The 3rd film in the Underworld saga

June 26th, 2009 by admin | No Comments | Filed in How to copy DVD movies

The 3rd film in the Underworld saga goes back centuries to explain the beginning of the feud between the vampire Death Dealers and the werewolf Lycans.

Taking over directing requirements from Len Wiseman in Rise of the Lycans blu-ray, is greenhorn Patrick Tatoupolos, known for his creature-designing needs in Godzilla (1998), I am Legend ( 2007 ), and the 1st 2 films in this series.

Less an action-horror film than an old school “sword-and-sandal” film with monsters, Rise of the Lycans blu-ray ultimately gets to the root of why those vampires and werewolves truly can’t stand each other.

Ruled by Viktor (Bill Nighy, Valkyrie), the aristocratic, vampiric Death Dealers keep the wolflike Lycans as slaves. When a captive Lycan woman births a human boy, Viktor resists the urge to kill it, instead naming him Lucian and keeping him as a pet.

Lucian (Michael Sheen, Frost/Nixon) grows up to be a blacksmith with the power to change between human and wolf and begins a secret romance with Viktor’s girl, Sonja (Rhona Mitra, Doomsday ). Viktor learns of this banned love and takes extreme steps to ensure that Sonja will never be in a position to see Lucian again.

Lucian, in retaliation, leads a Rise of the Lycans blu-ray slave revolt, resulting in an all-out attack on Viktor’s dominion. Though viewers who have skipped the 1st 2 payments of the story may feel a little left out when it comes to the mythology of the series, Rise of the Lycans blue ray dvd hits the ground running and does not allow much time for queries.

While Sheen has been praised for his work in more historically dramatic films, here he gives his all to every growl and war cry. Mitra is an appealing presence as Sonja, and Nighy is visibly relishing the opportunity to glower in his blue contacts and gnaw the moonlight-bathed view.

If you have had enough Oscar-nominated oatmeal, and you are in the mood for a gigantic bowl of sugary cereal with no nutritional content, Subculture : Rise of the Lycans blu-ray is ready for you to sink your fake fangs into it. While Alfred Hitchcock and more recently M. Night Shyamalan have wobbled between whether to pen to scribble roles for themselves into their own scripts, there is no skidding for Subculture personality writer Kevin Grevioux.

Time Warner Cable vs Direct TV

June 25th, 2009 by admin | No Comments | Filed in How to copy DVD movies

Subscribers to satellite and cable television literally have hundreds of choices when it comes to sports programming. Specialized sports packages give the customer access to nearly 30 pro and college football games every weekend. Even the NCAA tournament has expanded coverage with the Mega March Madness on Direct TV.

The motto today is “Content is King” and as the saying goes the networks want to bring as much content as possible to the customer so they can sell more ads. Quite a few new all-sports networks have sprung up in the past few years. Included among these are Altitude Sports, which carries Denver Nuggets and the NHL’s Colorado Avalanche matches, as well as the Big 10 network and the Mtn, the network of the Mountain West conference.

Sure these channels are great for people in certain parts of the nation, but disagreements between the providers of content and cable networks that deliver the content have brought difficulties to the customer. For example, the Big Ten Network started airing in 2007, but they were in a carraige dispute with cable TV provider Time Warner. Subscribers of Time Warner in Indiana were unable to see some of the home town teams play due to this dispute. Fortunately, the companies involved came to terms before the fall football season, so customers could remain with with Time Warner instead of having to switch to one of the satellite TV providers like DISH Network or DirecTV. An important thing to do when considering providers is to consider all factors, comparing DIRECTV against Time Warner.

Out of market sports programming are another consideration for the customer. Some Dish Network customers have switched providers because the NFL Sunday ticket is exlusively with DirecTV. This has left a bad taste in the mouth of some consumers, who don’t understand why a high demand package like this isn’t available to every provider, especially a big company like Comcast. Alternative sports packages though are more friendly to subscribers, such as the NHL Center Ice and the NBA League Pass, which are available on almost every cable TV and satellite company. DIRECTV seems to have all of the sports programming like the Sunday Ticket.

June 23rd, 2009 by admin | No Comments | Filed in How to copy DVD movies

Are you in the market for satellite television entertainment? There are two main satellite TV providers in the US market, DirecTV and Dish Network. DirecTV has larger market portion but in this article we will focus on Dish Network because we believe that Dish Network provides bigger bang for your buck currently.

Merchandise for films that we should consider making

June 23rd, 2009 by admin | No Comments | Filed in How to copy DVD movies

You can get almost any movie merchandise you want nowadays -books, mugs, t-shirts and so on and so forth. But lets be honest- this isnt the merchandise we were hoping for -if your going to give us some promotional merchandise, make it exciting, fun -and deadly. This is a few of the objects that we really want from the movies.

  • A lightsabre that actually slices and dices. Dont lie -ever since it lopped off that monsters hand in the catina we’ve all wanted to wield one. Be prepared to fight randomn strangers for no reason other than you both have a lightsabre, you dont have to make the ‘whoom’ noise yourself anymore and it will be available in a wide range of colours. People would be duelling like samurais all over the place and every nerd’s dream will come true. Try very hard not to sever your own limb off in the process.
  • The DeLorean DMC-12 car. Yup, the time travelling care from the Back to the future movies, Everyone would love the oppitunity to change something in their past- now here’s their chance. but if everyone bought one time would keep changing every time someone went back and the whole solar system would blow up. Nah, just kidding, but in changing the past, how much would we affect the future? Since the whole world is experiencing a retro eighties style fad at the moment, this is the car to be seen in.
  • The Hellraiser Lament configuration box. Yes, Satan’s answer to the Rubix cube will result in you having a visit from Pinhead, but that makes it perfect for getting rid of those unwanted guest and bill collectors. Tim in finance about to get that promotion that is rightfully yours? Not now their not. Everyone trying to get in your way now gets a one way trip -south of the equator. Try not to get bored and have a play about with it yourself- its one deadly paperweight.

Need some branded merchandise that isnt going to kill you?
