Advantages: Current American Idol winner, a musician Disadvantages: None
This...... is the current American Idol Winner.
David Cook is the American Idol that nearly never was. He actually was not initially going to try out for the television talent show, he was at the auditions to support his brother but, after some pushing from his brother, decided to audition too. A good decision, because he became the winner of the seventh season of American Idol in 2008.
David Cook is classified as a Rock, singer-songwriter. His sound is definitely very rocky, but in my opinion quite soft rock. He has a very deep, raspy voice that lends itself very well to this type of music. What I really like about him is that he can actually play an instrument, unlike a lot of the new pop stars out there today who are just manufactured. He plays the guitar and actually used it quite a lot when he was performing on Idol. If you look ...
Advantages: Great magic tricks Disadvantages: Not for the squeamish
We've all read about David Blaine in the news a few months ago, doing another one of his crazy stunts, in this case trying to hold his breath underwater for around nine minutes. Before this stunt some of you may remember him sitting in a box near to the Thames for a few months, and even before that you may remember him being frozen in ice. This Showman DVD concerns his frozen in ice preparations and how he managed to survive in freezing cold temperatures for such a long time. Interspliced between this are a number of amazing magic tricks which leave you wondering, how?
On the DVD we see Blaine's preparations for this arduous stunt right from the start, as he gets his health checks done and makes his initial preparations. Although some of us are a little sceptical of Blaine about his motives for performing these crazy stunts, you have ...
Advantages: good story Disadvantages: political cliche story
"The Life of David Gale" by Alan Parker
***
"The Life of David Gale," Starring Kate Winslet, Kevin Spacey, Laura Linney, is not exactly clear what type of actors it requires. It takes some sort of talent to make a film as completely, overbearing and downright clear images. Rate as thriller, classic thriller lovers doesn’t have to like it. In this case, "David Gale" is little more than propaganda, as a dramatic feature — which might be fine if this were a documentary, where such things are expected or barely tolerated. Kevin Spacey is far too consummate movie actor and a personality with a strong social sense for justice. He exposes both sides in "The Life of David Gale". This is a death penalty drama directed and co-produced by vibrant well know by such movies filmmaker, Alan Parker.

DAVID AND BATHSHEBA brings to life what is possibly the most dramatic story in the Old Testament. Gregory Peck stars as King David, a devout servant of God who is having serious marital difficulties with his wife Michal. Recently returned home from the wars with the Ark of the Covenant in tow, David sees hottie Bathsheba (Susan Hayward) bathing on a nearby rooftop, and in no time at all the two lovebirds are tossing their togas to consume their passion. Of course, there are a couple small hitches--Bathsheba’s husband for one, and the wrath of God. With a drought upon the land and King David’s flock demanding that Bathsheba be stoned to death for her sins, dashing David must come up with some new psalms on the double to save the kingdom and his love. Special effects work on the Ark was innovative for the period and the costuming is excellent, making DAVID AND BATHSHEBA one of the better biblical films of the 1950s.
