Verizon activates 3.2 million iPhones in Q1
Verizon Wireless today announced its first quarter 2012 financial results, which included activation of 3.2 million iPhones. MacRumors reports that while iPhone sales were down from 4.3 million in the prior quarter, they still accounted for more than half of the company's 6.3 million smartphone units sold during the period. In addition, Verizon claimed that 4G LTE users now make up 9.1 percent of Verizon's wireless user base, although it is unknown what portion of those are third-generation iPad with Wi-Fi + 4G owners.

Fresh Bites: Sweet long peppers perfect for snacking, grilling and stuffing
Long and skinny, they boast a deep flavour that's also amazing in salads, dips, soups and more.

After years of blocky bell peppers, a new greenhouse-grown sweet red pepper has captured my taste buds. Long and skinny, it boasts a deep flavour that's amazing in salads, dips, soups and much more.
As the story goes, major Ontario grower Paul Mastronardi, president of Mastronardi Produce in Kingsville, was meeting with a seed company when he spied a crate of long red peppers destined for compost.
Though he'd never been fond of peppers, one bite convinced him he'd found "maybe the sweetest pepper in the world," super sweet and never bitter. He promptly trademarked the phrase and the name Ancient Sweets (now called Sweet Twister) and began growing them year-round under the Sunset brand at his greenhouses throughout North America.
"We strive to do in-store demos as some consumers think they're hot," says Daniela Ferro, Mastronardi's communication co-ordinator. "People are pleasantly surprised once they try them."
To prove these sweet peppers aren't just a pretty face, they recently won the prestigious international Superior Taste Award from a Belgium-based institute.
We now have several brands of these sweets peppers to choose from, including Rustico by Mucci Farms in Leamington. I recently found a gorgeous pile of long dark reds sold loose at Longo's. Loblaws and Sobeys have their own packaged varieties. All called — wait for it — sweet long peppers.
Grill up a few this long weekend!
What makes them special?
Buy & Store
Greenhouse grown
Roasted Red Peppers
Couscous-stuffed Sweet Long Peppers
This fantastic meatless main course is adapted from Mastronardi Produce in Kingsville, which grows the Sweet Twister greenhouse pepper. The ingredient list is long but worth it. Raid your local bulk food store for the couscous, nuts, dried fruit and spices.
6 long sweet red peppers, about 5 oz (150 g) each
1 cup (250 mL) vegetable or low-sodium chicken broth
1 tsp (5 mL) kosher salt
1 tbsp (15 mL) olive oil
2 tbsp (30 mL) lemon juice
1 tsp (5 mL) curry powder
1 tbsp (15 mL) minced garlic
1/4 tsp (1 mL) cayenne pepper
3/4 cup (180 mL) regular or whole wheat couscous
1 cup (250 mL) canned chickpeas, drained well
2 large ribs celery, finely chopped
3 green onions, thinly sliced
1/2 cup (125 mL) dried cranberries, chopped
1/2 cup (125 mL) dried apricots, chopped
1 cup (250 mL) chopped walnuts, toasted*
1 cup (250 mL) crumbled feta cheese
1 egg, lightly beaten
*To toast walnuts, place in small skillet on medium heat and stir until hot and fragrant.
Slit peppers down the centre, leaving stem intact. Place on a baking sheet, gently spread open and remove seeds.
In small saucepan, combine broth, salt, olive oil, lemon juice, curry powder, garlic and cayenne. Bring to boil over high heat and stir in couscous. Remove from heat immediately and cover with a tight-fitting lid.
Let sit 15 minutes; uncover and fluff with a fork.
Meanwhile, in large bowl mix chickpeas, celery, green onions, cranberries, apricots, walnuts and feta cheese. Add cooked couscous and egg and toss to combine.
Divide mixture and lightly stuff peppers. Bake at 375 F (190C) for 20 minutes, until filling is hot and peppers wilt. Serve warm.
Makes six servings.

Elliot Rosado was fed up, tired of seeing the same old story.
Rosado, a longtime coach, trainer and mentor to young basketball players in the Bronx, kept running into kids who had enough talent to play college basketball but lacked the grades.
So a few years ago, he decided to do something about it.
Rosado and his wife funded SAT tutors for some of the local players with the hope that they'd acquire the requisite scores to satisfy the NCAA Clearinghouse.
Seven years later, that effort has spawned the Books & Ball Foundation, a charitable organization that helps players take the SAT test as early as their freshman year and provides funds for tutoring and testing fees.
"Basketball is the easiest part," Rosado says. "Trying to get the SAT score is another issue."
This is the message that Rosado and his guests will impart to young players on Saturday, when he hosts the seventh annual Books & Ball All-City Classic at the Baychester Community Center.
"Kids are waiting too late to take the SAT test, and they don't have to," Rosado said. "We want them to take it as early as possible so they can get the score they need."
Rosado's game will feature some of the top sixth, seventh and eighth graders in the area in games starting at 4 p.m. At 7 p.m., some of the top high school players, including Seton Hall-bound guards Isiah Whitehead and Kadeem Carrington, will play in a game.
Former St. Raymond's and Arkansas standout Kareem Reid will address the players with a message about the importance of education.
"He'll talk to them about taking the SATs early. The game is the easy part," Rosado said. "We want kids to know about the importance of getting their scores, too."

The time is long past due for Egypt to abandon the humiliating policy of appeasement. History shows clearly that those who adopt the approach lay the foundation for their own imperilment. Stop appeasing U.S. and Zionist aggression and re-adopt and genuine national foreign policy for Egypt and the Arab Nation!

Garden Grocer is an awesome service. They delivered a day ahead of my arrival to Coronado Resort in Disney World (with the approval of the front desk) and all my food was delivered immediately after checking in. They stored all perishables in their refrigerator. . All items were correct and though the prices are slightly higher than a normal grocery store we saved big money eating breakfast in the room and having food late at night when we'd get back!! I highly recommend this service!
Great service! Order was perfect & was waiting on us when checked into our resort. Will use again!
Every aspect of ordering from Garden Grocer was perfect start to finish. The website was easy to navigate, the prices were reasonable, the follow-up phone call confirmation gave me confidence in dealing with this company for the first time, the text message I received letting me know my groceries were waiting for me while I was en route gave me great peace of mind, the accuracy of my order and the freshness of the products I received were of the best quality. I highly recommend using Garden Grocer for anyone staying at a Walt Disney World resort. I won't hesitate to use them on my next vacation!

Fincantieri's Riva Trigoso (Genoa) shipyard celebrates the launch of the frigate "Carlo Margottini", the third of a series of Fremm vessels - Multi Mission European Frigates, ordered from Fincantieri by the Italian Navy within the framework of an Italo-French program of cooperation.
Godmother to the ship was Ms. Stefania Portaccio, granddaughter of Captain Carlo Margottini. The frigate was named in honour of Captain Carlo Margottini, who was decorated for military valour after the sinking of Nave Artigliere in 1940.
Present at the ceremony were, among others, Roberta Pinotti, Italian Under Secretary of Defence, Claudio Burlando, Governor of Liguria, Admiral Luigi Binelli Mantelli, Chief of the Italian Defence General Staff, Admiral Giuseppe De Giorgi, Chief of the Italian Navy, and Giuseppe Bono, CEO of Fincantieri.
The vessel, which is due for delivery in early 2014 in Muggiano (La Spezia), will feature a high degree of flexibility, capable of operating in all tactical situations. 144 metres long with a beam of 19.7 metres, the ship will have a displacement at full load of approximately 6,700 tonnes. The "Carlo Margottini" will have a maximum speed of over 27 knots and will provide accommodation for a crew of 200.
The ships in the FREMM program constitute state of the art vessels of European and Italian defence in the Mediterranean and will replace the "Lupo" and "Maestrale" class frigates built by Fincantieri in the 1970s.
Participating in the initiative as prime contractor for Italy is Orizzonte Sistemi Navali (51% Fincantieri, 49% Finmeccanica) and, as prime contractor for France, Armaris (DCNS + Thales).
The cooperation has drawn of the highly positive experience of the previous Italo-French program "Orizzonte" under which two frigates were built for the Italian Navy, the "Andrea Doria" and the "Caio Duilio".

