Joe Mcelderry - Chances of Winning the X Factor

If you are wondering what chances Joe Mcelderry has of winning the X Factor in 2009 then I think I can help you out. I've done quite a bit of research on him recently as I really want him to win as Joe has been my favourite act since the start. So what chance has he got of winning.

Inside information tells me that in the 4th week he narrowly missed out on the bottom 2, one of which left. He only missde it by something like half of a percent. Except for this every week it has been clean sailing for Joe But the thing is, it has been like that for quite a few acts. There are a lot of guys left in the competition that Joe is competing with who are very good.

Joe Mcelderry has some things that make him stick out from the other though. The first one is the fact that he comes across as a genuinely nice guy. Most people will vote for a nice guy going through a rough patch rather than an amazing singer who is a horrible person.

He has a great smile and good looks. He always looks like he has fun on the stage even if he has a bad performance. This makes people feel good about themselves. Secondly, Joe Mcelderry is a pretty decent looking guy on most accounts. You have to take into consideration that most of the shows audience and target audience are women of all ages who will vote because they fancy the pants off Joe.

He has high competition from other acts like Danyl though but he is the only act who has not really had a bad week so far so my vote is going for him to win X factor 2009. I think second place behind Joe Mcelderry will go to Olly Murs becase he is brilliant too.

I'm willing to bet that you're looking online for information about Joe Mcelderry on X Factor if you are , then click here for Joe Mcelderry

10 Movies You Must Watch Before You Die

Dying very soon? Are you on a death toll? Well, before you die, there are 10 great movies that you must watch first. How did I know that this is worth your time? I watched it, and so must you, to prove that I am right.

Due to boredom and got nothing else to do, I decided to have a movie marathon by myself. I went to my entertainment room and selected 10 movies that I love the most. It took me 15 hours just watching them. Here are my top 10 greatest movies of all time. I started with:

1. The Goonies - a 1985 movie that was directed by Richard Donner and a story made by Steven Spielberg. A ragtag group of young misfits are what they call the "Goonies". These "Goonies", who were from the "Goon Docks" neighborhood of Astoria, Oregon, started to go on an adventure to find the buried treasure of One-Eyed Willie, a legendary 17th-century pirate, hoping to save their homes from demolition.

2. Never Ending Story - is the 1984 film adaptation of the German fantasy novel by Michael Ende and the production was directed by Wolfgang Petersen.

Starring Barret Oliver as Bastian Balthazar Bux (named only "Bastian Bux" in the movie), Noah Hathaway as Atreyu, and Tami Stronach as The Childlike Empress.

The story began when Bastian started reading the book "The Never Ending Story". And his adventure started when he started reading the book. To be able to save "Fantasia", Bastian should rebuild the entire world through wishes and imagination.

3. Kids - a 1995 American film written by Harmony Korine and directed by Larry Clark. The film is focused on a day in the life of a group of teenagers in New York City and Disturbing, dark, low-budget independent film about teenagers growing up in poverty in New York City.

The story focuses on Telly (Leo Fitzpatrick), a teen who has a goal to de-flower as many virgins as he can. When one of his old encounters discovers that she is H.I.V.-positive, after only one encounter with a guy, Telly remains undaunted. (http://www.imdb.com/)

4. The Godfather - a 1972 crime film based on the novel of the same name, The Godfather, written by Mario Puzo. The movie was directed by Francis Ford Coppola, with screenplay by Puzo and Coppola. The Godfather was initially ranked as the third greatest film in American cinematic history. The story spans ten years from late 1945 to 1955 and chronicles the life of the Corleone crime family.

5. The Godfather Part II - is a 1974 motion picture directed by Francis Ford Coppola from a script co-written with Mario Puzo. The Internet Movie Database ranks it as the third best movie of all time with the movie's predecessor, The Godfather, ranked as #1, and the American Film Institute lists it as #32. Considered by many, they all say that "The Godfather Part II" is the greatest sequel of all-time. This sequel is nominated for 11 Academy Awards and winning 6, including the Best Picture Award and the Best Supporting Actor Award.

It is considered by some critics to be even better than the original. The film is both a sequel and a prequel to The Godfather, chronicling the story of the Corleone family following the events of the first film while also depicting the rise to power of the young Vito Corleone, played by Robert De Niro.

