Synopsis: Based upon Mark Millar’s explosive graphic novel series and helmed by stunning visualist director Timur Bekmambetov—creator of the most successful Russian film franchise in history, the Night Watch... Based upon Mark Millar’s explosive graphic novel series and helmed by stunning visualist director Timur Bekmambetov—creator of the most successful Russian film franchise in history, the Night Watch series—Wanted tells the tale of one apathetic nobody’s transformation into an unparalleled enforcer of justice. In 2008, the world will be introduced to a hero for a new generation: Wesley Gibson. 25-year-old Wes (James McAvoy) was the most disaffected, cube-dwelling drone the planet had ever known. His boss chewed him out hourly, his girlfriend ignored him routinely and his life plodded on interminably. Everyone was certain this disengaged slacker would amount to nothing. There was little else for Wes to do but wile away the days and die in his slow, clock-punching rut. Until he met a woman named Fox (Angelina Jolie). After his estranged father is murdered, the deadly sexy Fox recruits Wes into the Fraternity, a secret society that trains Wes to avenge his dad’s death by unlocking his dormant powers. As she teaches him how to develop lightning-quick reflexes and phenomenal agility, Wes discovers this team lives by an ancient, unbreakable code: carry out the death orders given by fate itself. With wickedly brilliant tutors—including the Fraternity’s enigmatic leader, Sloan (Morgan Freeman)—Wes grows to enjoy all the strength he ever wanted. But, slowly, he begins to realize there is more to his dangerous associates than meets the eye. And as he wavers between newfound heroism and vengeance, Wes will come to learn what no one could ever teach him: he alone controls his destiny. --© Universal Pictures

but do you really know the difference between them? In
an effort to keep you informed, the definition of each
is listed below:
"GUTS" is arriving home late after a night out with
the guys, being assaulted by your wife with a broom,
and having the guts to say, "are you still cleaning or
are you flying somewhere?"
"BALLS" is coming home late after a night out with the
guys smelling of perfume and beer, lipstick on your
collar, slapping your wife on the ass and having the
balls to say, "You're next!"

My Date With Another Woman - A very touching story
After 21 years of marriage, my wife wanted me to take
another woman out to dinner and a movie. She said I
love you but I know this other woman loves you and
would love to spend some time with you.
The other woman that my wife wanted me to visit was my
MOTHER, who has been a widow for 19 years, but the
demands of my work and my three children had made it
possible to visit her only occasionally.
That night I called to invite her to go out for dinner
and a movie.
"What's wrong, are you well," she asked? My mother is
the type of woman who suspects that a late night call
or a surprise invitation is a sign of bad news.
"I thought that it would be pleasant to be with you," I
responded. "Just the two of us."
She thought about it for a moment, and then said, "I
would like that very much."
That Friday after work, as I drove over to pick her up
I was a bit nervous. When I arrived at her house, I
noticed that she, too, seemed to be nervous about our
date. She waited in the door with her coat on. She had
curled her hair and was wearing the dress that she had
worn to celebrate her last wedding anniversary.
She smiled from a face that was as radiant as an
angel's.
"I told my friends that I was going to go out with my
son, and they were impressed, "she said, as she got
into the car. "They can't wait to hear about our
meeting". We went to a restaurant that, although not
elegant, was very nice and cozy. My mother took my
arm as if she were the First Lady. After we sat down,
I had to read the menu. Half way through
the entries, I lifted my eyes and saw Mom sitting
there staring at me. A nostalgic smile was on her lips
"It was I who used to have to read the menu when you
were small," she said.
"Then it's time that you relax and let me return the
favor," I responded.
During the dinner, we had an agreeable conversation -
nothing extraordinary, but catching up on recent
events of each other's life. We talked so much that we
missed the movie.
As we arrived at her house later, she said, "I'll go
out with you again, but only if you let me invite
you." I agreed.
"How was your dinner date?" asked my wife when I got
home. "Very nice. Much more so than I could have
imagined," I answered.
A few days later, my mother died of a massive heart
attack. It happened so suddenly that I did to not get to do
anything for her.
Some time later, I received an envelope with a copy
of a restaurant receipt from the same place mother and
I had dined.
An attached note said: "I paid this bill in advance. I
wasn't sure that I could be there; but nevertheless, I
paid for two plates - one for you and the other for
your wife. You will never know what that night meant
for me. I love you, son."
At that moment, I understood the importance of saying
in time: "I LOVE YOU!" and to give our loved ones the
time that they deserve. Nothing in life is more
important than God and your family. Give them the
time they deserve, because these things cannot be put
off till "some other time."

