<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p><a style="text-decoration:none;" href="http://planetofthenerds.wordpress.com/files/2009/11/bad_lieutenant_poster.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-1814" title="bad_lieutenant_poster" src="http://planetofthenerds.wordpress.com/files/2009/11/bad_lieutenant_poster.jpg" alt="" width="450" height="555" /></a></p>
<p>WARNING! MINOR SPOILERS AHEAD!</p>
<p>Once in a great while, a movie comes along that is so insane, so crazy, so completely out of its mind wild, that you almost can&#8217;t believe what you are seeing. BAD LIEUTENANT: PORT OF CALL NEW ORLEANS (or THE BAD LIEUTENANT PORT OF CALL: NEW ORLEANS as it&#8217;s written in the opening title) is that movie! It&#8217;s the most delightfully cracked out movie about a crazed drug addict policeman I&#8217;ve ever seen in my life. It is not one of those so-bad-it&#8217;s-good movies at all. This movie is the result of some very talented artists getting together and having a great deal of fun making a really cool, weird, funny and surreal cop movie.</p>
<p>I don&#8217;t know if this is an actual <em>remake</em> of ABEL FERRARA&#8217;S brilliant 1992 BAD LIEUTENANT, which is an agonizingly hellish character study of an out of control cop, that is played with amazing intensity by HARVEY KEITEL. There are several similarities in both the plot structure and character details, but this new BAD LIEUTENANT is a much different beast altogether. The original was much more serious and there was very little sympathy for the protagonist, who wasn&#8217;t even given a name, but referred to only as The Lieutenant in the end credits.</p>
<p>The new BAD LIEUTENANT is named Terence McDonagh and is played with comic exuberance by NICOLAS CAGE, who hasn&#8217;t been this awesome since LEAVING LAS VEGAS. His career of late has been spotty to say the least, with a few great movies like ADAPTATION and LORD OF WAR, mixed in with a lot of big budget action fluff. It&#8217;s been awhile since he&#8217;s really cut loose in a role and he tears this movie up with his energy. This is the CAGE of VAMPIRE&#8217;S KISS and RAISING ARIZONA. The manic, funny and inventive CAGE who makes the most out of each take. His character is a man addicted to crack, coke, heroin, vicodin, gambling and sex, who abuses his power at every opportunity he gets, and yet he&#8217;s a very likable guy. Even though his methods are totally crazy and completely unpredictable, he&#8217;s a really good detective and he gets results, as he breaks every law imaginable in the process. CAGE&#8217;S performance is a tour de force! He should get 10 Oscars!</p>

Those old ladies deserve it, trust me.</p></div>
<p>How this movie came together is beyond me. I can&#8217;t imagine there&#8217;s been a clamoring for a BAD LIEUTENANT revisit over the 17 years since the first. When I first read that WERNER HERZOG was directing a remake, I thought &#8220;The legendary German filmmaker responsible for FITZCARRALDO, NOSFERATU, GRIZZLY MAN and RESCUE DAWN wants to do a reboot of BAD LIEUTENANT? Huh?&#8221; It&#8217;s an odd choice indeed, but HERZOG <em>is</em> an odd director and he has made a very odd film and I&#8217;m so glad of that. <em>His </em>BAD LIEUTENANT is given humanity right off the bat, where with the original you really have to search for something to feel sympathetic for.</p>
<div id="attachment_1819" class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 460px"><a href="http://planetofthenerds.wordpress.com/files/2009/11/bad-lieutenant-port-of-call-new-orleans-movie-image-nicolas-cage-and-werner-herzog.jpg"><img class="size-full wp-image-1819" title="Bad Lieutenant Port of Call New Orleans movie image Nicolas Cage and WERNER HERZOG" src="http://planetofthenerds.wordpress.com/files/2009/11/bad-lieutenant-port-of-call-new-orleans-movie-image-nicolas-cage-and-werner-herzog.jpg" alt="" width="450" height="658" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">NICOLAS CAGE and WERNER HERZOG must have had a blast making this movie.</p></div>
