    ^^ Matrix Jump.

     

    One of the things that everyone remembers about the Matrix is the way Trinity (Carrie-Anne Moss) leapt into the air and did that incredible jump. Well, it's possible for an everyday-Joe to do the Matrix jump, even without wires. It's a little more challenging, but boy, is it cool.

     

    Explained with text:

     

    1. Start by learning to do a Matrix jump on a trampoline. The trampoline is a good platform for his kind of jump as it allows you a little more air time than if you were to jump from the ground.

     

    2. Have someone nearby to spot you should you have an accident. The Matrix jump is a difficult jump to do, and unlike Carrie-Anne Moss, you're going to be doing this without the help of wires, and you won't have all those nifty pads she had to land on.

     

    3. Jump as high into the air as you can manage, and try to form a triangle with your legs by bending your knees while touching the soles of your feet together. The trick is keeping your knees open to the side, just like toddlers do when they're beginning to walk, or cowboys who have spent far too many hours in the saddle.

     

    4. Extend your arms up and to the sides. Carrie-Anne Moss held her arms like a ballet dancer when she did the Matrix jump: elbows slightly bent, palms down and fingers extended.

     

    5. Kick one leg forward while you're still up in the air, and point your toe. Keep the other leg up with the knee bent as you do the Matrix jump.

     

    6. Land on both feet when you finish doing the Matrix jump. As you'll discover, the success of the Matrix jump is timing: holding the triangle pose for as long as you can while still finding the right moment to kick out that leg while still landing on both feet when you finish the jump. The Matrix jump takes a lot of practice.

     

    7. Try doing the Matrix jump on regular ground. You'll have to take into account the rigidity of the ground and the fact that it won't give as obligingly as trampoline when you jump on it. With enough practice, you'll be able to do the Matrix jump from any surface—even from inclines. But whatever you do, try to be sensible, and never forget you'll be doing the Matrix jump without the benefit of wires that'll catch you before you fall.


  2. Comment on IMDB

    No doubt that "Defiance" is a very inspiring movie. Set during the winter of 1941-42, just after Nazi Germany has attacked the Soviet Union, the movie follows the exploits of the 3 Bielski brothers, who watched their father be murdered by German troops and escape into the forest, only to end up becoming a rallying point and leaders for other displaced Jews. The movie portrays rivalries among the brothers themselves, rivalries within the group of Jews they're leading, difficulties in dealing with the Soviet troops, who should be their allies, as well as the hardships of dealing with hunger, cold and illness. Ultimately it leads to a pretty good climactic fight against Nazi troops. Yet, for all that I can't say it's great.

     

    I've seen better and more inspiring Holocaust-inspired movies: think "Schindler's List," "The Grey Zone," and even the fictional "Jakob the Liar." Although the last half hour or so, leading up to the confrontation with the Germans, was quite good, I thought the movie was inconsistent up to that point. It lacked flow, and failed completely to draw me in tightly to the story. If it's at all accurate (and I'm not at all familiar with the events on which it's supposed to be based) then it certainly is a story that deserves to be told, but in truth I can't give it higher than a 6/10.

    Well, for me all the films, Fast & Furious are very exsiting and they are with action. I have watched all series of the films Fast & Furios. They are four. But this film I have not watched yet. I want to take some time and download this film.

    Comment on IMDB:

     

    Fast...but not so Furious

     

    The fourth film in the series, Fast & Furious is full of action but misses the mark once again. In my opinion, the film is much better than the previous two, as the original cast including Paul Walker, Vin Diesel, Jordana Brewster, and Michelle Rodriquez return. However, something has not returned from the original and that is the CARS. I could count the number of cars that interested me on one hand, and that is not a good thing. And once again, Paul Walker is driving a skyline and Vin Diesel is driving his American muscle. Come on where is the new stuff? Walker is an FBI agent and Diesel is his typical outlaw self. Both work together in bringing down one of the most powerful drug dealers in the country and they do a great job. The movie is full of action, with multiple entertaining action scenes. But what is missing are the most important factors of a Fast and Furious movie: street racing, tuners, and a plot people can actually relate with. The first film was so popular because, although it was a box office movie, it was full of real people and their actual cars. Fast and Furious 4 is too unrealistic with too much CGI...the director should have gone back to the roots of street racing.


    Can somebody suggest me, is this film really exsiting and with very action like the other series of Fast & Furious? (Somebody who has watched this film, already)

  4. Fair Enought :) Messi is playing better than Cristiano Ronaldo, 'cos he's soooo bad player, he's faiker, he's falling down alone, he's not a player, he's actor:@

    Yeah you are right something. I don't really like C.Ronaldo. But he give goals and that is the most important thing in the football. The next football season he will play for Real Madrid, my favourite football team... For that I don't hate him anymore.

    Jim Carrey is my favourite comedy actor. I think that he knows how to people make joke. :) He is the funniest commedy film actor that I've ever seen on films. For me, nobody has that talent. I have watched all his films. He is very cool and really, really funny. :D

     

    Yes Man is a 2008 American comedy film directed by Peyton Reed, written by Nicholas Stoller, Jarrad Paul and Andrew Mogel and starring Jim Carrey, Zooey Deschanel, Terence Stamp, Bradley Cooper and Rhys Darby. The film is based loosely on the true story and 2005 book Yes Man by British humourist Danny Wallace (who has a cameo appearance in the film).

     

    The film was a box office success despite receiving mixed reviews from critics. It was released on December 19, 2008, opening at #1 at the box office in its first weekend with $18.3 million and was then released on December 26, 2008 in the United Kingdom going straight to the top of the box office in its first weekend after release. To date, the film has taken in more than $230 million worldwide, surpassing Carrey's previous comedy Fun with *BLEEP* and Jane, but falling short of his 2003 film Bruce Almighty. Production for the film began in October 2007 in Los Angeles, CA.

