Ask Your Vehicle What They Think Of Mobile Car Cleaning

By Mason Millet


It is not an easy job being vehicle in this day and age with the hotter models coming off the production line faster than it takes me to get going in the morning, not to mention the amount of fuel it takes to run us. There are town cars and country cars and those fancy four-wheeled drive cars that are made to go off- roading all the time; everyone always wants those models. It gets jolly cold at nights too, did you know? And when we are outside, freezing our wheels off we still have to rise early and drive you to work. What do you think is the one thing we need in return? To be sound and clean. Yep, that is the one thing we desire and yet occasionally this does not occur. For whatever the reason might be, you always seem too busy to clean us and this just makes us sad and does not really help our dignity when we are up against a bright new, red sports car. As luck would have it there's an answer to our problems, a mobile car cleaning service!

Do you see? I the vehicle am just as busy as you are as I'm the one driving you around to all these significant, and not so significant places you are always going to. The major difference with that is I'm getting plowed with dirt and mud and debris and having mud dry on me leaving a not so gratifying stain. Yes, from time to time the rain will come and wash some of it away, nevertheless it doesn't get rid of everything and it can damage my exterior also. While we are on the subject, have you looked at my exterior of late? Have you noticed that I'm three shades darker than what I was when you bought me? That's not bronzer you know, that's mud and dirt and who knows what else.

Look, I'm not being ungrateful and I thank you for buying me from that car lot, but you do leave a mess every time you get in and out of me and well, I don't think I can take it any longer. Forget about the exterior, have you even stopped to look around at the interior? I've noticed that when you get in the car you pretty much just sit up front and really don't turn around to look at the backseat unless you're reaching around to find your bag. Well, I think you should take a good intense look at the stains on the seats and the expensive leather. Sorry to inform you of this but there are marks on the roof, don't ask me how they got there, but notice how long they have been there for. There are stenches embedded deep within the fabric that I'm pretty sure you cannot smell as you might be used to it because you drive me around so much, and hey, that's what you bought me for and that is what I'll continue to do; but I do need a clean every now and then.

So, you are busy and well, I'm busy too so why not get someone else to take care of it? Say a professional who will come over while I'm resting and clean me up and make me smell good? I've seen other vehicles in the neighborhood that have had this done and it shaved years off their appearance, and their drivers seemed less embarrassed to be seen driving them. That could be us, driving around with no smells, a clean and healthy interior and exterior, with even my engine getting a steam clean so I run a lot better.

A mobile car cleaning service can help me and my overall well-being if you would just look into for me. As your loyal vehicle I think it is the right thing to do since I drive you around all the time and get things dropped on me that you do something for me that would make me ever so happy. Think of the last Christmas present you got me and see if I'm due, and hey, since you drive me around it's like you're getting a gift as well right? It benefits everyone and no one is left out. Why don't we make a deal, if you get me this I promise I won't break down again, how about that?

Movie Downloadable Sites- The Lowdown!

By Glenn Turner


You may be aware that there are plenty of places where you can find movie downloadable websites. The important thing to concern yourself with is that which of these websites are legal.

There are many sites on the internet offering movie downloadables, but there are many of these sites that don't actually claim anywhere upon the site that the things they are doing are legal. Some of those sites even ask the people who wish to promote them, not to use the phrase "legal" when promoting on a blog or website. Makes you wonder what they've got to hide if they worry about the term "legal"!

Something else to look out for with Movie Downloadable websites are the websites that offer or indeed claim to offer file sharing networks. These sites often look rather professional, giving the impression that they must be legal! However with P2P (Peer to Peer) networks, there is no guarantee that the movie downloadable files are a legal copy. My advice on these P2P movie downloadable websites, is that you ensure you go with one backed by one or more of the major movie studios.

Yet another concern with Peer-to-Peer movie downloadable websites is whether the movies are indeed priced appropriately. If you choose to use legal movie downloadable sites, you actually open up their libraries of movies at a much lower price, and these movies, as they are legal, will always be of superior sound and picture quality.

There are many reasons to use the legal movie downloadable websites, and listed below are just a few of these reasons;

To start with, the quality of movies found on legal movie downloadable websites are always immensely greater than the quality of any bootleg copy of that movie will ever be.

I'm sure it's happened to you, you've been watching a bootleg copy of a movie, squinting to watch properly, and trying to figure out what is actually going on because of the fuzzy picture and equally fuzzy sound quality! When it comes to bootleg copies, let's be honest, enjoyment goes out the window in lieu of a stressful atmosphere.

When you use a legitimate authentic movie downloadable website, you guarantee that the movie you are getting is definitely going to be of excellent quality.

Another great thing is that when going through higher end movie downloadable sites you get the latest technology, this allows for the same quality as DVD or Blu-Ray or watching it on TV. This will be where major movie studios are backing the sites, this ensures you get the best quality movies from these movie downloadable sites.

You won't have to worry about breaking the law

There's a chance you are thinking to yourself, I'm sure I can get away with using one of those illegal movie downloadable websites, and in truth, you probably will for a short while, however what is also true is that anyone on internet can be easily tracked through their IP address where they downloaded the movie. If you think this through logically , you will realise that the reality of the situation is that it's not worth the chance of getting yourself caught and being fined a huge amount, when all this effort will eventually have gone towards getting a rubbish bootleg version of a movie.

Illegal movie downloadable sites are actually making legal movie downloadable websites, more costly.

You can be a part of the solution and not a part of the problem if you support movie downloadable websites. Be someone who watches movies and indeed, supports the movie industry in an ethical, legal and guilt-free way, this will ensure that you enjoy movies of supreme quality at all times.

'Never Say Never' Was Good With Justin Bieber

By Shun Smith


Paramount presented their fresh Justin Bieber documentary flick called, "Never Say Never" into theaters this past weekend. I just checked it out, and thought it was definitely interesting mainly because it offered a more deep inside,"behind the scenes," look into the star's rise to fame,and how he maintains his extended success.

The motion picture stars, of course,Justin Bieber,but it also provided appearances from Miley Cyrus,his mentor Usher,Jayden Smith,Boys II Men,Sean Kingston,and rapper Ludacris. The flick centered around,and featured clips from Justin's past,in addition to more recent video clips of his concert tours. It also showed precisely how much work this young 16 year old has given to his career over a very small period of time.

I notably liked when they showed scenes of him performing at talent shows before he became famous. It showed the wide range of songs and types that he can actually sing. It also showed footage of him going back to his hometown after he got well known,but still hung out with his same old friends like any normal teenager.

The movie was rather informative when it revealed how he was found on Youtube. He and his mother would put videos of him singing up on Youtube,and they would get tons of hits. His present manager Scooter Braun noticed him on there,and eventually introduced him to some people in the music industry. Shortly after that,he was singing for Usher.

However, the flick showed how Justin got rejected by a large amount of labels before he was able to get signed. It wasn't until he sung for Usher and won him over,that things started to pan out. From there, Usher introduced him to LA Reid and he amazed him.

Next,it presented video footage of how Justin had to hold on for a little bit before he could start cutting his 1st album. When he finally completed tracks for the album, he went around to each and every radio station in the united states to sing for them. He impressed them,and once his popularity started to rise from all the promotion, they started to play his songs with greater regularity.

