Actually image of Teddy bear was created on the basis of the bear that Roosevelt refused to kill in a hunting activity. However, as more and more writers made its image much smaller and cuter, Teddy bear had become a favored toy for children just like Barbie dolls.

Due to the great success of Teddy bear, now the word is used to refer to all the toy bears with smooth and soft fur.

As a masterpiece by Steven Spielberg, the movie mainly tells about how a little robotic boy named David starts his way to find the fair lady in order to become a real boy with a cute Teddy bear and another robot named Joe.

Ted is just a realistic guy and even an erotic. All in all, Ted is definitely the most vulgar Teddy bear you have ever seen.

3 Impressive Images in Tobey Maguire Movies

As the son of a cook, he once dreamed to be a good cook like his father. As a famous actor, he just tries to live a peaceful and happy life. Now the man, Tobey Maguire is welcoming his 37th birthday. To many people, Tobey Maguire would still be a normal man if he hadn’t acted as Spider-Man.

However, the fact is that the Spider-Man Tobey Maguire had gained good reputations before his performance in Spider-Man trilogy. Comparing to other super-stars, Tobey owns much less movie works. However, this smart young man can always surprise the world with his excellent performance.

Besides the Spider-Man series, Maguire also cooperated with other famous actors or directors in Tobey Maguire movies. Therefore, to help Spider-Man fans to celebrate the birthday of Spider-Man Tobey Maguire, this post will present three impressive images in Tobey Maguire movies.

1. Humble and confused superhero

Spider-Man trilogy DVD

The superhero present by Tobey Maguire in Spider-Man trilogy is different from other superheroes. Neither as ambitious as Superman nor as irritating as Hulk, Spider-Man is more a man with stronger power than a superhero. Just like Tobey Maguire, Spider-Man is a peace lover because he only fights back when he has to.

In the Spider-Man trilogy, our superhero is a confused man. In Spider-Man, he is confused and even afraid of his power. He doesn’t know what to do with himself. In Spider-Man 2, the superhero is so confused about his future and love that he unconsciously lost all his power. In Spider-Man 3, the hero is again lost after he gets the strange black suit.

However, the humble and confused image of Spider-Man is impressive because Maguire owns those qualities as well. On the release of Spider-Man 2, Tobey even asked the theater to turn off the light so that he could site among audience without being notices.

2. Compassionate doctor

The Cider House Rule DVD

Previously to Spider-Man movies, Tobey Maguire gained good reputations in a movie named The Cider House Rule. With the cooperation between Tobey and Charlize Theron, The Cider House Rule gained several Academy Awards. As for Tobey, he got several nominations for his image as a compassionate doctor in the film.

In The Cider House Rule, Homer is a skilled but unlicensed doctor who grows up in an orphanage. In order to see the world, he decides to leave the household and works in a cinder house. There he experiences love, war and agony. In the end, the compassionate doctor Homer decides to return to the orphanage.

3. Brave solider

Ride with the Devil DVD

Ride with the Devilis movie directed by a Chinese director Ang Lee in 1999. Unlike other Civil War movies, Ride with the Devil focused more attention on the Bushwhackers, irregulars loyal to the South. It tells a story of how a boy named Jake Roedel joins the Bushwhackers and become a brave solider in a few months. However, as he witnesses the behaviors of the Bushwhackers, he decides to leave them.

It was said that DiCaprio once wanted be act as Jake. However, the director thought Tobey was more qualified for the role after their cooperation in The Ice Storm. Jake is a character that is not only brave and strong but also kind of violent. However, Spider-Man Tobey Maguire had proved that he could be a tough guy as well in Ride with the Devil.

Those are the three impressive roles in Tobey Maguire movies. With the wonderful image of a superhero, a doctor and a soldier, Tobey had proved himself a qualified actor. For those who want to watch those movies via mobiles on Tobey’s birthday, they can convert those DVDs with DVD Ripper.

