sandra_bullockThe Oscar-winning duo Sandra Bullock and Tom Hanks will co-star in the big screen adaptation of Jonathan Safran Foer’s novel. The name of film temporarily is called “Extremely Loud & Incredibly Close”.

The novel follows a 9-year-old boy whose father was killed in the terrorist attacks(911). The boy finds a key in a vase that belonged to his father and sets out on a mission to discover what it unlocks.

I wonder what’s the relationship between key and terrorist attacks. Generally that is impossible as the writter will not fabricate a story that is a real event but far away from the fact clearly known by us, like that the boy’s father has known that the terrorist attacks will happen. Maybe that is a very stupid guess! I am curious about the plot and can’t wait to see “Extremely Loud”. read more »

bjork

Bjork, the most famous Icelander in the world, is honored one of the most gifted vocalists. ‘She deserves’, you’ll think so if you listen to her music.

“This is somehow a voice that comes in from the north, that crosses vast spaces, that does have something ancient — something very old in the grain of it,” Ross says. “I cannot think of another voice like it in classical music, in pop music. It’s instantly recognizable. You hear one or two notes from it and you know it’s Bjork.”

Americans first caught wind of Bjork in 1987, when she scored a cult hit with “Birthday,” with a band called The Sugarcubes. It wasn’t until 1992 that she broke out as an international superstar with the release of her solo album, Debut. read more »
