rob knox

The family of the Harry Potter actor who was knifed to death in south London have broken down in tears as they paid an emotional tribute to the teenager.

Rob Knox's mother and father coud barely contain their grief as they visited the scene of the killing and examined the flowers and messages of sympathy which have been left there.
They later spoke of their devastation at his loss, adding it was "impossible to convey the sadness" they all felt.

His father Colin said: "Rob touched many people's lives. He was a happy, outgoing and fun person to be with.
"Rob always put everyone before himself and was always the first to stand up against wrong."
The 18-year-old died when he and four friends became involved in a scuffle with a man armed with two knives outside the Metro Bar in Sidcup.
Describing his son as "an angel on earth without wings", Mr Knox revealed that the last conversation he had with his son was about knives.
His voice cracking with emotion, he said: "Slightly ironic, but it's true. Whether he listened or not I don't know."
He added: "I did have his ear, he did always listen but unfortunately when someone is threatening his younger brother - he would defend him."
Messages have also been posted on networking website Facebook paying tribute to the "smashing lad" who "knew how to make everyone laugh".
Others express concerns about another young death in the capital - the 14th so far this year.
One wrote: "It's not right. This is getting way too close to home. RIP Rob."
Rob was stabbed just a few miles from where 16-year-old Jimmy Mizen was killed in Lee two weeks ago.
Jimmy and Rob, who plays Ravenclaw student Marcus Belby in the forthcoming Harry Potter And The Half-Blood Prince, both played for Sidcup Rugby Club.
Club president Phil West said: "We're still mourning for Jimmy and now we've got a second victim. It's absolutely devastating."
Sky reporter Kitty Logan said the murder has shocked the local community. "It's difficult for people to comprehend," she said.
"Rob and his friends were not involved in drugs or guns or crime, they were just enjoying a night out."
Lyn Costello, of Mothers Against Murder and Aggression, told Sky News it would not be fair to blame Government policies for the youngster's death.
"We must all take responsibility for what is happening to young people," she said.
A post-mortem is being carried out to determine the exact cause of Rob's death.
The four friends who were wounded in the incident are said to be recovering from their injuries.
Police have arrested a 21-year-old man on suspicion of murder.

watchmen review

From the start of the Watchmen cult, film people knew two things about the comic book: (1) that it simply had to be made into a movie and (2) that it couldn't.

An epic superhero saga, spanning 45 years, with six major characters who all sport double identities and crucial, intertwined back-stories, does not lend itself to the narrative turbo-thrust of a standard action film. Indeed, the superest hero of the bunch — Dr. Manhattan, once known as Jon Osterman — is not an action hero; he's a passive one, a contemplative godhead, a sinewy blue nude Buddha, emotionally removed from the comic's central whodunit quest: Who killed Eddie Blake? A.k.a. the Comedian.

Complicating this is the possessiveness felt by hardcore Watchmaniacs, who believe that any change is an act of treason. When director Zack Snyder showed clips of the movie last fall to an audience of rapt but wary votaries, one portly fellow told him, "On behalf of the obese-obsessive demographic, I want your assurance that the ending does not puss out." Such is the snakebite of hype, especially for a project with such outsize expectations. The film, budgeted at $100 million and the object of a rights wrangle between Warner Bros. and 20th Century Fox, has received less than rapturous early reviews. In his Hollywood Reporter critique, Kirk Honeycutt predicted that the film would be "the first real flop of 2009."

That's the dilemma the director faced: to risk disappointing both the fan base (for diverting from the sacred text) and the agnostic mass audience (for being a confusing, unsatisfying movie experience). Snyder — who had a big hit two years ago with 300, and who took Watchmen on after interesting auteurs from Terry Gilliam in the '80s to Paul Greengrass a few years ago fell out — went with the fan base. He worked from a script written in 2001 by David Hayter, and filigreed by Alex Tse, that was as close to the original as a movie could be. The best and worst thing to say about the Watchmen film is that, if you read the book, the movie you made in your head probably looked a lot like this.

american idol wild card surprise

Thirteen turned out to be the lucky number for Anoop Desai on "American Idol."

After announcing the three remaining finalists at the end of Thursday's wild card round, Simon Cowell announced that the much-loved 22-year-old college student from Chapel Hill, N.C., won a previously unannounced 13th spot in the next round of the popular Fox singing contest. In past seasons, 12 finalists were picked to move on.

"We decided -- recently -- we're going to make this a top 13," Cowell revealed.

The three other wild-card finalists were Jasmine Murray, the big-voiced 16-year-old high school student from Starkville, Miss.; Megan Corkrey, the quirky 22-year-old single mother from Sandy, Utah; and Matt Giraud, the soulful 23-year-old dueling piano player from Kalamazoo, Mich.

The previously dismissed foursome were selected by the show's judges.

Desai's last-minute selection wasn't the night's only seemingly unscripted moment. After oh-so-emotional semifinalist Tatiana Del Toro performed Whitney Houston's "Saving All My Love For You," she kneeled and pleaded for a spot from the judges. Then, host Ryan Seacrest came on stage and told her she didn't have to get up off her knees.

"Family show, family show," judge Kara DioGuardi repeatedly proclaimed throughout the awkward moment.

Desai, Murray, Corkrey and Giraud join previously picked finalists Kris Allen, Danny Gokey, Alexis Grace, Allison Iraheta, Adam Lambert, Scott MacIntyre, Jorge Nunez, Lil Rounds and Michael Sarver. The 13 finalists will start competing next Tuesday.
