The Last Dragon Overview

By Dwayne Todd

The Last Dragon was a film produced by Motown Records in the mid-eighties, and while it was sort of created as a way to market a few singles, notably Oh Sheila, the film still stands as a pretty good Kung Fu movie, a good comedy, and one of the all time must download movies of the eighties. It's fun, funny, sort of corny and very eighties.

The story follows a young man nicknamed "Bruce Leroy", a Harlem martial artist who teaches Kung Fu to the local kids. He works at his father's pizza place, delivering pies on foot and deals with his rival, Sho'Nuff, the Shogun of Harlem... Yep. Sho'Nuff... The Shogun of Harlem. This incredibly goofy martial arts tale takes place on the real streets of modern day Harlem and creates a really quirky, one of a kind movie.

Sho'Nuff, the Shogun of Harlem, is really a cinematic treasure as far as great film characters go. He tries to egg Bruce Leroy into a fight so that he can prove, once and for all, who the strongest fighter in the city is. Every time he steps on scene, it's with a short speech, aided by his lackeys. "Am I the prettiest?!" "SHO NUFF!" "Am I the baddest?!" "SHO NUFF!" "Am I the meanest, leanest mofo around dis town?!" "SHO NUFF!" "SHO'NUFF! Da Shogun of Harlem!" He wears visor sunglasses, a samurai's hakama (those baggy pants that disguise foot movement), and shoulder pads, as well as a top knot... He looks ridiculous and he's just a joy to behold.

There's a subplot that you probably... Won't take too much interest in. See, Leroy is after the heart of this girl who produces a local music show, and there's this sleazy promoter who's trying to get his girlfriend's new single played on her show. When you see the video, you'll grimace and shudder in embarrassment just for watching it, so... It's funny, but you find yourself wishing they'd just get back to the kung fu already!

But regardless, it is funny, and it does pay off with a big brawl scene at the end when he hires all the meanest guys in the city to attack Bruce Leroy and his students. The end result is a really great rumble scene with Leroy taking on a few dozen hilarious, wild characters before finally beating Sho'Nuff and attaining "The Glow" which is what you call it when they draw a halo of light around your body frame by frame.

Besides the action and jokes, there are also some classic eighties scenes that you couldn't see in any other era, such as Leroy trying to find the man who writes the wise sayings on fortune cookies, only to find that the whole process is automated by a computer that prints them out.

Could the movie have been better without the weird subplot about the record promoter? Sure, but even so, it's one of the all time classic eighties flicks, and one of the best attempts at spoofing the Kung Fu genre while at the same time honoring it. It's also just plain a whole lot of fun.

Next time you want a goofy, fun eighties flick, and you want to see a little kung fu while you're at it, go ahead and give The Last Dragon a download.

A Very Complete Review Of The Movie Fresh

By Jewel Best

Boaz Yakin is typically seen as a work-for-hire writer and director. It's not his fault, he's just a good writer with bills to pay, so he takes a lot of sub-par studio projects that don't really offer him anything interesting to do in the script. So it's weird that a movie like Fresh comes from someone with a track record for mediocrity, but Fresh really is one of the all time must see movie downloads.

Yakin wrote and directed the film after going into exile for some years. He was disillusioned with all the crummy studio work he was getting, all the uninspired, formulaic movies that were really just being made to sell more tickets and put more money in the studio exec's pockets. He decided to leave Hollywood and not to come back until he had something to say. Fresh, then, is certainly saying something.

The movie is named for the titular hero, Fresh, a young boy who works as a drug mule for various dealers around town. Two of which are at war with one another. So how does he keep his head above water when he would certainly be killed if one boss found out about the other? Well the twenty to fifty dollars he makes per run, he hides it in a coffee can by the railroad tracks and... After a couple years of running drugs every day for twenty to fifty bucks a run... That adds up, and the things you can do with that money if you're smart...

Fresh spends one afternoon a week learning to play chess from his father, who is estranged from the rest of the family. These scenes are something like the Greek chorus scenes of the film, with Fresh reflecting on what's been happening and contemplating his next move.

When two of Fresh's friends are murdered by one of the street dealers he works with, and at the same time, his mother informs him that she's going to have to give a couple of them up for adoption, Fresh puts a brilliant scheme into motion.

The plan is complex, but easy to understand after you see the whole thing play out. Fresh's ingenuity is incredible, the way he plays one side against the other, all the while avoiding suspicion simply by virtue of being a child. They never suspect that they've been outwitted by a ten year old. So the question is how long he can keep the facade going, how long it takes to make everything work and free himself of these scumbag's control over his life once and for all.

The movie is, at times, brutally and shockingly violent. This is necessary to drive home the reality of Fresh's situation. He's not in a good place in life, his bosses menace him and threaten him with death at every turn, and he walks a tightrope in order to keep himself alive while at the same time taking down the people who torment him and his friends and family.

The film is truly one of a kind. Clockers runs in a somewhat similar vein, but Fresh is built around a truly unique concept. The movie takes a young child, around ten years old, and pits him against ruthless, violent, sociopath criminals. It's not a children's movie, even though the hero is a child. It is a film about the power of morality and righteousness over compromised morality and cruelty, and truly a fascinating thriller.

True Blood Season 3 - The Minisode

By Rachel Manus

Minisode of two is not much to highlight. Jessica, who is wild and despairing, he still has a good heart and refuses to attack the man who was uncomfortable with his insults. Yes, the next that is, as he likes, pus is seen with intent to sink their fangs. Jessica's character quite like me, and I hope they operated much more in the third season.

Moreover, the third minisode Racked me a little. Do not assume that Bill is kidnapped? "And Eggs was not dead? I do not understand. The only explanation I can find is that that scene is prior to the dinner we saw the end of the second season, and tell us what happened before. Moreover, what of the conversation ... Sookie and Tara was not exceeded and that Sookie leave with a vampire? In short, we need to see what's going on.

Change the subject. One of the new characters of True Blood is Debbie, a psychotic ex of another new character, Alcide. Well, an actress known among the followers of Battlestar Galactica and 24, Katte Sackhoff, has rejected the role, which eventually will be played by Brit Morgan. The reasons? She explains:

"I'm a big fan of True Blood. It's a show phenomenal and Alan Ball is a p ... genius. But I wanted more security than a season of something, so I threw the dice with Boston's Finest. The whole business is about to throw the dice and hope that you made the right decision. I almost do not pick 24 to make my own series on USA Network, and that worked. I'm sure Brit will be fantastic as Debbie. "

Nothing, it is logical that Katee does not want to take a role for one season and want a safer project. Hopefully that goes well with Boston's Finest. In closing, I leave you with three new posters official third season of True Blood, and three others are yet to emerge. It is less for the return!

Paranormal Activity: Should You See It?

By Ronald Bethers

Initially receiving attention at Los Angeles' Screamfest, the small budget independent film entitled Paranormal Activity sat on the shelf for almost two years until Paramount Pictures took the reins and edited the film's conclusion.

Many famous people have interest in this movie. Steven Spielberg is rumored to have assisted in the changes to the final scene.

The film does not feature a large cast. The story focuses on Katie and Micah, a young pair undergoing some relationship strain, but who undoubtedly love and support each other.

They move into a new home in San Diego, which they soon believe to be haunted. Katie later describes that she is a firm believer in the occult and that a poltergeist has been following her around since childhood, and possibly caused the death of her sister.

Her boyfriend Micah has other ideas, and sets about to position his video camera to see if it records any ghost activity in the night.

Eventually, Micah captures some curious and inexplicable activity on video. At that point, he is persuaded of the presence of the poltergeist, which he succeeds in provoking further.

They decide it may be a good idea to enlist the help of a specialist. Unfortunately, the paranormal expert that came to the home said the ghost was to evil for him to help with.

Micah's antagonizing attitude toward the ghost persists, and he goes so far as to try to use a Ouija board to facilitate communication with the ghost. The film's action continues to increase to a startling and frightening crescendo.

This is a very strong effort, albeit in a minor key, and shows how economical you can be with a story line and still keep the audience riveted for ninety minutes.

If you enjoy scary movies this is a must see. Unlike many of the newer scary movies this one will actually scare and entertain you throughout the film.

