Halloween Costumes: Who Said that Halloween Is Just for the Kids?

Halloween costumes, trick-or-treating, jack-o'-lanterns, bobbing apples, decorated houses, scary pranks and ghost stories all means one thing, Halloween. The annual secular holiday is fast approaching and if there is something that this ancient celebration has thought us, is that to have fun even with the things that often scares us.

Halloween is not just for the kids, but more for the adults population in general. If you thought people who dress weird is funny, then wait until Halloween as everyone has the right to dress up as anyone without people criticizing or judging them. From kids wearing cute cartoon characters to grown ups wearing adult halloween costumes which range from the most silly to the unusually impressive copy of the original.



I've always wanted to dress up as one of my most favorite horror film character Freddy Krueger of the popular horror classic the Nightmare on Elm Series. With his mischievous, witty and merciless nature, I believe that being Freddy for Halloween is just perfect. Besides Krueger who is more sinister and is a face of evil, I would like to balance the scales by having a Batman mask as well. Both of these characters are a big part of my childhood and helped shaped the "geekiness" in me. What is also expected on Halloween are people wearing sexy halloween costumes which would often always add "spice" to the annual celebration.

The Best Measure to Take for Crowd Control

Finally the most anticipated movie of the year has finally arrived and that only means one thing, a stampede of movie goers vying in for the best seat inside the theater. This scenario could escalate into something more chaotic if not addressed properly, and the best way to deal with it is via crowd control schemes.



Crowd control measures have been used by various industries most notably in Hollywood to avoid the rush of enthusiastic and excited fans. Besides the muscles, did you know that the very elegant looking velvet rope is a great example of crowd control paraphernalia? Stanchions on the other hand are the more utilized and standard version of crowd control with its more customizable (sometimes) retractable belts.

Well that isn't a something new as one might regularly see these familiar products on banks, grocery stores, various shopping malls or any major public event that require an orderly line. The most extreme form of crowd control could be in the form of barricades for those seemingly deranged fan boys and girls, uncontrollable demonstrations, or just a simple warning device. So when the crowd goes wild, you can be at ease as long as you have taken the necessary precautions, get the right people for the job, and provide a first line of defense via crowd control measures.

Central City Needs a Hero - "The Spirit" of Christmas

From a brilliantly crafted comics classic comes a new movie adapted by Frank Miller (creator of 300 and Sin City)... The Spirit which will be on cinemas on December 25, 2008 (well, in the US that is).

Movie aficionados who have seen the movies by Frank Miller will surely be familiar with how "The Spirit" looks and feels. When I first saw its trailer I thought "Dang! Sin City 2?", which I later found out that "The Spirit" movie is a completely different title and was based on a action-adventure-romance humor classic 1940 comics by writer-artist Will Eisner.



So who, what, when, and how is "The Spirit"?

"The Spirit" is a fictitious American comic book super hero character popularized and created by writer-artist Will Eisner in 1940 on a Sunday-newspaper. It follows the chronicles of a former-detective Dan Colt now turned anonymous crime fighter known only with the name of The Spirit, a masked crime-fighter usually seen wearing a small domino mask, blue business suit, fedora hat, gloves, and his signature red necktie for his costume.

Meet the New Team Knight Rider

Chris a here again with another hit US television series updates. This time CMAQUEST features the ever awesomeness (I sounded like Po of Kung Fu Panda hehehe) action-romance-sci-fi adventures of Knight Rider.



Fast Facts: This is the main protagonist Mike Traceur and Kitt (Knight Industries Three Thousand) in their first mission in the February 2008's movie which will serve as the backdoor pilot of the Knight Rider 2008 Series.

Here is a short preview about the story of a car... a talking, thinking, weaponed (feeling?) mustang:



Thanks to the power of the worldwide web I came to know that the new Knight Rider is a pick-up of the 1980's Knight Rider, meaning that it is not a remake but a continuation of the actual series. My father mentioned that he used to watched this series and here is a preview of that classic 1980s Knight rider opening theme.

The New 2008's Knight Rider Opening Theme

Knight Rider 2008


And now to meet the 2008 Team Knight Rider



Jason Bruening plays as Mike Traceur, the son of the previous driver/agent behind the first KITT (Knight Industries Two Thousand). He is in searched for his lost memory and with each mission he draws closer and closer to finding the truth about what happened to his lost memories.



Deanna Russo as Sarah Graiman, the daughter of Charles Graiman (creator of both original and the new KITT), new agent who usually helps Mike with most missions, and the love interest of Mike Traceur.



Bruce Davison as Charles Graiman, the creator of both the original KITT (Knight Industries Two Thousand) and the new KITT (Knight Industries Three Thousand) and is the father of Sarah.



Yancey Arias as Alex Torres is the head of Knight Industries operations.



Sydney Tamiia Poitier as FBI Agent Carrie Rivai. A trusted friend of the Graimans and Mike Traceur. Her character is strong-willed FBI agent.



Smith Cho as Zoe Chae is the very upbeat and seductive brainy chick behind some of the missions. She always tease Billy Morgan by being seductive.



Paul Campbell as Billy Morgan, is the main man and technical expert of Team Knight Rider. He doesn't like going on missions and prefer the desk jobs rather than being in the filled. I believe he has a secret crush on zoe (or was it really a secret?)



Val Kilmer voices of K.I.T.T. (Knight Industries Three Thousand), a Mustang with Artificial Intelligence, the latest "biometrics technology", a wide arsenal of offensive weaponry and more.

This is the team behind Knight Rider 2008 TV Series which packed with action, romance, cool cars, nifty gadgets, engaging episodes and gorgeous women.