Phytochemicals
Our diet more than ever before contains fatty processed foods and less natural plant based foods. The effects of this growing trend can be seen in the awful statistics on Alzheimer's Disease, cancer, Atherosclerosis, Diabetes, Parkinson's Disease, heart disease, stroke and many other degenerative diseases.
Consumption of high fat foods obviously brings with it many problems, but the high intake of protein and simple carbohydrates creates an inadequate consumption of plant-based foods which have many health giving benefits.
Plant based foods provide Phytochemicals.
Most people know that eating plant based foods provide the all essential fiber, vitamins and minerals to the diet but what is not known so well is the many benefits of the phytochemicals that these plants can provide.
Phytochemicals come in several forms and different vegetables have higher concentrations of a particular phytochemical than others. Some of the main phytochemicals include:
Flavonoids - citrus fruits, onions, cabbage, cucumber, parsley, tomatoes, broccoli, carrots, soybeans and berries.
Isoflavones - Found in soy, peas, beans and legumes.
Lignans - Found in walnuts, flaxseeds, pumpkin seeds and many other nuts and seeds.
Carotenoids - Found in leafy greens, broccoli, carrots, pumpkin, squash, sweet potato and yams.
Indioles - Found in brussels sprouts, cauliflower, turnips, bok choy, broccoli, cabbage and kale.
Omega 3 Fatty Acids - Found in walnuts and flaxseeds.
Plant Sterols - Found in squash, soybeans, peppers, tomatoes, cucumber and broccoli.
The list above is only a small segment of the entire phytochemical family which encompasses a very large and extensive range of nutrients.
What are the Benefits of Phytochemicals?
Phytochemicals act in many ways to help your body in combating disease and health problems such as:
1) Protecting the cells by blocking carcinogens that try to enter the cell walls.
2) Fighting the malignant changes within cells that have already been penetrated by carcinogens.
3) Boosting enzyme activity to increase the benefits of the various protective enzymes consumed within the diet.
4) Combining with numerous vitamins to boost antioxidants activity to scavenge free radicals before they can cause damage within the body.
Of course it is not necessary to know the names and benefits of the large range of phytochemicals that exist, what is important is to understand that maintaining a diet that contains a variety of fruits and vegetables will combine the benefits of the phytochemicals and vitamins to help you achieve optimal health.
In addition to proper diet, it is essential to take a good vitamin and mineral supplement that uses extracts of fruits and vegetables, that way you can make sure that you are getting the necessary Phytochemicals everyday.
By reducing your high fat/processed food intake, increasing your intake of fruits and vegetables and taking a good whole food extract vitamin and mineral supplement you will greatly reduce your chances of falling victim to the ever-growing list of degenerative diseases which plague the general population today as a result of following a typical western diet.
It is not only the damaging effects of high fat, high sugar foods in the western diet that allow cancer, heart disease etc to develop, but the absence of the protective phytochemicals that are only found in plant foods.
So eat plenty of fresh fruits and vegetables, stay away from high fat processed foods and take a whole food extract vitamin product. You will then be armed wiht a host of phytochemicals to fight the damaging effects of free radicals and carcinogens that will give you a level of health that most people will envy.