See Showtime's New TV Hit Series Weeds

By Alexis Snow

For the last ten years, there's been a defining trend in fictional television: Realism. It started with reality television and influenced fictional television before long like Sopranos, and Weeds is definitely one of the funniest in this trend, and certainly belongs on your downloads queue the next time you pay a visit to your tv and movie download service.

The realism trend probably began with shows like Survivor. See, for a time, TV shows were becoming incredibly predictable. You always knew exactly what was gonna happen, you knew every punchline to every joke, it was just the same old stuff time and again, and people just didn't care anymore. It wasn't hard for shows like Survivor and Top Chef to steal viewers away by the thousands.

Along came reality television. Say what you will about it, but it did make some changes. TV producers found that viewers really responded better to more realistic scenarios, more real people. Even if reality shows are staged, even if they can be crass and artless, the fact remains that they use real human emotions and drama to build the whole package, even if that real drama is sometimes twisted around in editing to seem more extreme than it really is.

The first show to adapt and survive in this new television climate was The Sopranos. Twenty years ago, it could have just been some mafia show. See, in Goodfellas, the characters worry about the business, but on The Sopranos, the characters worry about business as well as family, personal finances, their relations with their friends, sex, health, psychological well being and so on. You know, everything we have to worry about in real life.

Weeds follows the same trend and utilizes a great concept: Suburban single mom runs a massive marijuana selling empire. You get an equal mix of great stoner humor, crime storytelling and family drama, and it's always funny.

The show is both real and funny, and full of great characters like The Candyman, actually a woman, a fitness nut who runs a bakery and refuses to sell to anyone who won't promise to exercise regularly to burn off the fat they get from her delicious cupcakes and brownies.

The show follows two primary plot threads: One following the mother's journey in building her criminal empire, and one following her family issues and the local gossip. Watching how the two stories affect one another is always worth a laugh.

Be warned that the show is quite addictive. Each season is really designed as a self contained story, as opposed to each episode, so when you watch one, you'll want to watch the next one right away. Make sure to download a whole season at a time if you really want to enjoy the series. Just be ready to set a few hours aside whenever you want to sit down and watch.

Free Movie Downloads Wil Be Risky For Your Computer

By Charmaine Chan

The internet is full of websites that offer free movie downloads, and yes - it's true you can find just about any movie you want if you look long enough. They can range from cute rated "G" flicks to those you wouldn't want to watch with your grandparents. But you have to be careful - especially these days - in looking for sites that offer the latest and greatest at no cost to you. Sometimes "something for nothing" is nothing you want. So here are a few tips to keep in mind when web surfing, that could save you from experiencing "computer home theater" regret:

Make sure what they're offering is really at no-cost to you: Know the word "free" is used in many contexts in order to lure customers into buying things like movie memberships. A fact that's often concealed until someone has already spent hours searching online before finding a promising site, only to be faced with a mind-numbing membership form that's really a sign-up commitment in disguise. He will get a FREE trial membership - but those few days will cost him three months in advance. At this point, the mentally exhausted person hits "delete" in frustration and gives up, or has to start over.

An easy way to cut down on wasted hours hitting brick walls is to be specific in your keyword selection. Typing in "One hundred percent, no obligation EVER free movie downloads", when looking for the free sites, should turn up the existing few that actually give a person something for nothing.

Expect to be delayed by something at some point - Be aware that once you find an actual free movie website, you still have to find a download link that works. You can expect to run into annoyances like being redirected to a site that costs you money, unavailable pages with error codes, and links that don't take you anywhere.

Know the basics about your operating system - When you do locate a live link to your movie download, you may then be asked to pick the one that corresponds with the operating system your computer is using. It's wise to know at least the name of your OS program, so you don't accidentally choose a download with data your computer can't read that will cause you to miss your movie - and may even crash your system.

Use a portable flash drive - Because of the many viral and hacker threats to computers systems and personal information these days, always use a flash drive to download internet goodies whenever possible, and be sure to scan each of them before viewing what they contain. This is especially important if your computer doesn't already have a good virus counter-attack program installed on it.

