No Schedule For Film
When times are good and when times are bad, there is always enough time to watch a film! Personally I watch films on a daily basis. All different types of films, ranging from comedy to horror, from family to drama, all kinds of films to suit all kinds of moods. Films have no schedule so they’re available at any time and any hour. A perfect source of entertainment to match anyone’s schedule.

Film Festivals
What better way to share freedom of expression? Film festivals give artists the chance to share they’re art in a carefree environment where nothing is judged and everyone can form personal opinions. From contests, to free art, film festivals happen all over the world. Year after year film festivals help aspiring artists get noticed, or even just help them get some ideas of they’re own. In my opinion film festivals are always for the better. Gatherings of people that come out with open minds and recognize talent and art. Most festivals are for specific topics or genres. Deciding which one to attend is the best question of all. I hope to go see one for myself in the near future.

The Tale of Heath Ledger

Born on April 4th 1979 in Western Australia Heath Ledger was born for success. For years and years Ledger Acted in Large amounts of amazing movies. But his life took a serious turn when he was asked to play the part of the joker in the Dark Night. Being the second Batman movie ever made the pressure was on to be as good as the first. Jack Nicholson (The jokers of the 1st Batman movie) stressed to Ledger that he better not mess this part up. Because according to Nicholson he barely deserved it, this intensified the load of pressure. In desperate need to get into character Ledger would go to the heart of New York to watch crimes and see for himself how the real ones were done. With all the stress Ledger found it hard to get a good night sleep. So he reported to his doctor, and got a prescription of sleeping pills. Unsure how affective they would be, night after night ledger would take these pills to get a good rest. Then on January 22nd 2008 these sleeping pills overloaded his system and managed to kill him. No one knows exactly how many he took or all the circumstances at hand but everyone knows this was a very tragic day. On July 16th The Dark Night was released and won many awards. But Health Ledger will always be remembered.
And The Grammy Goes Too...
Every year the Grammy’s come on TV for everyone too see. Filled with awards, performances and thousands of celebrities, the Grammy’s is always a sight to see. Although I find it hard to overlook the pattern of awards received by celebrities. It seems as if, they receive 3 awards or none at all. Lady Gaga, Beyonce, and Black Eyed Peas were up for at least 3 and won at least 2. While others such as Lil Wayne received no nominees or awards. I guess the vote is a quite a bias opinion. With out a say we just continue on our everyday lives watching the same old awards with the same old people, but every year they still happen to seem just as good. A milestone in the entertainment business I cant wait to see what happens in 2011.

Plagiarized Avatar?
There has been a lot of talk that the multi-billion dollar movie Avatar was a stolen idea. Ten years ago Poul Anderson sent out his movie idea Call Me Joe to various studios. One studio happening to be the one James Cameron was at. With no response from any studios. Time progressed and out came Avatar. Anderson noticed the remarkable resemblance when the previews hit. When the film was released, Anderson watched in aw that his movie idea had been created. Enraged he took Cameron to court and the results of outcome are still unknown by public.
Way to many reality TV shows
In our world today it seems to be necessary to keep up with others lives and drama. There are over 45 reality TV or soap opera shows on Canadian TV alone. From completely made up drama on a show like Gossip Girl to “real life” drama on a show like The Hills girls all over the country get sucked in to watch every week. The mind-bottling thing is, how did these shows get so popular? Why are they the shows with the most viewers? 2010 took a series fall into the “reality TV” when the famous Jersey Shore came on to screen. A show about un-respected women and player type guys do what they want when they want. With no sense of remorse to others. Not only do these shows represent awful things, but also they promote teens to act that way. Jersey Shore party themes became overly popular. Encouraging girls to dress provocative and boys to grease up their hair till it shines… the fact that no one found this to be peculiar astonishes me.
