Movies in May 2013

Movies in May 2013

If you’re a geek, you’ve got a lot of fun stuff coming this May, but fans of non-fantasy movie genres have something to look forward to as well.

 

 

Iron Man 3

Portraying heroes like vulnerable human begins has always been something Marvel comics were good at, especially with popular franchises. Movie industry hasn’t really been able to paint the personality of our favorite heroes properly (with a fair exception of recent Batman series), but Iron Man 3 looks like it’s going to do just that – something I haven’t expected from a Hollywood title. This is definitely a movie worth checking out in the cinema, or you can wait for a blue ray edition if you’ve got a very high quality TV or PC screen to watch it on.

 

Peeples

Half-romance, half-comedy Peeples is also due in May. Stop me if this sounds familiar – a somewhat under-achieving guy and love of his life from a high class family get to announce their intentions to her family. Yep, it’s Meet the Parents clone, with a kicker being the fact that the plot involves a black couple this time. If you want a light way to spend an evening, Peeples comes out to give you just that.

 

 

The Great Gatsby

A charismatic and young war veteran in the time of peace, just trying to get his life back on normal tracks, but unavailable to get away from his reputation. Leonardo Di Caprio plays a very convincing tormented role, and the movie seems like it will be plenty of fun to watch, but with heavy undertones.

 

 

The Purge

If you’re looking for something to get your adrenaline going, The Purge is a right choice. This movie strikes kind of close to home with it’s theme, but we’re not quite there yet. The main premise of the movie is the situation where the government allows annual Purge, a 12-hour time period where laws are suspended as a way of letting the public “blow off some steam” so to speak. Find out how a family that has refused to participate in previous Purges deals with being made a target by saving a person in need during this year’s Purge.

 

 

Now You See Me

Magic… or just a clever illusion? As always, a movie with Morgan Freeman in it is bound to be something I have to watch, but this time the crew is really impressive, although I will have to shake off the impression of Zombieland survivors going against Alfred in a great thriller.

 

 

Epic

While I do consider this movie’s title to be a bit too presumptuous, from what the trailer has the show I’m pretty happy that Epic movie release is due soon. Creators of Ice Age have really pushed their animation skills to the limits, giving us a beautiful 3D fantasy world where nature shows just how dangerous it is for someone not in tune to it.

 

 

Fast and Furious 6

The title is pretty much self-explanatory. Fast cars, semi-naked girls, explosions, gunfire and city chases with lots of property damage have been staple marks of this particular franchise, and there won’t be many changes in this particular movie. If you’re into fast paced gunfire-filled adventures, this is the movie to look forward to in May of 2013.

 

 

Star Trek: Into Darkness

This has got to be one of the most resilient movie franchises I’ve seen so far. My count places this as 12th movie, not counting dozens of seasons of TV shows, and the timeline has been changed, twisted, done, redone and rebooted several times now. Into Darkness is a prequel to the old Star Trek movies, and it shows us younger versions of favorite characters of most geeks as they grow up to be men we admire in old shows. Some may hate this reboot/prequel, but I find it a good thing that Star Trek is still around and kicking – and is not terrible. It’s good to be a geek in May of 2013.

 

 

The Hangover III

Can going back home be a bad decision? It sure seems that way. While I’ve never been to big on The Hangover movies, this one seems to continue the theme and gives our favorite friends new trouble to get themselves out of.

How to watch TV on your laptop

How to watch TV on your laptop

Watching TV has become somewhat of a necessity in life these days. Ever since ‘the tube’ was invented, it has been drawing attention to itself with its seemingly endless entertainment. So, naturally, some people have found a way to make money off of it. Great cable corporations have started charging people for the ability to have as many channels as they would like. Since the invention of cable television, and later HD television, has made the prices go even higher, people are now trying to find other ways of watching TV. With the Internet getting more and more developed and accessible, it was only natural that people would find the possibilities to watch TV over the Internet, anywhere and anyhow. So, here, we will present you with a few ways to watch TV online, wherever and whenever you want it.

TV on laptop 02

PC TV cards

This is one of the ways that involve installing some hardware, in order to be able to receive TV signal on your laptop. In this case, a small device is installed at the back of your computer or laptop which is able to receive free-to-air TV broadcasting. However, you will need another part that will function like an antenna, which will enable you to get more TV stations.

These cards are very cheap to purchase, and this is the only fee that you will have to pay in order to be able to watch TV. It is also very easy to install and every computer technician will be able to help you install it.

