The Top 5 Boxing Movies Ever Made

Wednesday, August 19th, 2009

The Cinderella Man stars a wonderful cast of actors, including: Russell Crowe, Renée Zellweger, Paul Giamatti, Craig Bierko and is directed by Ron Howard in this excellent heart wrenching underdog boxing movie that was set in 1930 U.S. during The Great Depression.
It was during the darkest years of the Depression, when James Braddock (Russell Crowe), a onetime successful boxer loses all his lifetime savings and possessions with the crash of the stock market. Braddock was forced into early retirement from boxing after a string of loses. Now with the depression on in full force, Jim must work several worthless low paying jobs to try and keep his lovely wife Mae Braddock (Renée Zellweger) and their three children from starving and freezing due to lack of heating. In 1934, Braddock’s manager and coach Joe Gould gives him a chance to resume his once promising and successful boxing career. Due to a late cancellation, Jim gets an opportunity to fight the number two ranked contender in the world. Not only does he accept the challenge, but he wins the fight. He soon becomes the symbol for hope for a nation full of hopeless people in a ruined nation. The great storyline and wonderful acting puts the Cinderella Man at second on our list of the Top Five Boxing Movies of All Time.

Who are the First Doctor and the Second Doctor?

Saturday, February 28th, 2009

Doctor Who today is more popular than ever before, but what about its history? The second Doctor, Patrick Troughton broke new ground back in the mid 1960s when he had to take over from William Hartnell, the first Doctor.
It’s hard to imagine today what the reaction must have been when the main character of the popular show transformed in front of their eyes into a different person, but Troughton was the right one to cast and the show continued for another twenty years. Doctor Who fans everywhere can be happy with the new success of the revived series, but it was the work of the first and second Doctor who set the stage for everything that came later.

Clark Gable And Carole Lombard – Hollywood’s Sweethearts

Thursday, January 10th, 2008

Clark Gable’s third and most famous marriage was to the beautiful Hollywood actress Carole Lombard. To this day, Clark Gable and Carole Lombard are still considered Hollywood’s most famous couple ever. In January of 1942 tragedy would turn Clark Gable’s world upside down. The plane that Carole Lombard and Carole’s mother were flying in crashed into Nevada’s Table Rock Mountain. Sadly, they both lost their lives. After serving in the Army Corps during WWII, Clark Gable would come home from Europe to resume his Hollywood acting career. In 1949, roughly 7 years after the death of Carole Lombard, Clark Gable married the widow of the famed Hollywood actor, Douglas Fairbanks. Sylvia Ashley would become his forth wife, but like his first two marriages, it would end in divorce after only 3 years.

Tony Romo And Jessica Simpson

Tuesday, December 18th, 2007

So the Cowboys lost to the Eagles and people are blaming it on Jessica Simpson? Do you really think Tony Romo had a bad game because she was wearing a pink and white Tony Romo Cowboys jersey? Get real. Tony R. is a professional and a damn good quarterback.

Remember, Jessica was at the Green Bay and NY Jets game. The Cowboys, and Tony Romo in particular, dominated that game. As quarterback of the Dallas Cowboys Tony Romo has put up numbers that Roger Staubach, Danny White and Troy Aikman never could.

Don’t doubt Tony Romo (Jessica Simpson doesn’t).

Memoirs of a Geisha

Monday, July 2nd, 2007

The inspiring, thrilling story of Arthur Golden’s “Memoirs of a Geisha” is beautifully brought to life in Columbia Pictures’ rendition of the tumultuous tale. This movie tells the heart-wrenching story of the poor Sayuri, who is sold by her impoverished father as a young child into a geisha house.