The movie tells about the story of how a dancing penguin is driven out of the home by the community for being unable to sing.

2. The Golden Compass

The Golden Compass DVD

In fact, Nicole had also proved that it is a right choice with her wonderful performance.

The Golden Compass mainly tells a story about how a girl named Lyra Belacqua accepts her destiny to rescue the world with a golden compass on her journey to look for those lost children.

3. Batman Forever

Batman Forever DVD

Superhero movies can always attract people's attention. As a 1995 movie, Batman Forever had gained over 336 million dollars in box office. Though the performance was good, it obviously could do better as a Batman movie. When you find that the movie is actually starred by Nicole Kidman, Jim Carrey and Tom Lee Johns, the movie can be viewed as a failure to some extent.

Batman Forever is a movie about how Batman fights against Two-Face and The Riddler in order to protect the city. However, those two enemies are too powerful that Batman needs to seek for help from a psychologist as well as Robin. Of course, the psychologist is acted by Nicole Kidman.

Top 4 War Movies on Normandy Landings to Help You Know about D-Day

In order to liberate the mainland of Europe from Nazi, the allied invasion of Normandy was staged on June 6, 1944.Normandy landings was a significant turning point in the war history. After Normandy landings, allied forces had won one battle after another until Nazi's surrender. Nowadays, D-Day has become another name of Normandy landing.

D-Day as a military jargon refers to the day on which a combat attack or operation is to be initiated. However, since the date of Normandy landings is the best known D-Day, people are using D-Day to indicate the date of Normandy landings. In order to honor this great day, many movies on Normandy landings had been made. Therefore, this post will show you top 3 war movies on Normandy landings to help you know about D-Day.

1. Saving Private Ryan

Saving Private Ryan DVD

As a masterpiece by Steven Spielberg, the movie is regarded as the best movie on Normandy landings. Starring by Matt Damon and Tom Hanks, the movie successfully gained over 47 million dollars in box office. Though it couldn't get the Best Motion Picture in Academy Awards, Saving Private Ryan is described by those veterans of Normandy battle as vividly present the cruelty of the war.

In the beginning of the movie are the scenes of Normandy landings where bullets fly in the sky and soldiers fall down one by one. Saving Private Ryan mainly tells about a story of how a group of soldiers led by Capt. John H. Miller try to go behind enemy line to save a soldier named Ryan whose three brothers are killed in the war.

For John Miller and his followers, every step he makes may become the last step of his life. As group members fall down one by one, he starts to wonder whether it is right to exchange many soldiers' lives for one soldier. However, he insists on the task and manages it. This movie is not only about D-Day, but also humanity.

2. The Longest Day

The Longest Day DVD

Before Saving Private Ryan, The Longest Day was viewed as the best movie on D-Day. In order to make the movie as real as possible, the script writer spent ten years on searching relative information about D-Day. Also Maj. John Howard and Ranger at Ponte du Hoc were performed by veterans of D-Day. It was also said Dwight Eisenhower was also willing to act in the movie.

The Longest Day presents the scenes of Normandy landings in five separate invasion points. In order to make the movie impressive, the director describes the D-Day with the point of view from both allied forces and Germany soldiers. Besides that, The Longest Day surprised all the people with the starring of 42 international stars at that time. The movie got several prizes in the Academy Awards.

3. Female Agents

Female Agents DVD

It is weird to make a D-Day movie without focusing on the battle scenes of Normandy landings. It is even weird if the main characters are starred by females. However, Female Agents, as film centered on Female Agents, successfully surprise many without battle scenes. As a movie made on the basis of a true story, Female Agent will present you a historical event before D-Day.

In the movie, after a geologist is captured while inspecting the terrain features of Normandy, a group of agents receive the mission to save him. Led by Louise, those Female Agents have successfully completed their mission. However, after they know the plan of D-Day is found by a Germany office, they need to assassinate Heindrich to safeguard the success of D-Day.