The downside is that you can only watch TV stations that are free-to-air (as we said above). This means that you will not be able to watch some of the more exclusive channels. However, I think that not paying a high monthly fee for a cable TV subscription is definitely worth giving these cards a shot.

Online TV via your browser

There are many websites that offer you to watch TV stations online, via their services, completely for free. These websites will provide you with links towards TV stations’ streams. Many TV stations offer their programs to be streamed online free of charge. However, the problem with these is that they do not let their exclusive content go on stream. They allow exclusive content only on TV. Also, another problem with these is that they often have a lot of hang time, because many people are trying to access the streaming, because they want to watch TV for free. Do not think that you are the only one. If you are satisfied with waiting a little and not being able to watch the really exclusive content, then you will be completely satisfied with this way of watching TV.

TV on laptop 03

One-time-fee TV watching software

Possibly the best way to watch TV online, which, however, does involve paying some fee for the service, is to obtain a software which will allow you access to satellite TV. This software is constantly developing lately, but the thing is that it really does provide a quality HD service that is on par with the greatest cable TV providers. As I said, you have to pay a one-time fee for obtaining the software. This price is usually around fifty dollars, but you only pay it once. No further paying is required, and you can use the software for as much as you like. This is much better than paying a monthly fee for cable TV. Another good thing is that you can use this software anywhere where there is an Internet connection. Also, it offers much more channels than even the best cable TV offer. Over 3000 channels are available to choose from, many of which are even available in HD. So, for a small price of fifty dollars, you get much more than you would with any cable TV provider anywhere.
So, to conclude, it is possible to get away from the boring cable TV providers that demand that you pay for their services, even if the services that they provide could be much better for the same price. You should not allow yourself to be ripped off every month and you should let yourself enjoy the full possibilities that TV entertainment can offer you.

Watching TV shows online – Best Websites

Watching TV shows online – Best Websites

Watching TV today is something that people tend to avoid. Even though the great TV manufacturers go out of their way to create new and exciting features on their new TV sets, people prefer to find other ways to watch their favorite TV shows. Why is this so? There are a few reasons for this phenomenon and the most important ones are as follows. First, cable TV providers are charging increasing prices for their services. It is not at all cheap to own cable in your home and pay for it on a monthly basis. The second reason for this phenomenon is that, since we live in a fast-paced world, people prefer to be able to watch their favorite shows when they want and not when TV program tells them to. Because of these reasons, here are a few websites that will allow you to watch TV online and enjoy your favorite TV shows when you want them, cheaply.

TV shows websites 03

Hulu (works in the US only)

This website is considered ‘the king of free online TV’ in the US. Hulu offers many TV shows that you can stream online and watch at your convenience. These TV shows are very well sorted and organized and it is not hard to find your way around the website in order to find the show that you want. These kinds of websites also have the ‘recommended’ option that will help you pick the show that you want to follow if you are unsure as to which show to pick next. However, even if it is the king of free TV, some more recent and more popular shows still have to be paid for, because the website has to make money somehow. For a cheap price that is around 8 dollars a month, you get the access to all the TV shows, and, more importantly, they will all be available in HD technology. Also, it offers streaming of full-length movies, which means that you can follow pretty much anything that is being aired on TV on your laptop or PC.

TV shows websites 02

Netflix

Netflix is the main contender to Hulu in the United States, but it also has an advantage over Hulu, and that is that Netflix is available everywhere. The features are slightly different. For example, on Netflix you have to pay for everything and it does not allow free access to their content. However, when you pay, you get really good service for your money. It is guaranteed that your browsing will be completely ad-free, and that you will be able to find anything that you want to stream. However, the problem is that Netflix has increased the monthly fee for using their services, and this has caused some 800,000 users to drop out and start using other services. Whether their services are worth your money is something that I leave to you to decide. All I can say is that Netflix is still definitely cheaper than paying for cable TV.

TVMuse

When it comes to websites that are completely free to use, the top of the list is reserved for TVMuse website. This is a website which cannot be exactly called a streaming website. Instead, it is an aggregate of links towards hosting sites that have the videos that you need. So, you will be able to find any show here, but you will have to leave this website in order to watch it. This can be a bit confusing sometimes, because you will have numerous ads to fight with and you will have to click a lot in order to get to your video, but the service is completely free and it has literally all the shows that you can think of, including the documentaries, which are rarely offered by other websites. This is its main advantage, for sure.

