Walt Disney has released a new movie called Enchanted. This is one of those movies with the Space Jam attitude, mixing animation with real actors and stuff. I kinda like this approach and to think that this movie dwells in the story of a fairy tale in a modern world backdrop, this is going to an interesting film to watch with the whole family together.

The film has Amy Adams, James Marsden, and Patrick Dempsey as the main characters. My family is already pushing to bring them to the cinemas whenever the film hits theaters. And since I love them so much so I am gonna give them what they want.

I hope it will be a great experience.

Dell has concocted another attractive machine. It’s called XPS One and most people would think that this is the PC that everyone would expect for the price and for the form factor. However, Computer Shopper thinks the machine needs more than just good looks to actually be more reliable.

Shopper thinks it needs a better GPU, and laments its lack of upgradability. But its main competition is, of course, the iMac, where it no doubt got its market, which is also no-upgradable.

Dell’s XPS One is more like a so-so than a really remarkable piece of computing device.

I saw this pic from SlashFilm and I just can’t help but be amazed at this piece of Lord of the Rings origami. Eric Joisel is such a very talented guy. This has actually been my frustration ever since I was a child. I tried to learn but I failed. Origami is just nor for me.

Thanks to Lucy Liu, I was forced to watch Rise. I was not really planning to watch any movie that day but since I saw Lucy on the picture, so I thought this would be one hell of an action-packed movie. I can still remember Lucy kicking ass in Charlie’s Angels and Kill Bill.

Well, much to my disappointment, this is not one of Lucy’s best moments. I even think this is her worst movie ever. The story is not good to begin with and the action scenes, which I thought would be the film’s salvation didn’t do great either. Everything was a bloody mess, no pun intended.

Lucy’s character didn’t develop properly and it lacks the charisma that she used to display on screen with her previous movies. I saw a weak Lucy and that is never a good thing. She is supposed to be stronger than usual since she became a vampire but the opposite happened. It was terrible.

Anyway, for you to know what the movie is all about, here it is:

Rise is a supernatural thriller in which a reporter (Liu) wakes up in a morgue to discover she is no longer among the living. She vows revenge against the cult responsible for putting her there and hunts them down one by one. Chiklis plays “Rawlins,” a haunted police detective whose daughter is killed by the same cult and seeks answers for her gruesome death.

Sadie Blake, a reporter, becomes fully aware of the fact that she somehow died when she wakes up in a morgue. She then attempts to gain revenge upon the vampires that killed her by hunting them one by one. She is helped by Detective Clyde Rawlins, whose daughter was also killed by that same vampire clique.

There is a new way to carry your pups everywhere you go. And it is not a pretty sight, especially for your beloved pet.

A pretty wise and ‘cruel’ inventor has taken two things that should never be mixed — dogs and fanny packs — and mutated them into one terrible invention.

This dog fanny pack gives the owner the freedom to carry their dogs around but the poor pup is not comfortable with his condition at all. Making him look like a living fanny pack is not a good deal for the pet at all.

Dogs love to walk so why prevent from doing the very thing they are very much capable of doing?

I don’t know what The Night Watchman is all about but I am glad that Keanu Reeves is part of it. I miss the guy actually. I don’t really consider Keanu as a very good actor but I like the fact that he is back on track and is now starting to make movies again.

I last saw him in Constantine and that was one hell of a movie. I like Keanu because he exudes a different kind of aura among celebrity men. He has this innocent and calm effect that is soothing to the senses regardless of his role. The Matrix trilogy allowed him to give off much of that aura, to the delight of the viewers like me.

I hope Keanu will be doing movies from now on. Quality roles and great script for him to hone his skills more. 

American Idol Season 6 champ Jordin Sparks says that it took a long time for her to accept her body shape. Thank goodness she won the American Idol talent search. She wouldn’t have gained more confidence the faster way.

“I think it really helped boost her self-esteem and made her realize she’s beautiful as she is,” her grandmother, Pam Weidmann, tells PEOPLE for its new issue. Jordin’s mom, Jodi, says of her daughter’s May 23 victory: “It was huge to see her confidence level grow. … She’s standing taller now.”

Jordin is the youngest contestant in the competition yet it seems that she is the biggest among the girls standing at 5′10″. Jordin won the nationwide talent search beating beatboxer Blake Lewis. Now, she thinks she a lot happier about herself and has finally possessed the confidence that she once lacked before she went to American Idol.

I got this from National Geographic and I must say it made my day. Never thought animals could have virgin birth as well.

A hammerhead shark born in a Nebraska zoo in 2001 was the result of a so-called virgin birth, new DNA evidence shows.

The finding marks the first confirmed case of a female shark fertilizing her own eggs and giving birth without sperm from a male, a process known as parthenogenesis.

The baby bonnethead shark, a type of hammerhead, was born at the Henry Doorly Zoo in Omaha, Nebraska.

Scientists were able to match the baby’s DNA with one of three potential mothers in the tank.

But none of these females had had any contact with a male for more than three years.

Scientists at first believed the birth had come about as a result of a female shark’s well-documented ability to store sperm for months.

Amazing right? Too bad the baby shark lost his life not long before it could even enjoy the ocean. But this recent discovery really drove the point home that the world is full of wonderful and mysterious things. Truly, life is beautiful and we should try to make it even more so rather than destroy it and make it ugly.

I have been waiting for this to happen and now it is finally here. Yahoo! finally released its browser version of the Yahoo! Messenger through http://webmessenger.yahoo.com. I have been confronted with many questions before from a friend on how to be able to communicate online without using the messenger software. There was Meebo so we were quite thrilled. But there are things in YM that Meebo could not provide. Webcam features and even conferencing seem to be pretty challenging through Meebo.

But right now, this browser version of the Messenger is truly a lifesaver for many of my colleagues. I just can’t wait to tell the news to them.

I have always been amazed at how man continues to create cool things that are actually very helpful as well. And that one amazing device that sanitizes toothbrushes just blows me away. Yeah, I am kinda overreacting but that’s me. I am hyper most of the time especially with stuff I really like to have and use.

I have this OC attitude and I tend to question myself most of the time if the stuff I use are actually clean and germ-free. And though it may sound weird, that same question always pops up when I am brushing my teeth. Yeah, talk about right timing huh?

But now I think I won’t be happing that problem anymore because this VIOlight toothbrush sanitizer will ensure me that the tool I use for brushing my teeth is 99.9% germ-free. Cool right?
