Hello,
I’ve recently created a Netvibes account, which allows me to
essentially filter through entertainment blogs and news sites. It’s fantastic because it gives me the
opportunity to look at the top stories of the day in one location.
I would normally have to travel from individual site to
individual site. While clicking through
all of these websites doesn’t necessarily add a substantial amount of time to
my daily morning internet browsing, but it gives me a cheat sheet for daily
headlines.
There are reasons why I have these specific websites linked
to the page. I added several blogs that
I stumbled across so that I can receive the most up to date posts. But I am especially happy to have news in one
location.
I generally like to have a mixture of sources. As an individual who is located in the mix of
the entertainment industry I like to see what is occurring in Los Angeles. Placing the Los Angeles Times and news sites
such as CNN into this netvibe dashboard gives me the opportunity to take a look
at all aspects of the entertainment industry. I like to know what entertainment
news is making the global rounds. I
have general news sites, entertainment blogs, and entertainment news sites
here.
Deadline is an absolute favorite of mine. This news site is formatted like a blog but
it gives the most up-to-date information and news about the entertainment
industry. Because it extensively covers
the business element within the entertainment industry, I have to hop onto
another website if I want to specifically read about celebrity antics.
It’s interesting because in this one place and I can stumble
across the film review articles such as “The Monuments Men can be lengthy but
provides historical value” and “Making the most of the Mediocrity of Monuments
Men.” The two headlines caught my eyes
and I quickly opened both tabs to read about the seemingly differing opinions.
As a World War II history buff and film student this film
was already on my radar. I’ve been
meaning to read the book that it was based off of. But I have no love lost for George Clooney
despite Hollywood’s love for him.
Because there are seemingly opposing titles and viewpoints,
I’m suddenly interested in what they have to say about Monuments Men. I’ve had my eye on the project since it’s
announcement. I was originally dissuaded
by the aging cast and the attempt convince the audience that they indeed were
able soldiers ready to be sent to the front to reclaim priceless and historical
works of art. Cate Blanchett and Jean Dujardin
were stand-out figures that reeled my curiosity back in.
Without spotting the conflicting headings I would have
happily gone on to attempt to watch the film by the time it was released on
DVD. But now that I’ve read about it, I
might make the attempt to view it in theatres (after all it’s been a while
since a history-based film has been released.)
I feel like numerous amounts of sequels or remakes have been hitting
theaters in the past year. It will be
nice to view a historical-based film for a change.
