A Full Overview Of The Movie The Last Dragon

By George White

The Last Dragon was a film produced by Motown Records in the mid-eighties, and while it was sort of created as a way to market a few singles, notably Oh Sheila, the film still stands as a pretty good Kung Fu movie, a good comedy, and one of the all time must download movies of the eighties. It's fun, funny, sort of corny and very eighties.

The movie follows a young martial artist nicknamed Bruce Leroy as he teaches the kids at the local dojo and works at his father's pizza parlor, delivering pies on foot throughout Harlem. He also tries to maintain his composure while dealing with hsi rival, Sho'Nuff, the Shogun of Harlem... Yep. Sho'Nuff... He's the Shogun of Harlem, you see.

He really is a great character. Maybe one of the all time classic comedy movie villains. He's colorful, ridiculous, short tempered and always funny. He wears visor sunglasses (You know, the ones that look like horizontal blinds), as well as shoulder pads, hakama (the baggy pants you always see in samurai films), and a top knot/Rick James kind of hair style. It's just plain hilarious watching him come on screen. He always starts with his big introductory piece, demanding that his lackeys affirm his meanness, badness and prettiness before engaging in any business.

If there's one downside to the movie, it's the whole subplot about the Cyndi Lauper wannabe singer and her promoter/boyfriend. He's trying to play hardball in order to get her played on the local music show, and... Well, it's just not really the high point of the movie. It's not too much of a distraction, but you'll find yourself wishing they'd just get back to the kung fu already.

But don't worry, it gets back to that soon enough when the promoter hires the meanest hombres in town to take Leroy down, culminating in a massive brawl with Leroy and his students on one side, and a gang of colorful thugs on the other, including a great big fat white guy with a gray Mr. T mohawk and a gold colored jumpsuit... Strange characters, indeed.

There are a ton of fun, corny eighties movie moments along the way, with Bruce Leroy seeking out an old Confucian master of wisdom; the guy who writes fortune cookies. When he discovers that the fortune cookie writer is actually a computer, he has a moment of zen like clarity.

Perhaps the movie might have been better without the relatively uninteresting subplot. After all, you just came for the kung fu, right? But nevertheless, it still remains a classic of its genre, and one of the few films to successfully spoof kung fu movies and honor them at the same time. It's really a lot of fun, with just enough corny eighties style goofiness to make it one of the all time classic eighties comedies.

Next time you want a goofy, fun eighties flick, and you want to see a little kung fu while you're at it, go ahead and give The Last Dragon a download. - 42569

What Do Russian Girls Think About Americans

By Lera Cupidonova

American men have always had a special eye for Russian girls. With their exotic accents, thick dark hair, big rep lips, and caring personalities, it's not a surprise that many men look to them for a woman to settle down with.

Unfortunately, many men get taken off guard by stereotypes that Russian woman have, and don't know how to respond when certain questions are asked. This article will tell you about some of those common misconceptions, allowing you to be more prepared when you have your introduction. Remember that these are general stereotypes, not guaranteed beliefs.

The first stereotype American men face from the Russian population is that they are all rich. Every man is Donald Trump, living the high life in some penthouse apartment with seven cars in the parking garage. Movies and other mainstream media, like music videos and TV shows, depict very lavish extravagancies as the norm in the United States. As we both know, that isn't the case.

This is okay. Money is not the reason most of these women want to meet you, despite some stereotypes that you may associate with them. Tell her the truth if you do not fit this wealthy image and it will be fine. Share your hobbies with her, laugh together, and make her feel safe. With these simple actions money will never be an issue.

Along with the stereotype that American men are rich, is the idea that they are incredibly well traveled. In reality, Americans have a very low international travel rate, with only thirty percent owning a passport. Some people credit this to the large size, making it harder and more expensive to leave. Others think it is because our diverse terrain leave little else to be desired. But Russian girls will not be familiar with these ideas, and will just assume you have been everywhere. Once again, be honest and everything will be fin.

