When a band goes into the studio to record a CD, not only play their instruments, to lay down the tracks, and then mix the final cut and call it a day. There are many things that will ensure that all recorded tracks ready for the final mix, for example, add effects, adjust frequencies, and make every single sound track polished before coming together in the final mix.
Recording a TV program or film project is similar in many ways to record an album, unless you are using video instead of audio (well, is using two) and before putting the package together, before sitting down to mix everything and make it shine, you want to polish their video footage, scenes, the best you can be. That's where the top 5 TV graphics come into play.
Graphics can add shine and dimension to your scenes
We live in a three dimensional world. While technological trendy 3D films and even television sets, most of the films will continue to be filmed in two dimensions. Any chance you have to add spice to your visual input to be taken. That does not mean you should fill each frame of each scene with shades of graphs, which would dilute the effect it might have and make your film feel naive in the final.
You must use these programs when you want to enhance photos, create the illusion of three dimensions, or add text, at the junction of cartoon characters or additional scenes, or more. Top 5 TV chart are: Maxon Cinema 4D, Adobe Fireworks, CorelDraw X4, Abode Illustrator CS4 and Adobe Photoshop. For the sake of argument, let's add Lightwave and Maya to the mix. So you have seven in total.
As you can see from this list, Adobe has three of the four programs in the market for the creation and improvement of video footage. While there is no need for these three products from Adobe, as each has some features cross-over, when used in conjunction with others, can create some amazing scenes for the video jacks.
Maxon Cinema 4D, however, is one of the best graphic design programs are in the market for all of your installation and needs improvement. You can create absolutely stunning 3D scenes, create better vaccines, and incorporate green screen images easily the liquid through this program.
LightWave allows you to add effects to the film perfectly, keeping the continuity you want. How do you know you've done a great job with editing and adding effects? When one realizes that nothing has been added to the final product, that's how. NewTek LightWave for a product is to believe without visual images.
Autodesk Maya will give you great visual effects in 3D in the fingertips, and the price is right for the average budget. Of course, any program you choose to use to edit graphics, which will become of you, the filmmaker, to decide what and how much effect to use for each scene. With current technology, there are plenty of options available for any filmmaker and almost any budget. Although these programs have great options and tangible results, if exaggerated, the film will suffer the consequences.
Use common sense and when you have all these wonderful toys available, use a little moderation and you will find that your final product is best for them, not drowned beneath them.

The Top 5 Film and TV Figure
Cult Classic Movies
So one afternoon I was going through a TV guide and I found one of the cult films of all time classics Mr. Incredible lapa. Why the title seems so familiar. Further reading finally recalled. Although I have never seen this film for decades, is one that you remember and talk about it, but what was his name? One of the magical films of Don Knotts from the early 60's, where Mr. Knotts trips and dives into the ocean, suddenly becomes a fish animation with shows.

Film Financing - Can Film Graduates Take the challenge
Graduates of a Film Studies program have a new opportunity in film and video production. Of course, with every opportunity comes a challenge - and in this case, the challenge is to find financing for, or projects of their employer.
With the advent of digital equipment in the field of film and video production has expanded. The usual Hollywood production style is no longer the only route to a career for graduates of the film. There are a multitude of opportunities in audio and video applications across business, government and entertainment industry. That means opportunity for enthusiastic graduates to produce their own film and video projects, or the land of the most interesting positions with major production companies, film and video.
Funding has been a dirty word for years in the film industry. The "blue suit and the cold heart of banking are synonymous with enemy of creativity. However, in this new era of opportunity that needs to be the" blue suit "and the creative.
How to find a way to learn about financing the film, the film's budget, etc? First let's look at the Film Studies program.
There are many programs available study Film confusing me, and I have worked in the film industry for over 20 years. The universities are adopting a liberal arts degree in curriculum, and the Colleges / Schools are taking a practical approach mainly technical. In any case, it is indisputable that the movie studios is big business. The following excerpt from The New York Times, published
March 6, 2005 ©, let me clear that major movie studios business is actually:
"About 600 colleges and universities in the United States offer programs in film studies or related subjects, a figure that has grown steadily over the years .... At the University of Southern California, whose School of Cinema and Television is the oldest film school in the nation (founded in 1929), half of 16. 500 undergraduate students of the college take at least one cinema / television class. "
The university, school or university graduates better prepare for a career in film and video? If a student has spent 2 to 4 years of his life at this point, how they will turn into a worthwhile career?
Let's see what the universities say about their own programs, and the type of results they expect - that is, what the graduate will be able to do as they enter the workforce. This promotional letter, posted on a University website says it all:
"One of the major film studios is not an occupational or professional degree. A good program of studies in this discipline, however, must qualify a student for a variety of career possibilities. Clearly, an individual must use their knowledge about film in either a creative or practical ability, and in any case, the exercise of the trial and the initiative to rigorous monitoring of a minor in Film Studies to develop. "
The use of 'must' twice in three sentences the story - that's up to you, Bud!
Film Studies program (at any level), or disregard, or not concerned enough, the main force behind the whole film and video production - money! If money is put the word at all, just a handshake and a nod. Most undergraduate programs have very little mention of the budgets of movies, and things such as cost reports and business plans are treated as foreign issues completely. Master's programs are only slightly better.
The reason for this lack of information about things like Film budgets, cost reports, etc. in the academic sector originates in the great machine of Hollywood production. Negotiations with the three unions perpetual large (SAG, DGA and WGA), as well as IATSE and Teamsters unions has forced the crew to the study of production is extremely confidential.
That was total confidentiality is not over, however there is great demand to know more about film financing, film budgeting, etc. The new crop of Independent Film & Video manufacturers want to make their own projects, find your own funding and make their own movie budgets and reports of production costs. Even it is increasingly possible for producers to distribute their own projects through the Internet.
Believe me, the graduate film school who has a deep knowledge of film studies program and understands the basic processes of film budgeting, cost reports and business plans, is light years ahead of the rest. A graduate of film studies can help prepare a financing package (ie, help prepare a budget of a film and a simple business plan) would be absolutely blow away any and Independent Film Production Company video. Can you imagine an independent producer who would not like to have help preparing and filing a financing package?
I used to think film students was a lack of interest in the Budget Film and costs (any type). Not any more. I recently did a survey of film students in film school respected. These are the results of the survey:
Over 80% of students said they felt it was important to know more about the budget and how it affected his career as a filmmaker.
The film and video production is one of the largest industries in the world (along with weapons, of course). The widespread use of digital media has created a new opportunity. That opportunity, though less expensive than the production of Hollywood-style movies we used to, it remains expensive and requires funding. How do you get that funding? Where to begin?
Answer: Start with the basics of film budget, cost reports and business plans simple. If you can calculate a focal point, or learn to handle a video camera, a budget of a film is a piece of cake.
Based on my experience over the past 20 years in the film industry, I can say with confidence:
1. Graduates of the movie studio programs that you know the basics of money from film and video production (budgets, cost reports and business plans) realize they can assume greater responsibility for their film and video projects, and
2. As a result, have more successful careers than their peers who have not learned to prepare budgets for Film productions that do not understand the Report of Costs and never saw a simple business plan.
So how does a film student to become familiar with budgets, cost reports and a simple business plan? I have been a production auditor for 20 years and have never shown a crew member of a final budget or weekly cost report (the universal financial report card, issued to the financiers and producers each week) throughout the time. They are considered sacred by the studio executives, producers and financiers everywhere.
Well, I'm going to annoy some relevant articles that will open the door enough to let you walk through. They are written for the novice, so be patient if you've been exposed to the budgets and cost reports.

How to enjoy a movie with subtitles - A starting point
For most of us, any movie with subtitles is an immediate turn-off. We do not like reading. This means that we really like reading in the cinema.
This is quite unfortunate, because no English-speaking countries are becoming one of the best cinemas in the world. In the recently passed-filmmaker Ousmane Sembene in Africa, a respected Iran's Kiarostami, Abbas, with the revival of Romanian cinema of directors like Cristian Mungiu, and movies celebrate Asia, among others, Wong Kar Wai or Tsai Ming-liang, no is a wealth of entertainment and education to be had from-you guessed-movies with subtitles.
But how can you, who hates to read, learn to see and enjoy these films and filmmakers? Well, here are two tips to help you get started.
1. Do not read!
As I'm sure you know, the films were initially silent. To tell their stories, which was based on visual information: acting, design, editing. They were usually accompanied by live music, so it made the sound in some sense, but the sound was secondary and was not dialogue.
All narrative films of today evolved from these silent films and his way of telling stories. Many of the agreements are still around.
Therefore, even today, in a good movie dialogue is secondary. You can build the story, but not vital. The main objective is visual. So when you're watching a movie with subtitles, do not pay much attention to the subtitles. Movie of the experience as something to be seen. Sure, your eye wanders all from time to time to get the gist of what they say, but do not focus on the written word!
2. Do your reading before their observation
Most people find movie reviews to decide what to watch. I suggest something more to foreign films: Search for them to understand the basic plot and context. Use the IMDB, the Technical Specifications section, Rotten Tomatoes, Allmovie, Google, whatever. Do not take more than fifteen minutes, and you will be rewarded with a richer visual experience. A trailer works sometimes, too.
But I ask, not that spoil the plot? Probably. And it should! Do not let the distractions of Hollywood plot spoil your foreign film. Once you know the basics of the story, do not feel cheated by the expectations of the theft. Instead of paying attention to what happens, pay attention to how it occurs, and how they are displayed. That's what separates the good from the bad film.
Indeed, the alleged superior quality of a foreign film is not just a kind of snobbery cinema. Is implicit. Not all films are subtitled and available in the English speaking world, and only the best are. Subtitles, therefore, are a type of filtering. Only the cream comes in.
Give foreign films, subtitled films, a chance. It's a whole new world of the movie. However, it also is slightly different to what we're used to seeing. Therefore, subtitled see things in their own terms. And the use of these two councils as an entry point. You will not be disappointed.
South Park: Review Bigger, Longer & Uncut Film
The 1999 film South Park: Bigger, Longer and Uncut is produced by Trey Parker and Matt Stone. It stars Trey Parker, Matt Stone, Mary Kay Bergman, Isaac Hayes. The manager is Trey Parker.
The story begins with Stan Marsh leaving home to see friends and go see a new movie. This new film has a lot of bad words in it and the boys begin to use them. His parents find out where they heard the bad language and as the kids get into trouble. After Mr. Mackey, school counselor, try to teach them not to swear to go see the movie again, without knowing their fathers. When Kenny Cartman tries to show her a trick, catches fire. Once again, parents recognize that their children went to the movie. They are based on the next two weeks. Then all the parents of South Park get together and find someone to blame for the bad language of children. They decide to blame Canada, the country where the film came. As a result of these accusations, pumps Canadian family mansion Baldwin. In response, the United States declares war on Canada.
