Top 7 Movies That Disappointed All Of Us

Posted on May 24, 2013 by Guest Writer

There have always been movies that gave big hopes to the audience. Such films are called blockbusters, sequels and prequels, movies-of-a-great-cast, and so on and so forth. Waiting for them, people really hope to receive a good and worth-to-watch product, but it often happens that they leave cinemas disappointed. Why does it happen so? What are the mistakes of producers or directors here? A good assignment helper would be able to answer such a question of course, but this fact doesn’t make the movies, described below, better.

Let’s take a look at 7 most disappointing movies no people will watch again. Despite an interesting plot, brilliant cast and visual effects, these films didn’t find any support among their viewers.

Public Enemies (2009)

The story of a well-known criminal John Dillinger promised to be really exciting on a big screen, especially when it was played by such a guru of acting as Johnny Depp. The name of Christian Bale is also not the last one in Hollywood, so, ‘Public Enemies’ should have been nothing less than a really thrilling movie for those who appreciate a cinematography of a high quality.

But something went totally wrong. In general, this is not a very bad movie, but we couldn’t see any connection between all it parts. It looked like a number of separate scenes where Depp tried to demonstrate his acting talent, Bale did the same, and they were not able to create a really good tandem to make this movie really worth watching.

Sex And The City 2 (2010)

All fans of this show remember the first part of ‘Sex And the City’ which didn’t win any awards, but demonstrated a thrilling plot and good sense of humor of all four antagonists. So, it’s clear that they expected to get the same at least, when it came to the sequel.

Certainly, such a movie is not for everyone but fans only, but even they were disappointed to see such a flat humor towards Dubai, its traditions, and different gender stereotypes. Glamour of Samantha and her friends was too much to stand, the story itself appeared to be about nothing… Well, there is no need to continue probably. We hope we won’t see ‘Sex And the City 3′ ever.

The Day After Tomorrow (2004)

This movie is the great example of the fact we should never believe all those bright and promising marketing campaigns of disaster films. All those landmarks destroyed by a catastrophe were able to capture people’s attention, and they hope to meet the same caliber of disaster in the movies. No luck anyway.

Well, we must admit, that the scenes of disaster were quite impressive, but they were not able to save the whole plot as a result. The audience was bored to watch a protagonist’s pathetic attempts to find his son. There was really nothing else to watch in the movie.

Alice In Wonderland (2010)

Wasn’t Tim Burton the perfect director for such a story? His talent, together with Lewis Carrol’s odd imagination, promised us a real masterpiece with beautiful pictures, impressive visual effects, non-ordinary jokes, cool Cheshire Cat, Johnny Depp as Mad Hatter, and much more.

The movie appeared to be just a kaleidoscope of simple scenes with Carroll’s imaginative creatures who talked about nothing and served like decorations to make 3D effects better.

Godzilla (1998)

A giant lizard in Manhattan, and Roland Emmerich as a director (we all remember his epic ‘Independence Day’, don’t we?) – what could be a better tandem for this movie to become a real masterpiece of its genre?

The audience got an impression of watching ‘Jurassic Park’ again, and Godzilla didn’t look as cool as it was planned. Jokes were not funny, acting – not cool… Well, a total fail, as we see.

Prometheus (2012)

The name of Ridley Scott and The ‘Alien’ franchise return promised to make ‘Prometheus’ one of the biggest sci-fi movie projects of that summer.

Certainly, it’s possible to meet people who liked this movie very much. But you are not one of them if you couldn’t stand the stupidity of crew-members, unclear mythological moments of the plot, and a totally absurd final that made us be afraid of the possible sequel of this such-called prequel appearance.

The Godfather 3 (1990)

Well, it’s obvious that people were excited to watch this movie, because its first two parts had been called the greatest masterpieces of cinematography ever made. But…

It was not the worst movie ever, but it had almost nothing in common with two previous parts: relations were poor, leading roles were wrong, and all these moments made an impression of watching something totally boring and unnecessary.

Posted on May 24, 2013 by Guest Writer

When you are planning an event on a budget, hiring an event agency sure looks like a waste of money. However, this cannot be further from the truth. An experienced event planning agency will offer you several benefits. In fact, you may be surprised to know that an event planning agency will actually save you money. Don’t just assume that because you are going to pay the event planning agency that you are going to spend more money. Actually, the exact opposite is the truth. If you have a good event planning agency who understands your budget, then they will work to make sure that the budget is not exceeded.

An event agency will save you money

An event planning agency will go that extra mile to ensure that they only deal with affordable vendors of the equipment and facilities needed for the event. An event agency is experienced at organizing events and knows what vendors are cheap and which ones are not. In addition, the agency probably already has good relationships with most vendors having worked with them in the past. This means that the event planning agency will have a better chance of getting better deals than you. This translates to actual money saved. You may end up saving more money than you will spend paying the event planning agency.

Save you time

You are going to save time by hiring an experienced event planning agency. When you are busy with more important things, how will you be able to attend the endless meetings required to plan your event? You can send your event planning agency to attend the meetings for you as you concentrate on the more important things. You don’t have to trouble yourself with details you will not need. The event agency Eventbureau is the one that should know every intricate detail of your event.

All you have to do is come up with the event strategy together after which you can leave everything to the event planning agency because they understand what you need exactly. The agency will hold meetings with the photographer, videographer, the guy to supply the furniture and any other vendor. The agency will save you countless hours so you get more work done on your side.

Enjoy a better event

In addition to saving you money and time, you can expect an event planning agency to plan a better event than you can imagine. When you try and organize an event yourself, you can only hope for a good event. On the other hand, event planning agencies have been planning events for a long time and know exactly what goes into making an event a success. For example, there are some details you will never think about that the event agency will implement, like the right decorations and angle of the audience chairs.

An event planning agency will also help you choose a good venue for your event. The choice of venue will determine the success of the event as a whole. The choice of venue is determined by the type of event and the goals of holding the event. An event agency knows more about planning events and will choose a venue that will enable you to meet your goals.

Setting up of new major ports in the WB & AP

Posted on May 24, 2013 by Liju Philip

The Cabinet Committee on Economic Affairs (CCEA) today approved the proposal of the Ministry of Shipping for:

(i) setting up a new major port at Sagar Island in West Bengal through the Public Private Partnership (PPP) mode by following the extant procedures for project appraisal/approval, including obtaining environmental clearances, etc.

(ii) appointing the transaction advisers and legal consultants and initiate the bidding process for award of the project and to finalize the project structure in consultation with the State Government of West Bengal and the Planning Commission.

(iii) commissioning the techno-economic feasibility reports for the new major port at Dugarajapatnam locations.

(iv) constituting of an Empowered Committee of Secretaries (ECS), to be chaired by Secretary (Shipping) and comprising Secretary, Department of Economic Affairs, Secretary, Planning Commission, Chairman, Railway Board, Secretary, Road Transport and Highways and Secretary, Department of Legal Affairs, to take appropriate decisions in regard to the project structuring, as well as other implementation related issues.

The benefits of setting up the major ports are as follows:

Sagar port in West Bengal: The existing port facilities at Kolkata and Haldia are riverine ports and are facing severe draught limitations, because of the adverse morphological changes in Hooghly River which results in regular siltation. The present proposal is to provide a deep draught port at Sagar Island which would obviate the need for heavy maintenance dredging and would be able to handle large sized vessels.

Major port in Andhra Pradesh: Rapid industrial growth in the hinterland of Visakhapatnam Port has rendered it necessary to have another major port in Andhra Pradesh. The new major port will facilitate the economic development of Andhra Pradesh and the surrounding areas.

Tips on Taking a Motorcycle or Scooter Trip to Central Park

Posted on May 23, 2013 by Guest Writer

Taking a motorcycle or scooter trip through New York’s Central Park is one of the things every biker in the area needs to do. Nothing beats the feeling of the wind in your hair while seeing the sights. However, like all trips, you need to be prepared for every contingency to make your ride an enjoyable experience.

What to Bring

The first step is making sure you have everything you need for your trip. After all, nothing ruins a trip more than needing something and not having it with you. Of course, you could always stop by a shop along the way but that takes away valuable time you could have been spending in the park. Protective gear should be standard just in case you have the misfortune of taking a spill driving a motorcycle. It is also the law that you have to wear a DOT certified helmet, so make sure you wear one during your trip. Also don’t forget to carry some minor repair tools in case your motorcycle breaks down.

