Smosh!

I think that everyone must know to a couple of dudes that make videos and more videos on Youtube.
Well, like the all the world, but with a difference: they are awesome. Smosh is a pair of friends that since they were sixteen or fourteen years old, they have been making videos about comedy. They always have tried to get the attention of the people with the laugh. And they have achieve it.

One day, someone very important watched a video of these genious and he (or she) decided to hire them. So, nowadays, they have their own website and they make videos weekly but no like before. Now they have a team to help them, a lot of secondary characters, video editing and with stuntmen!

In conclusion, google smosh and discover all the powerfull of a young friends with a lot of free time; and now, with money:

Joe Hisaishi

Today, more than a musician, I bring you a little-known composer in the Western world. But you sure have heard on of his songs. This  Japanese composer born on 6th of December (1950) in Nagano. Hishaishi, at the age of 4 years (yes, it isn't a mistake, with 4 years) began playing the violind, he discovered a passion that will led him to be the highest in the Eastern culture. He has composed more than one hundred songs and soundtracks and many other arrangements for orchestra. He is linked to the Ghibli Studio since its inception, he has provided sountracks such as 'Spirited Away', 'Mononoke Pincess' and "Howl's Moving Castle. Moreover, he isn't stuck in the world of animation; then, for instance, he composed the soundtrack for "Goodbyes" (in 2008), a Japanese film directed by Yorijo Takita who won an Academy Award for Best Foreing Language Film in 2009.

With a very sharp taste, Hisaishi will shoe contemporary music with touches that remind us to the oriental style, but at no time wiil hit us too if we were not part of the globe. He has a personal preference to the piano in much ofhis work, as we can see how this is just moving into almost all his works - taking a leading role. And he also gives a great importance to the string section, but he will not ever forget the other instruments.

Here I put a song from the soundtrack that he has perform with the Ghibli Studio:

Due Date

It seems a curse that haunts me and there is no way I can go to watch Scott Pilgrim. I was disappointed after going to the cinema and discover I caould not watch the movie because of "technical problems" with the cinema. We decided that we had walked to go to there, we was other.

The film that we chose was ' Due Date ' directed by Todd Phillips (director of some films like the popular: ' The Hangover ' ), starred by Zach Galifianakis - actor who is gaining fame through this type of comedy - and by Robert Downey Jr. ( a.k.a Stark in Iron Man).

After The Hangover (I think I repeat myself too), Todd Phillips return with a lot of strength with a beast comedy in which we are presented to Peter Highman, an architect who has carefully planned every day, a perfect life with his beatiful wife. Peter is excited about the upcoming birth of their child to be born in just five days. Peter catchesa quickly a flight from Atlanta to go as soon as possible the birth of his wife, but he will meet an obstacle that will haunt him all the way: Ethan Tremblay, a young aspiring actor, whose appearance will be the cause of all the problems for Peter ( I  am not going to explai what happens, becaese it is extremely epic ). Peter lost the plane and passes to the blacklist - which is deprived the opportunity to fly. After losing his wallet and all his belongings, Peter eventually will end with Ethan, everything will result an amazing and strange adventure.

Like we find the same team that in 'The Hangover' is not surprising that we are facing to a very similar film. The plot has no secret, is the typical story where the characters have to go from point A to the poitn B in X time, so we won't find any unexpected disaster. Nor we will find a great soundtrack that put our hair up; we will listen just a pair of little songs out there and no more interesting. Of course, something that no one can't denied - and that make it a nice film - is the scenes of comedy, they are so epic that you will be rolling on the floor laughing. The stars will end in such unpredictable sitations that we can just shout: " What the ... ? "
You won't stop of laughing all the time. Be careful! Not drop de popcorn.

And I almost forget!!, the main characters will be accompanied by Sony, a dog that will surprise us because It does somethings very human. Persinally, I love the game of the ashes of the father of Ethan, who will carry in a coffee can and it will end involved in a series of catastrophic sitations (no, no, it is not a spoiler! calm down!! )

The movie lacks of a good end, because we used to see fucking atrocities and, finally, the main characters will survive... but, you cannot have everything in the life.

In a few words, it's worth watching with friends to have fun and laughing with them.

Oh, man! I had forgotten I haven't seen Scott Pilgrim yet... Danm it! I really want to watch Scott Pilgrim! (This is not a commercial .... )

Time of Eve!

