<br />
Just recently my girlfriend started the 30 day Netflix trial. I obviously was quite intrigued by this and had to find out what the fuss was all about.<br />
<a name='more'></a>To my own amazement I was surprised at the content on it. Netflix has a fantastic selection of films and TV shows. After some reading up on Netflix I soon also started to notice that on Netflix it doesn't have the biggest or best choice in the latest films, but what it did make up on was it's selection of TV shows. There are some huge TV shows on there including Breaking Bad, Lost, Prison Break and 24. Plenty of entertainment for someone like me. This gave me an idea and i looked into Love Film. These also do a 30 day trial with a few more different packages on offer to subscribe to after that compared to Netflix. In the past week I started that trial with Love Film. Once I started browsing their selection you start to see similarities between the two. The difference with Love Film however is they have a better selection of the latest films on offer and more choice of films in general. Now you might ask why did I choose to go with Love Film instead of Netflix, well for me it's simple, the option of being able to choose a DVD/Blu Ray rental service of all the latest releases as well as their online streaming service. With the streaming service on both companies neither have the latest films on offer (which isn't a particularly bad thing) my own preference is that I would like all the latest and greatest on offer to give me more of a choice. To finish this off I have to say that if you are looking at starting to subscribe to one of these services all I can say is it's down to preference. My best advice would be to trial both of them, see which one you like more, you might find some things on Netflix that isn't on Love Film and visa versa. Both of these are great value for money if you love to watch films and TV shows. Thanks for reading and any comments good or bad are appreciated.Alan Sabatinohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09619046644619699555noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6633219676166320610.post-12649779062402507952013-04-03T20:59:00.001+01:002013-04-03T21:02:40.929+01:00Time for some more new trailersThey seem to be coming thick and fast now. Today I'm bringing you 3 more new trailers for your viewing pleasure. <br />

Just around the corner is the new Tom Cruise film Oblivion (which I personally cannot wait for) then soon enough the new Iron Man 3 will be here. It's starting to get exciting again if your a bit of a movie geek and I'm looking forward to each of these below. First up we have 2 Guns starring Denzel Washington and Mark Wahlberg, 2nd is White House Down starring Channing Tatum and Jamie Foxx and finally we have a teaser trailer for Riddick starring Vin Diesel, Enjoy !<br />

<a name='more'></a><span style="font-family: inherit;">The film, expected to film this spring in metro Detroit, opens soon after the end of <b style="background-color: white; line-height: 19.5px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">Transformers: Dark of the Moon</b><span style="background-color: white; line-height: 19.5px;">, where a great battle left a city torn – but with the world once again saved. </span></span><br />

<span style="background-color: white; line-height: 19.5px;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">It speaks volumes about all Michigan has to offer that Transformers is returning once again to our state,” said Margaret O’Riley, director of the Michigan Film Office. “This project will shine another bright spotlight on Michigan and provide tremendous opportunities for our cast, crew and support services. </span></span></div>
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br style="background-color: white; line-height: 19.5px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;" />Transformers 4<span style="background-color: white; line-height: 19.5px;"> was awarded an incentive of $20 million on $81,933,992 of projected in-state expenditures.

<a name='more'></a>As you can see below they seem to have gone for a spoof type poster with it looking very similar to the final Harry Potter film poster. Personally I hope this film is much better than the second. I went into the second one expecting a lot but instead came out feeling like I had watched the first one but just set in a different country. The Hangover Part 3 comes out May 24th.<br />

Abrams Signed Harrison Ford for 'Star Wars: Episode VII'<span style="background-color: white; color: #555555; font-family: inherit; line-height: 1.5em; text-align: justify;">Though this isn't entirely unexpected, if this rumor turns out to be true, it's just good news and helps make </span><strong style="background-color: white; color: #555555; font-family: inherit; line-height: 1.5em; text-align: justify;"><em>Star Wars: Episode VII</em></strong><span style="background-color: white; color: #555555; font-family: inherit; line-height: 1.5em; text-align: justify;"> even more of a reality.</span><br />
<a name='more'></a><span style="font-family: inherit;">The trustworthy scoopers over at <a href="http://latino-review.com/2013/02/15/exclusive-harrison-ford-return-han-solo-star-wars-episode-vii/" style="color: #996666; text-decoration: initial;">Latino Review</a> have decided to jump from the comic book movie news game into the world of <em>Star Wars</em>, and they've learned that <strong>Harrison Ford</strong> is already signed for the first film in the new trilogy. Considering we heard that Ford, along with Mark Hamill and Carrie Fisher, were <a href="http://www.firstshowing.net/2012/harrison-ford-could-play-han-solo-again-in-star-wars-episode-vii/" style="color: #996666; text-decoration: initial;">all open to reprising their original trilogy roles</a> as of last November, this isn't groundbreaking, but it's just good to hear that <strong>Han Solo</strong> will be around.<span id="more-239450"></span></span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-R0m2l7aDfsM/USEgBTkXoMI/AAAAAAAAARU/HEN11NOTBMw/s1600/images.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-R0m2l7aDfsM/USEgBTkXoMI/AAAAAAAAARU/HEN11NOTBMw/s1600/images.jpg" /></a></div>

