Entertainment > Movie Reviews Movie reviews: Dreamgirls: 6 of 22
3 out of 5 stars...From the beginning, I realized that this is a story about the Supremes. Thus it appeals mainly to the Baby Boomers generation. You might say, "What about the younger generation?". Well, I'll get to that.Overall, the acting was nice (where I could find it). I was suprised to see Eddie Murphy do a serious rol... More..
Entertainment > Movie Reviews Movie reviews:The Fantastic Four: Rise of the Silver Surfer: 5 of 18
Last night at the movies, I went into the auditorium, sat down with my Pepsi and small bag of popcorn, and realized I was a bit skeptical at how well the second movie would be; this considering the production of Ghost rider was less than up to my expectations, and the sequels of the Spiderman franchise depleted ever so slowly...

You have heard about La Nina on your news, but probably don't even know what it is.So, to start off, its basically the direct opposite of El Nino, which is the heating of the Central and Eastern Pacific Ocean.Basically, La Nina is the cooling of the top waters in the ocean, causing less water to evaporate into the atmosphere,...

Definitely a 4.5 out of 5 stars.This is another movie based on true events, and it did well in telling the audience in movie form.This movie (setting in a Californian high school) from start to finish grasps the audience's attention by directly appealing to their emotions.This is the story of a teacher, who had such a large i...

Pets & Animals > Cat Psychology Cats and body language: 15 of 16
Being an owner, understanding your companion is crucial to a long-lasting, loving relationship. Cat's do more than just flick ears and tails; with a trained eye, you can see they have just as many ways to communicate as you and I.Ears:....... Most people believe they only move their ears when they're upset. Wrong!....... When... More..
Entertainment > Movie Reviews Movie reviews: Children of Men: 35 of 37
I give this 4.5 out of 5 stars!Why?Well, to start off, I kind of have to be picky to find the bad points. The camera management was 'okay' compared to all the other elements in this cinema.The actors/actresses did well to portray a realistic environment for the situations in this film. Some of these people are: Clive Owen (De... More..
Sciences > Atmosphere & Weather Global warming: Is it as bad as it's made out to be?: 115 of 117
Global Warming has undoubtedly affected all aspects of society from Culture to Politics. But is it caused solely by humans? Is it as bad as it seems? In any case, 99% of all critics for or against the theory of Global Warming don't even look at all the facts. Take a quick glance through the facts, then see WHY it's not that b... More..
Entertainment > Movie Reviews Movie reviews: Blood Diamond: 34 of 34
Overall, I would give this 4 out of 5 stars on a rating scale, meaning it was well worth my time and effort.Blood Diamond was based off of real facts, (some of which are shown in the end of the movie). This particular movie shows the good and bad points of humanity, making one think about the value of life and how it should b... More..
Entertainment > Movie Reviews Movie reviews: Surf's Up (2007): 9 of 9
Yet another movie about penguins in the past two years. After Happy Feet, the thought of a penguin movie matching its nice rhythms, great voice-overs and good storyline seemed improbable. This being especially since Happy Feet had more popular people (Robin Williams, Nicole Kidman, etc...).I give this movie 3 and 1/2 stars!Th... More..
