Finding The Right Films To Enjoy At Valentine’s Day

Juliet — Mon, 08 Feb 2010 09:55:59 +0000

Choosing the right films to observe with the one you love for Valentine's Day can often be a little bit of a struggle. What to decide on? There are unforgettable titles like Casablanca, Brief Encounter, or any amount of romantic comedies which a lot of folk could see as being perfect viewing for Valentine's Day, but these items may not be the movies that you and your particular other half will go for.

The cheat in choosing the right movies for enjoying a romantic Valentine's Day night in with your loved one, is to select perhaps 2 movies that the 2 of you can take pleasure in as a couple. They don't need to be romantic movies, they may be comedies, horror movies, action adventure movies, just about anything as long as there's a link there for the two of you and your shared relationship.

How about something that came out when you initially got together with your partner? How about something currently out that has a corresponding theme to the circumstances in which you got together? Sometimes it can be a lovely thing to revisit the 1st film you saw together. While viewing it you can take pleasure in a bottle of wine as a couple, and reminisce about those initial days of your connection and how far you have come since that point.

If there is something acceptable on at the cinema at the moment, then by every means go along and see that instead on Valentine's Day with your beloved one, but seriously, for that special Valentine's Day feeling, it may well be a better idea to indulge in a movie at home. That way you have privacy, and you can take pleasure in Food & Drink while the movie is on, and truly indulge in one another's company.

The main issue is to recollect which both of you may savour the movie, so don't just get something which one of you can get the benefit of. Valentine's Day is a period of sharing and acknowledging your serious other, and with the appropriate romantic movies to observe on Valentine's Day, you may be certain of an evening the two of you will savour for a very long time to come. The best movies to look at on Valentine's Day, very similar to the most suitable Valentine's Day gift ideas, are those which actually take under consideration the likes and dislikes of both partners.

Eastbound & Down: The Complete First Season

Juliet — Thu, 21 Jan 2010 18:43:43 +0000

Stepping up to the plate in this six-episode HBO series, comedy's newest It Boy, Danny McBride (The Foot Fist Way, Pineapple Express, Tropic Thunder), hits it out of the park as Kenny Powers, a former baseball phenom, who, after spending his millions and burning all bridges, returns to his high school to teach physical education. The delusional Powers (he still wears a mullet!) insists that he will return to the majors. Until then, he makes a play for his former high school flame (Katy Mixon), now an art teacher who is engaged to the boring, by-the-book principal (Andrew Daly). He runs roughshod over his brother and his disapproving wife (John Hawkes and Jennifer Irwin), who allow Powers to live with them and their children. He lures the idolizing nerdy band teacher to the dark side. Eastbound and Down has an odd sense of humor. To say that the foul-mouthed, substance-abusing Powers is "inappropriate" is an understatement. He makes Billy Bob Thornton's Bad Santa look like Edmund Gwenn in Miracle on 34th Street). When one of his students repeats his father's claim that Powers ruined baseball, Powers tells the class, "Anybody want to pick on anybody in class, aim for him, because I ain't watching." Eastbound and Down benefits from some big league talent. Will Ferrell, who helped get The Foot Fist Way into theatres, appears as a car salesman who wants to exploit what's left of Powers' celebrity with predictably disastrous results. Episodes were directed by McBride collaborator Jody Hill (Observe and Report), David Gordon Green (Superbad), and Ferrell's partner in comedy, Adam McKay (Talladega Nights, Anchorman). There are other obnoxious characters on television, but Kenny Powers is in a league of his own, and he may take some warming up to. But McBride imbues this extreme character with an uncompromised integrity that is oddly admirable. Despite what his brother tells him at one point, Powers is someone you like being around. --Donald LiebensonStills from Eastbound and Down- The Complete First Season (click for larger image)

Sports Night: The Complete Series 10th Anniversary Edition

Juliet — Mon, 18 Jan 2010 18:06:26 +0000

With breakout and memorable performances by Josh Charles (In Treatment), Robert Guillaume (Benson), Felicity Huffman (Desperate Housewives), Peter Krause (Six Feet Under), Sabrina Lloyd (Sliders) and Joshua Malina (The West Wing), this was writer/producer Aaron Sorkin's (A Few Good Men , The American President) first television series. And it was director Thomas Schlamme's first collaboration with Sorkin. The pair, who would continue to click brilliantly with The West Wing and Studio 60 On the Sunset Strip, may not have known it at the time, but with Sports Night they defined a new style and raised the bar for all television programs to follow. Critically acclaimed when it debuted on ABC in 1998, Sports Nigh was an innovative half-hour program about a team of funny, smart and likeable people who put on a daily live sports cable newscast, much like ESPN's SportsCenter. They are a group of consummate professionals whose personal lives operate in apparent chaos, communicating every uncensored thought and feeling through a libretto of witty and honest chatter over the hum of the separate-but-integrated live show-within-the-show. 10th Anniversary Special Features: *The Show: An in-depth look back at Sports Night with creator/writer Aaron Sorkin, directors Thomas Schlamme and Robert Berlinger, cast members Felicity Huffman, Peter Krause, Josh Charles, Joshua Malina, and Robert Guillaume, Emmy(r) award-winning editor Janet Ashikaga, Emmy(r) award-winning director of photography Peter Smokler, producer John Amodeo, and set designer Thomas Azzari. Includes never-before-seen behind-the-scenes home movies shot by John Amodeo. *Face Off: ESPN's SportsCenter vs. CSC's Sports Night - Sports Night's real-life ESPN counterparts discuss what the series got right and wrong. *A Conversation with Aaron Sorkin and Thomas Schlamme *Inside The Locker Room - A look at the innovations of Sports Night with Aaron Sorkin, Thomas Schlamme, Robert Berlinger, Janet Ashikaga, Peter Smokler, John Amodeo, and Thomas Azzari. *Season Gag Reels *8 Episode Commentaries including creator/writer Aaron Sorkin, director/executive producer Thomas Schlamme, director Robert Berlinger, editor Janet Ashikaga, and cast members Peter Krause, Josh Charles, Joshua Malina, Sabrina Lloyd, Greg Baker, Kayla Blake, Timothy Davis-Reed, and Ron Ostrow. *Original Promos *36-Page Booklet including an introduction by creator Aaron Sorkin
