Iranian Pastor Sentenced To Death For Being A Christian

Youcef Nadarkhani

Iranian Christian pastor, Youcef Nadarkhani, has been sentenced to death, for being a preacher of the gospel living in Iran. Nadarkhani has been charged with apostasy by the Muslim state, who have been placed under a significant amount of world scrutiny for this decision, drawing the condemnation of a number of nations. Nadarkhani has been given the option of recanting his Christian faith or being hanged.

He has refused to renounce his faith and the Iranian government has not called off the execution. A person should be able to freely practice their faith without harm or retribution. Here's hoping the Iranian government will do the right thing, drop the charges and not execute pastor Nadarkhani. God bless you and your family, Youcef.

Celluloid Film Review: Madea's Big Happy Family

Title: Madea's Big Happy Family

Year Of Release: 2011

Review Date: September 30, 2011

Rating: PG-13

Running time: 106 minutes

Box Office Gross: $53,345,287

Site Rating: 6 out of 10 stars

"Madea's Big Happy Family" is the story of Madea's big crazy family, struggling with various problems. Loretta Devine, stars as "Shirley" a family matriarch dying from cancer and wanting her family together for a nice meal together, where she can give them the bad news, after being given weeks to live.

However, Shirley's family, comprised of her adult children, have many problems that range from martial trouble to a past secret incident of molestation, resulting in each attempt at a dinner, descending into fights. This film is sad, but brings up topics people struggle with everyday.

While the Celluloid Film Review is no fan of LionsGate, the distributor of "Madea's Big Happy Family" due to the company's unethical conduct in a number of issues, which have ventured into unlawful territory, Perry has been taking a lot of undeserved flack for his work that has been labeled buffoonery. This was a good film and contrary to what some think, there are people in the black community like some of the characters therein that have been deemed "embarrassing." Why should they be underrepresented.

It reminds me of small controversies, regarding some Jewish people not liking the sitcom "The Nanny" due to the stereotypes it contained (but the funny character had a good, kind heart and was very giving) and some Anglo-Saxons being embarrassed by "Married With Children." Well, sorry white people, I can't help you with "Married With Children" but now you know how we (black people) feel when we see "Flavor Of Love."

Celluloid Film Review: The Lincoln Lawyer

Title: The Lincoln Lawyer

Year Of Release: 2011

Review Date: September 30, 2011

Rating: PG-13

Running time: 119 minutes

Box Office Gross: $85,507,593

Site Rating: 5 out of 10 stars

Family Warning: contains some sexual content, violence and bad language

"The Lincoln Lawyer" stars the handsome and charming, Matthew McConaughey, as a tough criminal defense attorney. At first, I thought the film was set in the U.S. city of Lincoln, Nebraska, due to the title, but it was not so.

The film apparently got its name from the main character, attorney, Mickey Haller, being driven around all day, by a round the way tough guy in a Lincoln car. The Lincoln serves as his office, as he has no fixed business address, well, other than his secondary one, a home office (my favorite kind).

Haller is sought out by a seemingly normal client, who claims he has been wrongly accused of a terrible murder, but as the film progresses, it is revealed, he is as a phrase I read recently, "Nuttier than squirrel doodoo." The film has many twists that are somewhat surprising.

Celluloid Film Review: Arthur

Title: Arthur

Year Of Release: 2011

Review Date: September 30, 2011

Rating: PG-13

Running time: 110 minutes

Box Office Gross: $65,339,543

Site Rating: 2 out of 10 stars

Family Warning: contains some sexual content and bad language

"Arthur" the remake of the 1981 film of the same name, did not live up to its predecessor, regarding the promiscuous Brit living in New York. The reboot, which stars British comedic actor, Russell Brand, in the role, did not quite do the late Dudley Moore justice. Most filmgoers probably did not look past the surface of this film's trailer, to buy a ticket to see it, as the movie so paled in comparison to what came before it, the deterioration in quality was immediately apparent.

The film did have a few funny moments, but it took way too long for them to arrive. Some jokes did fall somewhat flat, while ironically characterizing the Obama Administration's view on economics. When officials inform Arthur he is living a lavish and meaningless life, by stating, "How do you explain this frivolous spending during a recession" - he simply goes to an ATM, obtains funds from his family's account and spontaneously begins throwing it all over a room full of people while proclaiming, "Free money, recession's over, we're in a boom." The Obama school of economics, indeed.

