Casey Videos

So in case you guys want to see the reaction Casey had while she was in jail and they discovered a dead child in the woods near her home, here is the link to the 2 reaction videos:

http://www.myfoxorlando.com/dpp/news/anthony_case/093011-Anthony-reaction-video-to-be-released?cmp=fbtw

Casey's reaction will be released

Judge Belvin Perry has granted a motion to unseal a videotape in the Casey Anthony case.
That video shows Casey Anthony’s reaction to learning remains of her daughter Caylee were found. Stan Strickland, the former judge in the case, ordered it to be sealed.

In the motion, Judge Perry wrote:
The jail video, as the Court has previously recognized, is a public record subject to disclosure under Chapter 119. The reason for sealing it - Ms. Anthony's right to a fair trial - is no longer applicable because the trial has been completed and she has been acquitted of all charges other than lying to law enforcement officers.

YellowBrickRoad

Valoración: 4/10


Jesse Holland y Andy Mitton dirigen y firman el guión  de este film de terror con aspiraciones pseudos-filosóficas…

“YellowBrickRoad”, nos ubica en Friar New Hampshire, una población donde, en 1940,  todos sus habitantes se reunieron para partir caminando por un sendero que se internaba en lo más profundo de los bosques adyacentes al pueblo. No se llevaron nada, ni dinero, ni pertenecia alguna, incluso sus mascotas quedaron abandonadas… y jamás regresaron. Grupos de búsqueda hallaron cientos de cadáveres, unos habían perecido de frío, otros habían sido claramente torturados y asesinados… y otros tantos permanecen desaparecidos. A raíz de este funesto acontecimiento, las leyendas en torno a esta población y sus bosques no tardan en crecer sin mesura… y en 2008 un equipo de investigación decide tomar el “camino de baldosas amarillas” del título, adentrarse en los bosques  y tratar de descubrir qué ocurrió realmente…

La premisa argumental de la película es altamente interesante, y atrapa al espectador durante la primera media hora de metraje, llenándolo de interrogantes, planteándole nuevas y sobrenaturales incógnitas una vez que comienza el viaje y descubrimientos de los protagonistas…  Pero a partir del primer hecho violento comienza a desinflarse y el interés cede al sopor y al soberano aburrimiento. El guión, lleno de trampas y vacíos, gira y gira sobre sí mismo, saltando, de una amena película de terror, a una propuesta metafísica-filosófica que pierde absolutamente al espectador en sus inexpugnables recovecos.

Un film fallido, con una gran propuesta de partida que bien podía haber aprovechado para regalar, pese a sus escasos medios, una buena película de terror psicológico/sobrenatural y que, en lugar de ello, prefiere navegar por una pretenciosa producción pseudofilosófica, una lástima, un aburrimiento. A evitar.

Vampires

Valoración: 5/10


El director Vincent Lannoo (“Ordinary Man”, “Strass”) dirige y co-escribe (con Frédérique Broos) el guión de esta atípica enésima visita al mundo de los vampiros.

En esta ocasión el formato de la cinta es de falso documental. En ella conoceremos gracias a un equipo televisivo a una familia de vampiros belgas (interpretados por Paul Ahmarani, Julián Doré, Carlo Ferrante, Alexandra Kamp-Groeneveld…), un matrimonio con dos hijos, y su estilo de vida, amigos, actividades, régimen alimentario (sangre de inmigrantes ilegales que guardan en su corral del jardín)…  así como los problemas que la adolescencia vampírica de los jóvenes provoca y el exilio que puede suponer el quebrar las estrictas reglas de su mundo.

En una época histórica en que el mundo de los vampiros en el cine está en un punto álgido y estos se edulcoran, se cargan de glamour y mágicos poderes, aquellos que nos dibuja Vincent Lannoo son mucho más mundanos, decadentes y autoparódicos, un contrapunto altamente interesante a las familias “crepusculares” chupasanges a los que estamos acostumbrados.

El falso documental pretende, a través de sus sobrenaturales protagonistas, realizar una ácida crítica social y pone en evidencia, con las aventuras de los no-muertos lo más bajo de los vivos, el ser humano, lo que le da una trascendencia más allá de la pura carcajada y entretenimiento.  