Indiana Jones DVD

Saturday, June 30th, 2007
Will There Be A Forth Indiana Jones DVD
Indiana Jones is unquestionably the greatest action hero in films and on dvd. Indiana Jones, played by actor Harrison Ford, was first introduced in the 1981 film Raiders of the Lost Ark. Indiana Jones is modeled after the square-jawed heroes of the pulp magazines and matinée serials such as Doc Savage. Director Steven Spielberg grew up watching the cliffhanging matinee adventures at his local movie house and wanted to re-create them in his trilogy of films featuring an archeology professor. The three movies, all available as an Indiana Jones dvd were big hits with audiences. Harrison Ford, in the lead role in the films, never lost his fedora hat and bullwhipped his way into action around the world, not content to stay in the museum.  The movies were co-produced by George Lucas, a friend of Spielberg and the man behind Star Wars. The franchise is set to return in 2008 with a fourth movie, starring Ford again.
Snakes! Why Did It Have To Be Snakes!
It all began in 1981 with Raiders of the Lost Ark. Ford is in a race with Nazis to find the Ark of the Covenant. It also featured Paul Freeman and Alfred Molina. This was followed three years later with Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom, when Ford searches for a mystical stone. This Indiana Jones dvd and film features Kate Capshaw and Amrish Puri.

Actor Alec Baldwin, embarrassed by a ranting phone message to his daughter that surfaced on the Internet, has asked to be freed from his TV show to spend more time with family, a person close to the situation said on Wednesday.

Baldwin, 49, who stars as a venal, egocentric television executive on NBC’s popular comedy “30 Rock,” revealed his request for early release while taping a guest appearance for Friday on ABC’s daytime talk show “The View.”

His comments were not made public in advance but CNN Headline News reported them and a source close to the situation confirmed his remarks to Reuters.

Celebrity Homes

Wednesday, April 11th, 2007

Most of us are obsessed with celebrities these days. We want to know what they wear, where they go, whom they are with and where they live. Celebrity homes are a good insight into the lavish lifestyle that celebrities live. If there is some controversy attached to the star, then we are even more fascinated.
There are a lot of companies that run bus tours around Hollywood and districts of Los Angeles such as Beverley Hills, Bel-Air and the Sunset Strip. It’s a chance to see some of the jaw-dropping mansions of the rich and famous. Sometimes, the passengers only get to see a gated entrance, a high wall and security cameras but it’s still a thrill. Some of the celebrity homes go back to the golden age of Hollywood in the 1930s and 1940s. Movie stars back then were American royalty and they held court in their palaces. We are a bit more irreverent now in our fan worship.

The Tradegy And Comedy Of William Shakespeare

Thursday, March 29th, 2007

It is believed that Shakespeare produced most of his work between 1586 and 1612, although the exact dates and chronology of the plays attributed to him are under considerable debate, as is the authorship of the works attributed to him. He is counted among the very few playwrights who have excelled in both tragedy and comedy, and his plays combine popular appeal with complex characterisation, poetic grandeur and philosophical depth…..read more at The Tradegy And Comedy Of William Shakespeare

Acting Workshop

Wednesday, March 21st, 2007

Have you ever considered a career in Hollywood? This seems to be that field that everyone ponders at one time or another in their lives. I think it stems from watching films more than anything. I know oodles of people rant and rave about how great it would be to have millions of dollars and everybody worshiping the ground you walk on. However, I think when it comes down to it, it’s the escapism aspect that reigns supreme. Who wouldn’t want to play a super hero for a few months? Who wouldn’t want to delve into the life and character of a vicious villain? This would be an utter blast.

Blockbuster Movie

Wednesday, March 14th, 2007

When was the last time you went to see a movie?  The blockbuster movie is what keeps the major studios going. Big budget entertainment for the masses is their lifeblood. The multi screen cinema complexes also need them. It’s what keeps the popcorn popping.

Big budget means high risk and a blockbuster movie box office failure could even bring a studio to it’s knees. Failures are pretty rare though, as studios and directors have a good grasp of what the audiences want. The consensus is that if $200 million worth of tickets are sold in the US, then you can define a film as a blockbuster movie.

Do you have a favorite celebrity?

