American Idol Season 11

The month of January is exciting for many reasons.  It marks a new year.  Winter weather usually brings a little (or a lot) of snow in January, oh and one of the biggest singing competitions ever premiers as well.  That is right my television loving friends, American Idol is back for an eleventh season this year.  Grab the popcorn, get the remote and turn on the adt security in connecticut, it is time to watch one of the most watched reality competitions on television.  The show will have a two night premier January 18th and 19th on FOX, so get ready to see just how great and how awful...

Apple Products in Movies

During my relaxing time spent with relatives in Virginia over the holidays, we took a lot of long walks down country roads, listened to music, dreamed beside fireplaces, and yes, caught up on a lot of movies.  I hadn’t realized how many of 2011′s hit films I’d missed until we broke out their DVD library and began to catch me up on some cinematic experiences that got by me due to work and other obligations.  I couldn’t, however, leave work completely behind.  As a writer, and one who really loves writing about technology, I found myself noticing all the gadgets and...

The Netflix Option

Before you start laughing, please take a moment to suspend your disbelief at what I’m about to present.  This website is all about offering alternative forms of entertainment during times of economic stress and uncertainty, and that’s why I’m about to suggest you look into Netflix as an alternative to your exorbitant cable movie channel subscription fee.  If you had the good sense to drop the premium cable channels earlier last year, then I’m proposing Netflix as a replacement for Redbox.    Basically, Netflix has a lot going for it despite the bad rap it incurred...

Jersey Shore Cast Calling It Quits?

Rumors are circulating about the current cast of the MTV hit reality show Jersey Shore, and this time they aren’t about whether Sammi and Ronnie are together or not.  According to sources like Hollywood Life, the cast of Seaside Heights, New Jersey guidos and guidettes are considering calling it quits after season 5.  Why, oh why?  It is no secret that the cast are all pursuing their own career goals with books, gigs, fragrance, and more.  It has even been mentioned that they are not as close as they had been in the past, so I suppose it only makes sense that they go their separate...

Pentatonix on The Sing Off

Tonight is the season finale of my favorite musical talent show ever, The Sing Off.  The talent on this show is absolutely unbelievable.  Each of the performing groups do not only sing, but they also create the music behind the songs with their voices.  That’s right, all voices creating incredible sounds and music for you, the viewer, to enjoy.  This year has been no different from the previous two.  All of the groups are individual but still have impressive skills.  Of course, I still have a favorite to win it this year.  The group Pentatonix is the smallest group left on the...

Watch This!

Watching television is probably my favorite pastime.  I know it sounds lame, but I feel like I should go ahead and admit it.  Right now I am hooked on shows that show real people doing really stupid things.  It makes sense because I remember when I was a little kid my whole family would gather around and watch “America’s Funniest Home Videos.”  Well, now all these videos are uploaded online, and I don’t have time to go about searching for video clips all day.  That’s where television comes into play.  There are two shows that I really enjoy watching that do...