European Mistletoe The Cancer Fighting Herb
European mistletoe (Viscum album L.) also known as simply "mistletoe" is a semi parasitic plant that grows on several types of trees in temperate regions worldwide. This article refers to European mistletoe not American mistletoe, the decorative holiday plant often seen in the United States.
The leafy shoots and berries of mistletoe are used to make extracts that can be taken by mouth and has been used for centuries in traditional medicine to treat seizures, headaches, and other conditions. In Europe, mistletoe is used mainly as a treatment for cancer and extracts are prescr i ption drugs that are given by injection. In the United States, mistletoe by injection is available only in clinical trials.
Laboratory studies have found that mistletoe kills cancer cells and stimulates the immune system and has been incorporated into the care of cancer patients in Europe for over 80 years. The use of mistletoe to treat cancer has been studied in Europe in more than 30 clinical trials and mistletoe therapy is thought to be the most commonly used complementary cancer treatment in Europe today. Improvements in survival and quality of life have been reported but some doubts have been raised about the findings due mainly to the studies having a small number of participants or not having a control group.
In the United States, because mistletoe has not yet been proven to be a safe and effective cancer treatment, it is advised that it should not be used outside of clinical trials. The National Center for Complementary and Alternative Medicine (NCCAM) which is part of the National Institutes of Health is sponsoring a clinical trial of mistletoe, given in combination with the drug gemcitabine, for cancer. The study will look at toxicity, safety, and immune system effects of mistletoe extract when combined with this chemotherapy drug.
Raw, unprocessed mistletoe is poisonous. Consuming raw, unprocessed European or American mistletoe can cause seizures, vomiting, a slowing of the heart rate, and even death. American mistletoe is unsafe for medicinal use.
In countries where commercial mistletoe is available by injection, such as Germany, those extracts are considered to be generally safe when used according to product directions and under the supervision of a health care provider. Injected mistletoe extract may cause itching or redness in the area of the injection. Less commonly, side effects may include more extensive skin reactions, low-grade fevers, or flu-like symptoms.
It is important to inform your health care providers about any herb or dietary supplement you are using, including mistletoe.

Scary Snacks
These treats may seem harmless, but they could contain carcinogens.
1. Microwave popcorn. The butter flavor in microwave popcorn comes from a chemical called diacetyl, which may cause serious lung and respiratory problems if an individual is around too much of it. Although most people who have gotten sick due to diacetyl exposure have worked in popcorn factories, one man developed a lung disease called bronchiolitis obliterans after eating two bags of microwave popcorn a day. After public outcries and even pressure from members of Congress, most companies that manufacture microwave popcorn have stopped using diacetyl in the butter flavoring.
2. French fries. When fried, potatoes release a chemical called acrylamide, which is known to cause cancer in lab animals and is considered to be a probable human carcinogen by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and the International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC). In addition to being found in French fries, acrylamide is often in other starchy foods like potato chips, cereal, and bread. Officials in California even considered putting warning labels on foods that may contain acrylamide. However, so far, the most conclusive links between cancer and acrylamide have only been found in rats, not in humans.

Pepsi and Coca Cola
The following article has been emailed to me:
The scientific and medical research says that drinking Pepsi & Cola leads to cancer because the key elements is taken from Pigs sausage. The heavenly books Qur’an, Bible and Torah forbids eating Pork, as it is the only animal that eats dirt, dung and urine, which makes lethal and deadly fabric polluted germs and microbes.
According to a report published in Jordanian magazine, the head of Delhi University Science and Technology, Dr Mangoshade scientifically proved that the key element in Pepsi and Cola contains extract from the intestines of pig which causes cancer and other deadly diseases.
The Indian university conducted tests on the impact of drinking Pepsi and Coca Cola which proved that drinking them lead to more rapid heart rate and low pressure. Also drinking 6 bottles of Pepsi or Cola at a time causes instant death. It also contains chemicals such as carbonic and phosphoric acids, citric acid which harms teeth and causes bone fragility. Bones kept in the cup of Pepsi melts during the week knowing that bones of the dead remain in the grave for thirty years. Research itself confirmed that the calcium dissolved in Pepsi and it weakens the bladder, kidneys, kill the pancreatic, leads to diabetes and infectious diseases.
Pepsi or Coca-Cola lovers nothing to worry as it is not the only drinks available on this earth, as we have other healthy alternatives such as natural fruit juices, canned coconut water, flavoured milks, buttermilk etc., all of them are conveniently available even in the small stores.
I'm Coca Cola & Pepsi drinker and like this taste...The "pork extract" thing made me laugh slightly. I can't beleive that.

