Payday loans are an interesting subject. There are a number of companies that are currently conducting business that are not fully on the level. Whether it be through providing the individuals that use these websites with horrible loan offers or high repayment packages, it becomes incredibly hard to find a company that is more or less on the level. To find one, I went through a number of distinct searches…
There are a number of distinct websites on which individuals can purchase iphone ringtones. What they have available is really up to the web sites themselves. For example, we have seen websites that proffer rap ringtones just as often as those that deal with rock or punk tracks. However, I find myself a fan of those websites that provide individuals with a large array of clips from movies. Just to…
There are a number of different casino sites, those that are actual casinos and those that provide reviews of the different online casinos. I feel that a great many of the review sites are a little bit on the shady side, so I have spent a considerable amount of time trying to find the best possible site. I bel;ieve that we have found just that. This website has all the…
Many viewers are familiar with the bald eagle, but I believe that few outside of those that have actively studied the area will be familiar with the harpy eagles. These eagles are some of the most vicious birds currently in existence, with a huge wingspan (6 feet) and claws that rival even a black bear’s in size. Fergus Beeley is a hell of a documentarian, setting eirself (and crew) down…
Rake is a tremendously hilarious show; what House did for medical dramas, Rake has done for law shows. Richard Roxburgh (Moulin Rouge) is Cleaver Greene, a judge that straddles the line between genius and insane. The rapport that ey has with the different elements of the city showcases that ey knows what is best for the area. Where Greene is rough around the edges, ey truly has a heart of…
While Christian Bale is the name in The Flowers of War, I feel that the cast add considerably to the gravity of the film. For those that missed its original theatrical engagement, The Flowers of War is a historical drama set in mid-thirties Nanjing (China). Focusing on the atrocities committed during the second Sino-Japanese war, the film follows a rag-tag group of individuals that are struggling to stay alive.…
Alambrista is a perfectly rare bit of film that has been given additional life through its inclusion in the Criterion Collection. This Ned Beatty-led film is focused on the plight of the migrant worker. Robert M. Young’s direction is able to convey the utter hopelessness of the situation. The transferring of the narration back and forth between Spanish and English shows the duality of the lives in which these…
Bullhead is a film that possesses an utterly untouchable plot, one in which cattle owner Jacky (Mattias Schoenaerts) ties eirself into the mafia through down and dirty dealings. There is substantial plot progression to be had during Bullhead, as viewers will learn about Jacky’s past and present, while the ramifications for eir future rapidly turn into a noose. Each of the characters that are present in Bullhead have their…
Breaking Bad, Mad Men and The Walking Dead may have collected the most coverage over the past few years for AMC, but the upstart Hell on Wheels proves just as worthy of praise. The series is set in 1865 in a tent city sprung up around construction of the first transcontinental Railroad. The first season focuses on the quiet, tough former Confederate soldier who takes a job with the crew…
For years I’ve been calling BS on the use of the term “realty” in this series about Kiss founder Gene Simmons, his longtime companion Shannon Tweed and their two college-aged kids. It was pretty obvious – while their show Family Jewels was/is genuinely entertaining – a lot of the situations in pervious episodes were clearly staged and came off as contrived. That being said they were always pretty innocuous and…
Elvira’s Movie Macabre was a show that originally ran on THIS network and provided viewers with some of the world cheesiest films. Entertainment One has released the various episodes of this show in thematically-related DVD. Wild Women is a two-disc set that contains Untamed Women, The Wild Women of Wongo, Hercules and the Captive Women, and The Wasp Women. With two movies that never had an aired Elvira treatment,…
Michael is one messed up type of film. This film surrounds the titular character, who is currently holding a prepubescent child in eir basement. This is a far cry from eir life as an insurance salesman. The time period captured in this film is substantial – five months in total – and the relationship between Michael and Wolfgang (David Rauchenberger) is explored in considerable detail. The pedophilic relationship between…
Lancelot Link, Secret Chimp is one of those shows that came out of left field. Lancelot Link was created by Mike Marmer and Stan Burns, which had runs on both The Carol Burnett Show and Get Smart. The link to Get Smart would be the greatest influence on Lancelot Link, as the C.H.U.M.P. (Criminal Headquarters for the Underworld’s Master Plan) went up against the valiant APE. The show had…
Few shows have the gas in their tank to make it through five seasons. I believe that Burn Notice is one of the few shows that look no worse for wear at the five-season mark. Fox has just released their DVD set for the fifth season, ensuring that fans can keep up to date. This season begins with Weston getting eir position back at the CIA, a move which…
There is a great deal of snake oil that is being packaged and sold as self-help. Meschino Optimal Living Program avoids these pitfalls and provides viewers with a solid foundation. In doing so, they can actually see change in their lives. I believe that the actual application of better fitness, diet, and an exercise regimen moves viewers away from the more mental and psychological changes that are prescribed by…
The sheer amount of additions that are provided to viewers with this edition of The Muppets are substantial. Making sure that this is not just the feature, the inclusion of the full soundtrack on the digital copy disc will ensure that viewers can rock out. There are a number of fake movie trailers that involve the Muppets, while they further shake up a camera test with everyone’s favorite felt creations.…
Phineas & Ferb: The Perry Files is a collection of the various P&F episodes that focus on everyone’s favorite penguin, Perry. This creates a solid DVD that allows parents to sit back and take it easy; Disney has added a few extra googahs to this DVD release to keep children happy. This means that viewers will be taken in to the world of the OWCA (Organization Without A Cool…
Teen Spirit is a film that focuses on the machinations of Amber Pollock (Cassie Scerbo, of Make It or Break It) in eir desire to become the prom queen. Connected at all points through eir high school career, Pollock finds eirself unable to reach out to those that ey originally associated with. Turned into an apparition, Pollock wants to receive the accolades that were unavailable to eir during eir…
The rivalry that was present between the Hatfields & McCoys has been the subject of countless different television shows and articles in the last few decades. However, there has not been the attention to detail or sheer scope captured in the same way as it has during Hatfields & McCoys: Bad Blood. This film sticks well to the time period in which it is set, and benefits considerably from a…
Vampires: check; Werewolves and Werepathers: check; Shape shifters and Fairies: Check. The only supernatural group really missing from True Blood was witches and season four trots them out en mass. Since 2008, Alan Ball and his team of writers have been upping the ante on what to expect from this Vampire soap opera. A slew of imitators have come and gone over the years, but True Blood continues to…
