James Cameron

James Cameron has written and directed many great films, he was the executive producer on the popular film 'Point Break' and his screen play was used to make the film 'Strange Days'. I believe an incredible feat he made was the Aliens film which was a sequel to Ridley Scott's Alien. Usually when another director makes a sequel to someone else's film it doesn't live up to it's predeccessor but he made a film on a par with the original if not better. Terminator 2: Judgement day was a film just as good as the original and in my opinion a better film than the original. Obviously both films are excellent in their own right. It is difficult to judge these films as the first terminator film had a much smaller budget than the sequel.
He is currently working on a new film called 'Avatar' which involves communication with aliens on another planet. The film follows the story a man brought to a distant planet and sees it has an alternate home before the peace is broken and a battle for survival ensues. James Cameron had the idea for this film in the early nineties but decided to wait till the technology was advanced enough. A big percentage of the film is said to be computer generated.

Scream Trilogy

This was an original idea with all three films giving a great feeling of mystery right till the end. Lots of character development is made throughout the films although no one can see through the killer's lies until they reveal themselves. The creepy mask and outfit keep the killer's identity hidden and you are left wondering who it could be. The film's originality is broad and the killer actually calls to ask the victim questions about films building tension. You are constantly unaware of the killer's next appearance keeping excitement high throughout.

Canon EOS 500D SLR Digital Camera Price: £870.00

This camera has a high resolution LCD screen, HD Video, ISO range and a compact build. It comes highly recommended although at a high price. This camera is an upgrade of the 450D model. It has an excellent and fast auto focus feature producing quality imaging. It is a camera worthy of it's price.

An Inconvenient Truth

The sun sends out light waves to the earth which are reflected by Infra Red Radiation into the earth's thin atmosphere which then reflects back to us although the earth's atmosphere is becoming thicker because of pollution causing infra red radiation to be trapped therefore making the planet hotter.

There is a great danger in global warming destroying our planet. This presentaton by Al Gore explains the damage we are doing to the planet, animals and our well-being. There could be a vast change in climate within the next fifty years according to Gore.

He makes the point of people's misunderstanding with the Earth's fragility which I believe is important and why we are in danger of destroying the planet. Many people describe this presentation as dubious and exaggerated. Even so maybe people should be panicking about this sooner rather than later to make any difference they can before it is too late.

No other politician wants to cause such panic among us although Al Gore is giving us a chance to save ourselves through this presentation. He has been chastised by other politicians through the media who choose to ignore the fact we will be in real trouble in years to come if we continue to destroy the planet.

He uses several charts and graphs to show the extremities our current actions will create in the future. From one level to an incredible rise which would be our demise. The ice caps keeping our climate at an unharmful temperature are melting because of global warming. This may wipe out the polar bear. The rise of carbon dioxide levels on one chart showing vast increased temperatures in the next fifty years.

The fact of the matter is people are already dieing from severe weather conditions and natural disasters. In hotter countries across the world people are having many deaths from hotter summers, floods, hurricanes and typhoons.

There are many things people should know in how to prevent the damage global warming is causing such as planting a tree, which through it's lifetime will absorb a ton of carbon dioxide, thermostats, recycling and hybrid cars.

LAbyrinth

Recently read the book about corruption in the LAPD following the murders of rappers Tupac Shakur and Christopher Wallace. From the outset we are told the story of a cop shooting of ironically another cop. The corrupt victim who instigated the altercation was African-American and therefore this was castigated through the media as a race related case. The book follows an LAPD officers hard work on the case.

The story also follows other corrupt officials and the removal of cocaine which was kept as evidence by the police, and also an officer being responsible for the pregnancy of a minor. There are many references to things not done legitimately. One under-cover division was closed, therefore causing a rise in crime. This just proving what a problem these corrupt officials create.

A lot of the story follows Suge Knight and death row records. Sometimes up to seventy gang members were at his recording studios, also police officers were employed as security staff, thus arousing suspicion among the detective on this case towards a man who had previously been charged with breaking the law including witnesses afraid to testify against this man who held such power. Someone was murdered at a death row party involving gang members and nobody was charged.

The story unfolds lots of suspicions surrounding the murders and that the truth could be found if looked for, rather than the media and others misleading the public to believe that these crimes are a mystery.

His final report on the case was changed from around forty pages to just two, as usual the powers that be decide to withhold the truth from the media. This lack of judgement in withholding the truth will probably always be a problem especially in this situation with both crooked cops and race discrimination.

Resident Evil 5 and Silent Hill: Homecoming

Recently just completed Resident Evil 5 and didn't find any puzzles throughout the game. Does this game need them? I think maybe it does because it's only taken a week to finish it. I am currently playing Silent Hill: Homecoming and I am impressed by this game.
There are many puzzles in this 'Homecoming' instalment to the excellent series and you have to search to get further. Although I haven't completed it yet I think the puzzles make the game more interesting instead of shooting your way through the game as in Resident Evil 5.
The action does keep RE5 exciting in an arcade way of looking at it but maybe a few puzzles wouldn't have gone a miss.

Resident Evil 5

Another instalment of the very popular 'Resident Evil' series comes to xbox 360. The fifth game sees Chris Redfield accompanied by a new partner 'Sheva' in Africa to challenge and put an end to the evil plot of Albert Wesker. Vulnerable countries have been targeted by Albert Wesker to release bio terrorism. The people are infected and zombified.
The game's graphics are excellent and the monsters you face are very realistic and give the experience of an animated film. The transformed people now mindless come thick and fast to attack you. You can play the game online, playing through as someone's partner. The character control is fantastically fluid and more direct with your 360 controller movement to give an added effect of realism.
