Movie Review, Die Hard 4 2007-07-27 10:52:00 By Luke HainesFrom what I've read and heard, there have been two main fears surrounding the fourth installment of arguably the greatest action franchise of all time. First and foremost, the incessant bleating on about Willis age. At 52, many feel Willis is too old to carry on as John McClane, the world weary cop who killed his first terrorist on screen twenty years ago.So, first things first, Bruce Willis is still running the show. He looks a little worn and his acceptance of his own hair loss is partially to blame, but he still looks fit and strong. Say what you want about modern, fresh-faced male leads with gym-toned bodies, Willis' rough and ready everyman is still a far more likeable alternative the fresh-fruit-and-sun-tan brigade.With the first and arguably biggest hurdle cleared, however, the film comes dangerously close to falling at the second.Those not worried by Willis' age were all concerned about the rating of the film. Whereas previous installments of the franchise have Read more:Movie Review

Movie Review - What the Bleep - Good Reminders But They Forgot Some Key Information 2007-07-15 04:09:00 By Scott Petullo and Stephen PetulloOverall, we enjoyed the movie “What the Bleep....” Some parts of it we responded with, “Well said!” Other parts, “You forgot some ideas!” And still others, “What the #%*$!”Some of the movie’s key points that we appreciated the most are as follows: blame and victimization are of no use; self- understanding and taking full responsibility for personal circumstances and behavior is integral to self-actualization; everyone has the power to influence his/her physical, emotional, and mental health through thoughts and feelings; it’s been clinically proven that stress, for example, contributes to illness (not that clinical proof is necessary to acknowledge the effects of stress or positive thinking/feeling); self- actualization relies on the ability to detach from and leave behind addictions, expectations, dramas, and desires of all kinds (all part of the ego-self) so that one can more closely align oneself with the spiritual self.We espe Read more:Movie Review

Those who enter my office for the first time, both business contacts and friends, say, "WOW! How did you get those pictures!" You should see their eyes and how they light up like a light bulb.

But, Oh the ticket price for this show!Marxism is many things but at the heart it is the means of destroying or rendering impotent western culture, democracy and the Judeo-Christian faith. Its dismal failure in the former Soviet Union doesn’t mean it’s dead and gone. With bright and one could say almost “gay” clothing teetering somewhere between the casual attire of the liberal academic and the Hollywood make up artist’s best clown, Marxism is making a full comeback debut.In academia it made recent appearances at a High School in Boulder Colorado in May of 2007 Read more:Spiderman
Old Movie Posters 2007-07-05 10:22:00 By Seth Miller Hand painted crates and sandwich boards were the first forms of movie advertising. However, the turn of the century saw the introduction of posters with vibrant colors and pictures and limited words. These old movie posters were used to promote a variety of products and services, including the early cinema.One of the best ways of maintaining the value of an old movie poster is to restore it. If you plan to remove tape residue, rubber cement thinner is very effective. Using a q-tip, rub a small amount on the spot to be removed. Be careful not remove the poster ink. If the old movie poster is very valuable or if there is lots of tape residue, it is better to have it restored by a professional. Old movie posters were printed on high-acid, low-grade paper. So the process of deacidification helps arrest the deterioration.There are three methods of de-acidification -- linen backing/mounting, lamination and encapsulation. The process of linen mounting is when a restorer fuses t Read more:Posters

Exfoliate For Amazing Movie Star Skin 2007-06-30 06:09:00 By: Kerri StaltonExfoliation is a simple idea and has long been a trick of the professional stylist’s trade, but only recently has exfoliation hit the mainstream. When you exfoliate your skin you buff away the dead skin cells that linger on the top of your face, thereby revealing a glowing layer of fresh, young skin. The layers of new skin that your face produces are smooth and soft, and are the perfect surface for flawless makeup application. If you are troubled by flaky areas on your face, or if you find your makeup clumping rather than settling evenly onto the natural contours of your nose, cheeks, and chin, exfoliation may be the answer to your beauty woes. The most affordable and convenient way to exfoliate is at home with an over-the-counter facial scrub. A scrub containing small, abrasive granules of sugar, crushed walnut shell, or oatmeal can help you whisk away dead skin cells on your face and body. For best results, thoroughly cleanse your face with warm water; then apply t Read more:Amazing
Want Your Children To Love Books - Go See A Movie! 2007-06-30 06:01:00 By: Brent SittonReading a book from which a movie is made is almost always a richer experience than simply watching the movie. The experience of savoring the words on the page and allowing yourself to be taken on a journey inspired by the author is sublime. As the author paints a picture with words, your imagination fills in the blanks until the voices of the characters and the images of the settings resonate in your mind.After reading and thoroughly enjoying a well-written book, watching the movie adaptation can be an interesting experience. The voices and images from your imagination are contrasted by those created by the actors, the director, and the cinematographer. It's not that the experience of watching a movie adaptation is necessarily bad - it's simply different. It presents a wonderful opportunity to demonstrate to your children the difference between words on a page and images on a screen - and to have a great family experience in the process.Almost without fail, your chil Read more:Books