No obstante el conjunto no llega a convencer del todo, se queda a medio camino de la crítica, a medio camino de la parodia, a medio camino del drama, de la comedia… resulta, una vez visionada, interesante pero mucho menos arriesgada de lo que cabía esperar, y eso le pasa factura frente al tipo de espectador que enfrenta una película de estas características.

Southwest says no to Lesbians and baggy pants!

Leisha Hailey, a musician and television actor was thrown off her flight in El Paso, Texas, this week after she kissed her girlfriend and bandmate, Camila Grey, in the seat next to her.
A cabin crew member, apparently responding to a passenger complaint, told Hailey that Southwest was a "family airline" and asked her to stop. By the time Hailey and Grey had stopped swearing and cursing, they were back in the airport, waiting for the next flight.
Southwest later insisted the problem was the abusive language, not the kiss. "The conversation escalated to a level that was better resolved on the ground, as opposed to in flight," it said.
After days of incensed reaction from Hailey, her friends and the lesbian and gay community, however, Southwest backtracked, saying it was offering a full refund for the flight and had "reached out to extend goodwill" – a form of words that fell just short of an outright apology.

Earlier this month, the lead singer of Green Day, Billie Joe Armstrong, was escorted off another Southwest flight in California because he refused to pull up his sagging trousers when asked. "Don't you have better things to do than worry about that?" he retorted. The flight attendant responded: "Pull your pants up or you're getting off the plane."
Armstrong complained, loudly, after he and his companion were taken back to the airport, and Southwest ended up apologizing.
He was luckier than Deshon Marman, a college American football player who suffered his own baggy trouser incident on a US Airways flight in June. He ended up in handcuffs, under arrest and charged with trespassing, resisting arrest, and battery on a police officer. The charges were later dropped, and Marman is now suing the airline.

Kevin Smith, the film director was thrown off a flight, in February last year supposedly because he was too fat. Southwest, once again, offered "heartfelt apologies" but also said he had been removed "for the safety and comfort of all customers".

An app to tell if your son is gay??? SAY WHAT????


Hey moms, want to know if your son is gay? Well, there's an app for that! Now available on the Android market: An app that answers the question you wouldn't rather ask personally yourself: Are You Gay? q
For only $2.69, users can download " Is My Son Gay? " The app can tell you that in just 20 easy steps!
The app prompts users to answer 20 questions about their son, ranging from "Does he spend a long time in the bathroom?" to "Was he shy as a child?"
The answers you may receive are as follows: 
Your son is a normal young man: modern and concerned about taking care of himself assuming some feminine habits while maintaining his attraction to girls. However, he may have already had some homosexual experiences with his best friend. These things happen. It is more and more usual in these times to maximize pleasures without taboo.
"You do not have to worry you, your son is not gay. So there are chances for you to be grandmother with all the joys it brings."
"No need to look the other way! … He is gay! … ACCEPT IT! …"


What do the developers say about the app? Enmene-Moi, the group behind the test, told The Huffington Post that the app is not intended to be taken seriously and was actually created to promote a book.
"This app was conceived with a playful approach," they responded. "It is not based at all on scientific research … Through humor, "Is My Son Gay?" and the forthcoming novel have the sole objective of toning down/improving the situation and helping mothers to accept their sons' homosexuality."

How many mothers are really going to download this app? UM....well maybe a few of those uptight moms would. And I doubt they would accept their childrens homosexuality based on an APP!!!

Casey on verge of Mental Breakdown!

The National Enquirer is reporting that Casey Anthony is on the verge of a nervous breakdown and could be headed to a mental hospital if things do not change. Apparently in her therapy sessions she has been exhibiting multiple personality disorder. Cindy and George mentioned seizures on Dr. Phil and Jesse Grund even mentioned them.
With Florida trying to get $200K from Casey, she is going to be left with no choice but to write a book or hit the talk show circuit or something to raise cash.
Honestly I was thinking about this earlier today and I thought to myself that maybe the Not-Guilty verdict was perfect and just what she needed. What better revenge are we all getting knowing that if she goes to Walmart, as we all know happened, she will get recognized and be taken out the back by security and that she really can't do anything but stay in her secluded house watching The View and Googling herself all day. C'mon we all know that's what she does.
This is perfect. She is in her own personal HELL! She wanted to be free which is why she killed Caylee and now look at her! What type of life is that!? Who wouldn't go crazy knowing they can't go outside to shop for clothes or food and they can't work to make money for all the bills coming her way!? Would she risked getting killed just for a chance of sanity. ......Yeah, she would, CAUSE SHE'S CRAZY so prepare yourselves to hear about another sighting in Tallahassee soon.