Unless you are familiar with the type of humor of the television series South Park, you probably do not like. It has many bad words and violent scenes. For example, Cartman sings a song about Kyle's mother in which the flame bitch. The main characters in the film are the children of eight years of age. This kind of language from children so young may surprise some viewers and be seen as grossly inadequate. Also during the course of the film one of the boys died. Kenny accidentally burned while Cartman shows a fart can be fired. Physicians who are trying to save to grab and pull the parts of his body and, ultimately, to replace his heart with a baked potato. The Pope then explodes, killing him. Many people have rejected this type of humor rude, but you have to understand the unique style of humor that Stone and Parker present in order to appreciate this movie.
One of the most striking features of South Park is that it is a musical. When I first saw the film, a musical was the last thing I expected. The songs do not add some emotional depth of the story. For example at the end of the movie Satan, having been intimidated by Saddam Hussein again, singing a song about how you want to live on Earth where everything is clean and quiet and not as lonely as hell. Shortly afterwards, when the kids decide to join and do things right, sing a song about the foot and resisting the war and restoring peace between Canada and the United States. Despite the reputation of South Park, some emotional moments seem unexpected because it is a musical.
Finally, I think the viewer should understand and appreciate Matt Stone and Trey Parker way of expressing the mood to his audience. If the viewer can not do this, then South Park would be a waste of time. If possible, then it is up your alley.
Important factors to consider in the production of films
Those who have graduated from film school studies in the field come dream with enough knowledge about the film and video production. The only difficulty or challenge they face is the lack of availability of funds. The entrance of digital equipment has led to new possibilities for film and video production. The old style of film production based in Hollywood has been displaced by new production methods. There are a lot of possibilities for serious people who know what they are talking about. Financing has become a perennial problem in the film industry. Bankers tend to be at odds with the producers. But today, the trend has been the subject of radical change.
There are a number of film study programs. About 600 colleges and universities in the fields of U.S. conduct for film production. Film and Television School is the oldest film institute affiliated with the University of Southern California. Almost half of the 16,500 students of this university are enrolled in at least one kind of film or TV. These universities have a role to perform. They have to prepare students for the challenges as we enter the entertainment field. According to the website of a university, a degree or diploma obtained after a rigorous course is not only an occupational or professional degree. The curriculum should qualify a student for a variety of career possibilities. A person must be able to use their knowledge in creative and practical ability to exercise judgment and initiative being developed by a college course in film studies.
Of course the movie does not stress the importance of a factor. They do not believe that money is the main force connected to the film and video production. Most undergraduate courses do not pay much attention to the budgets of movies. The issues of cost reports and business plans are set aside and diverted or atleast these holders do not receive priority in the further course syllabus. Better use is only visible in the master's program. The reason for this gap is that the academic stream originates in the Hollywood production groups. The influence of the guilds and unions is responsible for the confidentiality closely guarded production circles. 100% the secret is still practiced in film circles. Despite this, there is a growing clamor to know more about funding and budget filmmaking. The next batch of producers and directors are interested in starting their own projects, the organization of funds, budgets and reports of the total costs involved. Dependent on the Internet for more transactions.
A graduate film school, if you have a complete understanding of course material, as well as film budgets, cost information and business plans, is far from most others. Most students today are budget conscious film, profiles, cost, expense account, the spectrum of projects, etc. .. They show a growing interest in this calculation routine just to increase your reputation as filmmakers. The widespread use of digital infrastructure has created a new vision of film production, which despite being less expensive than the usual Hollywood film productions pattern can not be considered economic in the quantum. It requires heavy financing.
Graduate courses in film to understand the basics of the expenses related to film and video production will realize that they can accept more responsibility for their projects. Your success rate will be more and the graph will show an upward trend compared with the course of peers and colleagues because of their participation in the cost estimates.
These are some of the most important film production. This activity is completed only if the applicants to fame in the different categories of cinema, the best in a full scale to evaluate the budgeting process and the profiles of the benefits.

Film Essay - Veronika Voss
Veronika Voss, directed by Rainer Werner Fassbinder, is a tale of bad humor, but very effective addiction and exploitation. Fassbinder is considered by many as the most famous member of the film movement known as the "New German Cinema." This revolution in the cinema erupted in the 1960s as a reaction to the movies escapist fluff that West Germany had fallen in the wake of the Third Reich, and as a way of taking a stand against the political climate of the time, and against the in power. Veronika Voss was released in 1982, towards the end of the tragically short life of Fassbinder, when he himself was struggling with an addiction that soon killed him. Full of stunning black and white photographs, the film goes back to Hollywood films of the decade of 1950, and is the latest in a Fassbinder film trilogy about the alleged "economic miracle" that was West Germany after the war . Although the film is more accessible than some of his earlier works, Veronika Voss still contains many of the common themes throughout Fassbinder's career, and indeed, all the new German cinema in general. These issues include a distrust of authority, exploitation of the less fortunate, and abuse of power.
Film's main character, Veronica, played by Rosel Zech, is a movie star washing of the Third Reich, now unable to find work, and has become addicted to morphine. Rumors abound that she had an affair with Goebbels during the war, and like many of Fassbinder's earlier movie characters cavorted with the Nazis, who is being punished in the karmic sense. Isolated by her fame, she is desperately seeking "refuge and protection" of the world. She feels persecuted and helpless, having lost his anonymity. In one scene, she is essentially stalked by a couple of women in a jewelry store that in their relentless advance, looking for an autograph, in his attempt to retreat. The "protection" is for two people: Robert, played by Hilmar Thate, a sports journalist offered an umbrella to see her standing in the rain, and Dr. Katz, played by Ana Maria Duringer, her neurologist, who prescribed morphine itself that Veronika is addicted.
