Pixie Fun: Tinkerbell

By Steve Collins

Tinkerbell is one of the best-known characters in the world. She was created by J.M. Barrie in his play "Peter Pan" in 1904 and initially envisioned as a ball of light. Since her debut, she has been featured in numerous films and television shows. J.M. Barrie also included her in a novel called "Peter and Wendy" in 1911. Originally, she was little more than a secondary character. That all changed when she was featured in the 1953 animated film PETER PAN. Disney made her a pivotal character in the movie despite the fact that she does not say a single word!

Since that time, this sprite has become a symbol for all things Disney. At the beginning of many Disney television shows, you can see her fly across the screen and use her magic wand. If you ever visit Disney World, you will see her fly across the sky during the nightly fireworks spectacular. She has truly become one of the most recognizable characters in the world.

Recently it was announced that Tinkerbell would star in her own animated film. The project got off to a bit of a difficult start. Some people at Disney talked about shutting it down all together. The budget for the movie had jumped to well over $50 million. These woes eventually led Disney to declare that they would no longer make straight to DVD sequels. However, the project persevered. This version of Tinkerbell features the groundbreaking animation techniques pioneered by Pixar. Not only will Tinkerbell be rendered in 3D, she will also be talking throughout the film.

The cast and crew were moved around significantly during the making of the film. Brittany Murphy was originally slated to play the role of Tinkerbell. She was eventually replaced by Mae Whitman. They went through 12 different directors and a number of supporting actors. Eventually, they settled on Raven Symone, Anjelica Huston, Jesse McCartney, and America Ferrera to name a few.

TINKERBELL the movie is bound to be a tremendous hit for Disney. If you would like to check out this movie, consider the Disney Movie Club. With the Disney Movie Club, you can get the latest Disney releases delivered to your home. You can watch the entire Disney collection from the comfort of your own living room.

Download Games for iPhone - Where to Get Free Games

By Davion W

If you are a game fanatic and an iPhone user at the same time, you can go to sites where you can download games for iPhone. These websites have different arrangements. From some, you can get your games absolutely free while from some, you will be charged. The rates might vary from the type of download that you will avail. For you to find something cheaper, it will only take a through search and you will surely find a site where you can get games for the price of peanuts.

Whenever you want to, you can download games for your iPhone from the net. One thing that you should be cautious about is the fact that most of the times; these free sites do not have much to offer but plenty of ads and pop-ups. These stuffs will tend to annoy you because of their persistence.

More likely, these websites are only after earning money from those ads. You will not find them helpful; therefore, they are not worth spending your time with.

In my experience, most of these so called free sites do not really have much to offer. They promote free game downloads for iPhone; but when you log on; you won't find a wide selection of games. There might be 2 to 3 games that you can get for free. As for the others, you will be charged. The worse thing is that most of these games do not have very good quality.

There is also a risk that you will download something that comes along with a virus or a malware. This is the usual risk when you go to a free site. Sometimes, a totally free item is not really worth the trust.

If you want quality downloads, you can consider the new sites that have been established on the World Wide Web. Most of them are becoming hot on the net and they give good and honest service. You would only be required to pay for the membership which is quite reasonable. Afterwards, you can start to download unlimited iPhone games.

Another good thing about these new sites is that the download speed is really fast and the quality of the games is superb. The membership fee of $40, more or less is really worth it. They also provide technical support and you can contact them every time you are having problems with regards to their service.

I have the list of decent sites where you can download games for iPhone. To know what they are, please check on my blog.

The Incredible Incredibles

By Fabian Toulouse

In 2004, Walt Disney released THE INCREDIBLES to tremendous worldwide acclaim. Following the misfortunes of a superhero family forced to live as a "normal" family, this story was penned and directed by SIMPSONS veteran writer Brad Bird.

This film was the sixth Pixar co-production under the Walt Disney banner. Not only did it enjoy tremendous box office success, THE INCREDIBLES launched a massive merchandising campaign that had children and adults scrambling for everything from cups to pajamas to toys to watches. In a relatively short amount of time it has climbed its way to the Disney animated classic designation.

The film starts with a bang as Mr. Incredible, on his way to his wedding, swoops in to save a man falling from a building. In the process of saving him, Mr. Incredible inadvertently damages a passenger train. Following his wedding, he and his superhero cohorts are slapped with lawsuits. It turns out the falling man was trying to commit suicide and feels his rights were infringed and the train passengers filed for millions in damages. Reacting to the public outcry, the government is forced to declare superhero-ism illegal and forces them to live in hiding.

