The Devil Wears Prada

DVD Title: The Devil Wears Prada
DVD Release Date: December 12, 2006
Starring: Anne Hathaway, Meryl Streep, Stanley Tucci, Simon Baker, Emily Blunt

DVD Review: Anne Hathaway puts in a stellar performance as Andy — a young woman who comes to New York and scores a job as the assistant to a magazine editor. “The Devil Wears Prada” is successful in portraying the fashion world in New York and also the personal dilemmas that build personal character. It is the story of the individual within a vast industry.

Little Miss Sunshine

Little Miss Sunshine

DVD Title: Little Miss Sunshine
DVD Release Date: December 19, 2006
Starring: Steve Carell, Toni Collette, Greg Kinnear, Alan Arkin, Abigail Breslin.

DVD Review: The Hoover family treks from Albuquerque to the Little Miss Sunshine pageant in Redondo Beach, California, to fulfill the deepest wish of 7-year-old Olive, an ordinary little girl with big dreams. The family is so burdened with their own quirks, neuroses, and problems that they can barely make it through a day without some disaster befalling them. Mining humor from subjects like suicide, drug abuse and bad parenting, it is a bitter, but surprisingly funny film.

How To Get The Best NFL Experience

While the regular season gives us a taste of NFL excitement, nothing beats the playoffs. That holds especially true if your favorite team has made it that far. For the month of January us Americans relegate our weekends to watching modern day gladiators battle for the championship. In fact, most of the highest rated shows in television history are NFL playoff games. There is no secret that we love our football, and want the best way possible to see it.

When I don’t have the luxury of watching a game from the stands, I settle for the comfort of my living room. This allows me to go to the bathroom without waiting, eat my own food and drink my own beverages. Not only does it save money, it can actually be a more pleasant experience. For the best time, I prefer to watch the NFL playoff games in HD (high definition) programming on satellite TV that I got after coming across this DIRECTTV information. This allows for the best picture and views of the game than any other media.

Whether you are watching the playoffs alone or with friends, there is always a reason to get excited. Watching highly trained athletes push and pull for the title of champions is extremely rewarding. Just make sure that you are watching the game on a good TV, with good reception, otherwise you aren’t getting the best.

Direct TV

At the site: My TV Options you can see what kind of premium television service provider is right for you, like cable or Direct TV. You can make your selections on what is the most important to you. These include things like having sports programming, movies, your local channels of course or even international channels if you want on your direct tv packages.

There’s also a listing along with description of the channels included. The best package I saw was 150+ channels at $29.99 with no equipment to buy. To get that package you can call Directv at 1-800-378-9318.