<div style="background-color: white; color: #555555; line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-top: 10px; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;">
This news comes just after hearing that Disney was planning several standalone spin-off films featuring characters from the Star Wars universe. This supposedly includes a film following a younger Boba Fett, and also a young Han Solo (read our <a href="http://www.firstshowing.net/2013/so-just-who-is-the-best-replacement-for-harrison-ford-as-han-solo/" style="color: #996666; text-decoration: initial;">list of potential replacements</a>, with room for age adjustment). We just wish there were some story details to go along with this rumor to make it feel a little more legitimate. But we trust the guys at Latino Review, and hope that an official announcement is around the corner. Of course, with Abrams at the helm, don't expect to get anything too juicy from the studio. </div>

I should be getting a new one tomorrow. On other news I recently went to see the new Die Hard movie, either there was a problem with the cinema or the film as all the Russian speaking scenes didn't have subtitles. Apart from that I thought it was a typical ass kicking Die Hard movie. Plenty of massive explosions and not forgetting Yipee Ki Yay !! Thanks for reading and check back for more posts soon. </p>

<span style="font-family: inherit;"><a name='more'></a></span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"></span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-oONqCgueP0g/UREJMRsN1iI/AAAAAAAAAQE/JDbTlzEd36U/s1600/argo+banner.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" height="213" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-oONqCgueP0g/UREJMRsN1iI/AAAAAAAAAQE/JDbTlzEd36U/s320/argo+banner.jpg" width="320" /></a><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-oONqCgueP0g/UREJMRsN1iI/AAAAAAAAAQE/JDbTlzEd36U/s1600/argo+banner.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"></span></a></div>
<span style="font-family: inherit;"> </span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;">The prize, awarded on Saturday, would normally make Affleck a near shoo-in to win best director at the Oscars on 24 February, since the DGA recipient almost always goes on to claim the same prize at Hollywood's biggest night.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;">But Affleck surprisingly missed out on an Oscar directing nomination, along with several other key favourites including fellow Directors Guild contenders Kathryn Bigelow for Zero Dark Thirty and Tom Hooper for Les Miserables.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Affleck's Oscar snub has not hurt Argo and may even have earned it some favour among awards voters as an underdog favourite. Argo has dominated other awards since the Oscar nominations.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;">"I don't think that this makes me a real director, but I think it means I'm on my way," said Affleck, who won for only his third film behind the camera.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Backstage at the Directors Guild awards, Affleck said he had nothing but respect for the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences, which awards the Oscars, and that "you're not entitled to anything".</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;">With 12 Oscar nominations, Steven Spielberg's civil war saga Lincoln initially looked like the Academy favourite over other potential favourites such as Les Miserables and Zero Dark Thirty, since films generally have little chance of winning best picture if they are not nominated for best director. Only three films have done it in 84 years, most recently 1989's best picture winner Driving Miss Daisy, which failed to earn a directing nomination for Bruce Beresford.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"></span><br />
<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-8GJ0s3dqZkA/UREJNLb1xuI/AAAAAAAAAQM/4xXl1UGa5mI/s1600/114851760_argo_346644b.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" height="213" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-8GJ0s3dqZkA/UREJNLb1xuI/AAAAAAAAAQM/4xXl1UGa5mI/s320/114851760_argo_346644b.jpg" width="320" /></a><span style="font-family: inherit;">But Affleck's Argo, in which he also stars as a CIA operative who hatches a bold plan to rescue six Americans during the hostage crisis in Iran, has swept up all the major awards since the Oscar nominations. Argo won best drama and director at the Golden Globes and top film honours from the Screen Actors Guild and the Producers Guild of America.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"></span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-8GJ0s3dqZkA/UREJNLb1xuI/AAAAAAAAAQM/4xXl1UGa5mI/s1600/114851760_argo_346644b.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"></span></a><br /></div>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Many of the same film professionals who vote in guild awards also cast ballots for the Oscars, so all the wins for Argo are a strong sign that the film has the inside track for best picture.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Milos Forman, a two-time DGA and Oscar winner for One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest and Amadeus, received the group's lifetime achievement award. The Guild president, Taylor Hackford, led the assembled crowd in a toast to Forman, who was ill and unable to attend.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Malik Bendjelloul won the guild's documentary award for Searching for Sugar Man, his study of the fate of critically acclaimed but obscure 1970s singer-songwriter Rodriquez. The film is also nominated for best documentary at the Oscars.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Jay Roach won the guild trophy for TV movies and miniseries for Game Change, his drama starring Julianne Moore as Sarah Palin in her 2008 vice-presidential run.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Roach said he watched John McCain rush to choose Palin as his running mate, potentially putting her second in line for the presidency.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;">"I said, 'We gotta talk about this,'" Roach joked.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Girls star Lena Dunham earned the guild honour for TV comedy, while Rian Johnson won for drama series for Breaking Bad.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;">"It is such an unbelievable honour to be in the company of the people in this room, who have made me want to do this with my life," Dunham said.</span><br />