It featured video footage from all the concerts he performs night after night,which eventually adds up to hundreds of shows. He eventually had to take a break and cancel a few shows because he damaged his vocal cords. It showed him performing various concerts with celebrities like Boys II Men,Miley Cyrus,Ludacris,Sean Kingsten,and Jayden Smith.

I like how the movie closed out with Justin selling out his "Madison Square Garden" show in 22 minutes. It showed his big performance,and little Jayden Smith stepped in with a rap. Then Justin concluded it by,performing his hit tune titled, "Baby."

I liked the film. It delivered what I thought it would,which was a very good,deep inside look at Justin before he made it big,and a great deal of "behind the scenes" video footage of his concert and private life. Those kinds of documentaries are all commonly reasonably interesting for me,especially when it's about a major star.

It somewhat reminded me of those "E! True Hollywood Story" episodes,accept Justin is probably one of the youngest stars. I gave the movie an A rating.

Blonde Joke Book Is Good Clean Fun

By Eulalia Trimnal


Most of us like to hear a good joke. Unfortunately, it may be really difficult to find good ones that you could repeat to everyone. This blonde jokes book is filled with blonde jokes that aren't full of explicit words or situations.

I personally don't mind a swear word here or there. And I'm fine with stories that are a bit x-rated. But not everyone feels that way. It's really nice to learn some jokes that you can use when talking to virtually anybody.

Maybe I'm just showing my age but it gets tiring as well to hear jokes where the person obviously thought that putting in a swear word again and again will make it funny. It's not. Without any real attempt at humor, it's just plain boring.

The jokes in this book are cute, they're humorous and light-hearted. Yes, it's poking fun at blondes. But it does so in a gentle way that doesn't feel mean-spirited. Just very good, clean jokes that are hilarious. Yes, they really do still exist. At least here they do.

I'm usually pretty cynical when I read jokes. I have become so jaded, I assume that I'm not going to like them. Much i'm happy to report, I laughed at most of these. In some cases, I was laughing out loud to the extent that people around me had to ask what was so funny.

I realized something reading these jokes as well. Most blonde jokes are about women. Here, there are a few that have blonde men and I ended up reading them twice because I had assumed it was a female.

If you are searching for jokes that are sexually oriented or full of adult humor, this is not the book for you. But if you want good clean jokes that are just plain funny, I can definitely recommend it. It's nice to find something you can share with everyone.

Costume Design

By Owen Jones


People all over the world like watching films and films frequently reflect local traditional stories and folklore. The fascination with ghosts, ghouls and witches is a worldwide phenomenon, but there are more local ones as well.

One of the most well-known in Europe is the so-called vampire, Vlad the Impaler, who really did exist but probably not in the form of the vampire that we all know of today from books and films.

Then there are the witches and warlocks who have been both respected and feared throughout history. Think of Merlin the Magician from the court of King Arthur and the witches of Salem in the United States, who were victimized and murdered along with thousands of others in Europe at that same time.

There are also tree nymphs or dryads, believed in by the ancient druids and many peoples in other continents as well such as Asia and Africa. Fairies and goblins are or at least were widely feared all over the world and there were the little people in Ireland, the Leprechauns. However, these characters did not only live on land. The ancient Greeks believed in Poseidon the god of the sea and many sailors believed in mermaids.

Some would argue that angels,cherubim, seraphim and the like fall into the same category. Some would even say that Satan and God do as well. All of the above characters, with the probable exception of God, have been represented by human beings at parties that we call fancy dress parties many, many times.

Many movies have been made which include some of the above characters. The most famous of these in recent years being the Harry Potter series and the Lord of the Rings. Just imagine the work that must have gone into making the costumes for those films.

What if you could design your own costume on that plane of excellence for your next fancy dress party? Well, the costume designers working on those films are professionals, obviously, and they have big budgets and ample of resources to work with. You will be much more restricted, but you can still realize very good results.

The first thing to do is select the character that you want to dress up as. Let's say a vampire. Then you ought to do a bit of research to find out what the character looked like. This is very simple on the Internet or you may have films and books on the topic. Then you make a list of the things you will need in order to dress yourself the same and perhaps the make-up you will require too.

So, for a vampire, you will need long black trousers or a long black dress; a black jacket, shirt or blouse; black shoes and a black cape (or blanket). Some white make-up or talcum powder will give you a ghouls skin tone and some red or dark-red lipstick will emphasize your deathly pale complexion. A set of long white or yellowish fangs finishes the identity. Then all you require to do is practice a couple of hypnotic stares in the mirror and a couple of weird stares and you are finished.

If you find it hard to get hold of any piece of the fancy dress, you could either rent a costume locally or purchase one from the Internet.

Seventy Two - Some Totally Retro 70s Halloween Costumes, Man!

By Liam Joshuwa


Recent years have brought about a new found love of 70s Halloween costumes. For some, the retro hippie look is a reminder of good times and freedom. Others see it as an era of outrageous fashion and hair. Still more find humor in the style. The 1970s bold colors and unique shapes pave the way for many options when it comes to 70s Halloween costumes. No matter what style you prefer, you can find the perfect fit for your 70s personality!

Hippies were a big, if not controversial, part of the 1970s. Bell-bottom pants and tie-dyed shirts were all the rage. Release your inner flower child with a totally groovy, hippie look. It can be fun to be one with nature, even if it is for only one night out of the year. Do not get too caught up in the lifestyle, though. If you plan to party with friends, I highly recommend you still bathe!

British music was popular during the 1970s as well. The genre became just as famous in the United States as it was across the pond. Consider Brit themed attire, complete with Sergeant Peppers-style jacket, either purchased or handmade. If you play guitar, why not practice a few Beatles riffs and bring your instrument along to really live the part.

Maybe hippy outfits and Beatles impersonations are not your thing; you could try being chic? just in a retro way. You could be dressed up to look like one of Scooby Doos new friends. Think about it, with the go-go boots, the mini-skirt, and a polyester scarf tied around the neck, you could create 70s Halloween costumes to remember.

Keep in mind when choosing your particular 70s styled costume there are many places to look for inspiration. From Foxy Brown to Superfly there are all sorts of title characters that one could use to model their 70s Halloween costume after. Depending on your creativity level, you can draw ideas from, or totally mimic, the style of your favorite celebrity from the seventies.

The other thing to keep in mind is that you dont have to use those obvious references, like the hippy, when coming up with your 70s Halloween costumes idea. Retro doesnt mean that you cant use a more obscure aspect of the decade when designing your costume. You could be a character from Star Wars for example. Watching popular old movies can help give you some idea of which direction to take.

Remember that if you really want to go all the way with your 70s Halloween costumes you shouldn't just dress the part, you have to act it out as well. Do a search of the common words and phrases associated with the decade if you want to add another dimension to your costume; this way you can go retro in your words as well as your dress. If you'd decided to go with a British themed outfit - why not try out your version of the British accent.

