Django Unchained

Django Unchained is effervescent in brutality and the inescapable truths of the slavery past on the lands of the American south. Each individual character had a unique sense of personality imprinted in their story lines and this provided for a very unique and dynamic aspect to the movie. The characterizations are explored in a neo-noir perspective bringing together the nonlinear story lines, satirical imposition, and the stylistic sense of violence. Perhaps, the astounding aspect in movie can be explored from the camouflaged surrealism brought about from background music and the depiction of scenes that often seems to implode in ones face via crazy and archetypal gun violence. The rescue of two married lovers and their reunion is also explored in the atypical plot lines. One of the most unique characters is that of Stephen and the relationship between him and Candie. The movie displays that even black on black slavery brutality existed in past. It is in a way a bit of a conundrum the way the character of Stephen is portrayed in the movie. It is also an unfathomable truth that as the bounty hunter, after rescuing his wife, heads out into the yonder with his certificate of freedom in hand, perhaps his days are numbered till he is caught on the other side for the destruction of CandyLand and at a time when slavery may have been nearing its end.

House of Cards TV Series

House of Cards is all about watching Kevin Spacey (Frank Underwood) as the usual suspect in a political intrigue drama. The sequence of events all emerging through dynamic political upheaval, intertwined with political events, and corresponding to divisive character positions all in juxtaposition with one key character being Frank Underwood. Only in season 1 it has already become a well received tv series. Perhaps, the awe inspiring acting of Kevin Spacey makes all the difference in the quality of the drama. The political lies, the uncovering of truth and deception, and the multitude of events that transpire often times linked with Frank Underwood provide for a captivating drama. As the episodes unfold so does the deceptive and conniving plot lines of Frank.

24 TV Series

Although, 24 has been around for a while now since 2001 and with 8 seasons in merit it remains a diabolical masterpiece of intrigue, drama, and suspense. Each season, giving rise to a new story within the transitions of 24 episodes of counter terrorism. The uncompromising and limitless acting of Kiefer Sutherland in each episode emerges into an electrifying and engrossing experience for the viewer. Even the substandard acting in some of the characters does not disuage the realization of suspense that is delivered through Jack Bauer. I spent almost 8 weeks going through each season with open surround sound. It is a pity that it came to such an end after season 8. The episodes almost seemed like they were mini movies of their own entirety. Strangely enough, I found the character of the President Charles Logan in the season 5 and 6 very annoying and a real drag to watch. The intense and often artfully coordinated rescue scenes to the almost realistic torture sequences all appeared very indulging to watch. There have been plenty of crime dramas around focusing on law, politics, to forensic investigations. However, 24 remains an immense series of the past and potentially influencing many of the present and future.

Most Dangerous Cities In World Of 2013

Almost every city in world faces crime of some form or another. Especially, in poorest of neighborhoods is where crime seems to flourish. Crime seems to feed on the needy and helpless. In fact, greed can be another attribute where lack of resources and frustration with economic hardships can lead to crime and even family pressures. As the divide between the rich and poor increases so does the greed and jealousy. It seems lack of understanding or care for another is almost left behind for individuality. Perhaps, this is the dark corridor of capitalism where social norms are broken down where every one is thinking of themselves as an individual and competing for resources. Furthermore, as corruption within the public services and government increases it also adds to the reduction of safety and security in such cities. Thus, fueling uncertainty and lawlessness in these cities. Often times it is the civilians that are left paying the price for the failing governments in tackling crime effectively.

The following cities of the world have been rated as one of the most dangerous for crime fueled by drug trade, ruthless gang violence, poverty, and corruption:

San Pedro Sula (Honduras)
Maceio (Brazil)
Ciudad Juarez (Mexico)
Acapulco (Mexico)
Distrito Central (Honduras)
Caracas (Venezuela)
Chihuahua (Mexico)
Belem (Brazil)
Mogadishu (Somalia)
Karachi (Pakistan)

New Girl

So, they finally kiss on New Girl. It was a pretty steamy kiss that was well received. Although, the preamble leading up to it was rather meandering in quite a few exploratory directions. At times the show can be quite funny but quite a few times it was cheesy at best. The awful truth now lies in the way they handle each other after the kiss which will possibly make for another turning point. The show does seem to challenge their acting careers. Beyond the show neither of the actors seem to have any varied scope to their past successes in acting or lack thereof. I would have liked to have seen a bond developing into a relationship similar to 'Friends' but it remains to be seen as to how they progress on through the episodes. The show does try to display some similarities to 'Friends' but in a very college level demographic. Why do drama shows always seem to bounce actors around like every one is having sex with everyone else through the episodes? Is this the reality of culture we live in or perhaps the writers find interesting narratives in the different situations?

Touch Series

This show on fox explores the perplexing and mysterious supernatural world in which a savant boy and his father embark on a journey of self-discovery. Perhaps, with a twist of emotions, drama, and events that transpire within each episode draws an extra bit of connection between the father and the son. The father is entangled between the non-verbal communication of his son and the interpretation that drives him into new experiences. A life of communication led in form of numbers and the natural ratios of interconnected lives proves to provide clues into the supernatural and the lives of the many similarly unique individuals. Kiefer Sutherland plays the immense role of the father. Over each episode we are able to see an unravelling of stories and a parallel characterizations of relationships as well as the mysteries that lie within. Touch is a very one of a kind drama series which caters to audiences that are enchanted by the supernatural and yet are intrigued by the quality of drama that is brought on through the many unravelling adventures.

Burgers in London

Burgers in UK seem to be medium to small compared to America. It seems the British burgers get a bit stingy in the way they make their order sizes but are still able to squeeze in a hefty ounce of beef. Unfortunately, if one really wants to enjoy a burger then may want to have a helping of two rather than just one burger in UK. For some strange reason, they also give side orders of skinny fries but why would any one want such a ridiculous size of fries. Chunky homemade fries are the real deal that go with a meaty scrumptious burger. Generally, one has several options to enjoy a burger meal in the big city like London. One can head out to a pub and get a full meal deal which are quite a bargain also at times can be quite tasty. Another, option is if one is really pocket tight then to head over to McDonald's or the Burger King. But, these places will make you sick later and the burgers are full of additives. Another, option is to head over to open markets where they make fresh burgers right there and then especially around the City of London. But, my favoriate places are the dedicated burger joints that truly provide flavor. Not a big fan of Fine Burger or Gourmet Burger. And, places like Hard Rock Cafe, Sticky Fingers, or Fuddruckers have really lost their touch on quality food with excessive waiting queues and misplaced orders. Some of my favoriate burger places in London, where they use quality meat, would have to be:

Java Web Hosting

Java hosting has come along way as a result of cloud computing. As Java runs in a JVM it makes for appropriate language platform for large scale applications requiring several magnitudes of processing and load. The JVM also allows one to program in multiple alternative languages alongside Java such as Groovy and Scala. Java is also a very enterprise friendly language supporting a multitude of open source libraries and frameworks in a wide area of application domains. Java has always been a more expensive way to host an application on the web. However, the cloud has increased the possibilities for developers. There are quite a few cloud hosting providers that have started to provide Java support. A lot of them provide multiple language support.

However, one can always use a standard VPS or a dedicated server provider as an alternative for PaaS/IaaS for Java web hosting for which there are even more options available similar to Python.

Java Web Hosting
JSP Hosting

The following frameworks are often quite workable and supported on these cloud hosting platforms:
