Look forward to...

Hey there! With spring on it's way there's a couple of shows you should keep your eye on.
And yes, by a "couple" I literally mean 2, Game of Thrones and Mad Men. Thrones comes back on April 1st and MM will be back on March 25th. Mad Men will begin it's fifth season on AMC. If you haven't checked the show yet, I highly recommend you power-stream through them, if you've seen the previous seasons you'll be as excited as I am. (Mad Men, is a show centered on the life of Don Draper who's a big shot at an advertising agency in the New York of the 1960's.)
Game of Thrones is an HBO show returning for it's second season; since the first season it's only ten episodes you can watch them easily before the premiere of season 2. (For a review on the first season check out our last podcast on the radio website.)
Spring brings awesomeness to TV. Be sure to leave your comments on the shows right here, or on our facebook page.

Academy Awards

Yesterday was Hollywood's biggest night, and the stars of the night were "Hugo" and "The Artist", the results were mostly unsurprising to movie followers.
That won't stop us from giving a full review on the show (and a couple o media stunts you may have missed) this wednesday at 4 on the show. Remember you can listen on radio.dominican.edu (links to the right) every wednesday from 4 to 6.

The Oscars Pre-show

Brace yourselves, because this sunday are the Academy Awards.
This is THE weekend on Hollywood, everyone who's anyone on movie business at the moment will be there. Dressed for slpendor, Hollywood recovers some of it's past glammour. Long dresses black ties, jewerly and camera flashes; the red carpet is a must for fashion enthusiasts and the interviews are a must for anyone desiring to get a feel of the nominees before the show.
The show itself is classic, with homages to all the nominees, to people who passed away and with eventual sneek peeks tofuture peojects; and let's not forget the always surprising acceptance speeches, from the emotional to the political.
The oscars reveal the state of the industry, and this year we have a lot to look forward to.

Amazing Trailers

This friday is the release of "Act of Valor", a war movie that looks really interesting. Why is it different from other war films?
Well the movie involved actual Navy SEALS in the production and it is a very tactical film; we could say is the unnoficial adaptation of "Call of Duty" it certainly loooks a lot like the missions in the game. 

I f you haven't heard of it, here's the extended trailer.

The 3D on Star Wars episode one

So after some time to think it over I think I'm ready to place the definitive ruling on the 3D aspect of the movie.
It's certain that the 3D is not the same you get with a movie like Avatar or Tintin which were made to be seen on 3D. But as far as 3D conversion goes, this is a great piece of conversion, and it is wonderfully done.
The 3D brings depth to the film, it gives the viewer a better sense of space, dimension and distance; it makes an inmersive experience even with a 13 year old movie.
It is woth it, if all 3D conversions were like this one, if all were had such an organic feeling like this; I would watch movies on 3D more often.
