SOAP Net

This guest post from Lenny Mcknight

I checked into directv deals and got my new favorite channel: the SOAP Network. When I have some free time, I love to flip it on. They play some of my old favorite shows that you never see on regular television today. It is an ABC channel but is not on your regular line up. I have been able to catch up on episodes of my favorite 1990’s teenage drama that I haven’t seen in years, “Beverly Hills: 90210”. I loved that show as a kid. I always wanted to purchase the ten season DVD set, but it is way to expensive. Each season is like sixty dollars. I just couldn’t bring myself to invest $600 in a set of DVDs. Luckily, eventually all of the episodes will be on the SOAP Network. The other show that I love to watch that comes on there is another teenage drama that ended way to soon-- “The OC” . My husband will even watch the O.C. with me. It reminds me of living in the dorms when I was in college.

Scoring big with bingo!

Do you know the game Bingo? Have your tried playing it? To tell you, Bingo is fun and very exciting game that you must learn. Besides, it’s easy to win in this game.

Bingo is can be played on a Bingo house and online. For me, I enjoyed playing Bingo online; it is because of the free no deposit bingo. It is like a trial game, where you will play online Bingo without giving a money deposit. But when we say free, it doesn’t mean that you will not get any once you win the game. Some Online bingo that offers free bingo no deposit will also give rewards.

No deposit bingo has three types of games, first is like a demo game where you will not win anything for that game since your account is just a demo. Then there’s a real Bingo game still with bingo no deposit and won’t ask for a payment or ask you to register. Lastly is the free no bingo deposit where you will be given a bonus when you sign up. They will give you bonus that consists of a token that you can use to start a game.

Since it is really strange to give an online game without asking for a payment, it is their way just to attract the newbie to play and try their online Bingo game.

Getting my kicks out of watching Master Chef

Guest post written by Cindy Ramirez

I think that it's so entertaining to see all of these reality show competitions where cooks are competing. Especially the parts where the judges have to say what they think about these dishes that people have cooked. It kind of makes you wonder because you know that those dishes probably aren't as terrible as a lot of those judges make them out to be. Then again I guess that they can't say that this one dish is only slightly less good than this other one. That wouldn't make for good dramatic reality TV.

I was reading some spoilers about who ends up winning the competition in the end and while I was browsing through some blogs about that, I ran across the site www.Wirelessinternetproviders.net. I forwarded it to my roommates and after we had a chance to talk, we changed over the internet access at our apartment to it.

It's just too bad that you can't sign up for some service through the TV that you can get the food that you see poeple fix on teh competition for yourself. It is really sad to see all that amazing looking food and then not being able to eat any of it yourself.

Travelling aborad via satellite TV

Posted by Virgil Burks

House Hunters International was on TV last night and it was the best one for me by far. My daughter is thinking of moving over to France to study for her college degree and then masters, so we are trying to help her. We have been watching as many travel programmes as possible on Directtv Local Channels to gain some knowledge of France. And some of them are fantastic and have possibly helped my daughter avoid some of the pit falls which are usually associated with buying homes.

We were considering buying an old house and then doing it up for her. The relocation programmes have warned people who are intending to move abroad and carry out renovation work about some of the cowboy builders that can be found over there. Some of the con stories that they were talking about were unbelievable. One man had his home built from scratch but with no adequate foundations and the local governing body has ordered it to be demolished. The travel programmes have opened my eyes to possible problems and has already ensured that when the time comes, I will be getting my daughter a lawyer to sort out any licenses and a project manager to oversee any work that is being done.