Batman: The Super Human Super Hero 2007-06-29 02:50:00 By Gail LeinoBatman
is a super hero that doesn’t have any real super powers. He is, a normal man, who uses his love of science, strength, and problem solving to make him a very special kind of crime-fighting super hero. Bruce Wayne was a young boy when his parents were killed during a mugging. As Bruce grew up, he maintained a vow to bring his parents’ killer to justice and so he trained hard to get his body in perfect physical condition by studying martial arts and gymnastics. Batman studied and excelled in areas of science, criminology and psychology. Batman is a top-notch escape artist but usually finds himself successful against the evil villains not by beating them up physically, but by out witting him. Batman’s super cool bat mobile, bat cave, bat cycle and bat plane and his never ending utility belt tools make him capable of handling anything villains like The Joker, The Riddler, The Penguin, The Green Hornet, or any new criminals may throw at him in his mission to keep Go Read more:Super
"Breach" - A Review 2007-08-13 04:32:00 By Leslie Halpern Lesson to employers: Be careful to whom you assign the offices with windows – and without. Based on the true story of FBI agent Robert Hanssen, who sold government secrets to the Russians for 22 years in the worst case of treason in modern American history, “Breach
” delivers on its promise of suspense and thrills. We follow the final two nail-biting months before Hanssen’s arrest as a young FBI trainee spies on him.Chris Cooper convincingly portrays Hanssen as a cold-hearted, homophobic traitor with a penchant for pornography. Devoted (at least outwardly) to his wife, family, and religion, he clandestinely sells secrets to the Russians in order to get even with his bosses and co-workers who fail to appreciate his hard work and impressive abilities. While gun-toting spies with the FBI get all the glory, the intelligence side of the agency toils away in near obscurity. Selling U.S. secrets – and thus compromising the lives of KGB double-agents – provides Han
"Away From Her" - A Review 2007-08-13 04:31:00 By Leslie Halpern Among the many wonderful independent spotlight films in this year’s Florida Film Festival, “Away From Her” stands out as an exceptionally tender tale of loving, aging, and suffering with dignity. Directed by Canadian actress Sarah Polley and based on the short story “The Bear Came Over the Mountain” by Alice Munro, the movie introduces The Andersons, an aging couple married for more than 40 years. Fiona (Julie Christie) shows symptoms of progressing Alzheimer’s disease and her husband Grant (Gordon Pinsent) is faced with the difficult decision of whether or not to place her in a permanent care facility.Grant doesn’t worry about small things like when she puts a frying pan in the freezer or can’t remember simple words such as “wine.” When she wanders off in the snow and gets lost, however, he realizes that Fiona would be safer at Meadow Lake, an assisted living home for others like her. She encourages him to make this decision, saying that all they
Mafioso Mentality 2007-08-13 04:30:00 By Sharon WhiteAt the beginning of the film Michael Corleone returns from war to a doubtful future and attends a family wedding. It becomes evident from the very beginning that Michael does not want to follow the steps of his family and embark on a Mafioso lifestyle. We are given the feeling that Don Vito Corleone respects his son’s will not to pursue such a lifestyle even though each of his other sons are predominantly involved in the family "business" and for this reason alone it can be construed that he is Don Vito’s beloved son and the one in which he takes the most interest. Despite Michaels apparent wishes not to become occupied with the family "business" it is obvious that he cannot ignore his feelings of loyalty and devotion to them or his natural ability to take a role of responsibility and mantle within the family.Don Vito Corleone is an aging godfather/patriarch who is the head of the Corleone crime family in the New York boroughs. The opening of the film is located at a Read more:Mentality
Stanley - King 2007-08-13 04:29:00 By Sharon WhiteThe Shining, brought to screen by the genius of Stanley
Kubrick, is this adaptation of the Stephen King book by the same name. The movie has been called the most thrilling of all time and one of the most carefully thought out film ever. Many critics will agree that there is something special about this movie, something about the way it manages to enact an emotional response from the viewer. Kubrick uses many devices in the creation of these emotional responses and certainly one of the most important elements used to create suspense and the sense of surreality is his particular use of plot in The Shining. This essay will examine the movie’s plot, looking at how it contributes to the creation of suspense in the shining.The story is essentially about an uninspired writer, Jack Torrence who takes a job at the Overlook, an old hotel, as the winter caretaker. He then progresses into madness and attempts to kill his wife and son. Like the crazy, unbelievable sequence of event