Those are the best three movies on Normandy landings. With them, you can not only know the battles on D-Day but also things that happened before D-Day. If you want to watch them via iPhone 4S, you can convert those DVDs to mp4 files with DVD Ripper.

Top 3 Evil Images in Charlize Theron Movies

The release of Snow White and Huntsman has received great success last week by topping the ranking list in box office. As a movie created on the basis of the original fairy tale, Snow White and Huntsman is bold enough to attach different plot to it. However, this proves to be a successful attempt.

As one of the stars in Snow White and Huntsman, Charlize Theron draws most attentions as an Oscar prize winner. The image of the evil and envy queen in Snow White and Huntsman is something of Alieen alike, the role that helps her to win Best Actress. Therefore, people are hoping she can do as excellent as she used to in Monster.

If you pay enough care to Charlize Theron movies, you will find yourself being impressed by those evil images she created in the movies other than good images. Here this post will have a view at top three evil images in Charlize Theron movies.

1. Ashley in Reindeer Games

Reindeer Games DVD

As an early Charlize Theron movie, Reindeer Games was released in 2000. In the movie, Charlie Theron fully makes fully of her charms to seduce a poor guy named Nick Cassidy so that he can be utilized to fulfill her conspiracy. Though just acted as a supporting role, Charlize Theron had done good enough to let us remember a beautiful woman with evil heart named Ashley.

In the movie, as the roommate of Nick Cassidy is killed, Nick decides to use cellmate's identity to get with his girlfriend. However, he later finds himself forced to participant in a casino heist. He also finds that all those things are planned by Ashley. She not only utilizes him but also those gangs with her beauty. Nick needs to find a way to help himself out.

2. Alieen in Monster

Monster DVD

With the image of Alieen, Charlize Theron successfully got Best Actress. Monster is produced on the basis of a true story about the notorious murders in American history. To make her more fit for the job, Charlize had to gain 30 pounds and make up as an ugly woman. However, her efforts had been paid back in Academy Awards.

The movie mainly tells the story of how Alieen becomes a killer after being abandoned by her parents and the society. When she wants to live a normal life, nobody is willing to help her. However, when being maltreated by a man, Alieen kills him accidentally and robs his money. After that, she can’t control her desire for blood. Alieen is definitely the most impressive evil image Charlize Theron has ever made.

3. Ravenna in Snow White and Huntsman

Snow White and Huntsman DVD

Snow White and Huntsman has gotten over 56.25 million dollars in box office. The achievement helps Snow White and Huntsman becomes the Charlize Theron movie with second highest box office in the beginning, only inferior to Hancock. However, Charlize Theron defeated Men in Black 3 which is a movie acted by her partner in Hancock, Will Smith with Snow White and Huntsman.

I believe no one is more qualified than Charlize Theron as Ravenna. In the movie, the evil queen will do what she can to kill the beautiful princess. In the movie, Ravenna sends a huntsman to kill Snow White. However, she finds the huntsman not only betrays her but also tries to train Snow White to fight against her. Then Ravenna does what she can to wipe out the opposed force.

Those are the three images in Charlize Theron movies. If you want to watch Monster or Reindeer Games with iPhone 4S, you may try to convert the DVDs to mp4 videos via DVD Ripper. For Snow White and Huntsman, you can download and convert relative YouTube clips.

The Evolution Of Batman Movie

Last weekend, The Avengers won the world's respects with 200 million dollars in box office.It has become the number one hot spot at present and even threats the dominance of Avatar, the most profitable movie in history.

With the league consists of Hulk, Iron Man, Black Widow, Thor and Captain America, even Harry Potter can't stop its success. A hot topic today is which movie can compete with The Avengers this year. Among all the candidates, The Dark Knight Rises is a promising one.

