Entertainment Film Festival
ART AND ENTERTAINING
I have a truly unique concept for a Film Festival one that only shows films that entertain us. I don’t know maybe they take us to a different place, make us laugh, make us scream but one thing they don’t do is make us look at our watch or snore. There are plenty of film festivals that want to show us art like watching a rain drop fall slowly to the ground which symbolizes a slow tear or something like that but watching that raindrop fall can be truly boring especially when it’s more then one. It would also be nice to watch an adventure movie and not have to take Dramamine because of the jittery camera effect. I believe the Entertainment Film Festival would fill this void with movies that entertain instead of make us think “what s*** did I blow $2o on”?

Click to see award winning photo’s
In today’s times when everyone has a camera on their phone it must be quite a challenge to have an award winning photo but these pictures stand out (at least according to the Smithsonian). Click below to find the picture that truly moves you mine is the “Navajo Bridge”. This picture has such beautiful color and the little boat in the middle shows the grandness of it all. WHICH CAPTURES YOUR EYE AND WHY?

A little too dark
It’s fun to read a comic book to escape some of the realities so why would they lead us down this path of death especially when it’s supposed to be a comedy series.? Maybe it all could be just a bad dream like what occurred on the “Bob Newhart show”.

Film Budget must be rough.
Those that write film budgets or any other budget must consider their work to be rough. It is easy to change a 6 figure budget to a 7 figure budget just by adding one “A name star”. The budget can change drastically as well if you get a well known director or even change a locations. The purpose of the budget therefore is to give a starting place for those who would finance such a project so that they can get an idea of what they get from their monies and nothing more.

Box Office- Biggies faith wins out
We all could have predicted “Noah” would win the box office race if only because of it’s budget but the other faith movie has got to be a bit of shock to those “in the know zone”. Can you guess which film I’m writing about. Hint it’s in Barney’s color.

Noah the movie not only survives but thrives
#Noah the movie, # Movie Review
If you’re looking for the biblical account of “Noah” you probably will be disappointed with this film but if your looking for a dramatic account that touches on the key moral points of this biblical story this film definitely succeeds. The acting is sensational and the effects are incredible. The script is fine although slow at times but I believe the most significant feature in it is that it let’s you feel what a person who witnessed and went through the great flood might feel and how they could react. I can understand how the biblical scholar would be disappointed in the film but films are supposed to be entertaining and make you think not just give you the facts.
Noah gets *** Arks

Maybe it pays to Gamble
If you truly want to save monies and have great time maybe it’s better to go to a gambling resort with your family then go on a cruise or the Caribbean. I would just go to Vegas, Atlantic City or similar location with the same monies I would have spent on a cruise or a Caribbean Vacation. You might say I’ve got the gambling fever but here’s a few reasons (below) why this might be a better bet. PLEASE TELL ME WHY I’M WRONG
(1) Either way the money you spent is going to crap but at least this way you have an opportunity to make your monies back.
(2) Gambling is a fun evening activity.
(3) You can receive additional discounts on further trips if you’re shown to gamble for a certain amount of time and/or money on the initial trip
(4) Even if you don’t get comped for a room or airline tickets you can get discounts for great shows or other events that would cost you additional monies.
(5) The hotel accommodations are generally relatively inexpensive at casino’s compared to other hotels even if you’re not comped.
(6) They’ll give you as many free drinks as you can handle as long as your on the casino floor. Has anyone heard of penny slot machines?
(7) There is usually great free (tips appreciated) local entertainment found just walking the strip or boardwalk.
One final note it’s best to gamble when the rest of the family is sleeping or doing another activity like the pool. WARNING -Gamble with your head not your heart.
