Mortgage calculators for Home, car, house, business, shop finance

Posted: 06 Mar 2010 04:21 PM PST


Mortgage calculators are used to help a current or potential real estate owner determine how much they can afford to borrow to purchase a piece of real estate. Mortgage calculators can also be used to compare the costs or real interest rates between several different loans, determine the impact on the length of the mortgage loan of making added principal payments or bi-weekly instead of monthly payments. A mortgage calculator is an automated tool that enables the user to quickly determine the financial implications of changes in one or more variables in a mortgage financing arrangement. The major variables include loan principal balance, periodic interest rate compound interest, number of payments per year, total number of payments and the regular payment amount.








All the things that are available on the mortgage calculator are dependent on the services that you hire. Naturally the services and the information that is being shown and told by the free mortgage calculator firms will not be like those that you pay for. But yet for the simple and basic calculations you won't need a paid package for your mortgage calculation. Even the common sites will provide you the mortgage payment calculator. And they will effectively tell you all the information that you could possibly need.



In this JavaScript example, you can find out just how much that new house or car is
going to cost you each month. Enter values in the fields below to find out how much your
payments would be with the given number of payments, interest rate, and amount of the
loan.

Alice in Wonderland 2010 Movie Online Review

Posted: 06 Mar 2010 03:21 PM PST


Alice in Wonderland is a film based on a much loved story, with a much loved director (Tim Burton) and a much loved star (Johnny Depp), and it features, post-Avatar, a much loved form of technology (3-D). But I wonder: will it be a much loved film?

It should be. Everyone says that Burton was born to make this film. But I reckon Alice in Wonderland is more suited to Terry Gilliam. The former Python has a passion for the whimsical, for doggerel, nonsense verse and the phantasmagorical. He's a sentimental surrealist, a romantic anarchist who often places a whoopee cushion beneath the Victorian belief in reason and progress. Burton is more a gothic kind of guy who sees the sunny side of the dark side.









Alice's broad appeal has inspired fans from Avril Lavigne to Stella McCartney to create signature pieces as an ode to the iconic tale. Couture styles, charm bracelets, and designer collectibles like tea sets, are just some of the items that have been designed for Disney.

"It really helps us reach a whole other consumer, someone with much more discerning or sophisticated tastes," explained Nidia Tatalovich of Disney Consumer Products.

Burton's new movie features a 19 year-old Alice who's forgotten all about the Wonderland (or Underland, as Burton rechristens it) of her childhood, preparing for her engagement to a wealthy young lord. Panicking at the moment of truth, Alice flees into the woods, falls down a rabbit hole, and finds herself in a strange world that remembers her, even if she doesn't remember it. A prophetic scroll reveals that Alice is fated to become the savior of Underland, slaying a terrible beast of legend and freeing the land of the Red Queen's tyranny.

A little Background:
Alice's Adventures in Wonderland (commonly shortened to Alice in Wonderland) is an 1865 novel written by English author Charles Lutwidge Dodgson under the pseudonym Lewis Carroll. It tells the story of a girl named Alice who falls down a rabbit hole into a fantasy world populated by peculiar and anthropomorphic creatures. The tale is filled with allusions to Dodgson's friends. The tale plays with logic in ways that have given the story lasting popularity with adults as well as children. It is considered to be one of the most characteristic examples of the "literary nonsense" genre, and its narrative course and structure have been enormously influential, especially in the fantasy genre.

The bottom line for this movie is that critics are half and half. Half liked it, half think it lacks something. In rotten tomatoes, it has received a score of 61% which is a bit low from everyone else's expectations. Good or bad reviews, people will still watch this movie. Like the famous quote in the movie "curiouser and curiouser," we all are just as curious on how the movie will go.

Looks like the current March opening weekend box-office record of $70.8 million, set by 300 back in 2007 is going to go down and go down big as Disney's Alice in Wonderland could surpass that number on Saturday night with a monster $41 million opening on Friday according to Box-Office Mojo. Just one more film taking advantage of the fact 3D ticket prices turn a film into a box-office juggernaut.