<p>The film starts off in the aftermath of hurricane Katrina in New Orleans, with detective Terence McDonagh (CAGE) and his colleague (VAL KILMER) emptying out a fellow officer&#8217;s locker. They come across a criminal still locked in a flooding cell and in an act of heroism, McDonagh jumps in to save him, injuring his back in the process. He is prescribed vicodin by a doctor and when we see him a year later, he&#8217;s become a full blown addict who&#8217;s graduated to crack, coke and heroin. He also has a bad gambling problem that gets his bookie (BRAD DOURIF) a bit testy.</p>
<p>When he&#8217;s put in charge of an investigation to find whoever was responsible for a drug related multiple homicide (in the original it was a case involving the rape of a nun), he throws himself fully into the assignment. The movie then swings back and forth between CAGE&#8217;S working the case and engaging in his own criminal activities. One scene he&#8217;s interviewing a suspect and gathering clues, the next he&#8217;s robbing drugs from a young couple of club goers and forcing the guy to watch him fuck his girlfriend.</p>
<p>EVA MENDES is great as the BAD LIEUTENANT&#8217;S  hooker girlfriend. Despite the fact that their relationship is based on doing drugs together and ripping off her johns, they actually have a few very tender scenes together. There&#8217;s a moment they share concerning a hidden silver spoon that&#8217;s downright heartwarming. No shit!</p>
<p>FAIRUZA BALK shows up as a corrupt traffic cop with some really nice boots and BRAD DOURIF is typically terrific as CAGE&#8217;S bookie, whom unlike his character&#8217;s counterpart in the original, joins the rest of us in falling for the BAD LIEUTENANT&#8217;S charm. Also, the rapper XZIBIT turns out a really well executed performance as Big Fate the gangster. He too, is a totally likable scumbag.</p>
<div id="attachment_1820" class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 460px"><a href="http://planetofthenerds.wordpress.com/files/2009/11/1105930_bad_lieutenant_port_of_call_new_orleans_1.jpg"><img class="size-full wp-image-1820" title="1105930_Bad_Lieutenant_Port_of_Call_New_Orleans_1" src="http://planetofthenerds.wordpress.com/files/2009/11/1105930_bad_lieutenant_port_of_call_new_orleans_1.jpg" alt="" width="450" height="299" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">EVA MENDES as the BAD LIEUTENANT&#39;S girlfriend.</p></div>
<div id="attachment_1821" class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 460px"><a href="http://planetofthenerds.wordpress.com/files/2009/11/bad-lieutenant-port-of-call-new-orleans.jpg"><img class="size-full wp-image-1821" title="bad-lieutenant-port-of-call-new-orleans" src="http://planetofthenerds.wordpress.com/files/2009/11/bad-lieutenant-port-of-call-new-orleans.jpg" alt="&#34;Shoot him again, his soul is still dancing.&#34;" width="450" height="316" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">&#34;Shoot him again, his soul&#39;s still dancing!&#34;</p></div>
<p>There are individual scenes in the new BAD LIEUTENANT that are sheer brilliance. One of my favorites involves a crack hallucination CAGE has involving two iguanas, that&#8217;s set to an old blues tune. The scene just keeps playing out,  supremely confident in its own complete absurdity and I couldn&#8217;t stop laughing.</p>
<p>Another one involves a group of gangsters being shot down. CAGE, in the midst of another drug delusion, exclaims to the killers, &#8220;Shoot him again, his soul is still dancing!&#8221; The camera then pans over to someone dressed like the fallen gangster, breakdancing in the middle of the room. It&#8217;s fucking AMAZING!</p>
<p>The film was written by WILLIAM FINKELSTEIN and I&#8217;m curious if it was his intention to pattern it after the original BAD LIEUTENANT, or if it was an original idea and the marketing department attached it to the FERRARA film. There are a few similarities in the plot, but overall this is a far different film and stands on its own as a great piece of cop noir. FINKELSTEIN&#8217;S previous work as a television writer for NYPD BLUE, LAW &#38; ORDER, L.A. LAW and COP ROCK have served him well and he has written a truly unique and funny film.</p>
