Four Facts Why 3D Movie Glasses Give Higher Quality 3D Enjoyment

3D movies are gaining more popularity than ever. The Clash of the Titans, Alice in Wonderland, Cloudy with a Chance of meatballs, Toy Story 3 and a dozen more are now reigning the movie industry. Since 2009, we have been bombarded with great visual effect movies that got movie-goers raving about. After finally getting that ticket, you will receive a pair of odd-looking 3D movie glasses. What does it do anyway? Read on.

3D movies are best viewed using 3D movie glasses. These specialized glasses improve the clarity and vibrancy of the movie. There are several glasses to choose from ranging from traditional red and blue glasses to sophisticated polarized ones.

Upcoming Movie

The older types of 3D glasses made images clearer. Basically, they would filter red lights in one eye and blue on the other. In viewing a 3D movie, red and blue colors from these images are then removed respectively for each eye. Your brain then creates an image that projects these special effects better. However, the drawback is that it takes away the brightness of the movie. There are some viewers that find this odd and would not use them throughout the movie.

The evolution of 3D movies also involved 3D movie glasses. From red and blue lenses to clear or grayish lenses, these sleek and highly functional movie glasses are slowly adapting to High Definition settings. The shapes and sizes also evolved from thin cardboard-like glasses to ultra-cool and 'geeky' glasses. A high-end movie lens costs more. Sony and Samsung are major producers of these sophisticated devices offering high-end movie lenses that are rechargeable. On the other hand, LG produced cheaper, more passive polarized glasses that you usually use in the cinemas.

Today, we favor these polarized lenses better than the standard red and blue glasses. Polarized lenses are more equipped in filtering several lights that dramatically improves the visual effects.

You will also appreciate these 3D glasses with your 3D DVDs. Playing a three dimensional movie using High Definition resolution should improve its special effects. If you do not own a HDTV, a 3D TV converter should help you get an almost similar effect with 3D-ready televisions.

These 3D glasses are essential to keeping these images 'real'. These come in a variety of shapes, sizes and lens colors. Some 3D DVD packages these glasses along with the DVD. It specifically caters to the visuals for that movie. So, if you ever find yourself across 'weird' looking glasses, wear them and enjoy the film!

Upcoming Movie - The Lovely Bones

The Lovely Bones is an upcoming fantasy movie based on the book of the same name by Alice Sebold, set for release by Paramount Pictures on December 11, 2009.

Susie Salmon is the oldest of three children living in a suburban Pennsylvania community. Somewhat of a loner, before her death, Susie dreams that high school will change her life measurably. Susie is bright beyond her years and exhibits a unique curiosity and great wit even while relating incidents about her family from heaven. Walking home from school one day, Susie is lured away by someone she knows and then meets her violent death. From this point on till the end of the story, Susie relates the effect her death has on her parents, siblings and grandmother. She watches as her parents cope with the preliminary news and then ensuing investigation while Susie's body is never found. We watch along with Susie as their lonely neighbor, Mr. Harvey is scrutinized and questioned although never arrested or charged. We observe Susie's friends, Paul the shy Indian student initially accused of the murder and Ruth who is able to communicate with Susie. And our hearts ache as Susie's younger sister Lindsey finds friendship and ultimately love during the years after this event, their brother Buckley grows up never really knowing Susie and their grandmother becomes a vital part of a family she hardly knew. But most of all we cry as Susie's father never gives up trying to find out what happened to Susie and her mother who most leave the family in order to rejoin them at a later time. 

Upcoming Movie

The book was truly amazing, once you pick it up, you will find it hard to put down.

Upcoming Movie - The Lovely Bones

Korean Movies

North Korea doesn't have much of a film industry, so this look at Korean movies is strictly limited to those works produced in South Korea. The film industry experienced a major boom in the late 1990s, and this success has carried over into the new millennium. With projects boasting high production values, original and challenging storylines, and plenty of talented and attractive actors, Korean movies have garnered international acclaim with no sign of slowing down.

The following list is intended to be an introduction to the cinema of South Korea. You'll notice that the oldest film on the list was released in 1998, but that was an intentional choice on my part. I want to get viewers who are unaccustomed to foreign films interested, and I'm guessing that including Korean movies from the '60s and '70s isn't the best way to go about this.

Upcoming Movie

Oldboy (2003) - The second film in director Park Chan-wook's Vengeance Trilogy, Oldboy tells the story of businessman Oh Dae-Su (Choi Min-sik). Captured and imprisoned in a hotel room for unknown reasons, he's released after 15 years and tasked with finding the identity of his captor. What follows is a wickedly beautiful tale of revenge and forbidden love. Voters on CNN named it one of the 10 best Asian films ever made, and it's drawn rave reviews from Quentin Tarantino.

Attack the Gas Station (1999) - A gang of likable thugs rob a gas station at the beginning of the movie, and then they turn right around and rob it again the next night. But this time the manager has stashed the cash, and so the quartet of hooligans kidnap the employees, pump the gas themselves, and keep the money. As they fend off bullies, cops, and deadbeat customers, they become more sympathetic and learn a few things about themselves.

Barking Dogs Never Bite (2000) - The directorial debut of Bong Joon-ho (The Host), this film revolves around an out-of-work college professor who's driven up the wall by the barking dogs in his apartment complex. Resorting to abuse and kidnapping to silence them, he's soon pursued by a plucky young employee at the building (Bae Doona). In case you're wondering, it's a dark comedy.