Trust Your Heart and Find Your Dream Career
"Nothing is as real as a dream. The world can change around you, but your dream will not.
Responsibilities need not erase it. Duties need not obscure it. Because the dream is within you, no one can take it away."
(Read to the end or this article to see who authored this quote.)
Many people don't know that actor George Clooney is a very fine caricaturist. In the early days in Hollywood, he was struggling to make a living. His family suggested that he turn to drawing caricatures as a way of temporarily making some money until he could make it as an actor.
He refused, saying, "If I do that, I will become the most popular caricaturist in Hollywood. But I'll never be an actor."
He and many others listened to their hearts. They knew the meaningful work they wanted and they sought the dream of that work purpose until the dream became one with them.
That's the power of dreams. They are living things. They are seeking us as much as we are seeking them.
Dreams start as ideas in someone's mind. Then, because of the energy, imagination and focused action centered in an individual, the dream becomes reality.
That's how Michelangelo's 'David' came into being. That's how Mozart's Requiem came into being. That's how everything, from cell phones to rockets to indoor plumbing came into being.
What do you want to bring into being? What do you want to birth? Or put another way, what does your heart want to love into the world?
Dreams are born from what we love, from what we are passionate about, from what we care about. And care and love are the manifestation of the heart's intelligence. It's no different when we are birthing meaningful work that provides us with deep career satisfaction.
Recently, I spoke with a computer technician who repaired my computer. He told me he reads books about computers for FUN!
Isn't that true of all of us? If we are intensely interested in something (heart-engaged), we love spending time studying it, reading about it, talking about it, applying it and learning more about it. That's as true for computer technicians who love their work as it is for musicians as it is for gardeners and cooks, as it is for sports fans, who follow their teams avidly.
It is said that if you love what you do, you will never work another day in your life. That's when the line between work and play and fun become blurred. It all feels the same.
I remember when I first had that insight. I was in my first career as a teacher. I walked into my classroom one lovely fall morning and said to myself, "I can't believe I get paid to do this!"
If you are looking for career satisfaction doing meaningful work that helps you bring YOUR career dreams to life, then you must learn to listen to your heart.
I have a client who, until recently, was a respected insurance executive. The company was prepared to transfer her to a prestigious job on the West Coast that would put her on the fast track to even more promotions.
This event precipitated a mini-crisis. Why? Because this offer caused her to realize she didn't like being an insurance executive.
She was good at it, but she didn't like it. In other words, her heart wasn't engaged. She had other career dreams that were demanding to be realized.
Her interests and passion lie in more artistic pursuits and she is now enrolled in a school for fashion design. Moreover, she's NOT scared or worried about the future. She's EXCITED and joyful, involved in the creative process and so happy to - FINALLY - have found work satisfaction in a niche that is right for her.
Notice.
When you find work that is right for you - that helps express who you are - that uses your talents and skills - that challenges you to develop new talents - that's the dream. That's work purpose.
That's a meaningful career. And that is what feeds the heart. So, how about you?
What do you love to do? What gives you joy when you do it? What would you do even if you weren't paid?
What interests you? What do you want to express in the world?
You will remain forever dissatisfied if you don't express something of yourself in your work. The more of yourself you can express in your work, the more you will find joy and fulfillment in your life because that is what the dream is made of: I, expressing myself, through my work.
I hope you find increasing work satisfaction as you express who YOU are in the world.

This way your mental health will be preserved, because a person becomes crazy exactly when they cannot posses whom or what they most desire: this is the perfect opportunity for the wild side of their conscience to imprison them in the labyrinth of craziness.
Craziness is threatening you all the time, only because you inherited a wild, evil and violent conscience, the anti-conscience, that wants to destroy your human side and because you live in a crazy world governed by terrorism, violence, immorality and hypocrisy, where everyone is constantly dominated by their anti-conscience.