<p>WERNER HERZOG&#8217;S direction is probably what sends this movie sailing over the fence the most. His attachment alone is what takes this film from being a simple cop thriller and turns it into an art-house masterpiece. It&#8217;s his genius in taking such care with the little moments, (like CAGE reading a child&#8217;s poem about a fish) that make this a much more enjoyable BAD LIEUTENANT than we&#8217;ve previously seen. Not that ABEL FERRARA&#8217;S film is any less great or powerful, it&#8217;s just a different sensibility with the exact same subject.</p>
<p>Which is why I&#8217;d like to see a BAD LIEUTENANT franchise develop out of this. My pitch is this: each new film is the exact same formula &#8211; drugged up Lieutenant tries to solve a case he&#8217;s assigned while on a self destructive gambling and crack binge. It&#8217;s a different city, director and lead actor each time. A franchise that continues to remake and take a new spin at the same storyline. I think that would be cool. BAD LIEUTENANT: LOS ANGELES directed by DAVID LYNCH and starring ROBERT DOWNEY JR.; BAD LIEUTENANT: DALLAS directed by the COEN BROTHERS and starring MATT DILLON; BAD LIEUTENANT: PARIS directed by ROMAN POLANSKI and starring GERARD DEPARDIEU; and BAD LIEUTENANT: MIAMI directed by LARS VON TRIER and starring DON JOHNSON (now that would be REALLY crazy!).</p>
<p><a href="http://planetofthenerds.wordpress.com/files/2009/11/bad_lieutenant_port_of_call_new_orleans_ver2.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-1822" title="bad_lieutenant_port_of_call_new_orleans_ver2" src="http://planetofthenerds.wordpress.com/files/2009/11/bad_lieutenant_port_of_call_new_orleans_ver2.jpg" alt="" width="365" height="521" /></a></p>
<p>See BAD LIEUTENANT: PORT OF CALL NEW ORLEANS because it is an awesome piece of crazy independent cinema! It&#8217;s like smoking a rock out of your lucky crack pipe, without the withdrawls and iguanas. I leave you with trailers for both the original and the new one. Enjoy!</p>

<p>Eva Mendes is now on the list of stars who have joined PETA on the fight against animal abuse. She recently posed naked for the last campaign against natural fur started by PETA.</p>
<p><img src="http://celebgossipandrumors.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/11/eva11.jpg" alt="eva1" title="eva1" width="470" height="760" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-3235" /></p>
<p>&#8220;I love animals, but I hadn&#8217;t had a pet since I was a kid. I recently got a dog and he&#8217;s not only made me a happier girl&#8211;he&#8217;s made me much more sympathetic to animal rights. I look at my beautiful dog and think, &#8220;Of course I&#8217;d never eat him or skin him for his fur, so why would I be okay with eating a cow or wearing a cheetah?&#8221; It&#8217;s just not right. It&#8217;s a contradiction. &#8220;said Eva Mendes for Wenn magazine.</p>
<p>The actress apparently decided to join the organization PETA after seeing a movie in which animals were skinned several farms in China.</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p><img src="http://celebrityandworld.wordpress.com/files/2009/11/eva-mendes1.jpg?w=203" alt="" title="Eva Mendes1" width="203" height="300" class="alignleft size-medium wp-image-9426" />Eva Mendes has become the latest celebrity to sign up to PETA’s anti-fur campaign.</p>
<p>The actress is fronting the animal rights campaign group&#8217;&#8217;s latest expose of the fur industry.</p>
<p>PETA’s new campaign includes an investigation into fur farms and markets in China.</p>
<p>&#8220;Millions of animals are killed for their pelts each year&#8230; I didn&#8221;t always know how animals were killed for their fur, and I even wore fur once myself,” Contactmusic quoted her as saying.</p>
<p>&#8220;When I learned how cruel the fur industry is &#8211; and that there are no laws protecting these animals &#8211; I swore that I&#8221;d never wear it again. Please join me today as we go behind the scenes of the international fur trade, and find out how you can look glamorous without supporting animal suffering,&#8221; she added. </p>
<p>The 35-year-old star said she once wore fur, but having a dog has changed her ways forever.</p>
<p>She said: &#8220;I have a dog named Hugo and it literally changed my life.</p>
<p>&#8220;Every choice that I make, I always think about my little Hugo and think, &#8221;God, would I eat him? Would I cage him up, and you know, would I skin him?&#8221; No, of course not.&#8221; </p>