Sirena (Siren)

Valoración: 6/10



Desde Gran Bretaña y firmada por el director Andrew Hull (quien a su vez realiza en colaboración con Geoffrey Gunn el guión de la película) llega esta producción de cine de terror, ficción mitológica que busca en el terror psicológico la inquietud del espectador.

El film, protagonizado por Eoin Macken, Anna Skellern, Tereza Srbova, y Anthony Jabre, nos cuenta la historia de tres amigos (Ken, su novia Rachel y su amigo Marco, un experto navegante) que se encuentran realizando una idílica travesía en barco hasta que una señal de socorro originada en una isla supuestamente desierta rompe la paz, y no dudan en desviar su rumbo para atender la misteriosa llamada. Entra en juego entonces una extraña figura en juego, una seductora y hermosa mujer que no sabe quién es, ni cómo ha llegado hasta ese inhóspito lugar… el misterio está servido.

“Siren” se nutre de unos muy vistosos exteriores, unas interpretaciones aceptables, una fotografía cuidada y un guión a ratos intenso, a ratos tramposo. Todos estos elementos hilan una película de atmósfera, cuyo factor “terror” campa en el terreno de lo psicológico más que en lo visual, ataca a los miedos más primarios y mantiene conjeturando al espectador a lo largo de todo su metraje. No es un film de terror al uso, con lo que no es recomendable para todos los paladares, sólo para aquellos que gusten de propuestas que obliguen a su visión con una mínima parte de las neuronas en activo y dispuestos a encajar piezas de un puzzle dudoso.  Interesante.

Peta could care less about victims of sharks

Animal rights group PETA doesn't have much sympathy for the spear fisherman attacked by a shark this weekend. Their publicity-stunt plan: billboards and bus-bench signs on Anna Maria Island showing a shark biting a human leg with the slogan, "Payback is Hell. Go Vegan."
People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals abandoned plans for similar ads in 2001 after a series of shark attacks on the East Coast.
Longboat Key resident Charles Wickersham, 21, was spearfishing in the Gulf of Mexico off Anna Maria Island on Saturday when a bull shark bit his leg, tearing back enough flesh to expose his thigh bone. He had surgery Monday and his family expects he will return home in about 10 days, said his sister, Kristi Wickersham.
"We're glad that Mr. Wickersham is going to be OK," said PETA spokeswoman Ashley Byrne. "But we do hope that after this painful and frightening experience he will consider the terror and pain fish feel when they are impaled and suffocated to death. Maybe he will consider taking up another pastime."
The Wickershams could not be reached Tuesday.
PETA does take things to the extremes sometimes! They just need to back it up a little on their advertising tactics.

 CAPITULO 4


JANE

La lluvia precipitándose con más fuerza cada vez, restando visibilidad a una noche sin luna.
Recorro nerviosa calles desiertas intentando recordar... Mi corazón late más apresurado con cada nueva esquina que cruzo.
Una intensa punzada de dolor atraviesa mi cabeza en forma de imagen, y otra, y otra más. Me clavo con un grito ahogado en el sitio…Y de repente todo se clarifica, como piezas de puzzle encajando unas con otras a la perfección, recomponiendo una noche espeluznante a la par que increíblemente sensual.
Acaricio mis labios empapados, al igual que mi pelo, mi cara, mi ropa... El frío me cala hasta los huesos mientras las imágenes siguen sucediéndose…

Jadeo turbada al recrear con dramático realismo a una inconsciente Marissa siendo atacada por…dios que eran? Vampiros? Pero qué..? cómo…?