Thirst (2009) - Park Chan-wook helms this tale of a priest who gets turned into a vampire due to a failed medical experiment. As he tries to cope with his condition, he falls for the abused wife of an old friend--with rather bloody results.

The Quiet Family (1998) - Combining horror and dark comedy, this Korean film centers around a family who opens a lodge for hikers, but their clients always end up dying. Korean stars Song Kang-ho and Choi Min-sik co-star.

Joint Security Area (2002) - When two soldiers are killed in the demilitarized zone between North and South Korea, a special investigative unit is dispatched to get to the truth. Quentin Tarantino named it one of his 20 favorite films since 1992.

Sympathy for Lady Vengeance (2005) - The final film in Park Chan-wook's Vengeance Trilogy, the motion picture follows a mild-mannered woman just released from prison for the murder of a schoolboy. It turns out that she's innocent, and every day spent in prison was a day she was plotting revenge against the man who was actually guilty of the crime. A delicious tale of revenge and high-heel pumps.

The Host (2006) - An average Korean family is nearly torn apart when their youngest member is captured and drug into the sewers by a mutated amphibious monster. Pooling their talents together, they seek to rescue the girl and destroy the loathsome creature. Directed by Bong Joon-ho, it's the highest-grossing South Korean film of all time.

Sympathy for Mr. Vengeance (2002) - The first film in Park Chan-wook's excellent Vengeance Trilogy, Sympathy takes a look at a deaf-mute man trying to get a kidney transplant for his sister. When things don't work out, he resorts to kidnapping the young daughter of an executive--with tragic consequences.

Shiri (1999) - The South Korean version of a Hollywood action film, Shiri is about a team of North Korean agents intent on wreaking havoc against their southern neighbors. Their most successful member is a female sniper who's been active in South Korea as a sleeper agent for years, picking off a number of government officials during that time. An honest cop and his partner must try to unravel the plot and root out the enemy agent, although her true identity may prove troublesome for very different reasons. You'll recognize Yunjin Kim, better known as Sun from the television series Lost.

If you're the type of person who avoids subtitles, I'm hoping this brief look at Korean movies may tempt you to give at least one film on the list a try. You'll find Korean cinema to be a rich blend of foreign culture and modern filmmaking techniques, and they're currently turning out some of the most entertaining motion pictures on any continent. This is just the tip of the iceberg, however, and a search of online rental sites such as Netflix and Blockbuster will turn up hundreds of other films from the country.

Must See Movies of 2011

One of the first things that people look into at the beginning of the year is what movies are going to come out within the next twelve months. This builds up excitement for the next blockbuster. So, this 2011, what are the movies that we should look forward to?

Transformers: Dark of the Moon

Upcoming Movie

This is the third installment of the Michael Bay directed franchise based on the 1980s toy line, comic book series and animated television series. Starring Shia LaBeouf, this movie picks up on a new power found on the moon. It rewrites our modern history to deepen the relationship of humans with transformers.

For geeks and casual fans alike, this should be a thrilling movie. However, considering that the last movie, although a box office hit, for a lack of better term, sucked, it's a bitter-sweet feeling to learn about the next one. Bitter since it could again disappoint fans of the franchise especially considering the fact that Meagan Fox, the breakout female lead actress since the original movie, won't be returning for this film.

On a positive note, Shia LaBeouf himself admitted that he didn't like the last movie. Hopefully this would fuel a better sequel. Plus, Optimus Prime, Megatron, Bumblebee, Iron Hide, Starscream are all returning along with the other transformers plus new ones. And that should be sweet.

Pirates of the Caribbean On Stranger Tides

They couldn't resist. And the fans are happy about it. The famous Captain Jack Sparrow, arguably the reason why the original Pirates of the Caribbean movie became such a hit, returns to the big screen. Johnny Depp returns for this role along with Geoffrey Rush as Captain Barbossa. We will see new faces in Ian McShane as the notorious pirate Blackbeard and Penelope Cruz as his daughter and Jack Sparrow's love interest. Orlando Bloom and Keira Knightley won't be reprising their roles as Will Turner and Elizabeth Swan-Turner respectively stating that their character's storyline has gone as far as it could.

In the fourth installment of the Pirates franchise, Sparrow and Barbossa are on a quest for the infamous Fountain of Youth. Filming was done in the United Kingdom and Hawaii instead of the actual Caribbean like the previous films.

Thor

Next is the upcoming Marvel movie Thor. Again this film is tied up with previous films such as Iron Man and the Hulk. Here, the Mighty Thor is banished from Asgard by his father Odin due to his reckless actions which results in the re-ignition of an ancient war. He is cast down to Earth as punishment. When the dark forces of Asgard invades, he then learns what it takes to be a hero.

Being one of the original Avengers, this movie, much like Hulk and Iron Man and the upcoming Captain America film, sets the tone for an Avengers movie to the delight of comic book fans all over the globe. Thor is played by actor Chris Hemsworth. The main protagonist of the movie, Thor's brother Loki, is played by Tom Hiddleston. Thor's love interest, Dr. Jane Foster is played by Natalie Portman.

Get Up, Get Going, Do Something

Yesterday I was splitting some wood with a few friends to help out someone else. It hit me that here I was a 48 year old Home Inspector taking my time on a Sunday afternoon to split more than three cords of wood with friends to help out another person. Could I make this an article to get another person motivated to do something?

Hey I know the economy is bad, housing market is down, unemployment is high how could anyone possibly keep motivated to do something as strenuous as splitting wood for someone else. Never mind how full the glass of water is, you need to be self motivated. The key word in self-motivated is "self".

