For a long time, Austin has been considered the Third Coast in the film industry, with more filmmakers on the rise in Austin, and more Hollywood types coming to Austin to shoot their movies.

The most recent film starring the American icon, the Harley Davidson motorcycle, was called 'Wild Hogs'. Named after the nickname given to its riders in the 1970's, this family comedy with an all star cast including John Travolta didn't quite meet its hyped expectations. Falling flat in plot and more importantly, script, the movie was a disappointing attempt at capturing the lure of the Harley and the thrill of the open road. It should have been no surprise. Putting Disney to... more...

One day after viewing my latest rental, I was channel flipping and I found some HD stations I didn't even realize I had. One of these was part... more...

David Schwimmer's directorial debut 'Run Fat Boy' is about to be released in the USA and lead star Simon Pegg has been discussing the movie.

Simon Pegg: Well I got the call and I read it again and I thought, "How is this going to work as a British set film?" because it very much had the spirit of New York in it. It had the New Yor... more...

A DVD, also known as Digital Video Discs or Digital Versatile Discs (the dispute has never been solved and there is no mandate by the DVD Official Forum on what DVD should stand for!) is an optical storage device that can be used for high quality data storage like movies that need to have excellent video and sound quality. One of the advantages of watching a DVD movie over a CD movie is that one does not need to change the CD over and over again after an hour since almost all the movies w... more...

Historical period films are those that are set in the background of a historical period with some exceptions.

Producing Hollywood period films is always considered a very expensive task. The reason for this is that you need to prepare huge grand sets and de... more...

Outdoor movies are a fun way to relax in the evening.

Finish your education. Make a difference by becoming an asset to your community. The Great Debaters This movie should win so... more...