Súbitamente una corriente eléctrica recorre mi cuerpo presintiendo la magnética energía de… ÉL… al final de la manzana…
Alzo la mirada cuando el poderoso rugido de una moto derrapa con una brusca frenada justo frente a mí. Sus ojos de un azul cobalto arrebatador me atraviesan el alma…
Incapaz de moverme o de articular palabra, me limito a contemplarlo embelesada…

Vestido de cuero negro, con la tela apretada a un cuerpo hecho para pecar y su oscura melena empapada, pegada a su nuca.
Se relame los labios salpicados de lluvia, carnosos y absolutamente tentadores, esculpidos en un rostro anguloso casi perfecto..

Trago saliva y un tímido “hola” se escapa de mi boca entreabierta y reseca, me siento un poco estúpida ante la simplicidad de la frase, pero mi mente es incapaz de conjugar nada más complejo.

Descabalga elegantemente la moto acercándose como un depredador al acecho, metro noventa de puro poder deteniéndose a tan solo unos peligrosos centímetros de mi..
Temblando de pies a cabeza me entierro en su pecho aceptando la invitación de sus brazos, que me acercan a él cuando tira suavemente de mi sujetando una de mis muñecas con su mano.

-ssshhhh… susurra con la nariz pegada a mi oído..

Ice Cream costume =Nazi?

The Ice Cream Family Corner and Sandwiches, run by a normal Puerto Rican family, opened just three months ago in Ocala, Florida and is already causing controversy! They use an old ice cream costume, found in the closet of the building where they are located, as a way to bring attention to the restaurant.  Well this costume is causing issues because some people think it resembles a KKK outfit.




People started writing about the resemblance on Facebook and workers at the restaurant noticed a drop in customers.  The family claims they didn't know about the KKK until recently when all of the scandal started.  They have since stopped using the costume and apologized for any trouble it may have caused.



Without sprinkles please!
Some customers said they could see how people would be confused since the person outside often held a sign covering part of the costume.  Um....Call me crazy but I don't remember the KKK having colorful balls on their heads.

The Caller

Valoración: 6/10


El director Matthew Parkhill (“El punto sobre la i”) firma esta coproducción del Reino Unido y Puerto Rico, una historia de terror psicológico y sobrenatural cuyo guión viene realizado por Sergio Casci.

“The Caller” tiene como protagonistas,  a dos conocidas estrellas del panorama cinematográfico-vampírico de los últimos tiempos, Rachelle Lefevre, quien diera vida al papel de Victoria en la saga “Crepúsculo” y Stephen Moyer, el vampiro Bill de la exitosa serie “True Blood”.

La película nos narra la historia de Mary Kee, una joven en plenos trámites de un incómodo divorcio (con pelea por el perro de la pareja y órdenes de alejamiento violadas por el medio) que se traslada a un nuevo piso a vivir. En él encontrará un antiguo teléfono que no tardará en sonar para ponerle en contacto con una misteriosa mujer.  
Mary no tardará en conocer al profesor Guido, que le ayudará a desentramar aquello que se oculta tras las siniestras llamadas que parecen originarse en el mismo lugar, pero décadas atrás, y con bien oscuras intenciones…

“The Caller” es una película modesta, pequeña, pero efectiva. El desasosegante ambiente que genera con su fotografía, ambientación musical e interpretaciones de los secundarios introduce al espectador en la historia, en el claustrofóbico espacio donde mayormente transcurre la acción. El rocambolesco guión, el papel de sus protagonistas (una notable Rachelle L. y un correcto mas plano Stephen M.) y el ritmo de la trama hacen el resto y mantienen al espectador en continua atención y entretenimiento intentando esclarecer los enigmas.

Interesante para pasar el rato sin grandes pretensiones

Michael Jackson death photo


It seems the prosecution wanted to give the Michael Jackson death photo a murky, gritty treatment before it was presented in court this morning -- because it was clearly touched up to look as daunting as possible.

It appears the photo is NOT the original pic -- because now it includes a tattered border, a morgue-esque green hue ... and the word "Homicide" printed over MJ's body in a grainy,

 CAPITULO 3

Me desvela el insistente timbre del teléfono, que obstinado no cesa en su empeño por taladrarme la 
 cabeza… claudico a la tercera llamada.. Deslizo los dedos por mi pelo, algo enmarañado y me muerdo el labio arqueando las cejas en señal de rendición.