Upcoming Movie

I do the following everyday to get my but out of bed, feet on the floor and my day started.

•Thank God for this day and all his blessings, good & bad. You're luckier than most already, you have a roof over your head, you're not hungry, and there is more than likely someone who cares about you sleeping just a few inches away.

•Say something positive to everyone in your life at least once every day, if you cannot think of something, make something up. Remember you have the positive attitude.

•Find a charity that you can get involved in. Everyone needs to help another human out for no reason at all sometimes.

•Turn off that Boob-Tube in your house, read a book, take a trip to the museum, or just take a walk at a local park.

•Pray for someone that you really do not like. Praying for an enemy just might make you think twice about carrying around that resentment.

•Find something in your day or week to look forward too. It could be an upcoming movie, dinner with friends or just a nice meal by yourself.

•Get outside; there's a whole world out there waiting for you to see. Take a look at the sunset tonight, the stars that follow or the sunrise that starts your day. If you had problems praying before I am sure you won't after one of these that you take your time to actually see.

•Exercise for just a few minutes, a quick walk around the block or a short jog to the park to relax will do wonders and make you feel years younger.

•Learn something new or creative, sign up on Twitter and make a few post.

•Some of us have problems talking to family members, try posting some old photos of you or them on Facebook and wait for their replies. Someone has to make the first move, why not let it be you.

•Ever tried meditating? Google "meditation techniques" and explore the wonderful mysteries that are in your own mind.

Just remember; You will only get back what you give out. -Aho Mitakuye Oyasin

Summer Blockbuster Movies 2008

Every summer Hollywood lets loose with all the good stuff they've been holding back all year long. For months they have been teasing you with sneak peeks and trailers building up a level of excitement and anticipation the like of which have not been since last summer.

I kinda looked forward to this summer, as the promise of getting to see Speed Racer or my childhood hero, Indiana Jones on the silver screen is about one of three things that can actually lure me out of my house (fire and the next Dresden Files book are the others). Unfortunately, I blinked and missed Speed Racer, and it's too hot outside to leave my climate controlled home to see Indy. That's what HBO is for. And trust me, the way they loop a movie and play it to death, there will be more than ample opportunity to see them both. Twice.

Upcoming Movie

But this year, Hollywood thinks I was in a severe car crash and now have to eat blended mashed potatoes through a straw while watching the high drama and suspense of the Wonder Pets on Nick Jr.

Wasn't there a Hulk movie out not but just a couple of years ago? I remember the gigantic Hulk statue inside Madam Tussaud's and taking a picture of my husband next to it. And correct me if I am wrong or out of line here, but didn't it also suck so bad that we all left the theater with a severe case of wind burn?

I can't seem to recall who the big villain was in that movie, who the writers and producers thought we wanted to see the Hulk smash-oh, wait a minute, I do remember. It was a dog. That's right, they injected not one, or two, but three dogs with green juice and set them after the Hulk. They were large breed dogs and fairly mean, they did bark a lot prior to being juiced up by Nick Nolte. Hahaha! OMG that movie was awful. No, really, it was. If I want to see a guy smack a dog around, and I DON'T, I can watch one of Animal Planet's dog rescue shows.

And, not for nothing, the Hulk as a character was totally unbelievable. I don't mean the acting, cause, lets face it, Lou Ferrigno will always own that role. I'm, talking about that dreadful animation. It was like a bunch of guys who dropped out of DeVry did it on a lap top they stole from some high school out in the mid west. How hard can decent animation be? A long time ago when Jurassic Park came out the whole world thought they were looking at dinosaurs, and that was with what we would now consider old, aka "cheap," special effects.

There was this one part of the movie, I think it was about an hour and a half long, where the Hulk was in a secret army base in Utah and then just started running and jumping and smashing. He destroyed tanks and planes and bombs and managed to skip right over school buses and flower beds. Then he saw the love interest, Betty, and calmed down and the movie ended. It was right before the part where he beat up three dogs. Before that were the opening credits.

So now this new Hulk movie is out, and everyone is going on about how great it's gonna be. Hello! The Hulk movie is not really about the Hulk. It's just a really cheap way to prep movie goers for the Avengers movie that is scheduled to come out in a few years.

And who else is sick and tired of people saying "Oh, don't you just love Ed Norton?" Ummm, the guy from the Honeymooners? That was my first reaction. I had no idea who he was. As it turns out, he was that guy opposite Brad Pitt in Fight Club. Ironic that the movie poster for Fight Club was a bar of soap and Brad Pitt looked like he needed to be hit with a pressure washer. I know that's not what the soap "represented" but Brad did look really dirty. mmmmm.

Ed Norton. Indeed. Why would you take that name if you had the choice of all of the names that ever were or could be. At least use some sexy or talented guy's name! Or even take a page out of Marilynn Manson's book for Pete's sake, combine two perfectly good celebrity names into one neat original one. If I ever grow up to be a Hollywood movie star you can bet I'm not gonna call myself Rosie O'Donnel or Godzilla. But Rosie Rodan, that has promise.

I also really wanted to see the new Batman movie too, Dark Knight, but then poor Heath Ledger had to go and die. I cried when I heard. I'll miss him, but not for nothing, this movie was so totally gonna rock. It was gonna be Justin Bale's big break, no more would he be "that guy from American Psycho," but rather, the Batman! Sadly, between the early reviews and news articles, and months of sneak peaks and on-line flamers, the talk of a posthumous Oscar, the latest reviews and newest commercials... I'm board of it already, and the movie is still like a month away from being released. Makes me want to see that Dragonball movie coming out next year. James Marsters is gonna play the role of Piccolo. Did anyone else just feel that breeze?