Even no Jinkan, a.k.a Time of Eve, is a film of 6 OVA's collection which were realeased among the years 2008 and 2009. Moreover, this film put together all the OVA, it also adds extra material to make his comprehension easlier. Even no Jinkan take as base the three Isaac Asimov's robotic laws. We will enter in a world in which the robots are being used, mostly,  as servants and slaves; the human order them all kind of work. The robots will have a halo - the unique difference among a normal human and a robot - because the robots are so achieved that it's very difficult to distinguish if someone is a human or is a robot. In this world, we will meet to Rikuo - a student of the high school who have lived all his life with bots. Sammy - an engineer that works in the family of Rikuo - has discovered an anomaly after doing many investigations, this anomaly is a sentence: "Are you enjoying the time of eve?". Riuko will find out the results of Sammy's investigations, and he will tell everything to his best friend and classmate Masaki. Together will find a strange way to a strange coffee shop. This coffee shop, called 'The Time of Eve', would be completely normal, except a fact. There is a rule in this place, an idea very simple, and idea that will change everything and will be the main theme of the film: There's no differences among humans and robots.

I think that almost everyone has heard the three-law of robotic by Isaac Asimov:
- A robot may not injure a human, being or, through inaction, allow a human being to come to harm.
- A robot must obey any orders fiven to it by human beings, except where such orders would conflict with the First Law.
- A robot must protect its own existene as long as such protection does not conflict with the First or Second Law.

If you are looking for action, you won't find it here, because the structure of the film are the conversations that the main characters will have with the customers of the bar. We won't ever know if the speakers are persons or robots. The robotss will be tied to the three laws in a way that neither Rikuo nor Masaki would can imagine, there are many interpretations of the film in which we will find obvious gaps and deep reflexions.

The characters will see that the caffee is a word completely different, as he would be in a dream in which everyone has his own rules. A dream in which everyone will be free, but they will be forced to wake up for facing the troubles of the real life. A caffee that will be the reality of the main characters, and their normal life will be an illusion from which they try to escape.

We will watch a world in that the more human are robots, who achieve the liberty in that small part of the world, because they are despised and treated like scum. Well, like everything isn't going to be pink. The film, crearly inspirated in the book 'I, Robot' bye Asimov; we'll watch that many people hate the robot because many facts, like for example, they stole the jobs. This faction is represented by the 'Ethics Committee', which promotes the separation between men and robots. This committee try to close all the places annuoncements like ' Would you eat a tomato grown by a machine? ' in which the robots are with humans for along time.

Flashforward

The officials in the state of Arkansas are looking for what could have caused that more than one thousand black birds to fall and die from the sky.

The Game and Fish Arkansas Comission said that they start receiving the first reports about the dead birds about the 23.30 Friday night, in the town of Beebe.

The ornithologist of the Comission, Karen Rowe, says the birds showed a physical trauma and she added: "The birds could have been hit by a lightning or a high-altitude hail", but she can't garantee anything.

The Comission says the birds could have dead by the fireworks, the New Year's Eve when every one celebrated it with a party and making noise; maybe the pressure of the new year killed these birds.

Robby King, wildlife inspector of the company, collected 65 dead birds to take them to the laboratories of Livestock and Poultry State Comission and the National Health Center of Wildlife in Wisconsin.

Similar phenomena have been reported in more places, said Karen Rowe, who assured that the tests are not usually conclusive. The expert announced that she doubted that the black birds were poisoned.

Jamie Cullum

Here we have a music a recommendation for the Jazz lovers, here we have to Jamie Cullum. He borned the 20th of August in 1979, in Ramford (England). He's a very popular Jazz musician whose career started in the bars and cocktail locals of his hometown. The true Cullum's music career, for us to understand, started when he was at the university (he studied cinema and english literature) with the group: Jamie Cullum Trio. with whom he played a lot of concerts and they recorded their first album: Heard it All Before (in 1999). Even tough few copies of this first album were made, he reached to get attetion, thus he managed a contract with the discography Universal Records in 2003. Later, he sold 850.000 copies with Twentysomething his first album with this record company. Even, in 2008, he played a theme in the famous film Gran Torino - a film that everyone must watch before die.

In my point of view, I love his Jazz music in which the piano has such prominence, and yes! I know that it's a personal preference. But particullary, I think that a Jazz can be considered a very good Jazz if you can use all the elements of the oldschool and make with them this kind of music, fashioned, new and original, as Cullum does.

Below, I put you two videos of this great artist, if you like it, please, look for more and more songs of Jamie Cullum.