Batman movie has gone through major ups and downs in the past twenty years. Several years ago, when Batman movie was regarded as a poison to the box office performance, no one would expect it could be so popular at present. This post will take you to have a view at the evolution of Batman movie.

1. Batman

Batman DVD

As the first member of Batman series, this movie was released in 1989 and ranked first in terms of box office performance at that time. With the direction of Tim Burton, this film was cold and creepy in atmosphere. This movie mainly tells you the battle between Batman and Joker. This movie makes a good start for the whole Batman series.

2. Batman Returns

Batman Return DVD

As the director, Tim Burton told the world the return of Batman in 1992. In the movie Batman needs to fight against penguin man who is lonely and cruel in nature. Catwoman will also give her performance here. This movie ranked third in box office at that time. Though it was still popular, it was less influential. Since this movie, Batman movie had gone through a tough time for long.

3. Batman and Robin

Batman and Robin DVD

With the cast consists of Schwarzenegger, Uma Thurman and George Clooney, this movie aims to gain those lost places for Batman movie. However, it was proved to be a disaster. This movie had pushed Batman movie to the lowest place. Due to the heavy loss of this movie, no director dared to direct Batman movie for 8 years.

4. Batman Begins

Batman Begins DVD

In 2005, Nolan saved the fame of Batman movie with Batman Begins. He was bold enough to ignore all the successful factors made by Tim Burton to make the movie with his own style. This movie is extraordinary different in style comparing to its predecessors.

This movie is old in plot. It tells a story of how Batman becomes a superhero by learning from a man named Ducard and how he begins his way to wipe out evils. However, Nolan successfully gave new birth to the old story. This movie ranked third in box office at that time.

5. The Dark Knight

The Dark Knight DVD

Released in 2008, this movie witnessed the great achievements Batman movie could get. It has not only created one legend after another in box office and also brought many fans to Batman movie. Without The Dark Knight, The Dark Knight Rises couldn't be viewed as one of the most anticipated movie in 2012. Of course, The Dark Knight helped Batman movie regain first place in box office that year.

T

hose are the evolutions of Batman movie. After suffering so much, we believe Nolan will present us a good movie that can match with The Dark Knight. So if you want to watch Batman movie with The new iPad, you may as well convert those DVDs to mp4 files for The new iPad with DVD Ripper.

As a mysterious character for thousands of years, the location of Tutankhamun tomb had troubled one generation archaeologists after another. Howard Carter managed the tasks that his predecessors had tried for thousand years. Without a strong will and brave heart, Howard Carter couldn't have completed the mission.

Howard Carter has set a good example for all the archaeologists; therefore you can always trace the image of Howard Carter from those archaeologists in the movies.

Raiders of the Lost Ark DVD

As an archaeologist in the movie world, Indiana Jones has been enjoying an unprecedented reputation. He gained his fame from Raiders of the Lost Ark, a movie directed by Steven Spielberg.The great success of this movie made it a milestone in the movie field.

Indiana Jones is actually something of James Bond alike in quality. He is humorous, brave, smart and knowledgeable man with strong curiosity. In Raiders of the Lost Ark, Indiana Jones gets the mission to find The Ark of the Covenant. However, he needs to do it secretly without being noticed by the Nazi. Hence in the movie you can see how Jones manages this task with his knowledge while fooling the Nazi with his intelligence.

2. Rick O'Connell from The Mummy: Tomb of the Dragon Emperor

Tomb of the Dragon Emperor

As the character in The Mummy saga, Rick O'Connell has gone through his adventure mainly in Egypt. However in this movie he will come to China to finish another hard task just as Howard Carter did.

Tutankhamun tomb and the tomb of the first emperor of Qin are regarded as two most mysterious tombs ever. Just like Tutankhamun tomb, it took archaeologists thousand years to find its location.

3 Factors That Help The Avengers To Beat Harry Potter

One of the biggest events in the film industry at present is the great success of The Avengers. Since its debut in May 5th, it has received over 200 million dollars in box office and has created a new record, making its former keeper Harry Potter's 168 million dollars a gone history.

