I saw the water come, and, at first, it didn’t feel that bad. But after a few seconds, the water come very strong, so I hold my daughters, grabbed the babysitter to head towards the hotel. After just a few steps, the water come to my chest. When I turned back and looked, the swimming pool, gone. The hotel disappeared. So. I’m standing there with my two daughters and the babysitter seeing nothing but ocean

Return Of The Sith
It would be unfair of me to spoil the fun by revealing any further details, as it’d be best to arrive uninformed and sit with baited breath for each successive revelation. As for the technological wizardry, Lucas has outdone himself in this regard, from battle sequences to molten rivers to hyperbolic spaceships to futuristic skylines to haunting holograms and beyond, all pulled off with a seamless interface of the real with the computer-generated.
Mad Hot Ballroom
Representing a veritable rainbow of the cultures to be found around the city, these aspiring hoofers are seemingly oblivious to their ethnic, color and religious differences of their assigned partners, instead focusing intently on learning precisely what is needed to prevail in the much-anticipated annual competition.
African Filmmakers’ Award
When one is studying about Egypt, it is through the Far East or Oriental Studies’ Department but not as part of the African Studies Department, thus presented in a way that implies Egypt is outside of Africa, which it is not. The perception about Egypt oftentimes is that it is part of sub Sahara Africa rather than North Africa. One of the reasons I chose to write about Egypt was to clear up those misconceptions and to showcase the grandeur of Egypt. I also wanted to inform people that Egyptians were, and continue to be, people of color.
The Massacre – 50 Cent
Although the CD is a bit lengthy, a good twenty-two tracks, 50, makes up by mixing different styles, old school and thematic pieces like Gatman And Robbin. 50 also succeeds in instilling the music with humor and a good amount of sexual appeal. It is definitely sexier than his debut, and a lot more honest about the artist he intends to be. My only concern is that the line between fiction and reality could easily become blurred, so far as his gangster image is concerned.
Alfre Woodard: Beauty Shop
Woodard has also won seven NAACP Image Awards, a couple of Screen Actor’s Guild Awards, a Golden Globe and a Cable Ace Award over the course of her illustrious career. Plus, she was once named one of People Magazine’s Most Beautiful People. Alfre resides in L.A. with her husband, Roderick Spencer, who teaches directing and screenwriting at Emerson College, and with their two children, Mavis and Duncan. In her latest endeavor, Beauty Shop, she plays Ms. Josephine, one of the colorful regulars found at Queen Latifah’s neighborhood salon.
African Diaspora Film
The Tracker–though set in the Australian Outback in 1922, this multi-layered melodrama looks more like a typical cowboy adventure out of the Wild, Wild West. A woman has been brutally murdered and the killer is wanted dead or alive. The authorities deputize a posse to track him down in the desert. But what, at first, appears to be an ordinary tale of frontier justice, the one where the good guy gunslingers get their man and ride off into the sunset, turns into a much more complicated affair after it comes out that the victim is white and the prime suspect is an aborigine.
The Nomi Song
The Nomi Song also contains interviews with Klaus’ contemporaries, handlers and hangers-on, though they seem to know precious little about the otherworldly icon. This only serves to enhances the mystery surrounding an entertaining alien who arrived and departed way ahead of his time. I’d be curious to see how Klaus would fare on American Idol, though I suspect that Simon Cowell would gong him in less than 30 seconds. Yet, undeniably Herr Nomi had a certain something some people of Earth apparently appreciated.
New Laptops: The First of Two Waves
In PC deployments, I’m seeing a strong push to move from desktop to mobile, with some roll-outs jumping from 30 percent mobile to 60 percent midway through, suggesting a huge push to allow people to work wherever they are. The new products are, across the board, more secure, more reliable and more attractive then the products that came before.
Let The Telecom Consolidation Begin
Local and long-distance telephone service, forced apart by the government 20 years ago to create competition, are rushing back together by way of corporate mergers.