If you don't have a flash drive, or access to one, then at least save any downloads to a file folder on your computer's hard drive - and don't open it until it's been scanned for problems.

When you find those sites offering free movie downloads, be aware that they don't always mean "free" in the literal sense. Many an internet surfer has jumped to accept something they thought would cost them nothing, only to find out that they'd be paying for it in more ways than one, somewhere down the road.

A Brief Profile Of The Bodhran

By Douglas Etri

The bodhran is surely an Irish frame drum including 25 to 65 cm in diameter, primarily drums measuring 35 to 45 cm. The edges of the drum are 9 to 20 cm deep. A goatskin head is tacked to one side with synthetic heads, and other animal skins are occasionally used. The other side is open ended for just one hand to be placed from within the drum head to control the pitch and timbre.

A couple of crossbars, at times removable, could be in the body, but this is increasingly rare on contemporary instruments. A few professional modern bodhran players assimilate mechanical tuning systems a lot like those used on drums inside of drum kits. It is generally through an allen wrench the instrument's skins are tightened or loosened with respect to the atmospheric conditions.

There exists evidence that through the Irish rebellion of 1603 where this particular instrument was developed by the Irish forces as a battle drum, in addition to announce the arrival of the army. This leads some to consider that this instrument was produced as a well used Celtic war drum. Sen. Riada declared it to be the native drum on the Celts, having a musical history that predated Christianity.

Third-generation bodhran manufacturer Caramel Tobin feels that this name implies "skin tray"; he additionally proposes a connection with the Irish word bodhor, meaning gentle or dull sounding. One more theory claims its name comes from the very same Irish word bodhar, meaning deaf. A somewhat new introduction to Irish music, this instrument has typically substituted the role of the tambourine. It suggests an additional probable origin for its name from the abbreviation "'bourine".

It is one of the most basic of drums and thus it really is very similar to the frame drums dispersed extensively throughout northern Africa in the Middle East. And yes, it has resemblances in instruments employed by Arabic as well as the musical customs of the Mediterranean region. A more significant likeness can be found in the Iranian daff, and that is certainly utilized by simply the fingers inside an erect placement, without a stick. Traditional skin drums created by some Native individuals are comparable in style with this instrument.

There's a really distinct likeness relating this and Spanish army drums of hundreds of years prior. This suggests the instrument may happen to be presented by the Irish that had served within the Spanish military or obtained understanding of the device coming from Spanish comrades aboard sailing boats.

It has been specifically suggested how the origin of the instrument may be the skin trays found in Ireland to carry peat; the initial version of this instrument could have simply been a skin stretched across a wood frame with virtually no way of attachment.

Peter Kennedy observed much the same instrument in Dorset and Wiltshire inside the 1950s, where it had been known as the "riddle drum", and suggested that instrument might have originated from England.

Dorothea Hast has also said that before the mid-twentieth century the bodhran was mainly used as being a tray for separating chaff, in baking, like a food server, and for storing food or tools. She argues that its use as a guitar was limited to ritual use in rural areas. She claims that as you move the earliest evidence of its use beyond ritual occurs in 1842. Its use like a general instrument did not become widespread prior to the 1960s, when Sen. Riada used it.

Sunset Blvd Is A Fabulous Classic

By Cristina Adams

Sunset Blvd is a classic American film noir filmed in 1950 and a lesson in what refusing to grow old gracefully can result in.

It was directed by Billy Wilder who made many other classic movies and its name provides the basis for its setting. The title is the famous Boulevard in Los Angeles and the playground of the rich and famous movie stars.

Leading actor William Holden plays the hack movie writer and Gloria Swanson stars as Norma Desmond, the aging actress that refuses to give up right until the fatal end.

Holden's character, Joe Gillis is a young writer and when we first meet him he is virtually bankrupt. His car is getting towed away and everyone is hankering after him for debts they want to collect. His encounter with Desmond gives him financial options as she ask him to write a screenplay that will return her to the screen.

Desmond is deluded. She is much older now and the silent movie industry is long gone. Gillis exploits this to his advantage though and moves in to her mansion and her heart. She is in love with him and when she feels him slipping away then she tries to take her life.

