Sentinel Management Group have contacted the Commodity Futures Trading Commission and called for withdrawals to be frozen until Sentinel Management Group “can honor them in an orderly fashion”. “Investor fear has overtaken reason and has induced a period in which most securities have simply ceased to trade,” according to the client letter, which does not specify which funds are affected.” “We are concerned that we cannot meet any significant redemption requests without selling securities at deep discounts to their fair value and therefore causing unnecessary losses to our clients.” Market analyst Sam Kirtley of The Gold Prices Newsletter said: “This shows how much fear is in the market at present. When investors get scared, they seek a safe haven and the best safe ...

Live-Action Jungle Book Movie Planned 2007-08-14 11:20:00 In my eyes, there has only every been one version of Rudyard Kipling’s The Jungle Book that really mattered and that was the Disney version. It featured bear that wanted to be like you (oo-hoo) and some seriously cool apes dancing. There was a live-action version made in 1942 by Zoltan Korda and another in 1994 starring John Cleese, Jason Flemyng and Sam Neill but nothing can compare, not even Sam Neill’s moustache in the 94 version. Now, there is a new version of The Jungle Book being made, which will feature animals that are both live-action and gobby - we love it! The $50 million film co-production between pathe and the BBC will be directed by John Downer, from a script by Richard Kurti and Bev Doyle. As usual, more to come when we get it!

Ice Cube to star in Comic Book Adaptation of 10 2007-08-14 10:51:25 Ice Cube, star of Are We There Yet? And Are We Done Yet? is on the verge of signing on for a comic book adaptation. Now, unless you’re a fan of Ice Cube, you won’t be jumping for joy. Credit where credit’s due, he was the best thing in both films and he was good in xXx2: State of the Union, so he is worth the gamble. He is set to star in 10, based on the graphic novel by Shannon Eric Denton and Keith Giffen. In the film, Ice Cube’s hero gets a piece of junk mail one day informing him that he is in a competition with nine other people. Whoever comes out alive, wins. Nice! Naturally, he files the mail under “Unlikely/Nigerian spam” in the big round riling cabinet and goes about his daily business - until one day an axe-wielding stranger turns up at his door in an attempt to kill him. Ice Cube’s company is negotiating to produce with an eye to him taking a starring role. Charlie Bartlett’s screenwriter Gustin Nash (I kid you not!) is adapting the script with Jesse Cale. ...

Higher Energy Costs Increased Producer Prices By 6pct in July 2007-08-14 10:37:37 A leap in energy prices have caused producer prices to increase more than many had expected. Producer prices continued to rise even though food prices fell and the producer price index fell 0.2 percent in May. Gasoline costs increased 3.2% last month having fallen 3.9% last months. Energy analyst Sam Kirtley of The Uranium Stocks Newsletter thinks this is another reason why the world needs to go nuclear; “Small as this example may seem, energy prices affect every area of the economy. Fossil fuels are unstable and energy price swings can be avoiding by going nuclear as nuclear power has stable costs.” Nigel Gault, an economist with Global Insight said: “Over all, today’s P.P.I. report was benign,” “That means that the Fed will have room to cut interest rates should the economy stumble due to the fall-out from the financial market turmoil.” Do you think that energy prices will continue to increase?

The film has been released on HD DVD which is brilliant news to everyone who was a fan of the movie. It’s is one of the must have’s for your HD DVD collection.