The Doctor is the root of corruption in history, as it not only provides the drug to Veronika, who exploits the situation by feeding the former star addiction and dependency use of coercion and blackmail her. So powerful is Dr. Katz grip forces "best friend" Veronika to sign over their money and property. The corruption runs even though, as Robert finds out later, the doctor has been doing a lot worse for her other patients. Once the victim runs out of money, which "accidentally" overdosed on sleeping pills, and "kindly" leave all their possessions to the doctor. Katz and his associates, in turn, live extravagantly at the expense of addicts they have created. His office is particularly striking for a medical center and decorated with expensive furniture. Through this corruption, Fassbinder strongly asserts that authority figures should be questioned and kept under control, or those in power exploit the weak and vulnerable.
Veronika Robert is taken immediately after their meeting, and believes it can help to overcome their problems. Who discovers the plot, but discovers that not only is unable to help, but ends up making things worse, and hurting those around him. He is ready at all times, especially because corruption is much deeper than first thought. Upon discovering Dr. Katz scheme, will be a narcotics administrator for help. Unfortunately, this manager is in the scam as well, and the conspirators are able to thwart Robert completely, and even go so far as to kill his girlfriend, Harriet, to hide the truth. The police, another figure of authority, are completely useless, and I think that nothing says Robert. So complete is the defeat of Robert losing two women in his life: his girlfriend, Veronica, who is a victim of "accidental" Dr. Katz overdose. Although this seems to imply that Fassbinder feels that the fight against corrupt authority is useless, quite the opposite. Fassbinder's claim that the public should not be naive, and must understand the level of corruption that can come, and the extent to which they must be vigilant in protecting their freedoms. Unfortunately, this message is lost in the sad and morbid tone of the film.
The 1970s was a turbulent time for the Federal Republic of Germany. With the widespread fears of terrorism and communism, the government took extraordinary powers, which many, including members of the New German Cinema movement, which is considered too extreme. Many believed that the government was corrupt and could not be trusted. This climate of fear and distrust of authority is clearly reflected in Veronika Voss.
Fassbinder also disagrees with the U.S. presence in West Germany in Veronika Voss. The uniqueness of America, a soldier, is a drug dealer in the league with Dr. Katz. In addition, American music always plays in the office of Dr. Katz, but in no other part of the film, providing clues from the beginning that something is not right. The implication is that U.S. involvement in western Germany is a large part of the corruption of power that is abundant and, moreover, that the Americans are exploiting the Germans for their own purposes and profits. As post-war years progressed, many in West Germany began to see the U.S. as an imperialist power, pulling the strings, and Fassbinder presents dramatically the feeling in this film.
Veronika Voss is actually a film of light and shadow. This is evident even from the opening credits, black as the words float across a white surface, casting shadows in its wake. Fassbinder use of black and white photography is clever and beautiful, and each scene is beautifully lit deliberately. The film is stylish, and the contrast between black and white is used to produce their effects, creating an appearance similar to that of a black film classic. An excellent example of this is the flashbacks, as Veronica remembers better times in his life. They are dramatically lit, around characters with auras of light, and giving each scene an almost heavenly touch. Veronika memory of their time on the film set at the beginning of the movie is the best example of this. The difference is striking when contrasted with the memories today, as Fassbinder do at home. In the past, is warm and bright with lights and different shades, while at present completely dark room, with furniture covered. The office of Dr. Katz is another example of how Fassbinder uses light and darkness to tell her story. The office is completely white and bright, incredibly, however, unlike the flashback scenes, there are no shadows whatsoever. Even the furniture and appliances are white. This creates a cold feeling, as if someone is trying to hide the evil within, under a veneer of sterility.
The weak point of this film lies in the characterizations. While the performance is strong in general, none of the characters are likeable. Veronika is weak and helpless, totally dependent, and always looking for someone to protect her. This, combined with his self-pity, they won the sympathies of the audience. Robert is cold and emotionless, just gather a minor outbreak frustration that nobody believes him. He cheats on his girlfriend without thinking twice, and does not hesitate to endanger it. In many ways is like it as the exploitation of other authority figures who are fighting against. In turn, his girlfriend is submissive, which Robert de cheat without consequences, and basically do what he wants her. Veronika and Robert relationship is also very underdeveloped. There seems to be a great chemistry between the two, and, in fact, have little screen time together. It's hard to imagine what Robert sees convinces him to put his own life and the lives of others in danger.
Despite these weaknesses, it is easy to recommend this film to anyone interested in Fassbinder or New German Cinema. The film is well shot, with a masterful use of black and white lighting. The topics presented are strong and present a convincing portrait of the concerns of many West Germans at the time it was made, in particular the directors of the New German Cinema. In general, the film is well designed, with a solid mystery, a compelling story and strong thematic base.
Tamil film industry and successful heroines
The film industry of Tamil Nadu which is also popularly known as Kollywood is the second in India after Bollywood so the production status is concerned. Tamil films are distributed equally throughout the world and in various places such as Malaysia, Canada, Europe and USA. You can get an account thereof in Tamil cinema news if they are watching TV or reading a newspaper.
The Tamil film industry is properly positioned in Chennai and has a strong history and pulsationg from the moment the first movie was silent in public called "Kichaka Vaadham" in 1916. However, with the introduction of the word in the film, we had one of the hit films first known by the name of "Kalidas". Although these films, the film that led to worldwide fame and acclaim of the Tamil film industry "Chandralekha" which prompted the audience to not finish and were amazed. As a matter of fact, the success of this film paved the way for success and the constancy of this film industry. Besides this, the movie Chandralekha is one of the most expensive films ever made in the particular history of this industry.
