Hosting the Oscars

Anne Hathaway and James Franco hosted the Oscars. They were a lovely couple portraying the young, newness of the era. With the hosts being young it brought a younger group of listeners. Anne Hathaway did an awesome job looking at the camera and acting comfortable. James Franco on the other hand did not seem comfortable on stage.  He did not look at the camera and kept getting distracted. Over all they did a good job playing it safe, not messing up.

The Razzies

The Razzies are the votes of worst movies of the year. This year at the top of the list is The Last Airbender. The Last Airbender received razzies for worst picture, worst director, worst screenplay, worst supporting actor, and an all new category worst eye-gouging misuse of 3-D. It was a lame movie but it was not made for adults. Since adults voted for it of course they did not like The Last Airbender. According to all the kids around seven-years-old the film was fantastic. It was probably the best movie they ever saw.

The King's Speech

The King's Speech was directed by Tom Hooper,  a director mentioned on this blog before. Apparently he is extremely awesome at what he does because he received the Oscars best director award and his movie received best picture and best original screenplay. It was a great movie and deserved the awards it received. It was very well planned and very luck to have had the opportunity to be produced because not a lot of producers would take the risk.

Officer Shooting

http://theprowlnewspaper.blogspot.com/2011/02/gibbs-high-school-student-arrested-for.html   

1. I believe the parents could have done something more like being there for their child but, I have never met them so I do not know what they taught their six-teeen year old. 
2.     I think that the offficer could have been wearing a bullet proof vest but, that intirely depends on where he was because it is not like he woke up and thought today I'm going to get shot let me be prepared.
3.     I think it is crazy that so many officers have died. They did not even realize that it would be the last time they saw their family.

Tom Hooper's New Direction.

Tom Hooper after being nominated best director in the Oscars has received plenty of movie deals. One had been to direct Iron Man 3. Another was to direct the musical Les Miserables. He turned down Iron Man 3 but I believe it would have been smart to go with the newer thing.  He was smart although, in noticing that it is the third in the series. Series of movies usually are not as popular. The first movie is awesome but the rest go down hill from there. Les Miserables will be nice for the older folks and hopefully he will give it a new likeness that younger kids will enjoy it too if he chooses to direct it.

Somali Pirates

Two couples were taken hostage by Somali pirates and were mortally wounded February 15th by their captors. A little while later a U.S. special operations team boarded the hijacked vessel, killed two of the pirates, and captured the rest. This is not just happening to one yacht but it has happened to twenty-nine  ships. I think that it would be safer to remain on land but, if you are called to the water I cannot stop you. The last somali pirate attack was off East Africa but, you may never know where they will hit next.

Internet Service Cut From Libya

 Egyptian authorities cut Internet service for a few days during a revolt that succeeded last week in toppling Hosni Mubarak after 30 years in power. The online traffic in and out of Libya was shut down at 7:15 p.m. EST on Friday February 18th. Some protestors in Libya were killed in clashes with Libyan security forces in the eastern city of Benghazi on Saturday. In my personal opinion, it is not right for people to kill inside their own nation. On the other hand, It was wrong for the protestors to go against their nation agressively.
