Robert Zemeckis’ performance capture system, which turns life-action into animation, gets quite a workout in Mars Needs Moms. Its characters, both human and Martian, tumble through space, slide down chutes, chase along corridors that turn every which way and dance around mountains and into caverns created out of huge mounds of trash. The process has also lost those weirdly inhuman faces that plagued The Polar Express, Zemeckis’ first foray into performance capture. In fact, so many things in this unique kind of animation, especially the designs and all its many details, keep getting better and better. So why does Mars Needs Moms feel so slight?
Other than Beowulf, his most successful performance-capture film to date, Zemeckis has chosen to deploy this system in children’s films. Which is just fine as far as that goes, but where the technical advances and story sophistication in his Beowulfmpointed toward James Cameron’s Avatar, Mars Needs Moms points toward a ride at Disneyland.
This film from Zemickis' ImageMovers Digit

al and, appropriately, Walt Disney Pictures has been shot and on accommodating screens will be projected in Disney Digital 3D as well as in Imax 3D. So Mars will certainly be a treat for younger family members. But for teens on up the generational scale, the interest level will plummet drastically.
For that matter, it will be interesting to see how Mars in its first week fares against Rango, an animated film with considerable sophistication and outreach to older audiences, in its second weekend. As with his A Christmas Carol movie, Zemeckis paints himself into a digital corner by ignoring adults.
Mars does do one thing much better than A Christmas Carol, however: It has emotions. After all, it is based on a children’s novel by cartoonist Berkeley Breathed, who admits the book came in reaction to a disobedient son expressing keen dissatisfaction with even having a (nagging) mother. Consequently, the entire story about a mom kidnapped by Martians and her rescue by her young son bubbles over with emotions. It’s an illustrated laundry lists all the things moms do for their kids -- and that would include the laundry.
For this film, Zemeckis turns directing chores over to Simon Wells, who directed The Time Machine and co-directed the animated The Prince of Egypt. Wells and his wife Wendy adapted the Breathed book with nearly every plot turn driving home the point that kids need moms.
Milo, age 9, is the focal point. He is enacted by Seth Green and voiced by a much younger Seth named Seth Dusky, age 11.The estimable Joan Cusack is Mom but since she spends most of the time under lock and key, the major roles fall to an extremely funny Dan Folger as Mars’ only other human, a disheveled techo-wiz named Gribble; Elisabeth Harnois as Ki, a rebellious young Martian who learned English watching ‘70s sitcoms; and Mindy Sperling as the humorless, nasty Martian leader whose body appears as mummified as her heart.
Designer Doug Chiang has a grand time turning the Red Planet into a giant fun ride from those loopy Martians with triangular heads, no real noses and otherworldly bodies and gaits to an underground world of stark simplicity and sterility. Females run the place while men -- Gribble calls them the Hairy Tribe Guys -- get tossed down chutes with the garbage as they’re apparently the most expendable resource on the planet.
The entire movie is set up as a race against the clock by Milo to save his mom but the film finds time to take in the Martian civilization in passing, a gag-filled and mostly lighthearted re-imagining of our own world if women ruled.
(It is odd though how a movie meant to glorify moms is so riddled with anti-feminist concepts. These are, of course, Martian females not human ones but still …)
Anachronistic dialogue rules for the most part as not only does Ki brim with the hep lingo of the Flower Children era, but Gribble, who is thirty-something, is stuck forever in the ‘80s when he left planet Earth.
The movie shrugs off any real attempt at science fiction other than oxygen helmets for the surface of Mars. The characters still dash around those surfaces in short sleeves in what should be an 87 degrees climate and make the round trip from Earth to Mars, which should take about 18 months, in a half minute.
The skill level of this motion capture animation is getting better all the time. So Mars is accomplished at every level. But the three most important things in movies are story, story, story so the movie never comes off as the considerable achievement it truly is.

In the very first sequence of Fast Five, former federal officer Brian O’Conner (Paul Walker) slams on the brakes of his muscle car, and a bus slams into it at an angle. If you are a fan of physics — or just happen to live on this planet — you can guess what should happen. If you guessed that the muscle car would be obliterated, welcome to the human race. If you guessed that the car would cause the much, much heavier bus to flip over spectacularly, then welcome to the world of Fast Five.

It is with this intro that you are given the rules to the universe of the film you are about to watch. At every bend, there is a casual disregard to the laws of nature; almost a “take that, physics” approach to life. And that is fine. The Fast and Furious series is an escapist fantasy. We watch the $100,000 cars driven by beautiful women and tough men, then we jump in our beat up Civics and station wagons and drive home, probably a little faster than we should. You don’t want to put too much thought into the logic of it, and honestly, reality would only get in the way of enjoying this series.

But a bigger issue for the franchise than just its propensity for flipping off science: How do you keep a series fresh after five outings? There are only so many ways to race, and explosions can only get so big (although don’t tell that to Michael Bay). The answer is that you take what works about the series and shift it subtly into a new direction that is original, but doesn’t feel alien to the franchise. That is what director Justin Lin has done by making Fast Five into something of a traditional “heist” movie. And it not only helps to breathe life into the franchise, it helps to deliver the best movie of the series to date.

