I have been waiting to see this movie for a long time and it is really worth the wait. Hill and Cera have only two months left until they finish high school and they want to go out in a bang, the find a party they want to go and things start from there. These two guys are also going to two different colleges and they have been friends since they were 10, so separation is also affecting them. The point from where they meet the girls and when they have to go to the party is the most hilarious adventure, they are all trying desperatly to get alcohol and what they run into is something they didn’t expect. I don’t think there isn’t a comedian who isn’t in this movie, there are many comedians from Super Troopers and Knocked Up who are in this movie, I just couldn’t stop laughing.

Doctor Stephen Strange was a neurosurgeon in a prominent hospital in New York, suddenly he witness a battle in the realm of magic in front of him which he thinks is a hallucination. He ignores what he saw and continues with his life until one day he sees something no normal human can see, and suddenly gets into a car accident which renders his hands useless as a surgeon. From that point on he searches for a solution and finds none, he continues on this path until he has destroyed his life. When he has reached bottom he is shown a path which leads to Tibet and may hold his answers. This is a well made animation with a story line to boot, it revolves around Dr. Strange and his path to becoming the powerful magician, it shows the origins of his powers and how he came to be. The action in this movie is superb and quality is high, it seems Marvel are coming out with good quality animated movie to bring back the popularity of their characters, if they continue on this path then they will succeed.

The final episode of this hilarious trilogy, I have been a fan of the Pirates of the Caribbean since the first movie. I can’t see to get enough of Johnny Depp, he is an amazing actor, he makes this movie what it is. This final ties up all the stories together and you get to see all the characters from before and new ones. The pirates are at stand off with the company and they have to find a way out, and the pirates might not survive this battle. The pirates have to find Johnny Depp who is stuck in Davey Jones Locker, then they have another quest to find their solution. The best part is seeing the funny parts unravel as they trek about the oceans and one pirate betraying the other. It is a good and entertaining conclusion to this trilogy.

Balsa doesn’t care what others will say, she will protect Chagum with her life and the with the help of her odd family. The animation itself is very well done with a fantastic story line, and your attention is always pulled into the development of Chagum. I recommend this to anyone who wants to watch an anime with a very good storyline.

This is a different movie then what I usually watch but I started to enjoy the story to I continued. These are four girls united from their experiences and their mothers were all in the same maternity class.

Their friendship began since they were young and it grew from their, and at this period in their lives they were going to have different summers and they wanted to share it through the pants that miraculously fit all of them. The story is about all the difficulties they went through and how they support each other and grow, I honetly liked the movie.

I used to be a huge fan of the Ninos by the seaside during the early years but I felt that the quality of food has declined over the years so I stopped going about 5 years ago. I did remember that they had some really good veal and chicken with lemon sauce or mushroom cream sauce. It would really hit the spot before, so now when the new one opened I thought to check it out and I was hoping that the quality of food would be what it used to be or even better.

I have had lunch there twice now and both times the service was great, the food was very good and exactly what I was hoping for. They have a very large outdoor patio area which they will be opening soon, the seating is very nice and overall I really like the place. I’m looking forward to trying more dishes since everything I ate was tasty. I felt that it even tasted better then the old Ninos I remember and it was refreshing.

Students living in the roughest parts of Southern California, so much so that living another day is an accomplishment for them. Freedom Writers is a group of these young people who wrote about their day to day lives while being supported so much by their teacher that she went with them from teaching freshman and sophomores to juniors and seniors and then following them to college to make sure they stay together and strong. Hilary Swank plays this teacher, it is a moving story and she fits the role perfectly as the optimistic teacher of a group of students who everyone has given up on. Its an amazing story of people bonding together with such different backgrounds and relating to each other based on their experiences and the difficulties they faced in life, and the war that is their lives. Most of these students face life and death situations on a daily basis, and they have lost more friends then they could count. It is a difficult path they have, and it is amazing to see how they overcome the difficulties to survive life and more.

I have stayed in the Grosvener House a couple of times over the past couple of years. I have tried other hotels in Dubai and none have been as comfortable or as good a service as this hotel. The staff are very friendly and flexible with all the facilities at the hotel.

I noticed that the hotels don’t have a capability to make a booking between each other easily, unlike hotels in the US that usually have relationships when they are in the same city. In Dubai it seems each Hotel is on its own to serve its customers.

The entertainment system in the rooms are very good, and the internet is decent. The room facilities are great, the controls of the room is through a small touch screen system for the lighting, A/C and a few other controls. The bathroom is very comfortable with a large shower which perfect at the end of the long day. The room service of the hotel is fantastic even at 3 am in the morning without any problems, the food tasted great and they were quick to deliver. I would recommend this hotel to anyone who wants service from the hotel they are staying at. When it comes to rates Dubai is inconsistent, it goes up and down without any notice.
