The Twilight Saga: Eclipse
and The Last Airbender Movies open up this weekend.
Both have lots of potential. The stars of Eclipse will be visiting various theaters this weekend(very cool).
M. Night Shyamalan director and writer of The Last Airbender(also in 3D some theaters), has made some pretty entertaining movies.
View this interactive map on the BP oil spill disaster. Video and More on this. More needs to be done to protect our environment, marine and wildlife. If companies can not be trusted to do it on their own, then the government must make them do it. Our natural resources must not be compromised for one companys profit. Such a disaster affects more than just one spot in the ocean or one company. It could contaminate our food supply, cost fisherman loss of jobs and kill wildlife. It has already contaminated our ocean, birds, and will likely damage land on the coast. I hope those whales get moved out of the area fast. BP needs to fix all the negative impact this disaster caused. Unfortunately some of the damage can never be fixable. See what the EPA is doing.
On to lighter news:
