The Best Event Video: Avatar vs The Hurt Locker

Posted on 13 March 2010

All night long directors of both films kept their breath waiting for the results. Somebody was satisfied, while others were definitely not. Avatar of James Cameron won in three categories, and The Hurt Locker took six of them. No doubt, The Hurt Locker is a good and quality film about war, but its victory seems a bit strange.
Some critics suggested their point of view about the issue. Here I have some general factors that might have influenced this year’s results:
•    Social message. People prefer dramas to sci-fi stories. The thing is life stories are closer and more familiar to them than an unknown and fictional world of Pandora. The Americans tend to cheer for the U.S. success war operations in The Hurt Locker rather than watch their defeat in Avatar.
•    Age. The majority of viewers are senior. They have got used to movies that are standard. How can they appreciate the miracle of 3D? Besides, not a single sci-fi film has resulted the best according to the Academy.
•    Completely New. Avatar was a shock for most people who have not seen anything like this in their life. There were several similar precedents in Academy history. Innovations, 3D, new technique – that is not for Oscar.
•    Personal Affection. We could see during the event that voters are inclined to obey blindly their feelings. They have an idol and follow his each step exclaiming how perfect he or she is. And no matter what in reality is. The same happened on the red carpet this year. Just remember the cases of Meryl Strip or George Clooney. And James Cameron, on the contrary, was creamed. What should we love him for?
Well, for this or that reason the best film of these days was beaten by a standard one. Is it fair?

Top 5 Celebrity Appearances in Music Video Clips

Posted on 12 March 2010

We all know that attracting actors and actresses to your music video clip or a promotional campaign is the right step to success. Some singers and bands know this for sure because they frequently resort to celebrities help when filming a music video. Actually, I love making out Top lists such as Top 10 Irritating Commercial Videos or Top 10 Sports Movies Ever. Today I have Top 5 Celebrity Appearances in Music Video Clips. Here we go.
•    Let’s start from a world known band “Fatboy Slim”. One of their best music videos s by right considered “Weapon of Choice”. In the video stars Christopher Walken. Genius collaboration, I would say.
•    The next singer to remember is Michael Jackson. As far as I know, the singer himself directed the video to “Remember the Time” song. The budget of the clip impresses the imagination, still more impressive seems that three celebrities at a time stared in it. Thanks to Eddie Murphy, Magic Johnson, Iman, and, of course, Michael Jackson, for a gorgeous video.
•    Another star heavy music video clip presented Jamie Foxx. His “Blame it on the Alcohol” video gathered together Samual L. Jackson, Jake Gyllenhaal, Forest Whitaker, and Ron Howard.
•    I cannot but remember Elton John who successfully collaborated with several world known celebrities while filming video loops for his album “Song from the West Coast”. Among his stars there were Elizabeth Taylor, Mandy Moore, Justin Timberlake. The most populat video from this album appeared to be “I Want Love” with Robert Downey Jr. in the post rehab period.
•    And the last music video for today is Aerosmith’s “Cryin”. The band involved several stars to collaborate with them. Among them there are Josh Holloway and Stephen Dorff. It is worth mentioning the name of Alicia Silverstone separately. You can see her in several Aerosmith’s works. She was their muse during that period of time.

YouTube Fight Video - Best Hockey Fights Ever

Posted on 09 March 2010

Everybody has his favorite video compilation. For some people these are video clips with adventurous spirit, for others these are crazy video loops, a perfect example of which I have in Watch Crazy Video on the Road. But there are people who go crazy about fights, but not street or professional. The topic of today is the best hockey fights.
Hockey has always attracted a vast audience by tough and cruel games and behavior of some players. By the way, ice hockey is the only major game where fighting is possible. It is supposed that hockey fighting appeared because of the lack of rules that encouraged physical strength to be used. A significant step increasing the amount of fights during the game became an implementation of blue lines. Here I have some YouTube hockey fight video clip for you to enjoy.
Since the year 1992 has acted Rule 56 that is supposed to control so called fisticuffs. In spite of this, hockey is still the toughest and cruelest game these days. Only Olympic ice hockey can be considered an exception.
There is in ice hockey even an unofficial role of “enforcer”. Such players have shifts just like others but their main aim is to deter an opposing player. Actually, players may find multiple reasons to start a fight. Among them there are both game related and personal.
There have been several efforts to ban hockey fighting. As a rule this happens after the media spreads the facts about any act of violence. Anyway, we can see no results of these campaigns yet. The thing is many people still love watching hockey as it is nowadays. They create video compilations and share them on the Internet. In the result, it turns into a pandemic hobby. But is it so harmless for players and for the game in general?

Hurricane Best Video & Curious Facts

Posted on 04 March 2010

Nature is rich in inexplicable and unexpected phenomena. Some of them bring are worth admiration while others interfere with human’s life and can do a serious harm. You may remember the shocking stories of Dangerous & Shocking Shark Attacks. Now I would like to focus on devastating power of hurricanes and some fascinating facts about them.
Hurricanes usually form on the areas of low air pressure where difference between clouds and warm water cause rotating wind streams. Hurricane have about 700 – 800 km in diameter with a so called eye (or center) up to 35 km. I wonder that weather condition in the center of a hurricane is very calm and nice while whirling streams around it hit everything on their way with tremendous force.


Hurricanes are usually accompanied with severe floods, which is the main reason of human deaths (about 90 per cent). It is essential for whirling winds to support at least 75 degrees of Fahrenheit to survive. That is why we can’t remember any hurricanes in cold waters of North America’s West Coast. The same reason stipulates the season for hurricanes to appear – late summer or early fall.
By the way, hurricanes can cause very positive consequences. Do you know, for example, that a hurricane once stopped a war? It was in 1888 when German fleet faced American one near the coasts of Samoa. The German troops were about to attack when a hurricane began and destroyed both fleets. Soldiers started to help each other, and the incident was forgotten.
It is a long tradition to name hurricanes. At first, they got saints’ names, then scientists began using female names, and only in 1978 man’s names were included as well. The most devastating hurricane in human’s history occurred in Bangladesh in 1970. Over a million lives were taken by wind and water.