The final thing to be prepared for is your Russian lady's expectations about family. In Russian culture it is normal for young girls to grow up in a household of parents, siblings, aunts, uncles, cousins, and grandparents. Rarely would she have a moment of privacy. She will expect you to have grown up the same way. Russian families are very close. She will be excited to tell you about her brothers and sisters. Be prepared to share some family stories of your own.

In one rare case, a gentlemen was so taken with his Russian girl and the way she talked about her family, that he relocated all of them to the United States. This is not normal, and not something all the girls expect, but it is a testament to the love and dedication that can build from these relationships.

These are a few examples of some of the basic ideas that Russian girls have about American men. These things are based on TV, movies, and other bits of media, as well as the most deep set traditions in her own culture. And always remember, just because some women expect certain things doesn't mean it is their ideal. Everyone is different and everyone looks for different things. - 42569

Colts Rip Eagles In NFL Preseason Action

By Ross Everett

The Indianapolis Colts offense was in high gear as Peyton Manning threw two TD passes in three series of action, leaving backup Curtis Painter with a 14-0 lead over the Philadelphia Eagles before exiting the game. The Colts would eventually depend as much on their defense as their offense over the course of the subsequent NFL season but on this day the Colts went on to win 23-15 in NFL preseason action at the Lucas Oil Stadium in Indianapolis.

Manning hadn't been happy with the offense's lethargic opening game performance, and was in much better spirits after this game:

"I think everybody wanted to be in there. The entire offense felt hungry after last week. Sure, there were some mistakes we can learn from, but there were some good things we can learn from."

"I don't think anybody offensively was really happy with what happened last week. It started with me and the entire offensive starting unit. Overall I thought everybody came back and did a better job tonight."

Colts head coach Jim Caldwell was likewise pleased with the performance:

"They [the starters] had a couple of real good solid drives in there, performing pretty well. We were pleased with what we saw."

Eagles coach Andy Reid, meanwhile, wasnt the least bit enthused with what he saw from his team:

"All in all, that was an embarrassing performance and way too many penalties, not enough intensity all the way around, starting with me. It was a poor performance."

Aside from a nice touchdown pass from Donovan McNabb early in the game the Eagles looked nothing like a team expected to contend for a Superbowl berth.

Philadelphia will host the Jacksonville Jaguars next Thursday night looking for their first win of the NFL preseason. The Colts will continue their NFL exhibition slate as they travel to Detroit for a game against the Lions a week from Saturday. - 42569

Grieving: The Way We Experience Losing A Loved One

By Emma Walker

Grieving is a person's natural reaction to loss. Grief is the pain you experience when you lose something that or someone who is an important part of your life.

The following are a few samples of losses that can give you anguish:

- your girlfriend or boyfriend breaks up with you - you lost your job - you lost that one opportunity to go after what you love doing the most - a family member is dying from a serious illness - the medical tests came in and you found out that you are suffering from a serious illness - you and your spouse are getting a divorce - you destroyed the trust of your best friend - your pet passed away - the person you love dies suddenly

These situations can all lead to an experience of grieving. Still, of all the scenarios given, it is the death of a loved one, such as a spouse, a child, or a mother or father, that gives so much sorrow. Nothing will be able to close the void that suddenly springs up in our life when they die.

These special individuals may have been all there ever was in our lives. And our lives would never be the same again without them. We grieve for our loss. Nevertheless, it is in grieving that we develop the path to our own healing of the anguish that we experienced with our beloved's demise.

All of us are entitled to express our pain. Nonetheless, we must choose the way that can encourage us to heal after all the loss that we experienced.

Grieving does not mean caterwauling or weeping your heart out each time you remember what you have lost. Still, tears do not always mean grief. One can appear unemotional on the outside yet suffer from the pain of loss within.

Grieving does not have a set duration, such as the "prescribed" time of just 1 year. The length of the grieving process will be different for one person compared with another. If you are grieving, don't rush yourself to instantly "get over it." Time is a great healer. - 42569
