| Article Title :: Television Today - Why Are We Hooked On Chat? |
| |
| I awoke today with the view of attaining new employment after an uneventful couple of years working in the internationally renowned NHS. This globally recognised and revered institution is a mainstay of life in Britain. But alas, instead of plunging into the depths of the local press and seemingly endless archives of vacancies listed on the world wide web, I find myself glued, no, hang on, mentally and physically dependant on what appears on the TV screen in my very home.This of course is another of Britain’s most loved institutions, daytime television. I find myself powerless to resist the need to find out whose baby it really is and which man (and I use this term loosely), the (read full article) |

| From our deconstruction of hundreds of Hollywood blockbusters and sitcoms at www.clickok.co.uk/The Hero's Journey is the template upon which the vast majority of successful stories and Hollywood blockbusters are based upon. In fact, ALL of the Hollywood movies we have deconstructed are based on this template.Understanding this template is a priority for story or screenwriters.The Hero's Journey:a) Attempts to tap into unconscious expectations the audience has regarding what a story is and how it should be told.b) Gives the writer more structural elements than simply three or four acts, plot points, mid point and so on.c) Interpreted (read full article) |

| Article Title :: Deplorable Trash or Staggering Genius? The Movie Irreversible |
| |
| Tipper Gore, get out the big guns. 'Irreversible' is here, and it’s just thrown one helluva first punch. No amount of boycotting, picketing, prohibition or name-calling could stop this blistering piece or moral certitude from landing, smoking, on the doorsteps of video stores all across the country. I’ve watched it myself. Walked on down to the store and picked it up, right off the shelf. That was three nights ago, and since then, my mind keeps coming back to it, wheeling around and locking down on this aspect of it or that, unable to stop relating to something I wish I’d never watched in the first place.Yeah, I thought I’d seen it all. I’m one of those people who quotes (read full article) |

| Article Title :: Corporate Reality TV |
| |
| We have just spent the like six years or so in the midst of a reality TV craze. It seems like every show that came out was a reality show. While I am glad they seem to be dying down finally there is one kind of show I wish I got to see, Corporate Reality TV. Am I the only one that would have been interested in this type of show?It is clear this could never happen because no company would ever agree to allow themselves to be put on national TV. Not only would their competition look for important information they typically dig through dumpsters to find (don’t laugh, it happens) but we would also get to see just how ridiculous corporate America really is.I happen to be in (read full article) |

| Article Title :: The Passion Of The Christ (DVD) Review |
| |
| The most controversial film of 2004, Mel Gibson's The Passion of the Christ was widely derided by critics and detractors as a two-hour anti-Semitic pornography/horror flick, complete with splattering blood and arduous torture. But among the Christian community (of which I consider myself a part) and open-minded people who actually saw the film, The Passion stands alone as the most eloquent expression of God's love for mankind ever to grace the big screen.
The Passion certainly is violent, but not anymore violent than similarly rated films of the past ten years. But despite contentions by some evangelical Christians that everyone should see this film, I don't think young children (read full article) |

| Article Title :: March Of The Penguins (DVD) Review |
| |
| One of the more surprising films of 2005, and perhaps the most intriguing, was March Of The Penguins, a full-length feature film documentary cut from the same mold as a PBS National Geographic special. Directed by Luc Jacquet, the film had its origins in France, but the narrative theme is neither French, nor English, or for that matter, reflective of any nation’s cultural influence. Instead, March Of The Penguins is a truly rare cinematic masterpiece that transcends borders, language, and culture. Its brilliant portrayal of the Emperor penguin in his natural habitat offers universal appeal to audiences everywhere by reinforcing the themes of love, companionship, life, and the struggle to o (read full article) |

| Article Title :: It's A Wonderful Life (DVD) Review |
| |
| The quintessential Christmas classic, It's A Wonderful Life has dominated the holiday TV landscape with its timeless story of love, friendship, and a kind man’s exceedingly relevant life. Filmed in 1947, this Frank Capra masterpiece debuted in theaters to what could best be described as a lukewarm reception. Yet it quickly rose in stature following repeated annual television airings in the 1960s, a Christmas tradition that continues to this day. Centered around the life of George Bailey (Jimmy Stewart), a likeable, ambitious resident of Bedford Falls who harbors dreams of grandeur, the film sets out to portray a viewpoint of a world in which the divine’s ultimate plan may be far differen (read full article) |
