After three decades and 24 distinctive films, Ron Howard's approach to making films is truly genius. Howard creates movies inspired by real characters and events and turns their stories into intense cinematic experiences for audiences worldwide. In 2013, "Rush", starring Hemsworth, finds new visual ways to illustrate the connection between driver and racecar. In "A Beautiful Mind", which earned Howard an Academy Award for directing, he puts viewers through the head-spinning exhilaration of John Nash as he solves math problems. Following the success of "A Beautiful Mind", Howard delivered "The Missing", a brutally powerful Western, followed a few years later by the controversial blockbuster conspiracy thriller, "The Da Vinci Code", then the captivating historical piece, "Frost/Nixon".

Howard's directing career demonstrates the sheer variety of genres he explores. His films feel uniquely American as they focus on tough, heroic figures that refuse to accept defeat, as seen in "Apollo 13" and "Cinderella Man". Howard surprises the audience with each picture and with his new project, "In the Heart of the Sea", he embraces these familiar attributes. As his sixth film based on a real story, it's inspired by the events that caused Herman Melville to write Moby Dick, and stars Chris Hemsworth as the ship's dauntless first mate. Later this year, Howard will transport audiences to the sixties for an upcoming documentary about the Beatles.

"Ron Howard is a cinematic genius and someone who has paved the way for many filmmakers today," said Joey Berlin, president of the Broadcast Film Critics Association, which presents the Critics' Choice Awards. "Ron's films truly speak to his work ethic and attention to detail. We expect his upcoming project about the inspiring real life story behind Moby Dick to be a notable continuation of his legacy."

"We are very pleased to recognize Ron Howard with the Critics' Choice LOUIS XIII Genius Award," said Ludovic du Plessis, Global Executive Director, LOUIS XIII. "Mr. Howard's craftsmanship, dedication to quality and ability to continually inspire with timeless storytelling resonate with generations of audiences around the world."

Terrorist Attacks on America Before Osama Bin Laden Was Born : 1920 -2005.

Image
This is a record of all terrorist attacks in America and in countries with American interests and on American Embassies and citizens abroad. Osama bin Laden did not create the demons of terrorism. He is only one of the most diabolical and destructive of them all. The devil is the author of Terrorism in his capacity as the Son of Perdition and the father of chaos. It is very important to clarify these issues for the benefit of those who are ignorant and naive and have been jumping to erroneous conclusions. Terrorist Attacks (within the United States or against Americans abroad) 1920: septa. 16, New York City: TNT bomb planted in unattended horse-drawn wagon exploded on Wall Street opposite House of Morgan , killing 35 people and injuring hundreds more. Bolshevist or anarchist terrorists believed responsible, but crime never solved. 1975 Jan. 24, New York City: bomb set off in historic Fraunces Tavern killed 4 and injured more than 50 people.

Let Us Talk To Boko Haram - Nigerian Professor

Image
A Commentary Direct Talk and Psychological Accessibility to the Boko Haram Group Is worth the Trial in Nigeria It is now obvious that the nation is now fully plagued by terrorism which is so widespread and monumental that it is hard to unravel. At a time when the Nigerian air is filled with the festivities of Eid al-Adha, the feast of sacrifice, which in a supposed way should involve the slaughter sheep and cattle, and not the near-sacrifice of a son, as in Abraham’s case, but the reverse is the case.Human slaughter is in our face on a daily basis in Nigeria due to the Boko Haram wrath. Violence in Nigeria, a country of more than 150 million with an almost equal split between the Christian south and the Muslim north is affecting public safety and national security. Nothing appears to be stopping the inflammable and untamed-able torment, fear and worry across the country. There appears to be a legitimate state of distress nationally, and the cause of the state of distress is growing d...
