Top 500 film list snubs UK movies

Tuesday, September 23, 2008

Marlon Brando starred in The Godfather

Despite the labours of a stuttering Hugh Grant, a naked Robert Carlyle and a smooth Sean Connery, we only have eyes for US films.
British-based hits, such as Four Weddings And A Funeral, The Full Monty and most of the Bond movies have failed to make the Top 500 greatest films in an Empire magazine poll.
Only horror classic American Werewolf In London (107th) and gangster flick Get Carter (225th) kept the British flag somewhat limply flying

The dismal result emerged after the monthly film bible spoke to British and US fans, critics and directors.
Top came The Godfather, followed by Raiders Of The Lost Ark and The Empire Strikes Back.
The Shawshank Redemption was the top choice with fans, especially British ones, while 2001: A Space Odyssey was the critics' favourite.
But British filmmakers were behind many Top 500 successes, said Dan Jolin, Empire features editor.
'Alfred Hitchcock came out top in a lot of the list and elsewhere you have films such as Blade Runner, directed by Ridley Scott,' he added.
Filmakers, Critics and Moviegoers' Top 10
1. The Godfather (1972)
2. Raiders Of The Lost Ark (1981)
3. Star Wars Episode V: The Empire Strikes Back (1980)
4. The Shawshank Redemption (1994)
5. Jaws (1975)
6. GoodFellas (1990)
7. Apocalypse Now (1979)
8. Singin' In The Rain (1952)
9. Pulp Fiction (1994)
10. Fight Club (1999)

Posh: I don't want another baby

Tuesday, September 23, 2008

Victoria and David stronger than ever

After recently revealing that she in fact does eat food and boasting that her perfume range alone is worth £109 million, Victoria Beckham has now quashed rumours that she's desperate to have another child.
"I don't want another baby for two years because I'm working so hard on my fashion business. I haven't got time," she said in an interview with The Sun

But the 34-year-old mother-of-three didn't rule out the possibility of adding another Beckham - especially a little girl - to the family.
"Yes we would like another child but it won't be for a couple of years yet."
It's no surprise that she's pushed for time as she has been busy carving out a career for herself as a top fashion designer.
Victoria received a triumphant result when she recently showcased her new fashion range at New York Fashion Week.
After a failed attempt as a solo singer, Posh may have finally found her calling.
She has thrown herself into her work to continue the successes of her Posh and Becks empires.
She's now in the process of designing her new fashion range and is also about to launch a his-and-hers signature fragrance with David.
But after speculation that her marriage with David is on the rocks she insists that they're stronger now than ever before.
"I love him more now than I did when we first met," she said.
"I know people sometimes don't want to believe that we are happy but we are. And come on, I couldn't put on act. I'm not that good an actress. Have you seen Spiceworld

she is kidding don't believe it

David you are our team hope

Human breast milk 'to be used for ice cream'

Friday, September 26, 2008

The next time you pick up an ice-cream you could be indulging in the natural goodness of breast milk.
People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA) has approached the ice-cream makers Ben& Jerry's to consider using the milk from newly pregnant mothers instead of cows.
This move is aimed at reducing the harm caused to cows and calves as well as of course making ice-cream a more healthy snack

PETA wrote a letter to company founders Ben Cohen and Jerry Greenfield, telling them cow's milk is hazardous and that milking them is cruel.
"We're aware this idea is somewhat absurd, and that putting it into practice is a stretch. At the time same, it's pretty absurd for us to be drinking the milk of cows," said Ashley Byrne, a campaign coordinator for PETA.
But Leon Berthiaume a spokesperson for the company that provides Ben & Jerry's with milk has responded rejecting the idea.
"Milk from cows has long-term health benefits and has been proven to be safe and healthy and an important part of the American diet for generations," he said. "I'm not ready to make that change," He said

Dentist breaks into woman's home to steal her teeth

Thursday, September 25, 2008

A woman suffered some unwanted tooth extraction

A woman suffered the freak nightmare of mouth surgery after her dentist burst into her home and yanked out her teeth.
The German dentist is now under investigation for assault and theft after performing the surgury because the woman had not paid him.
According to police, the dentist form Bavarian town of Neu-Ulm barged into the ------ house, tied her up, forced her mouth open and yanked out the two dental bridges that he had previously put in

The work that he had perviously perfomed on the 35-year-old woman came to £320, but after her company's insurance refused to settle the bill, he took matters into his own hands.
Although he has not been arrested, he could face discipline from both the health insurance company and the dental association.
"The dentist is being investigated for assault for the way he forced open her mouth, and theft for taking the bridges," said Christian Owsinski a police spokesman.
"The woman was in pain when she showed up at the police station

Greedy snake finds toad too tough to swallow

Wednesday, September 24, 2008



There's a saying about having eyes too big for your stomach. And for this grass snake, it certainly did bite off more than it could chew.
The 1m-long reptile pounced when it came across a fat toad. Only the toad wasn't going down that hole quietly and resolutely stuck its back legs out.
After a ten-minute battle, the resilient toad escaped to live another day when the female snake realised it was too big to swallow and regurgitated it

The shots were taken by a housewife from her kitchen window in the back garden of her home, in Liss, Hampshire. 'It was the kind of thing you would expect to see on a wildlife programme,' she said.
'The toad was probably 4ins long and the snake was definitely taking on quite a challenge – I think it must have realised it wasn't going to make it