I say go all out with your 70s Halloween costumes. This is a decade that is rich with color as well as history. So do what you can to add depth and drama to your retro look. Whether you are impersonating a specific celebrity of the time or come up with our own collage based on a myriad of images, make it interesting and fun. With a little extra thought, plus some research, you can come up with a 70s Halloween costumes for not only you but your friends also. Edited by Hetsil Protage

'Piranha 3D' Film Delivered Intense Attacks & More

By Mike Stack


Dimension came out with a thriller,horror motion picture titled "Piranha 3D" into theaters a few months ago. I got around to checking it out,and I think it was pretty damn good from a viewer's perspective. It featured a good amount of suspense and chilling ravage scenes. It was simply speaking a complete blood bath. It features: Jessica Szohr, Steven R. McQueen, Elisabeth Shue, Jerry O'Connell, Ving Rhames, Richard Dreyfuss, and Christopher Lloyd.

The flick centered around a dude named Jake Forester (Steven R. McQueen) and a a couple of other guys and women as they simply just made an effort to remain alive inside the life-threatening piranha plagued waters. The same old empty Lake Victoria became very populated given that it was Spring Break time. Regrettably, soon before that, a small earthquake triggered an underwater cave to open up,freeing hundreds of dangerous piranha fish,and surely enough the killings began.

Meanwhile, Jake was busy disobeying his mom Julie Forester,and partying on a pornstar boat,enjoying beautiful,naked women and his girlfriend Kelly (Jessica Szohr) rather then watching his little brother and sister.

Once they found out about the piranha from Mr. Goodman, the debuties tried to warn the college students to emerge from the damn water,but they refused to listen. Before long the movie became a complete blood bath with body parts flying everywhere,and they weren't shy with the graphic scenes either.

Eventually ,it concluded with a very suspenseful finale as Jake's mom had to come rescue him and his porn crew,but not everyone managed to get out ok. Furthermore , it didn't end with a favorable note,leaving it open for one more possible sequel. I believed it the flick was extremely entertaining and suspenseful.

It never had a boring scene,and kept me on the edge of my seat. It had heaps of graphic feminine eye candy (nudity). Gossip Girl's Jessica Szohr looked wonderful,and Elizabeth Shue who played in the original Karate Kid movie has aged quite nicely.

Resident Evil 4 Flick Brought Intense Action & More

By Chris Smith


Screen Gems put out a action/thriller flick named "Resident Evil 4: Afterlife" into theaters. I watched it,and I thought the movie was very good despite bad critic reviews. It was very entertaining and exciting exactly like the first three. It features: Milla Jovovich, Ali Larter, Kim Coates, Shawn Roberts, Sergio Peris-Mencheta, Spencer Locke, Boris Kodjoe, Wentworth Miller,and Sienna Guillory.

"Resident Evil 4: Afterlife" revolved around a female named Alice (Jovovich) who ends up returning to Los Angeles,CA after finding out that not one person is in the town of Arcadia where there are supposed to be survivors. However, she does find her past buddy Claire (Larter) before heading out of Arcadia.

They eventually locate a few survivors in Los Angeles among a crowd of thousands of undead just waiting to tear into them. They reveal to Alice that Arcadia actually is a huge cargo boat that's floating on the ocean. From there on out,their mission was to escape L . A . and get to Arcadia. However, it wasn't easy and a few folks got killed on the way.

When they finally made it to Arcadia, they realize things aren't quite like they thought it might be,and they also ran into fresh dangers that led to a very exciting,suspenseful finish,which gave possible hints that this franchise may perhaps see yet another sequel.

The film supplied tons of action-filled,suspenseful moments that included: Alice destroying lots of Umbrella Corp security officers,Claire and Alice battling a giant huge monster slinging a prolonged sharp blade, and the usual gun slinging scenes where they had to shoot up many undead zombies or be murdered.

I really liked watching the film. The film was never bland,and delivered lots of excitement. The film critics thought it was one Resident Evil to many,but I don't care as long as it was entertaining. I really think Mila Jovovich and Ali Larter did great. They are both a pair of sexy, action ladies. I totally wouldn't mind seeing them a lot more. I gave the film a solid B rating.

'The American' Movie Review

By Mike Stack


Focus Features put out their action/drama movie named "The American" into theaters. I recently checked it out,and I think it delivered more drama than action to the table. Although,it did display some action scenes, they didn't make up the brunt of this film. It stars: George Clooney, Violante Placido, Thekla Reuten,and Paolo Bonacelli.

The flick centered around character Jack/Edward (Clooney) who is a hired murderer that retreats to Italy after a job in Sweden ends badly. His boss tells him to go there and wait around for further instructions. Shortly after Jack arrives in Italy, he sort of befriends a priest. Then eventually assumes another assignment to put together a complex gun for a beautiful,mysterious person named Mathilde (Reuten).

The flick goes on to mostly show how he builds the complex weapon,which was pretty interesting to view. Jack also creates a romantic relationship with a beautiful call girl named Clara (Violante Placido). It's just business at the start,but then she eventually wants to start a relationship with him,and the two grow very close. Meanwhile, Jack has to always watch his back since the Swedes have located him,and are trying to kill him.

The movie contained some very nice action scenes including Jack chasing after an assassin on a motor scooter,and getting involved in a shootout from the outset of the film. However, the action scenes were pretty rare. It capped off with an excellent,suspenseful twist.

Even though there wasn't the maximum amount of action as I originally thought there would be, it was still a very interesting film to see because the storyline was considerably unique and George Clooney did a really good job. It also had some terrific nude scenes,and that always helps.

When the action did come about,it had me on the edge of my seat with the suspense it brought. I gave "The American" a B score because I was looking to see far more than it showed,but it was still good.

Review Of The Bachelor 15,Episode 6

By Mike Stack


"The Bachelor" episode 6 teed off with upcoming scenes from the show. Then they showed Brad arriving in Costa Rica. Next, they showed footage ,featuring the females arriving in Costa Rica to meet Brad with huge hugs and kisses. After that that, Chantal found out that she got a 1 on 1 date with Brad. Then, Brad took Chantal on a helicopter ride to go zipline riding in some type of Forest area there. They appeared to have a bunch of fun together.

Meanwhile,back at the house, Alli found out that she was selected for a 1 on 1 date with Brad. Following that,they went right back to the Brad and Chantal date footage. It ended up raining on them so they took their date inside and talked. Then wound up kissing,and Brad gave her an early rose. Next, Brad took the girls on their group date. He took them to go scale down a water fall.

Later on that night,he took the gals swimming,and talked 1 on 1 with a couple of them. Then Michelle started causing a lot of drama with Brad over his date with Chantal. He finally told her that she really should trust him to make the best decisions for himself on his own. He also decided not give any of the gals an early rose because he wasn't all that happy with the women on the group date.

After the break, Brad took Alli on their 1 on1 date. They went horseback riding through a field. After that,they went walking through a very dimly lit cave. They appeared like they both had fun as the date progressed in the cave. At their late night dinner,they didn't really manage to connect past a friendship type level so Brad told her that he wouldn't be able to offer her a rose,and eliminated her at that moment by sending her home. She started crying a little,but understood.

Sneaky Michelle went to go see Brad after his date with Alli. He was happy to see her,but got upset when Michelle started complaining again about a number of his decisions,but it didn't get outlandish or anything. Brad just explained he was a tad bothered by it.

