According to Rotten Tomatoes, the critics and fans both agree that “Argo” is an excellent film. Ben Affleck is pretty proud of the film, as he should be. It’s also very timely with Iran being in the news so much.

There are only thirteen days left, and most people are sick of the process at this point, especially if you live in the swing states. You can see the election everywhere, including shows like Bill Maher as you might expect. But you’re also seeing Obama and Romney on many of the entertainment programs as well. That’s more true of Obama. Romney seems reluctant at times to have anyone interview him, so he canceled his appearance on “The View.” Obama of course was thrilled to go on that program as most of the women there love him. Obama will also be hitting MTV and Jay Leno this week.
Of course politicians have always been doing stuff like this. Most of us remember Bill Clinton playing the sax on Arsenio. JFK hung around with the Rat Pack, but that was a much different time. Of course with politics, some things have changed dramatically while others stays the same. In today’s world, Twitter rules and bloggers can have a ton of influence. Still, TV rules, as it’s done since JFK outclassed Richard Nixon in the first televised debate. And then you have mailers, brochures and yard signs. Those have been around forever and are still important. Of course the difference now is use can use online printing services to get a better deal, like online brochure printing at UPrinting. While the Internet can make a huge difference, person to person campaigning and printed campaign materials will always have influence.
Check out the new trailer for “The First Time” starring Dylan O’Brien (MTV’s “Teen Wolf”), Britt Robertson (CW’s “The Secret Circle”) and Victoria Justice, with Craig Roberts (“Submarine”) James Frenchville, LaMarcus Tinker (“Glee”), Christine Taylor and Joshua Malina in supporting roles. The film is written and directed by Jonathan Kasdan.
“The Master” is getting a ton of buzz. It has a phenomenal cast with Philip Seymour Hoffman and Joaquin Phoenix, and director Paul Thomas Anderson is the new darling of Hollywood. As you can see from the photo is has a very cool movie poster as well, so you can see people grabbing movie poster frames to showcase this poster on their walls.
The critics love the film as well, as you can see from the 85% rating from Rotten Tomatoes. Yet the audience rating is only 62%, so this is one of those films that impresses the critics with its artistic achievement but doesn’t entertain as many fans.
Perhaps the film is misunderstood by some, but after having seen it, it strikes me as grossly overrated. Frankly the film is boring as hell. The acting is superb, particularly the performance of Joaquin Phoenix, but Philip Seymour Hoffman‘s talent is wasted here. His character, Lancaster Dodd, is supposed to be the master, yet his appeal as a cult leader isn’t convincing. It’s not because Hoffman can’t pull off the role. It’s just that Anderson gives him absolutely nothing interesting to say. It’s all gibberish, and thus the entire premise of the film falls apart.
You have to see it for yourself to make up your mind, but I suggest you save your self the money. Save your money on the poster as well. Perhaps you can watch the film later on HBO. At least you won’t feel like you got ripped off.
From Friday nights in to boredom at airports, laptops now serve a purpose of more than just writing Word documents and surfing the Internet. Users are upgrading their drives to view Blue-Ray DVDs and access high-quality movies online from popular content websites. Here are a few tips to ensure you get the most out of watching movies from your laptop.
Change Your Power
Typically laptops default to a low performance. This conserves power and is beneficial when working on programs such as Word or writing an email. When running a video, however, the laptop must utilize more energy—especially HD videos that require a higher output of power. You can combat this setting by simply changing the power management to a high performance setting within your laptop’s settings function. This can be done in Windows by going to the Control Panel and finding the Power Options menu. You can also click on the battery icon on the taskbar and access Power Options.
Upgrade Your Notebook
If your laptop is older even by a few years, it is not current with the technological needs of HD videos. Laptops are now faster and more capable of the performance necessary to sustain the power required to view a movie. Lightweight laptops are not only easier to carry, but also optimized for performance. If you are going to be spending hours watching movies, an investment like this will yield much more positive results.
Check Your Programs
Watching HD movies causes your laptop to work harder. It has to decode the content. Stopping any anti-virus software running in the background, closing out of any open programs, removing any malware, and keeping a clean system will ensure your laptop doesn’t have to work harder than it already will. It is also possible that you experience reduced power when transferring files between laptops or onto other devices, so be sure to finish all of these tasks before inserting the movie or downloading one off of a website.
Use Graphics Chips
Modern laptops come with a graphics chip to assist processors with any high-definition movies you want to play, which is known as GPU-acceleration. They are designed to display video and graphics while taking away the load from the processors. If your laptop is an older model, using a graphics chip will ensure that the video plays effortlessly and does not skip while running at just a small percentage of its maximum load.
Following these techniques will help ensure you have a pleasant, uninterrupted experience when watching movies on your laptop. It is not tedious to perform a few simple tasks so that your laptop doesn’t have to work harder and cause you frustration in the movie-viewing process.