Standards & Compliance Briefing: ISO 14001 Revision, LEED for Obama Poster Building
In a meeting in Bogota last week, a working group approved the ISO 14001 Committee Draft 2 (CD2) document for publication, in the latest step towards revision of that standard. The document is expected to be published next week, according to certification and testing company LRQA.
Real estate firm Transwestern's mixed-use building at 815 Connecticut Ave., NW in Washington, DC has received Platinum certification under the LEED – Existing Buildings: Operations & Maintenance system. President Obama toured the project – a renovation to a nearly 50-year-old building – in 2011 to launch his Better Buildings Initiative, which encourages owners to make commercial properties more efficient, the Washington Business Journal says. The building features a new exterior facade, more efficient HVAC systems and energy monitoring, and now saves about $350,000 a year in utility expenses.
Food Services of America has added Marine Stewardship Council-certified seafood to ten regional distribution centers, certified by SCS Global Services. FSA supplies fresh food products to restaurants and commercial kitchens in the US Midwest and Western states, as well as Alaska. The first distribution center to begin sourcing MSC-certified seafood will be in the Pacific Northwest.
Grand Valley State University's Seidman College of Business has received LEED Gold certification for its $40 million, 127,643 sq ft L. William Seidman Center in downtown Grand Rapids, Mich. The center reuses a brownfield site, the Grand Rapids Business Journal reports.

You can't fire Wes. He doesn't work for you. He's like that dude from Pulp Fiction who gets called in to clean up sticky situations. Sometimes it's a young guy who is great on the court but sucks at life. Wes will straighten his ass out. He'll say, "You're coming with me, young fella." Then he'll lay it out on the table like, "Dude, you're screwin' up." He'll look at his entourage and say, "This person stays, but these clowns gotta go." Sometimes it's a coach who calls him for help, or a teammate or an agent. But he gets through to guys because he never asks for anything. And it doesn't hurt that he remembers the name of everyone he's ever met. ...
Because he has the ear of every player, coach, GM and sneaker company, a lot of people around basketball like to hate on Wes. Agents worry that he's going to steal their clients and steer them to one of his favorite agents. They think he's a glorified runner, a dude who agents send around to befriend players, get them into clubs and eventually get them to sign a contract. It's a shady business. But Wes is not one of those guys. Wes isn't running for anyone. I'm sure he's got his ways to make money, but he's interested only in setting up deals and making sure the people around you are looking out for you. When I got to the NBA he asked me if my agent was taking care of me. I told him about my contract, and Wes said it was cool, that my agent did a good job. He just wanted to know that I was taken care of.

HAHAHA this ad reminds me of a nip/tuck chapter.
What a weird concept...
Don't try to stand out of the crowd; avoid crowds altoghether.
As a male with long hair (very tiny market) I actually find these to be a little funny. I'll use whatever shampoo I can find but if my girlfriend has a nice product that wont have me in tangles all day I'll use it. Seeing men with "beautiful" hair is a little odd, and it ties in well with having a woman with great shampoo behind her man.
The killer here is the outfit he is wearing. Why is he dressed like a metro with womanly hair? and that thing around his neck... Ugh. Perhaps they should have found male model that didn't look like he was trying so hard.

AMD is targeting the price-performance market with Polaris 10 & 11 GPUs
If you were anticipating that AMD's upcoming Polaris 10 and Polaris 11 graphics chips would be delivering trail blazing performance, the latest statement will probably break your heart. However, for notebook owners as well as mainstream computer system owners, the story is going to be a little different thanks to the latest interview, where critical information was confirmed by AMD's Roy Taylor.