Craig T. Nelson, of COACH fame, voices Mr. Incredible, while Academy award-winner Holly Hunter voices his wife, Elastigirl. They have two children, Dash and Violet, who were born with super powers but are forbidden to use them. Their baby Jack Jack, seems to be a normal child, much to the chagrin of Mr. Incredible. They are all forced to live as "normal" people, working normal lives.

A jealous fan of Mr. Incredible is determined, after being inadvertently snubbed, to create his own superpowers and seek vengeance. He lures unsuspecting superheroes to his island lair in order to test his superhero killing machine. Mr. Incredible who is eager to get back to the life he knew, accepts a mission to the island to investigate. Little does he know he is being lured to his death.

In the meantime, Helen (Elastigirl) does her best to hold down the home front. She is oblivious to the significance of his business trips (she starts to worry he's been unfaithful) until she notices a tear in her husband's old superhero outfit. Furious that he's put the family in jeopardy, she hops a plane to confront him.

As it happens, Dash and Violet stow away on the plane. Before they touch down, however, the plane is attacked and the children find themselves in a life and death situation. Helen has to quickly train them to work together to survive. This brings each character out of their respective shells, enabling them to use their powers. Can they band together in time to save Mr. Incredible? Can they survive long enough to save the planet? This Disney animated classic is a must-have for the entire family.

Everyone Wants To Know More About People In The Limelight

By Russell S Stewart

It is a fact that people in the limelight always make news. Whatever they do or say or even whatever they do not do or do not say all makes news.

You and I would love to know more about what Angelina or Boyzone band or even what ageing former James Bond Roger Moore do or say. Gossip makes the world keep going, they say and it may be true.

Media keeps track of whatever is happening in tinsel town and Hollywood and uses this information to make their production popular and read by thousands of people. Today websites dealing with celebrity news, gossip, videos and the like make hot reading. One such website is www.tophotceleb.com which gives daily posts on celebrity watching and also invites comments on the news.

Ali Lohan, the supermodel has been featured on the cover of the Supermodels magazine. But the post questions her right to be there and wonders who decided to take her on the cover as she is dumb, can't act, can't sing and can't even talk. It further maligns her saying that she is not good-looking and cannot possibly be a top model on her own steam but she has reached where she is just because of her sister Lindsay who was very good during her hey days. Even what she said about her family (that they are absolutely normal and not some freaks which some tabloids have called them) makes news and she has been quoted.

Model Ali Lohan has been featured on the cover of Supermodels magazine but the post on her says that she can't act, she is dumb and she has reached the top because of her sister Lindsay who was good during her heydays. The blog says that Lohan cannot sing, act, dance or even talk properly. The writer has called her ugly and has quoted, ' The reality show I am doing with my family is a great way to show that we are actually a normal family and not some freaks the tabloids make us out to be.' That is the kind of gossip and news that this website features but it is fun to read.

Everything that Angelina Jolie says makes news. In an interview with the BBC, she is reported to have said that she wants to fade out of the limelight to look after her large family of six kids. She wants to stay at home, be a housewife, spend time with her family and maybe enjoy becoming a grandmother. It is a bit difficult for anyone to really believe that Angelina may really say quits to her career and go away. She has not really said that but the news is that she may be thinking of doing it. You should know the whole context in which she said this and not read it in isolation.

It is not only celebrity news in this website. There are other pieces of information of what is happening round the world. UK is facing problems of space to bury its dead. There are more deaths than space for new graves. UK is seriously considering tampering with the mortal remains of the dead people. The authorities will give permission for local authorities to excavate the older graves to make way for new ones. The remains of the earlier graves will be buried deeper in the ground. The headstones may be changed; new ones may be put in their place or names added.

All in all this website is a good mixture of news and views, of celebrities and their doings, and of funny news and videos. Ought to make good reading.

Monsters Incorporated

By Fabian Toulouse

Leaping from closets across the country, MONSTERS INC. hit the theaters running in 2001. It opened to positive reviews and tremendous audience approval. Co-produced by Pixar and Disney, the film went on to gross more than $524 million -- rivaling only "The Lion King" in terms of overall box office gross. It also went on to win an Oscar for Best Original Song.

Monsters, Inc. is the power station fueling the great city of Monsteropolis (think New York circa 1940). The blue-collar monsters employed at Monsters, Inc. clock in every day to power-up the city with the bottled screams of human children. Can you recall those dreaded nights you swore something was moving in the closet? Well, little did you know your screams would be juicing up a city of monsters. Had you had the presence of mind to swipe at them, you would have had them running for their lives. Common monster wisdom believes humans are highly toxic. Should they ever touch a human, its off to the quarantine room.