But here's the worst insult of all. Someone let M. Night Shyamalan make another movie. Bad people, BAD! When are they gonna learn? All his movies, all, ever single last one - ALL have a twist ending that Stevie Wonder can see coming. The stories are at best "alright," at least three characters have to whisper everything they say, and not a single film he's ever made is worth the gas it would take to drive to the theater. Don't believe me, here's what critics have to say about his new movie - it has a "R" rating. Oooooo. That's the best thing so far. An "R" rating. So what. Wanna impress me? How about this movie make a lick of sense! Keep me in my seat, at the very least keep me awake.

I can't control myself any longer, spoiler alert - and I use the word "spoiler" very, very loosely.

Here's the thing, if trees were ever going to develop some sort of chemical warfare that singled out and killed humans:

1. NY City would be about the safest place you could be and not where the movie takes place. The Sahara desert would be the second safest place. The Amazon River Basin and Yellowstone National Park would be killing fields, not Manhattan. 2. Maybe one plant, or even hell let's go crazy, one entire species of plant could develop such a power, but all plants everywhere all at once, no, not gonna happen. The animation in the Hulk is more believable.

So, what have we learned about Hollywood's summer blockbuster movies? With the price of gas and the heat, I'm advising that everyone get Netflicks and let the downloading begin. You can do it from the safety of you're own climate controlled environment, pause the movie, use your own toilet, and enjoy a snack you didn't have sell a kidney on E-Bay to be able to afford. That's what I plan on doing. Provided of course no one sets my house on fire while I'm reading the next Dresden Files book. Can't wait for book 11 to hit the shelves!

Angelina Jolie To Star In New Werewolf Movie "Bitten"

We've learned that A-List actress Angelina Jolie will be starring in a new upcoming werewolf movie for Warner Brothers called "Bitten". Jolie will be playing a woman who's bitten by a werewolf, and leaves her pack for a normal human life where she begins a career, and falls in love. She is soon drawn back into the pack however when a rogue band of werewolves threaten the world she now loves. No word yet on a helmer for the pic, but I'm sure they're going to get someone if not top notch atleast very well known to helm this one. "Bitten" should hit theaters in 07' or 08'. In the mean time..we'll be sure to keep you guys posted on this one!

This film will make Angelina Jolie's horror film debut. The actress has taken on many roles ranging from action star (Tomb Raider, Tomb Raider 2:The Cradle Of Life, Mr. and Mrs. Smith),
to drama star (Alexander), to thriller star (Taking Lives). It'll be interesting to see how well she does in her first horror film role. Since she is taking on the starring role in "Bitten", this might put a serious cramp in those rumors that surfaced a few months back which had the 30 year old actress returning to play Lara Croft once again in another "Tomb Raider" film, which would've been the third movie in the video game adaptation film series which kicked off back in 2000 with "Lara Croft:Tomb Raider."

How to Get Kerasotes Theaters Discount Movie Tickets

Do you want to go to the theaters more often to see the upcoming movies that you have long been waiting for? Probably see a number of movie sequels that you have waited for years to come out? While it's easy enough to say that you are going to the movies, it's not as affordable as before. If you are planning to see a movie in Kerasotes Theater, remember a few of these things to make sure that you save on the next movie you watch.

If you just would like to watch a movie and you can do it any time of the day, choose to see the matinee screening because the price is way cheaper. If you are going out on a date, arrange for the movie to be earlier so you get the discount movie tickets instead of the regular-priced ones.

Upcoming Movie

You can also opt to get the student discounts if you are one. All you have to present is a valid ID proving that you are still a student. If you are going with a big group, you can also get discounts because Kerasotes and other theaters give discounts if you purchase movie tickets in bulk.

Hot and Gentle Jennifer Garner

You know her as the tough ass-kicking chick, CIA Agent Sydney Bristow, on the hit television series Alias. But do you know that in real life, hot and sexy actress Jennifer Garner is such a soft and gentle lady at heart? When she is not fighting criminals on-screen, Garner would rather stay at home and do some chores. She enjoys cooking and gardening a lot.

Born in Houston, Texas, Garner was raised in Charleston, West Virginia. There she spent nine years of her adolescence studying ballet. After taking up a drama major in college, she immediately went to New York where she worked as a hostess while pursuing a career both in film and television.

Upcoming Movie

The hot and sexy Garner got her break in 1998 when she landed a part on the tv show Felicity. In 2001, she catapulted into stardom with her lead role on Alias. For her work, she has received four consecutive Emmy nominations for Outstanding Lead Actress in a Drama Series. In addition, she also received four Golden Globe nominations and won once, as well as received two Screen Actors Guild Award nominations and won once.

Garner appeared in several films which include Juno (2007), Elektra (2005), 13 Going on 30 (2004), Daredevil (2003), Catch Me If You Can (2002), Pearl Harbor (2001) and Dude, Where's My Car? (2000). Her upcoming movie projects are Christmas in Connecticut, Be With You, and Ghosts of Girlfriends Past.

On June 29, 2005, Garner married her Daredevil co-star, hot and sexy actor Ben Affleck. She gave birth to their daughter, Violet Anne, on December 1, 2005.

2012, the Movie

Based on predictions surrounding the end of the Mayan calendar, Emmerich directs box office stars John Cusack, Thandie Newton, Amanda Peet, Danny Glover, and Oliver Platt. While Emmerich admits that he is a 2012 skeptic, he acknowledges that the concept is excellent for a movie, especially a movie with the epic special effects expected in an Emmerich movie.