Speaking of Obama, Hollywood has been name dropping him in their movies, as a means of promoting him. This is being done in bids at propping him up, after their insane agenda, bad advice and constant presence at the White House, firmly planted the first African-American presidency in trouble (see polls). When Arthur is confronted by his mother about his debauched lifestyle and her desire for him to marry a domineering woman he does not love, she admonishes him by stating, "As the charming coffee colored gentleman (Obama) that runs this country said, 'It is time to put aside childish things.'" Actually, that phrase came from the Bible (1 Corinthians 13:11). Leave it to Hollywood to compliment and insult in the same sentence, where no matter what they tell you, race is a factor.

Celluloid Film Review: The Fantastic Mr. Fox

Title: The Fantastic Mr. Fox

Year Of Release: 2009

Review Date: September 30, 2011

Rating: PG

Running time: 87 minutes

Box Office Gross: $46,471,023

Site Rating: 1 out of 10 stars

"The Fantastic Mr. Fox" starring George Clooney, is possibly one of the most boring animated films I have ever seen. I couldn't wait for it to finish. "Mr. Fox" is the story of a thieving fox that steals food from farmers (right up Hollywood's alley). When the farmers figure out what is transpiring and try to kill Fox and his cohorts, they flee underground. Much more could have been done with this film that was adapted from a children's novel, as the movie was dull and the animation chintzy.

The Beauty Diary: Hotloxs Saved The Day

This week was such a crazy week for me. You will all know that I am obsessed with my hair and I had a massive hair disaster last weekend, but thank GOD for Hotloxs Hair Extensions they have saved the day once again!

Ok so last weekend I headed back to Limerick for the weekend to spend some time with my family and decided to take out my micro-bead extensions (which was extremely easy, only took 5 mins!) to give my hair a much needed cut.

Once I was in the salon I realised my hair colour needed a top up. I had balayage done not so long ago and because of the bright blonde I used to be, my hair was turning light again. The salon I went to said they could do balayage for me, and my oh my were they wrong.

Horror Hair! :(

Yes shock and horror, look at this crazy image of my hair. My roots were practically black and the rest of my hair was left with patches of blonde, it was such a disaster. The the first thing I did? I called Hotloxs Hair Extensions.

As usual they were absolutey amazing to deal with and fitted me in for an appointment straight away. Before I headed in I threw in some dye of my own to try and avert the disaster but there was still tones of blonde and copper all over the ends of my hair and patches throughout the middle (yes it was dreadful).

My hair before Hotloxs helped me out!

As soon as I got into the Hotloxs Studio, which is located above the Dublin Tourist Information offices just off O'Connell Street, the amazing Anna had the hair ready to go. Because I was in so much shock over the colour and the messed up tones, Anna gave me some clip ins that could blend in with the different colours.

I have to say if it wasn't for Hotloxs I don't know what I would do with myself! The tones mixed in with my own hair was perfect. I put in a little bit more of a mocha brown on my natural hair and I am loving the new look.

I love my new hair colour and HOTLOXS!

I have been brown brunette before but I let the colour wash out again. This time I will stick to the new darker look, I really love it.

The next step will be putting in some low-lights and copper high-lights to mix it up a little, but I am keeping the darker look for definite.

If you want to get similiar Clip Ins to mine, then go now to www.hotloxshair.com. If you are unsure what colours to go with then all you have to do is connected with Hotloxs on Facebook and mail them a picture of your hair. Their colour technicians will match your exact tones and send out the clip ins ASAP.

As Quinn and Jennifer expecting, also mwisho and Merly

This will come as good news to the fans of Mwisho and Meryl after it turned out that Meryl had succumbed to a live kick from Tanzania’s Mwisho. Meryl had initially scared off some of her fans when she was close to Sheila Kwamboka from Kenya.

Meryl’s current condition will now put all those fears to rest as the couple looks forward to parenthood. They will also be holding their wedding later in the year to supplement the engagement ceremony they had during the Big Brother Africa 5 house.

At the time when their affair kicked off Meryl was moving out with a Namibian celebrity and Mwisho was dating two girls at the same time.

Mwisho first appeared in the Big Brother Africa 1 version while Meryl appeared in the Big Brother Africa 2 version. These were the times of shower hour with Meryl and Uganda’s Maureen on full display the moment Biggie announced that it was shower hour.

