Maybe it is time to take a good look at the old Mad Max movies. The price of oil is going up as never before and may reach $200 in a few weeks. In Indonesia people are rioting today because the government can not longer keep the price down. In Europe fishermen and professional drivers are protesting the high prices.
In Egypt the people are revolting against the high price of bread that comes from the high price of oil.

So remember the Mad Max movies and remember we already start fighting for oil in Iraq. If you have not seen the movie now is a good time to see it.

The Swedish Pirate Bay has been sued by the giants in Hollywood and they want a few million for lost of income. But the owners of Pirate Bay think that sounds like a bad Hollywood movie.

In Sweden you can not ask for huge sums of money and expect to win the sum has to be well calculated and real proof have to shown that you really have lost this kind of money.

Some of the founders of The Pirate Bay have moved there assets out of Sweden to avoid the government to take any money from them if they loose the court case.

The first Jessica Simpson movie I saw is the duke of Hazard and it’s not that good. Sorry for the fan of Jessica Simpson but I have to say that. She looks stunning in that movie but still she was not that good in acting in the movie and also the movie script was not that good either.

A few days ago, I went to the DVD shop and found one Jessica Simpson movie and I thought “What the heck” tried to see her movie again, maybe this one is good. But I can guess from the movie title “Blonde Ambition” that the movie will focus on her beauty with her fake blonde hair. And again after I watched it, it sucks still and also her acting was not that good either.

So this is only my opinion and please I think Jessica is better to be a singer not an actress, she cares too much about her look in the movie, and I will wait to watch the movie of her like a normal girl with not a lot of make up like the previous movies of her that I saw before. I’m waiting for it, Jess.

A real story about a young man that sets of to find what he calls his real life after collage. He cuts all his credit and ID card and give 24 000 US to a charity group and sets of in his old car.

He blames his parents for all his problems and thinks they are too much into money and he wants get away from it all and his ultimate goal is Alaska waste wilderness.

What struck me in the movie are all the nice people he met alone the way, maybe they are nice because must have told their side of the story. The movie makers have tracked down almost everybody that met him during his years as Alexander Supertramp his new alias.

But even the nicest of people that even want to adopt him can stop him from throwing himself to the mercy of the wilderness. I think he was very bad prepped for the trip and would have at least taken a survival course (like John Lock in LOST).

It is a really sad movie even if there are some nice moments but you know where it going to end.

One of the people behind Trade Doubler (that’s Swedish Double Click) has opened a new company with the money he got from the launch on the Swedish stock market. Jacob de Geer the CEO (and my childhood friend) wants people to get paid to share paid movies. The idea is that people should rent a movie and see it within 24 hours and then share it to other users.

You will off course not get back the full amount of money that you rented the movie from but you can make some cash even if the new site Ameibo has not yet stated how much.

The company has all the major movie companies in on this deal and it would be the first time in the world that someone really pays for file sharing.

For now the site will only be in Swedish (not start in USA as normal) but I am sure it will be launched internationally soon.

Camcorders

Camcorders refer to portable equipments which offer both video supported by audio recording facilities and is an electronic device. Previously when the camcorders were released fro the first time, they used analog video tapes. However with the improvement of technological skills and with the progress of time, the camcorders came to be used for the recording of digital videos. The camcorder at present is comprised of both a video cassette recorder and a video camera and hence it receives its name. Each camcorder has three distinct parts which perform a variety of functions. These are the lens, the imager and the recorder. The lens is required to grasp light from the light source and focus it on the imager. The lens also allows certain regulation of functions like zoom, aperture and shutter speed. The imager is more of an image sensor which contains a CMOS or CCD sensory device which transforms the light received from the lens in the form of electronic video signals through a complex electronic process. In the digital camcorders which are prevalently used nowadays, the ADC or analog to digital converter enables to the analog output into a digital video signal. The third most important part of the camcorder is the recorder which ensures the transferring of this video signal into the final recording medium.

Improved techniques employed in the composition of digital camcorders have greatly enhanced its quality of service. The new age digital camcorders contain miniDV, Digital8, DVD, hard disk, flash memory and one of the major advantages it has over its analog counterparts is the fact that they provide higher resolution compared to the analog versions and are also free of jitters and color bleeding problems. These camcorders aid in recording events of great importance, historically or politically and are thus very helpful for the media and also for entertainment purposes like celluloid ventures.

