Healthy Hollywood: Get Movin Monday - Live To Be 100!

By Terri MacLeodNEW YORK., N.Y. -- We all know (or at least I hope) a nutritious diet and plenty of exercise adds years to your life. How would you like to live to be 100? I certainly wouldnt mind as long as I was healthy in body and mind. Dr. Oz shares his prescription to becoming a centenarian in Septembers Mens Fitness Magazine. The trick is performing at your optimal level at every stage in life. The number 1 driver in longevity isnt how heavy you are. Its how fit you are. Youre better off being fat and a little fit than being skinny and out of shape, reveals Dr. Oz to Mens Fitness. So, how do you start living forever young? Researchers discovered people who live to be 100 have three things in common. First, they were in good shape. Second, they ate whole foods. And third, they had supportive relationships. In the September issue, Dr. Oz maps out his stay fit longevity tips for men through the different decades. Guys in your 20s:Place more emphasis on muscle-building activities. You should be working out every other day, building up your core, your arms, and your legs. The one activity you should definitely be doing is pull-ups. You know why I love pull-ups? Because they force you to lift your own body weight, advises Dr. Oz. Guys in your 30s:Once you hit your 30s, you can start to move away from muscle-building activities a little bit and focus more on fitness. Young guys are more able to move around, but thirtysomethings are little stiffer and start putting on more weight, reveals Dr. Oz. Try a little more flexibility training and fewer muscle-building sessions. Guys in your 40s:By the time youre in your 40s, it all becomes about your bodys pliancy. I would spend more time doing yoga or balance activities, like doing exercises with your eyes closed. To improve your balance, do this simple test. Stand up straight with your arms folded across your chest, close your eyes, and raise one foot, bending at a 45-degree angle. Set a goal of balancing for 15 seconds, suggests Dr. Oz.

San shao ye de jian

This martial arts spectacular showcases 20-year-old Erh Tung-sheng (a.k.a. Derek Yee). Even Variety noted: "Erh's charismatic screen presence should take him to superstardom like his older brother, David Chiang." The prediction proved correct, and his performance as ace swordsman Third Master is just what any producer would want. He fights evil, saves damsels in distress (including a kindhearted prostitute played by Chow Yun-fat's first wife, Yu An-an), and duels rival swordsmen to the, well, death.

This past year a team of French Free Runners fascinated Londoners once they scaly a few of the city's most well-known landmarks in the Albert Hall to HMS Belfast for Funnel 4's Jump London .

It's a discipline mixing an remarkable athleticism and insufficient fear - produced by Sebastien Foucan and the buddies - which has spread around the globe. Foucan sees Free Running as greater than a spectacle, it's a life-style, having a spiritual dimension plucked from popular culture and permitting a getaway from everyday reality. For Jump Britain , Foucan and the team are became a member of by people from the burgeoning United kingdom Parkour scene because they tackle a few of the United kingdom's most legendary sites including Edinburgh Castle and also the Forth Rail Bridge in Scotland, the Giant's Causeway and Derry's Walls in Northern Ireland, the Millennium Stadium in Cardiff, the Tyne Bridge in Newcastle and also the ICC in Birmingham.

