Whale Rider (2002)

IMDB rating: 7.80

Plot: On the east coast of New Zealand, the Whangara people believe their presence there dates back a thousand years or more to a single ancestor, Paikea, who escaped death when his canoe capsized by riding to shore on the back of a whale. From then on, Whangara chiefs, always the first-born, always male, have been considered Paikea’s direct descendants. Pai, an 11-year-old girl in a patriarchal New Zealand tribe, believes she is destined to be the new chief. But her grandfather Koro is bound by tradition to pick a male leader. Pai loves Koro more than anyone in the world, but she must fight him and a thousand years of tradition to fulfill her destiny.

What's a good movie to watch?
I’m looking for a movie that has a deeper meaning than like a romantic comedy.

Is there anything like the whale rider or Samson And Delilah? I found both of those movies very interesting. I liked how they delt with love without being mushy and obvbious.

Or maybe something like The Green Mile or American History X. Idk I’m just in the mood for something sad.

Thanks!!!


Green Street Hooligans - this movie is truly based on my life! you will love it, its sad, and makes you think at the end..

Other movies..

The Departed

This Is England

"Let the Right One In"
Best movie I have ever seen, immediately after watching it I bought the book and the DVD.
It’s a swedish subtitled film from last year, but don’t let the subtitles put you off, it’s INCREDIBLE (:
It’s about two children who form a friendship, but there is something very dark about the girl.
Look up the trailer for it on YouTube and see what you think (:

What do you think of this?? :^)?
Almost every morning, i wake up and my cat, Lumpy, is sticking his head in the toilet bowl like a dog. One day, i watched him. He sticks his paw in the water and licks it. I don’t know if he likes that water or what but he knows he has a water fountain downstairs. I think he gets like drunk or high off the water because even if you scream his name he doesn’t get out of the bowl. You have to pick him up (because his paws are clinging to the seat and his head is in the bowl) and bring him somewhere else. Then, he lays down in the middle of the bathroom and even if you nudge him, he just lays there like a lump (know wonder his name is lumpy, right?). This is kind of a new thing for him since the past month or so. Can you tell me why he does this and if it’s healthy?? Should i keep the bathroom door closed?? Thank you if you answer. :^)
The toilet lid on my toilet is turned the opposite way as decoration, i cant close the lid. :^)


Unless it truly annoys you, no you don’t have to do anything. It is perfectly normal behavoir. I would close the bathroom door to stop Lumpy, though.

If you use some kind of cleaner in the toilet like drop in bleach or something, then definitely keep the door (or at least the lid) closed. If not he’s probably just discovered best place in the house to get fresh water since his fountain water probably isn’t changed out as often as the toilet is flushed.

LOL… I don’t know that I can help with Lumpy, but do know he has a "twin". The only solution I know is to keep the toilet lid down. I let Poppy watch the toilet flush, but as soon as she tries to touch I pick her up and lower the lid… show’s over at that point.

I don’t know a scientific reason why cats do that, but I’ve been told it has to do with fresh water. Also, cats can taste water, unlike humans, so some water sources may taste better than others!
Aras | Jan 31, 2010


I seriously do not have an answer for this one except that he loves toilet water… I am constantly having to keep my bathroom door shut since my cat either gets into the toilet water or lays in front of the toilet. I think your story is hilarious. Just let your kitty be himself, but shut your bathroom door… Kudos to you for addressing a problem we all (cat lovers) have dealt with in such a comedic way!!! I am giving you a star!!!

I need big, big help finding the title to the movie?
A little description of the movie from what I can remember:

In the beginning of it, there is a dude that’s on a love show, and he’s in the final two, he gets rejected. Later on, he finds the girl, and he kills her and the guy she picked before they went on a trip.

Then, he hosts a reality show, where about roughly 10 people come to his house, thinking their in a game to win a million dollars. They leave their cell phones at the door. They aren’t allowed to eat anything, and they’re actually trapped inside that house. Throughout the movie, the people do games, and every time a game happens, one person ends up getting snatched by the hostess brother, and they kill them. One chick does get buried alive when she thinks shes getting brought home.
Another part, there was two guys in a cage, with knifes, they had to kill eachother and the last one standing, won the challenge, and the other was dead.
Another, since they weren’t allowed to eat. He got a cow, and hung it. They all had to cut a part out of it to eat it, and he told them to be careful because it could get bloody, but they didn’t know that one of their old members was dead, inside of that cow.

Another part, would be by a pool. This was more in the beginning. They were running with a ankle braclet on, and finished when they reached the pool. The winner had to push someone in the pool, but he refused, then he got pushed into the pool with the braclet on, the team members jumped in a saved him.

If anyone could please, please help me figure out what this movie was called, I’ve been searching everywhere. Thank you so much!!!


reminds me of SAW

I saw this not too long ago - personally, i wouldn’t recommend it - as it seemed a waste of time by the end - The guy that stars in it was the kid from some of the Terminator movies:

It’s called: Cruel World (2005)

Plot:
"Reeling from his dismissal from a reality show, a deranged runner-up holds a group of co-eds hostage on the set of his own fictitious show, where losers suffer a deadly fate."
