Hyundai Reveals Facelifted 2010 Grandeur

Hyundai has released the first official image and information of the refreshed 2010 Grandeur today. The automaker has also begun to take orders for the car, ahead of its official launch scheduled for the 16th of this month. The new Grandeur (Azera) receives a host of changes both inside and out including a redesigned front fascia, rear fascia, and added safety features. In the Korean market, Hyundai will market the car as "The Luxury Grandeur."

The facelifted Grandeur receives an array of styling updates including a redesigned chrome grille and sharper headlights. A sleeker front bumper, highlighted by larger air intakes and round foglights, is reminiscent of the Genesis. According to Hyundai, the rear end of the Grandeur is also revised, but no images of that have been released as of yet. Redesigned alloy wheels round up the exterior changes of the new Grandeur.

According to Hyundai, the interior of the new Grandeur will remain much the same save for a more luxurious Alcantara trimming also found in the Equus. Standard amenities include Vehicle Dynamic Control (VDC), LED side repeaters, and voice-activated Bluetooth hands-free.

Alucarda (1978)

Title: Alucarda (1978)

Director: Juan Lopez Moctezuma

Cast: Claudio Brook, David Silva, Tina Romero, Susana Kamini

Review:

The critics quote on the DVD cover for Alucarda cought my attention one day while I was shopping around for new movies. The quote said that Alucarda had "More nudity, blood and loud screaming then any movie I can think of" and I thought to myself, "Damn! Those are bold words right there!" But I’d been fooled more then once by phony critic quotes on DVD covers saying the film you are holding in your hand is the best thing you are ever going to see in your whole life. So I decided to do some research. Turns out Alucarda is actually held in high regards amongst horror fans and movie buffs. Its not a very well known movie (even amongst horror fans) but the ones who have seen it say its something of an undiscovered gem.

Justine's just lost both of her parents and has been sent to an all girls orphanage/convent. Here she lives amongst nuns and other orphans as they worship “the lord”. Pretty early on, she befriends Alucarda, the freakiest girl this side of The Exorcist! Since they are both orphans, they quickly become extremely close. Almost too close! In fact, their relationship borders on lesbianism. They run around the hills all day, frolic and jump and rung amongst the woods, you know, just having fun. Until one day, they stumble upon an old burial ground. They decide, just for the heck of it, to open up and old casket. An old entity comes out and posseses them! And just in case, they also sell their soul to the devil thanks to the help of a mysterious old gypsy dude! From there on in, the film is total mayhem.

Don’t know how many of you guys have seen nunsploitation films, but basically, what these films do is they exploit nuns. They usually do so in a very negative manner. On these kinds films nuns are evil, get possessed, raped or they are somehow involved in some kind of orgy. Basically, nuns will do everything that their god doesn’t want them to do! With Alucarda, the nunsploitation flick never looked so good! Or so sacrilegious! On this one, nuns scream, bleed, and are being constantly harassed by demon possessed girls! The director, Juan Lopez Moctezuma really wanted to shock audiences; he basically takes everything many Christians hold sacred and desecrates them! In other words, on this film, Satan appears! The girls sell their souls to him! They invoke Satan inside of a church! Nuns bleed profusely! A crucifix is burned to smithereens! A church and its parishioners gets burned down to the ground! So be ready for that kind of film where nothing is really held sacred. And if it is, its gonna get desecrated! Basically, if you hear this movie too loud, your neighbors will think you’re a Satanist!

Its nuts! At one point Alucarda and Justine start saying how they both renounce god and want to worship Satan forever! And they say it with such conviction and glee, it kind of made me chuckle a few times! I don’t believe in Satan or anything, but what their saying just sounds so wrong! Its like they give themselves entirely to Satan! 100%! The movie is filled with scenes like this one. So if you can’t take that sort of thing, don’t bother with this one!

