We started out as a small European action movie and everyone who was involved in the project -
Paul Anderson, director, myself and Michelle Rodrigeuz - were fans of the game. "
Milla Jovovich said earlier that she Resident Evil movies will continue to make money
as long as they continue to muster.
And why not? The films will never win Oscars,

HECUBA MANEROS
GOD OF WAR III (PS3)

She knew there was never any real hope, of course.
All the other concubines had died days ago.
Poseidon had left them with no food, only water. And lots of it, the bastard.
So she made her peace with Zeus and prepared for the journey across the River Styx.

But now what was this Spartan doing here? And why was he covered in ashes and blood?
More important, was he here to help her?
No, she thought. This is not a man who knows compassion, either given or received.
Athena, bless my soul, she thought, for all is truly lost.

LOLITA CHANG
CRIMECRAFT (PC)

Lolita runs a tight shop.
Ever the selfreliant type, she personally cleans, oils and files the serial numbers off every gun she gets
as soon as they come in so they’re always ready to go.

Kind of like Lolita herself.
Just make sure you’re in fighting form; she’s been known to take potshots at men who don’t deliver the goods.

SKYLAR ST. CLAIRE
THE SABOTEUR (360, PC, PS3)

When Sean drunkenly propositioned her last night, there was little Skylar could do to resist,
between the leather, the smell of engine oil and his win on the racetrack.

Plus, they’re on the same side, spying on the Nazis.
It was a relief to be with someone who understood how bold hiding can be, even for one night.

BEATRICE PORTINARI
DANTE’S INFERNO (360, PSP, PS3)

Lie down with dogs, you get up with fleas.
Lie down with the lord of filth and flies, and you get eternity in the underworld.

Beatrice wanted only to keep Dante safe while he fought in the crusades.
Being abducted by the Prince of Darkness was not part of the bargain.
But while she knows her lover is the cause of her soul’s damnation, she also knows his devotion to her is the key to her salvation.
Oh, Dante, will you remain true?

BELLA ANTONELLI
MAFIA II (360, PC, PS3)

So the heist didn’t go perfect, Vito thought to himself.
Joe never could keep his big mouth shut. But he was alive, wasn’t he?
And alive with a couple bullet holes beats dead and pretty.

Besides, Maria here (it was Maria, right?) was pretty enough for both of them.
Hell, a little pain and suffering were worth it to see the look on Eddie’s face when he tossed four sacks of cash onto his desk all casual-like.
But first, a toast.
To Maria. It was Maria, right?

MADISON PAIGE
HEAVY RAIN (PS3)

Madison hadn’t slept in three days, and “drained” didn’t begin to cover it.
All she knew was she didn’t want to see Them again.
Not now.

There was no way she could take it in her state.
Right now all she wanted was a shower. Something hot and wet to wash the cold, dirty world off her.
The water would do her good.
After that it was time to get dressed, get her camera and voice recorder, then head over to that motel.
She’d be able to sleep there; she was sure of it.

car of the year: Porsche Panamera

2009-12-27T14:57:00.000-08:00

Porsche Panamera

Inside, the Panamera is luxurysaloon elegant and as high tech as tomorrow,
with every conceivable driver aid. The leather coddles, and the rear seats are big enough to
hold two six- footers comfortably.

Go for the Bose upgrade, which features no fewer than 14 speakers:
You’ll think Mick and Keith are sitting in the car with you, jamming away.

Just think about it: Porsche’s first-ever sedan.
Germany’s leading sports car manufacturer has packed everything it learned in half a century of great road cars
and world-class racing into a remarkable four-door achievement. It’s available in three variants—
the twowheel-drive S ($89,800), the all-wheel-drive 4S ($93,800) and the top-of-the-line Turbo.
We put on the miles in all three—on the road and on two racetracks, including Road America, one of the most storied
racing venues in the U.S. A big car with vast interior space, the Turbo swept through the track’s famed high-speed Carousel turn
with confidence, stormed the straights and juked through turns like an all-star running back.

The seven-speed PDK dual-clutch manual gearbox is creamy smooth. Composite ceramic brakes are an option,
but the standard ventilated stoppers do the job. A stop-start feature shuts down the engine during long idles
and restarts it the second the brake pedal is released, just like a hybrid. Though the direct-injection 500 bhp V8 is mounted up front,
Porsche has captured all the visceral feel you’d expect, the essential DNA of a 911.
That’s why the Panamera is PLAYBOY’s 2010 Car of the Year.

The smallest Christmas tree

2009-12-07T14:28:00.000-08:00

As the lights were switched on in Trafalgar Square other countries were
creating their eye-catching variations.
The smallest Christmas tree would be pretty tricky to decorate – because
it measures less than half the width of a human hair.
It is made from silicon with an ion beam, normally used on silicon
chips, at Britain's National Physical Laboratory.

Africa and the origin of Human beings

2009-12-07T14:01:00.001-08:00

Biologists now believe that as human beings moved about within and outside the African continent,
they retained the ability to interbreed, but their geno-phenotypes (often referred to as geographical “races”)
emerged as adaptations to different ecological zones.

No one knows what the earliest Homo sapiens in Africa looked like, but the so-called Negro-appearing people
became the dominant physical type in sub-Saharan Africa (pockets of these Negroid people also lived in the oases of the Sahara).

The Negroes in the Nile Valley tend to be taller and darker; eastward, in the Horn of Africa, the people appear
to be a mixture of Negroids and the so-called Caucasoids. Caucasoid populations live in northern Africa
and in the northern parts of the Sahara and the Nile Valley.

A short variety of Negroids, popularly known as Pygmies (Twa), live scattered among their taller neighbors in the central regions,
and in southern Africa live another fairly short population, yellowish in skin color and possessing wiry hair, known as the Khoisan.

Also in southern Africa and parts of eastern Central Africa are found Caucasoid and Caucasoid-like
populations of European and Indian provenance; Malayo-Polynesian populations are settled in Madagascar.

Sensuous Muse

2009-12-07T06:41:00.001-08:00

In the world of commercial art, Los Angeles-based photographer/illustrator Jeff Wack is a superstar.
Known for his imaginative and stunning visual style, Wack has created major works and ad campaigns
for a variety of mainstream clients, including Coca-Cola, Nokia, Budweiser, MGM, 20th Century Fox,
Universal Studios, Atari and Activision. But it is his latest project that really captured our attention.

The "Sensuous Muse" series blends the timeless theme of the idealized female figure with elements commonly found in nature.
The result is nothing short of breath-taking. But make no mistake, these erotic images are not porn. Instead, Wack's creations
present the softer side of sex: subtly focusing on the female form rather than raw, explicit sexuality.

The artist is very passionate about his creations.
" I allow the unmistakable beauty of the female form to inspire my works," Wack declares.
" Through the ages it has been a source of wonderment and intrigue for countless artists of all media.
My goal is to infuse each figure's world with a timeless sense of ethereal space and energy
that goes far beyond a mere model shot against a studio backdrop."

Wack combines conventional photography ( both from personal files and studio shoots ) and high-definition digital graphics.
He then alters the lighting and color while adding detailed effects to conceive a vivid, otherworldly image.
The end result leaves us speechless.