6. The Godfather Part III (1990) - is the third and final film in the Godfather trilogy written by Mario Puzo and Francis Ford Coppola, and directed by Coppola. It completes the story of Michael Corleone, a Mafia godfather who tries to legitimize his criminal empire. The movie also weaves into its plot a fictionalized account of real-life events - the mysterious 1978 death of Pope John Paul I and the Papal banking scandal of 1981-1982 - and links them with each other and with the affairs of Michael Corleone. The film stars Al Pacino, Diane Keaton, Talia Shire, Andy Garcia, Eli Wallach, Joe Mantegna, George Hamilton, Bridget Fonda, and Sofia Coppola.

7. Good Fellas - is a 1990 film directed by Martin Scorsese, based on the book Wiseguy by Nicholas Pileggi, the true story of mob informer Henry Hill. The film stars Ray Liotta as Henry Hill, Robert De Niro as Jimmy Conway (based on Jimmy Burke), Joe Pesci, who won the Academy Award for Best Supporting Actor for his role as the sociopath Tommy DeVito (based on Tommy DeSimone), Lorraine Bracco as Hill's wife (Karen Hill), and Paul Sorvino as Paulie Cicero (based on Paul Vario).

8. City Of God - is an Academy Award-nominated 2002 Brazilian film, released in its home country in 2002 and worldwide in 2003. It was adapted by Bráulio Mantovani from the 1997 novel of the same name written by Paulo Lins which, both the film and the book, are based on a true story; the war between Knockout Ned and Li'l Zé is based on their real life counterparts. It was directed by Kátia Lund and Fernando Meirelles.

The film received four Academy Award nominations in 2004: Best Cinematography (César Charlone), Best Directing (Meirelles), Best Editing (Daniel Rezende) and Best Writing (Adapted Screenplay) (Mantovani). Before that, in 2003 it had been chosen to be Brazil's runner for the Academy Award for Best Foreign Language Film, but it was not nominated to be one of the five finalists.

In October 2002, a spin-off television series, City of Men, premiered on Rede Globo.

9. Y Tu Mama Tambien - (literally "And your mom, too", released in English-speaking markets under the original Spanish title) is a 2001 Mexican film written by Carlos Cuarón and directed by Alfonso Cuarón. The film chronicles a coming-of-age story of two teenage boys taking a road trip with a woman in her late twenties. The film is set against the backdrop of the political and economic realities of present-day Mexico, specifically at the end of the uninterrupted seventy-year line of Mexican presidents from the Institutional Revolutionary Party, and the rise of the opposition headed by Vicente Fox. The film achieved great success in its native country and received awards and critical acclaim in foreign territories.

10. Amores Perros - is a Mexican film directed by Alejandro González Iñárritu in 2000. It is an anthology film, containing three distinct stories, which are connected by a car accident in Mexico City. Each of the three tales is also a reflection on the cruelty of humans towards each other, showing how they end up living darker and more hideous lives than the dogs around them. It was nominated for the Academy Award for Best Foreign Language Film in 2001.

The film was released under its Spanish title in the English-speaking world, although it was sometimes translated as Love's a Bitch in marketing. In a 2001 interview on National Public Radio, Iñárritu pointed out that an American English idiom, Love's a Bitch is not a satisfactory translation of the title. (http://en.wikipedia.org)

There you have it, my top 10 greatest movies. Anyone who share same interests as mine, feel free to comment, or you could also suggest some movies that I should also watch before I die. Enjoy!

I am a fan of shoes and films. I am striving and an aspiring director. I know what I like and I try very hard to get them. I don't like people who are content with what they've achieved, I want to be surrounded by people who dream big, and act to achieve their goals and dreams.

From Hannibal to Philanthropist - the Many Roles of Anthony Hopkins

It's but one glance at those ice blue eyes, cutting through you like a dagger. One stealthy turn of his now balding head, one smile like the crack of a bullwhip and you instantly know you are looking at none other than Anthony Hopkins.