Have car, will travel

The fifth Fast and Furious installment picks up exactly where the last movie ended, with Dominic Toretto (Vin Diesel) on his way to prison while O’Conner and Dom’s sister Mia (Jordana Brewster) lead an assault to free him. After the rescue, O’Conner and Mia, both very much in love, head to Rio to rendezvous with Dom, and end up staying with Vince (Matt Schulze), the stereotypical “angry guy” from the first film. He has a job for them, and when Dom shows up, they all head off to steal cars. Off a train.

Things go bad quickly, and after a physics-be-damned style escape, the group is being hunted by the resident kingpin of Rio, Herman Reyes (Joaquin de Almeida), because of something they accidently took with them. Mia soon admits that she is preggers, which inspires Dom and O’Conner to eschew running from the forces closing in on them, and instead pull off one massive job that will set them all up for life and cripple Reyes’ operation. But to pull it off, they need a team.

The team is a collection of the Fast and Furious all-stars throughout the years. From the second film 2 Fast 2 Furious, Roman Pearce (Tyrese Gibson) and Tej Parker (Chris “Ludacris” Bridges) return. From the third film The Fast And the Furious: Tokyo Drift, Han Lue (Sung Kang) appears. From the previous film, Fast & Furious, Tego Leo (Tego Calderon), Rico Santos (Don Omar) and Gisele Harabo (Gal Gadot) fill out the crew.

Unbeknownst to the super friends, an elite DSS agent, Luke Hobbs (Dwayne Johnson) is on their trail, and with the help of local Rio officer Elena Neves (Elsa Pataky) and a group of highly trained agents, he sees it as his duty to bring them all to justice.



The many moving pieces

In terms of continuity, here is the strangest part of the film. Fast Five is the fifth movie in the series, but like its predecessor Fast & Furious, it takes place before the events of The Fast And The Furious: Tokyo Drift which is last film in terms of continuity. The only reason to do this is to include Sung Kang’s character of Han, who died in the third film. Now, Han is a good character, and Kang is undeniably a charismatic actor, but it feels a bit like buyers’ remorse than anything else — the producers obviously regret having killed him. It doesn’t make any difference to the story to have Tokyo Drift set in the future, but it might confuse some.

For this series, the change to the heist theme feels natural and right. Fast Five is in many ways closer in tone to movies like The Italian Job, or even Ocean’s 11 than it is to the previous films in the series. In fact, there is very little racing at all in the movie, and only one extended driving sequence at the end. It was a fairly bold move at that. There is one scene where a car race is about to happen, but it skips the actual racing to further the plot. While it is somewhat counterintuitive to say about a franchise based around fast cars, impossibly beautiful women and the like, the series has actually matured. At least a bit. While there is still a ton of ridiculous action, it is not thrown in just to look good, it all serves a purpose.

Each of the characters has a part to play, and while it is always hard to stand out in an ensemble cast, the actors all compliment each other and mesh surprisingly well. In fact, it is something of an accomplishment in itself to have so many big name stars work together, and that is a testament to Lin.

You can almost feel the growth of Justin Lin into a solid action director over the course of the last three Fast and Furious movies. Lin has always had an eye for action, even when he was just starting out and filming on next to no budget with films like Better Luck Tomorrow. As he has learned and grown as a filmmaker, the way he frames scenes has drastically improved, as has his eye for color and aesthetics — something that was at times an issue in the previous film. It’ll be interesting to see where Lin goes from here. Hollywood is currently in love with him, and he is attached to direct the next Terminator starring Arnold Schwarzenegger, so his name may be one that you hear for years to come.

The rest of the crew turns in solid preformances as well, and you can almost feel that they had a good time making this movie. Despite the intense action, this is a movie you are meant to have fun with, and having actors enjoying themselves is important in selling it. Perhaps the most difficult role to play in the film was also perhaps the best cast—that of DSS Agent Hobbs, played by Dwayne Johnson. On paper, the role is fairly bland. You have a dogged federal agent that isn’t particularly funny or likeable, trying to stop the antiheroes that you have become invested in after four previous movies. Johnson is, and always has been undeniably charismatic, and few can convey as much without saying a word as he can. It was an inspired casting choice, and further proof that Johnson deserves the success he has earned. A less actor in this role could have killed this movie dead and made an interesting plot line cringe-worthy. In fact, with so many moving parts in this film, any one of a handful of badly cast actors could have derailed the entire film, but it all works well.

Diesel again plays Vin Diesel, while Walker has nearly perfected the art of acting while looking perpetually stoned. Whether you love or hate them, your opinion probably won’t change much based on this film. But of the two, Diesel is unquestionably the focus, and so he should be. While Fast Five isn’t going to make AFI’s top 100 movies of all-time list, it is an entertaining film thanks partly to the performances that most will enjoy, as long as you don’t think too much about the details.



Conclusion

Fast Five isn’t high art, nor is it trying to be. There is so much testosterone in this movie that even women in the audience may leave with a mustache. It fulfills the traditional summer movie pre-requisites and has a ton of explosions, gun battles and fistfights, just like you would expect. In that sense, it is a very, very traditional film. If you are looking for that one unique snowflake in the snow storm of summer movies, this aint it.

It is, however, the best film in a series bred for its visual extravaganzas. Films like this can go three ways. They can veers towards the ridiculous, as they did with 2 Fast 2 Furious, they can repeat the same formula over and over as they did with the third and fourth films, or they can do something a bit ballsier and take the franchise in a different direction altogether. It doesn’t have to be a wholly original direction, just original for the series. In this case it worked, and likely saved the franchise. A sixth movie has already been greenlit, and while it might at first glance seem over saturation to film six movies based on an action franchise like this, the fifth movie has proved that there is enough life left in the series to justify it. It helps that Fast Five was already released internationally, and in eight days has made back over $30 million of its $125 million budget, so odds are it is going to do alright at the box office.