'Wall Street 2' Movie Featured Tons Of Really Good Drama

By Shun Smith


Fox released a new drama movie "Wall Street 2: Money Never Sleeps" into theaters a couple of months ago. I just got through checking it out the other day,and I agree with the top critics' positive review of the film.

The flick delivered an interesting,cool,story,filled with lots of drama,money scandals,and more. The flick stars: Michael Douglas, Shia LaBeouf, Josh Brolin, Frank Langella, Carey Mulligan, Susan Sarandon, Vanessa Ferlito, and Charlie Sheen.

The movie revolved around character Jake Moore who worked for character Louis Zabel at his firm. Unfortunately,when character Bretton James who works for another bank,spreads a bad rumor about Zabel's company,everything collapses,which causes Jake to loose his job,along with a ton of other people that worked in the company.

Meanwhile, Gordon Gekko (Douglas) gets out of prison after serving 8 full years,and eventually starts a bit of a friendly relationship with Jake. Jake in an effort to get back at Bretton, starts a rumor of his own about Bretton's company that captures Bretton's attention. The attention lands Jake a job with Bretton's company. Unfortunately, the business relationship doesn't last long at all after Jake learns just how evil and conniving Bretton really is.

Jake ceases working there,and attempts to invest in a new,innovative energy business. However he gets double-crossed by Gordon,and also loses his girlfriend Winnie Gekko in the process of all this. It ends with a shocking ending that involved scandals being brought to the surface and an unlikely charitable deed being performed by Gordon.

I really liked watching Wall Street 2. The storyline kept me intrigued the whole time. It delivered one money scandal after another in the very quick-paced world of Wall Street,along with intense drama scenes with the very sensitive Winnie Gekko character who always seemed to get upset pretty easily at just about everything. She did have some happy moments,though.

In my opinion, Michael Douglas did a great job reprising the Gordon Gekko role. I gave this move a very good B grade.

Going For Comedy Or Magic Shows To Ease Your Boredom

By Jeff Johnson


People have their own preference and desires when it comes to making choices, but there is equally enough in stock to take care of everybody`s desire and preference. In the entertainment industry, television, radio and theatre, there is so much that most people find it difficult to settle on a choice.

In the stress of the day with lots of upsets, comedy is one sure product that can put back some beauty on your face. It is so great how they do it and the host always find something to keep the people going. Like the popular woman working in the chocolate factory, almost everyone enjoys her funny acts.

This redhead lady tries to keep up with the rate of speed at which the chocolate is moving since the chocolates must surely be wrapped, and she does it so fast and in a way which speaks a lot about his reputation as a good worker. This makes it so funny and enjoying even though she does a little talking. And a lot of viewers like every bit of it.

Even though the visuals in entertainment make radio less preferred as compared to television, it is still a toast for a lot of people especially when it is time for popular comedies. Because there is no picture, listeners must create the scene in their minds to get along with the radio presenter.

You stand to get the best of the radio comedy shows when it features a couple of actors, they bring their skill and talent to bear and their reactions are always pleasurable. And when some good tunes and effects are included, then you can have all there is in comedies.

Stand up comedies cannot be overlooked in any case, because it a platform that produce the best in comedy if not one of the best.

This one need a good and a real talent because it is very involving, and can get very nasty at times. Performers have to be able to work very good lines to get the focus of the viewers and must do well to sustain it throughout the show.

Visual entertainment in the form of magic performing is also a great pleasure avenue, theses shows often make you reason a lot to fathom their activities, if it's real or a trick. You also turn to question how they did things if they were really trickery, and if real what power they posses to do it.

'Case 39' Movie Review

By Shun Smith


Paramount recently released a new mystery/thriller movie entitled "Case 39″ into theaters a couple of months ago. I checked it out last night,and was quite impressed with it. I thought It delivered some really great twists,along with good, suspenseful scenes. The film stars: Rene Zellweger, Jodelle Ferland, Ian McShane, Bradley Cooper, Kerry O'Malley, Callum Keith Rennie, Adrian Lester, Georgia Craig, and Cynthia Stevenson.

The Case 39 flick revolved around characters Emily and Lilith. Emily is a social worker who takes Lilith's case because she wants to check up on how she's doing with her parents. When Emily visits Lilith's house,her parents appear to be very strange and that sets off red flags with Emily. In light of that,she keeps a closer eye on Lilith,and eventually rescues her from being killed by her parents.

Later on in the movie, Emily finds out that the parents had real great reasons for trying to kill Lilith in a baking oven because it's revealed that she's actually a demon monster that causes people's worst fears to become real,and brings death to all the people she decides to attack with her power.

"Case 39" featured intense,"edge of your seat" scenes that included Lilith getting stuffed in an extremely hot oven,a dude getting swamped and attacked by hornets that came out of his ears and nose,Lilith showing her bad demonic creature side,and more. It was very surprising to see the sweet little girl turn into a giant monster. The film closed out with a big thrilling scene as Emily tried to kill Lilith just like the people who she rescued her from.

Most of the top movie critics didn't really give this flick good reviews from what I read. However, I thought the flick was great and intriguing. It had me pondering who or what this this little girl is,and what she was trying to accomplish. It delivered the proper mix of horror,chilling suspense,mystery,and surprises.

I think little Jodelle Ferland did a great job playing the demon child .She also acted in the popular "Twilight Saga: Eclipse" flick. She's the cutest little girl when she's not turning into a monster of course. I gave this movie an A rating.

'The Social Network' Movie Featured Tons Cool Drama

By Kevin Smith


"The Social Network" drama movie recently got released into theaters a couple months ago by Columbia Pictures,and I totally agree with the pro film critic's perfect positive assessment of this movie. It delivered cool,drama-filled,informative scenes about the actual story of Facebook's origin. The flick stars: Jesse Eisenberg, Justin Timberlake, Andrew Garfield, Joe Mazzello,and Rashida Jones.

The flick centered around the amazing true life story of Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg,along with numerous people he worked with in the beginning days at Harvard University. It follows how Mark built a popular website before Facebook that generated 22,000 hits in 2 hours. It was a fun site that let people rate which lady was the best looking out of two choices.

However,his problem with this,is that he hacked all the pictures from the College's database,and got put on academic probation for doing it. It was a pretty interesting story. Eventually, Mark had a meeting some college students that were impressed with his work,and they wanted his help on a project they had about a social networking website that would be restricted only to Harvard students. Mark thought the idea was good and agreed to help them out. They wanted to call it "The Harvard Connection."

However,Mark ends up deciding to launch his own version of the social network idea,calling it "The Facebook." Mark partnered with his best friend and co-founder Eduardo Saverin (Garfield). Eduardo provided the money for the Facebook project,and Mark did all the very technical coding that makes Facebook actually work.

They eventually met up with Sean Parker (Timberlake) who helped expand Facebook into a business,and also got Mark to drop the "The" and just make it "Facebook," claiming it would be cleaner. After that, conflicts eventually arose as Eduardo got shoved into the background and eventually out of the company.

The twin Harvard students who approached Mark with the "Harvard Connection" idea, filed a lawsuit against him,saying that he stole their idea. Eduardo also filed a lawsuit against Mark. The film featured that aspect in extensive detail,and it featured some very interesting drama. I really thought movie was great. It was very intriguing to learn how much drama went down during the early stages of Facebook.

