Who is more Sexy Cameron Diaz or Halle Berry Poll.

There are two movie stars that I think are sexy and I also like most of there film's they are Cameron Diaz and Halle Berry,


Cameron is 35 years old and I think some of her best films were There's Something About Mary and My Best Friend's Wedding and she also starred in quite a few other good ones.

And Halle Berry is 41 years old I think some of her best films were Boomerang and Gothika and again she did many other great films.

But what I'm wondering is who is it that you out there think is more sexy?

So I am running this Poll for a bit of fun just to see what you all think,
so please just tick a box below and lets find out what you think.

In the belly of the beast

Dr. Brady Barr - National Geographic Reptile Expert
I happened to watch National Geographic Channel launches a documentary about Dr Brady Barr who decided to dress up himself as a Crocodile to get right up next to the other crocodiles living in the wild! wow that's an alternative~hands on approach,

The “croc suit” consisted of a protective metal cage covered by a Kevlar shield, and topped off with a life like latex cape, It wouldn't fool most humans but he had to hope it would fool the crocodiles as he is going to crawl up to a group of wild Giant crocs.
He need to get near enough o attach a scientific device to their backs!
This apparently happen in the country of Tanzania,

The crazy thing he was able to breath inside the hot tight suit, the thermometer read 120 degrees inside his body (hell yah, bloody hot)gosh,
I find it really crazy for him to be short distance away from the numerous hazardous crocs as well as with the most dangerous animals in Africa, the Hippo.,

Luckily for him the other Giant crocodiles that were all around him decided to adopt him as part of there group and even crawled right up on top of him,
I find him brave really to do that but how was it worth to do such bold experiment.,
Just to get so close and to be able to put a scientific tracking devise on a crocodile while not disturbing it is truly death defying act. Indeed, it was a successful experiment lop around in the mud and "pretend" to be a crocodile how about you? would you dare and consider to try it?


I found this trailer for the program, I love it when he says "Today I AM a crocodile"

Classic Horror for Halloween



Some of these films have been around for a while but if you have not seen them yet they are definitely worth watching especially with it being so close to Halloween.



The Exorcist
There is nothing dated about The Exorcist,
which remains very scary more than 25 years after it was first unveiled to the public.
Scare-o-meter score






28 Days Later
Super fast zombies and a gripping action packed story with a nice twist.


Scare-o-meter score






Gothika
Halle Berry is Fantastic in this Horror,
Suspense, Thriller one of my favorite
films.
Scare-o-meter score








The Blair Witch Project
Low on budget, high on terror!


Scare-o-meter score






Halloween H20
Well it is Halloween.

Scare-o-meter score




If you have any films that you watched lately that really scared you please leave a comment and let me know.

The Notebook


The Notebook

This was the most beautiful and romantic movie I’ve seen in a long time! Real tear jerker, too. I thought the scenery was breathtaking. And the acting was good, too. This is an adult movie, not for children. There is some language, and sexual scenes; they don’t show anything, but not for young viewers! Aside from all that, it’s such a heartwarming story of love and commitment. If you love a good romance, you’ll love this.
The movie focuses on an old man reading a story to an old woman in a nursing home. The story he reads follows two young lovers named Allie Hamilton and Noah Calhoun, who meet one evening at a carnival. But they are separated by Allie's parents who dissaprove of Noah's unwealthy family, and move Allie away. After waiting for Noah to write her for several years, Allie meets and gets engaged to a handsome young soldier named Lon. Allie, then, with her love for Noah still alive, stops by Noah's 200-year-old home that he restored for her, "to see if he's okay". It is evident that they still have feelings for each other, and Allie has to choose between her fiancé and her first love.
Reselience

...we've got the means to make amends. I am lost, I'm no guide, but I'm by your side. (Pearl Jam, Leash)


I've been watching oprah show couple days ago, and i find her talk show interesting, people who are resilient that able to cope up with stress, trauma, and tragedy in life, well in my case,
I've converted misfortune into good luck and found benefits in bad experiences.I'm non-judgmental about others and adapt to people's different personality styles.With the sencirity and simplicity her guests shared about their experiences it really touch my soul some people would dwell on it or learned...but in my case, i must admit that somewhere i fall in between., i had face my deepest fears of failure, went through hell but i always believe that things happen for a reason. i don't give up easily even things seems hopeless, i remain optimistic..

a reselient person is:


Express feelings honestly. Experience and can express anger, love, dislike, appreciation, grief--the entire range of human emotions honestly and openly. Can also choose to suppress their feelings when they believe it would be best to do so.