By the way, make sure to stay through the first block of credits to see a scene with a few surprises that set up the sequel.

While Fast Five isn’t the type of movie that will appeal to the art house crowd in even the smallest way, it is what it intends to be — a summer popcorn movie that is beating the other big name summer films to the theaters by a few weeks (or a week, counting Thor). If you enjoyed the previous films, then you will leave pleasantly surprised at how they have managed to resuscitate the franchise. The action is unbelievable — literally unbelievable — and physics take a punch in the nose, but the film does so with a wink and a nod to the audience, so you accept it. If you can’t, then you are in trouble.

For a fifth film in a franchise, Fast Five offers a slightly mindless, but fully enjoyable heist movie starring a cast of up-and-comers, borderline A-list stars, and directed by a guy who will likely be a household name in the future. Although it isn’t quite summer yet, Fast Five has begun the summer movie season on a good note.

Gnomeo & Juliet is a CG-animated send-up of the William Shakespeare tale of star-crossed lovers that's set in the world of ... plaster garden gnomes. And it's chock full of songs by Elton John, who also executive produced the film. Bear with me. It's not as bad as it sounds.

Set in Shakespeare's birthplace of Stratford-Upon-Avon, this 3D film directed by Shrek 2's Kelly Asbury follows feuding neighbors Mr. Capulet (voiced by Richard Wilson) and Miss Montague (voiced by Julie Walters), whose rivalry has even extended to their respective garden gnomes (with one set colored red and the other blue). But can a forbidden romance between a Red (Juliet, voiced by Emily Blunt) and a Blue (Gnomeo, voice of James McAvoy) bring the two sides together and end the feud (as well as rewrite the grim end of Shakespeare's original)?

The voice cast also includes Michael Caine as Juliet's father Lord Redbrick, Jason Statham as Gnomeo's nemesis Tybalt, Maggie Smith as Lady Bluebury, Patrick Stewart as Bill Shakespeare, Ashley Jensen as Juliet's confidante Nanette, Stephen Merchant as Paris, Matt Lucas as Gnomeo's pal Benny, and Jim Cummings as the plastic pink flamingo Featherstone.

Like most people, I didn't think much at all when they first heard of Gnomeo & Juliet. But it turns out it's less like Hoodwinked! and more like this year's Cloudy With a Chance of Meatballs, another toon with low expectations that turned out to be a pleasant surprise. It could become the next Shrek-size franchise (and with the potential of increasingly charmless sequels); of course, unless it finds an audience it will be the new Igor.


Gnomeo & Juliet has surprisingly racy undertones for a G-rated movie (the gnome hats are obvious fodder), which means there's plenty of subtext here for adults to enjoy even as the kids are amused by what's on the surface. There's also the bevy of classic Elton John tunes that have been reworked for the film, which adults will know and kids will likely discover here (perhaps they only know him as the guy who sang songs for 1990s Disney cartoons). Overall, this is pretty much Kitsch: The Motion Picture.

The goofy and whimsical Gnomeo & Juliet may have a thin premise to it, but so did a certain animated movie about toys that come to life. (No, not Small Soldiers.) While the gimmick of sending up Shakespeare may be lost on kids -- who will enjoy the movie's colorful palette, silly characters and overall cuteness -- older and more literate viewers will appreciate the satirical bits peppered throughout the film. If you'd like a cheeky and cheerful animated romp, you could do worse than this little (no pun intended) film.

"Beloved, believe not every spirit, but try the spirits whether they are of God: because many false prophets are gone out into the world." —1st John 4:1

Oprah is the Most Dangerous Woman in the World!

Why you ask? According to Oprah Winfrey's introduction page on the internet, the Oprah Winfrey Show is the highest rated talk show in television history, seen by 15-20 million viewers each day in the U.S., and in 132 other countries. Yet Oprah NEVER shares the Gospel of Jesus Christ with her fans. In fact, Oprah denied Jesus in front of millions of viewers. The Word of God plainly teaches that the ONLY Way to salvation is by Jesus Christ (John 14:6). Oprah denies this Truth.

Oprah's show has been the number one talk show for 12 consecutive seasons. Since it's beginning in 1986 it has received 32 Emmy awards. In 1996, Oprah began Oprah's Book Club designed to get America reading again. Each of the books selected has become an instant bestseller averaging sales of over 1 million copies each. In 1997, Oprah was named Newsweek's "Most Important Person" in books and media, T.V. Guide's "Television Performer of the Year," the People's Choice Award for "Favorite Television Performer," and in 1996, Time Magazine recognized Oprah as one of America's "25 Most Influential People." This is why Oprah is so dangerous... she has massive influence over millions of people and is tragically using it to lead them straight into the fires of Hell.


Oprah Teaches and promotes New Age Heresy

Tragically, America is obsessed with celebrity idol worship! If you don't believe it, do a web search under "idol" and watch the celebrities start popping up. Consider the show "American Idol." It is evil idolatry. Instead of people seeking the Truth for themselves, they foolishly rely upon New Agers like Oprah who teach and promote damnable heresies.

