Guest post by Ryan - The Oscars on Monday night was an absolute disaster for the giant blockbuster, Avatar as it was beaten to many different awards by the Hurt Locker, a reasonably low budget film that was shown in very few theatres. So how on earth did the Hurt Locker manage to effectively beat the highest grossing film of all time?

Which Is The Better Movie?

March 8, 2010 (Reuters) - Hollywood finally entrusted a female director with an Oscar on Sunday.

"There will be Stars” is the new work of Inuk singer, composer, filmmaker Elisapie Isaac. This, her first solo recording, is the much anticipated follow up to the internationally acclaimed, award winning duo Taima which she co-founded with guitarist / composer Alain Auger in 2001.

“There will be Stars” is not so much an album as a seduction from somewhere distant, somewhere other worldly. Sometimes full of joy, sometimes lined with melancholy, at times pop, at times folk, at times sung poems from the north - is it Polar pop? Arctic Electric? New cool? Elisapie Isaac was born of an Inuk mother and a Newfoundland father. She was adopted at birth by an Inuit family and was raised in the isolated community Salluit, Nunavik - the Great North.