Johnny Depp casting in Alice in Wonderland

Posted: 06 Mar 2010 01:26 PM PST


When Depp appeared at the Alice in Wonderland press conference, his presence was very calming but in the back of your mind you knew there was a major star in the room. For someone who's had his kind of career, he manages to come off as humble, sweet, and oddly funny in a way that only Depp can. He discussed his interest in The Mad Hatter as a tragic character, the evolution of his career, and whether or not he'd star in a motion capture film like Avatar. The actor is truly one of a kind and after seeing and hearing to him in person, you can tell his degree of success is a natural progression because he's more than just a pretty face.

On Pirates, Johnny said "what we're trying to do is just get a script in order and make sure it's the right thing to do. If we can get a great script it'd be a ball."

Meaning…it's not close to moving into production. But when I asked him about "Dark Shadows", I could see the enthusiasm in his eyes as he said, "'Dark Shadows' is happening. Tim is working on 'Alice in Wonderland' which is obviously quite a large piece of work there. So when Tim is done with 'Alice' and we get the script, which is very, very close, in order we'll probably attack it next year. It's exciting, very exciting. It's like a lifelong dream for me. I loved the show when I was a kid. I was obsessed with Barnabas Collins. I have photographs of me holding Barnabas Collins posters when I was five or six. I'm very excited to do it."


Johnny Depp may be one of the most desirable men in Hollywood, but he looks far from handsome in his latest film role.

In place of his light golden tan and dark brown hair, Depp is unrecognisable with his curly orange hair, pasty skin and pink make-up as she plays the ghoulish-looking Mad Hatter in Tim Burton's upcoming adaptation of Alice In Wonderland.







Johnny Depp was so desperate to work with Tim Burton again he has revealed he would have happily played Alice in their new movie. The actor leads an all star cast in Tim Burton's re-telling of classic story Alice In Wonderland, thankfully in the role as the Mad Hatter

Anne Hathaway in Alice in Wonderland

Posted: 06 Mar 2010 01:15 PM PST


We've seen glimpse of Tim Burton's Alice in Wonderland previously, but USA Today now has our official first look. And it's definitely not what we were expecting to see, that's for sure! Not only do they have three new gorgeous new concept art photos, but they reveal our first looks at Johnny Depp as The Mad Hatter, Helena Bonham Carter as The Red Queen, and Anne Hathaway as The White Queen.












In a rather surprising casting announcment, Anne Hathaway has joined Tim Burton's currently in-production hybrid reboot of Disney's classic tale Alice in Wonderland. Wait, what?! Additionally, in a rather unsurprising casting announcement, Burton's wife Helena Bonham Carter will also star in the film alongside of Hathaway. We know that beautiful young actress Mia Wasikowska is playing Alice, Johnny Depp is playing the Mad Hatter, and now Hathaway will play the White Queen while Bonham Carter will play the Red Queen.


The 25-year-old actress and Helena Bonham Carter has just joined the Tim Burton-directed film Alice in Wonderland, reports THR. (Carter is Burton's longtime partner and have worked together on Sweeney Todd, Corpse Bride, Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, Big Fish and Planet of the Apes.)

Since Anne is known to flex in her diet, it was probably no issue for her to snack on nuts and salad while eating like the White Queen peacemaker.

Alice In Wonderland is scheduled for release in March.

Anne Hathaway is White Queen in Alice in Wonderland

"That was one of the most fun parts about my character was this freedom that Tim [Burton] gave me," she said. "The first conversation we had, he said, 'In Wonderland, I don't want anything to be all good or all bad, so I don't want it to be the Red Queen is the bad one and you're like the nice benevolent one who's all good.' So he said, 'Have fun exploring the relationship between the two of them. They come from the same place.'"

Anne Hathaway Pictures, gallery, photos, videos, biography and Gets Leggy On Kimmel

Posted: 06 Mar 2010 01:07 PM PST


Anne Jacqueline Hathaway (born November 12, 1982) is an American actress who made her debut in the 1999 television series Get Real. After it was cancelled, she was cast as Mia Thermopolis in the Disney family comedy The Princess Diaries (2001), from which her career gained momentum. Over the next three years, Hathaway continued to star in family films, reprising the role for its sequel, and appearing as the titular character in Ella Enchanted (both 2004).