Please understand that I don't condemn anyone, for the Bible condemns all of us as guilty, dirty, rotten, hell-deserving sinners. My salvation solely rests in Christ's righteousness, because of the precious blood that He gave for our sins. My intention is not to be unkind; but rather, to expose false teachings that lead people into the Lake of Fire.

Oprah is extremely dangerous because she is leading millions of people (especially women) into the New Age movement and away from Jesus Christ. Oprah is a wolf in sheep's clothing (Matthew 7:15) who's leading multitudes into Hell.

Unsaved people who would never listen to a preacher or the Bible ARE LISTENING to Oprah! She has power over millions of people, yet Oprah propagates a demonic message of spiritism and New Age doctrines. 1st Timothy 4:1 warns, "Now the Spirit speaketh expressly, that in the latter times some shall depart from the faith, giving heed to seducing spirits, and doctrines of devils." "New Age" is nothing new, it is simply a modern conglomerate of all sorts of pagan and Eastern religions. All straight from Hell. New Age is a religious movement that is centered in SELF — all you need is within — with no defined order of sin, repentance or salvation! You become your own god! The people worship the god of forces and promote The Aquarian Gospel of Jesus Christ.


The Pagan Gospel of the New Age

The gospel according to the New Age Movement is an expansive idea centered around the birth of a new world “consciousness.” As a religion of monism (all is one), New Agers hope to accomplish what the builders of the Tower of Babel failed to do—unify the masses of the world under a single religious umbrella, and, at the macro level, harmonically converge the world’s energies with the power of Gaia. To promote such goals, New Agers claim that God is pantheistic (God is all and all is God) and that humans are divine members of the whole “that God is.”

According to New Ageism, Jesus came to reveal this pantheistic nature of God and to teach humanity the gospel of Self-Realization. After illustrating the divine principle of “God within us all,” Jesus ascended to a place of distinction to live among the Masters of the Spiritual Hierarchy—Buddha and Krishna. Jesus promised that the essence of God would be revealed from time to time, and thus New Agers look for the imminent appearing of a World Teacher who will, as Jesus did, illustrate the divine human potential. In this way, New Age theology prepares the world for the coming of the False Prophet and the Antichrist. These are the false teachings of the New Age Movement.


Oprah says, "I Surrender All," but it's NOT to Jesus Christ

It's been in the news recently that Oprah Winfrey was moved when she heard invited guest, Faith Hill, singing the Gospel song "I Surrender All," during a practice rehearsal. The video shows an audience member moved to tears and Faith Hill emotionally moved by Oprah's story. Oprah tells how she desperately wanted a part in a 1985 Steven Spielberg movie, The Color Purple." Oprah says she went to a fat-farm to try to lose some extra pounds. While there, she said she couldn't bare the pressure anymore and just started praying, singing, and crying. She said she sang "I Surrender All," while giving up her obsession to be in the movie part. Sadly, Oprah never makes any mention of the name which is above every other name, the name of JESUS!

Here's a quote from Oprah concerning her favorite Gospel song...

"'I Surrender All' is one of my favorite songs. … And it lives in my spirit because I try to surrender everything—I surrender my life, I surrender my doings, I surrender my experiences—because I know that God can dream a bigger dream than we can dream for ourselves."

— Oprah on the significance of her favorite gospel song
Lest you should be naively deceived by Oprah's seeming love for God, please read the following words by Oprah. This is Oprah's mediation from the Live Your Best Life Tour in 2001...

"I'd like to turn down the lights.
Close your eyes. Take a deep breath.
I do this meditation in my tub. Sometimes at Harpo. Sometimes sitting in my living room.
As you close your eyes, take three deep breaths, and on the third, follow your breath as you inhale and exhale.
Follow your breath. Follow your breath…
Oh God, my heart is open to you.
Come sit in my heart.
If you're not comfortable with the word God, it doesn't matter.
Oh, glorious future, my heart is open to you…
All that is divine, my heart is open to you…
All that is love, peace, comfort, grace, joy. My heart is open to you.
Come sit in my heart.
Please know that on this day, you can begin to move forward in your life in a grander, bolder direction. The universe is waiting, willing, joyfully, gloriously, to support you.
All that is love, my heart is open to you.
Come sit in my heart.
The universe is not interested in your struggles and your pain and your sorrow. It wants you to be joyful. We often struggle because we choose to swim upstream.
All that is God, my heart is open to you.
My heart is open to find the flow,
the flow, the flow, the flow that is my life.
I am willing to surrender to the flow that is my life.
Oh, glorious future.
My heart is open to you.
Come sit in my heart.
Oh, glorious future. I surrender my life
to be used to the purpose that is my
soul's calling.
How will you use me? How can I be used?
Use me.
Use my talents.
Use my wit.
Use my skill.
Use my heart.
Use me.
How can I be used to serve the greater calling that is my life?
That is the question.
I surrender to that.
I surrender to that. (Oprah surrendered to her own selfish life, NOT to Jesus Christ!)
I leave this place grateful for the life that I have created now.
I am so grateful for, I am so grateful for, I am so grateful for my life.
I am so grateful for the possibilities.
I am so grateful for the possibilities of my life.
I open my heart to you.
Slowly open your eyes. And know this: I am so grateful for you. Thank you"

Blasphemy! Whoa! Oprah is way out in left field doctrinally! Oprah needs to find the Word of God desperately. The only thing that Oprah has surrendered to is demonic heresy!

First of all Oprah, if you're not comfortable with the word "God"... TOUGH! God is God and you can't recreate Him in your own twisted concepts. Jesus Christ is God (Isaiah 9:6; John 1:1-3,14;10:33; 1st Timothy 3:16; Revelation 1:8 (All Scriptures from the preserved King James Bible).

Secondly, Oprah says "All that is divine, my heart is open to you..." This is the vague, wishy-washy terms of the New Age crowd. Only God is Divine Oprah! If you want to speak to Divinity, then you must pray to the Godhead: God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit. There is NO other Divine being. Oprah is praying to demonic spirits.

Oprah says, "The universe is not interested in your struggles and your pain and your sorrow..." "The universe" Oprah? The Word of God teaches that God is very much interested in our struggles and pain and sorrow. 1st Peter 5:7 reads, "Casting all your care upon him; for he careth for you." Psalm 57:1 reads, "Be merciful unto me, O God, be merciful unto me: for my soul trusteth in thee: yea, in the shadow of thy wings will I make my refuge, until these calamities be overpast." The Bible teaches that when we are struggling or down that we are to go to the Lord Jesus Christ for refuge... under the shadow of the Almighty (Psalm 91:1). Oprah never mentions the Bible in any of her teachings. The reason is obvious, she is an unsaved heretic.

Oprah says, "My heart is open to find the flow, the flow, the flow, the flow that is my life." This is Devilish doctrine. New Age doctrines/practices (such as Kundalini Yoga) teach that there are seven "Chakras" (or spiritual doorways) within the body through which energy flows. They teach that each planet has a presiding god (demon) over it. They believe that these channels of energy can be tapped into through meditation, yoga, acupuncture, etc. Holistic medicine is also based upon this concept known as Yin and Yang. When Oprah speaks of the "flow," she is talking about demonic sources of spiritual energy, NOT the Holy Spirit of God. The Holy Spirit of God ALWAYS works through the Word of God. John 1:1-3 declares that Jesus Christ is the Living Word of God. Also see Revelation 19:13 where Jesus' name is called the "Word of God."

You CANNOT separate Jesus Christ from the Spirit of God, for He is the Spirit of God. Romans 8:9 reads, "But ye are not in the flesh, but in the Spirit, if so be that the Spirit of God dwell in you. Now if any man have not the Spirit of Christ, he is none of his." Oprah does NOT have God's Spirit, but a demonic spirit. We are clearly taught in 1st John 4:1 to "try" (or test) the spirits to see if they are of God or not, "Beloved, believe not every spirit, but try the spirits whether they are of God: because many false prophets are gone out into the world." The ONLY true test is the Word of God. John 17:17 tells us that the Word of God is Truth! Ephesians 6:17 tells us that the Word of God is our sword with which to fight darkness, "And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God." Oprah FAILS all tests when her teachings are tested to the Eternal, Inspired, Infallible, Preserved Word of God.

Oprah says, "How can I be used to serve the greater calling that is my life? That is the question. I surrender to that." Oprah TELLS ON HERSELF here by saying that she was only surrendering to "THE GREATER CALLING THAT IS MY LIFE." Since when is one's personal life the "greater calling." Again, let's test Oprah teachings to the Word of God. Revelation 4:11 proclaims, "Thou art worthy, O Lord, to receive glory and honour and power: for thou hast created all things, and for thy pleasure they are and were created." God created mankind to please Him...period! Hebrews 11:6 teaches that it is IMPOSSIBLE to please God without faith.

Faith is our obedience and trust upon Jesus Christ, the Living Word... and the Bible, God's Written Word. There is NO other way to please God. Oprah's words sound very selfish and self-centered, which is exactly what New Age is all about. Listen friend, Oprah is going to burn in Hell if she doesn't repent and turn to Jesus Christ in faith. I ask you to come to Jesus as your Saviour, trusting upon the Precious blood which He shed for your sins upon the cross. Come to Jesus now as a sinner, and ask Him to forgive you of your sins, believing upon Him as your ONLY way to heaven (Acts 16:31; Romans 10:13).
"Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me." —John 14:6


The Cult of Oprah

"NEW YORK — On her television program, in her magazine and on tour, she moves audiences to tears with stories of spirituality, strength and the liberating power she's found within.

Scores of fans — mostly women — follow her across the country, live by her words and practically worship her. They listen to the self-help gurus she interviews, read the books she suggests and stick to the diets she swears by. They even want her to run for president someday.

"Dear Oprah, I believe in your spirit. You are truly a wonderful woman who has made me laugh, made me cry, made me open my eyes to many things," writes fan Lissa Pitcock on the "Gifts From the Heart" Oprah tribute Web site. "You have saved my life without ever knowing it. ... You are my hero, to be sure!"

There's no doubt Winfrey has become a powerful influence in her fans' lives. But has the sensation evolved into the Cult of Oprah? Some cult experts say that's not such a stretch.

"The definition of 'cult' as 'harmful group' doesn't apply to Oprah," said Joe Szimhart, a cult-information specialist and former exit counsellor. "But certainly 'cult' as 'devotional activity surrounding a charismatic person' does."

Winfrey was mentioned at a recent national cult conference in Connecticut, according to Philadelphia-area expert David Clark. A former Bible-based cult member who later worked as an exit counsellor, Clark said attendees recommended Winfrey get cult-awareness training so she would be attuned to how people can be brainwashed.

"My main concern is Oprah's long history with New Age people," Clark said.