Dark Armpits?
It’s not surprising that so many people have this problem - there are at least FIVE different reasons your pits could be darker than they should be.
Cause #1: Shaving.
When you shave you cut the hairs off at, or just below, the surface of the skin. If your hairs are slightly darker than your skin color, they can give the appearance that your skin has a dark stain when it`s really just sub-surface hair.
What To Do About It: Stop shaving and try waxing or plucking instead so you get rid of the hair below the skin surface. Since the hairs aren’t lurking so close to the top of your skin, they won’t be as visible.
Cause #2: Buildup of dead skin cells.
According to at least one dermatolgist, dark spots under your arms are the result of dead skin cells that are trapped in microscopic “hills and valleys” on your skin.
What To Do About It: Exfoliate, preferably with a product containing lactic acid.
Cause #3: Antiperspirant and deodorant usage.
In theory, some ingredients in these products (perhaps the fragrance) could be reacting with the skin to cause discoloration. Practically speaking this seems unlikely but many people do claim that when they stop using APDs, the darkness goes away.
What To Do About It: Try switching brands or using a deodorant instead of an antiperspirant. You may stink a bit more, but hey, the Left Brain lives for experiments like that!
Cause #4: A medical condition called acanthosis nigricans.
This condition causes light-brown-to-black markings on the neck, under the arms, or in the groin. It can be related to insulin production or to a glandular disorder and it typically occurs in people who are overweight.
What To Do About It: Watch your diet to control insulin production and use Retin-A, 20% urea, alpha hydroxyacids, and salicylic acid prescriptions to lighten your armpits.
Cause #5: Hyper-pigmentation.
This condition causes your skin to produce excess melanin pigment. It doesn`t usually affect armpits, so it’s a less likely cause.
What To Do About It: Use a skin bleaching cream to destroy the excess melanin. The Beauty Brains don’t recommend this unless you consult a dermatologist first. You can also try laser treatment to destroy the pigment.

Skin Whitening Tips
Bleaching Skin Safely Step No. 1:
Only use potent and safe skin lightening products.
Potency is the concentration of active skin whitening ingredients in a product. Most commercial over-the-counter skin lightening remedies have small or insignificant potency that little or no results are seen.
Price is not a factor to determine the effectiveness of a product, and does not logically represent a more effective skin bleaching treatment if more expensive.
Buy from a source that you trust, has good reviews, and well recommended by satisfied users.
Safety is the most important issue, because your skin is the only one you’ve got. There are three harmful skin whitening ingredients and the alert is discussed in detail here in 'hydroquinone side effects'.
So what ingredients do you look for in safe skin whitening and bleaching?
Some safe and natural plant-based components worth mentioning are Kojic Acid (derived from mushroom), Licorice (plant extract), or Papain (from papaya fruit). These are so safe that they are even used for food products. Click for more details.
Bleaching Skin Safely Step No. 2:
Use with your favorite moisturizers.
This is one of the best tips in skin whitening, especially for those with dry skin.
Does rosy, supple fair even skin sound good to you?
This step is recommended because the skin whitening/bleaching process involves skin peeling (exfoliation), which is drying to the skin. The drying effect is necessary to peel off the dark unwanted skin layer.
Remember that skin lighteners are formulated for skin lightening, not moisturizing.
Using your favorite moisturizers will bring about a better, rosy, hydrated, lightened skin tone. The resurfaced (exfoliated) fresher skin absorbs moisture best.
Apply your moisturizers about 10-15 minutes after the skin lightening products.
Bleaching Skin Safely Step No. 3:
Wear a good sunscreen that blocks both UVA and UVB rays at daytime.
Did you know that not all sunscreens block the sun’s UVA and UVB rays? These two are different, as the UVA rays are responsible for aging, tanning and wrinkling of our skin, while the UVB rays causes sunburn.
When buying sunscreen, look for ingredients such as Parsol 1789 (at 3% not 2%, also known as Avobenzone), Titanium Dioxide, Zinc Oxide or Mexoryl-Sx.
If you choose the higher SPF, the better protection you get. There’s the new Neutrogena SPF 70 that I personally like because it blocks both rays.
Keep in mind that sunscreen is a MUST (I can't emphasize this more) whether you’re in a skin whitening treatment or not. It is your best cover against sun damage and skin cancer, especially between the hours of 10am-3pm.
Without sunscreen, the use of any skin bleaching treatment or product is futile.
Bleaching Skin Safely Step No. 4:
Take a daily dose of Vitamin C and Glutathione supplement.
This is an option. But studies show that a daily intake of Glutathione skin whitening pills and 1000 mg of Vitamin C supplement can enhance the skin’s suppleness and inhibits the skin’s production of melanin as a long term effect. Melanin is the brown pigment responsible for tanning the skin. The darker the skin color, the more melanin content there is.