Justin Timberlake did a great job as Sean Parker in my opinion. I thought Jesse Eisenberg played Mark Zuckerberg's role good as well. I also liked the performance from the new Spider-Man franchise actor Andrew Garcia as character Eduardo Saverin. It was the first time I saw Andrew act in a movie. The film got a perfect A grade from me.

Novello Theatre London Betty Blue Eyes Musical Comedy

By Neil Cheesman


Betty Blue Eyes a brand new musical comedy opens at The Novello Theatre from 19th March, 2011. The Novello Theatre can be found at The Aldwych London WC2B 4LD.

Belts are now being tightened together with the country's long-suffering citizens have been told by the government that there will be fair shares for all in return for surviving Austerity Britain. Meanwhile local officials feather their own nests by taking much more than their own personal fair share. It is of course 1947, and having won the war Britain seems to have lost the peace, and the country is staggering underneath the burden of acute rationing, unemployment and the coldest winter for years. The sole bright spark coming is the impending marriage of Princess Elizabeth and Prince Philip.

Twenty six years back Alan Bennett and Malcolm Mowbray wove this story into a hilariously funny but sharply observed comic film referred to as A Private Function, which centred around Betty, an adorable pig, who is being illegally reared to ensure the local dignitaries can celebrate the Royal Wedding with a lavish banquet while the local population put up with Spam.

Ron Cowen and Daniel Lipman have brilliantly adapted and expanded this story for the stage and George Stiles and Anthony Drewe have written a deliciously infectious, toe-tapping, retro contemporary score. The result is an utterly British musical, full of eccentric characters, such as the strange odd couple, Gilbert - an evangelistic chiropodist, and Joyce - a nobody determined to be somebody; Inspector Wormold - an obsessive destroyer of illegal meat; Mother Dear -'She's seventy four and ravenous'; along with a weird assortment of bullies, spivs and snobs and of course, our star, Betty the pig.

By using a simply marvellous cast of great British actors headed by Sarah Lancashire and Reece Shearsmith, Betty Blue Eyes is like no musical you'll have ever seen - but she is worth saving up for!

The Novello Theatre is a theatre in The Aldwych in the West End of London. The theatre was constructed as one of a couple of with the Aldwych Theatre on both sides of the Waldorf Hotel, both being designed by W.G.R. Sprague. The theatre opened as the Waldorf Theatre on May 22, 1905, and was renamed the Strand Theatre in 1909. It was again renamed as the Whitney Theatre in 1911 before once again becoming the Strand Theatre in 1913. In 2005, the theatre was renamed by its owners (Delfont- Mackintosh) the Novello Theatre in honour of Ivor Novello.

The black comedy Arsenic and Old Lace had a run of 1337 performances here in the 1940s, and Sailor Beware ran for 1231 performances from 1955. Stephen Sondheim''s musical A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Forum opened here on the day of Kennedy''s assassination, running for almost two years. In 1971 the comedy No Sex Please - We''re British opened here, remaining for over 10 years of its 16-year run until it transferred to the Garrick Theatre in 1982.

The theatre was extensively renovated in 1930 and once again in the early 1970s. For its 100th anniversary in 2005, the theatre is experiencing yet another extensive refurbishment. The current capacity is around 1,050. It reopened on 8th December 2005 with the Royal Shakespeare Company''s annual London season, playing to 4 week runs of Twelfth Night, The Comedy Of Errors, A Midsummer Night''s Dream and As You Like It, concluding in March 2006. Beginning in 2009 with A Midsummer Night's Dream and then The Taming of The Shrew. Recently concluding is Onnassis, starring Robert Lindsay.

Suggested Strategies In Handling Malicious Jokes

By Jeraldine Winters


Most of us have been in a situation where we ended up being the focus of someone's joke. When this happens, are you uncomfortable or hurt? Do you run away and never show your face again? Of course not! There are better ways of handling an embarrassing situation and here are some of them:

Ignore it. People who make fun of others usually are insecure and seek to gain attention by making someone feel bad. To counteract these sorry freaks, don't do anything. Ignore him or her. Do not give the person the satisfaction of even noticing what they said. Keep talking as if they do not exist. Sooner or later, they will give up humiliated for having the tables turned on their sorry asses.

Joke back. If you're one of those rare individuals born with sharp wit, why not use it to your benefit? Give the bully a dose of their own medicine.

Just make sure your comeback is witty and delivered in style. This has two purposes. The first is to defend yourself. The second is to intimidate your attacker. If everyone laughs when you make your comeback, the bully will think twice about delivering another blow as he or she might come up short and become the butt of the joke.

Accept it. So what if they make you the butt of their joke? Who the hell cares? You are the king! You are royalty while they are the court jesters. Yes, you're too confident to even regard anything they say as important. By accepting it with disdain, you automatically invalidate whatever they say.

Look behind the joke. Often times, when people are hurt, they will lash out at you given the opportunity. Maybe you and your bully have issues that need resolving. Did you happen to bully this bully once upon a time? To clear up the air, why not have a one-on-one talk with this person when the time is right.

One way or another, defending yourself from jokes is a social skill you will have to master eventually. It's better to know how to handle a situation before it comes than be caught off guard when you the spotlight is finally turned on you, right?

Having Fun - Going To The Party In High Spirits

By Walter B. Hernandez


The baby is blue in the face from screaming, the dog will not stop hounding you (no pun intended), and you need space to think and all this before your home party. That's right, you've coached the party hostess and there's a whole bunch of people coming. So help me god, is there any tranquilizer to help you get through this situation! 


Hold your horses! You do not want to walk into your own home party looking stressed and out of sorts, do you know? So, what must you do in a situation like this? Follow these tried and tested pre-party suggestions to get you there in the best of shape.

1. Your hostess must have given you directions so do not forget to recheck them and confirm the location of your destination online. And as an added precaution, also print out the reverse directions so that you get home easily. 


2. A great way to cut down on a lot of the last minute rushing around and stress is to pack and double-check your kit the night before or the morning of your show. This way you will be a lot more relaxed.

3. "What would be the perfect knock to the death outfit for tonight?" Do not make that a regular question. Throw together a couple of standard party-appropriate outfits that you can wear to any party and keep rotating them for different events.

4. If you are a mother then cook two days' worth of meals on nights when you are not out working. Ask your spouse and/or oldest child to help out with the departure rush before you leave. If babysitters are needed for the kids then take the time to find at least two reliable sitters, because you never know when you might need to call for backup.

5. Pump it up! Throw in a CD of whichever tunes get you up and rocking so that you can forget the day's stresses on the way and arrive at the party refreshed and ready to mingle. A lot of people love to lose all their worries in their favorite type of music.

These pre-party preparations are to prep you up so get there with a great attitude and a big smile. This will double the guests' enjoyment and will undoubtedly make the home party an event to remember.

'Jackass 3D' Film Delivered Extreme,Nasty, Reality Stunt Scenes

By Ryan Smith


Paramount recently released a new reality,follow-up film called "Jackass 3D" into theaters a while back. I got around to watching it,and I was quite surprised at some of the stunts they pulled. I mean some of them were really just outright horrifying.