Norma Desmond is much older than Joe and she has matured a lot since her screen debut and Hollywood is not kind to old stars. The film company has little interest in starting Desmond's career through the offered screenplay and this does little to propel Joe into the spotlight either.

Joe is writing another script with another actress and he develops an attraction to her. He tells Norma that he is leaving and she prevents this by firing a single shot and killing him dead in her swimming pool.

The famous line arrives at the end with Desmond weaving down the steps and saying; "I'm ready for my close up" sealing her fate and showing how mentally unstable she has become.

This is a tragic movie and reveals the inner darkness and corruption in the film industry. People become dispensable commodities and the film is testament to an actress with a mental illness who cannot accept that her youth and beauty are behind her.

The character of Norma is treated with pity and pathos and although she does ultimately murder Joe, she is shown to be a product of the industry that she inhabits. An industry that eats her up and spits her out.

The servants she has treat her gently and pander to her need to look youthful. In this day and age of botox and plastic surgery the film is an uncomfortable reminder that there are some things that can't be bought.

Ultimately our sympathies lie with Desmond. All her possessions and material wealth can not help her instability and refusal to accept growing old gracefully. Her heartbreak and fear that she has lost her last chance at love lead her to commit the tragic acts that ensue.

Joe, her lover's untimely death, is sad and wasteful, but he represents the exploitative force behind Desmond's demise.

The Movie For A Few Dollars More Reviewed

By Lizzie Copeland

Leone's Dollars Trilogy is without a doubt one of the all time classic series when it comes to all out action, suspense and, well, coolness. The film in the series that is considered a "Great Film" would have to be The Good the Bad and the Ugly, but the absolute coolest of the series is, without a doubt, For a Few Dollars More. Maybe not the best, but certainly the most fun of the entire trilogy, and definitely one to put on your queue the next time you sign into your movie download service.

The movie is just full of neat, fun ideas. We get to see Clint Eastwood walking slowly towards a saloon, in the rain, with one hand hidden, and beating up on a bounty with only one fist. We get to see Lee Van Cleef pulling out a big arsenal of rifles and pistols and piecing them together bit by bit to snipe at a fleeing bad guy. And the villain is probably the strangest and coolest of the series.

He uses a musical pocket watch every time he kills one of his victims. When the music stops, he draws and fires. The story surrounding this watch is interesting, too, forming the heart of the subplot involving Lee Van Cleef.

Lee Van Cleef plays Colonel Mortimer, who was once a Civil War Hero and has since become a bounty hunter. He plays a sort of a paternal role to Clint Eastwood's Man With No Name, teaching him a few things about the craft that he doesn't really know quite yet, while pursuing a somewhat different objective. While The Man With No Name just wants to make a few bucks, Mortimer is hoping to get revenge.

The two have one of the all time best Man Movie bonding scenes, shooting each other's hats off of their respective heads in an effort to impress and intimidate one another.

The music really makes the film, primarily with some scenes revolving around the pocket watch. The simple, twinkly melody it plays is played again in an orchestrated, layered arrangement for the finale, where we have a duel not just with matching pistols, but with matching pocket watches. The tension in this scene is almost tangible, physical in nature.

Leone is without a doubt one of the all time greats, and this is one of his funnest films. It's only too bad that his career was cut short before he could finish Stalingrad, his epic WWII film he had plans to create.

The one thing missing is perhaps Eli Wallach. There aren't really any characters in the film with the depth and complex humanity of Tuco in The Good the Bad and the Ugly, but the film is certainly the most fun film of the trilogy.

It Definitely Pays To Buy A Top HDTV Antenna

By Jeff Smith

There are many good reasons why it will pay for you to go out and purchase a good HDTV antenna. If you already have a HDTV at home and one that has a tuner built into it, then you will get a lot of joy out of purchasing this particular kind of antenna. This is because such an antenna makes it easy for you to view all your favorite local programs in HD without being charged for it.

It is surprising how the purchase of a low cost HDTV antenna can help you enjoy the best of high definition programs. Of course, to receive your free of cost high definition signals, there are certain stipulations that have to be met.