Clark remembers Winfrey criticizing brainwashing early in her TV career. Since then, he said, she's been associated with New Age spirituality gurus whose messages and tactics have some cult-like qualities.

Guests who have appeared on Oprah to promote mystical philosophies include Gary Zukav, who offers "spiritual guidance," and self-proclaimed "lifestyle-makeover expert" Cheryl Richardson. Winfrey has also been aligned with New Age-religion author Marianne Williamson and celebrities who promote similar beliefs, such as actress Shirley MacLaine and spiritualist Deepak Chopra." --By Catherine Donaldson-Evans | August 02, 2001

"Winfrey inspires 22 million weekly U.S. talk-show viewers, 2 million magazine readers and 115 million visitors to her Web site (http://www.oprah.com/) with philosophical insights and suggestions to practice meditation, yoga and online journal-writing. 'This place of...connecting to something deeper within ourselves is available at every moment,' Winfrey writes in one of her Web journal entries. 'The more stressful and chaotic things are on the outside, the calmer I have to get on the inside ... I can just go inside myself ... go back to my center — and remember what is most important.' --By Catherine Donaldson-Evans | August 02, 2001

One thing is clear, Oprah needs Jesus Christ desperately. I did NOT write this article to be unkind at all, nor to attack Oprah. I simply wrote this article to WARN everyone that Oprah is a false prophet, a wolf in sheep's clothing.

"In flaming fire taking vengeance on them that know not God, and that obey not the gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ"

Marketers trying to keep pace with Twitter and Facebook may want to check out another emerging social media platform: Tumblr.

At first blush, Tumblr, described as a “blogging platform,” which aggregates online content on a particular theme (like, say, skateboarding), doesn’t seem to have an obvious marketing application. But IBM, EMI and Universal Music have all discovered that creating a tumbleblog (a term that preceded the two-year-old Tumblr’s existence) is a good way to help control the message online, reward fans and, in IBM’s case, position oneself as a thought leader on a given topic.

IBM began using Tumblr last fall as part of its Smarter Planet initiative, which was based on a November 2008 speech by CEO Sam Palmisano that posited that in an interconnected world, smarter solutions to problems like wasted energy, gridlocked cities and our antiquated healthcare system will come easier.

IBM ran TV ads from Ogilvy & Mather, New York, on the Smarter Planet theme, but it also has a blog and a tumbleblog related to the idea. The tumbleblog aggregates content from news sources like Information Week and The Wall Street Journal. A heading for “smarter healthcare,” for instance, includes a link to a Boston Globe story on a device developed in South Africa that can help prevent Sudden Infant Death Syndome by monitoring a baby’s movements—if it doesn’t detect any in 15 seconds it vibrates and then, if the baby hasn’t responded, it sounds an alarm.

Marketers can provide such links via blogs, but Tumblr makes it easier to aggregate content like news articles and video. Like Twitter, you can also “follow” a tumbleblog you like. Users can also hit a “like” button or reblog the post onto their own Tumblr page, making the blog items more viral. Adam Christensen, social media manager for IBM, said the idea is to drive online conversation. “It certainly raises awareness for the kinds of things that IBM is working on,” he said. “We don’t want it to be just about IBM, and Tumblr gives us a holistic view.”

At the same time, though, Tumblr can also help a marketer like IBM control its message online in ways that aren’t possible via Facebook and Twitter. Tumblr CEO David Karp said that music artists like Katy Perry and Lenny Kravitz were the first to embrace the platform, and earlier this year labels EMI and Universal Music followed suit. Karp said that marketers who go on Twitter, for instance, find that they are “having weird conversations with the public” and using the platform to short circuit public relations disasters.

In contrast, he said, Tumblr is a way to both control the message and to reward your most loyal consumers by offering them a platform via aggregating their blog posts. “You can find the most positive voices in the community and link to them,” he said. “You can vindicate them and turn yourself into a positive force.”

Michael Arauz, a strategist at Undercurrent, a digital shop in New York, said he believes Tumblr opens up the possibility of letting a marketer present itself as a curator on the Web. He suggests, though, that brands pick a specific issue like IBM did, rather than try to merely reflect its brand personality via Tumblr. “Pick something specific,” he said. “It’s really about showing what’s important to your brand.”

Oh, like it could have been anyone else. Paris Hilton is easily the queen of hated celebrities, to the point that people are cheering for her to go to jail for driving with a suspended license. Sure, you've got your Internet videos and reality shows, but nothing beats just plain old Paris living her spoiled, arrogant life. Ah, when it comes to our most hated celebrities, we'll always have Paris!

Paris Hilton (66 votes) – People continue to hate on Paris even though she didn’t do anything all that despicable in 2008. Miss Hilton had a ho-hum year considering some of the more shocking things that happened to her last year, when she spent time in prison for being a drunk-driving mess. David Letterman had a great time making fun of her on his show early in the year and even former Presidential candidate John McCain used her in one of his campaign ads to compare Barack Obama’s sudden fame to that of Hilton’s talentless ride to the top. It does seem that she was beaten down pretty bad while she was dating the scum that is Benji Madden for most of 2008. To cap the year off thieves stole more than $2 million dollars of jewelry from her home in December. It’s easy to hate someone in this economy that is keeping that much jewelry at their home. She repeats as the ‘Most Hated Celeb’ of the year, having won Bumpshack’s inaugural ‘Most Hated Celeb’s award back in 2006. We love you Paris! - Bumpshack (Joshua Holmes)

