		<description><![CDATA[The new Prometheus movie trailer from Ridley Scott was amazing to watch. The visual effects based content presented in the trailer made a petty compelling case for going to go see the movie. When the distributor releases the movie on June 8, 2012 will the product have an audience that shows up? Paying customers are becoming an increasingly scarce commodity within the movie business. The last year has been particular rough for cinemas. The last major science fiction genre film released John Carter (2012) is on pace to set an unprecedented loss record for Disney. Will the Ridley Scott directed Prometheus be a box office release  that is be able to draw in adult audiences?]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[My review of the movie Moneyball was published on October 1, 2011 under the title, “Moneyball Movie Review.” Given my interest in the film, I decided to preorder the move on Blu-ray disc from Amazon. For the most part the transfer quality is pretty decent. Some of the interlaced footage had some serious artifacts.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Full disclosure: I grew up watching baseball. I have been to a ton of Kansas City Royals games. I really enjoyed the Aaron Sorkin created Sports Night. Aaron Sorkin did a fabulous job during a series of appearances on the HBO show Entourage. On the other hand, please consider that I believe the National Football league (NFL) has usurped Major League Baseball (MLB) as America’s pastime.   Ok, disclosures aside: Let’s talk about the movie Moneyball. First and foremost the movie was well crafted definitely worth watching on the big screen. Joni and I decided to spend the $6.25 per ticket to watch the movie at our local Cinemark Theater. We try to schedule at least one activity per weekend. The early bird special saved us a couple of dollars. The theater included about 11 people broken into 6 groups. Everybody in the theater purchased at least one beverage and a large bucket of popcorn. A large soda and popcorn cost $11.50. Please keep in mind a bag of microwave popcorn and a 2 liter of soda would cost about $4.25. Movie theater economics and cost structures are important, but I will concede that Aaron Sorkin built a truly well [...]]]></description>

Strangely enough, the VUDU video service happens to be included in the new PS3 channels area. The HDX format presents 1080p content with Dolby digital plus 5.1 channel audio.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[During the Tuesday purchase of the new Star Trek DVD it seemed liked a good idea to purchase the edition with a digital copy of the movie. Based on a naïve presumption the DVD with the digital copy was placed into a laptop computer DVD player at which time a series of digital protection errors occurred. Apparently, the digital copy was nothing more than an expensive piece of silica sporting the Star Trek logo. Maybe the Paramount pictures website will provide some guidance about the problem. However, given the nature of copyright restrictions the system is probably performing normally and the digital copy was nothing more than a novelty gift akin to stuffed animals at a circus carnival.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Amazon decided to deliver the second season of The Big Bang Theory (TBBT) on digital video disc (DVD) earlier this week. Surprisingly the episodes seem to be flying by throughout the morning hours. TBBT should probably be expanded to an hour long format instead of the exceedingly short thirty minute format. For some reason, watching entire marathon seasons of television shows usually leads to procrastination or at least some form of distracted typing.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Andy from Chicago deserves a hat tip for recommending a complete viewing of season 1 of The Big Ban Theory (TBBT) television show on DVD. After watching the complete first season of TBBT progressively throughout the season the writing seemed to concede some of the physics dialogue for predictable plot devices. Overall, the first episode probably represented the best writing of the season. Usually, a pilot episode defines how much of a learning curve the writers will have during the season. Under normal conditions television shows typically reframe from dialogue referencing mathematics or physics. Results from TBBT will probably not translate to an increase in dialogue complexity throughout other television shows.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Andy from Chicago has asked an interesting question about a show currently broadcast on the CBS network titled, “The Big Bang Theory.” A question exists about when an individual adopts a new television show. Specifically, should the individual viewer start at the current broadcast point or the very beginning of the show. Currently, the show has started a third broadcast season. Some television broadcasts do not build plot details or iterative themes and require very little effort from the viewer. In this case, a question remains about acquiring the first season of the show. Perhaps somebody with knowledge on the subject would be able to answer the current question. Maybe somebody knows whether watching “The Big Bang Theory” is worth the time commitment… 1. The 17 episode first season of “The Big Bang Theory” would cost about $19.99 on Amazon. 2. Renting the “The Big Bang Theory” from a mail order delivery movie service would take several weeks. 3. Ignoring the “The Big Bang Theory” would require minimal effort. 4. Waiting for the box set of “The Big Bang Theory” could take several years, but could reduce the total price of viewership. 5. Alternatively, CBS might decide to release “The [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[A few notes about Michael Bay’s already financially successful feature film Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen (2009). This sequel to the blockbuster Transformers (2007) has been in theaters for a few days. In terms of a blockbuster feature film premiering during the summer, the new Transformers film delivers a nearly nonstop string of entertaining moments mixed with computer generated explosions. Joni thought the computer generated images depicting the transformers between various transformations degraded between the two films. Without question, the initial transformers feature film provided awesome graphics. During one of the special features on the Transformers (2007) DVD a discussion of the robot transformations detailed the efforts put into making them realistic. Unfortunately, the same degree of careful consideration for the computer generated transformations did not occur. Given the two year timeline between the two films, the computer generated images (CGI) should have increased in quality. In the future, very few people will remember the transformers sequel as a science fiction classic. However, the film works in terms of providing pure entertainment, which is what the movie going experience is supposed to provide. Therefore, anybody interested in the prospect of entertainment in the form of science fiction blockbuster will enjoy [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Only 27 days after the opening, Joni authorized a lunchtime trip to the local movie theater to see the Tom Hanks film Angels &#038; Demons. A review of the movie will be forthcoming later today or maybe tomorrow. Expect to see a few initial reactions about the movie on Twitter. Over the years, Tom Hanks has been involved in a very wide range of movie projects. After recently hearing Tom Hanks participate in an excellent radio interview on the Dennis Miller Show, it seemed like a good time to see the movie. Movies only have limited theatrical runs. Movie theaters could make money by showing classic movies on weekdays. A large catalog of movies exists. Based on the total catalog of available movies a classic movie Tuesday format could bring 52 movies a year to life on the big screen. &#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8211; Angels &#038; Demons Movie Review&#8230; Dan Brown probably should have crafted a stronger novel. Elements of the plot are interesting and could have been the seeds of a strong novel. Overall, some of the plot decisions seriously hampered the development of both characters and readability. Visually, the movie delivers stunning imagery. Tom Hanks worked within the backdrop of history. [...]]]></description>
