Jackie Chan is to play a leading role in social commercial about safe sex

Famous comedian and martial arts master Jackie Chan is to play a leading role in social commercial about safe sex. Such advertising campaign will be carried out in China and it will be the first campaign of such scale in this country.

The main aim of the campaign is to convince young Chinese of the necessity to use condoms in order to prevent AIDS. The creators of the commercials are Ruby Yan and Thomas Lennon, who got Oscar in 2007 for the documentary about AIDS in China.

According to the script, Jackie Chan and Pen Liuan will meet young people or watch them in different situations, declaring the key motto of the campaign: Life is good, please, use condoms! Social advertisement about safe sex will be displayed in buses, trains, aircrafts and also in Internet.

In 1999 I was already the attempt to tell about condom use necessity on TV. However the campaign was promptly closed because of ban on condom advertising as it was considered to be propaganda of sexual dissipation.

There are about 700 000 officially registered AIDS sufferers in China. For 2007 their number increased considerably.

The Incredible Hulk

For those that know only of the original comic book Hulk, the TV series Hulk, or the regrettable Ang Lee Hulk, you should know that this new version is a mixture of origins.

I can truly say that this version captures a little of everything, so that no matter what your knowledge is of the Hulk character, there's tie-ins to everything.

The story is about Bruce Banner who is trying to cure is condition that turns him into a monster but is going to use it as his weapon against the Abomination. The plot may seem simple but it is better that way because you can just concentrate on the action and the monsters.

This time the Hulk is more darker and sinister looking and is more muscular than Ang Lee's Hulk. The Abomination was the icing & cherry on the cake and I'm glad that they had a proper villain this time.

His name really does match his personality and he is not wearing any underpants, so girls you might want to look away otherwise you might get a fright. Overall this movie is Incredible not an Abomination.

What Happens in Vegas

“What Happens in Vegas” fell into that category — and it still was a good movie. Comedy played a bigger part than romance, and that seemed to make this movie go a long way.

Ashton Kutcher plays Jack Fuller, a lazy bachelor who doesn’t take anything seriously. Fuller eventually gets fired from his job — by his dad.

Cameron Diaz plays Joy McNally, a woman obsessed with making herself perfect for her fianc. Unfortunately for McNally, a surprise birthday party she planed for him goes awry when he ends their engagement just outside the door to that party.

Naturally, Fuller and McNally figure they will drown their sorrows in Vegas. By mere movie coincidence, they meet in Sin City.

Director: Tom Vaughan
Genre: Comedy, Romance
Country: USA
Cast: Cameron Diaz - Joy McNally
Ashton Kutcher - Jack Fuller
Rob Corddry – Hater
Lake Bell – Tipper
Dennis Farina – Banger