-Mike..- Gruño con voz sombría. Aguanto estoicamente su sermón, merecido? Sí,  probablemente-

-Se puede saber qué has estado haciendo los últimos cuatro dias?, es que te has vuelto loco? Que coño te ha pasado? Creía que te habían capturado, joder!

Aparto el auricular de mi sensible oído entrecerrando mis ojos celestes.

-Mike vas a romperme los tímpanos -le respondo mordaz- he estado liado -murmuro con voz cansada…
La respuesta no le convence, pero se resigna a mi sentencia, con sabia prudencia..

- Buen chico.. mañana te llamo.. -Se despide con un escueto “cuídate”-
-         Mike?- silencio-

- Gracias..

– De nada jefe…

Desnudo, con las negras sabanas arrugadas, pegadas a mi cuerpo empapado en sudor.
Me permito unos minutos mas acostado, envuelto en mi familiar y reconfortante oscuridad, con mi sistema de defensa bloqueando el bombardeo de sensaciones que luchan por aflorar de nuevo en mi mente..
Algo en mi cambió en cuanto sus dulces ojos esmeralda se posaron llorosos sobre los míos por primera vez... y me hicieron perder el control, desatando al monstruo, que con tanto ahínco custodio… una humana venciendo mi humanidad.
Cuatro días… meneo la cabeza sintiéndome poco a poco volviendo a la realidad…mi estomago protesta furioso… necesito una ducha.
Mi instinto percibe el recién consumido crepúsculo.

– Persianas –
 La domótica obedece regalándome un espectáculo de rayos azotando las nubes..
Me deslizo silencioso como siempre al cuarto de baño.

Andares de depredador… un oído capaz de escuchar el aleteo de un buho, fuerza bruta capaz de partir un edificio en dos y una psique que dejaría en ridículo al mismísimo Hawking... pero eso sí... un apetito voraz… en todos los sentidos. Me sonrío irónico a mi mismo por mi disgregación mientras fluye el agua a presión sobre mi cuerpo electrizando mis células felices de retornar a la vida..

Con una reducida toalla enrollada a mis caderas, me preparo un nutrido desayuno que devoro sin casi respirar.

Mi ropa de cuero, mis armas, las llaves de la moto y un portazo.

Mi sensatez divaga entre mis deberes como cazador y mi reciente obsesión por Jane , en un pulso que incluso después de arrancar la BMW sigue sin vencedor.

La velocidad me concentra en la carrera que me lleva casi por instinto a las mismas libertinas calles, mientras las primeras gotas de lluvia salpican el frío asfalto..

El diluvio no propicia la concurrencia y las calles permanecen prácticamente vacías..
Un escalofrío sacude mi cuerpo y mis sentidos me alertan súbitamente de su cautivadora presencia. Freno impulsivamente derrapando la moto con un chirrido, y allí se encuentra ella, mojada de pies a cabeza, bellísima, y absolutamente perpleja cuando sus ojos perturban de nuevo los míos.

Opening Day in Michael Jackson trial

In the first day of the Conrad Murray trial, his defense team claimed Michael Jackson 'caused his own death'.
Murray has been accused of administering the lethal dose of the anaesthetic Propofol that killed Jackson on June 25 2009.



Attorney Ed Chernoff, in his opening statement said "During the 10 hours on June 25, 2009, while Michel Jackson was frustrated because he could not sleep, frustrated because his doctor refused to give him a drug that he preferred, that he wanted, he did an act without his doctor's knowledge, without his doctor's permission, against his orders - he did an act that caused his own death.
When Dr. Murray left the room, Michael Jackson self-administered a dose of Propofol that created a perfect storm in his body that killed him instantly. He died so rapidly, so instantly - he didn't even have time to close his eyes.
They said science will prove that Jackson did this to himself.

During their opening statement of the trial, the defence team claimed Murray had always been concerned about how much knowledge Michael had of Propofol and couldn't cope when Murray weaned him off it after two months.
Prosecutors insist that Murray used a makeshift intravenous drip to administer propofol, a practice they argue violated the standard of care and led to the pop star's death.
But Chernoff said Murray did not use a makeshift intravenous drip to administer the drug. Chernoff added that an expert on propofol will testify that Murray was not responsible for Jackson's death.
Kenny Ortega: Producer
-said he was shocked by Jackson's appearance when he arrived at a rehearsal, on June 19, less than a week before he died.
-"He appeared lost and a little incoherent. I did not feel he was well."
-said he gave the pop singer food and wrapped him in a blanket to ward off chill. Jackson watched the rehearsal and did not participate.
-helped Jackson prepare for the "This Is It" world tour scheduled for London's O2 Arena in 2009.

