| Article Title :: Is Online DVD Rental or Pay-Per-View the Best Way to Get Your Movies? |
| |

But with all the different ways to get the latest movies, which way is the best? Well, that depends on what is important to you. Here are some of the different ways you can get the latest movies and the pros and cons of each.Going to the Rental Store I guess it is like they say, sometimes you can't teach an old dog new tricks. It is hard to change from the old ways, especially when they work fairly well. If you want to see a movie, there is always a rental store nearby that should have it available. You are allowed to keep it for a couple of days f (read full article) |

| Article Title :: Who Needs a Life? Trade in Your Free-Time for More TV-Time |
| |
| People do not watch enough television. Did that get your attention? It most likely did in this day and age of babysitting via the boob tube and blaming the obesity epidemic on sedentary habits (read: sitting on one’s ass watching TV). Well, despite your personal opinion on the issue, I stand by that statement. While I am sensitive to many social issues plaguing this country, my concerns do not rest with what many perceive as a medium rotting our minds. I’m much shallower than that – I just want my favorite shows to survive and thrive for many seasons to come.You see, I am a professed television junkie, and very proud of it. I’m the person who thinks TiVo is the greatest inv (read full article) |

| Article Title :: Movie Review: WHEN A STRANGER CALLS (2006) |
| |
| When it comes to delivering scares, When a Stranger Calls is about as effective as the UN during a major humanitarian crisis. Director Simon West (Con Air, Tomb Raider) doesn't do much by way of creating suspense other than making some sudden noises and playing the what's-beyond-the-dark-corner/doorway trick, which becomes tedious in a hurry. And then there are the phone calls. What's meant to create tension and dread simply becomes irritating. The phone just rings again, and again, and AGAIN. Most people would be mighty fed up if they were interrupted by phone calls every 5 minutes, yet protagonist and uber-hottie Jill Johnson (played by Camilla Belle) consistently and patiently picks up th (read full article) |

| Article Title :: Getting Your Reality TV Show Idea in Front of the People Who Make Them |
| |
| More, more, more for less, less, less is what the networks are saying about reality television because the popularity has staying power that is here to stay forever.There will always be a new reality show coming out with new ideas coming from every aspect of life and there are even television stations dedicated to reality TV 24 hours a day. I feel the next wave will be even wilder that the what we are seeing now. It’s going to get kind of weird folks, which in turn makes for great television. Sorry to all my buddies in Hollywood that act or are so called real writers…In my opinion reality TV show writers are just that; "writers" but they are also creators as well which i (read full article) |

| Article Title :: Mexico: Let's Go to the Movies! |
| |
| I love going to the movies. I always have. I can remember the highlight of every Saturday while growing up was when my Dad would give us all 25 cents and off we would go to some movie that was playing at the Dickenson.I still love movie going. I love the whole experience even if the movie isn't good. I love the getting there, the buying of the gut-rotting crap from the concession stand, finding seats, waiting for the lights to go out. Well, you get the idea.Movie going in Mexico isn't much different from going in the United States. We try to hit as many movies as we can.When we first moved to Mexico, a lawyer friend asked me if I would miss going to the movies. Can yo (read full article) |

| Article Title :: Why Desperate Housewives + Sex in the City= Edutainment TV Today |
| |
| I considered softening that title with a question mark, but in my mind it's not much of a question. First, let's establish just what I mean by edutainment.
Edutainment leisure programs that educate as well entertain.
Let's take a brief look at why I've singled out these two programs. I turned on the TV a couple of days ago and saw a promo for another channel that will bringing Sex in the City beyond the realm of HBO. I paused to think about how many women I'd heard use a character on the show as some frame of reference. The show has taken on viral proportions in syndication and that made me wonder if a similar fate awaited the newly touted Desperate Housewives.

| Article Title :: "Big Brother" TV Phenomenon - Lowering Society's Values |
| |
| The so-called television reality shows such as "Big Brother" are catering to those in our society who prefer to "dumb-down" their intelligence. And just look at the size of the audience that programs like this command.This is actually very good news for those of us who detest trash like this. Why? With so many people committing themselves to this farcical nonsense it leaves a relatively small percentage who prefer to do something to improve their knowledge and intelligence.While all the others are absorbed in the pathetic, crude and oftentimes vulgar behavior served up to us by the television moguls as "entertainment," those of us who refuse to be duped can be doing so many (read full article) |
