rap vs rock

I was just noticing how in middle school the biggest cliques in school was due to music.But lately i have noticed that the two cliques have merged into one school.I think this is due to people broadening their horizons when it come to music.A couple years ago i was listening to hard core rap like biggie,2pac,and The Game.But then i started listening to soft rock such as Jack Johnson and Coldplay.I have since learned that both types of music are good in their own ways.So what types of music do you listen to and why?please comment.

Golded Glow Ledger and others

Heath Ledger has been nominated among others to recieve a coveted Golden Globe.His father released a statement saying that they were very grateful that he was being recognized.I think that this is great because heaths role in the Dark Knight was awesome.I also think that it was very honorable that the other nominees offered their condolences.There is no doubt that Ledgers death was a tragic blow to the industry but hopefully that wont sway the judges decision since his role was as good if not better then the others that are under consideration for the award.

Zero db initiative

The British law group Reprieve have been called upon to represent detainees of Guantaanamo Bay.They reported that the soldiers blast music at the dedtainees at unwarrented levels.According to them Eminem hold the top three songs with "Kim," "The Real Slim Shady" and "White America." Ome other artists include Dr.Dre,System of a Down, and Metallica.I think that a little music never hurt anyone but to use it as torture is not justified in any manner.These famous songs are like works of art and using them as torture may make the detainees not want to listen to the music ever again.

The Curious Case of Benjamin Button

This movie is very interesting and is getting tons of attention.Brad Pitts last role as an essentric gym employee I didnt find suits him.However his new role as an old man who grows younger I beleive will suit him just fine.The movie contains Brad Pitt and Cate Blanchett who are both Oscar winners should put this movie on the number one spot.The creator of this story is F. Scott Fitzgerald who has written The Great Gatsby also is a very talented writer and many are expecting great things from this movie.This is mainly due to how good the book was.The make-up and special effects in this movie are absolutely amazing if i may say myself and i canyt wait to see the movie.

Paul Benedict dead at 70

It was a sad day on monday in the entertainment industry.Paul Benedict who was an actor on The Jeffersons and the painter on Sesame Street died at the age of 70.He was the neighbor on the Jeffersons for over 10 years.He was found in Marthas Vinyard dead od no known cause but there is an autopsy underway.I never watched the Jeffersons before but have seen some clips and you could tell that Mr.Benedict loved what he was doing.I looked into his background and found out that he was a director as well and had gone to acting school to pursue his dream of acting in theater.I wish his family well and hope he will be remembered for some time.

The holiday season movies


Evey holiday season many movies come about which are mostly funny and amusing.Some of the movies that are comming out this season are Four Christmas's and Nothing Like the Holidays.These movies are created to put people in the holiday spirit and do a good job of it.Last year the hit Christmas movie Fred Clause closed out at 18.5 million dollars.I was wondering why producers create these movies if they dont bring in alot of money.Is it that the producers do it to put people in the holiday mood or to make money?