In an e-mail written early June 20, Ortega wrote, in part, to AEG president Randy Phillips, "My concern is, now that we've brought the Doctor in to the fold and have played the tough love, now or never card, is that the Artist may be unable to rise to the occasion due to real emotional stuff. He appeared quite week and fatigued this evening. He had a terrible case of the chills, was trembling, rambling and obsessing. Everything in me says he should be psychologically evaluated. If we have any chance at all to get him back in the light. It's going to take a strong Therapist to (get) him through this as well as immediate physical nurturing. ... Tonight I was feeding him, wrapping him in blankets to warm his chills, massaging his feet to calm him and calling his doctor.
"I believe that he really wants this ... it would shatter him, break his heart if we pulled the plug," Ortega wrote. "He's terribly frightened it's all going to go away. He asked me repeatedly tonight if I was going to leave him. He was practically begging for my confidence. It broke my heart. He was like a lost boy. There still may be a chance he can rise to the occasion if get him the help he needs."
-said Murray was unhappy that Jackson did not rehearse and told him not to try to be the singer's physician
-Jackson insisted the next day he was capable of doing the rehearsals.


Evidence that was entered to the court was a recording of Jackson talking while drugged and his post-mortem picture on a stretcher.
Michael's brother Jermaine and sister Janet held hands across sister Rebbe's lap in court, while his mother, Katherine, was tearful.
If found guilty, Murray faces four years in jail.

Judge delays welfare drug ruling

A federal judge decided to take more time before ruling on whether to grant an injunction to a man challenging a Florida law that requires state welfare applicants to be drug-tested before receiving assistance.
Judge Mary Scriven also gave attorneys for the Florida Department of Children & Families a 14-day extension Monday to challenge a motion on whether Luis Lebron's lawsuit can represent all Florida welfare applicants.
A 35-year-old Navy veteran and father of a 4-year-old son, Lebron applied to Florida's Temporary Assistance for Needy Families this year. He met the program's eligibility requirements but was denied assistance after he refused to take the drug test as required by a law that took effect in July. He then sued DCF.
"I feel I have served my country and served my Constitution," Lebron said. "I just want it to serve me."
The Florida American Civil Liberties Union says Lebron and other welfare applicants are being forced to forfeit their constitutional right against unreasonable search and seizure by submitting to the drug testing. They argued that the program has been in existence since 1996 and never required the test before.
DCF, which oversees the program, has tested 1,500 to 2,000 recipients since mid-July. About 2.5 percent tested positive and about 2 percent declined to take the test, state officials said.
I don't understand what the problem is with this program. If you really need assistance and you're not on drugs then so be it! Take the damn test! If you are taking drugs, then how about stop spending money on that and pay some rent! Deal with it!

Sex offender village planned in Florida

Barbara Farris, a self proclaimed ex offender vigilante is planning a nice community for sexual offenders! The village would start with 288 predators and offenders in a leased facility, but could expand to 1,100 on 500 acres.

She hopes that this will keep offenders that she has been fighting against, away from children. "They have an atmosphere where they're not looking out their window at kids in a park, not a mile away from your school," said Farris. The village would house, monitor, counsel, help them find a job, and give them transportation.
Parents are not happy about this and I don't blame them! "Honestly, I wanted to cry. I was absolutely furious.  This can't happen to our neighborhood," said one mother.
A Facebook page and a petition is online to stop this village from happening. "There's kids everywhere and they just don't need to be around any sex offenders, much less a large quantity of them."

Farris' response? "I'm sure they're outraged and I can understand, but I'm an advocate for children. I'm not trying to put any children in danger. They're far enough out that they're going to be monitored." Florida is not the only state that should be worried about this. Farris has other plans to open more of these communities throughout the United States!



What do you guys think? What should be done with Sex offenders? Personally , I believe that they should be in jail for life. But seeing as the law doesn't work that way, what should be done about these sick individuals?
