Liverpool won the Carling Cup after the final beat Cardiff City through on penalties at Wembley on Sunday. After a 2-2 draw until the end of the extra round, Liverpool won on penalties with the score 3-2.
Cardiff went ahead through striker Joe Mason in the 19th minute. After reaching a breakthrough bait Kenny Miller, Mason rolling the ball into the bottom right corner of goalkeeper Pepe Reina.
Liverpool defender Martin Skrtel brought an equalizer in the 60th minute. From close range, he found the net Cardiff, take advantage of a loose ball kick which hit the post Luis Suarez left of goalkeeper Tom Heaton.
The former Cardiff captain may win his first major trophy in English football against his boyhood club but Bellamy will not celebrate if he scores. Bellamy scored 11 goals in a loan spell at Cardiff last season as he fulfilled an ambition to play for the Bluebirds.
There is many kind of music in the world, film without music will be bored to see, science and technology will support the development of music and film technology.

Declaration of War
Critics – Film
The last third of the film takes a sharp left turn into horror weirdness. The less said on what happens, the better, but it is far spookier and scarier than a hitman with a hammer. Stripped of all the bourgeois banality of the first chunk of the movie, we see a surprisingly effective depiction of evil at its most base and elemental. In the end, I'm not really sure if the twist works, but Wheatley deserves credit for going there. "Kill List" is a movie that keeps you guessing, freaks you out and then makes you want to argue over the ending. Any flick that does that is something of a success.
During a dinner party, we learn that Jay's unemployment is self-imposed after a bungled gig in Kiev, the details of which are never revealed. Since the movie is called "Kill List," it shouldn't come to a surprise that Jay and with his mate Gal (Michael Smiley) are hired guns. Gal inveigles Jay to get back into the game with promise of a job: a contract killing of three people. And so "Kill List" gracefully shifts from a family drama to a gritty crime flick. Yet even here, something feels off. Just before target number one, a priest, gets whacked by Jay, he thanks him. When Jay makes an unsettling discovery about the sort of business the people he was hired to whack were engaged in, he doesn't just kill target number two, he pulls out some household tools and gets medieval on him. The scene is exceptionally graphic, and even as Gal recoils in disgust, the victim seems oddly pleased with the situation.

Best Picture of Oscar 2011
To review about Oscar Film Competition will talk about Best Picture. Best Picture is how the film look like, how the combination of every picture flow, and the synergy between the story and the picture in relationship. We'll continue to report on the external reality of Hollywood as it honors the bests of 2011, while patting itself on the back for its exquisite taste.
Like, really, "The Artist?" It's charming as a Jack Russell puppy and Jean Dujardin's smile, but as lasting as Reddi-Wip. It's not the silence, or the black and white; it's the lack of deep imprint, of emotional charge, positive or negative, that makes us feel like this is a middle-brow artist, not a Da Vinci. That said, with "The Help" crew rolling up the acting awards, and the SAG ensemble win, and inhaling $170 Million at the box office, it could very well be the movie to beat. Pity "The Descendants," that seemed so strong out of Toronto and Telluride. Its fortunes seem to be falling, not rising.

Best Director Oscar 2011

This is the place where "The Artist" director Michel Hazanavicius has the lock. He won the Directors Guild of America prize over Martin Scorsese, David Fincher, Woody Allen, and Alexander Payne. I feel the sorriest for Payne, who has created a terrific body of original American work and shouldn't have to wait until he's Scorsese's age to be recognized. As for "The Help," Tate Taylor was never in this race. His direction is workmanlike. He actually puts the story above his own ego. And that serves the movie, underlying all the other honors.

Best Actor and Best Actress of Oscar 2011

You could have knocked me over with that perverse little SAG statuette on Sunday night when Dujardin beat out Clooney for the actors' award. Does this really mean that George is out of the race? The reality is that it's very, very tight — and that win for Dujardin tipped the balance ever so slightly away from Clooney. Does George really have to take another loss with grace? I certainly hope not. Maybe his acting, co-writing and directing "The Ides of March" will tip this one winnable race in his favor.
Like the actor race, this one is neck-and-neck: Viola Davis or Meryl Streep? Their friendship will be tested in the next four weeks as they both bend over backwards both to express how they don't mind if the other woman wins and, that, down deep, they really want to win it themselves. It's a difficult act to pull off — that's why they're at the top of their field. At this point, Viola has the multiple nominations for "The Help" working to her advantage — and her SAG award; Meryl has seventeen nominations and the fact that she hasn't won since 1983 working in her favor. Tough, but point to Davis this round!

I'm still hurting from the Academy overlooking Albert Brooks for "Drive." Not as much as he's hurting, but still….he's Nemo's dad! It's like shooting goldfish at the Petco. Brooks was the only man between Christopher Plummer and the Oscar for playing a father who has a gay spring in the winter of his life. No one else stands a chance, unless it becomes a battle of the overlooked octogenarians and Max von Sydow pulls ahead for "Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close," a movie that got more attention than Plummer's "Beginners." These actors go way back: von Sydow was playing Jesus in "The Greatest Story Ever Told" in 1965 when Plummer was Captain von Trapp in "The Sound of Music."

Octavia Spencer. "The Help." It's a lock. Spencer's co-star and fellow nominee Jessica Chastain will smile graciously from "The Help" seats knowing that Spencer has paid her dues, and her win is a triumph for the film as a whole. Berenice Bejo is riding on "The Artist" updraft, but won't win. Melissa McCarthy? Honor just to be nominated — and taken seriously for a comic role. Janet McTeer? Honor, and a series of borrowed long dresses; she's a great, generous actress who needs a better film to display her talents.
We'll shake up our Magic Oscar 8 Ball again in two weeks and see if we're still standing by these predictions, or if there's been a tilt in the odds. In the meantime, Yahoo! movies will continue to cover the landmarks, detours and tourist traps on the road to the Oscars. The 84th Academy Awards will be held at Hollywood's Kodak Theater and broadcast on Sunday, February 26th on ABC.
