Great Movie Blogs

There is everything on the internet. Not only do I mean everything but there are reviews, blogs, and articles about EVERYTHING on the internet. There are blogs about movies, music, art, and everything else. When you are looking for good movie blogs than the internet is the best place to start your search.

Now when you are looking for movie blogs you are going to have to sift through quite a few low-grade blogs that do not have very good information about the movie/movies you are looking for. When you are sifting through them you are probably going to want to copy and paste some of the better ones that you happen to find than sift through those again to find the best out of those few you have selected. Some of the best ones will have trailers, articles, and movie posters of the movie you are wanting to see or look up more information on.

When looking up information about movies, movie blogs are the best source of information that you can find. They will give you all you need to know about the movie you are going to go see or more information about the movie you had seen.

Romantic Comedy

Romantic comedy is a genre of movie that combines wittiness with romance. Like the comedies of Shakespeare’s age, >a href=”http://hubpages.com/hub/Romantic-Comedies”>romantic comedies are almost invariably frothy and never serious or heavy. Fresh representatives of the genre include Valentine’s Day and There’s Something about Mary.

The fundamental storyline of a romantic comedy is that two protagonists, ordinarily a man and a woman, meet, part ways as the result of a controversy or other obstacle, then in the end reunite. Sometimes the two characters meet and become involved ab initio, then must confront obstructions to their togetherness. Often the two protagonists are reluctant to fall in love because they think that they dislike one another, because one of them already has a significant other, or because of interpersonal pressures. Still, the screenwriters leave hints that paint a picture that the main characters are, in fact, attracted to one another and that they would be a good love match. The characters frequently separate or look for time away from each other to figure out their feelings or handle the external obstacles to their being together.

The two protagonists recognize how perfect they are for each other while they’re not together. The culmination of a romantic comedy invariably requires a stunning display on the part of one of the two protagonists, where that character shares his or her feelings for the other main character. They live happily ever after.

There are many variations on this rudimentary plot. Sometimes, instead of the two lead characters ending up in one another’s arms, another love match will be made between one of the protagonists and a secondary character. Alternatively, the flick might be a musing on the impossibleness of real love, as in Woody Allen’s movie Annie Hall. The standard format of a romantic comedy film appears in many earlier sources, such as Shakespeare plays like A Comedy of Errors and Love’s Labour’s Lost.

A fresher version of the romantic comedy is the R-rated romantic comedy that’s meant to appeal to men as well as to women. These newer romantic comedies often include elements of the stoner comedy genre. Examples include American Pie and Forgetting Sarah Marshall.

If you’re new to the genre of romantic comedy movies, we recommend some of the following movies:

Working Girl

One Fine Day

Houseboat

Notting Hill

She’s Out of My League

Marvel Deal with Disney Worries Fans

Even superheroes crumble when faced with the might of Mickey Mouse. Disney has bought Marvel Comics for $4 billion, and the news has sent shivers down the spine of teenage comic-book fans all over the world.
Marvel is, after all, the home of heroes who are outsiders and misfits. Spider-Man suffers from teenage angst, the Hulk has an anger management problem, Wolverine hates nearly everybody and the Silver Surfer takes the problems of the universe on his shoulders. How are they going to fit in to a corporation that became a byword for sanitised mass entertainment?
The blogosphere has been alive with cries of fear. But Marvel has been quick to reassure its fans. “Everybody take a deep breath, all your favorite comics remain unchanged,” writes Joe Quesada, Marvel’s editor-in-chief, on Twitter. “Disney merging with Marvel is a VERY GOOD thing for us,” adds CB Cebulski, a Marvel writer and editor.
The acquisition makes perfect business sense. The biggest growth area in Hollywood in the past 10 years has been superhero movies, ever since Terminator 2 made it clear that CGI technology could cope with anything a writer’s imagination could throw at it. And Marvel has been a huge beneficiary, with Spider-Man, X-Men, Fantastic Four and Iron Man being big hits. The Iron Man dvd continues to sell well and bring in extra revenue.
I would bet a mint copy of issue #1 of The Incredible Hulk that every summer for the next 10 years will be dominated by superhero movies.
Disney today is a very different organisation from the one that turned AA Milne’s Winnie-the-Pooh into a saccharine animation in 1966. And the proof is the relationship between Disney and Pixar.
When Disney bought Pixar in 2006, there were anxieties that a giant company was swallowing up a smaller but more successful rival and that Pixar’s distinctive style would not survive. But Disney had the great good sense not to kill the goose that laid the golden eggs, and the result has been classic Pixar animations such as Wall-E, Bolt and the forthcoming Up. And now John Lasseter, the creator of Pixar, is overall head of Disney animation.
Disney is unlikely to forget that with great power comes great responsibility. And lots of money.

Star Trek: Deep Space Nine (Season 3) DVD Review

Nominated for 28 Emmys, including several for Outstanding Visual Effects, Star Trek: Deep Space Nine continues the rich tradition of the original 1960s Star Trek franchise. Created by former L.A. police officer Gene Roddenberry, the Star Trek TV series morphed into a franchise famous for the unprecedented fanatical devotion of its audience. Lasting only three seasons during its original network run, Star Trek struck gold with its syndicated reruns, launching a number of motion pictures featuring the original cast as well as novels, comic books, collectibles, and reams of Star Trek-related memorabilia. Following on the heels of Star Trek: The Next Generation (1987), the first Star Trek series spin-off of the original, Star Trek: Deep Space Nine foreshadowed additional spin-offs - Star Trek: Voyager (1995), and Star Trek: Enterprise (2001). Sporting an entirely new cast and crew from its two predecessors, the show focuses on a particular system administered by the Federation instead of the usual Star Trek mission of “exploring strange new worlds”…

Star Trek: Deep Space Nine follows the exploits of the Starfleet crew aboard an abandoned and gutted Cardassian space station orbiting the planet of Bajor. In the aftermath of Cardassian occupation, the Bajorian government invited the Starfleet to oversee the reconstruction of the space station. Deep Space Nine quickly transformed into a teeming city of commerce and a hub for travel (similar to Babylon 5) thanks to the discovery of an unknown wormhole nearby. But the wormhole leads to the Gamma Quadrant, realm of the feared Dominion alliance, which views the wormhole travelers as a threat to its totalitarian grip on power. As such, the Dominion launches an attack against the Federation and its Klingon allies. The subsequent and ongoing war is the basis for Star Trek: Deep Space Nine…

Capt. Benjamin Sisko (Avery Brooks) is credited with discovering the wormhole, and he oversees the crew of Deep Space Nine as they wage battle to preserve the Federation. Ironically, his colleague, Constable Odo (Rene Auberjonois), is a Changeling - an alien race of “shapeshifters” who lead the Dominion’s united front. Together with the rest of the crew aboard Deep Space Nine, they struggle with internal and external conflicts that threaten to destroy their very way of life…

The Star Trek: Deep Space Nine (Season 3) DVD features a number of exciting episodes including the season premiere “The Search” in which Sisko makes an effort to strike a peace accord with the Dominion. But the peace deal fails when the Defiant is attacked by the Jem’Hadar and the ship is left immobilized. Meanwhile, Kira and Odo are stranded in their spaceship… Other notable episodes from Season 3 include “The Abandoned” in which Odo tries to raise and modify the behavior of an orphaned Jem’Hadar child, and “Visionary” in which exposure to radiation enables O’Brien to travel forward into the future where he envisions a dire future for Deep Space Nine…