Why Women Cry
A little boy asked his mother, "Why are you crying?" "Because I'm a woman," she told him.
"I don't understand," he said. His Mom just hugged him and said, "And you never will."
Later the little boy asked his father, "Why does mother seem to cry for no reason?"
" All women cry for no reason," was all his dad could say.
The little boy grew up and became a man, still wondering why women cry.
Finally he put in a call to God. When God got on the phone, he asked, "God, why do women cry so easily?"
God said: " When I made the woman she had to be special. I made her shoulders strong enough to carry the weight of the world, yet gentle enough to give comfort. I gave her an inner strength to endure childbirth and the rejection that many times comes from her children. I gave her a hardness that allows her to keep going when everyone else gives up, and take care of her family through sickness and fatigue without complaining. I gave her the sensitivity to love her children under any and all circumstances, even when her child has hurt her very badly.
I gave her strength to carry her husband through his faults and fashioned her from his rib to protect his heart. I gave her wisdom to know that a good husband never hurts his wife, but sometimes tests her strengths and her resolve to stand beside him unfalteringly. And finally, I gave her a tear to shed. This is hers exclusively to use whenever it is needed."
"You see my son," said God, "the beauty of a woman is not in the clothes she wears, the figure that she carries, or the way she combs her hair.
The beauty of a woman must be seen in her eyes, because that is the doorway to her heart - the place where love resides."
"I don't understand," he said. His Mom just hugged him and said, "And you never will."

Mojo Pork Roast Recipe
Ingredients
2 lbs boneless pork roast 1
2 tlbs Orange Juice2
2 tlbs Apple Cider Vinegar3
2 tlbs Spanish Extra Virgin Olive Oil4
2 tsp Adobo Seasoning5
2 Garlic Cloves diced finely
2 Shalots diced finely
2 Onions cut into rings
Score pork roast along the diagonal axis 1 inch apart and 1/4 in deep on both sides. Put aside. Combine Orange Juice, Vinegar, Olive Oil, and Adobo seasoning in a deep container that has a top. Stir until well mixed. Place the pork into the mojo sauce and massage sauce into meat. Combine garlic and shalots and stuff into scored pork on both sides. Palce onion rings into container and place pork on top. Allow to marinade for two hours.
Preheat oven to 350. Grease medium baking pan with olive oil. Place onion rings, mojo sauce, and 2 tbls water into bottom of the pan. Place pork roast fat side up on top of onion rings and seal with aluminum foil. Poke 4-6 holes in foil to vent. Cook for two hours. After cooking for 1 hour, remove from oven, flip roast to fat side down. Broil on high for about 2 minutes or until browned on top. Remove from oven and immediately wrap pork roast in aluminum foil and let rest for 10 minutes. This ensures the juices stay in the meat.
Cut the meat into 1 1/2 slices retaining any juices. Pour any juices back into baking pan with oinions and stir. Pour onions onto serving platter and place roast meat on top of the onions. Enjoy!
1 You can use any kind of roast, just make sure that it isn't too lean as you need some pan drippings.
2 Fresh squeezed blood orange make for a sweeter mojo. You can substitute Valencia oranges if you like. 100% squeezed juice from the store will work in a pinch.
3 Use apple cider vinegar because it adds an authentic flavor. White vinegar doesn't work well and malted vinegar is a definite no-no.
4 Spanish extra virgin olive oil has more flavor than Italian or Greek olive oil. But any type will work.
5 I prefer Goya Adobo seasoning. You can use which ever type you like. I don't use the type with Culantro which gives the meat an orange color. I don't use it because I use Adobo w/ culantro for making orange spanish rice. But it is your choice.