Taking care of oneself. Tend to your own needs and feelings, both physically and emotionally. This includes participating in activities and hobbies you enjoy, exercising regularly, getting plenty of sleep, and eating well.

Think better of yourself. Be proud of yourself. Trust yourself to solve problems and make sound decisions. Nurture your self-confidence and self-esteem so that you feel strong, capable and self-reliant. This will give you a sense of control over events and situations in your life.

Maintain perspective. Don't compare your situation to that of somebody you think may be worse off. You'll probably feel guilty for being down about your own problems. Rather, look at your situation in the larger context of your own life, and of the world. Keep a long-term perspective and know that your situation can improve if you actively work at it.

A CHRISTIAN MINISTER SAY, " IF WE WANT TO FORGIVE AND RECOVER FROM HURTS WE MUST NOT TALK LOOSELY ABOUT THE PROBLEM OR THE PERSON WHO CAUSED IT, i want my Faith to grow more because i know that He always had a good plan for tomorrow...

The Devil wears Prada.

"You say im a bitch, like it's a bad thing".

I Must admit I did love most of the wardrobe that they show in the film. hope that does not mean i'm going to hell! I never read the book (novel) ,The devil wears prada, Possibly you have seen the movie some would find it annoying, but on the other side it taught us who we are but not just what we wear it shows the shollow side of the fashion world dealing of pampered "snobs".

I love this one..so classy..give you a look of a shopisticated young lady True success is not achieved by those who are smart or inconsiderate, by hard-baked egotists or psychopathic bosses … We gain by being generous towards those around us … When people do not perceive any competition, they themselves stop competing and instead start to co-operate, which everyone benefits from.

Pursuit of Happyness (money)

Pursuit of Happyness Scene













I feel the Pursuit of Happiness is a must see film for everybody I think you would have to be a very hard nut to crack not to be moved emotionally at some parts of the film, and the acting is faultless

It is based on the true story of a man named Chris Gardner and the low part of his life in the late 70's


Will Smith plays 'Chris Gardner' a Salesman that is struggling to keep his head above water when his wife leaves him and he is left with his son and then his luck gets even worse.

After a chance meeting with a stock broker Chris decides to go after an internship with a major stock brokerage firm,
But there’s a catch there is no pay for six months during the internship and he'll be competing with 20 other ambitious men and only one permanent position,

Chris knows if he gets the job he can make a good life however for the next six months he will have to work study and try and somehow find money to pay rent while looking after his boy.

His life hits its lowest point when he can't make the rent and becomes homeless with his son.
and Chris has to somehow try and excel in his job during the day and find a roof for him and his son at night.
Will Smiths real son (Jaden Smith) play his son in the film and his performance is superb and he is looking like he could be a big star in the future.

The undertone of the film is quite capitalist some could call it the 'Pursuit of Money' but Chris Gardeners main motivation is to try to guarantee the financial security of his family and it goes to show that when life deals us a bad hand some we have a chance to change that hand though sheer determination and self belief.


And this film is so well acted it's one not to miss.

crazy simpson







We have just gone to watch the Simpson movie, It's amazing they have waited 18 years to hit the big screen, maybe the rating of the Simpson TV series have dropped possibly that’s why they have finally released the film but still pretty funny! for me,not it was the best intellegent animated movie , I love Arnold Schwarzenegger as president of America and his best quote "I was Elected to LEAD and not to READ" I Was just exploding laughing lol awesome and freaking hilarious, I also thought an R rating watch out for the nudity :-) The Simpson’s Rock, Yeah!

The Simpsons started in 1987 as a series of shorts and continued through 1989. As this was their birth, the characters are delightfully cruder than the more recent shows with pointier hair and features, etc.

The Simpsons is famous for current world issues. They are able to change jokes up to about week before the show airs even if actual episode is created 9 months ago. In terms of blackboard gags at the beginning of the show, those are usually done right before air time. They can write that day before it airs.( I Love the blackboard gag...I must not make pirate copies of the Movie...at the start of the film) It takes one day to record voices for the characters.

main characters:

homer simpson- his favorite foods are Donuts, Pork Rinds Lite, Krusty Burgers, and any pork product.

marge simpson-Specialties: Marshmallow squares, mounds of jello.

bart simpson- Age: 10.

maggie simpson- First Word: "Daddy".Downfall: Occasionally drinks from the dog's water bowl, low dexterity, falls over easily.

The Simpson's may be a dysfunctional family, but there our dysfunctional family.
