Shiloh
February 15, 2010
|
IMDB rating: 6.10 Plot: An abused beagle runs away from his owner. On the road, he meets young Marty Preston and follows him home. The boy immediately forms a bond with the dog and names him Shiloh. His stern father won’t let him keep the dog because it belongs to Judd Travers, a local hunter. After Shiloh is mistreated again, he runs away and returns to Marty. Knowing his father will once again make him bring Shiloh back to Judd, he makes a home for the dog in an old shed up the hill from the Prestons’ house and hides him from his family. His secret is soon discovered when a stray attacks the dog one night and he must turn to his father for help. |
Actors: Wilson Scott,Heron Blake,Steiger Rod,Moriarty Michael,Card Clinton,Drama,Family,
What is the conflict in Shiloh.?
One of the main conflicts is between individual and society. The norms of society says that a man may do whatever he likes to his dog which is considered to be his property. Many adults around Marty tell him that he should respect that norm, but Marty, because he has his own conscience that says otherwise, goes out of his way to protect Shiloh, despite his society saying that he should not infringe on the property rights of Judd.

Curly Sue
February 11, 2010
|
IMDB rating: 4.70 Plot: Bill Dancer and his young companion Curly Sue are the classic homeless folks with hearts of gold. Their scams are aimed not at turning a profit, but at getting enough to eat. When they scam the rich and beautiful Grey Ellison into believing she backed her Mercedes into Bill, they’re only hoping for a free meal. But Grey is touched, and over the objections of her snotty fiance, insist on putting the two up for the night. As they get to know each other, Bill becomes convinced that this is where Curly Sue belongs – in a home, cared for by someone that can give her the advantages that his homeless, nomadic existence lacks. He plans to leave the young girl in the care of Grey and take off…. but Curly Sue has other ideas! |

Speed Racer
February 11, 2010
|
IMDB rating: 6.60 Plot: Hurtling down the track, careening around, over and through the competition, Speed Racer is a natural behind the wheel. Born to race cars, Speed is aggressive, instinctive and, most of all, fearless. His only real competition is the memory of the brother he idolized-the legendary Rex Racer – whose death in a race has left behind a legacy that Speed is driven to fulfill. Speed is loyal to the family racing business, led by his father, Pops Racer, the designer of Speed’s thundering Mach 5. When Speed turns down a lucrative and tempting offer from Royalton Industries, he not only infuriates the company’s maniacal owner but uncovers a terrible secret-some of the biggest races are being fixed by a handful of ruthless moguls who manipulate the top drivers to boost profits. If Speed won’t drive for Royalton, Royalton will see to it that the Mach 5 never crosses another finish line. The only way for Speed to save his family’s business and the sport he loves is to beat Royalton at his own game. With the support of his family and his loyal girlfriend, Trixie, Speed teams with his one-time rival-the mysterious Racer X – to win the race that had taken his brother’s life: the death-defying, cross-country rally known as The Crucible. |

do you read certain books at particular times/ places/ events?
over the past ten years or so, i half unconsciously read certain books in particular places, or at particular times (winter/summer, or feeling sad etc), or in certain weather.
do you do this too?
i decided not to do it last year, and my january and feb felt weird without re-reading the kraken wakes, the triffids, the secret garden, and some others- through to the railway children. the books are initially quite bleak, but go through to the railway children, which is sad/happy. for some reason they link well one to another, and matched the weather; bleak, becoming brighter.
the easter holidays, when i usually go to cornwall, felt totally different without ‘the riddle of the sands’ being read by a beach somewhere (or looking out on a beach if its raining, which is generally is) and again this seemed to marry with the sea smells, rain, wind etc. and the summer felt wrong without the clark diaries (elder and son), which ive read each july or august for about 7 years- along with the richard hanny books by john buchan- 39 steps etc.
when really depressed and dont want to move, i hide in bed and read the enid blyton adventure series- the castle of adventure, valley of adventure, etc, and in winter i pig out on wodehouse and agatha christie.
so this year im going back to my set books for set times, weathers and places, and feel much better…
anyone else mark events and places with specific books?
or turn to the same ones to reflect your thoughts, or the weather?
When I go away I like to read fiction based in the locality in which I am staying, for example, if I am in the Lake District, I would read Arthur Ransome.

It appears that you enjoy well-acted movies about people with major character flaws that need to be explored and dealt with. That said, I liked the movie called Normal (2003) starring Jessica Lange, Tom Wilkinson, and Hayden Panettiere so much that I bought a copy of it. http://us.imdb.com/title/tt0338290/
Too, most of your movies listed above have male leads. But there are a couple with sole female leads that I could recommend. One is Frozen River (2008) starring Melissa Leo and the other is Julia (2008) starring Tilda Swinton.

Does Netflix do 3D in dvds ?
Im about to get Journey to the center of the earth .Does it comes in 3D or it doesnt?
I never have got a movie with 3D so I doubt it. That would be a very nice feature to Netflix though. It says that Journey to the Center of the Earth comes in DVD and Blu-ray, so if you have Blu-ray player that’s the best quality you can get i suppose. Lets hope Netflix gets 3D movies!

What are some words that you would use to describe a Sirens voice?
Sirens: Gorgeous creatures that take the form of women with the most beautiful singing voice that you could ever imagine. They enchant men at sea and lure them into the water where they leave them to drown. If a mann can resist her it is said that the Siren must jump into the sea and drown herself.
Okay, that was just a quick background on Sirens, in case you didn’t know what they were. I’m writing a novel and Sirens sort of play a theme in it. I need help describing their voices. I need words to help describe the sound of their singing and I am running out of ideas. I am not asking you to write the novel for me, I am simply asking for some descriptive words and maybe a few sentences here and there if you want to be really helpful.
anyway, here’s a link to a song from Sibad: Legend of the Seven Seas that is pretty much what sirens sound like. This is pretty much how I pictured them singing (and I’m not stealing from Sinbad, jeez)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MTf0bekwm jo&feature=channel
thanks a lot!
Honeyed voices, enchanting tones, spell-binding, captivating.
Honestly, though, I think it would be far more effective to describe the reactions of the people listening (following the rule of show-not-tell). Describe how they lose consciousness of their movements and approach the singers without noticing, maybe start crying with the beauty of the song, etc.

The Last Starfighter, Buy Region 2 UK? Cheap!?
Hey ive just found out what a film is called but it looks like its quite rare does anyone know where i can buy it for Region 2 not Region 1 as thats all im finding really?
The Last Starfighter i know i may have asked this before but all i got was one price for ?40 if anyone has anything lower that would be awesome!
Cheers!
Jamie
Whats this, the free ads wanted section?
Have a look on ebay. You can get the 20th anniversary edition (region 1) for ?14.
OR
There’s a playtrader on play.com with the same version for the same price. There’s also a region 1 Collectors Edition for ?8.99.
?40???? GFY!
655321 | Nov 25, 2009
Oh, its you again! The Last Starfighter was not re-issued in the UK when it was recently printed to blu ray in the States. The best you will find for a DVD is around ?40, unless you get lucky on ebay. The region 1 dvd is only ?8.99 including postage on play.com (blu ray ?14.88). Best thing to do is check out the sites listed below to get a free code to make your dvd player region free. However, do NOT pay for this service. As with everything on the Internet some scumbag will be trying to make money from this, but there are thousands of forums out there that should help you get the code for your machine.