5 I prefer Goya Adobo seasoning. You can use which ever type you like. I don't use the type with Culantro which gives the meat an orange color. I don't use it because I use Adobo w/ culantro for making orange spanish rice. But it is your choice.
Squash Pie
The glowing colors and the smooth texture of cooked squash are evocative of winter feasts, home and the holidays. These sturdy gourds have been around since long before the Pilgrims shared their first Thanksgiving with Native Americans. Squash is believed to have been eaten as long ago as 5,500 BC. The winter squash family boasts a bewildering number of varieties, from acorn to Hubbard, the most recognizable of which is probably the pumpkin. But despite great differences in shape, size and the external color of their hard skins, most can be treated the same in the kitchen -- baked, pureed, or as a component of soups and stews. Perhaps best of all is the rich nutritional value they have in common. Beta carotene, potassium and fiber are just some of their most notable assets. With a nutty and often sweet taste and a smooth texture, squash is good and good for you any time of the year.

Terminator Salvation
Terminator Salvation is an upcoming American science fiction war film set for release on May 21, 2009. The fourth installment of the Terminator series follows an adult John Connor (played by Christian Bale) as he attempts to organize a human resistance force which could prove to be humankind's last true hope for survival in the war against their intelligent robot overlords. Opening in the year 2018, Terminator Salvation finds John Connor's certainty about the future shaken by the sudden appearance of a mysterious stranger named Marcus Wright (Sam Worthington), whose last memory is of sitting on death row and awaiting execution. Unable to determine whether Marcus was sent from the future or rescued from the past, Connor begins to wonder whether there is still any hope left for the human race as the robots grow more powerful and aggressive than ever before. It appears that Skynet is preparing a devastating final attack designed to eliminate the human resistance forces once and for all, leaving Connor and Marcus with no choice but to strike back at the cybernetic heart of Skynet's operations. Once there, the two battle-scarred soldiers discover a devastating secret regarding the potential annihilation of all humankind. Anton Yelchin fills Michael Biehn's shoes as a young Kyle Reese in what is planned to be a new Terminator trilogy from director McG (Charlie's Angels).Directed by McG, it is the fourth Terminator film and stars Christian Bale as John Connor and Sam Worthington as the Terminator Marcus Wright. It also introduces a young version of the first film's hero, Kyle Reese, played by Anton Yelchin. The film, set in 2018, focuses on the war between humanity and Skynet. It abandons the formula of previous entries in the series, which involved the Terminator and various other characters traveling through time to protect or kill John Connor. It is both a sequel and prequel to the previous films.
Watchmen
Watchmen is an upcoming 2009 American superhero film directed by Zack Snyder. Based on the 1986 comic book limited series Watchmen by Alan Moore and Dave Gibbons, the film adaptation stars Patrick Wilson, Jackie Earle Haley, Malin Akerman, Billy Crudup, Jeffrey Dean Morgan, Matthew Goode, Stephen McHattie, Matt Frewer, and Carla Gugino. In an alternate 1985 America, costumed superheroes are part of the fabric of everyday society, and the "Doomsday Clock" - which charts the USA's tension with the Soviet Union - is permanently set at five minutes to midnight. When one of his former colleagues is murdered, the washed-up but no less determined masked vigilante Rorschach sets out to uncover a plot to kill and discredit all past and present superheroes. As he reconnects with his former crime-fighting legion - a ragtag group of retired superheroes, only one of whom has true powers - Rorschach glimpses a wide-ranging and disturbing conspiracy with links to their shared past and catastrophic consequences for the future. The film began shooting in Vancouver in September 2007 for release on March 6, 2009.
Body of Lies
Trivia for Body of Lies (2008)
*Manchester scenes (filmed on actual streets in the USA), any overly "American" curbside items (like certain fire hydrants) were hidden by dropping bottom-less slatted metal trash cans over them and then adding prop "English" rubbish; however, extras and crew unaware of this subtle artful touch continuously filled the apparently-normal-looking receptacles with their own trash. Between filming sessions, rueful set dressers would have to remove a foot-high layer of discarded plastic water bottles (and then reset and fluff the "official" rubbish).
