Next Tuesday, MTV debuts its newest docudrama: Jersey Shore , which follows a group of men and women on vacation in Seaside Heights, New Jersey. MTV's announcement of the show told viewers, "Grab your hair gel, wax that Cadillac and get those tattooed biceps ready to fist pump with the best this summer at the Jersey Shore." In other words, get ready for some stereotypes. As a result, the...
Oh how we love the holiday season -- no, not because we just love to argue with our family over a meal, but because it's the best time of the year for movie lovers who would rather watch HD movies at home then to trek out to the theater. And so the season continues with Angels & Demons which is the latest Dan Brown inspired movie. We haven't seen this movie yet, but our eyes were rolling pretty...

I find myself becoming mildly obsessed with this Pink Floyd song. It's extremely well known - probably their best-known song in fact, up there in best plank-spanking polls and so on - but flew way under my radar when it was first released in 1970; although the hippy living in the flat beneath mine back in Bristol had it on constant replay I was so not into the whole concept album thing back then, and...

Too bad, I thought, since it had won the Grand Prix at Cannes—one of the few awards I put some stock in—earlier that year. It has been MIA on home video for quite a long time, relatively speaking. But tomorrow it debuts on Criterion DVD and Blu-ray, as part of a larger distribution deal between...
The Beatles, Stones, Zeppelin, and Pink Floyd. The Sopranos, Seinfeld, The Simpsons, and The Wire. Cobb, Ruth, Williams, and Mantle. Feliz, Perez, Scheppers, and Smoak. How you rank each list is based more on personal taste than upon clear differences in worth. We expect that you will likely have an opinion that differs from our consensus for the Rangers' Big Four. And five years from now, we might...

I'm never been a big fan of the daytime soap opera, General Hospital , not even during its Luke and Laura glory days in the early '80s. Back then I was watching Meg Ryan and Dana Delany on As the World Turns , which was a far more traditional drama (i.e. there weren't any bizarre sci-fi stories like GH's evil Mikkos Cassadine placing the town of Port Charles under a deep freeze in order to achieve...
Secondly, you need to be cautious with the so-called expense-free downloading websites. Although the masses tend to find the free files very attractive, there are various downsides to this. Some of the problems include the small file sizes and unimpressive picture quality for the videos.