The Modification-Up: Film Review

Apart from Large in 1988 and also the two Freaky Friday films, body-switching comedies rarely pan out. All individuals plot mechanics and-out miracle simply to deliver a formality the grass is not always eco-friendly yada, yada, yada. The Modification-Up fearlessly tries to revive the dormant subgenre but it is a lame effort that develops progressively frantic and foul-mouthed because the realization takes hold the gimmick is not working. With Ryan Reynolds, Jason Bateman, the lovely Leslie Mann and current "It girl" Olivia Wilde co-starring, the R-ranked comedy from Universal should have a solid opening weekend and could find yourself using the positive box-office amounts of Bateman's other R-ranked comedy this summer time, Horrible Bosses. What entertainment the film offers is the familiar and inevitable. Audiences can anticipate every plot turn well ahead of time and also the result's never uncertain. The enjoyment, for a moment, is based on seeing Reynolds and Bateman playing each other peoples figures within the wrong body and therefore fouling up their particular lives. When they met today, Mitch (Reynolds) and Dork (Bateman) would not start a friendship. However they was raised together and whilst they also increased apart - greatly apart - the text stays. Mitch is really a guy-child frat boy, who will not mature. He is doing tell you they are an actress but this clearly is not a lucrative pursuit. Dork is definitely an rectal-retentive overachiever, a tough-working attorney closing in on the partnership having a grand home in Atlanta, an adoring wife Jamie (Mann) and a trio of kids - even though infant twins assure him of steady insomnia. Throughout a evening of inebriated revelry, the boys do what must get completed in an appearance-switching comedy: Each develops envious from the other peoples existence. Mitch longs for any loving family and stable career while Dork realizes he's labored so difficult he skipped on all of the "drugs, sex and bad options." While peeing right into a public fountain late that evening - there's more pissing and defecating within this movie compared to a teenager comedy - they wish they might switch lives along with a somewhat malevolent searching fountain grants or loans the wish. The very next day Mitch (as Dork) awakens laying alongside Jamie while Dork (as Mitch) energizes among the boulders and half-eaten takeout food thrown about Mitch's bachelor digs. Stress develops because the two frantically attempt to squeeze into a bewildering new existence style. Mitch gets control high-stakes merger talks having a Japanese firm that blow high when he clearly knows nothing concerning the deal and insults sleep issues. Dork finds themself acting okay - inside a porn film. Each does uncover some compensation in the new existence: Mitch is turned on by Dave's incredibly sexy friend, Sabrina (Wilde). Dork, once he extricates themself from that porno, finds he really has time for you to read a magazine and go to the aquarium. The film engineers moments where the males learn what individuals really consider them also as situations that prompt re-study of values. But authors Jon Lucas and Scott Moore never discover a way of creating these foreseeable developments funny. Their overused escape route is extremely inappropriate behavior and potty-mouths. That the irresponsible Mitch would demean ladies and jeopardize children's lives is possibly understandable. But that Ivy League grad and top lawyer Dork would emulate his immature friend defies credibility. Yet because the authors grow progressively insecure regarding their dialogue, situations and figures, the f-tanks multiply and also the juvenilia gets worse. Director David Dobkin, who warrants credit for instigating the current R-ranked comedy with Wedding Crashers in 2005, aims for the same vibe here by pointing moments as broadly as you possibly can while enrolling his male stars within the Jerry Lewis School of Overacting. But Wedding Crashers were built with a unique premise and somewhat original figures. The Modification-Up is affected with a trite story and rote personas. It even handles to absolutely waste among the best comic stars alive, Alan Arkin, inside a throwaway role as Mitch's perturbed father. Using the urban playground of current day Atlanta is banal: It's such as the location scout acquired a tourist map in the airport terminal. There is no sense this story is happening within the new South. All sites are nondescript, the particular setting depending positioned on what city offered the very best incentives. Productions values therefore are professional but unremarkable.

Cable Industry Lobby Criticizes FCC Network Carriage Order

NEW YORK - Smaller and independent cable networks may rejoice, but the cable industry isn't happy with an FCC order ensuring that channels don't get dropped by TV distributors during carriage disputes. Under the order, if a network owner gets into a carriage dispute and files an FCC complaint, the network must continue to be carried under a "temporary standstill of the price, terms and other conditions of an existing programming contract" while the regulator makes a decision. The government agency can also decide that a network must be distributed by cable and satellite companies if its owner convinces the FCC that it is being discriminated against, according to the regulatory order. "We are profoundly disappointed not only in what the FCC did but how they did it," said Michael Powell, president and CEO of cable industry group NCTA. "The FCC's program carriage decision represents an unfortunate trifecta: a flawed process that the FCC stubbornly refused to correct, substantive policy discussions that show little regard for the limits of agency authority or constitutional rights, and a disturbing lack of appreciation of the potential impact of government intervention on consumers or the marketplace." He added: "Regrettably, we must now explore other avenues for redress." Related Topics FCC
