Class-
The medium I've chosen for the topic of my blog is simply movies because it's a medium I use quite often. I am a recent new member of Netflix, and have really began to love it! The genre of movies I watch most often are thrillers and horror, but I really watch anything!
I won't be treating this blog as a movie review page; though, that is pretty much what this first post contains. I figured it's a good way to start off the blog. Keep reading future posts to find out about movie reviews; the actors, directors, and other parts of the staff that should be credited with our entertainment; and also, look for the history of movies and different types...
I generally stick to watching movies on one of my two televisions in my apartment, but if I wanted to, I have more options. I have an iPod Touch that allows me to upload and watch movies, plus, I can watch movies on my laptop, phone, or even a portable DVD player. An article written about a study states that U.S. respondents who watch video on their mobile phone spend an average of 36 minutes per day doing so (Watershead Publishing, 2009).
I just don't see why anyone would want to watch a movie on a screen that small. Aren't we living in a world of big screen, high definition televisions? And in some cases, those HDTVs are less expensive than the mobile phone!
I just watched a movie called The Prestige, which was one of those movies that I had to pay close attention to, so I didn't miss out on any vital scenes. If you haven't yet watched it, I recommend it. It was released in 2006, so you can easily find it in stores and movie rental shops.
The movie was intense, thrilling, confusing, and clever. The ending will surprise you and probably make yourself want to watch it again, so you really get it. That's all I'll say, for those of you who might want to check it out.
That's all for now. 'Til next time...

Netflix, I love it! I would like to welcome you to one of the best things EVER! I have been a member of Netflix for a couple of years, give or take. I have found myself staying home more often because of this addition in my life!
ReplyDeleteLike you I have two televisions in my home. I also use my computer to watch DVDs. I believe my Blackberry is capable of this too, but I’m not sure
I agree with you completely that no one (at least no one I know) would prefer watching a movie on a small screen. We do live in a world where bigger is better!
The Prestige is a great movie. I love Christian Bale :) I bought it when it came out on DVD, and it took me about two or three times to fully understand it. I like movies that make me think, and ones yo have to pay attention to. I recently rented Eagle Eye with my boyfriend and it was SO good! If you havn't seen it I suggest you rent it.
ReplyDeleteWe have two tvs in our apartment as well. My boyfriend wants a big screen! If he forks over the money, then I guess it is okay haha. But for now, my two little tvs work just fine for me!