However, voyeurism is a common problem and thus camcorders need to be used with responsibility.

Marie Antoinette, another movie of Sophia Coppola, the famous director who is the daughter of Ford Coppola, the director of Godfather I, II and III. Marie Antoinette is a bit disappointing me because I think it expected in it a lot since I know it was Sophia Coppola’s movies. I love all her movies since the Virgin Suicides and Lost in Translation.

But the thing I like about Marie Antoinette is the soundtrack which is composed by the Swedish band called “The Radio Apartment”. I love all songs in the movie. And one more thing I like is the dresses. All dresses that Marie Antoinette wears look stunning and amazing.

Anyway, Marie Antoinette is not that bad if you don’t expect a lot more from it like me since the director is Sophia Coppola. But you will enjoy it still with the great scene of the Versailles Palace, the dresses and the songs.

City of God or Cidade De Deus, the movie from Brazil which is a good mix of violence, love, tragedy, adventure, sex, murder, friendship and gangster. All of them can be found in this movie. It’s the movie which the leading role is a normal man who stayed in the violence city in Rio De Janeiro of Brazil. The movie showed his life since his childhood in the era of 60 until his adolescent time in the era of 70.

City of God is the city which really exists at Rio De Janeiro in Brazil. It’s full of violence and drug. The city was controlled by powerful drug dealers and turns to be the war field because there is more than one powerful drug dealer but two, so the war happened in order to have only one dealers control the city.

The story was told by a normal man who lived his normal life at the city of God. He didn’t prefer the life of the drug dealers but want to be a photographer instead. And because of his loving career, it turned him to get involved with drug dealers accidentally. He became the photographer who took photos for drug dealers and post them on the newspaper. If you want to know more about this movie, I suggest you to buy and watch it by yourself. I can tell you it’s so worth your time.

It’s the best movie with many violent scenes better suit to people who are more than 18. The only thing I doubt about this movie is that why they don’t get the Academy Award.

Trainspotting is one of my favorite movies ever. It’s the story of a group of friends who are addicted to drug. I have to see that this is a movie with many scenes of drug and a lot describe about people who are the drug addictors.

Ewan McGregor acted so great in this movie. I will never forget the scene that he dip his head into the toilet flush in order to look for the drugs which he throw them into it. I have to say it’s the most disgusting scene I’ve ever seen in my life and still remind me if someone talk to me about trainspotting that scene will come first to my mind.

Besides from a lof of drug, sex and violence scenes, there is also the language. They speak English in this movie but with Scottish accent which, for my opinion, the hardest English accent to understand what they say. Especially for me who thinks the English people’s accent is very hard to understand but since I saw this movie, the English people’s accent is like a piece of cake for me to understand.

If you haven’t seen it yet, it’s not too late to find the DVD to look at it again but it’s not that easy to find since it’s a 11-year-old movie. It took me almost three months to get that movie, I have to ask for many DVD shops until I get one from the DVD shop near to my home, what a waste of time.

Anyway, it’s not the movie with the greatest script if compare with others but there are many scenes that you will remember forever about this movie.

I just saw the movie, National Treasure, on 31st of December. It’s kinda giving me the feeling of watching “Indiana” movies. The movie is about a man whose ancestor is a victim of one of the murderers who killed Abraham Lincoln, the hero of United State of America. And he has to prove that his ancestor is innocent by searching the treasure which his ancestor tried to destroy the map in order to prevent the terrorists to go get it.

The story of this moving is about the adventure of a group of people who come search for the treasure. It’s one of the “Jerry Buckheimer” movies, so the audiences can be sure in the excitement and some funny things from this movie.

Since the story seems have no different from other searching-treasure movies as we used to see before. The thing that makes this movie different from them is that the Book of secret, which I don’t know it really exists or not but it can make this movie has a bit more excitement. The movie says that the book of secret is the book of the president of United State of America, no one is allowed to read it only the president. It’s the very old books which has been written many secret things, like missions or others and send to the next president. This book can help Nicholas Cage reach to the treasure which he’s looking for and since he found it, he can prove to the world that his ancestor is an innocent man who tried to protect the country with his life.

This movie is worth to see if you expect something excitement and also for which who are the big fan of “Jerry Buckheimer” movies like Amageddon, Pearl Harbor and others.