From the trailer, it is clear that Emmerich chose the prediction that a geomagnetic reversal was the cause of an abrupt global catastrophe that caused Earth's tectonic plates to start shifting more than usual - proponents of an end of the world scenario in conjunction with the December 21, 2012, date anticipate that this will cause widespread earthquakes that devastate cities not ready for earthquakes, volcanic activity, and tsunamis that wipe out coastal cities. Emmerich is a master when it comes to apocalyptic effects, with a great eye for grand detail, and you can expect more than one iconic landmark to be destroyed during the course of the film. Just from the trailer, the landmark count includes the Christ of the Ozarks, the Sistine Chapel, the Washington Monument, and many others.

Upcoming Movie

In the past, Emmerich concentrated his efforts on the effect of the end of the world on the United States, but it seems like he is expanding his horizons in an attempt to encompass the global nature of the 2012 prediction.

Based on the trailer, he will also follow his trend of focusing on the efforts of several families in the midst of the crisis in order to bring the action closer to home on an emotional level. The focus will vary from an average family to the President of the United States. There are rumors that there is more mysticism - such as Mayan magic and alternate dimensions - and speculative fiction aspects in the 2012 movie than in his other apocalypse movies, but Emmerich is no stranger to that aspect of movies either (i.e. Stargate), although disaster fans might find it unexpected. At the very least, fans of Emmerich and proponents of the 2012 apocalypse may find it an interesting movie and visually stunning.

The movie was originally going to come to theaters in July, but it has since been postponed to allow other movies more attention as well as to give Emmerich time to perfect the special effects. 2012 is now coming to theaters on November 13, 2009. It will give people time to see the movie, incite some research on the subject, and maybe inspire as much preparedness as possible for the upcoming 2012 mystery.

Was Scarlett Johansson the Right Choice to Play the Black Widow?

Iron Man 2 had some fundamental flaws. It was crammed full of different story lines, plot drifts and references to the upcoming Avengers movie in 2012. One of its biggest flaws was that apart from the main character Tony Stark, the rest of the cast fell a bit flat. The worst case was Scarlett Johansson's character the Black Widow.

In the comics the Black Widow (Natalia Romanova) is a former Soviet spy who was sent to spy on Tony Starks company, but after meeting Hawkeye (played by Jeremy Renner in the Avengers) she defects to the US and becomes an agent of SHIELD. Her abilities include unmatched athleticism, expert fighting skills, and mastery over various gadgets.

Upcoming Movie

Apart from one brief scene in Iron Man 2 where the Widow attacks some guards from Hammer Industries, the character has been a real disappointment. Despite the character having one of the best back stories in Marvel comics, Scarlett's portrayal made me wish fellow actor Emily Blunt had taken the role instead. Sure Johansson looks the role of Natalia Romanova, but her acting came off flat and too similar to her performances in her other movies. I call it Jenifer Aniston syndrome. The Widow is also well known for having a Russian accent, but the guys behind Iron Man 2 seemed to think it would be a good idea to leave it out even though it's an essential part of the character. Despite fan boy speculation, I doubt we'll actually see Johansson pull of a Russian accent in the Avengers movie. We'll just have to get past the butchering of the character. Also the Widow is famous for being a spy, yet her antics in Iron Man 2 seemed like she joined Tony Stark's company just to do a profile on him for Nick Fury. It's hardly corporate espionage is it?

Critics and fans have criticised how the Black Widow came off as a constant sex symbol in Iron Man 2 (car undressing scene), but that's a more of a flaw with the character itself. The Black Widow is known for doing anything that gets the job done, even if it means sleeping or flirting with the enemy.

Another reason why the Widow may be a thorn in the Avengers side is that she's not actually a full on member of the Avengers in the comics. She's primarily a SHIELD agent or an Avenger fringe member, yet Marvel have decided the Widow should be a main member of the roster come 2012. Why is this a big deal? It's because iconic Avengers members such as Ant Man (Hank Pym) and the Wasp (Janet Pym) have been left out to avoiding over crowding the roster on screen. Ant Man and the Wasp are two founding Avengers members in the comics, therefore their exclusion is likely to irritate long term fans of the comics come 2012.

I hope Scarlett Johansson pulls a surprise incredible performance in the Avengers movie. For too long women characters have suffered in superhero movies. After all, we need a character to finally wash the bad taste of Elektra and Catwoman out of our mouths.

Was Scarlett Johansson the Right Choice to Play the Black Widow?

Places to Shoot a Movie in Michigan

When someone says "Michigan," what comes to mind-besides cars, snow and college football? How about "regional filmmaking capital"?

That idea may be new to some movie fans and movie makers, but it shouldn't be. After all, the Wolverine State has long attracted filmmakers as a shooting location, thanks to its excellent cities, historically strong economy, and-above all-its great geographical diversity. The state's great strength, for movie directors, is that it offers many kinds of backdrop, and can stand in for nearly any location in the country. Where else can you find rolling plains (perfect for that epic of nineteenth-century Midwestern life), the rugged Porcupine Mountains (ready for that adventure film you're planning), the forested beauty of the Upper Peninsula (the right place for the heroes of your romance film to fall in love), diverse cityscapes (a backdrop for your courtroom drama, crime film, corporate saga, or office comedy), and more-and still never be more than eighty-five miles from the beach? No wonder that movies like Grosse Pointe Blank, Anatomy of a Murder, Ferris Bueller's Day Off, RoboCop, Somewhere In Time and The Evil Dead were all partly or wholly shot in Michigan. More recently, 8 Mile, Jumper and the upcoming Youth In Revolt feature Michigan locations.

