Power Movies For The Guys

By Hollie Pugh

It wasn't that long ago that a trip to the corner video shop was the most convenient way to get a movie. Now, with internet usage exploding, movie downloads are becoming very popular. Let's look at what you might find to watch using a movie download site.

Austin Powers In Goldmember: Austin is back, and this time he faces not only Dr. Evil, but also a new threat in Goldmember. Dr. Evil is traveling through, and Austin is on the chase. He must save his father Nigel from being captured by Dr. Evil.

Night of the Generals: A WW2 whodunit, movie has potential although gets lost in gloomy script, and inanimate behaviors. It is simply a dud. Cast includes Peter O'Toole, Omar Sharif, Tom Courtenay, Donald Pleasence, Joanna Pettet, and Christopher Plummer. (148 minutes, 1967)

Across the Pacific: This is a WWII spy film which leads us to Panama as two spies engage in a cat and mouse chase. Humphrey Bogart, Mary Astor, Sydney Greenstreet, and Victor Sen Y ung head the cast. (1942 Spy-Drama directed by John Huston)

Fool for Love: Sheppard's assessment of 2 ex-lovers who find that they are inextricably stuck together. The tough part is is creating some interest in these characters. Cast includes Sam Shepard, Kim Basinger, Harty Dean Stanton, and Randy Quaid. (106 minutes, 1985)

AL Capone: Excellent newer-night gangster biography with Steiger ranting as Scar-faced Capone; excellent aiding cast, bringing back the nostalgia of Cagney-Robinson-Bogart films of the '30s. Cast includes Pole Steiger, Fay Spain, James Gregory, Martin Balsam, Nehemiah Persoff, and Mervyn Vye. (105 minutes, 1959)

Alexander: Lumbering historical myth in regards to the life of Alexander the Awesome, as dictated some years after his downfall by Ptolemy. Try to investigate the numerous clashes-from the minute of his birth onward-that conditioned this fabled fighter sheds extremely little light and makes one wish the elephants who assault in a climactic scene could do their poorest. Only Jolie, as Alexander's mom, Olympians, brings some kindle to the film. This is possibly the first Oliver Rock film one could frankly explain as uninteresting. Cast includes Colin Farrell, Angelina Jolie, Val Kilmer, Christopher Plummer, Jared Leto, and Tim Smith. (175 minutes, 2004)

Alex and The Gypsy: Roaming tale of romance between bail bondsman Lemmon and gypsy Bujold who's implicated of tried murder. Some fascinating notions lost in the mess of an indecisive film. Cast includes Jack Lemmon, Genevieve Bujold, James Woods, Gino Ardito, Robert Emhardt, and Titos Vandis. (99 minutes, 1976)

Class Action: Jeb Ward is an attorney specializing in class action cases. He is taking the case of a man suing a big auto company for a safety issue, which has had a huge affect on the man's life since his accident. To spice things up, the defense team will be led by his daughter.

Patriot Games: Retired CIA analyst Jack Ryan is vacationing in England when, by complete chance, he finds himself saving a significant member of the Royal Family from an assassination attempt. In the process Jack kills one of the key terrorists younger brothers. Now this faction of the IRA is out to get Jack and his family. Jack Ryan is now out of retirement.

For file downloads use a phrase like "Films Download". If that phrase gets you nowhere, try another phrase. "Movie Rental Download" would be worth a try. - 18423

Do Legal Movie Downloads Exist?

By Alan Reynolds

Finding legal movie downloads is a very difficult task and anyone who has attempted to find legal downloads will no doubt realise that this is the case. However, any search in any of the popular search engines yields a great deal of results on the subject. Unfortunately, many of these results are very questionable.

Of course, you can easily by movies online and get them delivered to you by the mail but this takes time and can cost significantly more. Nonetheless, it is a viable alternative to going into a high street store and spending more money are not being able to get what you want any way which is often the case, particularly if you want an older movie or something that is lesser known.

Many other people use peer to peer file sharing programs which is completely legal. Downloading pirated videos via the use file sharing programs, they free, could end up getting you into a lot of trouble as many companies and authorities are starting to crack down very heavily on pirated movies.

What's more, the quality of pirated movies tends to be very questionable. Very few of these have high quality sound, with no possibility to play back in multi channel, as any DVD was meant to be played. What's more, it is also very difficult to get the latest high definition content.

A far better option than going to the high street stores, especially if you want something a little harder to get, is by using one of the online retailers. These retailers tend to have enormous databases of movies available which you can order and get sent you a few days. It is often cheaper as well since the companies in question do not have to maintain stores and often you can get third party sellers or second-hand sellers and save even more money.

Unfortunately, the situation doesn't seem that is going to change any time soon, at least not until the movie companies get their act together and start realising the one of the primary reasons that people download pirated movies is not so much because they don't want to pay for them, but because they don't want to wait for them or even they can't get it any other way anyway.

To find reliable resources to download movies legally, you will need to be prepared to pay a subscription. There is no way any genuine site can offer legal movies for free. If any side claims to do so, then there must be a catch involved and a worst, the severe scam. Some of these so called legal movie download resource is just list a load of links to offsite pirated movies so effectively, not only are you downloading pirated illegal movies, but you are even paying for them too.

If you can download videos and you have found a reliable and legal source, you can then burn them to DVD so you can watch them back when your normal DVD player. Also, they often come in a certain format, the most popular being DivX, which is very useful since they will play on just about anything. - 18423

The Fundamentals Of How To Play The Violin

By Ned Dagostino

If you've always wanted to learn how to play the violin, you can. Of course, most people think that it's best to start when you are quite young, but really, you can learn how to play the violin at any age.

Taking private lessons from a qualified teacher can help, but starting out you may do just as well learning the basics from a friend or relative that plays. For instance you don't need a pro to teach you how to hold the instrument, yet this is very important. Get this wrong and you'll be very uncomfortable. You may be tempted to quit before you really get started, or worse, you could even suffer some form of stress injury. So let's do this right. Start by putting your left arm under the body of the violin. Hold the neck with your left hand and curl your fingers over the neck. Your hand and fingers will be on top of the strings and the the chin rest on the instrument will be between your chin and left shoulder. Take the bow in your right hand an you're ready to go.

Once you've learned to hold the violin properly, you can begin to learn how to finger notes on the violin. Unlike guitars, violins do not have frets. Instead, violin players literally play "by ear" until they know exactly where each note falls on the fingerboard.

You'll first be taught the four main positions on the violin. Those first position is at the end of the neck and will give you the low notes. The last of the four positions is close to your face and will give you higher notes. The four strings are tuned to G, D. A, and E. Play the strings "open" (with no fingers pressing on the strings) and these are the notes you will hear. Press you fingers on the strings at different locations and you will hear different notes.

There are two ways to play these notes. Most start out by plucking them. This is called pizzicato. The other way most people are familiar with is by steadily drawing the bow across the strings in a long stroke.

Something else you'll need to know is how to read music. If this is not something you already know there are several ways to learn. You can take a class, have someone who already knows teach you, or simply by going online and reading one of the many free tutorials.

If you want to learn how to play the violin expertly, remember that this is a process that takes many years, but it can be done with plenty of hard work and practice. - 18423