So it happens that one fateful shift, Monster Inc.'s best and brightest, Sulley (voiced by John Goodman), accidentally brings a human child back to Monsteropolis. In a frightful panic, he hides her with the help of his good buddy, Mike (voiced by Billy Crystal). They soon discover humans are not toxic after all -- in fact, making them laugh generates more power than a scream ever could. Sulley and Mike hatch a plan to disguise Boo as a monster to get her back home, but the no-good monster Randall Boggs (voiced by Steve Buscemi) has devised a power extractor that can double the scream-based fuel systems.

Sulley smuggles Boo straight to the CEO of Monsters Inc., where he is roped into teaching the new recruits some basic scare tactics. Seeing his frightening display, Boo blows her cover by bursting into tears. Sulley soon discovers the CEO, working along with Randall, is behind the new scream extractor but not before Boo is taken from him. He and Mike are quickly exiled to the Himalayas, where they begin to search frantically for the portal that will get them back to Monsteropolis in time to save Boo. Can they get back to Boo in time? What will happen to the children of the world if the scream extractor works?

This fluid film was the end-product of the hard work of the digital masters at Pixar. A great example of their meticulous work is Sulley's luxurious fur coat. The programmers rendered over two million individual hairs to give him a completely lifelike look and feel. Pixar invented a proprietary program called RenderMan DSO (Dynamic Shared Object) that effectively distributed the hair on any given character and added depth to the renderings. The end effect is a stunning film that doesn't disappoint.

The Parent Trap

By Fabian Toulouse

Two plus two equals four and Disney plus families equals great entertainment. From theme parks to resorts to cruises and more, parents can be assured their children are only exposed to quality content and entertainment. Films like THE SHAGGY DOG, FREAKY FRIDAY, and HOMEWARD BOUND all come to mind -- and that's not even touching upon the animated features. The latest in the long line of family-friendly titles is THE PARENT TRAP.

Both the original and the re-make of THE PARENT TRAP were loosely based on the novel by Erik Kastner entitled "Lottie and Lisa." Though the location and some other elements were changed, the essential plot remains the same. The book was actually the basis for many genre movies. The differences between the book and the film are minor, with the film focusing more on the children trying to get the parents back together.

Disney, in 1961, cast Hayley Mills in the starring role, with Maureen O'Hara and Brian Keith playing the parents. The separated girls accidentally meet at summer camp and quickly discover the truth about one another. They were twins whose parents divorced at birth and each took one of the twins and never told the girls about the other. The rest of the film follows the girls as they switch places to meet the parent they did not know they had. The girls soon learn that their father is about to marry his gold-digging girlfriend -- a plan they must stop. After a madcap race, and an ill-fated camping trip, it all comes together.

The remake of THE PARENT TRAP remains faithful to the 1961 version, though this latest version has the mother living in London. Furthermore, in this version she is unaware of the twins' plans to sabotage their father's wedding plans. The girls contrive to bring their parents back together by getting them both to the same hotel. Their mother has no idea their father is about to re-marry. They must race against time to get them back together before it's too late.

The twins scheme to switch places while on their annual camping trip, a secret that doesn't get revealed until it's almost too late. When their mother graciously backs out of the trip, the twins set about to make their father's fiance miserable. As in the original version, the girls sabotage their father's fiance in the wild. Sugar-water mosquito repellent anyone? How about a trip down the river whilst taking a nap? Either version of THE PARENT TRAP is sure to please. They will make a hilarious addition to any home Disney movie list. Just remember which one is which!

Popular MythBuster Episodes

By Amy Nutt

MythBusters is a television show hosted by two men, Jamie and Adam, who set about testing myths to see if they hold up to scientific fact. The men have a lot of impressive skills and knowledge at their fingertips and what they don`t know, they learn. But not every episode is a winner, some clearly stand out from others.

Episode 12: This episode checked a very popular myth . . . do your toothbrushes really get fecal matter on them when you leave them in the bathroom? The answer might astonish you . . . and have you moving your bathroom as far from the house as possible! Also in the twelfth episode, Jamie and Adam built a machine to find out if they could actually collapse a bridge with soldiers marching in lock step across it, and a team of varsity rowers tested their strength by attempting to tow a waterskiing Jamie behind their 8 person shell.

