Misc Movie Stuff

March Of The Penguins - I have had a March of the Penguins poster on my wall ever since the movie came out. It isn't just that I am a big Morgan Freeman fan, although I am. I've always loved his mellow, warm voice and enjoyed most of the movies he has made. Nevertheless, I liked the rest of the March of the Penguins so much that Morgan Freeman almost took a backseat. It was

Want To Try Short Film Production - There are great places online where you can watch all types of short films. Places like YouTube have boomed in recent years, as people want a place where they can upload their own videos and watch those that others have added. While some of these are home videos of all types, there are many that are making their own movies. If you want

One Tree Hill - Each generation of teenagers grows up with its own TV show, full of angst, turbulent romances and family conflicts. One Tree Hill has a dedicated fan base that has followed the plot twist and turns through five seasons with a sixth season on the way. The story, set in the fictional North Carolina town of Tree Hill, began in 2003. It's a small town but the local High

Watch Movies - Many people who watch movies on the Internet do not pay anything. Although there are legal ways to watch free movies, when you watch copyrighted movies for free it is generally illegal. I have always been a big fan of watching movies online, but I used to not pay for it. After all, it seemed like so little work to watch movies for free. All you would have to do was to

Movie Extra - We all dream at some time about becoming a movie star, walking down the red carpet at premieres and being adored by millions of fans. Sadly, it's a daydream for most of us. There is a way however of getting in front of the camera, even if it's as part of a crowd. To become a movie extra is not an unrealistic ambition and many people manage to achieve it. It may only

Friends Season 10 - It's not often that a comedy program becomes a cultural icon but Friends ruled the roost from 1994-2004, making its six stars household names. It wasn't just a show of snappy one-liners because the audience cared for the characters as if they were members of their own family. We had followed the New York friends through the ups and downs of their personal

Classic Movies Are Timeless - Movies are a great way to snuggle up on the couch and to let the time pass. On a night where there is a blizzard and it’s too scary to go outside, a movie is the best way to entertain yourself while you stay all cozy and warm. Although we have access to satellite, sometimes we can’t find an enjoyable show to watch. Therefore, we need to have a lot of

Little House On The Praire - The stories of a pioneering farming family in Minnesota caught the imagination of readers when Laura Ingalls Wilder wrote her real life accounts in the series of books, Little House on the Prairie. The popular books were adapted into the hit TV series that ran from 1974-1983. Changes were made for the television show but the spirit of the books came

Complete Series - Many people fall in love with a television show for a variety of reasons. Some find that they fall in love with the characters, and they feel like they are with friends while they are watching that show. That is probably why some shows do well and others don’t make it very far. If the viewer does not identify and become interested in the people on the show, they will most

Game Shows - The world of television is a fiercely competitive one and networks are always looking for shows to engage the audience. Game shows have been popular since the 1950s. They are inexpensive to produce and offer entertainment to a mass audience. Many shows operate a franchise and are exported all over the world in different versions. Many American shows have

Amahl And The Night Visitors - So many families enjoy the tradition of watching the famous Christmas special Amahl and the Night Visitors. This feature for the holiday season first aired on NBC way back in 1951. This beautiful tale was commonly included in a series of other specials on programs featured on the station until about 1966.

Lost In Space - Science fiction shows were all the rage, growing up in the 1960s. One of the most popular ones was Lost in Space. It ran from 1965 to 1968 for the CBS network and 83 episodes were aired. The setting was in the future, in 1997 and Earth was suffering from overpopulation and a lack of essential resources. Another planet, suitable for humans, must be

Movie Website - There are many times when I have seen a preview for a movie on the television, and then went to see that movie based on what I saw. Though these trailers are often very accurate as to what the movie is about, some of them are misleading. I have been disappointed a few times because what I saw in the movie was nothing like what the movie trailer portrayed to

Movie Theater - There's nothing quite like a fun trip to the movie theatre. You've got the big screen, dark atmosphere, cushy, relining seats, and a vast array of tasty concessions to enjoy while you ogle the feature film. This is modern-day entertainment at its best folks. Regardless of where you're from, we all love to escape with an exciting, big-budget movie. This practice has

Movie Scripts - There's something magic about movies. Maybe it's the dashing celebrities, the gorgeous locations, or possibly even the exciting plot points. Then again, it very well could be a combination of all these factors. Either way, one thing is for certain; and that's the fact that none of the movie magic we enjoy trip after trip to the cinema would be possible without a great movie

Movie Soundtracks - I only really became aware of movie soundtracks in the last few years. I, like most people, used to just see them as part of the movie. Oh sure, every once in a while there would be a catchy song in the movie soundtrack that would really catch my ear. Most of the time, however, the movie soundtrack was just background for whatever else was going on. It set the

Movie Poster Frames - I'm an entertainment addict, and love nothing more than to watch DVDs, sports, and primetime TV series on my 50-inch plasma television. It's a terrific way to unwind after a long day at work, especially if there's popcorn and beer involved as well! I'm currently working on setting up a state-of-the-art media room in my basement so that I can enjoy my movies, music,

Movie Reviews - Movies are wonderful things, but they are also expensive things. I don’t go to see as many as I used to see, and that is because the price tag can be what I would consider staggering. However, they are a popular part of life, and a favored pastime of many on the weekends. If you are like me, and you don’t want to spend your hard earned money on something

Local Movie Times Are Online - Everyone loves a good movie! Why is this you may wonder? It's simple really. People watch movies to escape from reality. That wonderful 90 minutes of escapism can really help you relax and take a break from all the work and stress of reality. This is why so many people are always interested in finding out local movie times that apply to the

Movie Director - What would you consider to be your dream job? I'm sure many people would say to not have a job at all, but rather a loaded bank account allowing them to do as they please. Fair enough! I can definitely see the appeal of that lifestyle. Unfortunately for most of us that's not reality. As for me, my ideal position would be a successful career in film. Just to be clear, I'm not

Becoming A Movie Extra - Until a couple of weeks ago, I had never really thought about movie extras. I had seen hundreds of movies, but had never bothered to wonder about the crowds in the background and where they came from. I talked to some of my friends, and none of them knew either. We are not a very artistic group of people, you see, and no one had very much knowledge

Celebrity Gossip - Let’s face it – people are fascinated with what celebrities are saying and doing. They want to know about their love lives, their break-ups, their mistakes, their good deeds – almost anything you can imagine. The media hounds celebrities and tries to get the best pictures in their magazines or websites before anyone else does. Tabloids will invent stories

Movie Posters - It might seem like an odd thing to collect, and then again, maybe not. Everyone has something that they collect in one way or another, but some are more unusual than others. You may know someone with an interest in collecting old coins, or perhaps they have a shrine to Elvis stashed away somewhere in their house. For a long time, my brother would get every single

Young Actors - I think that our culture has a special relationship with young actors. I know that when I was a kid, I dreamed of being a young actor. I never really thought about acting classes or going to an audition – such thoughts didn't occur to me – but I dreamed that somehow I would get picked up by a TV show or end up in a feature movie.