You can also find a lot of politicians in Tamil film industry or vice versa can be said that the film begins Kollywood has a deep meaning to politics. You will be surprised to know that many of the themes of Tamil films are inspired by ancient folk songs of Tamil Nadu. We have seen Jayalalitha was a popular Tamil actress before she joined politics. By the way, which is the current chief minister of Tamil Nadu. Since its inception, the Tamil film industry has been connected with politics and many of his characters and movie themes are based on old folk ballads of Tamil Nadu. Karunanidhi, who was the Prime Minister of Tamil Nadu and was a famous film director and also known for writing some of the best scripts for Tamil films. Some of the leading actresses in Tamil movies also can be seen in ads and some of them act as ambassadors for the brand of consumer goods companies in India and around the world. We can now read about some of the famous Tamil heroines or higher and if you can get an account from the same movie reviews, this edition will provide an overview of them.
Currently, Anushka is the heroine in Kollywood and the top according to the news film that probably has canceled a Bollywood film offer for what it is capable of acting in a Tamil film, which also shows their dedication to the industry film as a whole. She almost comparable to Hema Malini one of the actresses of yesteryear said. Trisha is another heroine who is also very popular, but some of his recent films did not fare well at the box office. Tamanna is also an actress in Kollywood and said two of the films she's working on now is eagerly awaited by the public.
Why you should watch Bollywood DVDs
Bollywood is the Indian equivalent of Hollywood. Bollywood produces about 1,000 films a year.
If you go to see Bollywood India everywhere, from huge billboards of magazine covers and advertisements for soft drinks and televisions. Bollywood is everywhere.
Although Hollywood has a wider audience, but Bollywood has an attraction that Hollywood can not ignore. A lot of companies are actively investing money Hollywood in Bollywood. Some of these companies are: 20th Century Fox, Sony Entertainment, Warner Brothers, Disney, etc.
The Indians who live in Western countries have helped to become global Bollywood. Bollywood movies are now commonly in the movie screens in the UK, USA and Canada. You can go to any big city and it is likely that cinemas show the latest versions of Bollywood.
If you do not often go to movies and I like Indian movies, you can always rent or buy movies new and old Bollywood in cities with significant Indian population. Whenever there are shops that sell and rent Indian movies on DVD in these cities. Bollywood is part of Indian culture, even if you live abroad.
If you live in a city or a small town with no shops selling Indian Bollywood DVDs then you can buy online your favorite movie in India. There are many online stores that sell DVDs of Bollywood. But you need to shop around and find the right shop. There are big differences in prices between the stores. Some online stores are priced by the clouds of Bollywood films. This is because buyers do not know that there are other options on the Internet. Buyers will be the first website to find and I think it's the website that has the best selection and because it is on the first page of search engines, then it must be a good website. But if you scroll down or go to second or third page, including search engines, find jewelry stores online. You can save more than half the money just take your time and shop around before you actually buy the DVD you want. There are online stores that sell only the latest versions. But there are also online stores that sell old movies in black and white and new.
As a Indian Bollywood film fan you will be surprised to know that there are a lot of Westerners, non-Indians who buy old movies of Bollywood.

Best Romance movies to see a man
This is a plea to all men out there to his beloved wife or girlfriend please let us compromise on the best romantic movies to watch. We, the men sat through the movie overboard and Fifty First Dates, maybe I should explain more about the issue.
It is a fact that women dress to please others better men and women dress their best to please women. With this in mind more or less men will do anything to please women. Even cheesy romance movies with our favorite girl. "Caramel" movies that men never see for themselves and definitely never with friends.
Of course, we, the people will say yes to a romantic movie with you, but you ladies should understand that men (and I think I speak for most of us) have a limited attention span when it comes to movies. If the movie does not have a car chase, shoot out, much blood and gore, outrageous comedy or a bikini or two male mind drifting elsewhere. Which reminds me, please do not ask any questions about the romantic movie we just saw.
So what say that in our next choice of the best romance movie that we commit and go for a romance / comedy or romance / action or romance / comedy / action? Bikinis are not a priority!
Actually, I really like the movie overboard and Fifty First Dates, but along with those who have any other suggestions of the best romantic movies list here ....

Baja Zune - The rise, fall and resurgence of Bangla Cinema
The film industry in India, Bangladesh is more commonly known as Tollywood, the words Tollygunge and Hollywood. Tollygunge is an area in Kolkata, West Bengal in India, where the majority of Bengali movie studios are based. In fact, Baja Zune is the first of Hollywood inspired by the name prior to the most popular Mumbai-based Bollywood.
Bangladesh's first feature was a silent film called Bilwamangal, produced by Madan Theatre Company in Calcutta, Hiralal Sen recognized as one of the first film directors in India, Bangladesh.
The "talkies" began to flourish in the 1930s, with most of them made in Urdu or Persian to accommodate market demands. It did not take time to talk or Bangla movies talkies to get done with the film production Shasthi Jamai, a short film released in April 1931. A few months later, the first feature film was released Bangla. Dena Paona released in December 1931 in Chitra Cinema Hall in Calcutta.
The golden age of Bangla Natok happened from 1952 to 1975. This period was marked by outstanding filmmakers Bangla production of his most critically acclaimed and become influential not only India but all over the world. Perhaps the most important figure during this time was the director Satyajit Ray prolific. Due to such classics as the Apu trilogy, which received numerous awards worldwide, including the Honor Award of the Academy, India's Bharat Ratna, and the Legion of Honor of France. He opened the way for other filmmakers Bangla reach a global audience.
The Bengali film industry went through a decline that began in the 1980s, when Hindi films became more popular. Until the late 20th century, which was struggling due to inadequate distribution infrastructure.
