The Dark Knight (a film review)


The Dark Knight is closest to reality it would seem every tale-bit joked away as far as how we're originally brought to look up to the superhero in Batman. It was, shall we say, the other side or beyond what may have often been our imagination of a superfluous character.



Most watchers could be felt initially unready toward the unexpected twist of Batman's conflict with heroism. As opposed to the previous, he had very little control over his most hideous enemy (the Joker) to account for the considerable losses. His saving act barely touched several victims in dire need of rescue.



What's really extraordinary about the Joker that Batman appeared to be insufficient for most part this time was that even with Joker not keeping permanent company, sabotaging his followers and claiming to have not schemed his actions, the seed of destruction he planted sprouted everywhere. Nobody anticipated such resonance with an unclear motive, even Batman himself needed another hero to figure it out from which to determine his resolve. It was such a turning point for Batman, being worked by circumstances to push his bounds beyond what's necessary.



Batman's pursuit of Joker emerged in a whole new different approach. On the outside, it was much less suave, given how very inconsiderate the rough times were at Rachel's irrevocable choice, losing her physically when the conscious 'knight' couldn't be around (fighting himself back) as such and held it that way until he could have sent the enemy over to the brink when instead, he chose to overcome himself again and not gave in. No matter how easily he could, he merely found himself declining judgment. Compassion reigned him over despite the Joker's very unworthiness that was plain to see. Because he made it more evident that money was unwanted and nothing could further inflict him, Batman sought the way to him on a different light and remained settled to combat complications with simple means (extremely sacrificial and selfless).



The film has preserved Batman by way of martyrdom (notwithstanding the rest that had marred the status of his impeccability as a hero). It was a scenario of a hero who bore the unbearable, with a subtle irony of having no applauding audience at times he worked at striking the very root of evil. Additionally, he had to deal with accepting how dark he could get at the sight of suspecting victims (the innocuous public) as long as the worse case went.

The Best-Loved Poems of Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis (a book review)


Fair enough, The Best-Loved Poems of Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis may have become Caroline Kennedy's way of paying grand tribute to her late queen. In this anthology, she has managed to present Jackie's insights that were rather untapped by publicity.


The collection by parts ordered, is equipped with Caroline's introductions about how essential human aspects came to be signified or why the poems included mattered to her mother as well as (eventually) to their family in her youth.


Looking inside of the private Mrs. Kennedy could for an ordinary reader occur to be such an overwhelming poetic journey to cherish (as of an ideal and most promising remembrances with classic outfit). Most poems reflect the way she was brought up besides her latter influence by JFK's plagued yet intellectual administration.


America made her reach beyond herself like what the hero in Paul Revere had suggested, being aroused by patriotism. Works by Emily Dickinson, Edna St. Vincent Millay and Robert Louis Stevenson would altogether say of Jackie's connection with the mundane yet mirthful human traditions and conservative routine with nature. Where life appeared to be passing under dull tone, she would don spirit of adventure in a way poets like Cavafy and Frost would celebrate through “Ithaca” and “The Road Not Taken” respectively, with verses truly powerful to stir enthusiasm against humdrum. Readers may also delight in the wandering Aengus' song which implies that Jackie's choice of Yeats is a means to escape into a world no wonders escape possibilities. In love, there is every reason to be hopeful and certain with Shakespeare's sonnets which the former First Lady had loaded in the April evening of Elizabethan poetry and music at the White House (1963) believing that love and passion, are entities inseparably fueled by poetry. She even made significant consideration of introspective moments for which were selected some uplifting Biblical passages and poems like “The Negro Speaks of Rivers” by Langston Hughes and the equally compelling “Ozymandias” by Shelley that strikes a chord on every heart found guilty under austere pride and corruption.


Caroline Kennedy devoted the book's last section to affirming her mother 'in her own words' and giving credits for her father. It justifies the sincerity of Jackie's emotions and wisdom with which she would like readers engaged, to manage their share of poesy—a unique experience even Caroline is convicted to continue herself within her family and the generations to follow, echoing the message down any other lines of descent the world throughout. Once reading this book goes twice, it would be hard to imagine how far repeating those poems may soar in freedom that readers' minds would surely find their hidden art stunning to explore about.

http://www.google.com/chrome (a site review)


Google Chrome is basically Google's new open source browser built to have an extended functionality as a modern platform for web pages and applications, especially to better run and make the most of the current complex web applications. The project shall be inclusive of V8 (an open-sourced Javascript engine created in Denmark) to have its performance catalyzed.


