Movie Review: Horton Hears a Who!

*** MIGTH CONTAIN SPOILERS! ***

Featuring: Jim Carrey, Steve Carell, Carol Burnett, Will Arnett, Isla Fisher

Genre: animation

Plot: Elephant tries to save the whos living inside a spec.

Official website: http://www.hortonmovie.com

Comments: It’s sort of fun, though they put more accent on the visuals than on the plot and characters. And Jim Carrey was less annoying since we don’t have to see him.

Rating: 7/10

2008 World Figure Skating Championships Gala

I must say it was one of the most lyrical *cough* boring *cough* gala I've ever seen. I nearly fell asleep during the first half. The only one who didn't seem to be sleep walking were Belbin & Agosto, Berntsson, Joubert and Delobel & Schoenfelder. On the other hand it was also one of the best organized gala, the organizers brought in Team Surprise and piannist Robert Wells and the closing number could fit in any ice show, it was just great for once!

2008 World Figure Skating Championships - Men SP

1 Jeffrey BUTTLE CAN 82.10
2 Johnny WEIR USA 80.79
3 Daisuke TAKAHASHI JPN 80.40
4 Tomas VERNER CZE 79.87
5 Stephane LAMBIEL SUI 79.12
6 Brian JOUBERT FRA 77.75
7 Patrick CHAN CAN 72.81
8 Takahiko KOZUKA JPN 70.91
9 Kevin VAN DER PERREN BEL 70.24
10 Kristoffer BERNTSSON SWE 69.02

The competition was pretty dull this week but the Men SP changed that. The last four groups were great, the skaters gave all they had and there was a real battle going on.

Great skates, mistakes included but still great: Takahashi, Verner, Joubert, Berntsson, Lambiel.

Buttle and Weird weren't bad but boring. No matter what some say Joubert didn't deserve the second point deducted.

Fluff highlights of the day: Verner and Joubert blowing kisses at each other through the camera.

Deception Poster

Deception Poster

First poster for Deception aka The List aka The Tourist is revealed.

Other than the protagonists' names, Hugh Jackman, Ewan McGregor, Michelle Williams, we don't get to see much.

My opinion... we need a better shot.
