The Time Traveler's Wife starring: Eric Bana and Rachel McAdams
A love story tested by the hands of time. Clare Abshire (McAdams) has known Henry DeTamble (Bana) since she was six years old, and when she finally meets him in the present, she is bewildered by the man she's loved ever since he first appears to her. And for Henry, he is no longer alone, there's a hope of a future, even if it means traveling to the past.
Not following the themes of Back to the Future where Marty McFly changes time in order for everyone's life to be a little bit better, The Time Traveler's Wife acknowledges that history cannot be change, but must be lived.
Ok, I am a big cynic when it come to "time traveling," I will tell you now, I DON'T BELIEVE IN TIME TRAVEL. There is no way any person can go back and forth in time. Why not? Because, that would mean history is always repeating itself, it means no one ever really dies it also means if anyone had that power or that chance, they know too much.
That aside, I though the film was well made. There is that consistency of the issue of time travel that I pointed out. My theory is, Henry just keeps time traveling until all of him is dead. Sorry to ruin the ending - or did I? - I mean think about it. Henry will just have to keep re-living his death just like he has to keep re-living his mother's death. He is going through the motions, which means no one really dies either. Which hypothetically means, everyone is traveling through time with him (ha! ha!).

Now:
Thanks Charlie!
But honestly:
This 16 year old is taking the world by storm and I am convinced he is no longer cracking. People are always telling me I'm wrong, but I'm serious man -come on! I just thought I'd write about "Baby" because it is the only song by him that I like, and it's only because I can dance like Charlie who can dance like Justin - and no, I don't have it on video, and maybe I should.
But anyway:
Baby - Justin Beiber Ft. Ludacris
The song's about Justin's first love breaking his heart by saying that they're no longer a couple and that they've degraded to "just friends" status without Justin even knowing. Apparently that's how it goes down.
But the video is one of those videos where the video has nothing to do with the song's story. The Story line is, some chick catches his eye at a bowling alley (presumably a girl from school) and she's playing hard to get. Then it turns into the typical boy versus girl hip hop dance off - while Ludacris does his thing. It ends with them ending up together.
What I can't get over is he sounds like he's 10 (don't hate me) and he's talking about love. I mean I'm 19 and even I cannot say that I have ever loved another person the way that JB is describing. Personally, I don't even know if you call that love - but anyway. I just don't get it. I also wanna point out that he's 16 and is not old enough to be in Vagas - mind you I could be wrong about the setting, but if that's what you're going for with the neon lights good for you - I mean it's like Miley Cyrus and Party in the USA, "Walk in the club..." dude, she's 17! She's not even old enough to get into a club! "Stilletoes..." I mean come on! I don't even wear Stilletoes!!! ( Is that how you spell that?)