<p><span style="font-size:x-small;"><strong>London:</strong> <strong>Hollywood actress Eva Mendes</strong> has blasted religious critics for tagging her Calvin Klein lingerie ad as raunchy. She insists the semi-naked poster is ‘tasteful and beautiful’ and not otherwise.</span></p>
<p>Imdb.com reports that the actress’ latest ad for the fashion firm raised eyebrows, particularly a poster in downtown New York City that shows the half-naked star sprawled across an entire city block. Critics protested and wanted the poster pulled down, but Mendes insists they’re wrong in their approach. “It’s a religious group that has a problem with the image. That’s what I love about this country. We can voice our opinions and beliefs like that. But they’re wrong. I don’t think I’m traumatising any children. I think it’s a really tasteful and beautiful ad,” she said.</td>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p>I&#8217;ve been frequently told that I think too much, tend to go overboard on the analysis of all things great and trivial. I torment myself and others with too many, &#8220;What does it all mean?&#8221;</p>
<p>Why are you looking at me that way?  Okay, I know. You are wondering how I am able to consume copious hours of reality television. The answer: I give brain a mini vacay from thinking with a promise to resume its usual task once the show, or in this most recent case, the movie,  <a title="Bad Lieutenant: Port of Call New Orleans" href="http://www.badlt.com" target="_blank"><em>Bad Lieutenant: Port of Call New Orleans</em>, </a>is over.</p>
<p><em>Bad Lieutenant: Port of Call New Orleans</em>, which opened last Friday, starring Nicholas Cage, is quite predictable even in its unpredictability. But if you love your Nick Cage over-the-top and chomping on the scenery like El Chubracabra, this is the film for you.</p>
<p>Directed by <a title="Werner Herzog Web site" href="http://www.wernerherzog.com" target="_blank">Werner Herzog</a>, the film has Cage (Terence McDonagh) as a not-so-great cop gone bad but still doing what he needs to do for the sake of the greater good even it’s bad. Get that?  Don’t worry, it’s not as complicated as it sounds.</p>
<div id="attachment_3446" class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 506px"><a href="http://cwrite.wordpress.com/files/2009/11/val-kilmer-and-nick-cage4.jpg"><img class="size-full wp-image-3446" title="Nicholas Cage and Val Kilmer in 'Bad Lieutenant: Port of Call New Orleans' (photo: Courtesy of Fanscape)" src="http://cwrite.wordpress.com/files/2009/11/val-kilmer-and-nick-cage4.jpg" alt="" width="496" height="327" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">Nicholas Cage and Val Kilmer in &#39;Bad Lieutenant: Port of Call New Orleans&#39; (photo: Courtesy of Fanscape)</p></div>
<p>You see, the story takes place in New Orleans in the aftermath of Katrina. The levees have broken. The police station is flooding. In an effort to save a prisoner trapped in a cell in which the water is rising rapidly, Cage dives in. He saves the prisoner but injures his back.  To ease the pain, a doctor prescribes some medication. Cage takes it as well as his own self-prescribed meds. He particularly likes the kind that come in powder form &#8212; if you know what I mean. Cage uses rather unconventional means of scoring drugs. I don&#8217;t want to reveal anything. Let&#8217;s just say he has a gun and a badge and is not afraid to use it.</p>
<p>Although Cage, who was promoted to Lieutenant following the heroic rescue, pursues drugs like it was his job to do so, Cage&#8217;s real job is to investigate the drug-related, execution style murder of a Sengalese family.</p>
<div id="attachment_3447" class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 507px"><a href="http://cwrite.wordpress.com/files/2009/11/eva-mendes4.jpg"><img class="size-full wp-image-3447" title="Eva Mendes in 'Bad Lieutenant: Port of Call New Orleans'" src="http://cwrite.wordpress.com/files/2009/11/eva-mendes4.jpg" alt="" width="497" height="803" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">Eva Mendes in &#39;Bad Lieutenant: Port of Call New Orleans&#39; (photo: Courtesy of Fanscape)</p></div>