Two million dollars in box office are the final achievements of some films like Percy Jackson and the Olympians: The Lightning Thief, which is named another version of Harry Potter. However, The Avengers has managed it in two days and hence becomes the biggest menace to Avatar, the film with the highest box office recipients.

Harry Potter vs The Avengers

Every movie of Harry Potter series is a guarantee to the box office performance and Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 2 as the last movie in this series has received unprecedented attention. How come The Avengers can beat it so easily? Here the post will show you factors that help The Avengers to beat Harry Potter.

1. The plot

As a superhero movie, the plot of The Avengers is known to all: bad guys appear and superheroes manage to beat them. To this extent, Harry Potter should have beaten The Avengers easily in terms of the plot because you cannot trace the plot of a new Harry Potter movie that easily.

However, Rotten Tomatoes has given them almost the same fresh rate which means that The Avengers is also excellent in plot. More importantly, Harry Potter movies are directed based on the novel so you can get to know the plot before the movie. To me, I had already known the fate of Harry before I watched that movie. This makes Harry Potter less attractive than The Avengers in plot.

2. The influence

One must admit that the influence of Harry Potter is beyond comparison among youth. However, the failure of Harry Potter has proved to us that a magician is not powerful enough to beat five superheroes.

Superhero movie is always popular in America. Movies like Spiderman, Superman and Iron Man can always guarantee box office performance. Harry can beat any single of them, but once they have united, Harry has to accept his failure. More importantly, those heroes can not only attract youth but also those middle-age people who were fond of those superheroes in their childhood.

3. The arrangement

In terms of arrangement, Harry Potter has successfully kept audience in suspense by dividing Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows into two parts. It worked and lead to the great success of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 2. However, The Avengers has done better in this field.

So let's have general view at those superheroes in the movie: Iron Man, Black Widow, Thor, Captain America, Hulk and Hawkeye. If you have no idea about any of them, you can know them via four movies. Among those heroes, movies on Thor and Captain America were made in 2011.

This can be viewed as steps to pave the way for The Avengers. More importantly, you can trace the association between The Avengers and those two movies. Captain America wakes up in the end because he needs to cooperate with other heroes in The Avengers. Loki as an evil image in Thor successfully joins in the evil side of The Avengers. We are all looking forward to the cooperation between those superheroes.

Due to those three factors, The Avengers has successfully broken the record made by Harry Potter. If you want to make a good comparison between those two movies, you may watch The Avengers in the cinema and convert the DVD of Harry Potter to mp4 files for The new iPad with DVD Ripper.

Greeks had created this day to show their honor to Cybele, mother of Zeus. Though its influence had been spread to Rome, a powerful empire at that time, it was America that made Mother's Day famous in the world.

It is said that the Rome would celebrate Mother's Day for three days at the time when Mother's Day was far less influential. At present, Mother's Day has already become world famous and people in the world are celebrating it in their own ways. This post will show you the celebrations of Mother's Day in the world.

The Origin And Celebrations Of International Workers’ Day

International Workers' Day is also called May Day because many countries choose to celebrate it on May 1st. Though less influential than Christmas or Easter in the world arena, International Workers' Day is still an important festival. Many countries view it as a day to show people's honor towards workers.

strikes in Foxcnn

Recently, according to CNET, a strike has taken place in Foxconn Brazil, a main partner of Apple. People begin to worry about the sales of Apple product may be affected. It is said the bad traffic condition and poor quality of food have annoyed the workers in Brazil.

Days later, a strike happens in Foxconn China, some workers threat to jump off roof if they see no raise in salary. This is not the first strike happens in Foxconn China nor will it be the last one. As International Works' Day 2012 approaches, those strikes remind me of the origin of International Works' Day.

the origin of International Works' Day

1. In 1880, workers in America marched in the street to show their furies at long working hour and poor salary.

2. In 1884, a bill on eight-hour work system was passed. According to the bill, this system would be implemented on May 1st, 1886. However it failed to make things better because workers still had to work for over ten hours.