You prove nothing but BS give a link AH
Published By: Angela Campbell on April 28, 2016 02:52 pm EST
Advanced Micro Devices (NASDAQ: AMD) is having a field day at the expense of its competition, Intel Corp. (NASDAQ: INTC) and Nvidia Corporation (NASDAQ: NVDA) as it continues resurging to become a relevant force in the market which had deemed it more or less technologically obsolete. AMD has cornered and cut itself a large slice of the VR market and secured itself as the de facto supplier when it comes to the lucrative console market, which is expected to generate $1.5 billion in revenue over 3 major console releases. This could very well indicate that the company has secured contracts with market giants Sony Corp. (NYSE: SNE), Microsoft Corporation's (NASDAQ: MSFT) Xbox lineup as well as Nintendo's upcoming NX.
Based on current rumours, the industry expects the Nintendo NX to be powered by AMD's Zen architecture, and is divided on Microsoft's "Xbox Two" and has speculations regarding the alleged Sony PS4K which has been all but confirmed. The PS4K possibly has already been leaked as the "Neo" variant of its SoC is already being discussed and is expected to be in play once VR becomes a factor, which requires considerable computational power and visual computing ability, something that the current gen PS4 may not be able to match at high resolutions.
Zen as an architecture update is expected to bring as much as 40% improvements to Instructions Per Cycle counts per core. In a nutshell, an increase in IPC counts means that every core could compute data 40% faster per clock, so essentially, clock-for-clock, Zen would be 1.4X faster than its predecessor, the Bulldozer architecture. At the same time, making a long-overdue move to the 14nm manufacturing process with Zen would allow the chipmaker to run higher clocks, reduce production cost over the long term and boast significantly higher efficiency when it comes to a per-transistor and a per-watt basis.
It must be noted that the hype surrounded Zen should be checked given that similar gains were expected when AMD's Bulldozer architecture was about to be introduced, but it fell far short of expectations and Intel's recent push in the market over time has only resulted in a larger performance gap. AMD is looking to rebuild itself as a market competitor in various markets and along with its Polaris architecture, is also expected to rely heavily on Zen in order to capture some server market share in an industry otherwise dominated by Intel completely. More importantly, the Zen-based APUs can essentially give both Intel and Nvidia a run for their money, especially in entry level hardware, something that AMD has, to a small degree, already put into motion with its mobility chipsets and its Bristol Ridge APUs, which are expected to become main stream this year. This would essentially cut into entry level hardware margins quite heavily and eliminate, if not seriously limit, Nvidia and Intel-based mobile solutions for mid-range hardware given the pricing points AMD has shown it is willing to use of late.
I sure don't need that!!!

It looks like the answer is NO, bot if you want to read it google the subject
& owns every every video delivery system in the world
It would be more FEE's for AMD. I don't give a darn if AMD makes 1 more chip from a fab. Fee's would take it to $40
Advanced Micro Devices, Inc. (NASDAQ:AMD) stock couldn't have a more dramatic journey. It was up by over 50% in one trading session, and down by double-digits in the next. Can AMD stock maintain this kind of price level?
More Upside in AMD Stock?
Well, first off, Friday's surge was a big surprise. The company reported earnings after the closing bell on Thursday, and the upward momentum just couldn't be stopped. AMD stock closed up 52.3% higher on Friday, marking its largest single-day gain since the company went public back in 1979.
Were the earnings good? Yes and no.
company is still not profitable, but its loss was narrower than before and also better than analysts' estimates. In the first quarter of 2016, AMD had a loss of nine cents per share. Revenue actually declined 19.2% year-over-year to $832.0 million for the quarter, but was still better than Wall Street's expectation of $819.1 million. (Source: "AMD Reports 2016 First Quarter Results," Advanced Micro Devices, Inc., April 21, 2016.)
Earnings only reflect what the company has done in the past. It's the future that investors really care about. And on that front, AMD has good news.
The company has formed a joint venture with Tianjin Haiguang Advanced Technology Investment Co. (THATIC). AMD recently signed an agreement to license its processor and system-on-a-chip (SoC) technology to the joint venture, helping to create server chips tailored to the Chinese market.
Under the deal, AMD will receive $239 million in licensing fees and royalty from products sold by the joint venture. Investors liked the news because the deal would not only bring more business to the company, but also help AMD compete with Intel Corporation (NASDAQ:INTC) in China.
AMD also issued a cheerful guidance. For the second quarter of 2016, the company expects a sequential revenue increase of 15%, plus or minus three percent. This implies a revenue range of $931.8 million to $981.8 million, which is well above Wall Street's forecast of $890.8 million.
Despite the relative newness of the PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and Wii U, all three consoles are getting replaced this year by their respective makers.
In the cases of Sony and Microsoft, that means new versions of the PlayStation 4 and Xbox One.
In the case of Nintendo, it means a new game console altogether — currently codenamed "NX" — that's yet-to-be revealed.
More than just rumors, though, chip company AMD is creating three custom, game console-grade chips that are going to make the chip-maker billions of dollars across the next several years. We're betting that those three chips are headed to new consoles from Sony, Microsoft, and Nintendo.
The company held a quarterly earnings call last week where company execs detailed three "system-on-a-chip" [SoC] products that start launching in 2016 — all three will be inside consumer products and sold by 2017, AMD said. These are exactly the kind of chips that currently power the PlayStation 4 and Xbox One, that could just as easily power Nintendo's next game console. They require little power, are capable of powering high-end games, and come in small enough form factors that they're easily placed inside of home game consoles.
Beyond all the other logic, AMD's timeline easily connects the three mystery chips to three new game consoles from Sony, Microsoft, and Nintendo.