<p>The film follows Cage as he attempts to keep it together enough to track down the criminals. Oh, if that wasn&#8217;t enough to keep him busy, he takes time to get a little loving and a hit of the good stuff from his high class hooker, addict girlfriend played by Eva Mendes (Frankie Donnenfeld). Mendes&#8217; performance, a take on the hooker with a heart of gold &#8212; kind of, sort of &#8212; is top of the line B-movie quality&#8230;Now, wait a minute, I&#8217;m not saying she is bad. Not at all. She gives a good performance in a very limited role.</p>
<div id="attachment_3448" class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 506px"><a href="http://cwrite.wordpress.com/files/2009/11/xibit-and-cage3.jpg"><img class="size-full wp-image-3448" title="Xzibit,Nicholas Cage and Cohorts from 'Bad Lieutenant: Port of Call New Orleans' (photo: Courtesy of Fanscape" src="http://cwrite.wordpress.com/files/2009/11/xibit-and-cage3.jpg" alt="" width="496" height="349" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">Xzibit, Nicholas Cage and Cohorts from &#39;Bad Lieutenant: Port of Call New Orleans&#39; (photo: Courtesy of Fanscape</p></div>
<p>Every cop film needs a villain. <em> Bad Lieutenant: Port of Call New Orleans</em> has one in rapper turned actor Alvin &#8220;Xzibit&#8221; Joiner (Big Fate), the drug lord sought in connection with the murders. He is surprisingly good, giving a calm, measured performance in contrast to Cage&#8217;s wild man antics.</p>
<p>Another surprise, a rather odd one, is the film&#8217;s supporting cast which includes noted actors such as Jennifer Coolidge, Irma P. Hall, Vondie Curtis-Hall, and Val Kilmer as Cage&#8217;s partner.  To say that they are underutilized, would be an understatement.  The truth of the matter is that it&#8217;s Cage&#8217;s film and everyone is there in service to him. Now is not the time for breakout performances.</p>
<p>I&#8217;m going to do a bit of thinking right now. I do have to say that I expected a better treatment of New Orleans as backdrop. There was no sense of place or reason why the story needed to take place in this particular location at this particular time.  As it is filmed, New Orleans looks like just another blighted American city, not one so keenly etched into our collective consciousness.</p>
<p>Well, enough of that.</p>
<p>Nick Cage fans. You get your man just like you like him &#8211; - bigger than life, wild, with a healthy dose of camp.</p>
<p>Enjoy.</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p><img src="http://celebrityandworld.wordpress.com/files/2009/11/eva-mendes41.jpg?w=223" alt="" title="Eva Mendes4" width="223" height="300" class="alignleft size-medium wp-image-9187" />Eva Mendes has hit out at critics of her raunchy Calvin Klein lingerie ad.</p>
<p>The star’s latest billboard ad for the fashion firm has raised eyebrows, particularly a poster in downtown New York City that shows the half-naked star sprawled across an entire city block. </p>
<p>Religious critics of the ad have protested and want the poster pulled down, but Mendes has blasted them, insisting the semi-naked poster is ‘tasteful and beautiful.’</p>
<p>&#8220;It&#8217;&#8217;s a religious group that has a problem with the image. That&#8217;&#8217;s what I love about this country. We can voice our opinions and beliefs like that,” Contactmusic quoted her as saying.</p>
<p>“But they&#8221;re wrong. I don&#8221;t think I&#8221;m traumatising any children. I think it&#8217;&#8217;s a really tasteful and beautiful ad,&#8221; she added.</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p style="text-align:center;"> </p>
<p style="text-align:center;">Het is al weer de derde keer dat CNN dit evenement houdt en 4 mooie dames waren van de partij.</p>
<p style="text-align:center;">Annalynne ziet er keurig uit. Simpel gestyled, ze had het een beetje pit kunnen geven</p>
<p style="text-align:center;">door voor een ander schoentje te kiezen, maar ook zonder ziet ze eruit om door een ringetje te halen.</p>
<p style="text-align:center;">Carrie Underwood ziet er prachtig uit. Ik had alleen niet de ketting om gedaan, daar wordt het iets te</p>