3. In April, 1886, over 250 thousand workers joined in a demonstration in Chicago to show their anger which had frightened the local tycoons. More police forces were sent to support public stability.

4. In May 1, 1886, some policemen were attacked which led to the fight between workers and the police. Some workers were seriously hurt as well as some policemen who were shot by friendly fire.

5. In July, 1889, Engels announced the date, May 1st, as International Workers' Day. On May 1st, 1890, workers in various countries held demonstrations to celebrate International Workers' Day.

celebrations of International Workers' Day

So those are the origin of International Workers' Day. Due to its significance, countries celebrated it in various ways. Countries like Russia and Cuba will hold magnificent celebrations in their capitals. People in Thailand and Peru will get one day rest while people in Japan can have a seven-day holiday. However, Italian has to go to work on this day.

Those are some celebrations of International Workers' Day. Though they may vary in form, but they are all held for the same purpose: show honor and respect to workers. On International Workers' Day, we can also have our own celebrations.

For example, in order to know the life of workers better, you can rent some movies on workers and watch them with DVD Player. If you would like to watch those DVDs with iPad, you can convert those DVDs to mp4 files for iPad with DVD Ripper.

3 Movies To Watch On Nick Kristof’s Birthday

Nick Kristof, a British journalist who has won Pulitzer Prize twice is having his birthday today. Men like him who devote themselves to do good for the society deserve our honor and respect. In order to celebrate his birthday, various activities are proposed.

According to a post in CNET, a man proposes an activity to celebrate Nick Kristof's birthday by adding "of" to the end of our tweet accounts for several days. If you are interested in it, you can join in this activity. This is a good way, but I prefer to celebrate Nick Kristof's birthday with my own way.

There is just one Nick Kristof in real life but there are some such journalists in the movie world who are as just and kind as Nick Kristof. They all devote themselves to making a better world and insisting on their principles and professional ethics.

I would like to watch those films to celebrate Nick Kristof's birthday because those characters in the movie also deserve our honor. Here this post will show you three movies to watch on Nick Kristof's birthday.

1. Nothing But the Truth

Nothing But The Truth DV

In the movie, you can not only see Selene (a Vampire in Underworld) but also Ross Geller (a character in Friends). More importantly, this is a movie about the battle between professional ethics and the politics. In the movie, the journalist named Rachel fights against various threats to keep her professional ethics.

A report revealed by Rachel leads to the death of a FBI and puts the issue of national security on the table. As the Homeland Security officers and FBI agencies threat her to reveal the source of her report, she refuses. Of course, this makes her lose everything and spend years in prison. However, she never gives in because she knows revealing the source of news is not what a journalist shall do.

2. The Insider

The Insider DVD

In the movie, you will see Al Pacino, my favorite star who has just spent his birthday yesterday. He acts as a journalist who is fearless to those evils and threats. As he interviews a professional chemist who risks his life unveiling the evil side of tobacco tycoons, he decides to unveil the interview video.

However, Lowell Bergman has to overcome all the obstacles before him that are laid by those tycoons. As a journalist, Lowell Bergman chooses to fight against the world only to public the truth and warn people the harm of tobacco. Isn't Lowell Bergman something of Nick Kristof?

3. Hancock

Hancock DVD

So am I about to recommend Hancock, the superhero? No. In the movie there is a character with kind heart that devotes to making the world better just as Nick Kristof. He patiently changes Hancock to a real superhero favored by all from an asshole.

In the movie, Ray is a man with great ambition who wants to make the world better. As he realizes he can't manage it alone, he decides to put his hope on Hancock because he knows Hancock can manage it. From the beginning to the end, Ray is a character who just wants to make the world better. Isn't that the same dream as Nick Kristof.