Cucirca

This is another website that deserves to be in the top of the free-streaming websites. Although it does not have the same number of shows as TVMuse, Cucirca can boast with the quality of the service that it provides. Firstly, it will not link you towards various hosting sites. Instead, the video will be embedded on the website, and you can just click on it and watch it. Another thing is that people at Cucirca really care about the quality of the videos that they embed. Not every video is worthy to be on their website, and while not providing you with a number of options, this website will surely provide you with one sure-fire option to watch your favorite TV show.

If you are reading this, that means that you too are sick of cable TV and the boring TV stations and programs which offer no fun at all and have difficult show schedules. These websites will definitely provide a solution to your troubles and you will be able to enjoy your favorite TV shows how and when you want to.

Movies in April 2013

Movies in April 2013

While far from the run of interesting movies in March, April has a few choices that will occupy our time. Some we’ll want to avoid, of course, but something to pique our interest as well.

 

42

If you were expecting some clever spin-off of Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy, you’re going to walk away disappointed, because what we have here is a sports movie. The movie covers life of Jackie Robinson in his legendary signing with the Brooklyn Dodgers and is a biographical movie in nature. The fans of baseball and the characters involved will enjoy the movie, the rest of us best avoid this one.

 

Home Run

Looks like we’re destined to watch sports movies this month. This time we get to look at a pro player with substance abuse issues get sent to a drug rehab program in his hometown and get to follow him on his path to becoming a player and a decent human again.

 

jOBS

While I find placing Ashton Kutcher in a role of Steve Jobs questionable, there’s certainly enough interest out there for a biographical movie of this type. The movie follows the rise of Steve Jobs from a college nerd to the head of a most powerful company in the world over the last few years.

 

Jurassic Park 3D

A generation of nerdy kids has been raised on Jurassic Park, and I, at least, enjoyed this movie very much when it came out back in 1997. I am not a big fan of remastering and re using old material for new movies, giving this movie a 3D do-over is a pretty fun thing and I expect many will feel the same.

 

Oblivion

I’m not a big fan of Tom Cruise, but voice of Morgan Freeman in any movie is like a big bowl of addictive substance I just can’t get enough of – that alone is enough to get me to watch this movie. The theme seems a bit bland and generic, but as an SF fan I’m willing to give this movie a fighting chance – you should as well.

 

Pain and Gain

Action comedy? Yes, please! The parade of serious drama movies in April seems never-ending, and this half wacky scenario where three bodyguards (Dwayne Johnson – half man/half muscles is included in this crew) go through an unexpected problematic situation by creating a whole lot more problems for other people.

 

Scary Movie 5

The directors of the genre seem to have given up on any pretense of subtlety (if there ever was some of that in Scary Movie series) when they got Charlie Sheen for their new movie. If you enjoy this type of comedy, hooray for you, two more hour of laughing your gizzards off. Don’t expect any sophistication here.

 

The Evil Dead

You know the drill for this type of horror movie – lots of blood, gore, screaming, heads and limbs being torn/chopped/sewn off and the legendary chainsaw of The Evil Dead series being put to good use on unwilling subjects.

 

The Big Wedding

A mature divorced couple has to pretend being married yet again for a family reunion – torment for them, but hilarious for us in front of the screens. Robert De Niro will make sure we leave the theaters with a big smile on our faces.

 

Movies in March 2013

Movies in March 2013

Jack the Giant Slayer

Right off the bat we’ve got a major winner – Jack the Giant Slayer the movie has been anticipated for a while now, and it’s finally out. See the flames of war between race of humans and giants get reignited by a simple farmhand Jack on his quest to woo the princess.

 

The Last Exorcism Part 2

We thought The Last Exorcism was the last exorcism, but it appears there’s more of the story to be told. The story continues right where the old movie ended. Be wary, the movie got a pretty mediocre rating on IMDB, and I tend to believe the votes there.

 

Emperor

Are revenge and justice one at the same? The borders between the two get blurred in an interesting movie The Emperor. Emperor Hirohito is being charged for war crimes at the end of WWII and the truth is ever so elusive.

 

Oz: The Great And Powerful

Just how did the wizard of Oz became the leader in a country of small men. A small time circus magician ends up tangled in a fantastic tale where magic, prophecies, queens and pure evil is mixed to give us a pretty grim view of land of Oz.

 

Dead Man Down

Getting revenge on a crime lord of New York City is not an easy task, but a resourceful woman can do whatever she sets her mind on – this is a pretty interesting movie to watch in march.

 

The Incredible Burt Wonderstone

Childhood friends who always had a taste for magic and trickery need a new act. See how things turn out when they try to take their arts one step further and dive into a glamor world.

 

Olympus Has Fallen

Now here’s something to pique the interests of an average American – what would the world look like with president being kidnapped and the White House being used by the terrorist with a master plan. See if they’ll pull the master plan in this new movie.

