I saw the most incredible show recently. I group of friends and I won these tickets on a radio call in show. We were lucky enough to call in with the correct answer to the trivia question they were asking. The winning prize was four tickets to see this local magician.

I hadn’t seen a magic show since my friends fifth birthday party. They hired this guy to come and do these tricks. It was OK, I guess, although to tell you the truth I don’t remember that much about. I suppose that means that it wasn’t that great. I think he did some magic coin tricks, and maybe a few card tricks. Just your run of the mill kids part magic tricks.

The performance we were lucky enough to see the other night was on a completely different level of skill. This guy did some of the most bizarre tricks I’ve ever heard of. The entire time the crowd was spellbound. Nobody was even talking to each other at their tables. They were just staring at this guy. It made me really want to learn magic tricks.

The first thing he did were these pseudo psychic tricks. He started guessing peoples ages, and weights. Basic stuff. Just to get the crowd warmed up. Then he started doing harder stuff, like guessing peoples drivers license numbers and stuff.

After that he really shocked everybody. He walked around, and talked to a few people. Some people he would lean in and touch on the shoulder. Some people’s hands he shocked. Then he went back up on stage and started telling these really lame, but long winded jokes. And while he was doing that, all the people that he touched physically came up on stage. Like they were zombies or something.

When they were on stage, he made them all speak in Martian, and told the crowd they were there, and had mistaken this club for the UN. So we had to listen to a group of people give a speech, in Martian, to the United Nations. It was the strangest thing I’d ever seen. If you haven’t seen a magic show recently, you should check one . I think magic may have changed from what you may remember.

I gotta admit – I’m a huge movie buff. For me there’s nothing better than sitting down with some snacks and watching a flick. Lately I’ve received numerous emails from visitors wondering where they can go to download movies on the net, so I wanted to put together a quick article about this.

There’s a great deal of people who now download all the movies they watch. The web has made it so that you don’t necessarily need to run out to the video store to pick up the newest movie.

The selection of movie downloads online is incredible. You can pick from far more movies on the net than you ever could in a rental store. Whether it’s a golden oldie or a new release, most likely you can find it online.

So where can you find movie downloads?

First off, let’s talk about where not download movies. You might have heard of download sites like LimeWire or Kazaa. You should stay away from thse websites! There are lots of viruses that you can get and it’s easy to get overloaded with spyware. Plus, when you search for movies you often download broken files and you end up getting something altogether different than what you wanted.

Another issue is that the download speeds are really slow with these types of sites. You can actually wait over a day for just one file to stop downloading. Naturally it’s annoying to have to wait that long just to learn the movie doesn’t work!

Another alternative is pay-per download movie sites. Here you pay for each movie you download. Each download costs about ten bucks. However, there are cheaper alternatives out there so I recommend to pass on these websites.

The best longterm option is to join a specialized movie download website. At these websites you are billed a one-time registration fee (normally $35-$50) and can then login and download whatever movie you choose. These websites are devoted to movie downloads and have a tremendous selection of movies to choose from. It’s definitely the best choice as you can download as many movies as you want and you never have to worry about slow download speeds or movie files that don’t work.

Finding movies online is a tremendous way to get any movie you choose without ever needing to go to the video store. It’s more affordable, faster and really addictive!

The Nintendo Wii has quickly become one of the most sought after video game systems ever launched. For months it was sold out everywhere and was considered one of the toughest finds for the Christmas seasons. One of the most exciting features of the Nintendo Wii is that you can download Wii games for immediate use instead of having to go to store each time you want a new game.

Many Nintendo Wii owners aren’t exactly sure where to find downloads for their system, so we thought we would first go over the two main options you have for downloading Wii games.

Option #1

If you run a search for ‘free Wii downloads’ you will find a couple of websites that claim to offer Wii games that you can download at no cost. This obviously sounds like the perfect option, but you do need to keep a couple of things in mind before you use these websites.

Recently a number of these websites have been shut down because they were spreading viruses and spyware. None of them are actually monitored so many of the files are infected and can put your computer at risk.

You will also find that these websites suffer from very slow download speeds. They also are full of files that are ‘corrupt’, meaning that they don’t work at all. It’s extremely annoying waiting over a day for something to finish downloading only to find out it doesn’t even work.

For the most part, we recommend staying away from these websites. They end up being more of a headache than it’s worth and can put your computer at risk.

Option #2

The second option has a lot of advantages over the first one. You can download Wii games without worrying about infecting your computer or slow download speeds.

There are websites that allow you to download unlimited Wii games, movies, TV shows and music when you register as a member. They do charge a small fee (about $50) for signing up and then allow you to login and download games whenever you want. This is a one-time fee that lets you download files for your Wii for as long as you have your system.