     

     

     

     

    Plot

     

    Los Angeles bank employee Carl Allen (Jim Carrey) has become withdrawn and depressed since his divorce from his wife Stephanie (Molly Sims). Routinely ignoring his friends, he has grown used to spending his spare time watching DVDs alone in his apartment and his outlook on life has become inherently negative. But when an old friend (John Michael Higgins) persuades him to attend the "Yes!" self-improvement seminar, stern motivational guru Terrence Bundley (Terence Stamp) publicly browbeats him into making a covenant with himself. Carl reluctantly promises to stop being a "No Man" and vows to answer "Yes!" to every opportunity, request or invitation that presents itself thereafter.

     

    After the seminar, saying "yes" to a homeless man's requests only leaves Carl stranded in Elysian Park with his phone battery dead, no money, and his gas tank empty. Disillusioned, he hikes to a gas station, cursing himself for being so credulous and gullible. But at the gas station he meets Allison (Zooey Deschanel), an eccentric young woman who is refueling her scooter. She gives him a hair-raising ride back to his car, and spontaneously kisses him before she rides off.

     

    After this experience, Carl adopts a positive mentality and seizes every opportunity that comes his way. He takes flying lessons, receives oral sex from his elderly neighbor (albeit reluctantly) after an incident that occurs when he says no to it, attends Korean language classes, learns to play the guitar, and even joins a Persian dating website after he receives a pop-up on one of his computer. Saying "yes" constantly works to Carl's advantage. After accepting concert tickets from a promoter whom he has previously ignored, he sees an idiosyncratic band whose lead singer turns out to be Allison. He is charmed by her quirkiness; she is charmed by his spontaneity; and the two begin dating. He earns a promotion at work after his many approved loans open new territory for the bank in the area of microcredit. Making use of his guitar lessons, he wins public acclaim by playing Third Eye Blind's song "Jumper" to persuade a man (Luis Guzman) not to commit suicide by jumping off a ledge.

     

    As their relationship blossoms, Carl and Allison meet at the airport for a spontaneous weekend excursion. Having decided to take the first plane out of town, no matter where its destination, they end up in Lincoln, Nebraska, where they explore the Frank H. Woods Telephone Museum, attend a college football game, and go skeet shooting. As they shelter from the rain in an isolated barn, Allison asks Carl to move in with her and he hesitantly agrees. But while checking in for the return flight, Carl is detained by FBI agents, who have profiled him as a potential terrorist because he has taken flying lessons, studied Korean, approved a loan to a fertilizer company, met an Iranian mail-order bride, and bought plane tickets at the last minute to a destination that they believe to be an unlikely holiday destination.

     

    Carl's lawyer and best friend Pete travels to Nebraska to explain Carl's odd habits, lessons, and decisions. As Allison finds out about Carl's motivational covenant, she begins to doubt whether his commitment to her was ever sincere. Deciding that she can no longer trust a man who is obliged always to respond in the affirmative, regardless of his true feelings, she leaves Carl at the airport after the officer unlocks her handcuffs.

     

    Soon afterward, Carl receives a tearful phone call from his ex-wife whose new partner has walked out on her. When Carl goes to Stephanie's apartment to comfort her, she kisses him passionately and asks whether they can get back together. After Carl emphatically says "no," his luck again takes a turn for the worse. The elevator in which he tries to leave Stephanie's building almost snaps free of its cable, a black cat crosses his path, and his car gets clamped and towed.

     

    In desperation, Carl goes to the convention center where the "Yes!" seminar is held, and hides in the backseat of Bundley's convertible so that he can beg to be released from the covenant. Carl emerges as Bundley drives off, startling him to run a red light and collide with an oncoming vehicle. The two are taken to hospital. After Carl recovers consciousness, Bundley informs Carl that there was no "covenant." The point was merely to open Carl's mind to other possibilities, but not to take away his ability to say "no" if he needed to.

     

    Freed from this restraint, Carl leaves the hospital on a Ducati motorcycle, wearing only a hospital gown. He finds Allison and admits that he does not want to move in with her just yet, but tells her that she inspired him, and genuinely loves and wants her and has not been with her just because he has been compelled to say "yes". The couple share a few kisses, occasionally interrupted by another photographer snapping pics.

     

    At the end of the movie, Carl and Allison are seen donating a truckload of clothes to a local homeless shelter. Cutting to the scene of the "Yes!" seminar, Bundley is seen walking onstage to several hundred naked audience members. It is implied that the participants have said "Yes!" to donating their clothes to charity.

     

    After some credits, a scene shows Carl and Allison on a long stretch of winding highway. Carl has agreed to test the product of one of the people whom he gave a loan. Both are wearing a full body suit with wheels on the elbows, calves, heels, feet, back, and various other strategically placed body parts, which is what the man invented for better extreme sports. They both "skate" all the way down the highway.

    And, people what do you think about Jim Carrey like comedy actor, and this film?


  6. The problem I have with Google adsense, is that I need to 18 years old, something I am not. I have heard that many people think that is the best way, but when I can't use it... well, it gets kind of hard. There are many people that try to earn money online, but never earn much. My point is that it is hard to earn money online. And you need to keep your website up and running, so people keep visiting your site. Complicated world. :)

    Yes, and I am under 18 years. When I try to send them notification to give me google adsense banners. They reply me that the experts thinks that I don't need to have adsense banners on my site. :D I don't really know what is the problem. But it's ok, I use adbrite.