Episode 20: Can you really die from eating a heated jawbreaker? Urban legend says it could explode in your mouth . . . so of course Adam and Jamie have to take on this challenge. They also check out the truth in the story about a man being electrocuted by sandblasting a plastic pipe and, one of the more popular tests, find out if a playing card really can be deadly when flicked at high speeds on edge. Curious? This is a great episode to watch!

Episode 30: Anything to do with sex tends to be popular and this episode, though it doesn`t actually contain anything risqu, is no exception. If you`ve heard the old story of a civil war soldier being shot through the lower body and the bullet then lodging in the uterus of a young woman who became pregnant, you`ll have an inkling as to what this interesting episode is about! The other myths include whether or not it can be fatal to use a phone in a thunderstorm and the re-enactment of a boat heading out to sea with the vehicle still attached.

Episode 35: Have you heard the one about the human slingshot? Apparently Mexicans were hurtling themselves over the border via giant slingshot, aiming so perfectly that they landed neatly on a mattress placed on the US side of the border. This is definitely a task for the MythBusters cast and they set about to find out if humans really can fly safely through the air.

Episode 67: Fans love a good shootout, something the Busters are famous for and this episode features three different gun related myths to put to rest. These more obscure myths include the supposition that two Civil War bullets that collided in midair fused together and the possibility of killing a sniper by shooting through his gun scope. The guys also investigate and try to disprove the story about a criminal`s bullet jamming the empty chamber in a policeman`s gun. And, as a bonus, we get a chance to find out just how dangerous a hammer really is!

Episode 72: Are you curious about the statement that you can`t fold a piece of paper in half more than 7 times? This episode of Myth Busters tests that theory to the max by building a sheet of paper the size of a football field to fold, but that`s not the most exciting part. How about a daring escape from a sinking car? We all know how dangerous it is to be inside a vehicle when it hits the water, but just how difficult is it to get out once you`re submerged?

There are plenty of MythBusters episodes to watch and all of them are good. However, these are some of the public`s favorites and well worth watching.

A Discussion of Macro Photography

By SFXsource

Macro photography is close-up photography. You are able to get close to small objects and photograph detail. Macro lenses are typically 1:1 ("life size"). What this means is that the image of your subject is relatively the same size in real life. Below ar

1. The first thing you will want to do is research the type of equipment you want. Experiment using the following: a macro filter, close-up lens, a telephoto extender, or a bellows attachment. For those of you just beginning, you may just want to invest in a macro filter.

2. In macro photography, it is important to know that the depth of field is different. Choose a high f-stop number such as an F16 or F22 (small aperture). Most of what is in the background will not be in focus.

3. When you are focusing in on your subject, be very careful, because many times the part you want in focus will end up being blurry. Unless you are shooting under bright lighting conditions, you will end up using a slow shutter speed.

4. Lighting your subject is critical and must be taken into consideration. Since your camera will be very close to your subject, keep in mind that you must have light between the lens and your subject. It may be worthwhile to invest in a ring flash.

5. In order to increase your shutter speed, a higher film speed is recommended. Generally, you will want ISO200 or lower.

6. Have fun photographing a number of different subjects. Be aware of the shape and texture. Keep in mind composition as well as colors in the background.

Additional things you may want to try: experiment with light balance, use a tripod, or use a diffuser. Take your time with macro photography and always have fun. Great subjects are flowers and bugs.

Mississippi Tourism - The Ghosts and Legends

By Penelope SanMateo

Start your Mississippi tour with a range of visits to ghostly haunts such as the Ghosts and Legends tour in Columbus or the "Candlelight Ghost Tour during Halloween Week in Vicksburg. This should give you something to think about as you make a change in the direction of your tour to stop over in Noxubee and see the jail that was built in 1907. This three-storied brick structure was built in the Romanesque style of architecture. It was used as a place of incarceration for seventy years before being abandoned. Then it was restored and entered into the National Register of Historic Places and declared a Mississippi Landmark. Then maybe you want to go on to Aberdeen where you can visit the Magnolia mansion which was built in 1850 as a stunning example of antebellum architecture. The mansion showcases an exquisite mahogany staircase and period furnishings for you to enjoy.

So what is in Pickensville? The Tom Bevill Visitors Center and Museum. Here you can see exhibits on the Tennessee-Tombigbee Waterway. The replica of an antebellum plantation mansion serves as the museum and visitor center.

Racing is big in Mississippi and you can visit one of the tracks in Columbus, the Columbus Speedway where there is racing on Saturday nights from March through September. The 3/10 mile, high banked clay oval track will give you lots of thrills as the cars speed around amidst the dirt and noise! The track is just 7 miles east of Columbus on Hwy 82 so it's easy to get to and offers a great Saturday night of enjoyment.

Take a Mississippi tour of the small town of Magnolia and visit the two National Historic Districts this community has to show off.

Which Star Wars Anakin Deluxe Child Costume is Best?

By David Perry

The Star Wars cast has always been part of conversations from the time the movie was released in the 70's. And every chance they get, Star Wars fanatics have chosen to bring out their light sabers and Jedi costumes.

This Halloween, relive the glorious days of Jedi Knights by letting your child wear the Anakin Deluxe Child Costume. Your kid will surely have a memorable trick or treat experience. Gather the rest of the gang and have a Halloween blast with a Star Wars themed party.

Costumes Available

I have seen a few Star Wars costumes, but I decided to choose the Anakin Deluxe version for my son. It looks really realistic, and comes with everything that he wanted to play Anakin for a party. It is an officially licensed costume, so the quality is fantastic. The costume consists in a tunic with attached shirt, pants and attached boot tops. It really looks like the famous Jedi who went on to become Darth Vader and betray the Jedi.

You can buy the costume in a variety of sizes, which is really important since children all grow at different rates. Choose the Anakin Deluxe costume in either small, medium or large.

The Star Wars Lightsaber Accessory

No Jedi costume would ever be complete without an added lightsaber. For children especially, this element of the costume provides them with fun and entertainment where they can fight each other and swish their lightsaber around like a true Jedi. Since Anakin was such a powerful Jedi, your child will want a lightsaber too.

The Deluxe Child Costume comes with everything you will need for the basic costume, but you will need to purchase a lightsaber separately. This is true of most costume sets, and the great thing is that won't cost you a fortune.

Star Wars Costume Ideas

Children can relate to the costume of Anakin Skywalker, the greatest Jedi child in the Star Wars movie, Revenge of the Sith. Now you can hold parties and add more characters with the young powerful Jedi but none would be comparable to Anakin. The costume package has the best wardrobe available for any child and it is easily imitated in any gathering. Best of all, you can hold parties using any of the characters available in the franchise.

Discover The Easy Way To Find Movie Downloads Online!

By Sam Timlin

I got an email from a friend the other day asking if I had the movie "GoodFellas" on DVD that he could borrow. I emailed him back the following - "Quit bugging me - just go download it!"

Ok, maybe I wasn't quite so harsh. But I think I threw him off at first!

What I was trying to convey to her was that she didn't need to go track down the DVD. If you want to watch a movie, all you really need is an internet connection.

I've been getting an increasing number of questions about what the best way to download movies online is and whether there is anywhere on the web with a good selection of films.

First, let me assure you that, yes, there is an enormous selection of movies available online. Not only can my friend find Godzilla, but she can choose from all the latest releases as well as old favorites. In fact, you have more to choose from online than any video store can offer.

Now that that's out of the way, let's talk about the question so many of you have ? "Where can I download movies online?"

It's important to say where you shouldn't go to download movies. Avoid peer-to-peer networks like LimeWire and Kazaa. While these are OK for find music, they are a very poor choice for movies.

These networks may have some movies, but they also are completely unmonitored, so you never know what you are really downloading ? you can easily catch a virus this way. You never know just what you are downloading from these networks.

Two other problem with these types of sites - selection and download speeds.

A movie is a large file to download. When you're using a shareware program it can easily take over a day or two to finish downloading as the speeds can be terribly slow at times. You also won't find many of the movies you are looking for. The selection is limited compared to other options you have.

Your next option is to use some type of paid download service. There are different websites that let you download movies for a "per download" fee. You search for a movie, pay a fee for the download (about $10), and are able to have the movie over a secure network at a good download speed.

It's not a bad option, but there's a much cheaper way to find and download movies with equal quality.

You can also choose to go with membership based movie download websites. These sites charge a onetime fee for unlimited access to the movies on the website. This fee is usually somewhere between 30 and 50 dollars ? you can download all the movies you like at any time after paying this membership fee.

These sites are a great alternative to pay per download sites since there is only a onetime fee and unlimited access to an enormous selection of movies. The download speeds are fast and the files are guaranteed to be virus free.

The best of these membership sites will also give you software to burn these movies to DVD so that you aren't limited to watching them on your computer.

Did my friend find Scarface?

She did. And I don't think she'll be asking me to loan her any DVDs anytime soon!

With more and more people downloading movies online, there will be less and less traditional video stores. Why go out to a store when you can download all the movies you want without ever leaving your home?