So for the goods of the world, you can join in us to support Nick Kristof either by tweeting your name or by watching those movies. If you want to watch them on iPad instead of DVD Player, that's OK. You can convert the DVDs to mp4 files for iPad with DVD Ripper.

Three Good Movies On Football To Watch

The UEFA Champions League known as the Champions League is an annual international club football competition for the top football clubs in Europe. The attention this event can draw is no less than FIFA World Cup. The winner of Champions League is a great honor for all European clubs.

However, Champions League 2012 has surprised all and proves to the world that nothing is impossible in football field. FC Barcelona, the most promising team to win this honor had been surprisingly eliminated. A day later, his fellow, another powerful competitor for the honor, Real Madrid met waterloo as well.

Real-Madrid vs Bayern Munich

Therefore, either Bayern Munich or Chelsea will be the winner. The result leaves those reporters and experts standing there speechless. Though many fans are disappointed, the result shows the world the essence of this event: the uncertainty of the result.

Everything is possible in football field. This is true not only in real life but also in films. This post will show you three movies on football to watch and take you to see the miracles created by those characters.

1. The Miracle of Bern

The Miracle of Bern DVD

The movie is based on the true story that happened in World Cup 1954. At that time, under the leadership of top "phenomenon" stars like Puskas and Kocsi, the Hungry hadn't experienced any failures for four years. More importantly, it easily slaughtered Germany in the group match.

Due to all those facts, the victory of Germany in 1954 was named "The Miracle of Bern". This movie was released in 2003 based on those facts. It was said that the movie even moved the Germany Chancellor Schroeder. If you are interested in The Miracle of Bern, this movie is highly recommended.

2. Goal !

Goal ! DVD

How hard can it be to be a football star? Generally speaking you need to join in the youth training camp of a club. With outstanding performance, you may be chosen to be the candidate of a normal player. So it is a miracle for an ordinary people without any professional training experience to become a football star. However, the character in Goal ! manages this miracle.

The character Santiago is born in a poor Mexican family with the only hobby of playing football. As he is discovered and recommended by a British ex-pro, he decides to leave home for Britain to pursuit his dream. Of course, he goes through a lot of hardships and difficulties in this process.

3. Victory

Victory DVD

This movie is also based on a famous story during World War II. At that time Germany wanted to show off their power by matching with a team temporarily set up by prisoners of war. In the very beginning, prisoners just planned to escape from the camp during the match. However, when they stood on the field, dignity and responsibility changed their ideas and they decided to beat Germany heavily in the match.

In the movie, you can not only see Stallone but also Pele and Beckenbauer. This movie actually tells you that sometimes there is something more important than life. This movie is definitely worth seeing. Not only for the stars in the movie, but for the spirits of those prisoners.

Those are three good movies on football. They all tell us a simple truth: nothing is impossible in football field. If you want to see them, you can watch with your DVD Player or convert DVDs to mp4 files for iPad with DVD Ripper.

3 Most Suitable Movies To Watch In 4.19

You may have been asked by others about your plan in April 19. You will probably be quite confused since you can't recall any significant meaning of that day. Is it Valentine's Day? Is it Easter? Nope, it is a funny day for its name. Try to spell the number in 4.19 respectively in English.

Yes, you've got it. It is called "For One Night" day (similar to four one nine in pronunciation). I have to admire human's wisdom. Two unrelated things are connected in such a way by the power of human's imagination. It must be thought by a humorous genius.

Anyway, on April 19th, I want to recommend you three movies that are related to one night stay. I think they are three most suitable movies to watch in 4.19.

1. Last Night

Last Night DVD

It tells a story about a loving couple who are facing the temptation of one night stay respectively. Mike is tempted by his charming workmate Laura while Joanna by his former lover Alex. One night, Mike happens to go for a business trip with Laura which makes Joanna uneasy.