I only send the information that I receive, but I do like the respect that you just gave me. So thank you.
douchebagdestroyer you are and forever be a total FOOL.
Just think, if INTC would have spent the money on R&D instead of paying backdoor people like dell. AMD would never had a chance & we would be into a zone that we cannot even foresee today. If business has the same rights as people they should be arrested for Treason.
Thanks buddy!
You have won & you know that the bashers are low paid FOOL's. Time for you to enjoy your attention to the real facts & let the BS'er be what they are.
This company is not for sale
Every old tech stock Is down, I have to think it is because they will pay to upgrade to AMD or be left behind, while we use our computers to do everything

Kick-AssAndrew O'Dea
An unnoticed high school student with no powers or training decides to become a super-hero.
"Kick-Ass" weaves teen melodrama with some of the coarsest language and most gratuitous and glorious violence ever seen on screen. Every action sequence is amazingly original, bolstered by inventive choreography and superb production values. Although the storyline is flimsy in parts, the uneven pacing may be considered deliberate, as our expectations are frequently and often shockingly shattered at any given moment. The director is to be applauded for this completely unrestrained film, free from industry conformity. Genuinely messed up, but totally kicks ass.
Whisky with VodkaAnne Murphy
A renowned actor named Otto is the epitome of the problematic but beloved ladies man.
Movies about producing movies are always interesting, and "Whisky with Vodka" doesn't disappoint on that front. With lots of takes and re-takes as the talent misbehaves, this film within a film starts to take shape. Themes of aging are explored without connecting directly to the emotions involved, and the script plays more for gags than for soul searching. It suffers from not being more tightly edited, but perhaps there were too many anecdotes drawn from real life to squeeze into the plot. Amiable and spirited without a lasting hangover, it will be dissipated by the morning after.