To begin with, you must first ensure that you are located in a part of the country where over the air broadcast signals can be received. Once this is known, then you need to check that your local broadcasters have the ability to send signals in high definition.

It is also important for you to own a good HDTV which must also have a built in ATSC tuner or it should be HD ready and in addition it must also be hooked up to an external receiver. Fortunately, most Americans live in places that can easily receive over the air broadcasts.

If however, your home is situated in a remote rural part of the world, then it is quite possible that that area will not receive over the air broadcasts. But, this can also happen in urban areas where large sized buildings as well as physical objects can block reception of such signals.

Even so, it is good to know that major broadcasting TV stations have the ability to broadcast HD signals. In fact, it is quite rare for these stations to transmit analog signals except of course when they are broadcasting programs during the daytime.

The latest television models are of course equipped to receive HD programming. This means that if you have purchased your HDTV antenna recently, chances are indeed bright that there will not be any real difficulty in receiving HD programs on your set.

Once you have found out that you meet minimum requirements to receive HD programs it is then time for you to go out and buy the right HD antenna. You should also pick the antenna carefully and it should suit your needs and budget. There should not be any problem in finding a good such antenna in a local electronics shop or even at an online shop.

Last but not least, you must then install this antenna in your home. If you already own a cable or even a satellite HD receiver, then you can connect your antenna to this and then receive the free to air HD programs through the receiver.

Why You Should Put Your Band For Hire

By Steve R Jones

Making your band for hire is an excellent way to earn to begin with some useful pocket money or even a full time living depending on how popular you become with your clients. It is also great for bands that become bored or stale from just rehearsing all the time.

But how do you get that first gig? Remember that you're a business, and like any business you need to advertise your services. Going online and googling 'band for hire' will give you many results to look through. You can see how other bands represent themselves, where they go, what they earn, and what songs they play.

It's also a good idea to consider what sort of places are looking for a band for hire. Weddings are popular, and so are clubs, but think about birthday parties, school dances and even corporate events.

Most bands that are for hire normally have their own website or myspace (or similar) account so that people can see what sort of band you are and listen to any music you may have put up.

However, many people looking for a band for hire might not have the time to search through dozens of webpages, and even if they do, they might not find your page. So make some fliers, or put your music on CD or DVD to hand out to people and let them get a taste of your music and what you can do.

Have you also considered using an agent? They do take a percentage of your earning but it may be worth it if they bring your band in gigs.

So, now that you're a band for hire, there's just one last thing to consider. How do you feel about travel? The more cities you play in the more people will be able to hear your music.

The kind of gigs you do will also have an affect on what your band can expect to be paid. Local gigs in pubs will attract the smallest form of revenue but the upside is they provide a good opportunity for any band to test out new songs and are better in some respects than rehearsing as musicians like to play as much as possible.

If you make the choice to travel further afield, you've made a good decision. Any band for hire that is serious about their craft is willing to travel, at least if the money is good. It's always better to play to a bigger venue than a small pub, not only for the better money, but also to get your music heard by as many people as possible.

Make Your Wedding A Real Party With A Party Band

By Lyndsey Seabrook

Music is a large part of everyone's lives and whether or not you consider yourself a fanatic of any particular band; chances are there is music playing in the background of your life. Growing up and going through school some of the most nerve wracking and exciting times of our lives are the school dance. We worry about who we are going to go with, what to wear and when we get there, there is a good chance that some tiny milestone you have a dance will be set to music.

Many times there are songs that define a couple and when you get married, the picking of a song to dance to can be a difficult decision. You don't want something overly trendy and picking something too classic can mean picking something stale. One facet that should never be part of this decision is "we should tell the DJ what we decided." Weddings are a grand occasion and should be treated as such with the renting of a party band.

DJs are everywhere these days and it is a profession that anyone can join with only their laptop and the purchase of a DJ sound kit. It is essentially something that a small child could do and yet many locally famous DJs charge huge amounts of the privelege of having them at your occasion. When it is a wedding, it is the bride and grooms day and no one elses. Why deal with the ego?

That isn't to say that there is no place for the skill set of a DJ, which again, you can easily emulate yourself. House parties and nightclubs are perfectly fine venues for playlists, but weddings need more prestige.

