One miserable couple collides with another comedy in “Happy, Happy”

Family is the most important thing in the world to Kaia (Agnes Kittelsen). She is an eternal optimist in spite of living with a man who would rather go hunting with the boys and isn’t interested in having sex with her anymore because she “is not particularly attractive.” Whatever. That’s life.
But when “the perfect couple” moves in next door, Kaia struggles to keep her emotions in check. Not only do these successful, beautiful, exciting people sing in a choir, they have also adopted a child from Ethiopia! These new neighbors open a whole new world to Kaia, with consequences for everyone involved. And when Christmas comes around, it becomes evident that nothing will ever be like before even if Kaia tries her very best.
All the actors play well, but everyone is down-toned like they are affected by the weather, and the only two times they show emotion is after a sex scene (running outside while snowing almost naked) and while a fight between the two men (awkard and disorienting fight scene by the way). Other than that, it is a bland drama mixed with drops of comedy (black) a spit of racism, an understatement of men trying to hide their homosexuality by making a family, some affairs made for revenge or from lack of affection that came from the fact a couple cannot have their own kid. Therefore, It is the typical Norwegian “comedy” more awkward than funny, with a persistent serious vibe that runs through the movie but never takes over and make us smile (not laugh) as well.

Miss Universe 2011
The beautiful Leila Lopes says she plans to focus on combating HIV around the globe. The 25-year-old from Angola was crowned Miss Universe 2011 Monday night during a pageant held in Sao Paulo, Brazil. “I’ve worked with various social causes. I work with poor kids, I work in the fight against HIV. I work to protect the elderly and I have to do everything that my country needs,” she said. “I think now as Miss Universe I will be able to do much more.”
Leila won against 88 other competitors and she is one of the few blacks ever crowned Miss Universe. “Thank God I’m very satisfied with the way God created me and I wouldn’t change a thing,” Lopes said when she was asked about whether she would change anything about her physical self. “I consider myself a woman endowed with inner beauty. I have acquired many wonderful principles from my family and I intend to follow these for the rest of my life.”
Lopes won over the audience, speaking in the shared language of Portuguese. Angola, like Brazil, is a former Portuguese colony. “She captivated the crowd and we were all behind her,” said Brazilian Natalie Bursztyn, 20, who was in the crowd inside Credicard Hall where the event took place. “It was great that the judges also saw what the fans saw and gave her the crown. Her dress was beautiful and she knew exactly what to say”. Leila proved that her outer beauty was not all she had to offer, but also her principles to fight against poverty and HIV.

A changed America: Marking 10 years since 9/11

Ten years later, Americans come together today where the World Trade Center soared, where the Pentagon stands as a fortress once breached, where United Airlines Flight 93 knifed into the earth.
They will gather to pray in cathedrals in our greatest cities and to lay roses before fire stations in our smallest towns, to remember in countless ways the anniversary of the most devastating terrorist attacks since the nation’s founding, and in the process mark the milestone as history itself.
As in earlier observances, bells will toll again to mourn the loss of those killed in the attacks. Americans will lay eyes on new memorials in lower Manhattan, rural Pennsylvania and elsewhere, concrete symbols of the resolve to remember and rebuild.
But much of the weight of this year’s ceremonies lies in what will largely go unspoken — the anniversary’s role in prompting Americans to consider how the attacks changed them and the larger world and the continuing struggle to understand 9/11’s place in the lore of the nation.