Movie review – Shutter Island (2010)

The film tells the tale of one Teddy Daniels, a U.S. Marshal who is enlisted to help find a missing criminal on Shutter Island… the home to 66 of the country's most dangerous psychotic criminals. Right from the outset, nothing feels right, and Teddy Daniels must put the pieces together before all the mystery, red herrings, and barely contained hints of the film ruin the experience for the viewer. Shutter Island does a solid job, but it easily straddles the line between complex puzzler and almost being too forward with its hints. In the end, Shutter Island is another 'twist' movie; a played out gimmick that never fails to lure in the movie fans who think they've got it all figured out… then they love to tell you when the movie is over that everything that happened in the movie is exactly what they thought would happen in the movie. Bastards. You'd think just once these cinematic Nostradamus' would write down these film-fueled premonitions, but they never do it. That's because they're liars… just like that girl who told you, 'Don't worry. Those bumps are just razor burn.'

As far as being a puzzle master goes, Martin Scorsese has all of the elements and technical aspects of the 'twist' movie figured out. But sadly, Shutter Island is quite simply too clichéd to be one of the truly great twist films like The Sixth Sense or The Usual Suspects (which I still question as a valid 'twist' film by the way). The mental hospital angle opens up the door to viewer questioning as soon as Teddy Daniels sets foot on the island. The run-time of Scorsese's film is way too long and bolstered by an almost 20 minute reveal that bogs down the end of the film. Still, everything in the film looks wonderful, and as a period-piece, Shutter Island is about as good as you're going to find in a thriller. Scorsese also gets typically good performances from his actors, and while the lead up to the end of the movie may be trite and dumbed-down, the last moments are priceless. You could almost forgive the man for wasting so much time simply because the ending is perfect, tonally and cathartically. I still feel as if the delays in the film's release date might have something to do with that aesthetically displeasing expository footage which makes the film clear for all the mongos that typically see movies. But I could be wrong… maybe the retarded studios didn't force Scorsese to plop in 20 minutes of movie deuce at the film's end to make sure all movie fans, even the droolers, could figure out what was going on in the film… maybe.

As far as casting goes, the cast couldn't be any better. Ben Kingsley (BloodRayne, Twelfth Night), who seems a little off in the trailers, is actually spot on with his role. His off-ness is actually a key part of the character, and Kingsley plays it well. As a star, Leonardo DiCaprio (The Beach, The Departed) puts it on a little heavy at times, but for the most part, he is believable as Teddy Daniels, and he carries the film quite nicely. Even better, the supporting cast is piled high with talent who manage to outshine the film's stars at any given moment. Max Von Sydow (Flash Gordon, Conan The Barbarian) is superb as Dr. Cawley. Mark Ruffalo (Blindness, Zodiac) provides a nice complement to DiCaprio's Teddy Daniels, as his more down to earth detective buddy. Personal favorites Ted Levine (The Silence of the Lambs, Heat) and Elias Koteas (Fallen, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles) show up to dominate the screen with roles that are small, but integral to the story. Everything is rounded out by a stunning performance by the next Freddy Krueger, Jackie Earle Haley (Watchmen, Semi-Pro). Together, this cast combines to elevate Scorsese' somewhat pedestrian story into something that will be worth watching.

The biggest problem that most people are going to have with Shutter Island is that it's not a horror movie. Once again, a major studio's marketing team has messed up audience expectations and ruined any chance that this movie has at being a success. Your average dumbass fan will look at the Shutter Island trailers and find themselves a horror movie… and I don\'t blame them. This thing was certainly marketed and sold as a horror movie, despite the fact that it is a psychological thriller. It remains to be seen if this movie can overcome the handicaps foisted upon it by unscrupulous marketing, but I\'m getting the feeling that this is a no.

In the end, Shutter Island is a slightly above average psychological thriller… nothing more and nothing less. Martin Scorsese, one of the greatest directors around, simply doesn\'t do anything with this story that would make it anything else. There are no iconic moments within, and the character of Teddy Daniels isn\'t all that interesting. The mystery has been robbed of impact by shitty marketing, over-exposing trailers, and a poorly placed 20 minutes of 'Scorsese explains it all.' But Scorsese is still a solid director, things look nice, and this is one hell of a cast… so it\'s not all a loss.
