Over the past few weeks we’ve beaten you to a pulp with lists. We laid down list after list in our 2008 Year in Review and even gave you Ten People to Watch in 2009. And while you might think that’s enough. That you never want to read another list from the staff of FSR again, we must disagree. Because if you ask anyone in the film industry, the year doesn’t begin until we’ve properly dictated to you our most anticipated movies of the next 12 months. Seriously, ask anyone. They will tell you that anticipation cannot exist without a road map. And said map must be provided by the staff here at FSR. It’s science. With that in mind, please feel free to read, enjoy and comment on our list of The 25 Most Anticipated Movies of 2009, in chronological order.

Design takes on a whole new meaning when it involves the gigantic piles of cash the rich and powerful are willing to invest in their luxuries. From the Playboy bunny pond to gigantic shark tanks, here are some of the most extraordinary architectural creations that come from well-paid imaginations – and deliver marvelous mind-blowing pools that most of us would happily belly-flop for.
a lot of money can allow you to do many things.
and amongst the many things (aside from a private jet, an RR Phantom, an island) is building a completely outrageous swimming pool. the hedonists will probably like this as what is life with a lot of money, if there is no hanging around the swimming pool all day long getting a tan, with many beautiful people?
having said that, some of the swimming pools here look pretty nice. i like the largest pool where you can even sail in it….. the bali one looks good too.

Big Buck Bunny tells the story of a giant rabbit with a heart bigger than himself. When one sunny day three rodents rudely harass him, something snaps… and the rabbit ain’t no bunny anymore! In the typical cartoon tradition he prepares the nasty rodents a comical revenge.