Wednesday, March 14th, 2007

Do you have a favorite celebrity?  Alec Baldwin is a famous America actor, producer, and director.  He is the oldest and most famous of the ‘Baldwin brothers’, his younger brothers Daniel, Stephen, and William are all well known actors as well.  Okay, so the most obvious choice is the classic Marilyn Monroe picture where she is standing over the subway grate blowing cool air up her sexy dress on a hot city day—in the movie, The Seven Year Itch.  My friend has a Britney Spears poster in his bedroom.  In this poster, she is wearing a cap, doing a semi-wink at her viewer, has a crop top on to expose or reveal her naval piercing, and is quite voluptuous for the rails that usually top the fashion and celebrity charts.�

How to write a movie script

Monday, March 12th, 2007

Instead of producing original, creative films that I actually want to see, it appears that most studios are content to churn out sequels and remakes. I can’t tell you how many times I’ve walked out of a theater shaking my head in disappointment at what I just saw and telling myself that I could do better than that if only I could learn the basics about how to write a movie script. The fact that the big studios consistently choose to produce rehashed material makes me think that perhaps they don’t have a towering stack of quality screenplays at their fingertips.

Celebrity Cellulite, How the Stars Get Fit

Wednesday, February 21st, 2007

Unattractive, cellulite is dimpled fat that collects on the hips, thighs and buttocks of many women. With no discrimination between the fat and thin or the rich and poor, it strikes at anyone from adolescent age or older. Cellulite is caused by the storage of fat underneath fibrous connective tissue called septae that bears a honeycomb shape. When the fat bulges through the septae, the dimpling underneath the skin occurs. Celebrity cellulite, magazine covers and tabloid issues have been devoted to this prevalent problem. That’s right — even the richest and most beautiful women cannot escape the horrors of cellulite…

Tuesday, February 6th, 2007

I felt bad for a buddy of mine who pursued an entertainment job diligently, but came up with nothing. He swears it’s his image. He looks nothing like the typical handsome leading man. To be completely frank, this will hurt anyone searching for an entertainment job. Well, if it’s in acting anyway. Hollywood is always searching for the next talented pretty face. If you’re not up-to-par in the image category, you’ve got a major strike against you.

Lookalikes

Tuesday, January 16th, 2007

In today’s day and age there are tons of people who want to look like celebrities. Not only do these people decide to dress and act like their favorite celebrity, but of course they want to look the same way as well. These lookalikes are not uncommon, and you have probably seen them on television at least once or twice. In fact, there have been several television programs dedicated to celebrity lookalikes.  It is quite interesting to see how so many people can make themselves look like another person.

If you want to be a celebrity lookalike you are going to have to put in a lot of work and in many cases a lot of money as well. The first step that you will have to take is learning everything about the celebrity who you are interested in. Take notes on how they dress, how they act, and of course what they look like. When considering physical features you should look at every last detail from facial features down to the feet. After all, the more detail that you can copy the more you will look like your favorite celebrity.

There are two types of lookalikes in the world today. There are the people who naturally look like celebrities and only do a bit of work to cap things off, and then there are those people who work on their body in order to achieve the results they are after. This means that they will eat less if they have to, and even get plastic surgery if it is a must. While there is nothing wrong with this, make sure that you know what you are doing before you get in too deep. In other words, do you want to be a celebrity lookalike for the rest of your life?

Believe it or not there are lookalikes agencies that are becoming quite popular.  These agencies specialize in finding celebrity lookalikes, and then booking them on jobs that suits their needs. This may not seem like a very big industry, but it is actually picking up a lot of steam. This all goes back to the sheer volume of people who are obsessed with celebrities and what they are doing on a daily basis.  

If you think that you look like a certain celebrity it may be in your best interest to get in touch with a lookalike agency. They will be able to give you an honest assessment, and if good enough you may be able to begin booking jobs.  Many people work very hard to tweak their look so that they can become one of the featured lookalikes at an agency.

With so many people interested in the way that celebrities look, it is easy to see why so many lookalikes are popping up all over the world.  As more and more lookalike agencies are established, this industry is only going to get stronger. In turn this will lead to a lot of newcomers trying their hand as a celebrity lookalike.