 

The Croods

Change is not necessarily a bad thing, something our funny caveman family discovers on their own case as they get tossed out of their comfortable cave in a vibrant, life rich jungle life. This full 3D cartoon will definitely end on my personal to-watch movie list.

 

Admission

Woman who considers herself  to be cool and detached finds out she’s got a grown son. Time to have some very funny moments as she does her best to change a bit to fit the new situation.

 

G.I. Joe: Retaliation

Well, if you’re looking for a masculine hunk of a G.I. Joe, The Rock certainly fits the bill. Guns, explosions, helicopters, swords, more explosions and some more shooting – If you want to spend some time watching a violent light show, this is the movie for you.

 

The Host

From the author of Twilight Saga (most people will stop reading here) comes an SF movie with a pretty teenage girl who gets injected with a parasitic alien soul which imparts an important mission onto her – see if she fulfills her.

For Australian people that was a new way to watch TV on the internet. No longer tied to the television set, Australians now have access to a quality, high-resolution, full-screen viewing experience on their PC or laptop. With a single click, viewers can choose what to watch, when to watch, and where to watch ABC content from five channels including:

ABC CatchUp – showcasing the weekly programs that everyone’s talking about from ABC1 and ABC2.

ABC News – the latest news from Australia and worldwide, as well as weekly current affairs programs from ABC’s award-winning team.

ABC Kazam! – the best kids’ fantasy live TV channel offering a high energy mix of action, adventure and animation.

ABC Docs – selection of natural history programs, social documentaries and series.

ABC Arts – culture comes alive with a specially crafted schedule that celebrates the arts in Australia and beyond.

There is also a sixth channel – ABC Shop – which plays previews for programs which can be rented or purchased as high-quality downloads from ABC Shop Downloads.

ABC.net – Australia

Watch TV on the internet – Canada

Cable TV via internet – Canadian Web TV

I must admit that I am a big Ice Hockey fan. In order to find results, game schedules and watch live hockey games on the internet I surfed through Canadian online video portals and services. When I was trying to find the best ways to watch ice hockey games on the web I found a lot of interesting sites with rich and quality program schedules, full sports coverage and much more.

Atlantic, Access, Amazing Discoveries, BC Legislative Assembly, Bell TV Info Channel, CBC, CTV, EWTN Canada, ITC, Knowledge, Legislative Assembly TV Network Northwest Territories, , Legislative Assembly TV Nunavut, Mega Cosmos, MeteoMedia, PPV Info, Rojhelat TV, TouTV, Ten TV, The Shopping Channel, The Weather Network and Tele Quebec are the most popular free live TV channels in Canada.

My No1 choice for watching internet television in Canada and my first stop is National Hockey League – Hockey Night in Canada on CBC sports.

CBC Sports is one of the main segments of the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation. CBC sports covers all major sports in Canada including NHL, AHL, Horse Racing, Soccer, Basketball, Olympics, Baseball, Football, Alpine Skiing, Figure Skating and off course Curling. The best rated program on the network comes from the CBC Sports presentation of Hockey Night in Canada. CBC Sports also has the rights for Toronto Raptors basketball games and Major League Soccer on CBC (specifically Toronto FC and the playoffs).

CBC network is the English-language online service of the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation. It started in 1996. Under its previous names, the CBC’s online service first went live in 1993.The Web-based service of the CBC is one of Canada’s largest and most visited web sites. It currently contains over one million pages of information. CBC also runs the French-language website Radio-Canada.ca.

CBC Programs directory is very user friendly and easy to search and navigate. You will search through an alphabetized list of CBC programs. To find a desired program simply click on the appropriate letter in the alphabet line provided. In 2004, CBC began offering RSS feeds, and in 2005, it launched a new online arts and entertainment magazine. In 2006, CBC.ca underwent another redesign after extensive study, with improvements to standards compliance. In March 2008, the website added a comments section to most news items, allowing feedback on stories.


The websites include news from the CBC News website, an extensive sports section, music, science, technology and entertainment pages. CBC/Radio-Canada also offers an extensive, free archives service showcasing pivotal moments in Canadian history from the 1930s on. Over 8,000 online clips and interviews from news and information programs provide an in-depth look at Canada’s past. Kids’ CBC is a preschool commercial-free programming block aired mornings on CBC Television.

TOU.TV is my second choice from Canadian web TV channels. This is a Quebecois French-language video-on-demand website launched on January 26, 2010 by the Société Radio-Canada.