<p style="text-align:center;">tuttig van. Ze had wel voor een andere ketting kunnen kiezen, maar dan met wat meer lengte bijvoorbeeld.</p>
<p style="text-align:center;">Eva kiest voor een mooie cocktaildress. Erg mooi model alleen doet de print me denken aan stro en dat</p>
<p style="text-align:center;">vind ik niet zo mooi. Nogmaals model staat haar wel erg mooi. Het jurkje van</p>
<p style="text-align:center;">Leona Lewis vind ik niet mooi. Het doet haar overigens ook niet goed.</p>
<p style="text-align:center;"> </p>
<p style="text-align:center;"> </p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p><a href="http://www.cnn.com/2009/LIVING/11/16/cnnheroes.tribute.show/index.html"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-465" title="Efren Penaflorida" src="http://kikomatching.wordpress.com/files/2009/11/efren.jpg" alt="" width="510" height="286" /></a></p>
<p>As I was about to call it a day, I saw a video link from a Facebook Page I joined called &#8220;Definitely Filipino&#8221; about the <strong>CNN Hero of the Year</strong>. It say&#8217;s: <strong>Acceptance speech of OUR 2009 CNN HERO</strong> and the thumbnail picture of Efren Penaflorida was attached to it.</p>
<p>Prior to being feted as such, Efren is relatively unknown. At such a young age of 28, he has accomplished something that not many people his age or even older had accomplished or will ever accomplish in their entire life..that is, changing the lives of others&#8211;for the better.</p>
<p>He created the group called <strong>&#8220;Dynamic Teen Company&#8221; </strong>which aims to teach basic reading and writing to children living on the streets in the hope that it will be a diversion to hooking up into gang activities like vandalizing, bullying others or even raping young girls.</p>
<p>Their classroom is a ubiquitous push cart wherein volunteers teach children with age ranging from 2-14 years old. Since 1997, approximately 10,000 members had taught over 1,500 <em>&#8220;children of the slums&#8221;</em>. To sustain this activity, they make and sell crafts or collecting items to recycle.</p>
<p>Moreover, those children that they taught upon getting the inspiration to learn more and strive to have a better life has also become volunteers for future students.</p>
<p>CNN selected 10 nominees for this year&#8217;s Hero of the Year which is now on it&#8217;s 3rd year. These Heroes as what the tagline says <strong>&#8220;Ordinary People, Extraordinary Impact&#8221;</strong> was selected by a distinguished panel comprising of leaders and humanitarians such as Gen. Colin Powell, Whoopi Goldberg, Sir Elton John, Phil Jackson, Shakira among others.</p>
<p>The Gala Tribute attended by an audience of 3,000 was held in Kodak Theatre, Hollywood last Saturday, November 21 and will have its premiere on Thanksgiving, November 26.</p>
<p>Apart from the prestigious recognition, Efren received <strong>USD 100,000</strong> to continue his advocacy. More than 2.75 million votes were received online in <a href="http://www.cnn.com/"><strong>CNN.com</strong></a> in a span of 7 weeks. Proof of the impact CNN Heroes of the year has brought us in 3 years time.</p>
<p>Presenters include Nicole Kidman, Kate Hudson, Neil Patrick Harris, Pierce Brosnan, Dwayne Johnson, Eva Mendes, Randy Jackson, Greg Kinnear, George Lopez and Julia Louis-Dreyfus.</p>
<p>Here is Efren&#8217;s acceptance speech. While delivering it, he was visibly shaken and emotional maybe upon realizing he won such a great recognition and soon will be watched by millions of people worldwide.</p>
<p><em>&#8220;Our planet is filled with heroes, young and old, rich and poor, man, woman of different colors, shapes and sizes. We are one great tapestry,&#8221; Peñaflorida said upon accepting the honor. &#8220;Each person has a hidden hero within, you just have to look inside you and search it in your heart, and be the hero to the next one in need.&#8221;</em></p>
<p><em>&#8220;So to each and every person inside in this theater and for those who are watching at home, the hero in you is waiting to be unleashed. Serve, serve well, serve others above yourself and be happy to serve. As I always tell to my co-volunteers &#8230; you are the change that you dream as I am the change that I dream and collectively we are the change that this world needs to be.&#8221;</em></p>
