Synopsis: A comet passes near the Earth and disturbs Earth's magnetic field. This movie is along the lines of most Sci-Fi Channel movies, but definitely a tad better - mostly because it tackles a different theme (magnetic storms / polar shift) and has a good lead character.The basic setup of the story is that a fragment of a comet has hit earth and strange electrical storms are popping up in multiple locations. There are two sub-stories: a scientist (Jack Coleman from the TV series "Heroes") tries to warn the government that the storms are going to get worst, not better and (2) the scientist's son and wife are trying to escape an area hit by one of the storms.

Ryan Reynolds ... Andrew Paxton
Mary Steenburgen ... Grace Paxton
Craig T. Nelson ... Joe Paxton
Michael Nouri ... Chairman Bergen
Michael Mosley ... Chuck
Dale Place ... Jim McKittrick
Alicia Hunt ... Coffee Barista

Director: Anne Fletcher


Genre: Comedy, Drama, Romance

Synopsis: Margaret Tate (Sandra Bullock) is the executive editor-in-chief of a book publishing company, Colden Books, who forces her assistant Andrew Paxton (Ryan Reynolds) to marry her in order to avoid being deported to Canada. He grudgingly accepts, under the condition that he is promoted to the position of editor. When the government investigates, the two are forced to spend the weekend with his parents in Alaska in order to sell the lie. The family suggest they could marry the same weekend, and they reluctantly accept. They start to fall genuinely in love as they spend more and more time together. Because of this, during the wedding ceremony, Margaret decides she cannot do this to Andrew and confesses the business arrangement in front of everyone--including the immigration officer handling their case. She is then told that she has 24 hours to get back to Canada, and thus goes back to New York to pack her things. Upon doing so, however, Andrew shows up at the office and confesses his love for her in front of the entire office staff, proposing marriage all over again.

When high-powered book editor Margaret faces deportation to her native Canada, the quick-thinking exec declares that she's actually engaged to her unsuspecting put-upon assistant Andrew, who she's tormented for years. He agrees to participate in the charade, but with a few conditions of his own. The unlikely couple heads to Alaska to meet his quirky family and the always-in-control city girl finds herself in one comedic fish-out-of-water situation after another. With an impromptu wedding in the works and an immigration official on their tails, Margaret and Andrew reluctantly vow to stick to the plan despite the precarious consequences.

Free JetAudio Basic

Free jet audio download on the links worldJetAudio Basic is an application developed by Cowon, a PMP (portable media player) manufacturer. This application is actually a sample of the application that could be found in their PMPs. But since it was built to be implemented in PC, additional features have become available.

JetAudio may sound like an application for audio only. But the application is actually a one-stop-shop for almost any media file format. The application can play major audio and video files in just one application. The application also has the ability to convert audio files into the file format preferred by users. JetAudio even has the ability to record audio from various sources including analog sources. With the addition of audio editing tools for special effects, the application practically has everything the user needs to control media in their PCs.

But the features that could be found from JetAudio don’t stop there. The application could also be used as a CD burner. Users can simply point the files found by the application that needs to be burned on CD. It doesn’t have any DVD burning features yet, but it is already useful especially for simple burning of audio files into CD.

The downside of the application is on its complexity. Because there are too many functions available in the application, users have to be familiar with basic functions first before becoming fully comfortable with JetAudio.

The basic version of the application is the free version of the application. A pro version is available which comes with additional codecs and tools for better audio and video manipulation.

Check it out at http://www.cowonamerica.com/download/

Download Free CubeVision Timer

free download timer, clock, watch free movies onlineCubeVision Timer is basically what its name says – a timer. After download, the application will launch without any problem complete with interface. Although its sole function is being a timer, it’s a straightforward application that will work without any glitch.

The interface is very easy to understand. The three major buttons (start, stop and reset) could be easily found and their reaction to commands is instantaneous. Another function named “ToString” is also added. This function basically allows users to export their records for future references. You can copy the records in your timer and save them in your preferred word processing document.

The application comes in three sizes: small, medium and large. But even with the variety in sizes, the small sized timer should be more than enough to help users actively monitor the timer. The large sized timer is recommended only for those who wanted to use the timer in most parts of the screen.

Although CubeVision Timer is able to do its purpose without any problem, there should have been key additions. First is the option to let the application stay on top. This should have been very helpful especially when you’re timing what you’re actively doing on your computer. The second is the required .Net Framework. While many computers already have .Net Framework installed in their computers, some who do not have the framework pre-installed will most likely look for other timer applications.

But if you already have a .Net Framework installed in your computer, the Timer by CubeVision is a great application because of its simplicity and stability.

Directors: Krishna D.K., Raj Nidimoru


Synopsis : 99 is an original story inspired by real events. It is as much "what could have been" as it is "what really happened." In other words,it is historical fiction - fiction being the keyword. It spans a few genres, it is slick, fast-paced, realistic and, importantly, very funny. In this "smart comedy" set in 1999, all the characters are bound by a common feeling of being stuck at 99 in life - just one short of a 'century'- that elusive thing called "making it" in life! 99 is an unpredictable and hilarious ride spread over two cities with colourful characters, unbelievable circumstances, small-time crooks, big-time conspiracies, fateful car crashes, loads of coffee, a briefcase full of money, a budding romance... ...and a historical controversy brewing in the background.

Genre: Action, Adventure, Thriller


Synopsis: The opening scene begins in a forested area lashed by heavy rain at night. Amid the thick foliage we see a sniper in camouflage perched in a tree, as he trains his sights at a hut in the forest. Beneath him is another sniper, who sees three men talking outside the hut. The scene shifts to a nearby road where a uniformed police officer, OJ (Edison Chen) was checking some parked vehicles together with his partner. They hear over the radio a description of a suspicious vehicle, and are surprised to discover it at their location. OJ touches the vehicle to see if it is warm, and looks around, spotting a hut in the distance, the same one the snipers are observing. As OJ and his partner approach the hut, the snipers spotted them. One of them, Hartman (Richie Ren) suggests assisting the officers if necessary. His partner, Shan Ge (Bowie Lam) reminds him that they are only on an observation mission and should not reveal themselves. Hartman considers action necessary as the situation has changed unexpectedly.