On the site you can find over 2000 hours of French-language television content, near high definition in quality, provided by several TV channels, such as Télévision de Radio-Canada, RDI, ARTV, Télé-Québec, TV5MONDE, TV5 Québec Canada, TFO, Radio Canada International, RTS (Switzerland) and RTBF (Belgium)

My third Canadian online TV recommendation is CTV

Canadian web TV video service list will be moderated and updated.

Watch TV via internet – UK

Watch TV via internet – UK

Free live TV – UK channels

Our team put some serious efforts to find the best UK internet television and video services, available for watching on your PC or laptop, via internet, for free.
Following list of UK TV via internet channels and services will be updated and moderated.

If you want to watch UK live television channels on the internet on your computer, or some kind of video on demand services, you have to know that, for example, BBC TV productions are paid for by the UK television license fee, as well as rights agreements with third parties, mean that all BBC iPlayer TV services are currently only accessible from IP addresses allocated to the UK. A lot of people outside the UK bypass that rule by buying a virtual private network account with an IP address located in the UK.

On the other hand, radio programs can be accessed globally, with the exception of a few programs, mainly sports broadcasts that are affected by rights issues. One quirk is that mobile devices such as the iPod Touch and iPhone cannot access radio overseas via BBC iPlayer whereas computers can.

BBC iPlayer is an internet television and radio service, developed by the BBC. From February 2011, the BBC iPlayer includes links to other programs such as: ITV1, ITV2, ITV3, ITV4, Channel 4, E4, More 4, Film 4, Channel 5, Fiver, Five USA and S4C. The feature was added to the search function and the channels function. When a user clicks on a program by another broadcaster, there are redirected to that broadcasters catch up service.

An international version of the iPlayer will be launched during 2011 after receiving the approval of the BBC Trust. BBC iPlayer will be available on iPad devices in selected overseas markets in the middle of 2011, starting with the US. BBC will probably charge a monthly subscription fee to access the on-demand application, partially to get audiences “used to the service”, but also to generate additional value from the service in terms of the user data that it gives us.

http://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/

Sky Player is an online television service from Sky and this service allows users to watch live TV via internet and on demand video content from their PC, Mobile or Xbox 360 via a broadband or Wi-Fi internet connection. Users can access to on demand content such as sports highlights, latest news, movies and TV programs. Bad thing is that content is viewable for a limited amount of time and is protected by digital rights management software provided by Microsoft, and therefore cannot be copied to disc or viewed beyond the date carried by its license. The service is available with no extra fee to existing Sky TV customers, with accessible content depending on the subscriber’s Sky package. Non-Sky TV customers can access the service by subscribing on a pay-per-view basis.

There are currently 32 live TV channels on Sky Player:

Sky 1, Sky Atlantic, G.O.L.D, Sky Living, Sky Livingit, Sky Arts1, Sky Movies Premiere, Sky Movies Family, Sky Movies Showcase, Sky Movies Action and Adventure, MTV, Sky Sports 1-4, Sky sports News, British Eurosport 1 and 2, ESPN, ESPN Classic, Sky News, Nat Geo, Nat Geo Wild, History, Eden, Crime and Investigation, Cartoon Network, Boomerang, Nickelodeon, Disney XD, Disney Channels and Nick JR.

http://skyplayer.sky.com/

Demand 5 is video on demand service offered by Channel 5. The service offered Windows Media Video format downloads of the US imports CSI, House and Grey’s Anatomy. Individual episodes of these series could be ‘rented’ with some episodes available 7 days before they appear on TV.

Demand 5 content is also available on Facebook, SeeSaw, Sony Bravia Internet Video, TV.com, Virgin Media and YouTube.

http://demand.five.tv/

ITV Player is next online video on demand service available in the UK. The service offers a lot of programs and some sports programming is available to watch again via the service and the others such as imports and movies are not currently available due to rights issues, and children’s programming in particular is generally unavailable. Programs are available for 30 days on the site after being first shown on ITV.

http://www.itv.com/itvplayer/

SeeSaw is the next UK Internet television service, owned by Arqiva, and started in the UK on 17 February 2010. SeeSaw also started premium service offering 1,000 hours of premium content. The platform has already agreed a deal with MTV Networks for Comedy Central shows such as South Park and MTV properties such as The Hills, My Super Sweet 16 and Laguna Beach. A range of BBC Worldwide shows are also now be available to rent. SeeSaw made an additional arrangement with NBC Universal Television Distribution to make shows such as House, 30 Rock and Law & Order: Special Victims Unit available on its video on-demand website.