Today, there seems to be a conscious effort of the new directors to produce not only movies in the Bengali language, but showing a different environment Bangla.
Dhallywood - A Brief History of Bangladesh Bangla Cinema
Based in Dhaka, the capital of Bangladesh, Bangla film called Dhallywood, Dhaka, the word and Hollywood.
Already in 1898, movies are shown and in Dhaka in the Crown Theatre Bioscope Company Bradford. Established in 1898 in Calcutta by Hiralal Sen, the Royal Bioscope Company was the first Bengali organization for producing and exhibiting films. Although the films were in Bengali, the production work is mainly in Calcutta. First notable films made in Dhaka are Sukumari and the last kiss, produced by the Nawab family in 1928 and 1931, respectively.
Picture House, which began operations in 1913, was the first permanent cinema in Dhaka. House renamed new image, and later, Shabistan. The film industry has grown so rapidly that in 1947, there were around 80 cinemas in the area that is now Bangladesh.
Partition of India in 1947, the area was known as East Pakistan. The first film after the partition was a newsreel about the visit of Mohammad Ali Jinnah. The first feature film with sound came much later. Launched in 1956, the film Mukh O Mukhosh was based on the work of its director Abdul Jabbar Khan Dakaat (thieves). More movies that took place in the 1960 total annual production reached 35 films a year.
The number continued to increase when East Pakistan gained independence and became Bangladesh in 1971. One of the first films produced after this tumultuous time was Titash Ekti Nadir Naam (a river called Titas) by Ritwik Ghatak the great director.
Unfortunately, contemporary Bangla Natok from Bangladesh has become more commercial in nature. The industry has been criticized by the recent poor quality of the films focus only on the melodrama, sex and violence. Currently, the industry produces an average of 100 films a year, where the average budget per movie is 6.5 million Bangladesh taka.

There is hope for Bangla Film achieve acceptance in the world of Bollywood
When a non-indigenous asked about Indian films, most likely he will think of Bollywood. This is the challenge facing Bangla movie now - to be recognized throughout the world, unlike the film industry of Hindi language based in Mumbai.
Obviously, the Bengali film industry can not compete in terms of striking successes and budget. The budget of Rs 3 crores and is considered very expensive for a Bangla film, while other films in other regional and Bollywood cinema has an average expenditure of Rs 40 crores per film, with the most expensive budgets reach Rs 100 crores .
Therefore, Bangla natok should stick to its main strengths and skills strong script and plots of the authors and storytelling techniques masterful directors. Clearly, one can not rely on star power provided by the actors and actresses alone. It is worth remembering that the best films of Bangla as the Apu Trilogy, were made with a budget.
Apart from a narrow plot simple but effective narration, now Bangla filmmakers should make films that evoke the Bengali culture, atmosphere and character if the language of the film is in Bengali, Hindi, or English. Especially effective is the contemporary romance and fast-paced action movies starring younger actors. This technique will work as evidenced by the success of the film director Sandip Ray when contemporized the plot of his films. To make matters worse, directors and producers should also reach the festival circuit not only more funds but also to present quality works Bangla to foreign markets.
There are indications that the industry can compete Bengali. He is currently finding its way to the re-emergence of the dark ages of the 80 and 90. Since 2008, some 700 of the 800 movie theaters nationwide were the Bangla films. If this trend continues, Bangla cinema can be on par with Bollywood in terms of exposure and acceptance, for the first time in the domestic market and followed by the rest of the world.
William Fruet Weekend of Death (La Casa del Lago) - 1976
The Lake House (also known as weekend death) is an intense suspense survival drama directed by Canadian author William Fruet (who also created the drama of 1972 white wedding, the funeral creepy, and the murderer telepathic snake show spasms) and fantastic Brenda Vaccaro (fresh from his Oscar nominated role in Once Is Not Enough) and a real menacing Don Stroud (Bloody Mama, The Amityville Horror) in a deadly game, terrible cat and mouse.
Weekend death made some small critical acclaim when it opened in 1976, but was considered, however repugnant to many who could not handle his sexual blatant violence and brutality. (Interestingly, American film debut title The Lake House was a marketing attempt to build on the success of the equally brutal Wes Craven The Last House on the Left. ) If you can imagine Sam Peckinpah's Straw Dogs set in Canada and with a female protagonist of resources (Vaccaro), which is on track to imagine death. They were still based on a true Fruet happened in her native Canada, and the film has a realistic level of ugliness that was rare in the 70 movies and still going to hit today.
Weekend begins with the death of beautiful model Diane (Vaccaro) and hot dentist Harry (Chuck Shamata) accelerate the field happily on their way to the opulence of Harry (and very isolated) assets of a lavish party hosted by the orthodontist rich. After Diane auto enthusiast takes the wheel, the two are contested by four thugs thin in a red pickup a game of chicken, which is all set to Diane. After outdriving leering bullies and takes them to a ditch, Diane and Harry come home - and Diane soon begins to suspect that things are not what they seem to discover that there are no other customers have come to hit is Harry. As luck would have for our hero, Harry becomes a degree that fits a pervert lewd pictures of her in the shower in a secret room behind a two-way mirror and has no intentions of the other guests arrive, preferring to Diane has to himself.
Diane is shocked when he realizes the true motives of Harry and prepares to leave, but she and Harry made a surprise visit for the same underworld quartet terrified beasts on the road before. No wild-eyed leader Lep (Don Stroud), Runt errors with glasses and eye (Richard Ayres), laughing group of clowns Stanley (Don Granberry) and rotten teeth numbskull Frankie (Kyle Edwards), and none of them has the slightest regard for the safety and respect for others. The thugs torment Harry and Diane, holding them captive, and frolicking in the entire property and destroy everything that comes into contact with. Harry tries to negotiate with them and offer them money for your wrecked car if you are just out, but the four crazed villains have other plans in mind - including rape and shoot Diane Harry to death with a rifle. In the end, it's up to Diane to fight for his life against the insane ... and the child does it ever attract a booby-trapped by a fire in, quicksand, and the throat open with a piece of mirror in his attempted rape of Runt, even cutting back.