<p>His speech is short but so meaningful and inspirational. May this recognition give him and his team more energy and passion to continue helping needy children have the education they deserve. It is such a pride and honor to the Filipino people to be given such award. Hope this would also open the eyes of many of us to help someone in need whenever we can. All the small efforts we exerted can be a life-changing experience for others.</p>

<p>Update: According to <a href="http://www.abs-cbnnews.com/nation/11/22/09/pinoy-2009-cnn-hero-year">ABS-CBN news report</a>, Efren said 90% of the prize money will go to his organization and the remaining 10% to the Church and none for him..really a selfless act. May your tribe increase.</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p>I have no opinion whether or not the film <em>Couples Retreat</em> is any good or not, but I&#8217;m simultaneously disgusted and amused by the way Hollywood worries how the world feels about Black actors in films.</p>
<p>Case in point:</p>
<p>The United States Poster:</p>
<p><a href="http://i.dailymail.co.uk/i/pix/2009/11/14/article-1227868-072DAB06000005DC-169_468x684.jpg"><img class="aligncenter" title="Couples Retreat domestic poster" src="http://i.dailymail.co.uk/i/pix/2009/11/14/article-1227868-072DAB06000005DC-169_468x684.jpg" alt="" width="468" height="684" /></a></p>
<p>Then there&#8217;s the United Kingdom version, which is just a <em>wee</em> bit different.</p>
<p><a href="http://i.dailymail.co.uk/i/pix/2009/11/14/article-1227868-072DAAD0000005DC-259_468x706.jpg"><img class="aligncenter" title="Couples Retreat international poster" src="http://i.dailymail.co.uk/i/pix/2009/11/14/article-1227868-072DAAD0000005DC-259_468x706.jpg" alt="" width="468" height="706" /></a></p>
<p>Now you see the Black folks.   Now you don&#8217;t!</p>
<p>So <a title="why" href="http://insidemovies.moviefone.com/2009/11/16/racism-row-as-black-stars-are-left-out-of-uk-couples-retreat-pos/" target="_blank">why</a> were the African-American couple scrubbed from the U.K. poster?  </p>
<p><em>The makers of the recent Vince Vaughn hit comedy, Couples Retreat, are at the centre of a race controversy after two black actors were airbrushed from publicity posters in the UK.</em></p>
<p><em>The American advert for the film, which stars Vince Vaughn, Jon Favreau and Kristin Davis, shows all eight of the movie&#8217;s principal actors, including Faizon Love and Kali Hawk. But both Love and Hawk were removed from the promotional campaign ahead of the film&#8217;s British release last month.</em></p>
<p><em>Couples Retreat, which has currently taken over $70 million at the worldwide box office, tells the story of four couples who go on holiday together and receive therapy to improve their relationships.</em></p>
<p><em>A spokesman for the film&#8217;s makers, Universal Pictures, confirmed the poster had been changed to &#8216;to simplify the poster to actors who are most recognisable in international markets&#8217;. The studio said it regretted causing offence and has now abandoned plans to use the revised poster in other countries.</em> </p>
<p>I could have <em>sworn</em> I&#8217;ve seen a few Black people in Great Britain.   Do they not go the movies (or is this just a really bad case of &#8220;hidden racism&#8221;)?</p>
<p>In a film like <em>Couples Retreat,</em> I have the nagging feeling  Faizon Love and Kali Hawk were  &#8220;bussed in&#8221; to add a bit of color to the proceedings. Yes, they are placed waaaaay back in the first poster, but they are serving as the token Black folks much the same way every beer commercial or Viagra commercial has one Black guy hangin&#8217; out with all his White buddies.</p>
<p>The South used to be the no-fly zone for films with Black actors in leading roles. Now it&#8217;s the <a title="overseas market" href="http://www.nytimes.com/2007/02/28/movies/28color.html?_r=4" target="_blank">overseas market </a>where even the likes of Will Smith and Denzel Washington find it tough going.</p>