Another thing that lets me know that Juan Lopez Moctezuma really wanted to shock audiences is the fact that there is so much nudity on this film. There is this extended scene where Alucarda and Justine run away for one night deep into the woods, and they stumble upon a full fledged Satanic orgy. Theres all sorts of freaky people dancing around naked in the fire! Even Satan shows up for this wild and crazy night. This whole sequence actually reminded me a lot of a scene just like it in Haxan: Witchcraft through the Ages, in which Satan shows up during a witch reunion. Also, saying that there are lesbian undertones in Alucarda and Justine’s relationship is actually an understatement, there aren’t any undertones. These girls are in love with each other! Needless to say the movie is sexually charged. This aspect of the film also reminded me of a Hammer film, particularly films like The Vampire Lovers from the whole Karnstein series of films that Hammer produced during the 70’s. Actually, many people thought that this movie was based on Carmilla, the same book on which The Vampire Lovers was based on, but those rumors were always denied by the filmmakers.

The art direction was superb in this movie! I love how they made that spooky church. It seemed to be an underground cave of sorts. With statues of human bodies coming out of the walls, hundreds of lit candles. And right smack in the middle of the church, amongst all the hanging bodies, there’s this spooky looking crucifix!

The film is well acted. Everyone involved does a fine job. Tina Romero of course stands out as Alucarda, the devil obsessed girl. She really goes crazy in some scenes, her sacriligeious dialogue is told with such conviction, that she really does come off as someone who doesn’t give a flying flip about anything, and has simply donated her soul to the services of Beelzebub. With absolutely no remorse in sight! Susana Kamini as Justine plays the opposite of Justine. The good girl, who eventually ends up getting completely corrupted by evil. And finally, Claudio Brook. The actor who plays Dr. Ozek in the film. He deserves a special mention here because he actually plays two roles. On the one hand he plays Dr. Osek, the man who directs his life by logic, science and reason, and on the other hand, he plays the weird gypsy dude who helps Justine and Alucarda sell their souls. Juan Lopez Moctezuma actually wanted Peter Cushing to play this role, but we ended up getting Claudio Brook who did an excellent job anyway.

Is there anything bad to say about this film? Well, I don’t know, I really cant say I remember anything being particularly negative. For the most part, this is an excellent horror film! Maybe there’s a bit too much screaming? Too much nudity? Maybe Alucarda overacts a bit in her madness? Oh what the hell, this is a freaking horror movie, and all these elements fit perfectly well inside a horror film. The only bad thing I can honestly say about it is that it lacked some special effects. Maybe some decent make up effects for that devil guy that shows up? The ending goes a bit into Carrie/Firestarter territory. I think the film could have used some visual effects work towards the fiery end. But I enjoyed the way it was filmed. They achieved everything without the need to rely on visual effects which is something I often times applaud on films, when its well achieved. On Alucarda, visual effects are replaced by spooky sound effects and inventive camera work.

This was a decent film that was shocking, bloody, erotic and satanic at the same time. It was also intelligent and well written. Kind of like a Hammer flick on acid. Only more Satanic. Good stuff!

Senate report: Bin Laden was 'within our grasp'
Osama bin Laden was unquestionably within reach of U.S. troops in the mountains of Tora Bora when American military leaders made the crucial and costly decision not to pursue the terrorist leader with massive force, a Senate report says. The report asserts that the failure to kill or capture bin Laden at his most vulnerable in December 2001 has had lasting consequences beyond the fate of one man. Bin Laden's escape laid the foundation for today's reinvigorated Afghan insurgency and inflamed the internal strife now endangering Pakistan, it says. Staff members for the Senate Foreign Relations Committee's Democratic majority prepared the report at the request of the chairman, Sen. John Kerry, as President Barack Obama prepares to boost U.S. troops in Afghanistan. READ MORE