As one user-interface feature, tabs in Google Chrome are 'sandboxed' to avoid crashing each other (as per user tendency which is very common) consequentially filtering fraudulent sites to guard user engine safe from 'phishing' attempts and spywares.


Chrome's address bar is (by default) characteristic of an all-around box that fills in a user with search suggestions and which displays major pages visited and even those not yet browsed but which are most in demand. Keying in a single word of a certain site leads the address bar straight to the site's search box ready for keyword entry. User may opt on a separate browser, however, to launch web applications without the necessity of address bar or toolbar.


Under Google Chrome's privacy mode, Google promotes the 'incognito' feature by which preference may be made for whether to log a window on the computer.


Everything gradually gets optimally customized by Google Chrome to satisfactorily meet web requirements geared toward tough changes in the future so that adjustment with this area of revolution wouldn't be dramatically unstable. Its beta version released for Windows looks promising for both Mac and Linux which the Google Chrome has since recently configured with, owing to Apple's Webkit and Mozilla Firefox among other source projects it might further avail of, thus, keeping the competition with other options even.

Hans Christian Andersen (My Life as a Fairy Tale)


As depicted in the film, albeit Hans Christian Andersen’s impoverished state of living under 19th century Danish society of Odnese, he had walked and lived the sphere of fantasy far from sharp misery. When his father passed away, Hans’s aunt realized she needed to send him away so he could figure how to live on his own. Just before he left, he had his palm read to find out: “all of Copenhagen will be lit up in your honor” according to the lady soothsayer. Since then, he had shoved himself place after place looking for a proper shelter which he struggled to keep due to a somewhat maladjusted, uncooperative surroundings every time.


No matter though how rough times had been, he didn’t let his mind falter. His imagination seemed to have wandered off his heart to stories that wove themselves more than his make-believe, as they later enthused great interest to poor and rich alike.


Hans’s foretold good fortune sought its trail at his adoption to Henrietta’s family whose head had come to welcome him without reservation and had him acquire provisions just as his real son would. The crippled Henrietta, whose secret affection for Hans was in no iota platonic, became most fond of him. He, in turn, had gone pre-occupied with Jenny Lind whom he wildly adored in person and through her voice magical that it couldn’t be helped to infer she had huge share to inspire his creation especially when he wrote “The Nightingale”. Hans more so projected Jenny to fill in the existence of “Thumbelina”; whereas, Rietta he imagined to be the “Little Mermaid” who turns into foam upon yielding to a broken heart when the prince she loves decides to marry his heart’s desire.


When Hans chanced upon Charles Dickens’s two sons who were playing with a toy soldier that broke off a leg by accident which saddened the boy’s face, Hans right then brought back the glow through his brave Tin Soldier’s tale. Such was the onset of his acquaintance with Dickens and the remarkable history of their friendship.


Since the time he finished his education courtesy of Rietta’s father, he had plunged onto discoveries with publishers offering auspicious deals while his passion to chase fantasy grew all the more. Even the princess had him over warmly at her private chambers where Hans told her of “The Princess and the Pea”.


At critical times, the movie has illumined much of the writer’s life from stories which occur to make striking relevance to his own affairs. It wasn’t long until the number of fanatics multiplied to perch themselves around Andersen’s fairy tales (especially “The Ugly Duckling” among others) and rendered individual explorations. Though the super nature of these tales had flared almost everyone’s dreams and love to being, it came rather mocking to Hans that his went on a sour. He didn’t see it coming at first when reality instead was overtaking the end. Jenny Lind didn’t opt him for reality despite his ardent pursuit of her, and realizing that in coincidence with Henrietta’s untimely death which he deplored somehow.


Hallmark Entertainment has captured the essence in Hans Christian Andersen’s character (being an ambivert that he was) which perhaps did loom a reek of him out of excruciating wonders.