Death Weekend awards received from Sitges - International Film Festival of Catalonia in 1976 for Best Actress (Vaccaro) and Best Screenplay (Fruet) and deserved the two, Vaccaro, in particular. Her performance as Diane carefree model is immersed in a desperate fight for his life and sanity with four vicious thugs is powerful and real, easily able to engage the audience in your situation. Don Stroud distilled fierce machismo and the threat as Lep reckless sociopath who has little regard for human life and can not stand the fact that a girl like Diane can outdrive - the final blow to his ego narcissist. Chuck Shamata (The Devil and Max Devlin) is convincing as the financial security that Harry is horrified to see their prized possessions - including his luxury motor boat and works of art - cruelly destroyed by the League of brutes.
Weekend death has run for years on VHS and still have not seen a DVD release, so it has become a coveted collector's item. It's hard to believe as a fascinating, well-made thriller has been ignored by distributors for so long, and I think it's worth the high price to be paid these days to buy a copy. Weekend death is always tense, harrowing and brilliantly acted, and the rate is 8.5 out of 10.
Bangla Cinema - Definition, history and celebrities Canada
Bangla cinema refers to films made in the Bengali language in the Bengal region of Asia. One of the first film industries in India. The Bengali film industry is based on two areas: Tollygunge (an area in south Kolkata, West Bengal) and Dhaka (capital of Bangladesh).
Its origins go back when the "Bioscope" was established as an additional attraction to theater in the 1890s. Royal Bioscope Company established by Hiralal Sen, is credited with starting the industry. Later, in 1918, Dhirendra Nath Ganguly established Indo British Film Co. is the first company-owned production Bangla.
At first, the early incarnations of Bangla cinema produced scenes and dance sequences Bengali plays at the Theatre Star Theatre, Minerva, and Classical Theatre.
The first feature film was Billwamangal Bengali, made a silent film in 1919 and produced by Madan Theatre Company Calcutta. But since this is a silent film, perhaps technically, the difference goes to the Shashthi Jamal, a film or a sound talkie released in 1931. Popular Bengali film directors at this time included Debaki Pramathesh Barua and Bose.
In the decade of 1950, the Bengali film industry pioneered the "parallel cinema" movement. Also known as the Indian New Wave, this movement is characterized films with serious content, realism, and the description of socio-political climate of the time. From Bangla natok, the movement spread to the rest of the other film industries in India, providing an alternative to the general rate.
Classic Bangla films include Nagarik (1952), Jalsaghar (1958), Ajantrik (1958), Neel Akash Neechey (1959), Devi (1960), Meghe Dhaka Tara (1960) The Apu Trilogy (1955-1959), and the Calcutta Trilogy (1971-1976).
Notable Bengali filmmakers include Satyajijt Ray, Ritwik Ghatak, Mrinal Sen, Tapan Sinha, Budhhadeb Dasgupta, Rajen Tarafdar, Gautam Ghosh, Aparna Sen, Chakrabarty Utpalendu, Rituparno Ghosh, Sandip Ray, and Senator Raja
Canada - surrealist art
Canada Film is a miniature fireball of genius filmmaking. The spectacle of visual aesthetics. A "little giant" in the film industry that is universally known as the Hong Kong cinema. No other film in the world has realized the great variety of methods of film as good as Hong Kong. All parties. In all cultures. It sailed between the fight against the currents that flow of ideas without prejudice to its core and identity. From the strong focus on Hollywood action movie stunts dream of Chinese cinema, Hong Kong has perfected the formula for rapid surrealist art. Catnip for movie fans with short attention spans.
The industry of Hong Kong in the film is a canvas of its rich heritage. Comprised of the different countries they occupied. The unique blend of Eastern and Western influences is what distinguishes it from other Chinese cinema as Taiwan and China. During the transfer of sovereignty in the late 90's, the film industry suffered a setback shortly. Hong Kong cinema has since recovered. His comeback has been credited to its resilience and smart marketing strategies. The merging of television, music industry and the cinema of Hong Kong helped keep afloat in the current business climate problems.
HK cinema has come up with some great classics that have influenced Western cinema. For example, "House of Flying Daggers" is a film made in 2004. It's an action movie and romance, which had great success in Canada and U.S. markets as well. Surprisingly, the film did so well in these countries even though people did not understand Kantonese had to read subtitles to understand the story.
Westernized films like Kill Bill also shown. You will be able to recognize the Asian style of the film, however, the film was made in English. This shows the degree of influence of art and style of Hong Kong cinema was in the films of this era.
In conclusion, HK cinema is a less subtle but pervasive entertainment. It has avoided the pitfalls of complexity while capturing the imagination of audiences around the world. The films are very artificial visual escape the sad reality of life. An effective film production confronts reality with the surreal images screen aesthetics and art. HK film is effective because it does not pretend to be something it is not. The disconnect between reality and fiction is clearly shown in full-blown Technicolor. Like magic. Nothing more. Nothing less. And like any magic show, his reverence can only be achieved through complete abandonment of logical thought.
6 worst movies in the history of cinema
Here is the list of the worst movies ever hit the big screen.