The guys really tried to go for more of the utterly disgusting scenes in this one. The flick stars: Johnny Knoxville, Bam Margera, Ryan Dunn, Steve-O, Jason "Wee Man" Acua, Chris Pontius, Preston Lacy, Dave England, and Ehren McGhehey.

In the movie, all the crazy guys from the first two Jackass films returned to the big screen to shock us with more weird, violent,disturbing,and just outright gross stunts. As usual, Johnny Knoxville appeared in most of the scenes. They also featured some acting skits in between the stunts. One skit consisted of Jason "Wee Man" Acura getting involved a bar fight with another midget. Then they had midget cops and paramedics come in to weird everyone out.

Johnny Knoxville acted out a couple of skits as an old man who pretended he was making out with his very young granddaughter. Then he took a scooter and drove through a glass window. A couple of the stunts consisted of guys being thrown through the air,and getting shot with paintball guns for human duck hunting,guys getting bulldozed by bulls and other dangerous creatures. Also a lot of people got smacked really hard in the head.

The real awful scenes featured some of the nastiest,raunchiest scenes a person could even fathom to imagine. One of the scenes showed Steve-O drinking a guy's butt sweat,Steve-O getting a ton of feces splattered on him from a porta potty,and a guy urinating on everyone he saw just to name a few. It was really nasty stuff,but I have to admit it was funny to watch. I couldn't watch when Steve-O started drinking the guy's butt sweat. I couldn't stomach the scene.

The movie was entertaining as hell,despite displaying some of the most awful scenes I've ever seen in reality film history. Jackass 3D provides plenty of nudity,but it's all guys. I gave the reality flick a B- because of the pain that these guys had to endure to film it.

2. Be certain that your belongings are ready the previous night or early during the day of the party and in your vehicle, if possible. This incises a lot on the tension and exhaustion beforehand.

3. Are you thinking what to wear tonight? To lessen your thinking worry, gather 2 to 3 normal clothes to garb on routine gatherings and swindle them.

5. Listen to your most desired boosting music while driving your way to the event to release yourself of all worries so that you reach there all bright and energetic.

Bear in mind that pre-party proposals are not only about demonstrating the best function, but it is also about you. if you reach all energetic at the event, then your friends will also benefit from it and if they have fun, then your event will prove great.

A Few Of The Most Hilarious Acting Performances From The Incredibly Funny Performer, Paul Rudd

By Derek Cooper


These days, there are a handful of actors who seem like they appear in every movie. One of those people is definitely Paul Rudd. This funny and likable actor has been around for at least 15 years, but it was only recently that his popularity exploded to new heights. Ask any 20 something year old girl who their favorite funny actors are you are likely to hear Paul Rudd as one of their answer.

Let's take a look at his greatest films from his career.

The first movie that I will mention is Role Models. This movie stars Paul Rudd and Sean William Scott as a duo of troublemaking adults, who end up having to enroll in the big brothers little brothers program in order to avoid jail time. Hilarity ensues.

Another movie that stars Paul Rudd that is definitely one of my favorites is Clueless. This is a classic 1990s film and a role that Paul Rudd himself probably is not proud of. He actually plays a serious role in this film, for a change.

Wet Hot American Summer is another film that Rudd stars in that is absolutely hysterical. This film never got the exposure it deserved, maybe in part due to the fact that it was very limited in release. In fact, I'm not sure if it was ever in theaters at all.

Another fantastic film that Paul Rudd stars in is the recently released I Love You, Man. Rudd stars as an engaged man who realizes that he has no male friends to invite to his wedding and then finds Jason Segal. It is hilariously awkward and enjoyable.

Anchorman is another film that certainly makes my list. This one might be my favorite Paul Rudd movie of any. Even more than five years after its release, you still hear people quote the iconic Will Ferrell character all the time.

So these are most of Paul Rudd's funniest and enjoyable films to date. There is no doubt that there will be others to add to this list in the next few years.

We Change With Our T-Shirts

By Roger Mosley


There was a time, in the ancient annals of our forefathers, when things were much different then they are now. There were not modern conveniences like microwaves and cell phones. There were no such things as home computers or the Internet. Yes, this ancient time was a time of our grandparents. When men were men, and women wore high-heels in the kitchen while they cooked for their unappreciative men. Things have changed so much, that you can look at something so simple as t-shirts and see the way they have morphed into something completely different over the course of just a few years.

There is no doubt that t-shirts have changed to the point of weirdness since their first inception many years ago. The first t-shirts were extremely simple by today's standards. They were white, boring, and stained easily...just like our grandparents. These t-shirts were worn under an outer shirt, and wearing them outside of your clothes was considered low class and revealing. Did you hear me correctly? T-shirts were too revealing. That's like saying that ankle socks show too much leg.

If we think that our grandparents were strange for their fear of showing too much t-shirt, then the 60's existed only to let us know how equally crazy our parents were. No matter what your parents say, they were probably hippies. Hippies saw how their parents hid their t-shirts and decided they would wear nothing BUT t-shirts. I suppose it was a form of rebellion, but it did have an affect on the way America looked at the lowly t-shirt. Plain white tees were replaced in kind by a rainbow of colors and a serious lack of washing.

Not much changed during the decade of disco, since hippies pretty much tarnished the common man's image of what t-shirts were. The 80's brought a big boom in the t-shirt industry, however, when corporations and punks waged a silent war over them. Corporations like Pepsi and Hershey made t-shirts plastered with their logo, while people who followed the punk rock scene used t-shirts as a canvas for their rage against politics and the status quo. Neither side won, but the punks made bold statement with nothing but plain-white tees and a few sharpies.

The change in t-shirts today has taken them so far from their roots that only the general shape of the t-shirt is the same as it was in the beginning. There are now many different styles, ranging from v-neck to baseball tees. The designs have gotten much more complex as well, from offensive humor-based t-shirts to t-shirts that look like they could be framed and put on the wall as art. T-shirts are funny in the way that man has taken them and turned them into something that can be written and drawn upon. They have gone from being underwear to out-spoken wear.

Hairstyle Trends - There Have Been Some Shockers!

By Sofia C. Edwards


Everyone one has had a bad hair day at some time in their life but there are many hairstyle faux pas that have stuck around for a little too long. A certain football star, nicknamed 'goldenballs,' has given most of them a go during his glittering reign in the game.

When it comes to football stars, the mullet has to reign supreme as the ultimate hairstyle of the 1980s. Despite its predominance in this decade, the mullet has been around for centuries and is credited with a revival in the late eighteenth century, as evidenced in Gainsborough's Blue Boy. In the 1970s David Bowie's Ziggy Stardust character brought it back into the public domain which prompted the start of mullet-mania. This trend reached its zenith in the 80s when all manner of rock, film, sport and fashion celebrities sporting this rather horrific barnet. Although there has been a slight revival of the mullet in the present day, nothing comes close to the style in its heyday.

Around a similar period of time, the poodle perm began its ascendancy with famous wearers Kevin Keegan, Coronation Street's Deidre Barlow and Brian May, a guitarist in the band Queen, sporting the look. Even Anita Dobson of Eastenders started to morph into Roly, her pet poodle, at the height of the craze. Hairdressers all over the country were raking it in when people with poker straight hair were demanding it be curled within an inch of its life.