If you plan on staying until the evening, be prepared with a nice reflectorized vest and a hazard signal or two in the odd event of a breakdown. These things do save lives, so don’t forget them. Next up on the list is some sunscreen, insect repellant, and chapstick. Sunburn, insect bites and chapped lips are common occurrences for anyone looking to enjoy the outdoors, and all three can be extremely uncomfortable and can easily ruin what could have been an enjoyable trip. The sunscreen keeps you from getting sunburned if the sun is up, the insect repellant stops insect bites, while the chapstick prevents your lips from drying out.

Water is almost always a necessity if you plan on taking a trip during the summer months. This can help prevent dehydration and heatstroke besides obviously quenching your thirst. Bring food if you want to have a small picnic in the area but also remember there are always a number of street food carts in the area. Don’t forget to bring Frisbees, guide books, and other items you can have fun with if you plan on stopping there for the afternoon. It’s a good time to let loose and play a bit before heading back home.

Of course there are a ton of other things you can bring above and beyond the basics that we just mentioned. Just take into consideration that since you are on a motorcycle, your carrying capacity will be limited. Just be sure that you can easily carry everything you plan on bringing without compromising being able to safely drive your motorcycle.

No bike, no problem

Just because you don’t own a motorcycle or a scooter doesn’t mean you have to miss out on the fun though. I would highly recommend the Vespa tour, Pedicab tour or even the Pedicab tour if you have a chance. It’s a good way to get to know the history of Central Park and see the sights.

Above all, have fun!

All of this planning may seem a lot of work, but trust us when we say that it’s worth the effort. Follow the simple tips above and you should have an enjoyable romp through Central Park. You might even pick up a thing or two about this historical site. That said, don’t over think things! If you think about it, ultimately the most important thing to plan ahead for is safety. If you have that covered, everything else is pretty much secondary. And riding your scooter is about having fun. So do just that: have fun and drive safe.

Why Struggle With Business Bookkeeping? Hire an Expert Accountant

Posted on May 23, 2013 by Guest Writer

One decision that is very essential to any business owner is selecting the most qualified accountant. It is best to settle for the most trustworthy and dependable one because he/she will be in charge of the most personal details of the business and the business owner. He/she handles all the financial account information of a business and this commands for a high level of integrity and honesty. Confidence and attention to detail are very vital because bookkeeping needs professional accuracy. Bookkeeping services are very important in ensuring the flourishing of a business.

It is possible to get an individual, a company, or a corporation providing bookkeeping services. Selecting an individual to be providing regular booking services may be the best option for you. But the very best option for an accountant is to hire a firm rather than an individual. The fact that there are numerous companies and individuals claiming to provide the best bookkeeping services makes it a bit challenging to select the best. The good news is that it is very easy to find a good company if you are ready to do some groundwork. Always set aside enough time to find the best company if you would like to pay competitive prices.

Is the company you want to hire well known? How long has it been in business? Does it have enough employees? These are just a few of the things that you have to consider. You can find out what other business owners say about the company in question in reviews. If they speak highly of the company, then that means it must be very good. A bookkeeper is also called an accounting clerk. The job entitled to him/her is recording all the financial transactions carried out in a company that will be used by the accountant (it’s interesting fact that the Danes use the term Revisor to arrange the final financial statement. An accountant uses the trial balance prepared, in preparing a balance sheet and an income statement in a business.

This shows that in case a business hires an accountant who is not fully qualified, the business will be affected. The best option to go for is someone with a lot of knowledge of what is expected of him/her. Selecting one from a reputable company guarantees one of high quality services and a good job. Remember that the basic recordings determine the prosperity of the business and if it is in wrong hands, it becomes quite difficult to account for the company’s financial position. To prevent your business from falling victim to such situations, it is best to take the precautions and allow the professionals to tackle the job.

Before you hire a company for bookkeeping, make sure they have enough experience. If you get wrong figures, you will make the wrong decisions and that could ruin your business. If the company has been in operation for long, the experience and expertise gained during all the years in business are then passed down to the employees thus ensuring quality bookkeeping services are provided to the customers. Never hire an accountant blindly no matter how fast you need one. Do your homework well and you will not be disappointed.