<p><em>“For an international audience, when it looks like an urban movie with an African-American star in the lead, they just turn it off, and I find that incredibly discouraging,” said Chris McGurk, the chief executive of Overture Films. Mr. McGurk was vice chairman of Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer Company when it released the two </em><a href="http://movies2.nytimes.com/gst/movies/movie.html?v_id=260400&#38;inline=nyt_ttl" target="_blank"><em>“Barbershop”</em></a><em> films, starring Ice Cube, to big business with both black and white audiences at home. They earned virtually nothing abroad.</em></p>
<p>Faison Love and Kali Hawk are hardly household names in this country, let alone across the pond.  But they certainly aren&#8217;t the stars of <em>Couples Retreat</em>.   They&#8217;re just there to be the token Black representation, but apparently some genius at Universal Pictures thought even bringing up the rear they were stil too prominent, so out they go. </p>
<p>Will Smith is one of the kings of the box office here in America, but even here he has to factor in how will his movies perform overseas.  </p>
<p>Looking at Smith&#8217;s last five films and who he is paired with as an romantic interest is revealing.</p>
<p><strong>Seven Pounds&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;Rosario Dawson<br />
Hancock&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;Charlize Theron (kinda, sorta)<br />
I Am Legend&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;..Sam the dog<br />
The Pursuit of Happyness&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;Thandie Newton (divorced)<br />
Hitch&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;Eva Mendes</strong></p>
<p>Smith said he wanted to cast a Black actress as his love interest in <em>Hitch</em>, but had to take under consideration how that would play with foreign audiences.   In an 2005 interview with the British newpaper, The Birmingham Post,  Smith explained how Eva Mendes ended up as the romantic lead.</p>
<div id="attachment_1545" class="wp-caption alignleft" style="width: 360px"><a href="http://jeffwinbush.wordpress.com/files/2009/11/eva-and-will.jpg"><img class="size-full wp-image-1545" title="eva-and-will" src="http://jeffwinbush.wordpress.com/files/2009/11/eva-and-will.jpg" alt="" width="350" height="228" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">As fallbacks go you could do worse than Eva Mendes.</p></div>
<p>&#8220;There&#8217;s sort of an accepted myth that if you have two black actors, a male and a female, in the lead of a romantic comedy, that people don&#8217;t want to see it.    We spend $50-something million making this movie and the studio would think that was tough on their investment.  So the idea of a black actor and a white actress comes up&#8212;that&#8217;ll work around the world,  but it&#8217;s a problem in the U.S,&#8221;  Smith said. </p>
<p>It is very hard to find a mainstream American movie where Blacks are romantic leads or depicted in relationships.</p>
<p>Tyler Perry flicks make money hand over fist, he&#8217;s catering to an audience of African American women. Though Denzel often has a Black actress cast as a wife/girlfriend, you have to go back to 2003&#8217;s <em>Out of Time</em> where he&#8217;s involved in a love triangle with Sanaa Lathan and&#8212;the go-to gal for multiracial dating&#8211;Eva Mendes.</p>
<p>It&#8217;s a legitimate argument to make that  the scrubbing of Love and Hawk from the <em>Couples Retreat</em>  UK poster wasn&#8217;t an act of deliberate racism as much a  coldly rational recognition that even popular Black actors have a limited appeal to foreign markets.   It&#8217;s still a bitter pill to swallow.</p>

<p>Attempted to go see &#8220;A Serious Man,&#8221; went to the wrong theater and caught this saw this on a whim.  Glad I did.  It&#8217;s not at all what I think most would expect after seeing the trailer and was a real treat.   Werner Herzog is ill, man.</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p>Top awards go to: Taylor Swift in Reem Acra, Jennifer Nettles in Luisa Beccaria, Taylor Lautner in Calvin Klein, Iman in Jason Wu, and Eva Mendes in Miu Miu.</p>
<p>And since Nicole Kidman is so popular, we have to include her in this week&#8217;s mentions, although I&#8217;m not 100% loving this shoe-horned look on her by  L&#8217;Wren Scott.</p>
