“Cutting the Cord”

By on September 25, 2012 in Entertainment, Movies, Television

It was just yesterday that I was sharing my experience of “cutting the cord” with my mother.  It was almost a year ago that I cut the cord.  I can’t say that it was something that I was looking forward to, but now that I’m cable free for almost a year, I feel FREE!! I bet you thought I was talking about the umbilical cord for a minute!

Well, Clark Howard beat me to the punch! Check out this brief video of Clark’s thoughts on “Cutting the Cord”

Clark Howard explains ‘poor man’s pay tv’

In my opinion, it doesn’t matter how much or how little money you make.  The amount of money spent on cable TV is exorbitant.  I was paying around $180 for Cable TV, Phone and Internet.  I didn’t need the phone, but I found that when I purchased these services separately, the cost was actually HIGHER than without the phone.

Now, I have an HD Digital Antenna(One time $30), Clear Wireless Internet ($50/month), Hulu Plus($8.00/month) and Netflix ($17.00/month for streaming + 1 DVD/Blu-Ray).  While I don’t have a home phone, I’m saving over $100 per month.  My cell phone does the trick, especially for the amount of money I pay.

R.I.P. Michael Clarke Duncan

By on September 3, 2012 in Movies, Random, Television, Video Games

Michael Clarke Duncan passed away this evening.  He was widely known for his role in The Green Mile.  I’ve yet to see this movie, but I have seen him in many other roles.

If you’ve not had the chance to experience Mr. Duncan’s powerful acting skills, I encourage to celebrate his life by checking out a few of the flicks he has appeared in.  I definitely plan on watching The Green Mile, finally!

Believe it or not, you might him from appearances in The Suite Life of Zack and Cody, the voice of Commander Vachir in Kung Fu Panda, the voice of Benjamin King in Saints Row (video game), the voice of Clydesdale in Racing Stripes and more family/kid/teen related roles.

For a complete filmography head over to IMDB.

I always like reading bios of actors and actresses when I watch movies.  For me I find it fascinating.

Disneynature: Chimpanzee In Theaters NOW

By on April 20, 2012 in Movies

Disneynature’s Chimpanzee is in theaters now. Narrated by Tim Allen, Chimpanzee is the fourth True Life Adventure from Disneynature.

Disneynature takes moviegoers deep into the forests of Africa with “Chimpanzee,” a new True Life Adventure introducing an adorable young chimpanzee named Oscar and his entertaining approach to life in a remarkable story of family bonds and individual triumph.  Oscar’s playful curiosity and zest for discovery showcase the intelligence and ingenuity of some of the most extraordinary personalities in the animal kingdom. Working together, Oscar’s chimpanzee family – including his mom, Isha, and the group’s savvy leader, Freddy – navigates the complex territory of the forest.

The world is a playground for little Oscar and his fellow young chimpanzees, who’d rather make mayhem than join their parents for an afternoon nap. But when Oscar’s family is confronted by a rival band of chimpanzees, he is left to fend for himself until a surprising ally steps in and changes his life forever. 

For everyone who sees Disneynature CHIMPANZEE during opening week (April 20-April 26, 2012), Disneynature will contribute $.20 per ticket to the Jane Goodall Institute for the Disneynature Tchimpounga Nature Reserve Project with a minimum of $100,000 pledged to this program.
