Day 33
so much news on flickr and how they delete paid accounts because of people violating their terms of service..
it's really vague..
here's one of the guidelines..
"Don’t be creepy.
You know the guy. Don't be that guy"
I read about how some people don't get warnings and their accounts with 5+ years of work and thousands of pictures just disappear..
I need to find a backup for my photos..

Movie 8: The King's Speech
Movie 8: The King's Speech (2010)
Feb 1, 2010
DL
Tells the story of the man who became King George VI, the father of Queen Elizabeth II. After his brother abdicates, George, aka Albert aka 'Bertie' reluctantly assumes the throne. Plagued by a dreaded stammer and considered unfit to be king, Bertie engages the help of an unorthodox speech therapist named Lionel Logue. Through a set of unexpected techniques, and as a result of an unlikely friendship, Bertie is able to find his voice and boldly lead the country through war.
This movie is nice. I love biopics! i find myself researching on the real people these characters are based on.
Have a listen to the actual speech King George VI recited.
Colin Firth deserves to win all the awards so far and I hope he wins in the Oscars.
He's the Duke of York and suffers a bad stammer/stutter and Firth plays this disability well and we see how he struggles and fights to show that he has a voice.
An all British cast with the Geoffrey Rush, Helena Bonham Carter, and Guy Pearce as brother Edward.
Even Dumbledore was there.
All these supporting characters, and even Rush underplay their roles so that there is more room for Firth.
The costume work was beautiful, and the sets were other worldy.. (well, I've never been to the UK)
I like the cinematography! it's so awesome to watch.. I wanna watch it in the theater.
It's a movie of Valor (Bravery), Kindness, Strength and overcoming adversity.. You find yourself rooting for him throughout the movie.
Not a lot of effects and action, this movie should be watched for the masterful acting of the cast.
I enjoyed, and I hope you do too!

Movie 7: My Sister's Keeper
Movie 7: My Sister's Keeper (2009)
January 31, 2011
Star movies
Director:
Nick Cassavetes
Writers:
Jeremy Leven, Nick Cassavetes
Abigail Breslin Andromeda 'Anna' Fitzgerald
Sofia Vassilieva Kate Fitzgerald
Cameron Diaz Sara Fitzgerald
In Los Angeles, the eleven year old Anna Fitzgerald seeks the successful lawyer Campbell Alexander trying to hire him to earn medical emancipation from her mother Sara that wants Anna to donate her kidney to her sister. She tells the lawyer the story of her family after the discovery that her older sister Kate has had leukemia; how she was conceived by in vitro fertilization to become a donor; and the medical procedures she has been submitted since she was five years old to donate to her sister. Campbell accepts to work pro bono and the obsessed Sara decides to go to court to force Anna to help her sister
It seems so simple when you read about the plot, but you wouldn't understand how difficult a situation this is until you put yourself in their shoes.
Your sister is sick and you would do everything to save her. How can you choose not to do it anymore?
It's a movie about life decisions, family decisions, faith and letting go.
The movie touches on difficult situations but is not that painful to watch.
It shows the drama, love, fighting, and encouragement that all people face in battles but it also shows that most of the time it isn't happy or encouraging to go on fighting but instead a painful road to ride on.
My grandparents have fought this battle when i was young, I can only imagine what my parents were going through.
It's a tearjerker of a movie but the message is just we have to live our lives.. Love and care for each other and in the end, let go and let God.
Watch it!
