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.

Watch Crazy Video on the Road

Posted on 01 March 2010

According to the latest research, 60 per cent of licensed American drivers would not pass a written driving test again. It was found out that drivers forget basic rules each year passed. For this or some other reason we have so many crazy guys on the road. Actually, that is what I would like to offer you today – crazy driving videos.
In the majority of cases road accidents happen because of drivers’ distracted and inattentive behavior. Some drivers imagine themselves to be Julius Caesar who could do several tasks simultaneously. Such “multitasking” drivers make me both frighten and laugh.
When asking people what crazes have they seen on the road, we got curious results. Some of surveyed even confessed in their own rash actions on the road. Among the boldest multitasking drivers I would name a man shaving his head while driving, a woman painting her toenails, a shaving cop, a woman speaking by cell and eating a cup of soup or another reading a newspaper. But there were such cases that cause my keen interest and surprise. Could you imagine that it is possible to change a diaper on the child, sit on the passenger side just with a cruise control on, working on a laptop, or standing on the driver seat? Dangerous? Yeah! Surprising? Sure!
By the way, it was proved that men are still better at passing a driving test than women, but the gap is decreasing each year. There was also a curious relation between driver’s age and his results: the older a driver, the better his results are. So, if you are 35 or older, my congratulations, you are more likely to pass the test. At the same time, the worst age for passing the test appeared to be from 18 to 24 year old, when the failure rate was the highest.
Just be careful on the road. There are places for driving craze such as Glamis Video – Live Your Life.

Dangerous & Shocking: Shark Attack Video

Posted on 25 February 2010

What about ticking the nerves, I thought in the morning. As a result of such an unusual and inexplicable feeling I have here some dangerous and shocking shark attack video clips. By the way, do you know that every year sharks attack people about 100 times; on average 10 of their victims dye in the result? The figures cannot be exact because not every shark attack is reported. Sometimes, it happens due to bad mass media as in the countries of the third world, or due to government politics – they just do not want to cause panic. Anyway, the numbers are terrifying.
The most common places where sharks dwell are nearshore waters and areas with steep drop-offs.
There are supposed to be three kinds of shark attacks excluding a provoked one. The most common is a so called “hit and run” attack. That happens in the majority of cases with swimmers and surfers in nearshore area. A shark makes a single bite and disappears. As a rule injures after this kind of a shark attack is nor life threatening. Unlike “hit and run” two other types of attack known as “bump and bite” and “sneak” result in hard injuries and even fatality. “Bump and bite” means that a shark circles bumping a victim, then attacks it. “Sneak” means that there will be no any warning before an attack.
Well, in spite of a terrifying data it is no need to panic. Much more people suffer and even dye annually through bees, snakes or swaps fault. Or the risk of dying from lightning is 30 times bigger than form shark attacks. So, just follow the rules and pay attention to signs during your holiday at the seaside. And you will not be in danger. If you have got interested in the most unusual natural predators you may find it captivating to get to know about Dangerous & Charming Video of Venus Flytrap. Enjoy the curious facts and shocking videos.

Blockbuster Video New Release: Shutter Island

Posted on 22 February 2010

The industry of filmmaking does not stop surprising fans of good movie by a great number of new releases lately. One of the latest ones presented in Blockbuster rental stores is Shutter Island.
The film Shutter Island was released in February, 2010. The plot is based on the novel of the same name written by Dennis Lehane. The work on the film began in March, 2008 and finished at the end of 2009. At first, the movie was supposed to be released earlier, but the work took longer than expected. Shutter Island is directed by a world famous director Martin Scorsese.
The story goes about Chuck Aule and Teddy Daniels (played by Mark Ruffalo and Leonardo DiCaprio respectively) who team up to find a criminally insane patient who has escaped to an island off the coasts of Massachusetts where he was kept. During their investigation they face a web of lies and deceptions, and even nature happenings. In the end the things turn upside down when it becomes clear that Teddy is also a mental patient kept in the hospital for several years because of killing his wife. A so called investigation was nothing more than a role play invented by doctors so as to help him live out delusional fantasy and return to the reality.

The first night of the Shutter Island took place as a part of the 60th Berlin International Film Festival on 13th February, 2010. The film critics spot aesthetic taste and intellectual plot. The film appeals the audience by exciting puzzles but does not involve emotionally. Actually, there are diverse opinions on the Shutter Island, but anyway the overwhelming majority of them are positive.
About other novelties in the world of filmmaking you will find out in New Movie Rentals at BlockBuster Video. Have a good time!