Party bands are already more impressive because they are more than just one person with their laptop, they are a group of highly trained and skilled musicians. With real musicians they can transform the songs you already know into something more amazing.

While some may say that party bands are antiquated and DJs are the way to go, when has it ever been acceptable to outsource our entertainment into the hands of someone whose job we can easily replicate.

Learning instruments and becoming proficient is a lifetime occupation and many musicians, unfortunately, are being cast aside in this technological age but nothing can replace the sound of life instrumentation. Weddings and similar occasions are the perfect venue for a party band.

Prepping for a wedding takes time and about all money, but the price of a band does not have to be sky high and can run anywhere from $500 to $5,000. Whatever price you want to afford you can find a great band to suit your needs and also, they come with all of their own sound and PA equipment, which is not always the case with DJs. Bands are self sufficient.

Don't let some DJ charge you hundreds to thousands of dollars to appear at your wedding and play songs you hear on the radio, instead get a live party band and make your wedding reception as fun as any concert you've ever been to.

Darren Aronofsky Creates Movie Magic With 'The Wrestler'

By Ross Everett

In The Wrestler Darren Aronofsky creates one of the most amazing films in recent memory. That he does so with pro wrestling as a backdrop validates everything that Robert Evans (who produced a couple of little films you may have heard of called The Godfather and Chinatown among many others) says about the necessity of breaking rules to touch magic.

To understand the enormity of Aronofsky's cinematic achievement, its important to consider the less than glorious history of pro wrestling in American film. Perhaps the best film ever made until now with a significant pro wrestling component was 1962s Requiem for a Heavyweight. Adapted from Rod Serlings Playhouse 90 broadcast of the same name Requiem starred Anthony Quinn as an aging boxer who is at the end of his career and the end of his rope. After a final devastating knockout (to a young Muhammad Ali"still Cassius Clay at this point--who plays himself) he turns to the worked environment of pro wrestling out of necessity. The strange moral code of pro wrestling confounds Quinns character (I fought 111 fights and never took a dive") and is at the crux of the films dramatic tension.

While Requiem is a praiseworthy film bolstered by solid performances by Quinn and Jackie Gleason and features a number of prizefighting greats including Muhammad Ali, Willie Pep, Jack Dempsey and Barney Ross it is at its core a boxing film. Pro wrestling is portrayed as the lowest, most humiliating avocation for a boxer. While there are certainly those who share this critical assessment of wrestling, it does little to explain its appeal and enduring popularity.

Pro wrestling has been featured in a lot of other movies"though never well. There have been a few documentaries of merit (Beyond the Mat), some low budget films more interesting for their classic footage than anything else (I Like To Hurt People) and a ton of bad movies of varying degrees of unwatchability. Ill admit to having a soft spot for All the Marbles due to Peter Falk and its portrayal of a bizarro-world sports universe where womens pro wrestling is a big deal, but thats the only other wrestling film worthy of specific mention.

In the starring role of Randy The Ram Robinson, Rourke doesnt just hit the ball out of the park: he turns in a performance that will almost certainly take its place among the greats in film history. Before seeing the film, comparisons that critics were making to Marlon Brando in On the Waterfront, Paul Newman in The Hustler, and Robert DeNiro in Raging Bull seemed somewhat hyperbolic. After watching Rourke firsthand, such lofty comparisons not only seem appropriate but obvious"his performance leaves the viewer at a loss for superlatives. For a wrestling fan, its even more impressive due to his in-ring work. With the exception of a couple of extremely high risk spots, Rourke did all of his own wrestling and took all of the bumps himself. Its unfortunate that the Oscar voters couldnt see past their disdain for the subject matter to give Rourke the Best Actor award he so obviously deserved.

Aronofsky deftly balances both the appeal and revulsion inherent in pro wrestling. He manages to convey the gritty reality of life at the lower levels of the profession but also the appeal of pro wrestling"why men like The Ram put themselves through hell to stay involved and why hardcore fans care so much. The Wrestler succeeds on both levels, which likely accounts for the effusive praise it has garnered from film geeks who wouldnt know a headlock from a padlock as well as pro wrestling enthusiasts.