They then bounced back in the Big Brother Africa 5 otherwise dubbed All Stars where they hooked up and steamy moments kicked off. This will not be the first official Big Brother Africa couple as Quinn and Jennifer are expecting their first child.

Kevin and Liz who had their wedding last year are now blessed with a beautiful daughter called Malaika

Ashton Kutcher Was Photographed 3-Months Ago Leaving With A Blond Behind Wife Demi Moore's Back

Ashton Kutcher and mystery woman

Proving his marriage to Demi Moore is on the rocks, Ashton Kutcher refuses to deny claims he has been having sex with young blond groupies he's met in clubs and bars. Instead, Kutcher is making nonsensical and evasive comments on Twitter that are not fooling anyone.

They look nervous and awkward, like they should not be seen together

New photos surfaced this week, taken 3-months ago, featuring Kutcher attempting to discreetly ferry around a young blond that looks similar to his most recent fling, Sara Leal, who blabbed about their affair to the blogosphere, through an alleged friend.

Sara Leal

The blond bimbos are certainly adding up for Kutcher, leaving Moore dismayed and embarrassed. She will see it as a repudiation of her appearance (age), but to put it bluntly, she is kooky and married a twit that only cares about beers and breasts. To expect more was an act of self-delusion.

Sara Leal and her friends

Really, what did she think was going to happen. Not only is Kutcher a lightweight Hollywood actor not known for any film of substance (i.e. "Dude Where's My Car") he is not a serious person either. He doesn't exactly come across as an intellectual and that is nothing to do with his age. During interviews, you could easily believe, this guy was the real life inspiration for the film "Dumb and Dumber."

Demi Moore

I was informed years ago that Kutcher desperately wants out of the marriage to Moore. I've been writing about their issues for a few years. The facto f the matter is she should have stuck with her first husband. Getting with Kutcher was about ego and alleged viability in Hollywood for Moore.

Conrad Murray Wanted $5 Million To Be Michael Jackson's Doctor On Tour For A Few Months

Conrad Murray, the doctor of the late pop star, Michael Jackson, who overdosed him by giving him too much Propofol anesthetic, along with other pharmaceutical meds, demanded $5,000,000 from tour promoter, AEG, to be the singer's physician on tour for a few months.

This was an extraordinary sum to request, betraying the doctor's greed. Jackson wouldn't even clear $5,000,000 per night on tour, after expenses, yet Murray thought this exorbitant sum was acceptable. Murray behaved like a mercenary and it clouded his judgment in a number of things, in relation to the medical care, if you can call it that, he gave Jackson.

Fashion Fix - Fitted Dresses

It may be getting closer and closer to the time where we will be living in our Uggs again and sporting wooly jumpers but you can still look sexy when it's cold outside.

Victoria Beckham is the queen of fitted dresses but I've found a much cheaper version with excellent quality right here in Dublin. Yes, it's my favourite fashion store, A-Wear.

Over the years the store has become more and more popular with much more competitive prices than other stores with the same quality.

So let's get to it. This Autumn/Winter will be exploding with colour. Mustards and reds are the big ones. This mustard sculptured dress is an absolute steal at €49. It is definitely on par with VB's top designs.

Im loving the  ribbed effect on this dress, it gives an extra expensive quality to the look.

And don't worry if you aren't stick thin, these dresses are shaped to hold on to those curves so you can show off a beautiful hour glass figure.

There are so many different ways to wear this dress. If this sunshine keeps up you can throw on some cream sandals and head out to an evening event or if it's getting icy out there you can grab yourself some knee-high boots, tights and a black blazer.

Next up is this gorgeous colour block fitted number. For only €59 also this can last you through all the seasons.

This one can be a bit daring and you have to make sure to use the less is more motto. There is so much already going on with this dress, you don't want to over do it.

What I would suggest is bare leg, black peep toe heels, and big chunky dangle earrings. This can look absolutely fabulous. The two colours may look a bit out there together but this look is gorgeous and perfect for this season.

This dress is a little bit more pricey at €52 but it is absolutely stunning. This yellow contrast look is really in at the moment.

The gorgeous Kate Winslet was only spotted wearing this exact look this month and as you can see it gives the amazing illussion of being that bit skinner (which is always good).

But like I said these dresses are about embracing your curves so don't be worried about the tight fit, remember SPANX is a girls best friend.

All these dresses can be found in the Closet section of A-Wear.
