The Chronicles of Narnia: Prince Caspian
Posted May 18, 2008 Category: Entertainment | Leave a Comment |
Running Time: 2 hr. 20 min.
Release Date: May 16, 2008
MPAA Rating: PG for epic battle action and violence
Starring: Peter Dinklage, Anna Popplewell, Ben Barnes, Georgie Henley, Skandar Keynes, William Moseley
Directed by: Andrew Adamson
What’s the Story?
A year after their very eventful encounter with a closet, the former Kings and Queens of Narnia are summoned back unexpectedly to their part-time monarchy, only to find that nearly a millennium and a half have gone by in their former kingdom. The wicked Telmarines have taken over and booted the broodingly handsome Prince Caspian from his rightful throne. The Pevensie kids team up with the Prince to help him deal with his anger issues and send his scheming Uncle Miraz packing.
3 Good Reasons
- Talented young newcomer Ben Barnes had to ditch a commitment to England’s prestigious Royal National Theatre to take the title role. Apparently, it’s better to rule in Narnia than serve on the stage.
- There’ll be some surprises even for kids who own dog-eared copies of the book. Returning director Andrew Adamson has added some new thrills to the classic story.
- Three words: bloodthirsty… swashbuckling… rodent. The character of Reepicheep, voiced by edgy British comic Eddie Izzard, is quite the man… for a mouse.

When it comes to losing weight after having a baby, most celebrities don’t mess around.
Blink and you may miss the time it takes many famous new moms to make the transition from bulging baby bump to red carpet ready.
That can be frustrating for the typical woman to watch. After all, she may not have quite the same resources available to the stars but wants just as badly to reclaim her body.
And though doctors say women should focus on taking care of themselves and their babies in their first few post-partum months, rather than rushing to shed the extra pounds, that’s easier said than done.
If you’re a new mom eager to get in shape again, experts say there are a few things you can learn from the stars. While not all of their methods are worth mimicking, many are tried and true and could help you achieve notable results. Read more

Venezuela axes “The Simpsons” as bad for kids
Posted April 16, 2008 Category: Entertainment | Leave a Comment |
CARACAS (Reuters) – Venezuela has forced U.S. cartoon “The Simpsons” off its airwaves, calling the show a potentially bad influence on children, and filled its morning slot with reruns of the beach-and-bikini show “Baywatch.”
“The Simpsons” satirical take on a dysfunctional American family had been shown, dubbed into Spanish, on the Televen network at an 11 am slot.
“Today I believe they started broadcasting something else,” said a spokesman at Venezuela’s broadcasting regulator Conatel. “They were infringing many things in the television and radio social responsibility law.”
Conatel said it started proceedings against the morning airing of the show after complaints from viewers.
Televen has replaced the long-running and popular cartoon with “Baywatch Hawaii,” late seasons of the “Baywatch” series that made actress Pamela Anderson a household name.
20th Century Fox Television, which owns “The Simpsons” and is part of News Corp, said it was not immediately able to comment on the decision to pull “The Simpsons.” The long-running show was once criticized by former U.S. President George H. W. Bush but is now a major U.S. cultural reference.
Many Venezuelan television stations fill their schedules with reruns of old U.S. series and Latin American soap-operas.
SSD (Solid State Disk) in laptops: prices still high, will you wait?
Posted April 15, 2008 Category: Technology | Leave a Comment |
If your buying a laptop in 2008 then it’s a good idea to look at SSD (Solid State Disk) options as they have many benefits, but as soon as you add this to a laptop one thing changes right away and that’s price. SSD’s are still a lot of money compared to normal hard drives, maybe they will come down in 2009, but for now expect to pay more money for this little extra.
Earlier today peter reported about the upcoming Toshiba Portege R500 12Q that will come with a 128GB SSD drive and it also features a dual-layer DVD writer, 2GB of DDR2 RAM, 12.1-inch LED-backlit display and a Core 2 Duo ULV U7700 processor. There is no word on price yet, but again we can expect it to be more than it’s competitor with a normal hard drive.
Will consumers make the move to SSD now or will most people wait until the price crashes, I have always been one to buy early on and also one that pays the price for it. While prices have come down a little, this time I am waiting it out and they may be some time yet.
Do you own a laptop with SSD and if not would you wait until the price comes down a lot or pay a premium now?

American Idol: Ramiel Malubay Eliminated
Posted April 2, 2008 Category: Entertainment | Leave a Comment |
After Jasmin Trias and Camile Velasco, another Filipino made it as one of the 24 finalist of American Idol.
The very pretty 20 year old Ramiele Macrowon-Malubay, a native of Miramar, Florida, who once said …
If Jasmin can do it, I can do it!
…freaked out after knowing she is included in the final 24. Ramiel established her attachment with music early at the age 12 when she sang in her cousin’s birthday. The very talented Filipina can also play the piano as well as the guitar which is being taught to her by her sister. Besides singing and playing instruments, she also did some Polynesian Dancing since she was on the first grade.
The “Pinay American Idol” is a huge fan of Regine Velasquez. She said that she really doesn’t want to be famous but instead, represent the Asian community especially the Filipinos in this competition where the whole world is watching.
And guess what, like every Filipino; Ramiele Malubay also tried eating balot (balut)…
The weirdest thing I have ever eaten, balot (balut), It’s like a … I think it’s a duck egg. It’s cooked but there’s a baby inside. … I don’t know, I don’t eat it anymore. But it tastes good if you eat the outside part, instead of the baby inside.
Ramiele stopped nursing school for this season and promised to go back if not chosen to be the next American Idol. Read more