Upcoming Movie

And that importance just increased in 2008, as the Michigan legislature passed a bill designed to make Michigan one of the most-incentivized filming locations in the country. From now on, the state that gave the film world Francis Ford Coppola (born in Detroit) will also give it a forty-percent across-the-board refundable tax credit, a loan program, and other incentives. (A complete list and application are available from the Michigan Film Office.) The package couples with the state's inherent attractions to make Michigan a perfect shooting location for any project. Here are a few of the unique locational possibilities that the state affords:

Countryside. Michigan gets all four seasons-warm summers, vibrant falls, snowy (but rarely extreme) winters, and lively springs. Any story set in the woods would benefit from being shot in the Upper Peninsula, or lower-half towns such as Frankfort and Beulah. Midland offers excellent fall and summer possibilities, as do many places located along the gorgeous Chippewa River.

Lighthouses. The Lake Michigan coast is famous for its lighthouses, which make for a gorgeous, gloomy, romantic backdrop.

College campuses. Need a Victorian-looking college campus for a university drama? Try parts of Wayne State University in Detroit, which also has modernized sections. University of Michigan-Ann Arbor offers many possibilities, as do the numerous smaller private universities throughout the state.

Snow. Michigan gets plenty of snow-but not, generally, too much. That's why it's a frequent winter vacation spot for skiers-and a great possibility for any location shoot that needs acres of picturesque snow everywhere, whether urban or rural.

Unique Places. Michigan's got plenty of these-from the no-cars-allowed, nineteenth-century village charm of Mackinac Island to a fully functioning '50s diner (near Rockford) to the harbor terminals of Detroit; from the stone stairs of Castle Rock (leading to a gorgeous limestone tower) to the modest Porcupine Mountains to the enormous Sleeping Bear Sand Dunes.

Period charm. Making a historical epic? Michigan offers old-fashioned train stations, ghost towns, model nineteenth-century villages and farms, and one entire town devoted to imitating a German village. Old forts, the Mackinac Island Grand Hotel, and a Frank Lloyd Wright house are among the other oddities available to the state's visitors.

Urban skylines. Every kind of city location can be found in Detroit, one of America's most important cities. From skyline shots to warehouses, from unique indoor malls to splendorous downtown buildings, from abandoned urban No Man's Land to one of America's wealthiest suburbs, Metro Detroit's got you covered.

Of course, that's a lot of traveling. For filmmakers and their personnel visiting any of the above locations, transportation is always needed. Thankfully, at least one Detroit-based company has experience with this kind of thing. Checker Sedan most recently drew praise for its handling transportation needs related to SuperBowl XL. In a letter posted on the company's website, a celebrity lauds their competence and friendliness, saying, "You didn't have to welcome us with open arms ... but you did."

What Harry Potter Can Teach You About Creating A Speech Introduction

When you go to see a movie, what's the first thing that you always see? The answer is, of course, trailers! I must confess that there have been movies that I've gone to in the past in which the trailers were the best part of the whole movie viewing experience! What's interesting about these trailers is that they have been designed with one thing in mind: to get you to come back and see the movie that they are advertising. Maybe we can learn something from trailers that we can use in our next speech.

Why The Opening Of Your Speech Is So Very Important

Upcoming Movie

Let's spend a moment thinking about what runs through your mind when you go to see a movie. You sit down in your seat, you've got your tub of popcorn, your gigantic cup of soda and you're in the mood to be entertained.

All of the ads and trailers get over and then the main feature starts. How long does it take you to figure out if you are going to enjoy watching this movie? How long is it before you might start thinking that the US that you've spent to be sitting in this seat at this time was a big mistake? I'm willing to bet that this evaluation happens in less than a minute. Maybe even in less than 30 seconds.

Clearly, how a movie starts is a critical part of determining whether or not we're going to end up enjoying it. Sure, sure - sometimes a movie can start out badly and pull out a save in the end. However, these are rare occurrences - the opening pretty much determines what we're going to think about the whole movie.

Although you and I are not in the movie making business, we do spend our time making and delivering speeches. If you're willing to come a long with me for just a moment or two, then I'd like to propose that a speech is very much like a movie. We know about the importance of public speaking and it's up to us to show our audience how important what we have to say is. We've got an audience and we'd like to capture their attention (no matter how good their listening skills are) and hold it throughout our entire speech. Hmm, I wonder just how we can go about doing this...

How To Build A Speech Opening That's Like A Movie Trailer

Maybe we should take an easier route here. Instead of trying to worry about building our entire speech like a movie, let's just focus for now on building our speech's opening like a movie trailer.

What is the purpose of a movie trailer? It's a quick 1-2 minute video presentation that is designed to get us interested enough in an upcoming movie that we'll come back to the movie theater and pay to see it. Hmm, this attention grabbing thing sounds exactly like what we try to do when we are starting our speech.

How does a movie trailer work its magic on us? It's actually pretty simple. A movie trailer has to immediately grab our attention. No matter if it's an explosion, a gunshot, or a face slap, it has very little time so it has to move quickly.

The next thing that has to happen in a movie trailer is that we need to be introduced to the characters. This needs to happen fast and we need to understand who they are and what they are trying to do. They may be an archeologist, a superhero, a wizard, it doesn't matter - the background is being set up. This also needs to be done quickly.