Spencer Pratt/Heidi Montag (60 votes) – Seriously, do we need a reason to hate these two? Spencer Pratt and Heidi Montag are the most pimped out couple to come out of MTV’s pseudo-reality show “The Hills” and they couldn’t be any faker. From fake virginity, fake boobs, fake pregnancy, fake marriage to the most unbelievable quotes and publicity stunts, they are the lowest low of American society. We always see them out doing nothing but posing for the cameras and we often realize there couldn’t be two people more perfect for each other. They are both so futile and have absolutely no brains at all, we hope they live happily ever after in their pseudo world of flash bulbs and tabloid headlines. - Gossip Teen (Gossip Gal)

Madonna (53 votes) -Here is the issue with Madonna. You are either a die hard fan or the thought of her is like nails on a chalk board. This is a woman who was an iconic figure that fearlessly pioneered trends, but recently fell into a vast pit of desperation. Whether she is trying to pass off a faux British accent or dominate the world via Britney Spears…this is a creature that feels she can do no wrong. So, we are her minions and her sad attempts at recapturing her youth involve young male models named Jesus. Sounds like a perfectly good match made in egotistical heaven. – Celebrity Smack!

Tom Cruise (50 votes) – He has tried to apologize and rectify his media mistakes in 2008, but it was all to no avail. Despite his countless recent interviews from Oprah to The Hills After Show, his loony antics of years past (jumping on Oprah’s couch, calling out Brooke Shields, insulting Matt Lauer and pushing his cult on America) pretty much sealed his demise. As we revisited his 25th anniversary in Hollywood this year, we all realized that he is a long way gone from classics like Risky Business, Top Gun & Rain Man. Sorry, Tom… Valkyrie just ain’t cuttin’ it these days. Your Interview With the Vampire co-star Brad Pitt still has our hearts, and you don’t even have our pity. But hey, keep your chin up- you did produce a freakishly cute child. Tom is only the second celebrity to make both this list and the ‘Most Hated Celebs’ list from two years ago. – Backseat Cuddler (Meg)

John Mayer (44 votes) – John Mayer is man who has made it his quest in life to annoy and remain relevant by press whoring himself with Hollywood women. His current victim is Jennifer Aniston which just amplifies his level of smug. If he isn’t out drumming up some exposure for himself, he is bitching about the media via his blog. John’s talent is outshined by his superiority complex and self worshiping. Most women are begging for men to open up about their feelings, but this is one guy I wish would shut the hell up already. – Hollywood Dame (Cara)

Kanye West (32 votes) – All hail Kanye West, “the voice of this generation.” Kanye West, we hear you talking but no one is listening. If he really is the voice of this generation then we are all doomed. Kanye’s arrogance is unbelievably annoying almost as much as his crying and childish temper tantrums he throws at award shows when he does not win. Graduation to maturity seems to be something that even Kanye can’t sample. Even George W. Bush hates Kanye. – Stupid Celebrities (Jeff)

O.J. Simpson (29 votes) – What’s there to say about O.J. this year, other than the fact every human being in the world belives justice was finally delivered, albeit fourteen years later than it should have been. While he walked free after being acquitted of charges of double homicide following the 1994 murders of ex-wife Nicole Brown Simpson and friend Ron Goldman, Simpson has been staring at the inside of a correctional facility since his October 3, 2008 conviction for numerous felonies including robbery with a deadly weapon and burglary with a firearm. His conviction for the crimes will lock O.J. away for the next fifteen years. What happens in Las Vegas in-fact doesn’t always stay in Las Vegas for the token-busty blonde abuser. Nicole Simpson and Goldman unfortunately can’t pen a book with the title “If We Were Murdered”. If they could, I’m sure that they’d be able to sway you as to why O.J. is so hated. – Jesus Hearts Music (Tim)

Perez Hilton (28 votes) – Perez has somehow made a name for himself by drawing on pictures and outing homosexuals. His sense of humor is bad lately too…I used to think he was funny, but now I think he’s just crude. How many pictures of celebrities do we need to see with bodily fluids dripping off of their faces? Give the facial art a rest big girl. Lately, paparazzi photos have appeared with him in them as the celebrity or sidekick, and he has taken every opportunity to flaunt them on his site. As if someone really wants to see what he really looks like. Okay, maybe I’m just jealous that he can charge $54,000 for ads on his site. – Knocked Up Celebs (Taylor Blue)

Rosie O’Donnell (26 votes) – This “woman” is plague on society. Rosie use to shine on her own talk show back in the day. It was a hit and I even enjoyed watching it back in the 90′s. Her career has been steadily going downhill since then. Rosie is nuts! After she bombed ‘The View”‘, I thought we would finally be rid of Rosie. But, NO! She had to try once again to win over America and this time she barely got her foot in the door. NBC tried her out on a pathetic variety show, ‘Rosie Live’. America screamed back by not watching and giving the show the worst ratings of the night. The show was quickly dropped and that was that. We have had enough of this frumpy, overbearing eyesore that just won’t go away. – Backseat Cuddler (Jennifer G)

Denise Richards (23 votes) – Her reality TV show, ‘It’s Complicated,’ made her look so bad that most of us, who were unfortunate to watch it, finally started to actually see why Charlie Sheen might have been banging every stripper this side of Encino while he was married to the self absorbed and shallow Richards. Denise is so hated that she made Charlie look like the good guy in their split and that is no small accomplishment. She should be eternally grateful to whoever did the casting for her role in ‘Wild Things’ which made her famous and for reality TV for extending said fame an additional 15 minutes. – Bumpshack (Joshua Holmes)

DO YOU AGREE?