Accidents HappenAnne Murphy
Billy Conway has become the de facto glue between his bitter mum, distant brother, and stoic dad.
Stories of tragedy that are constructed with humour, albeit dark or black humour, reflect life a little as we tend to live it, when hanging on and trying to cope. "Accidents Happen" shows how strong the bonds of family can be, how tough and at the same time how vulnerable family members are. The film is carefully crafted to evoke an earlier era and the audience is transported to a typical suburb somewhere where mishaps are the norm. Be warned, as the emotional punch packed by this movie happens to be no accident.
Date NightWendy Slevison
In New York City, a case of mistaken identity turns a bored married couple's attempt at a glamorous and romantic evening into something more thrilling and dangerous.
With its highly talented stars and strong supporting cast, this movie should have been a sure thing. What a disappointment that it's barely funny, and even worse, actually quite boring. The staging and script are clumsy, trying way too hard to garner laughs. Somehow nothing seems to click, and you just end up feeling uncomfortable watching so much effort for so little return. Like a bad date, "Date Night" makes you wish you'd opted for a quiet night in.
She's Out of My LeagueAnthony Macali
An average Joe meets the perfect woman, but his lack of confidence and the influence of his friends and family begin to pick away at the relationship.
"She's Out of My League" is a formulaic film about formulas. The amusing calculations rank partners and simply highlight the fact that the annoying Kirk really is undeserving of his 'Hard 10' crush. It's only fair to rate the movie itself accordingly. Moments of awkwardness +1, cliché after cliché -1, two-dimensional characters -2. With such an emphasis on character, it's a shame the cast share very few redeeming qualities. A story of questionable truth and out of its depth.
MicmacsAnne Murphy
A man and his friends come up with an original plan to destroy two big weapons manufacturers.
The campaign against some big bad guys that's mounted by a group of comical misfits is as inventive as it is enchanting, largely due to the truly marvellous production design. "Micmacs" is a visual feast, and the resourceful inventions created from recycled junk are captivating, all of which covers for a plot that's a little thin. Part fairy-tale, part comic book, this movie is zany, whimsical and totally engaging. Ponder the underlying social comment about arms use later and enjoy the quirky on-screen antics today.
The ReboundAnthony Macali
In New York City, a single mom captivates her new neighbour, a much younger man.
"The Rebound" is a perfectly serviceable romantic comedy that ticks all the right boxes. There is great chemistry between the two leads, even though the children steal the show with their questionable preciousness and jocularity. The movie's worst quality would be the title, partly derived by Sandy's unique profession in sport statistics, making her even more appealing to the boys. As predictable as it may be, it's nicely wrapped up in a series of extended montages, preventing any forays into the over-soppy. The aim is true, as this film scores a winner in all the right categories.
Eating Out: All You Can EatAnne Murphy
Tiffani and her friend Casey try to lure the gorgeous Zack with a phony online profile using the image of Tiffani's buff ex, Ryan... which works fine until the real Ryan shows up.
"Eating Out 3" is the latest installment in a trilogy following the romps of a group of characters through some raunchy situations and hook-ups. The style is almost cartoonish, with beefcake leads who spend little time with their shirts on, and their daffy female friends. This movie looks like it was made on a shoestring budget without extravagant sets or staging. If you like trashy, with some decent one-liners, try dining here.

Hollywood je t'aimeAnne Murphy
A gay Parisian shows up in Hollywood at Christmas time, ready for his close-up.
A not so classic take on the Hollywood experience where every actor is a waiter and vice-versa. While the central Frenchman starts out as a "Dorothy" type of tourist transported to a strange land, he soon links up with a colourful band of supporters. Los Angeles is shown as unglamorous and seedy, yet in this movie the city is loved only for the diversity of the big-hearted characters encountered while trekking its yellow brick road. Je t'aime adventures in Hollywood, where prudes will need to stay home.

DareAnne Murphy
A drama centred around three high school seniors - an aspiring actress, her misfit best friend, and a loner - who become engaged in an intimate and complicated relationship.
This coming of age movie covers all the social awkwardness of teenagers discovering themselves as friends and lovers. Dollops of naivety and maturity are stirred in to create realistic and likable characters that are topped up with a measure of angst and balanced out with charm. The storyline of "Dare" takes its characters through new experiences and interesting predicaments. It's a little bent yet nonetheless could cross over to a mainstream audience. Dare to be different.

