In North Dakota Theodore Roosevelt is a giant. You can find something dedicated to or named after Teddy Roosevelt almost in all towns. I have written a couple of research papers about Theodore Roosevelt and read few books about him. 
Truly, he was a unique character in his time. What kind of President is without character, right? Although he came from an elite social class, he managed to find his place among ordinary ranchers and farmers in Dakota territories of that time (South Dakota, North Dakota). As he claimed, Badlands changed his way of life and revitalized his lost "world." He said he never would have been a President if it had not been his experience in North Dakota. 
Also he was a great orator. Frankly, Mongolian leaders need to learn how to give a speech, specially Presidents. Below you can find his inauguration speech. I hope you will enjoy reading it!

A long time ago when I was in high school I remember this song was a hit in Russian billboard. Just to refresh memories, some of you may know this band and its songs. Enjoy!

Young girl with a brain tumor received a grand prize (T550,000) from a contest. I am really glad her family won the money! 

From all the Presidents of the United States of America my most favorite is certainly John F. Kennedy. Thus, I put his speech addressed to Berlin people, which is his one of the most famous speeches. 

Berlin address speech-June 26, 1963

I am proud to come to this city as the guest of your distinguished Mayor, who has symbolized throughout the world the fighting spirit of West Berlin. And I am proud to visit the Federal Republic with your distinguished Chancellor who for so many years has committed Germany to democracy and freedom and progress, and to come here in the company of my fellow American, General Clay, who has been in this city during its great moments of crisis and will come again if ever needed. Two thousand years ago the proudest boast was "civis Romanus sum." Today, in the world of freedom, the proudest boast is "Ich bin ein Berliner."

George Bush. 
He is just a funny man. In last decade I learned one thing for sure, "Don't elect a funny man as a president of your nation!" 
Below videos are hilarious, and some people will argue with me that it is not all right to make fun of a president. Frankly, come ooon!

A video clip's theme is copied from someone. I am sure that I have seen almost identical video somewhere. Frankly I really enjoyed listening to song. I guess it is one of the new bands that roots from a TV-show called "Universe Best Songs 2009". 

The other day I watched a movie called The Specialist with Sylvester Stallone and Sharon Stone. So for the first time I listened to Vickie's Turn the beat around. Maybe some of you remember this music back in the day when some of you were in the first grade or something. Anyways it's nice to hear it once again. Take some break from your work or study and listen to Vickie's Turn the beat around.

Kick-ass 2010

Directed by: Matthew Vaughn
Cast: Aaron Johnson, Mark Strong, Chloe Grace Moretz, Nicolas Cage, etc.


A very entertaining "R" rated movie, I enjoyed watching it. Blood and super violence, but very funny. If you don't like a bloody violent movie, then it is not for you. Obviously the film is originated from the comic book called "Kick-ass." There is nothing really talk about the plot. Like any other super-hero action movies there are bad guys and there are few good guys, thus they fight until someone get kicked his/her butt. Straight-forward. 


Mark Strong is just born to be a villain. His facial expression and voice are perfect for the role. I say, Mark is the one of the best villains in movie history. Eh, Nicolas Cage. A hard working actor who's never getting tired of acting, I guess. He did his stuff, nothing more. Sometimes his funny, but mostly not. I believe, he is just not that type of actor who suits to comedy roles. 


In the end, if you need to kill some time, Kick-ass would be the best choice for now. But then probably you already watched it, so why bother...hehehe...

Unthinkable

Directed by: Gregor Jordan
Cast: Michael Sheen, Samuel L Jackson, Carrie-Ann Moss


An American citizen, a former military personnel, claims that he put three nuclear bombs in three American cities. Thus, USA's top intelligence and anti-terrorist agencies take actions to recover information in order to find those bombs (pretty logical). The terrorist allows himself to be caught, so he can face his "oppressor" face-to-face. Samuel L Jackson played as an agent 'H' who specializes in torturing captives. And the story goes on. As far as I understand, the film tried to show how far people and government can go to succeed in what they believe is right. But the government is more interested in protecting the government's Middle Eastern policy. Also, there are many scenes when both the terrorist and his torturer plays mind games against each other.


Samuel L Jackson is one of my favorite African-american actors. I guess everyone will agree with me that he does his job pretty good, but with out much flavor. So he was as usual in this movie. Carrie-Ann Moss played as a FBI agent with high standards of morale and ethics. She was pretty good, though sometimes she looked unbelievable cheesy. I must applause to Michael Sheen-the terrorist. He was absolutely wonderful and did an extra-ordinary job in this movie. Even at some point I thought I  saw his face on TV that he is wanted or something (lol), but you know he is very alike with Tony Blair a former Prime minister of the Great Britain. 


In summary, I recommend to all people except with heart conditions and children (there are many gruesome scenes). Although the plot and story is not particularly unique, the final twist is quite interesting.