A movie trailer only has time to accomplish one more thing. The people that we've just been introduced to now have to be put into some sort of challenging situation that there appears to be no way for them to get out of. This is the "hook" that will make us come back to the movie theater in order to find out how things turn out.

When you are creating the opening for your next speech, you are going to want to do the same set of steps. You have very little time in which to capture your audience's attention and so you're going to have move quickly. The first words out of your mouth are going to have to grab their attention. You're going to have to follow this up with a description of the situation that you'll be talking about and the people who will be involved. Finally, you'll need to create challenging situation to end your introduction. This challenge is what's going to cause your audience to remain sitting in their seats and listening to your entire speech.

What All Of This Means For You

The first few words that tumble out of your mouth during your next speech set the stage for the rest of the speech that is to follow. One of the benefits of public speaking is that you control what you say and so you can create a powerful introduction for your next speech. Your speech's introduction is a critical part of making the entire speech effective.

In order to design a speech opening that will both grab and hold your audience's attention, take a look at how movie trailers do it. They always open with a bang - they grab your attention. Next, they introduce the characters and provide some background info, and finally they place them in some sort of situation that appears to be difficult / impossible to get out of. This is exactly what you need to do in your speech's opening in order to hook your audience. Forget all of those presentation tips - the opening of your speech is where it's at.

The opening of your speech is only one part of the total speech. However, if you get this part correct, then the rest of the speech will be much easier to do correctly. Take the time to craft a great "trailer" for your next speech and your audience will end up giving you a great review!

Movie Review: Hugo

This movie review or comment is about Hugo. Among the movies I am looking forward to seeing the most this fall is Hugo, Martin Scorsese's latest work. Derived from the book The Invention of Hugo Cabret, the movie, features Asa Butterfield in the starring role as Hugo Cabret, an boy who is orphaned and living a life of secret in the walls of a train station in Paris, in the 1930s. When he comes across a machine that is broken, (Chloe Moretz), a peculiar girl and (Ben Kingsley), the reserved, heartless man who operates the toy shop, he found himself a part of a mysterious, magical adventure that has the potential of putting every one of his secrets in danger of exposure. The film also features Sacha Baron Cohen in the role of the awkward train station inspector.

This movie is the very first attempt of the Oscar-winning, iconic Martin Scorsese as he ventures into family films. It is also the first time that he is trying his hands at 3D film making. Therefore, expect the film to equally appeal to children, older elementary students who may have read the novel and film buffs who take their movies seriously. This adventure is supposed to be an exceptional family pick for the upcoming holiday season; especially with its supporting cast of A-list stars, young stars Chloe Moretz and Asa Butterfield, and the legendary director, Martin Scorsese. Look forward to some tense scenes and peril as the adventure unfurls.

Upcoming Movie

The latest trailer of the Hugo adventure was released on October 26, 2011 and it comes with a tone that is a great deal more serious than the trailer which was previously released in July. This most recent trailer features "Breath and Life" by Audiomachine, which is incidentally the very same music that was used in the previews of both The Fighter and The Adjustment Bureau. This is in sharp contrast to the first trailer which was released in July and featured cheerful and upbeat music. The first trailer came with "King and Queens," the song done by 30 seconds to Mars and it offers more on the playful chase of Hugo with the lumbering inspector of the station (Sacha Baron Cohen). This recently released trailer depicts Ben Kingsley more as Georges Méliès, the ground-breaking French filmmaker.

The film rights of the book were bought in 2007 by Martin Scorsese and he began filming in London at the Shepperton Studios since June 2010. This adventure film also stars Johnny Depp, Richard Griffiths, Emily Mortimer, Marco Aponte, France Dela Tour, Ray Winstone, Helen McCrory and Christopher Lee.

Do You Need a 3D DVD Player to Enjoy the Full Cinematic Effects of a 3D Movie?

If you are into cinematic-enhanced movies, you might be wondering if you will need a 3D DVD player to enjoy a 3D movie. Since most of the movies now are turning 3D, movie-goers are encouraged to watch them in the theaters! But, you might not need a DVD player just to watch 3D movies. How is this possible? You just needed the right gadgets to help you enjoy the movie at home.

How does 3D work?

Upcoming Movie

Traditionally it works by emitting light from the screen. This is best appreciated using red and blue glasses to maximize the effects. Conventional 3D movies work by using SD or Standard Definition methods.

Fast forward to the present, 3D movies now uses stereoscopic filming. Movies like Avatar and My Bloody Valentine use Digital 3D that is more detailed than conventional three dimensional movies.

You will appreciate a Digital 3D movie through High Definition TV due to its clarity.

Is it required to watch 3D movies using a 3D DVD player?

The answer is no. You can still watch 3D movies using your standard TV at home. Just get a pair of red and blue glasses and you are all set!

If you own a HDTV or a 3D DVD player, you get to enjoy a movie in 3D better. Instead of wearing colored glasses, 3D movies in HDTV is best watched using clear glasses to make the scenes 'pop-out'. It gives better results and the satisfaction might be closer to that in a cinema!

Here are some tricks to maximize your viewing pleasure:

* Heighten the brightness in your TV. If you are using standard television to watch a 3D animation, wearing those colored glasses might make the images dim. To avoid this, increase the brightness to compensate the dark shades from your glasses. This might improve the quality a bit.

* Switch off the lights: You get to experience the full cinematic effects by dimming the room. This enhances the images and projects other bright-colored scenery from the screen. It also lessens the double-vision, halo effects and improves the brightness of the effects.

