Arthur And The Revenge Of Maltazard Movie

One upcoming movie to indonesian's cinema, and absolutly the next of Freddie Highmore's movie. Arthur And The Revenge Of Maltazard Movie is the sequel of Arthur and the Invisibles. This movie contain of a half animation and also half live action part, was released on November 26, 2009, and directed (also written) by Luc Besson.

The story taken time in the 1960s. 13-year-old Arthur stays with his grandparents in the holidays. He is befriended with a Maasai-like tribe called the Bogo Matassalai and with the Minimoys, tooth-sized, elfin beings, who all live there in the garden. The Bogo Matassalai grant Arthur a distinction regarding being one with nature, after succeeding in a series of tests, such as hugging a tree for hours, sleeping with a wild animal, and eating grass.



The Bogo Matassalai are capable of transforming a person to a Minimoy. It is only possible every tenth full moon, at midnight. Arthur is about to undergo this procedure, to visit the Minimoys (who are expecting him and preparing a party for him), and especially his beloved Selenia. A spider delivers to Arthur a grain of rice with the message "help", which must come from the Minimoys, and makes it even more important for him to visit them.

Arthur's father wants to kill bees, since Arthur is allergic to bee stings. However, his own father Archibald objects because of his respect for nature.Therefore Arthur's father wants to take the boy home earlier than planned. At a gas station Arthur escapes from the car and returns to his grandparents' house. The Bogo Matassalai attempt to transform him using a telescope, but this method fails due to clouds covering the full moon. Therefore Arthur asks the Bogo Matassalai to apply the alternative method, even though it is more dangerous. They agree. Arthur is wound into ropes, which are pulled more and more tight. It is so painful that Arthur begs them to stop, but it is too late to abort the procedure. It is successful.

It turns out that the bad Maltazard sent the message to lure Arthur, so that Maltazard can use the passage back, which is available at the next noon. Thus he arrives in the world of humans, enlarged to their size. He is pleased to see that animals are afraid of him (wikipedia).

I was surprised when saw Freddie in this movie. He still young, I mean not like 17th years old boy. But this movie was made in 2007 and he was 15 years old.
This movie was dedicated to celebrate Christmas 2009, and the next sequel, Arthur and the War of the Two Worlds, is planned for Christmas 2010. Hohoh... can not wait to see Freddie again. Let see the trailer

Boys Like Girls featuring Taylor Swift- Two Is Better Than One

Really great featuring that I know, Boys Like Girls featuring Taylor Swift with their song, Two is better.

From Billboard.com, Boys Like Girls roared into the top 40 this summer with the hyperactive single "Love Drunk," but for its follow-up, the band slows things down and displays a softer side. The group pairs up with Taylor Swift for "Two Is Better Than One," which fits its own repertoire as well as the country star's. Lead singer/songwriter Martin Johnson's falsetto complements Swift's sweet tone, and producer Brian Howes builds an orchestral arrangement around their vocals that would be well-suited to a climactic movie moment. The delicate violin strings, conducted by David Campbell, echo the song's declaration about the importance of mending a relationship on the rocks. Already on track to be another hit for Boys Like Girls, this moving duet stands as proof of its own title.

Let listen their song, hmm.. Absoloutly my lovely song, especially on the starting.



And I like the lyric, so deply and hmm... let see.

Boys Like Girls featuring Taylor Swift- Two Is Better Than One Lyric

I remember what you wore on the first day
You came into my life
And I thought hey
You know this could be something

'Cause everything you do and words you say
You know that it all takes my breath away
And now I'm left with nothing

'Cause maybe it's true, that I can't live without you
Well maybe two is better than one
There's so much time, to figure out the rest of my life
And you've already got me coming undone
And I'm thinking two, is better than one

I remember every look upon your face,
The way you roll your eyes, the way you taste
You make it hard for breathing
'Cause when I close my eyes and drift away
I think of you and everythings okay
And finally now, we're leaving

And maybe it's true, that I can't live without you
Well maybe two is better than one
There's so much time, to figure out the rest of my life
And you've already got me coming undone
And I'm thinking two, is better than one

Yeah, yeah

I remember what you wore on the first day
You came into my life
And I thought hey

Maybe it's true, that I can't live without you
Maybe two is better than one
There's so much time, to figure out the rest of my life
And you've already got me coming undone
And I'm thinking

Oooh I can't live without you
'Cause baby two is better than one
There's so much time, to figure out the rest of my life
And I've figured out with all that's said and done
Two, is better than one

Ilse Delange - Stay With Me Lyric

Sometimes I wake to catch the sun
Watch it rise before it runs routines
I turn around you’re lying there
Like a Polaroid, a flash of you and me

Love me, never let me go

Stay with me
For just another moment
‘Till you fade from me again
You come and go just like the wind
Whispering, and I give in
So stay with me
Stay with me

Like the Summer days in hourglasses
Slowly bloomed then quickly passed away
The butterflies have long gone still
I saved them all and put them on display

Love me, never let me go

Stay with me
For just another moment
‘Till you fade from me again
You come and go just like the wind
Whispering, and I give in
So stay with me
Stay with me

Let me get lost in
My only memory is you
I would give all I have
I’ll hold my hand out
Hoping that you’ll find
And if you do

On my way to catch a train
On an early morning, pouring rainy grey
I saw a man come round the bend
The way he stopped and turned his head to say, I heard him say

Stay with me
For just another moment
‘Till you fade from me again
Stay with me
For just another moment
‘Till you fade from me again
You come and go just like the wind
Whispering, and I give in
So stay with me
Send "Stay Wit

And here are the lyric

Lady Antebellum - Need You Now

Picture perfect memories,
Scattered all around the floor.
Reaching for the phone cause, I can’t fight it any more.
And I wonder if I ever cross your mind.
For me it happens all the time.

It’s a quarter after one, I’m all alone and I need you now.
Said I wouldn’t call but I lost all control and I need you now.
And I don’t know how I can do without, I just need you now.

Another shot of whiskey, can’t stop looking at the door.
Wishing you’d come sweeping in the way you did before.
And I wonder if I ever cross your mind.
For me it happens all the time.

It’s a quarter after one, I’m a little drunk,
And I need you now.
Said I wouldn’t call but I lost all control and I need you now.
And I don’t know how I can do without, I just need you now.

Yes I’d rather hurt than feel nothing at all.
It’s a quarter after one, I’m all alone and I need you now.
And I said I wouldn’t call but I’m a little drunk and I need you now.
And I don’t know how I can do without, I just need you now.
I just need you now.
Oh baby I need you now.
