Stars: Matthew McConaughey; Jennifer Garner

Summary:

Connor Mead (Matthew McConaughey) is a notorious photographer who has a bad boy reputation of loving beautiful women and dumping them when they fall in love with him. Beautiful models and celebrities flock to his studio to get their picture taken, usually in lingerie, and throw themselves at him. Conner is so overloaded with women that he has to breakup with three women at the same time during a conference call in front of his next prey. His brother Paul (Breckin Meyer) is about to get married, and Connor thinks he is making a terrible mistake. As an incorrigible bachelor, Connor loves his freedom more than ever settling down and loving only one woman. Connor tries to talk Paul out of getting married, and it looks like Connor is about to succeed. Then the night before the wedding, Connor is visited by three ghosts, who take him back to his past, present, and his lonely future. They try to discovery the point in time where Connors became this womanizing jerk. Maybe there is still time to change him into a sensitive, feeling, and caring person that he once was, and he may even find his true love.

• I love that the movie revolves around a 24-48-hour period and that the story line is fast-paced but does not sacrifice the essence of the story
• I maybe lame but I love Matthew McConaughey here, more here than on How to Lose a Man in 10 Days
• Jennifer Garner seriously needs to plump her cheeks a little. Her sideview profile makes her look like a (Horse).
• I am a sucker for first love never dies plots. It holds true here. And no matter how much you try, it really never goes away.
• Michael Douglas is cute here, so does Matthew’s supposedly little brother.

All in all this is a feel-good movie. I do not claim to make nice reviews because I really don’t care for serious stuff. But if you like feel-good, light romance movies, this one needs to be on top of your list

Whoever coined the sentence, “A smile lights up the entire face.”, was not joking – it really does! That is why most Hollywood celebrities have their crowns whitened, straightened and even capped to make sure they look their best. They can afford to fork out thousands of dollars for this – it’s their job to be beautiful. I bet celebrity dentist Dr Jonathan Levine is always fully booked with clients.

If you are wondering which celebrities are touted to have best celebrity smiles, look no more as I did my research and here they are.

Top 1 to 10: Jessica Alba, Bridget Moynahan, Gisele Bundchen, Scarlett Johansson, Rebecca Gayheart, Kate Beckinsale, Katherine Heigl, Jennifer Garner, Julia Roberts, Megan Fox

According to a research, Jessica Alba tops the list because her smile is closest to the standards of a good smile called Golden Proportions. Note that even imperfect smiles like those of Rebecca Gayheart are still included (she has her lateral incisor longer than a central incisor).

1. He was a classic replica of his Dad but a version of me deep inside.
2. The holidays is what I look forward to most this time of year.
3. My best friend is at the crossroads of her life right now.
4. I to be honest with you.
5. Appearances can be deceiving.
6. The last person I gave a hug to was my daughter.
7. And as for the weekend, tonight I’m looking forward to creating art, tomorrow my plans include visiting my parents and Sunday, I want to turn off the Internet!

With global warming being felt worldwide, we are suffering from the misuse of the environment. Unpredictable weather changes, floods, drought and severe climate changes are just a few of the things we are experiencing right now. Fortunately, governments and citizens are becoming increasingly aware of everything and are trying to launch projects to save whatever is left of the environment. The question is  – will it work? Would it have an effect? Is it too late?

The Reuse. Reduce. Recycle. program has been launched and several local city governments are using it in full force. In certain communities, if garbage is not segregated, there will be no garbage collection.

Plant Green = Plant Trees is a program launched by mountain side municipalities as well. For low-lying lands with scarce water supply, a vegetable and tree Ooze Tube would be a useful tool.

1. Works with multi-stems & conifers.
2. Water weaning – it teaches tree to live on its own!
3. Low cost, re-useable and repairable.
4. Readily adaptable to remote installation.
5. Allows air circulation from stem to soil.
6. Reduces hand watering labor by more than two thirds.
