United States of America's Independence Day 2008
As America celebrates the 232nd anniversary of her Independence Day, I contemplate what life would be like without all the conflicts in the world.
Website Review: MyTvTalk
"MyTvTalk" is a very new website, less than a month old if I base my guess on when the forums were installed.
Piracy Through Downloads is STILL a Hot Topic!
It may not be discussed as openly as it was perhaps a year ago, but piracy in regards to downloading is still a hot topic. How do I know it when I'm not seeing new articles about it splashed across the different news sites? It's quite simple. The search history of my analytics service shows it to me every single day.
Blog Review: Pop Critics
This is a blog that's co-authored by the team of Mike Olbinski of A Mike Life and Jason Clark of Jason A Clark, both of which I've visited from time to time. I'm not here to talk about either of those blogs, so I'll skip any more pleasantries.
The Demon Barber Confessional
Johnny Depp is back as another Englishman (he was Captain Jack Sparrow in the Pirates of the Caribbean trilogy), but this time he's even crazier. He's the legendary Sweeney Todd, an alias for his real name of Benjamin Barker, and he's the "Demon Barber of Fleet Street". Take a few minutes to visit the official Sweeney Todd movie site and you'll see what I'm talking about. The movie opens just in time for Christmas.
In this story, Benjamin Barker is living the simple life of a barber with his wife and daughter when a lusting judge destroys their lives. Benjamin gets deported to Australia and returns many years later to England with revenge on his mind. His intent is to reclaim his family and punish the society which took part in the destruction of it. He doesn't want to forget OR forgive. It's a bloody journey from beginning to end.
They say that confession's good for the soul. If you'd like to confess your desires for vengeance, then visit Sweeney Todd on Buzznet. You can call in your confession or upload a video confession; either way it's sure to be a lot of fun. If you don't want to do that, just confess to me in the comments. I'm not a demon barber, but I'll read it. I've never personally exacted revenge on anyone that I can remember. That doesn't mean I'm not guilty of it and if I remember anything, I'll be sure to add it the comments.
If you visit Sweeney Todd on MySpace, you can enter for the chance to meet Johnny Depp at the global premiere of the movie. What are you waiting for?
Eye Of The Dolphin (2007)
Eye of the Dolphin is a family movie starring Carly Schroeder, who starred in this summer's soccer hit "Gracie", and opens August 24th in selected theaters.
This is the story of 15 year old girl (Schroeder) forced to live with her father after being expelled from high school in Los Angeles, California. A personality conflict between her and her father, a dolphin research scientist, causes her to form an unexpected friendship with an orphaned dolphin.
Filmed in the Bahamas, you can be assured the scenery in this film is going to be breathtaking. Written by three time Emmy winner Wendell Morris from a story by the film's director Michael Sellers, this promises to be a movie the whole family can enjoy.
Here's the trailer I just watched:
