Mr. Television: Milton Berle

By David Glisan

Milton Berle's death in 2002 didn't get the coverage it deserved. He was basically eulogized as a relic of the early days of television, who'd dress up as a woman to get laughs. That was an obscene trivialization of his impact. Berle didn't just become famous on television, he essentially created the industry that dominates the entertainment landscape to this day.

Berle didn't just blaze the trail, he found the trail and cleared it. Berle not only 'made' television, but laid the foundation for the entire entertainment culture of the late 20th century up until the present. Before Milton Berle, no one cared what was on TV because it was all banal, poorly produced schlock. Berle's "Texaco Star Theater" was the first blockbuster hit on television and put up numbers that are unfathomable today-it would routinely draw 80%+ of the television audience and hit over 90% on a few occasions. By way of comparison, consider that the NFL and the TV networks consider it a great year when the Superbowl draws a 70% share.

It was only after people started to care about what was on TV that the entire industry prospered--viewers flocked to the shows, advertisers rushed to sponsor shows, networks tried to outdo each other with producing new shows, and an entire media category sprung up to cover the industry.

At least there was no such duplicity in Berles nickname: Mr. Television. Berle was born on July 12, 1908 and his showbiz career began when he won a Charlie Chaplin look-alike contest. A career in vaudeville followed, which led to the television show that made him an institution. His TV success wasnt a fluke, or a case of him being in the right place at the right time. He had an uncanny understanding of how to utilize the medium, and an ability to adapt his stage act to the new audience. Berle worked constantly throughout his 88 year career"even getting an Emmy Nomination for a role on Beverly Hills 90210. More recently, he was the namesake of a short-lived but well intended good life magazine called Milton that summed up his life with their slogan: We smoke, we drink, we gamble.

One of the most telling indications of the sort of man Milton Berle was can be seen in the near universal goodwill he engendered during his life. Everyone regardless of stature or importance gives the same account: a quick witted, easy-going, fun loving gentleman who enjoyed the finer things in life. Of particular note was the omnipresent cigar. While George Burns may have been a more famous cigar emissary, Berles tastes were far more refined in this regard. Burns typically smoked inexpensive machine made sticks, while Berles tastes tended toward high end Montecristos.

Berle not only redefined the concept of television and created the industry that exists around it, he lived as a gentleman who enjoyed life and took great pleasure from the people he shared it with. - 23806

Transformers: Revenge Of The Fallen Online

By Jenny Amos

If you adore the metal being smashed against metal and huge robots annihilating the hell out of one another is up your street, ensure you watch Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen online free. Theres absolutely nothing more that you can expect in a Michael Bay movie besides havoc, explosions, ravishing girls and confusion and this is precisely what is in Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen movie.

The action scenes are certainly the best that I have seen so far and people would be dumbstruck at the quality of CGI Animation adopted in this movie. However these things come with its fair share of drawbacks as the whole movie emphasizes solely on robotic fight sequences and explosions and thus the audiences get a bad storyline. Nevertheless, the action scenes are very good that it could make old Arnie jump out his seat.

The Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen movie smashed many box office records for ticket collections and this is not surprising. One thing that many reviewers trashed about the movie was the long running time - nearly 2 and a half hours. If a few scenes were cut here and there, this would have been so much better.

Practically everything in the film is exaggerated, the robots, the plot as well as the time frame. The story, does go well nicely on the other hand even though weak in some places . Michael Bay isnt perturbed by any of the flak from critics; he still adheres to his success formula " produce fantastic and and slick fighting and combat scenes.

The story is all about the battle between the huge robots. Like I said earlier, the storyline is not focus of the film but we should respect that considering the fact that we were treated to some scintillating action. There are more fight scenes and robots involved when you compare it with the original movie. This actually gives you a feeling that the Transformers are vigilantes for earths people and not some distant warring aliens.

When you look at the acting side, no one really gives an award winning performance but they have all done a decent job nonetheless. Megan Fox looked as sexy as ever while Tyrese and Josh Duhamel looked like they had to force themselves into voicing out their dialogues. Michael Bay always had a love for these slow motion scenes but this is the first time he brings in more slow motion scenes especially when Megan Fox runs in some of the fight sequences, but it was wonderfully satisfying. Shia, who acts like the half hero and half confused college kid, is given a responsibility to save the world, and he does a commendable job at that.

If you are looking for quality drama or a meaty script, look elsewhere. Otherwise, Transformers is ideal for you, especially if you are crazy about stunts and action sequences. You can view Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen online free on our website. To watch Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen online free, all that you need to do is a quick registration procedure and you will be able to access a library full of old as well as new movies at absolutely no cost! - 23806

Cross That Bridge When You Watch

By James Pyn

You can learn a great deal from tag lines. Not only are they the pithy currency of would-be screenwriters and filmmakers alike, but they are semi-clever marketing slogans. That being said, I must say the tag line for BRIDGE TO TERABITHIA is actually dead on. Watching the film (or better yet, reading the book) will indeed help you discover a place that will never leave you, and a friendship that will change you forever. True enough -- and well said.

Taking into consideration a few minor plot adjustments, the film is a shining example of how a novel should and could be adapted for the screen. The film was written by David Paterson, who is the son of the novel's author, Katherine Paterson. As previously mentioned, it was faithfully adapted and lovingly brought to life. This is in no small way an indication of both Csupo and Paterson's dedication to the tenements of the novel.

The story revolves around two 12-year-old friends who create an imaginary world. This is the world of Terabithia. This virtual kingdom was stunningly depicted by the conceptual artist Dima Malanitchev and brought tot life by the effects wizards at Weta Digital. The director, Csupo, insisted the look and feel of the fantastic elements be realistic and keeping in line with a greater sense of subtlety.

Filmed in New Zealand, the film manages to balance itself between the real-life aspect of everyday life and the imaginative world of the main characters, Jesse Aarons, played by Josh Hutcherson, and Leslie Burke, played by AnnaSophia Robb. These relative newcomers provide a convincing and moving portrait of young friendship and possibly the budding of young love. Their performances are not to be missed.

Completed for approximately $20 million, BRIDGE TO TERABITHIA garnered more than $120 million worldwide, designating it as something of a rarity: a hit. The film virtually swept the Young Artist Awards, sponsored by the prestigious Hollywood Foreign Press Association. It is a film that can be enjoyed by both young and old audiences. Indeed, as another of its tag lines suggests: close your eyes, but keep your mind wide open. - 23806