All the stories happen from the one night stay. The relationship between Joanna and Mike has changed slightly since then. This is a movie about love, betrayal, sex and ethic. It may not be that exciting as Avatar, but it can shock you with the plot.

2. Derailed

Derailed DVD

So if you want to see an exciting movie about one night stay, you may refer to this movie. With the cooperation between Clive Owen and Jennifer Aniston, the box office receipts of this movie are guaranteed. It is neither a love story nor a story about ethic. It is something of a suspense movie.

It mainly tells a story of how a man is seduced by a woman and then be blackmailed for the one night stay. In order to protect his family, he has to give in until one day he finds out the truth that the one night stay is a conspiracy. Then the man begins his way of revenge. It is recommended because it tells you one night stay is not only exciting but also dangerous.

3. Management

Management

Unlike the former two mentioned above, this movie is a pure love story. It mainly tells how a timid man tries to pursuit his love after one night stay with a female customer. He tries to save money and flies to thousand miles away to find the woman he loves.

The funny thing is that he is so impulsive that he even fails to get enough money for a round-trip ticket. Because of the one night stay, the love story between a country man and a white collar in a metropolis begins. Of course this is a comedian.

So are there any other better choices for you than watching those movie in 4.19? Here I have presented you a warm story, a suspense story and a funny story. Hence, why not watch them with DVD or convert those DVDs to mp4 files for iPad with DVD Ripper?

With The Rise Of Its Component, How Will iPhone 5 React

The debut of The new iPad in March successfully drew people's attention. This updated version of iPad 2 has disappointed some people with so few changes comparing to iPad 2. Recently, the update of Apple TV attracted the world's attention again. However, it seems that Apple disappoints people again.

Every product of Apple can be so influential because Apple can always shock people with its technological innovation. How influential Apple can be? Even without the release of any products, Apple is discussed by many recently. People are expecting the new generation of its most successful product: iPhone.

Rumors about iPhone 5 are spreading. The same thing happens to iPad before March this year. It is said that iPhone 5 will be released in October. Usually, the release of a new generation of iPhone can help Apple earn much money. Since Apple release iPhone series, its share price has jumped to over $630. Some experts even predict that its share price will exceed $1000 this year. However, there are too many hurdles lying before iPhone 5.

Lumia 900

Nokia has release Lumia 900 as an attempt to become one of the top mobile sellers in America. Lumia 900 owns a good start by being the best seller in Amazon in just a few days. Once Nokia can regain its position with Lumia 900, Apple will have to share the potential consumers of iPhone 5 with Nokia. The Windows Phone system will soon shares the potential users of iOS. To some extent, the fate of iPhone 5 is connected to the fate of Lumia 900.

Android-VS-Apple-1

Android, a powerful competitor for iOS, is another hurdle lying before iPhone 5. It is reported that Android mobile occupies over 60% market share in China, lagging iPhone far behind. The release of Samsung Galaxy last year proved that it was no less charming than iPhone. In order to be a new legend, iPhone 5 must convince people that they are far sexier than Android mobile which is quite difficult.

Nokia is a potential enemy while Android mobile is a powerful enemy who is strengthening its power. Under this condition, iPhone 5 must prove itself with some technological innovations as its predecessors have done.

However, based on the performance of The new iPad and the update to Apple TV, iPhone 5 may disappoint people again. Maybe it will become an updated version of iPhone 4S by just making a few modifications in its design. If iPhone 5 disappoints people again, it will be a red alert for Apple.

With the rise Of its competitors, how will iPhone 5 react? Before the release of iPhone 5, no one knows the answer. However, that will be another story. Currently, iPhone is quite a useful tool for entertainment especially for watching videos.

In order to help you enjoy videos with iPhone, you can refer to four tools: Video Converter, DVD Ripper, Moyea YouTube FLV Downloader Pro and Moyea SWF to iPhone Converter.