Cop OutAnthony Macali
A comedy about a veteran NYPD cop whose rare baseball card is stolen. Since it's his only hope to pay for his daughter's upcoming wedding, he recruits his partner to track down the thief.
"Cop Out" is a deliberate homage to the budding action-comedy films of the eighties, and does them a great injustice. There are some jokes, but they mainly consist of characters behaving badly to themes of terribly distorted music that insult the subject of its imitations. Admittedly, there is fun pondering over the motivations of the cast and if they realised they were a partner to such a flop. This film should be suspended without release.
Cirque du Freak: The Vampire's AssistantCourtney Slevison
A teenage boy unknowingly breaks a 200-year-old truce between two warring factions of vampires.
This film has all the right ingredients but never quite lives up to its initial promise. There is great potential in the colourful and quirky characters, but due to a slow and drawn-out plot, they never really get fleshed out. Lying somewhere between comedy and pre-teen horror, there just aren't enough laughs or scares to succeed in either genre. As the title clearly suggests, this film is designed to be the first of a franchise, but for a film about vampires and circus freaks, it just doesn't have enough bite to keep you hooked.
You'll Miss MeAnne Murphy
The lives of six people converge briefly at an airport, where arrivals and departures are the norm.
"You'll Miss Me" is composed of a delightful series of vignettes that deftly intersect and overlap, exploring loves lost and found. The movie delves into the emotions of people with vastly different lives, the laughs laced with feelings. The production has a warm hearted feel, perhaps only possible because it's French - it's certainly not as theatrical as the English ensemble pieces it is so reminiscent of. Try not to miss this one.
- Genre » Drama Comedy Romance
- Release » Limited 06 Mar 2010
- Festival » French Film Festival 2010
The Men Who Stare at GoatsAnne Murphy
A reporter in Iraq might just have the story of a lifetime when he meets a former member of the U.S. Army's New Earth Army, a unit that employs paranormal powers in their missions.
"The Men Who Stare at Goats" is goofy and amicably humoured, yet it's disappointing and insufficiently acerbic considering the military parody it aspires to be. The good natured cast are excellent although it's a shame one of them isn't a goatherd as this movie is a little free range. The story is funny enough, but the plot wanders pointlessly, leaving the audience glassy eyed and staring.
Valentine's DayCourtney Slevison
Couples and singles break-up and make-up based on the expectations of Valentine's Day.
"Valentine's Day" is cute, undemanding fluff, offering nothing original or unique to the rom-com genre. Boasting an impressive ensemble cast of Hollywood stars, the film feels a bit crowded with everyone scrambling for screen time, ultimately leaving you with only an unsatisfying snippet of each storyline. Like the sickly sweet candy shared on the day of love, the initial cheap thrill wears off, leaving you wanting something a bit more substantial. However a few funny moments and the odd 'warm fuzzy' make this an enjoyable enough date movie.
Tooth FairyLuke Bartter
A bad deed on the part of a tough minor-league hockey player results in an unusual sentence: He must serve one week as a real-life tooth fairy.
Despite relying on the visual of a grown man dressed as a fairy to hook you in, this family comedy provides plenty of enjoyment, mainly due to the charisma of its leads. Several of the story-lines run parallel to create a feel similar to a series of sketches, and while there are no surprises to be found, "Tooth Fairy" is never boring and occasionally quite funny. Far more likeable and charming than expected, it's recommended for children, inner and actual.
In the LoopAnne Murphy
The US President and UK Prime Minister fancy a war. But not everyone agrees war is a good thing.
Incisive political satire at its best, filmed with a sense of authenticity. The realism is almost mock-umentary in style from a fly-on-the-wall perspective. The story is horrifyingly familiar, being inspired by recent political machinations. The characters are variously bumbling, vain, despicable, and witty as they form convenient alliances in the corridors and bathrooms of power. Depictions of the political forces of darkness are cynical, inspired, outrageous and hilarious. Loop the loop and laugh.
It's ComplicatedWendy Slevison
During their son's graduation, Jane hooks up with her ex-husband, Jake, who's now remarried. As well as becoming her ex's mistress, Jane also finds herself drawn to Adam, a smitten architect.
This movie, a quirky variation on the typical love triangle premise, is extremely funny. On many occasions throughout, the entire cinema was laughing uproariously, a somewhat rare experience. The delightful stars work fabulously together, and appear to be having an absolute ball. The feeling is contagious. It's really not complicated at all â for a good laugh and a bit of fun, see this film!
Bran Nue DaeAnne Murphy
In the summer of 1965 a young man is filled with the life of the idyllic old pearling port Broome - fishing, hanging out with his mates and his girl.