* Sit closer to the television: You will get a better view and focus if you sit in front -- not on the sides. If you must, you can sit a little closer to appreciate the visuals.

So grab a good pair of red and blue glasses, pop-corn, some soda and company and enjoy a three dimensional movie today!

Great Movie Theater Foods

I love going to the movies, and one of my favorite things about a trip to the theater involves the food I end up eating while I'm there. I know that it's not exactly healthy and it's overpriced, but it's fine to splurge once in a while and it makes the entire experience more enjoyable to me.

Here are a few of the best movie theater foods, in no particular order. Let's see if your favorite made the list.

Upcoming Movie

Nachos are a mainstay at movie theaters now. There's something extremely satisfying about the salty chips and the hot cheese, along with the way they go with a soda. Just make sure not to crunch too loudly during the movie!

A related food and alternative to nachos are pretzel bites, which also found their way into theaters during the 90s and haven't left ever since. These small, hot bits of pretzels are great, especially when dipped in cheese. They're a lower fat option than nachos for anyone looking to limit their intake of fatty foods.

In the candy department, Sour Patch Kids are one of the most popular sellers at movie theaters. People love the contrast between sweet and sour, and these chewy little candies are truly addicting.

Another top candy is Sno-Caps, which are far more popular in movie theaters than they are in stores. The same can be said for Goobers and Junior Mints, as all of these candies are rarely ones that you'd think about buying outside the movie theater.

As far as fountain sodas go, there are many, and they depend on preferences. More recently, flavored slushed ice drinks have gained ground, and it seems like just about every movie theater offers these lately.

Then, of course, there's the food that started it all. Popcorn is as popular as it's ever been, with flavored varieties offering moviegoers the optional change of pace from the classic kind.

A Twilight Movie Review

Twilight movie is one of the latest movies which have its theme based on the book that was written by Stephanie Meyer who is also featured in the same movie. It was actually released in the Philippines way back in November of 2009 and it stars such movie stars as Robert Pattison as Edward and Kristen steward who is featured as Bella. Since its production it has been doing quite well as its casting is cool enough that one can easily derive the theme and meaning of the movie.

Different from the Edward(main vampire character) presented in the book who appears to be confident, perfect and cool at all the times, Edward in the movie is quite anxious and appears uncomfortable at all times. But as the movie continues, he seems to be moved closer to Bella simply because of her behavior through the film. Based on the fact that Edward is handsome, this gives him the advantage of moving even closer to meeting the woman he has always been dreaming of.

Upcoming Movie

Despite the point that Edward is a vampire, this did not actually stop Bella from falling in love with him, something that most people will be intrigued with when watching the movie. In a normal situation, you will realize that once an individual come to learn about the evil deeds practiced by the person you love, their relationship will come to an abrupt end, but the producer of this film/ tackles this differently. Bella still dreams of Edward every night despite having learned about his impureness and so many other evil deeds.

The producer of the twilight movie also uses the music throughout the movie very well. The provision of lullaby songs for Bella is absolutely amazing as it adds to the uniqueness in the film production from other common movie making. The producer of this great movie uses two very important aspect of styles; suspense and romance which eventually bring out the quality production which makes one great movie that you will never want to miss. Therefore in case you really want to enhance all that you have been reading in the twilight book, then you should actually watch this great movie produced by a renowned producer from the Philippine movie style. Watching the Twilight movie will always make you want to watch more from this great producer as it pushes you to the edge of your seat. New Moon(Twilight 2) has also released and promises to continue where this original film leaves off.

Upcoming Bollywood Actors

The Hindi film industry is seeing a rising number of promising actors. Many upcoming Bollywood movies feature young talent over established actors since their films often do well at the box office. Also, movies with youthful themes require youthful actors. There is now a breed of 'gen next' actors who have made the cut in mainstream Hindi cinema.

Bollywood's much loved chocolate boy, Shahid Kapoor initially looked like a one hit wonder with Ishq Vishk Pyaar Vyaar in 2003. There followed a string of flops until he struck gold with Jab We Met, in which he starred along side Kareena Kapoor. The promising young actor showed he could hold his own in the critically acclaimed hit Kaminey. He is starring in lead roles in upcoming Hindi movies Milenge Milenge (with Kareena Kapoor)and in his father's directorial debut Mausam (with Sonam Kapoor).

Upcoming Movie

Debonair and charismatic, Ranbir Kapoor, the son of veteran actor Rishi Kapoor and Neetu Singh scored zero with his first outing Saawariya in 2007. However, he did manage to pick up the Filmfare Best Male Debut Award for his role in the movie. His next offering Bachna Ae Haseeno did fairly well at the box office and found favor among film critics. Wake Up Sid and Ajab Prem Ki Ghazab Kahani were commercially successful although both films met with mixed responses. His 2010 projects include the recently released Rajneeti and Anjaana Anjaani with Priyanka Chopra.

Although he is mostly in the news for his unusual pick of films, Abhay Deol is certainly a promising Bollywood actor. Not quite the typical Bollywood hero, his chosen debut vehicle was Socha Na Tha in 2005. The film did not garner much enthusiasm with the public. The 2008 film Oye Lucky Lucky Oye was a smash hit and fetched rave reviews for his offbeat performance. Anurag Kashyap's Dev D further established that Abhay Deol was an upcoming Bollywood actor to look out for. He will be seen in upcoming Bollywood movies Rajshri Ojha's Aisha and Zoya Akhtar's Running with the Bulls.