He ranks among a generation of actors as steadfast and serious as their steely gazes. Men like Sean Connery and Jack Nicholson, actors who can deliver stellar performances with an unmatchable grace and air of professionalism. A man who is preceded only by the characters he has portrayed, decades of roles that have created an unshakeable career. Instantly recognizable in his Oscar winning role as one of the most maniacal, mentally perverse villains Hollywood has ever encountered, Hannibal Lecter, a role which he revisited two more times in the 2001 film, "Hannibal" and 2002's "Red Dragon". In 1984 Hopkins showed his remarkable flexibility to take on any role when he depicted an entirely different kind of criminal. None other than Adolf Hitler in the film "The Bunker", a gripping look at Hitler's last days on earth as the end of World War 2 loomed on the horizon (for which Hopkins received an Emmy nod).

Taking to controversial roles like a fish to water, Hopkins is easily identifiable as the man who portrayed Richard Bruno Hauptmann in "The Lindbergh Kidnapping Case", and William Bligh in "The Bounty". He is the face many filmgoers tie to the screen versions of John Quincy Adams, Othello and even US President Richard M. Nixon.

Off screen Hopkins has stepped up to the altar three times and is tied to a string of other women - like so many of Hollywood's leading gents. With an almost implausible number of roles under his belt (one hundred plus and rising), stints into film direction and composition, as well as a forthcoming role as an executive producer for the 2005 film "Bobby", that will look at the 1968 assassination of Senator Robert Kennedy. Like many in the spotlight of fame he is involved with various philanthropist causes, though unlike many who simply sign cheques, the causes Hopkins helps out often tie directly into his own life. Evident in the work that he does for numerous charities both in his childhood stomping grounds, the UK, and his current homeland of America (he became a naturalized American citizen in 2000). In Wales, where Anthony was born he has donated over one million pounds sterling to the Snowdonia National Park. As well Hopkins regularly contributes his time and well-honed skills to teach young actors the craft at the Ruskins School of Acting in Santa Monica, California.

Anthony Hopkins has made an unforgettable career made of harsh characters, British personalities, wise men and troubled souls. Yet beneath the gruff, and at times secluded manner, the undeniable wit and personifying charm that only a Welsh fellow can offer, Hopkins is a man who, like so many of the roles he has portrayed, has lead a life of personal struggle, a journey to overcome his demons and perhaps a desire to be known for more than just his astonishing acting skills.

How to Campaign For an Academy Award the Right Way

The Academy Award is one of the most prestigious awards in the world of motion pictures. Along with BAFTA and Golden Globe, the Awards provides a platform, where filmmakers, actors, singer, technicians and other people who work to bring a motion picture to the viewers are felicitated for their amazing work in this regard. Over the years, with the growth in the popularity of the motion pictures, academy awards have become all the more popular as well. It is perhaps due to this reason that almost every one who is involved with motion pictures, dreams of winning the awards.

The Academy Award is also popularly referred to as the Oscars, and is presented every year by AMPAS, i.e. Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences. Another interesting fact about the Academy award is that it is also the award ceremony in the field of media. The AMPAS was conceived by Louis B. Mayer. The first Academy Award ceremony was held on May 16, 1929. The event took place in Hotel Roosevelt and honored outstanding achievements in the film industry during 1927 and 1928. Douglas Fairbanks and William C. DeMille hosted this event. This event was attended by an audience of around 270 people. Initially the awards were aired on radio and thereafter with the advent of television; the proceedings began to be aired on television. The academy awards feature a number of films from various genres. So, you will find Award winning documentaries, Best horror films, Tim McGraw movies, as well as top indie films.

Voting in regard to the awards is conducted by The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences. The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences has a voting membership of around six thousand people. Voters largely constitute actors, in regard to the composition. The votes are certified by PricewaterhouseCoopers. All the members are invited for the voting procedure, by the Board of Governors. New membership applications are considered on an annual basis. The membership is not revealed publicly.

When it comes to winning an academy award, campaigning plays a very important role. Although these days, Oscar campaigning is associated more or less with mudslinging campaigns, such a practice doesn't actually help. The idea in regard to such a campaign should focus on ensuring that all the members watch your movie. This would provide you with a fair chance. You may also go ahead promoting your movie on the newspapers, television and the internet, generating support and bringing it in the forefront.

As it is, the academy awards are definitely one of the most prestigious events. So, best of luck for your campaigning.