It's a pleasure to watch a colourful Australian film that doesn't skirt around serious indigenous issues. Even with its underlying messages "Bran Nue Dae" is far from sombre; humour and music are the vehicles used to stir the collective conscience of the audience. This is a funny, high-spirited and rollicking road trip with an outstanding ensemble cast. If only every day dawned so brightly...
Up in the AirAnne Murphy
With a job that has him traveling around the country firing people, Ryan Bingham leads an empty life out of a suitcase, until his company does the unexpected: ground him.
A movie for the times, "Up in the Air" is topical and astutely observed. Social satire doesn't get delivered more incisively than this perfectly balanced movie. Just when a character approaches caricature the comedic effect is turned back and some of life's big questions are plausibly presented. We respond with a collective sigh, not to mention the odd tear. Let "Up in the Air" bring you back to earth.
Fantastic Mr. FoxAnthony Macali
Angry farmers, tired of sharing their chickens with a sly fox, look to get rid of their opponent and his family.
You quickly forget "Fantastic Mr. Fox" is a children's book as you marvel at the quirk and style of this clever adaption. The wild assortment of animals spring to life in impressive detail and spellbinding character, going about their business just like real people would. It's always funny when the foxes behave like humans, and while children may not understand all the jocularity, this sly fox has enough charisma to keep any audience enthralled. Cussing brilliant!
The French KissersWendy Slevison
A coming-of-age tale about an adolescent boy and his efforts to fit in amongst his peers.
This is an endearingly pragmatic and unrestrained film about the tricky, sticky life of a French fourteen year old boy. There is no airbrushing here â the pimples are real, and ready to pop - a warning to the weak of stomach! The gritty and authentic performances from the mostly young and inexperienced cast are excellent. The first-time director, previously known for writing comic strips, has created a simple and appealing alternative to the overly-glossy, largely American contributions to the teenage angst genre. Pucker up!
3 IdiotsAmit Jain
Two uni friends embark on a quest to find their lost friend.
This film is witty, emotional and uncontrollably entertaining. Questioning the current education system in India, the movie is subtle in its messages and the many golden rules which can change one's life in a big way. The cinematography and locations used are simply breathtaking. "3 Idiots" is a laughing riot that talks about the most important of human pursuits and preaches not to chase success, but to "...chase excellence and success will follow".
Did You Hear About the Morgans?Wendy Slevison
An estranged couple who witness a murder relocate to a small-town as part of a protection program.
If you did hear about the Morgans, avoid them like the plague. Their movie is dreadful. There is not one redeeming feature. Not the story, not the scenery, and definitely not the two leads. Right from the start, they both seem to know they have made a terrible mistake. It only goes downhill from there. Zero chemistry, performances bordering on caricature and a truly terrible script make this movie an absolute and unqualified disaster. Please spread the word... have nothing to do with the Morgans.
Alvin and the Chipmunks: The SqueakquelAnne Murphy
The world famous singing pre-teen chipmunk trio return to contend with the pressures of school, celebrity, and a rival female music group known as The Chipettes.
A familiar cast of characters squeak and shrill their way through predictable slap-stick fare. Disappointingly there's little depth to the prosaic story-line, and while children will be enormously entertained by the high school antics of the warbling rodents, there is little in the goofy plot to amuse older viewers. Be warned that the best thing about this movie is the clever word play in the title. There's nothing crisp about these cheeky, chirpy chips.

Gingerbread Family 5 Christmas Ornament
Personalized Christmas Ornament
As the icing dries on the gingerbread houses, these gingerbread people are building their pyramid to spread holiday cheer. This personalized family of five gingerbread ornament is adorable. The top two gingerbread are holding onto a peppermint candy, and there is a red heart under the bottom three. With touches of glitter and names on the ornament, this is a wonderful gift to give to a family of five or to grandparents with five grandchildren.
Material: Resin
Ornaments shown on our site are personalized, as examples only, so you can see where we put the words/names you give us. Some ornaments allow you to select hair or uniform color. If there is no color choice, it is not available on that particular ornament. We will do everything possible to catch any mistakes in spelling, etc., but are not responsible if we do as you request, and it is then not correct. The ornament you see above is the way it will look when you get it, except for the personalizing instructions you give us and any optional attributes you select.
