If you find yourself with extra time this weekend and want to rent a movie to watch, 10.5 Apocalypse might be just what you need. As I started this movie on DVD, the first thing I thought was that this is going to be in all right movie that's if you like action/adventure movies. I have to admit, it was a great movie.
This movie is about a 10.5 earthquake that happened in aCalifornia, only causing more havoc throughout the world. After the 10.5 in California, a series of horrible events are still to come, as Dr. Hill (Kim Delaney) and her team have come to find out.
This movie ahd a lot of people dying and getting injured, but it was a great movie, and I would probably watch it again if the chance came.
This movie is not yet rated, and I suggest this movie to anyone who likes action/adventure movies. I would personally give this movie a seven on a scale from one to ten.
The rock group Daughtry released their first album on November 21 titled Daughtry.
It all started when the lead singer Chris Daughtry was voted off of American Idol early last May. After the Americal Idol summer tour 2006, he formed the group Daughtry. The day after the album was released, they perfomed on Regis and Kelly. A week after that, Daughtry presented an award on the Billboard awards. On New Years Eve, Daughtry was one of the ninteen performers who were on Rockin New Years Eve on NBC along with Christina Aguilera, Fergie and Rascal Flats.
Daughtry's album went platnum less then a month after being released, and it has now sold 1.3 million copies. Their song "Its Not Over" has the number one music video. Daughtry's album is number one on the billboard charts. Daughtry will be going on tour sometime between now and the end of the summer. This is the best CD that I've bought in a long time. My two favorite songs are "Its Not Over" and " Over You." I would recommend this to anyone who likes pop or rock music.