Here's Anne Hathaway looking red hot and getting seriously leggy on last night's edition of Jimmy Kimmel Live. Now the last time we saw Hathaway I was utterly shocked that her plentiful breasts were nowhere to be found, which is the case here as well, but thankfully we get to gawk at her distractingly killer pair legs. Hell, this is so much of a shwingtastic legfest that I wouldn't even care if she were topless







Among Hollywood's ever hot-and-cold crowd of 20-something-year-old performers, Anne Hathaway is one of most well-rounded actresses in the bunch

Anne also performed with host Hugh Jackman in the opening number at the 2009 Oscars. Performers for the night also include: Beyoncé, Zac Efron & Vanessa Hudgens and Amanda Seyfried & Dominic Cooper.

Mia Wasikowska Interview and Award

Posted: 06 Mar 2010 06:55 AM PST


Mia Wasikowska born October 14, 1989 is an Australian actress. She became known for her critically acclaimed work on the HBO television series In Treatment, after which she ventured into American film. A series of smaller parts led to starring roles in Tim Burton's Alice in Wonderland (2010), Gus Van Sant's film Restless (2011), and Cary Fukunaga's adaptation of Jane Eyre (2011).

At the tender age of 20, Mia Wasikowska has already explored and discovered and grown -- in a number of mediums. The Australian native spent 10 years of her childhood immersed in intensive dance training, changing her focus to acting at age 15 -- and in the last half decade, chalking up several roles on both small and big screen. Her most recent victories are claiming the title lead in Tim Burton's Alice in Wonderland and a costarring gig in an upcoming Gus Van Sant opus.

Wells Fargo Clarifies Comments czar questions

Posted: 06 Mar 2010 06:51 AM PST



Wells Fargo & Co. is a diversified financial services company with operations around the world. Wells Fargo is the fourth largest bank in the US by assets and the third largest bank by market cap. Wells Fargo is the second largest bank in deposits, home mortgage servicing, and debit card. In 2007 it was the only bank in the United States to be rated AAA by S&P , though its rating has since been lowered to AA- in light of the 2008 Financial Crisis.








"We decline to comment on actual projections or specific timelines regarding advisor hires over time," spokeswoman Teresa Dougherty said in an email. "Over the long-term, we anticipate strong growth in advisor recruiting, which will be based on both market conditions and on how Americans plan for retirement in the coming years."

Wells Fargo Advisors, the brokerage unit of Wells Fargo & Co. (WFC), had a brokerage force of 14,961 at the end of 2009. It ranks behind the Morgan Stanley Smith Barney joint venture, which reported 18,135 advisers at the end of the year, and close to the size of Bank of America Corp.'s (BAC) Merrill Lynch, which reported 15,006 advisers.

The San Francisco-based bank, fourth-largest in the United States by assets, last year repaid the $25 billion it received from the Troubled Asset Relief Program.

Rodney Stuckey kept in hospital overnight

Posted: 06 Mar 2010 06:47 AM PST



Rodney Norvell Stuckey (born April 21, 1986 in Kent, Washington) is an American professional basketball player for the Detroit Pistons of the NBA.

CLEVELAND -- Pistons point guard Rodney Stuckey complained of dizziness and collapsed on the bench Friday night -- one year and a few months after a similar dizzy spell.

During a time-out at 2:30 of the third quarter of the Pistons' 99-92 loss to the Cavaliers, Stuckey, 23, came off the floor and was talking with Jonas Jerebko. Both players sat down and Stuckey appeared fine.









Rodney Stuckey appeared to have a seizure on the court and was carried out of the arena on a stretcher on Friday night.

This is obviously a very serious situation and we hope Stuckey is OK. Our guess is Will Bynum will take over at point guard for now.

"Whatever happens, happens," Stuckey said. "It's a business."

Stuckey learned that lesson when two games into his second season the Pistons shipped Chauncey Billups to the Denver Nuggets for Allen Iverson in what was mostly a business move to clear cap space.

NOTEBOOK: The Pistons raised more than $400,000 to feed the needy from their efforts Tuesday night during the Pistons Care telethon.
