I want my 1 hour and 50mins back!!!!

In 1951, a sci-fi hallmark (and wry commentary on the political climate of the 1950s), The Day the Earth Stood Still is less concerned with special effects than with its potent message. A humanoid messenger (Michael Rennie) from another world lands in Washington, D.C., with a warning to Earth's people to cease their violent behavior. But panic erupts when Rennie is shot by a nervous soldier and his robot companion, Gort, begins to destroy the capital.

Now in 2008 with the latest and greatest Hollywood brains, special effects and technology, Renowned scientist Dr. Helen Benson finds herself face to face with an alien called Klaatu, who travels across the universe to warn of an impending global crisis. She and her estranged stepson Jacob quickly discover the deadly ramifications of Klaatu's claim that he is a friend to the Earth.Now Helen must find a way to convince the entity who was sent to destroy us that mankind is worth saving--but it may be too late. But I fear it is already too late for me...

Gosh 1 hour and 50 mins of Keanu Reeves acting is as the title of the movie suggested :"the day earth stood still"..for me it was like the night the moment stood still!!is not the moment stood still like it was breathlessly great but it was more like breathlessly "when will this movie end and can i get a refund for the movie tickets and my life back"

Ok..so they got a good idea, great special effect but where's the plot?I mean yes, alien landed in New York Central Park, and requested to speak to the world leaders about the impending doom great idea but trick is how to pull it together and make it a hell of a movie. The beginning was ok for me personally(even I did question myself why was the character Keanu Reeves playing was there to touch the Alien sphere thingy or why he's even there in the 1st place and doing what)but at the middle and the end of the movie I do feel like the director has loss his sense of direction and was trying to mash up the scenes to end the movie as fast as he could.

I guess Keanu Reeves plays an alien who doesn't talk much and shows no emotion. I really think he has found his perfect role.

For me personally, I would recommend you to watch the original, classic version of the 1951 version of The Day earth stood still.

CIA Special Activities Division (SAD)

A blogger friend of mine from ahdeedas blogspot recently blog about 1:6 scale Soldier Story CIA SAD Night OPS Version 2. The 1:6 scale version of the CIA SAD operators (as my blogger friend mention and shown) does look awesome and cool but reality is far from what's shown. CIA SAD operators appearances are far from military regular standard looks of clean shave facial hair and crew cut hair style. They are normal looking paramilitary who does not dress up as the normal infantry would such as uniform or uses any of the standard issue assault riffle from the United States Armed Forces for it's combatants. Very rarely the CIA SAD operator is seen with any standard issue items from the United states Armed forces. They need,will and have to blend in with the crowds in order to achieve their task or missions. Little is known about the CIA covert unit. They are one of America's most secretive and lowest profile special ops organizations. The Special Activities Division, sometimes

Bushmaster Adaptive Combat Rifle (ACR) is the production name for an updated version of the Masada Adaptive Combat Weapon System. It is self-loading rifle platform designed by Magpul Industries of Erie, Colorado. It may be the assset of the Unites States Army and SOCOM in 2010. It may well be the next generation tool for future warfare..the uniqueness of that weapon is that Magpul Masada design represents an amalgamation of several recent rifle designs, incorporating what is considered by its designers to be the best features of each in a single, lightweight, modular rifle platform. In other words 1 modular riffle platform with multiple known riffle configuration. It is expected that the rifle will be offered to military customers in 5.56mm NATO round,7.62x39mm round, 6.8mm Remington SPC, and 6.5 Grendel by having the user just switch out the barrel, bolt face, and magazine to change calibers. It is also expected that the ACR will have barrel length options of 10.5″, 14.5″, 16″ (commer