Since these website are set-up by businesses that hope to make a profit, the companies that run them make sure that they keep their customers happy. The downloads are fast and all of the files are guaranteed to work. The selection of games and movies is top-notch and they also offer 24/7 customer support if you ever have any questions.

There’s a link at the bottom of this article you can use if you want to try a risk-free trial at a couple of the most popular download websites. The software you use to be able to use the games on your Wii is included and setup takes about 5-10 minutes.

This option is a lot better than the first for obvious reasons. You don’t put your computer at risk and you are dealing with a reputable business when you become a member. If you are someone who likes getting new games fairly often it’s a great way to do it.

As the Nintendo Wii becomes more and more popular, we can only imagine that Wii download websites will also grow in popularity. It’s an easy way to find new games and movies for your system whenever you feel like trying something new. Happy gaming!

More and more gamers have spurred the Playstation 3 toward its recent growth in popularity. Gamers are increasingly making the switch from the XBOX to the PS3 to take advantage of its superior gaming power. One of the useful features of the PS3 is that you can download games online for play on your game console.

As you probably know, we get tons of inquiries from gamers who want to know exactly where to find PS3 downloads. This is why we thought it would be a good idea to put together a handy guide to explain the best way to get the latest PS3 games online.

Let’s start by telling you where NOT to go. You should stay away from sites that claim to offer “free” PS3 downloads. You might see some enticing ad banners out there, but keep your guard up. These will only cause you trouble.

These kinds of file sharing sites could potentially put your computer in harm’s way. Since no one monitors the files that get put online, you might end up with a nasty computer virus or spyware if you download files from these sites.

Besides, there are a host of other disadvantages too. For one, download speeds are pretty much a joke. For another, you might literally be waiting hours for that game you’ve been wanting, only to be disappointed after the file FINALLY downloads when you discover it’s corrupt and won’t work on your game console.

A better bet is to join a members-only PS3 game download website. Once you join, you can log on and access PS3 games for download whenever you feel like it. These websites are closely monitored by their developers to make sure the files are free of viruses and malware. You can also be sure game files will work properly, and will download fast.

There is a membership fee involved, but it’s really a great value considering how much you pay. A typical lifetime membership will run you about $50. But after that, you won’t ever be charged again, and you’ll have access to thousands of titles whenever the mood may strike you. As an added bonus, you’ll also have access to movie and music downloads for use on your Playstation 3.

One more caveat: avoid membership sites that charge you a monthly fee, or even worse, charge you per game download. Though the prices may seem cheap to you, you’ll actually spend more in the long term. It’s better to just buy a lifetime membership; then you pay just once but have permanent access to game downloads.

Another advantage of these sites is that you will get full instructions for getting the game from your computer to your Playstation console so that you can be sure you’ll be able to play them. You can also download any software necessary for completing this process.

One final word of caution: downloading PS3 games is highly addicting! You’ll want to spend all your time trying new games now that you can easily download them from your computer. Have fun, and enjoy your gaming!

The Last Time I Saw Archie – Webb’s solitary try at comedy is less ridiculous than some of his more serious films; a shame, since William Bowers’ script-based on his own Army experiences had authentic potential, and Mitchum pleasantly underplays as the con guy.

Cast includes Robert Mitchum, Jack Webb, Martha Hyer, France Nuyen, Louis Nye, Richard Arlen, Don Tangles, Joe Flynn, and Robert Strauss. (98 minutes, 1961)

Nutcracker the Motion Picture – Much of this interpretation of The Nutcracker, acted by the Pacific Norhtwest Ballet, is like a music video with rapid cutting and close-ups of legs, faces, and elbows. This is extremely irritating. However the Tchaikovsky music is, obviously, amazing, as are Maurice Sendak’s sets and costumes. Cast includes Hugh Bigney, Vanessa Sharp, Patricia Barker, Wade Walthall, Russell Burnett, and the voice of Julie Harris. (89 minutes, 1986)

Lost Horizon – First half hour duplicates 1937 film scene for scene, and all’s going well. Then we get to Shangri-La and everything goes bad.

Dingo – An out of the blue appearance by jazz trumpeter Billy Cross (Davis) in a young man’s rural town empowers him to become a musician himself. Now grown up, he still fantasies of playing for a living and honoring his lifelong hero. This pleasant but dull paced tale is kindled by Miles Davis’ dynamic presence and ingratiating behavior. Cast includes Colin Friels, Miles Davis, Helen Buday, Joe Petruzzi, Bernadette Lafont, and Bernard Fresson. (108 minutes, 1991)