*While the derelict-but-surviving US neighborhood where the Manchester Scenes were filmed had plenty of its own street litter and urban debris, the Hollywood crew (in the effort to make the area look like an English slum) had left certain piles of prop rubbish in precise places. For scene continuity, such rubbish needed to remain present --even when scenes took multiple days to film. To protect against unwitting community litter cleanup, "essential" debris was flagged overnight and on weekends with "hot set" tape (a specialized version of other American yellow hazard tapes which say things like "caution caution caution", "wet paint", or "police line do not cross").
*During one Munich scene (actually filmed on a busy urban US street corner), civilian vehicle traffic was stopped only during actual filming. Just before and after filming, the prop streetsigns (written in German) were in place while the street was still open to thru traffic. Thus, some unknowing motorists went from seeing typical streetsigns (which said things like "Central Avenue" or "Washington Street") to reading differently-colored German signs for, say, "CharlottenStraße".
*For Manchester Scenes (filmed in a gritty and real American slum), actual English "police line" tape was used. Its distinctive blue and white coloration contrasts with US-style police tape which is yellow with black text. Comparison was easy because occasional stray bits of American police line tape from past actual crime scenes were among the real neighborhood's windblown street debris littering the edges of the filming area.
*A key scene's spectacular explosion is not a digital effect; it was a real, though controlled and safe, pyrotechnic blast - much to the delight (or, in some cases, surprise) of neighborhood onlookers.
*To get just the right look during a massive pyrotechnic explosion while also not damaging still-occupied neighborhood buildings, technicians used a "car chucker" (rather than the force of the blast) to fling a vehicle violently. The fridge-door-sized steel plate has a powerful spring-hinge device able to catapult cars for specified distances.
*Some performers in the exterior Turkish Cafe in Munich Scene were stage-reading actual Arabic newspapers. The more-attentive among them were indeed reading from right to left (most noticeable when they turn a page).
*Costume standards were such that performers portraying British police wore full regalia including a tie, utility belt, regimental insignia, and a bulletproof jacket even though none of these were visible under their blaze yellow police emergency-response raincoats. Also, these same police were usually positioned with their backs to the camera --which was often a quarter-mile away.
*During filming in the USA, a few of the POVs (privately-owned vehicles) which extras used to reach the locations were used during filming of scenes meant to portray parts of Europe, but first the cars needed to be "de-Americanized". This involved more than just switching license plates. Rear-view mirror dangling trinkets (graduation tassels, novelty-shaped air fresheners, etc) were removed. Bumper stickers advertising vacation spots and political views were scraped off. In some cases, windshield decals from European municipalities were added.
*To extras waiting to join the "Terrible Neighborhood" and "Terrible Flat" scenes, a wardrobe specialist announced, "Please remove your personal jewelry including school rings and wedding bands; this is supposed to be a gritty neighborhood full of crackhouses and you're poor... you hocked all of your jewelry - for drugs."
*Over the course of filming the Terrible Neighborhood scene, two tanker-truckloads of water were sprayed onto the location neighborhood streets because, for looks, wet roadways were considered preferable to dry pavement.
*Carice van Houten actually played the character of Roger's wife Gretchen Ferris, but all her scenes were deleted and she does not appear in the final cut.
*The soccer match that Aisha's nephews are watching on TV is a Nationwide League Division Three match between Yeovil Town and Torquay United. The match was played on 27th September 2003.

Colin Farrell sex tape back in 2002 and he just can’t get away from it. Well, the sexy Irish bad boy with his smoldering eyes and body to die for in a sex tape? No one is wanting to forget about that video. The naughty tape features Farrell with hot Playboy Playmate Nicole Narain. She and her friend, Candace Smith were sued by Ferrel to prevent the tape from being released.
Why is that Hollywood stars never learn to not to make sex tapes? They always get put on the internet and everybody talks about them and looks and snickers. Or, they get used for blackmail. Either way, its just not a real good idea to film yourself doing naughty things on tape.
It was when Farrell tried to get the tape back that their stories go in different directions. She claims that he asked for a copy of the tape and when she took it to get copied it disappeared. He claims he asked her to join with him in his effort to keep the tape from being made public. He also says she refused and was part of the plan to sell it.