It may be pooh-poohed by various members of society but the Mohawk cannot be classed in the same cringe worthy category as the mullet or poodle perm. Initially a hairstyle invented by the Native American Mohawk tribe it made its first fashion and socio-political statement in the early 1980s when it became a signifier of rebellion for youths everywhere. The Faux Hawk, which is a recent style choice, is entirely a different matter. David Beckham proved that no shaved bits at the sides could transform this once subversive hairstyle into the corporate norm. In 2011 the style is virtually synonymous with everyone from the corporate suits to hairdressers themselves!

A list of the world's worst hairstyles has to feature the comb-over. Favoured by balding gentleman everywhere, it has the ability to stop people in their tracks. Strangers have been known to holler to unsuspecting comb-over candidates, "Face reality. You have no hair. Get a proper haircut!"

'Hereafter' Movie Delivered Good Drama With Matt Damon

By Ryan Smith


Mat Damon's new "Hereafter" drama/supernatural flick recently got released into theaters a couple of months ago. I finally got around to checking it out,and thought it was ok for what it was. It brought a ton of emotions,drama,and a pretty good story line. The flick stars: Matt Damon, Cecile de France, Frankie McLaren, George McLaren, Jay Mohr, and Bryce Dallas Howard.

The movie revolved around George Lonegan (Matt Damon). He's is a retired psychic who used to have a website and lucrative psychic business. However,he gave it all up because he thought his psychic gifts were a curse,and kept him from having a normal life with people.

Now, he works in a factory and seems pretty happy with it. Meanwhile, in other parts of the world, a young boy named Marcus loses his twin brother in a tragic car accident. A French reporter experiences death for a few minutes after almost drowning in a huge tsunami.

George ends up scaring off a possible girlfriend Melanie (Howard) with his psychic abilities because she begs him to read her,and reveals her very painful moments. Eventually, events occur that cause George to meet the French reporter lady at one of her book signings,along with the little boy Marcus who seeks him out so he can speak with his dead brother again.

Hereafter delivered some pretty intense,emotional moments,especially with little Marcus. It concluded with a great,feel good,ending for George. I thought the film was pretty good. I'm more of an action movie watcher. However, I liked the supernatural effects in this film,along with the intense dramatic scenes. It moved along at slow,steady pace,and showed lots of detail.

Comedian Jay Mohr was really good in the film as character Billy. He played the older brother of George who constantly kept pushing George to go back to doing psychic readings as they were very lucrative. In my opinion, the flick was pretty entertaining,but the slow pace of the film had me falling asleep at times. I gave it a grade B-.

'Due Date' Movie Delivered Lots Of Comedy & More

By Kevin Smith


Warner Bros recently released a new comedy movie titled "Due Date" into theaters a couple of months ago. I just got done watching it,and it was way more funnier than I thought it would be.

Robert Downey Jr. and Zach Galifianakis were a total riot in this movie,delivering laugh after laugh. It just wouldn't stop. It stars: Robert Downey Jr., Zach Galifianakis, Michelle Monaghan, Jamie Foxx, Juliet Lewis, Danny McBride, and RZA.

The movie revolved around Peter Highman (Robert Downey Jr.). He's trying to get home to his pregnant wife that is due to deliver the baby any day. He catches a flight to Los Angeles,and is ready to go. However, things quickly go wrong when he gets apprehended for using his mobile phone on the plane and gets put on the "no fly " list. Also,the airport keeps all his luggage that contains his wallet,money,and ID's.

Now, he has to catch a ride with actor "wanna be" named Ethan Tremblay (Zach Galifianakis), and his nightmare begins. On their cross country road trip, Ethan comes up with a number of pit stops and detours that made them very late, spent all the necessary money on weed, ruined a western union funds transfer, and masturbated with Peter sleeping beside him. He also fell asleep at the wheel,causing them to get into a major accident,and accidentally drove to the Mexican border while trying to go to Los Angeles.

All the crazy screw ups just keep going on and on. Ethan and Peter eventually make it to Los Angeles,but not without Ethan accidentally shooting Peter with a loaded gun first. Even with all these problems, they still managed to conclude it with a happy ending. In my opinion, the movie was hysterically funny. It's one of those types of movies that just keeps delivering non-stop laughs and one-liners throughout the entire time.

Comedian Jamie Foxx made a hilarious appearance in the movie as well. He played Peter's best friend named Darryl,and gave Ethan a bumpy ride in the back of his pick up truck. It was very funny. All in all, this movie pleasantly surprised me with how many laughs it had. I gave this film a definite A+ rating.

Recommended Tactics In Reacting To Mean Jokes

By Eric Katz


When someone makes fun of you or jokes about you, you may not always know how to react. The following suggestions however might work for you if you ever get in such situation.

People make fun of other because they want to make them embarrassed or hurt them. This can be avoided if you totally ignore the joke and take it as a normal conversation. Reacting to a joke or defending yourself makes the joke more intensified. Keep the conversation go on.

You can joke in style and responds to a person who makes fun of you. This puts the person joking about you in your place and he/she feels embarrassed instead of you.

But you must be smart enough to deliver a joke in such a fashion that the person making fun of you regrets his/her decision of messing with you. A joke made in such a manner will make him/her know how he/she has made fool of him/her self.

Take the joke positively. Reacting in a defensive way to a joke made about you shows your lack of confidence. You better take the joke as a normal comment or rather amplify it.

Taking an example let's say someone taunts you that you don't go outside your house a lot. Your best response to this taunting can be; yes, in reality this is the first time this year". The person will immediately learn that you do not get hurt by his/her joke as you are comfortable with your skin and don't need to get appreciation from others.

Jokes, many times, have meaning other than the apparent one. Sometimes it is felt quite clearly that the person making the joke has some issue with you or has got hurt. In such a scenario you better try to find the actual meaning of the joke instead of focusing on the apparent meaning.

Handling jokes in a smart way is a skill many people want to have but very few actually demonstrate. This skill shows your ability to respond to people in a good way and you also don't get hurt.

Finding A Good Joke Book

By Rolf Blair


If you're looking to hone your wit, to develop some jokes of your personal, or if you just want to have a nice library of riffs to keep in your head for the following party, it's not necessarily a bad idea to actually go out and grab a joke book or two. By studying the classics, you can study how to develop your own material by seeing how it operates, what gets the biggest laughs and so on. Some you might like to consider studying.

The Classic Stand Ups

The classic stand up comedians have put out some good books on jokes and joke telling. Even the non-fiction works like Lennie Bruce's How to Tell Dirty Jokes and Influence People serve as an interesting insight into the nature of humor. Joke books including material from Rodney Dangerfield, Don Rickles or Steven Wright are typically golden, as well.

Niche Joke Books

The goal here is to locate those diamonds in the rough. Most joke books are three hundred recycled yuks that were barely funny the first time you heard them, but there are some good niche joke books out there. 100% Blond Jokes is like an encyclopedia of jokes that you can rephrase and make use of to have a laugh at the expense of the foolish men and women a highly effective life!