Hotels in London

London, the capital city of the United Kingdom and England is one of the premier cities of the world- in the class of Paris, New York and Tokyo. London is a powerhouse economically and on average brings in about 17% of the UK’s entire gross national product. London is also noted as the top financial market in Europe and one of the premier financial centers in the world.
Besides flexing its economic muscles, London is also a cultural city, which is extremely cosmopolitan. It rates at the top of the world in the arts, communications, politics, architecture, education, etc. London has for the last several hundred years been an attractive place to visit and properly visiting London usually requires a car hire and a well appointed London Hotel.
History of London Hotels
The advent of London hotels mainly took place after the 19 th century. Before this period, large London hotels were unheard of. For the most part, England at that time was mostly an agricultural region, as was most of the world and many of the wealthy English landowners usually lived in the countryside part of the year and in London for the other part. Because travel was much more difficult than it is now, most people once in London stayed for a considerable length of time and if they did stay for short periods of time, let’s say less than a week, they usually lodged with a friend or family. Business visitors and travelers for that matter were on a much smaller scale.
While there were lodging options available, they were mostly either lodging houses or coaching inns. These inns usually were not in the center city, but along the roads and travel networks. Once railroads were developed starting in the 1830’s, lodging inns were also found along side locomotive stations. Unfortunately, all except one coaching inn still stands today. This distinction of being the last coaching inn in London goes to the George Inn which is now cared for by the National Trust.
Besides the coaching inns, there were some smaller hotels that were the precursor to modern types of lodging. These include the Mivart’s which is the precursor of the Claridge. For instance, the Mivart’s was established in 1812 about 30 to 40 years before many larger London lodging establishments started to be built.
By the 1860’s the railroads have developed into a popular way to travel to London and many business and leisure travelers came to London for shorter periods of time. Hotels that catered to railroad passengers were called Railway Hotels and were usually built quite close to the London railroad terminals. These Railway Hotels attracted clientele by being seen as status symbols and most Railway Hotels were large and luxurious.
Many of these large and luxurious London hotels were built during the Victorian era. For instance, the Langham Hotel was the largest hotel in the city of London and the first to be fitted with hydraulic lifts in 1865. The Savoy was another London first; it was the first hotel to have bathrooms in each room called an ensuite.
Some of the larger, luxurious London hotels still in business include:

• The Midland Grand Hotel located at St. Pancras
• The Hilton London Paddington (originally called the Great Western Hotel at Paddington)
• The Great Northern Hotel located at King’s Cross
• The Great Eastern Hotel located at Liverpool Street
• The Landmark Hotel (originally named The Great Central Hotel at Marylebone)
• The Thistle Victoria (originally called The Grosvenor)

The Hotels of Modern London
London is a city of hotel rooms. In 2000, it was estimated that there was at least 100,000 hotel rooms with more than 2/3 being located within 10 km of central London. It should also be noted that over 70,000 rooms are categorized as having 3 to 5 stars.
Five Star London Hotels
For those seeking luxury, the largest concentration of luxury hotels is located in the West Ends- specifically Mayfair. The largest five star hotel is quite small compared to world averages- only having 459 rooms and nine five stars have less than fifty rooms. Some of the grandestLondon hotels include;

• The Ritz (a traditional grand hotel)
• The Savoy (a traditional grand hotel)
• The Dorchester (a traditional grand hotel)
• The Renaissance Chancery (this hotel was converted from an older grand hotel)
• The Four Seasons (considered to be a modern luxury London hotel)
• The London Hilton (considered to be a modern luxury London hotel)

3 & 4 Star London Hotels
While five star London hotels are usually landmark buildings located in prime real estate locations, other less luxurious hotels can be found throughout the city of London. While many are near the center, some are found quite a distance from the center. Bloomsbury on the northern side of the city perhaps has the largest concentration of mid level hotels in London. Obviously, most of these hotels are located near large airports such as Heathrow.
London Hotels in the Near Future
London is a vibrant city and many real estate developers have big plans for its future. Two developers are currently working on large tower hotels they are Columbus towers and the London Bridge Tower. Both towers will currently rival the tallest building in London. Currently the London Bridge Tower is on schedule to be the tallest building and hotel in London.
