many of his customers and their dental issues.

So, while Abby's job begins to crumble before her eyes due to her newfound aversion to human skin, Paul's dentistry practices begin to flourish and the possibilities become endless on his part. We, as the audience, are simply asked to observe this happening and this is precisely the issue; the film is void of connection and moments where true sympathy could've been evoked. We learn nothing about these characters except some of their situations are sad, some make us envious, but in the end, all of them are pretty trite and forgettable.

Touchy Feely's issue comes from two things; one, it feels more gridlocked to a story, where Your Sister's Sister was breezy and flowed in the wind, thanks to improvisational dialog. The other is that it tries to humanize something inhuman, which are relationships. It tries to make them the point of focus in the film and forgets we need to see the characters involved in the relationship to make them work.

At the end of the film - which runs a rather short eighty-three minutes
  • I thought about Lynn Shelton and how Your Sister's Sister struck me
with so much surprise and how little excitement this effort packed. I simply console and toy with the idea that she is young, smart, and clearly passionate about not only her home-state of Seattle but film as an artistic medium. I say what I do after watching a mediocre Woody Allen movie; "they'll make more."

Starring: Rosemarie DeWitt, John Pais, Ellen Page, Scoot McNairy, Allison Janney, and Ron Livingston. Directed by: Lynn Shelton.

Fresh but shallow
6 September 2013 | by  (Mumbai, India) – See all my reviews
Director Mr. Maneesh Sharma work is good. He has taken the movie ahead from the script. Script is written by Jaideep Sahni, and it is average. Story line is new but very thin. Scenes are fresh but they get slow very often, especially in second half. Dialogues are good. Actually, what has been shown in promo and trailer, is undoubtedly best part of film. All characters in the film are somewhere underplayed and somewhere exaggerated. There are very few scenes which succeed to touch the heart, actually it just pat the heart and then move away. The main emotion in this love story is the confusion of characters, rather than love, so they reflect fake at the places. It is difficult to relate with any one of them completely. Look of the film and approach towards every scene is new. Director of photography, Manu Anand work is impressive. Performance wise Sushant Singh Rajput as Raghu, is natural and good. Parineeti Chopra as Gayetri, is fine. Vaani Kapoor as Tara, is impressive, especially her cute smile, which she used in max of the scenes. Rishi Kapoor is on the top. Fine actor Rajesh Sharma as Mausa ji , is wasted. Music by Sachin Jigar is good, title track is very good

Don Jon (2013) Poster




Storyline

His buddies even call him Don Jon because of his ability to pull "10s" every weekend without fail. Yet even the finest flings don't compare to the transcendent bliss he achieves alone in front of the computer watching pornography. Dissatisfied, he embarks on a journey to find a more gratifying sex life, but ends up learning larger lessons of life and love through relationships with two very different women. Written by SophiaLB

Joseph Gordon-Levitt delivers a Stinging Critique of Modern Relationships
12 March 2013 | by JustCuriosity (Austin, TX, United States) – See all my reviews
Don Jon was very well-received in its regional premiere at the Paramount Theatre during Austin's SXSW Film Festival. The film was written, directed and starred Joseph Gordon-Levitt. He did a really fine job for his writing and directorial debut, but he may have been trying to do too much. The acting by Gordon-Levitt, Scarlett Johansson, Julianne Moore, Tony Danza, Glenne Headly, and Brie Larson is quite good. I think it is Gordon-Levitt's script that leaves something to be desired. His character Jon is a very successful ladies' man who is also heavily addicted to masturbating to internet porn – numerous times daily. Many people will find the film to be quite funny and enjoyable. However, the graphic use of porn will not be to everybody's taste and may be off-putting to viewers – particularly female viewers. I'm also wondering whether the extensive use of porn will lead to the MPAA giving it the kiss-of-death NC-17 rather than an R rating.

JGL's script is well-intentioned and he is trying to make the point that many people become so self-absorbed that they lose the ability to interact with others on a human level. Jon is deadened to real romance by his reliance on porn. His girlfriend has an overly romanticized view of relationships based on watching too many romantic movies. They are both so self-absorbed and selfish that they can't really build a real relationship. Still, it was often difficult to figure out what JGL's point was and in many ways became clearer listening to him during the Q&A after the film. JGL is attempting to raise profound issues about human relationships in the modern era, but he hasn't quite figured out how to do that as a writer and director. I expect that he is going to become as fine a director and writer as he already is an actor. He has a fine future ahead of him.

Tingkatkan Konsentrasi Anak Dengan Mendengarkan Musik

Musik dapat melatih anak untuk lebih fokus dan konsentrasi. Salah satu cara mengajarkan musik dilakukan dengan metode hand bell. Cara ini mengajarkan anak harmonisasi warna dan nada karena mereka harus memilih satu gambar yang sesuai dengan nada yang ditentukan.

Anak-anak diharuskan belajar alat musik perkusi/Kursus Musik seperti tamborin. Durasinya tidak lama, cukup 30 menit dalam sepekan untuk anak kelompok bermain dan 40-45 menit untuk usia TK. ”Namanya anak TK, mereka baru dalam tahap pengenalan. Mereka belajar mengikuti irama. Daya konsentrasinya masih belum total,” ungkap Sisca.

Anak ada yang mudah menangkap, ada juga yang lebih lambat. Akan tetapi, bermusik sedari kecil dapat meningkatkan nilai musikalitas anak, ini yang ***ngkapkan Sisca.

Ada satu hal yang membuat Sisca terkesan dengan anak-anak didiknya. Ketika Sisca memanggil mereka tampil dalam beberapa kelompok, mereka saling memberi semangat. Menurut Sisca, ini menjadi cara yang sangat baik bagi anak-anak untuk saling menghargai.

Anak yang memiliki talenta musik, atau paling tidak yang sering mendengarkan lagu di rumah, akan terlihat. Pengenalan potensi ini dapat membantu untuk mengetahui dan mengembangkan titik-titik yang perlu dikembangkan dari anak. Anak tersebut biasanya langsung bisa dicirikan sebab kemampuan mereka untuk mengikuti irama berbeda dengan yang tidak mendengarkan musik/Les Musik.

Semakin banyak orang tua yang menyadari bahwa belajar/Kursus Musik dan bermain musik adalah salah satu cara mengembangkan dan menyeimbangkan otak kiri dan kanan. Sisca menyatakan setuju dengan hal ini. ”Saya merasa itu benar, saya perhatikan anak yang belajar ikut Kursus Musik, mereka rata-rata memiliki nilai yang baik dalam mata pelajaran yang lain. Jarang ada anak yang musiknya bagus, peringkatnya kurang bagus,” ungkap sisca.

Dengan ikut kursus musik juga, anak belajar movement, mereka belajar mengikuti gerak. Ini meningkatkan kepekaan sensorik anak dan dengan kepekaan tersebut kemampuan anak dalam memperkirakan terhadap ruang, arah, dan waktu bisa terbangun.

Dengan kombinasi gerakan yang mengikuti, musik dapat merangsang kesadaran anak terhadap tempo dari ketukan-ketukan nada. Gerakan tersebut membuat mereka juga belajar singkronisasi ritme dan urutan-urutan gerakan.

Para orang tua yang tidak menyukai musik klasik tidak perlu kuatir. Musik yang bermanfaat bagi anak bukan hanya musik klasik. Jenis musik yang ritmenya seperti detakan jantung ini memang lebih memungkinkan untuk mengembangkan otak, jiwa, serta pembentukan karakter. Namun, untuk memperkenalkan musik, membentuk karakter anak yang tekun untuk belajar, bisa dilakukan dengan jenis musik lain seperti pop, jazz, atau yang lebih easy listening, dan usahakan yang alunannya cenderung tenang.

Yuk Tengok Sejarah Forklift



Pertengahan abad ke-19 sampai awal abad ke-20 melihat perkembangan yang menuju forklift modern masa kini. Pennsylvania Railroad pada tahun 1906 memperkenalkan platform bertenaga baterai truk untuk memindahkan barang-barang di Altoona mereka, Pennsylvania stasiun kereta api. Perang Dunia I melihat perkembangan berbagai jenis peralatan penanganan material di Britania Raya oleh Ransomes, Sims dan Jeffries dari Ipswich. Ini sebagian karena kekurangan tenaga kerja yang disebabkan oleh perang. Clark tahun 1917 di Amerika Serikat mulai mengembangkan dan menggunakan tenaga traktor dan bertenaga mengangkat traktor di pabrik-pabrik mereka. Pada 1919, Perusahaan dan Towmotor Yale & Towne Manufaktur pada tahun 1920 memasuki lift pasar truk di Amerika Serikat.

Melanjutkan pengembangan dan perluasan penggunaan dari forklift terus berlanjut sampai tahun 1920-an dan 1930-an. Perang Dunia II, seperti Perang Dunia I sebelumnya, memacu penggunaan forklift truk dalam upaya perang. Setelah perang, metode yang lebih efisien untuk menyimpan produk di gudang sedang dilaksanakan. Gudang perlu lebih banyak bermanuver forklift truk yang bisa mencapai ketinggian lebih besar. Forklift baru dibuat model yang memenuhi kebutuhan ini. Pada 1956 Toyota memperkenalkan model truk angkat pertama, Model LA, di Jepang dan dijual forklift pertama di Amerika Serikat pada tahun 1967.

Dan sekarang banyak kita jumpai forklift dan tempat jual forklift. Seiring perkembangan kebutuhan forklift menjadi meningkat dan tempat-tempat jual forklift juga menyebar di dunia, menjadi lahan bisnis tersendiri