I’m not convinced that mini-PCs are the way to go but many people are. They love the idea of having all the computing power of a full-sized desktop crammed into a container that’s smaller than most novels. Stealth has been making mini-PCs that fit the bill for years but the new LPC-670 PC may just be the cream of the crop.



Sure, you get to choose between Intel’s Arrandale Core i5-520M, Core i5-580M, or Core i7-620M processors and can slap in up to 8GB of DDR# RAM to make your machine as fast as you need it but with a price tag of over $1,650 for the base model even that might not be enough computer for the cash.

In addition to the hardware listed above you can opt for up to 750 GB of storage on a 2.5 inch hard drive. Optical drive options include Blu-ray and DVD read/write drives. Oddly enough, some of the things we’ve come to think of as obligatory on full-sized PCs or even netbooks (such as built-in WiFi, HDMI, and gigabit Ethernet ports) are conspicuously optional on the LPC-670. Presumably that’s so you can fine tune your PC to fit your needs but it seems a little backward to have to pay for any of that.

Head on over to the official Stealth website for all the details.

So a mouse is a mouse is a mouse, right? Sort of. We know that they all do the same thing but the varying degrees of success you might have controlling your input with bargain basement mouses is probably a little frustrating. If you want a mouse that’s easy to use (no programmable macros here) and gets the job done the way you want it to without breaking the bank you should check out Logitech’s newest—the M325.

It’s a wireless little performer that promises to be more precise than any other you’ve ever paid under $50 for. That’s because Logitech has tripled the average number of teeth in the cogs of the scroll wheel, added a super-precise laser, and glued on some really nice rubber grips. It’s simple, understated, and just plain nice to use.



To top it off, this mouse has an estimated 18 month battery life (with moderate use) that means your power needs won’t make up for the $40 price tag even when you measure the effective life in years.

However, like I said before, the M325 is just a mouse. There’s nothing fancy here and if you’re an above average PC user, you might want something with a little more pizzazz. For everybody else, the M325 wireless mouse is worth it.

Did I mention it uses Logitech’s Unifying Receiver? So, if you’ve already got one, you have a spare!

Hit up the official Logitech website for more info.

Toshiba, the once and (some would say) future king of laptops has announced the launch of their newest model—the Toshiba Portege R380. The machine is lean, mean, and ready to do business. Modeled after the Portege R700—slim, sleek, and stylish—the 13.3 inch R830 has a lot of the features users have come to expect from the Portege line with a few surprises thrown in for good measure.

Inside the R830 runs on a Sandy Bridge processor combined with a speedy 7200 RPM hard drive or the optional 128GB solid state drive. Upgrade to the optional AMD Radeon graphics setup and you’ll get 1GB of dedicated RAM—enough for most business uses and some casual gaming.



Another interesting addition is the USB 3.0 port, allowing lightning fast data transfer if you so happen to have a USB 3.0 peripheral or thumb drive. Sadly, the HDMI port is actually optional—a strange thing in an era where everyone is obsessed with HD graphics.

You’ll get the obligatory WiFi though (802.11 b/g/n) and Toshiba even threw in Bluetooth 3.0.

While the internals aren’t exactly impressive, they certainly make for a capable machine and Toshiba is hoping that style will sell the R830, much like it did the R700. The case is slim, black, and manufactured from molded plastic that’s supposed to look like alloy but won’t interfere with wireless signals. The lightweight materials means the laptop weighs just 5.3 pounds but is roughly 19 percent thinner and 6 percent lighter than the venerable R700.

Pricing on these puppies starts around $1,000.

Hit up the Toshiba website for all the details.

Alienware PCs have always been flashy. From the extraterrestrial green glow to the bug-eyed “Grey” staring you in the face it’s clear that the company values its image almost as much as it does its reputation. But the machines have always been one step ahead of the competition and the M18x is no exception.

This is the latest gaming laptop released from the “out there” PC manufacturer and comes with some heavy spec’s indeed. To start off the machine runs on an Intel Core i7 Extreme chip that comes overclocked and zipping by at 4GHz. Strap in your choice of graphics cards (either AMD’s CrossFireX or NVIDIA’s SLI) and you’re set to bring the heat to your next LAN party with 18.4 inches of pure 1920 x 1080 Full HD beauty.



But what’s a gaming PC without a ton of RAM, right? Alienware gives you the option of cramming up to 32GB of DDR3 inside the M18x to handle any game available on the market now and for the next decade.

You’ll also get a 3D-capable HDMI out, Wireless HD and a host of other obligatory ports for all of your favorite peripherals.

If you’re one to let style sway your decisions, the M18x’s anodize aluminum chassis is available slick black or flashy red.

There’s now word on a final launch date or a price but with Alienware, if you have to ask . . . .

Hit up the Dell website for a handful of glossy pictures and more spec’s if you’re interested.

Five of the 10 most-followed Twitter users are primarily famous for being musical performers, according to a ranking by social media analysis service Twitalyzer. All of the 10 most popular users are celebrities from the world of entertainment or politics, rather than technology personalities or online celebrities such as bloggers or social networkers.