Aronofsky and Rourke manage to convey the lure and revulsion that is unique to pro wrestling and simultaneously extrapolate them to much larger truths about human existence. It simultaneously depicts pro wrestling at its best and worst and gets them both right. By putting in the 'due diligence' to get the pro wrestling backdrop right, the film allows the brilliance of Rourke's performance and the deeper thematic significance of his conflicts to shine through.

Easier Ways To Download Salt Of This Sea Movie For Free

By Paula Brown

With technology constantly evolving, so too has the expectations of how quickly things should be available. I. S. P. Download speeds are constantly increasing as the demand for more, quicker rises. With this in mind it is becoming increasingly more common for people to Download Salt Of This Sea Movie Free Online. The movie industry no longer has a choice but to catch up to the technology.

Downloading movies is constantly getting easier with so many sources popping up, both legal and not. Torrent websites, distributors and even movie rental websites are getting in on instantly providing movies and because internet is available on almost any device including cell phones, as long as the device has the ability to surf to a providers website, download content and play that particular format of file, movies can be viewed almost anywhere at any time.

Torrent sites and peer to peer networks are the most common sources and perhaps one of the fastest sources to get files from because multiple users host the file and allow for much faster speeds by doing so. However these networks are not the only ones offering downloads. Various distributors are offering digital downloads with the purchase of blu-ray DVDs. Movie rental sites that once used to rely on snail mail to send DVDs back and forth are also now able to offer the same movies as an online stream that is instantly available.

Along with being able to instantly watch a movie, downloading films is good for the environment as well. Since less DVD cases, discs, covers and paper inserts need to be created for movie distribution, less resources are wasted in the mass production of the physical DVD. This not only reduces the cost of distributing the DVD but also reduces the amount of resources wasted.

However, everything that has good aspects also has some negative ones. While it is possible to download movies, the bonus features and extra content is not downloaded. Those who enjoy these extra perks like deleted scenes, commentaries or bloopers will not be able to take advantage of them. The device the movie is downloaded onto will also be the only device that has the movie and in the case of rented movies, it will only be available to stream online.If there is a problem with the internet or computer, then the movie will not be viewable. This is almost never the case with DVDs.

With the constant evolution of the internet, it is only a matter of time before the preferred method of movie watching will be on the computer or hand held device. Those who enjoy going to the movie rental store and browsing through a seemingly endless collection of movies will soon no longer be able to do so. However with the cost of releasing a film being so high, this increasingly popular method of viewing movies works well for independent and low budget filmmakers. Since the cost of distributing a movie is so high, it is what keeps a lot of filmmakers from ever having their work seen on a global level. This method allows the cost of the physical distribution to go to nothing.

VODO, otherwise known as Voluntary Donations, is a fairly new program and movement that focuses on changing the way movies get distributed and viewed. It takes advantage of the internet and both peer to peer and torrent networks, using their bandwidth sharing technology and platform to legally distribute movies made for this platform. If viewers choose to, they can make a donation to support the filmmaker. Movements such as VODO benefit and cut costs for both filmmakers and the viewers, and this is what is slowly changing the movie industry.

To Download Salt Of This Sea Movie Free Online has never been easier. As bandwidth and internet speeds increase, so does the demand and so does the network the torrent and peer to peer network sites use. This technology revolution shows no sign of slowing down anytime soon.

Movies And MP3

Movies and MP3 files are already compressed with near maximum capacity. Repacking them would just create larger files and increase decompression time. Ripped movies are still packaged due to the large file size, but compression is disallowed and the RAR format is used only as a container. Because of this, modern playback software can easily play a release directly from the packaged files, and even stream it as the release is downloaded (if the network is fast enough).

MP3 and music video releases are an exception in that they are not packaged into a single archive like almost all other sections. These releases have content that is not further compressible without loss of quality, but also have small enough files that they can be transferred reliably without breaking them up. Since these releases rarely have large numbers of files, leaving them unpackaged is more convenient and allows for easier scripting. For example, scripts can read ID3 information from MP3s and sort releases based on those contents.
