Wedding Crashers John Beckwith (Wilson) and Jeremy Grey (Vaughn), Washington D.C.’s top divorce mediators and lifelong best friends, have never met a wedding they couldn’t charm their way into. [2]

Exclusive - Watch clips from ‘Wedding Crashers.’ [3]

Wedding Crashers is both raunchy and sweet, and features top-notch comic performances from Vince Vaughn and Owen Wilson. [4]

John Beckwith and Jeremy Grey, a pair of committed womanizers who sneak into weddings to take advantage of the romantic tinge in the air, find themselves at odds with one another when John meets and falls for Claire Cleary. [...] Owen Wilson & Vince Vaughn Really Click Well In This One. [1]

But, when they crash the social event of the season, John falls for the daughter (McAdams) of an influential and eccentric politician (Walken) and decides to break the “rules” in pursuit of her love. [...] Guided by a secret set of “wedding crashing rules,” the pair attends a different wedding - and romances different bridesmaids - every week. [2]

“Wilson is disingenuous when the film requires true sincerity and bored when called upon for leading man charisma.” [3]

Jeremy, too, is having his problems after achieving his goal with the Secretary’s other daughter, Gloria (Isla Fisher), perhaps a bit too quickly, as he finds out it was her first time and she quickly attaches herself. [1]

Wedding Crashers is a New Line Cinema presentation of a Tapestry Films production directed by David Dobkin (Shanghai Knights). [4]

John was unable to achieve his goal at the Cleary wedding of establishing a relationship with his other daughter, Claire (Rachel McAdams), who he is also falling in love with. [1]

After infiltrating the lavish affair, John and Jeremy quickly set their sights on bridesmaids Claire (Rachel McAdams) and Gloria (Isla Fisher) Cleary. [4]

This all works very well for them until they decide to crash the wedding of weddings, Secretary Cleary’s (Christopher Walken) daughter and her new husband-to-be. [1]

halloween 2

Friday, July 31st, 2009

The film is set immediately after the first Halloween (1978). [1]

It would be silly, after all, to ban horror films just because Boyer claims to have thought that he was reenacting Halloween 2, or to ban cars because Texas housewife Clara Harris intentionally ran down and killed her husband. [...] Halloween II is a 1981 horror film and the second installment in the Halloween series. [2]

Halloween II is an upcoming 2009 American horror film written, directed, and produced by Rob Zombie. [...] Michael Myers (Tyler Mane) returns to his home town of Haddonfield, bringing death in his wake, to bring “closure to the secrets of his [...] past”. [3]

Laurie Strode is rushed to the hospital, while Sheriff Brackett and Dr. Loomis hunt the streets for Michael Myers, who has found Laurie at the Haddonfield Hospital. [1]

Halloween II will follow the aftermath of the events of the 2007 remake, particularly how they affected Laurie Strode. [3]

Still, the sequel was a box office success, grossing over $25.5 million in the United States. [...] In 1982, the Academy of Science Fiction, Fantasy & Horror Films, USA, nominated the film for two Saturn Awards: Best Horror Film and Best Actor for Donald Pleasence. [...] Halloween II was intended to be the last chapter of the Halloween series to revolve around Michael Myers and Haddonfield, but after the lackluster reaction to Halloween III: Season of the Witch (1982), Michael Myers returned seven years later in Halloween 4: The Return of Michael Myers (1988). [...] Meanwhile, Laurie Strode is taken to Haddonfield Memorial Hospital as Myers becomes luckily alerted to her presence. [2]

Zombie originally passed on doing a sequel to his remake, feeling as though he had no energy left to make another Halloween film. [3]

Laurie Strode struggles to come to terms with her brother Michael’s deadly return to Haddonfield, Illinois; meanwhile, Michael prepares for another reunion with his sister. [4]

, in the fictional American Midwest town of Haddonfield, the seemingly indestructible Michael Myers follows his intended victim Laurie Strode (Jamie Lee Curtis) to a nearby hospital while Dr. Loomis (Donald Pleasence) is still in pursuit of his patient. [2]

Since Jamie Lee Curtis had begun to wear a much shorter hairstyle in the 1980s, she had to wear a wig that matched her original hairstyle for the film. [1]

michael ware

Friday, July 31st, 2009

Despite the change in administration, CNN’s Michael Ware, who regularly issued doom-and-gloom reports on Iraq in past years, bluntly stated during a report on Thursday’s Anderson Cooper 360 that ‘America cannot win the war in Afghanistan…with bombs and bullets,’ and offered that the only solution to the attacks on NATO troops was ‘cutting deals’ with the Taliban and its leader, Mullah Omar. [1]

Michael Ware is a CNN correspondent based in the international news network’s Baghdad bureau. [2]

And if you’re very lucky, what you end up with is Michael Ware. [3]

Michael Ware, a native of Brisbane, Australia, is CNN ’s Baghdad correspondent. [4]

Michael Ware is an Australian journalist reporting for CNN as an international correspondent based in Baghdad. [5]

It’s hard not to admire the hell out of Michael Ware after this clip. [6]

Ware joined CNN in June 2006 and quickly established himself as one of the foremost on air experts on Iraq, providing in-depth analysis and reports across all CNN networks. [2]

Speaking of the sectarian violence in Iraq, on January 30, 2007, Anderson Cooper said “CNN’s Michael Ware has spent years in Iraq watching things get to this point that he described as four separate wars unfolding at once.” [4]

He joined CNN in May 2006, after five years with sister-publication Time Magazine. [7]

“There are two types of war correspondent - those who stick to the circuit of military briefings, safe hotels and careful excursions into unstable areas, and those who throw themselves at the job with apparently reckless disregard for their own safety. [4]

Let’s be honest? we’ve all wondered from time to time why anyone would be crazy enough to be a war correspondent covering a city as dangerous as Baghdad. [...] As the invasion of Iraq shaped up, he entered the country through the Kurdish north, hooking up with US Special Forces teams and Peshmerga militia forces to cover the front line battles. [3]

Ware “has spent the past several years covering war zones for Time Magazine as well as Australia’s Channel 7. [4]

In September 2004, while investigating reports that Abu Mousab al-Zarqawi ’s nascent “al-Qaeda in Iraq ” group was openly claiming control of the Haifa Street area of Baghdad, Ware was briefly held at gunpoint by terrorists loyal to Zarqawi who had pulled pins from live grenades and forced his car to stop. [7]

After watching/listening to other media pundits dutifully regurgitate Bush’s insistence that the surge is working, Ware’s honesty is breathtaking. [6]
