Too Many Television Shows For Our Teens To Have Shared Memories As Adults
When I was a child and then a teenager, in the 60s and 70s, the only new television programs airing in the U.S. were on ABC, CBS, NBC and PBS. Therefore there were relatively few television shows to watch. We also did not have computers and video games back then so I imagine that a larger percent of time was spent watching TV. My point is that because so many people were watching so few shows, the people in this age group (the younger half of the baby boom) have a shared nostalgia of television shows of their youth. I worry that our teens will not experience this when they are our age. Ever since Fox became the fourth network, more and more channels have been adding new programming to their lineup.
Pretty Woman - A Cinderella Story?
Everyone has an opinion on the Oscar nominated, Golden Globe award winning movie starring acclaimed actress Julia Roberts. It is one of my favorite movies. The woman falls in love with the handsome, loving, rich prince who takes her away in his limo. It is like a modern day Cinderella, I think. However, many would say that its just a woman who needs help financially, and a man who likes to pay to control people. So, he got what he wanted, and so does she. It's just a working relationship. Here is a brief summary of the movie. Pretty Woman is a modern tale of a woman who had a hard life and still finds love.

Film Review - There Will Be Blood
The 2007 film 'There Will Be Blood, ' written for the screen and directed by Paul Thomas Anderson, rightly deserves its place as an American epic masterpiece. This haunting and highly involved tale revolves around the life of independent oilman, Daniel Plainview ( Daniel Day - Lewis ), and his adopted son, as they search for 'black gold' within the rough terrain of the California desert at the turn of the 20th century. Daniel Plainview's ambition as an oil entrepreneur is a fiercely rugged journey, fascinatingly portrayed in parallel to the historical development of the Industrial Revolution;
Aimée Jaguar 1999 - A Love Story Between a German Housewife and a Jewish Journalist
Max Färberböck's adaptation of Erica Fischer's book 'Aimée & Jaguar' seems to be a conceptual film adaptation which means that the core of the story remained more or less the same although there are some significant changes in certain aspects of the original story. The film director focused more on the relationship between two lesbian females as such, satisfying more his own private male fantasies regarding such a relationship (see especially the passionate, almost pornographic film scene from the 62nd to the 65th minute of the film! ) than translating Fischer's book about the German woman named Lilly (Elisabeth Wust, with nickname Aimée) and the Jewish woman named Felice Schragenheim (with the nickname Jaguar) into the film medium.
Hallelujah for the Remote Control - Zap
It must be hard work being a television addict in the US. Not only are there far too many channels to choose from, but you can turn on the box just about any time of the day or night and be guaranteed to find something that'll keep you watching - even if you don't really want to. Mind you, much of it seems to be regurgitated reruns that weren't that spectacular first time around. Of the more up-to-date stuff available there's an unlimited supply of semi-talent shows that come in all shapes and sizes, endless reality programmes trying to out-vulgar one another and so-called complex cutting-edge dramas whose plots are so contorted it becomes impossible to decipher what's going on.
Jon Gustafsson - Director On The Rise - Comes A Filmmaker
The art of creating movies is as unique and individual as the finger prints on our hands. Film directors, creative story tellers they are, visualize every aspect of their film long before lighting is set, cameras roll, and action begins. They are magicians making magic that entertains us with the final cut that reflects the spirit and passion of their dreams. Comes one such filmmaker on the horizon, Jon Gustafsson. Born and raised in Iceland, he developed a passion for filmmaking when his father gave him an 8mm camera. Pursuing his dreams he studied filmmaking in Manchester, England and Directing for Theater and Cinema at the California Institute of the Arts.
How To Get Entertainment And Enjoy Yourself
You're at home so relish over that giant cheeseburger and fries you brought home or left over chicken with all its accouterments. Food and movies have been cooperating since Eve handed Adam that apple. One of the greatest classic comedies I was ever to enjoy was "It's a Mad Mad Mad Mad World" 1963, (yeah, OK, I'm an old guy) an all star cast, 2 Oscar awards and 9 nominations. My brother and I received an invitation to attend one of the many releases. This was at the Cinerama Dome in Hollywood (humongous screen), we were on the 3rd row from the front, and at about 11 years old, chomping on a bag of popcorn, We were most definitely along for a ride.