1) Plan 9 From Outer Space
Thanks to its mumbled plot, unbelievably odd dialogue, awkward acting, production design cheesy, ridiculous special effects, the low-budget film of 1956 was announced on several occasions, including an episode of Seinfeld, as the worst film ever has been done and the honor of its creator, Ed Wood, as worst director in movie history. Plan 9, in short, tells the story of the invaders that seek to take over the world and bring people from the dead. The main role of an elder in a Dracula costume, which is coming out of the dead was shared by still photos of the late actor Bela Lugosi and younger, tall and bald Tom Mason.
2) The Conqueror
Although El Conquistador is the opposite of a low budget film as Howard Hughes had invested in it close to $ 12 million in 1956, but offered great Hollywood star John Wayne as Genghis Khan, conqueror remains one of the biggest disasters in the history of cinema. When added to its unreliability, bad acting, ridiculous dialogue and custom design incredibly stupid rumors that the shooting at a range of nuclear tests caused the death of his cast of cancer. And when you consider the fact that production was the last film that Hughes later became an oddball loner, the result has to be a big hug or a cult film.
3) Che!
1969, Che! is another biography which prefers to ignore the historical facts and represent people who live in a ridiculous manner. In this particular case, Omar Sharif poorly plays Che Guevara while Jack Palance demonstrates his comedic talents in the role of Fidel Castro. At the same time, the writers have chosen to ignore the historical facts trivial as all the pre training Cuban revolution. In addition, Che! film was considered offensive in the countries of South America and the Argentine public who welcomed with Molotov cocktails.
4) Brightness
The film acting debut of singer Mariah Carey from 2001 had entered the list of the worst films to establish new standards of sentimental kitsch cliché anyway? gender of the rise to fame of a poor but talented girl. Brightness, obviously, the objectives of their preteen fans, is the only way to explain the holes in the plot, characters banal, not to mention acting and poor direction.
5) Gigli
The huge media attention given to the main stars of Gigli: Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck, or Bennifer, it helps to become one of the biggest box office failures of the 2000s. In theory, the original script had the potential to become a decent black comedy. However, the changes, the script was written for no reason and added some romantic scenes have been added in order to attract readers of the magazines. The result was so bad that Lopez acting seemed a proof of delicacy and talent compared to other performances.
6) Swept Away
In 2002, it was clear that only a miracle could save Madonna's acting career to be remembered as a sequence of embarrassing failures. The remake of 1974 Italian film of the same name directed by Guy Ritchie, her husband and to Swept Away was released a critically acclaimed director was not the miracle they were waiting, unless you were hoping to the name of Madonna as worst actress in film history.
More than a century 3D Media
3D movies, and live broadcasts and television studio with the equipment used in 3D theaters and homes are without doubt in the public opinion here in 2011. But despite the current S3D (3D stereo) the technology is new, the history of 3D motion pictures goes back more than a century.
Around the turn of the 20th century, the British film pioneer William Friese-Greene filed a patent for a process of dual-projector 3D film. Frederick Eugene Ives subsequently proposed a stereo camera platform with 1.75in length lenses.
In 1915, Edwin S Porter and William Waddell E 3D test reel shown to an audience at the Astor Theatre in New York. But this proved a dead end. The first commercial 3D film seems to have been demonstrated in September 1922 to an audience in Los Angeles, and during the two years following a series of short, using a variety of different 3D technologies shown in cinemas.
Stereoscopic 3D and still images
There are several basic approaches to stereoscopy, including:
Freeviewing - seeing a couple of images without a viewfinder, which means viewers to cross or diverge the eyes to get the images to match the illusion of depth.
Stereographic cards and the stereoscope - the stereoscope and reduces eye strain by using a magnifying lens, the image appears larger and more real.
Viewers of transparency - in the 1930s, manufacturers launched viewers designed to work with stereo pairs transparency. A decade later, an improved version of the technology was launched, the success and longevity View-Master.
3D film technology
Polarization - In early 1930, Edwin H. Earth was producing its first products under the Polaroid brand polarized, and saw the possibilities of stereoscopic applications. Two synchronized copies of the film were projected using a special motor selsyn in a silver screen - polarized 3D movies do not work in a regular white screen.
Between 1936 and the beginning of World War II, filmmakers in Europe and USA use the technologies of the earth.
Anaglyph - family glasses with lenses of red and green or red and blue cardboard mounted surrounds are typical of the technology used in the first Anaglyph 3D movies in the 1950s. Later in the decade, films bias embraced the technology as an alternative of better quality, and rebirth in 3D for 80 to 90 years also opted for polarizing glasses as the user interface.
Stereo 3D (S3D) - two normal HD cameras are in approximately the same distance as human eyes - sometimes more, sometimes less, depending on the shot. Digital post-production allows the director of publishing and other evolve the program. S3D projectors and televisions ended S3D decrypt the data and display the images on the screen. Today, the most common display technology uses polarized glasses to view stereoscopic images, but you can use anaglyph glasses or active. Without glasses technology is being developed.
3D films into the mainstream
3D films into the mainstream in the 1950's with the color characteristics in the first place, although the earliest examples of black and white back in late 1940. While 3D movies were important in American cinema over the decade, the process proved too expensive and the results too uncertain to support 3D in the mainstream.
Later, during the 1980's and 90's, IMAX and Disney themed sites, and 3D brought to light for film and specialized presentations based on technology with active glasses synchronized with the 3D software.
It was not until after the turn of the millennium for 3D movies to return to the mainstream, using current technology Stereo 3D can be equally applied in broadcast applications and home theater. Ten years into the new millennium, we are able to see many mainstream films in 3D in our local theaters, and buy 3D TVs in every street.
3D seems here to stay once.