Comedy on DVD

As you know, it's all in the delivery. The basic concept is to remember: You're not funny, the material is. Rely on the joke to be funny and don't ham it up. If you go through the delivery of Mitch Hedberg, he simply relies on the jokes. On the other hand, the rare performer is able to take even lesser material and make it funny with the right delivery, but by and large, you'll find the delivery in the material.

How To Maintain Focus On Your Job Amidst Bullies

By Joshua D. Wilson


Though you may have met people who are very difficult to get along with and they may be bullies or just your fellow co-workers hence you know about them it may not be impossible to get along as you think.

Unless you just swallow your pride and maintain your cool it may be impossible to interact with them normally. But simply not facing the issue or leaving the issue is not the only way out.

In dealing with those people some have been told to just brace themselves while others have been encouraged to smile at them. However by smiling at them you give a positive angle and hence this is more preferred.

By just smiling you may clear the tension and get the ball rolling though it may seem unreasonable. But when you smile let it be genuine, thinking about whatever part you like about them might help. And just may be they might beam back.

Though it may demand a lot from yourself you have to remember that they are not evil any way. Once you dig past their surface you may be amazed by what you find.

Do not be like everyone else who say that; it is easy to disk like peter if he is arrogant and kind of abrasive. Do what other do not even imagine try to like him.

You know that he feels insecure and that why he is arrogance and being in this new place where and people make him nervous might be what he is only trying to deal with.

In knowing a person and understanding where they are coming from it become very hard to hate them and such a person seizes to be the bad picture you had painted about them and turns into a person with real concerns. For we hate what we do not understand and do not lead us anywhere/butt in only take a little patience and heart to really see through those we do not understand to find out whom they really are.

'The Mechanic' Film Delivered Awesome Action With Jason Statham

By Mike Stack


CBS recently released their new,action flick "The Mechanic" into theaters. I just checked it out,and thought it was very good. It moved at a reasonably fast pace as all Jason Statham movies usually do,and it delivered a ton of good killing action,and more. The film stars: Jason Statham, Ben Foster, Donald Sutherland,and Christa Campbell.

The film revolved around character Arthur. Arthur is known as a mechanic. He's a highly trained assassin. He gets hired to murder people who are shady,or have been involved in crooked business dealings. He's given records and photos of the people he's sent to kill. He kills them in very creative ways. They are ways that can't be linked back to him or the people who have hired him.

Everything appears to be going fine for Bishop in his career as he's one of the best in his business,but things take a turn for the worst when his mentor Harry McKenna (Donald Sutherland) shows up on the kill list. Arthur asks for a meeting with the main boss to get more info,and is told if he doesn't do it,someone else will because Harry has been accused of tipping people off about their assassination jobs.

Arthur eventually completes the assignment of killing Harry. After that,Harry's son Steve McKenna arrives on the scene,and ends up asking Arthur to teach him how to be a mechanic killer. He teaches him a few things,and they eventually do a couple of assignments together,but the best assignment is yet to come.

Arthur eventually finds out that the killing job he did on Harry was part of a conspiracy by his boss. From that point, Arthur has revenge on his mind,and Steve comes along for the ride to get vengeance for Harry's death. I won't give the whole ending away,but lets just say that Steve ends up finding out that Arthur was the one who actually killed his father.

This fact causes a big twist to occur towards the end,which involves lots of guns being fired,wild car chases that cause tons of damage,and huge explosions. Also, you should like the ending scene because Arthur pulls off a pretty clever stunt. For a film that's filled with such ugly violence,it's plays out quite beautifully.

Jason Statham did an excellent job playing the cool,calm,and collective action man who really kicks butt. The film never had a boring moment in it. It moved along at pretty good pace. I gave it an A rating.

'Saw 7' Movie Delivered Crazy Gore Scenes & More

By Shun Smith


Lionsgate released a new horror/thriller movie titled, "Saw 3D" into theaters a couple months ago. I just got done checking it out,and it showed some intense gory,thriller scenes. I'm really not into the gore genre,so I found it quite disturbing. It also delivered one hell of an ending. It stars: Tobin Bell, Cary Elwes, Costas Mandylor, Betsy Russell, and Sean Patrick Flanery.

The Saw 3D film delivered two different storylines. One of the storylines centered around character Bobby (Flanery). He was a spokesperson promoting a book that claimed he survived one of Jigsaw's games,but he really never underwent one of Jigsaw's games. This lie causes him and his co-workers to become part of one of Jigsaw's horrible,life-taking games.

In the other storyline,character Jill (Betsy Russell) tries to escape Hoffman,and reveal that he was behind all the games since Jigsaw's death. She ended up getting one of Hoffman's old running mates Cale (Dean Armstrong) who was the chief of police involved in the case. Unfortunately,this led them all to their demise.

Saw 3D featured extreme gory scenes from the very start. A couple of them included a woman getting spinning blades through her abdomen,a woman getting blades through both her eyes and throat at the same time,another lady getting four blades through her neckline,and a guy getting all his skinned removed from his back just before he gets killed.

Saw 7 was really one of the more graphic installments of the franchise. Also,it really favored killing off women. It concluded with an unfortunate ending for one of the main characters,which was a little disappointing,but right after that,it ended with a very interesting conclusion that almost suggests they could continue this franchise even though they claimed this one would be the last movie.

I'm not a fan of gore flicks, but I thought Saw 7 was quite entertaining. It constantly kept me on the edge of my seat the whole time,and closed out with a very intriguing conclusion. I gave the film a B rating.

'Faster' Movie Delivered Much Heat With Dwayne The Rock Johnson

By Mike Stack


New "Faster" action movie got released into theaters about a month and a half ago by CBS Films. I finally got a chance to check it out,and thought it was fantastic.

Dwayne "The Rock" delivered a real intense performance,and acted out some great scenes. I liked the entire storyline. It had a really awesome twist. The film stars: Dwayne Johnson, Billy Bob Thornton, Carla Gugino, Maggie Grace, Oliver Jackson-Cohen,and Moon Bloodgood.

"Faster" revolved around Driver (Johnson). Driver's backstory is revealed throughout the movie as he was on a mission to kill a group of people for payback after he got released from prison. Him and his brother got setup after robbing a bank. The people who set them up, ended up killing his brother,while he went to prison for 10 long years.

Driver gets released from prison,and wastes no time hunting down the first person that harmed him,and shoots him right in the head. The unknown man who was behind his setup, hires a hitman to take Driver out. Driver runs into the hitman a couple of times during the movie,and they get into one hell of a gunfight,along with a couple of good car chases.

The authorities kept hunting down his trail so they could catch him. Driver ended up getting through his list of people to kill,but let one of them live because the guy turned his life around so dramatically that Driver decided to show him some mercy. The movie capped off with the hired hitman catching up to Driver where a huge twist in the whole case was finally revealed.

They did a very good job disguising the twist until the end. It was quite ingenious. I just really thought the movie was excellent. I liked how it played out from beginning to end. There was never a boring moment throughout the film.

Johnson's character Driver made the film very interesting as soon as it started rolling because he always had this crazy,intense look on his face that said he was about to do something very outrageous and violent,and he did. I gave the movie a grade A.
