| Online movie world - don't miss it. | | Posted Sunday, January 29, 2006 4:45:52 PM by Alex Molin | It seems everything today is online. And the most thriving online industry is the online movies.
Today you can watch free online movies, or movie trailers, you can download for free new movies directly to your media player and watch it anywhere you like at any time.
You can even find movie scripts online, and if you are not the most modern or technological person, you can use the online movie rental service, or if you insist you can buy movies online.

| | | Cells, dyes and videotape: Online scientific methods journal incorporates multimedia | | Posted Sunday, November 05, 2006 3:29:57 AM by Blog57 Team | | COLD SPRING HARBOR, N.Y. (Fri., Nov. 3, 2006) -- Observing the microscopic mysteries of embryos, cells, and chromosomes is feasible with advanced live imaging technologies. In space and time, researchers can follow the fates of embryos, track migrating cells, and watch how molecules signal and interact with each other--all in their native environments. The current issue of CSH Protocols, released online today (www.cshprotocols.org), includes biomedical research techniques that incorporate this 'cellular cinematography' and--for the first time--adds multimedia content in the form of movie clips. Pictures may be worth a thousand words, but they are static: photographs do not truly capture the lively properties of cells and embryos. Images that move in real time permit biologists to more fully observe and compare biological processes.... | |

| | | Quickflicks: Your Weekend Guide to the Movies | | Posted Monday, August 21, 2006 3:14:40 AM by Blog57 Team | | The story: This is a comedy about high-school failures who tire of rejection letters and invent their own college, setting up online registration, renting an abandoned mental hospital and partying like it's 1979. Yup, the lead is a spin-doctor of Ferris Bueller-like qualities, down to his odd-duck name (Bartleby). It's not as well-financed, as ambitious or as mean as the bloated Talladega Nights, but it has roughly the same number of decent jokes. And the timing here is better. (Roger Moore) Warning: PG: Coarse language. 93 minutes Bon Cop, Bad Cop Grade: B- The story: Colm Feore and Quebecois comedian Patrick Huard star as quarreling cops from Toronto and Montreal, paired up after a body is found on the Ontario-Quebec border. This Canadian effort throws a dollop of poutine on the American action-comedy formula.... | |

| | | Movielink licenses technology for burning online movies to DVDs | | Posted Thursday, August 03, 2006 9:12:30 PM by Blog57 Team | | LOS ANGELES -- Movielink LLC has licensed technology that allows the online movie service's customers to transfer downloaded films to DVDs for playback on standard DVD players. The deal announced Monday with Sonic Solutions clears a technological hurdle for Santa Monica-based Movielink, but the company still lacks permission from Hollywood studios to offer their movies for DVD burning. To date, only adult entertainment company Vivid Entertainment has sold films to consumers online for direct copying to DVDs through an agreement with CinemaNow, a rival of Movielink. Movielink is jointly owned and operated by five Hollywood studios -- Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer Studios, Paramount Pictures, Sony Pictures Entertainment, Universal Studios and Warner Bros. Studios began renting films online several years ago as a way to combat illegal downloading.... | |

| | | Online video boom raises concerns | | Posted Thursday, July 13, 2006 9:24:21 AM by Blog57 Team | | As if porn sites and paedophiles in chat rooms were not worrying enough for parents whose children use the Internet, now online postings of amateur videos featuring partial nudity and violence are raising concerns. The explosion in online video-sharing sites, where clips of any nature can be easily uploaded for the world to see, has become the latest challenge for parents trying to protect their children and for websites coping with obscene submittals. Carol Kiesman, a mother and teacher in Houlton, Maine, enrolled her 14-year-old daughter in a cyberspace club called "Zoey's Room," so the teen could chat away online with other girls in a gated community where all participants are screened. Imagine then how Kiesman cringed when she saw her daughter, 10-year-old son and fourth-grade students recently encounter homemade videos on public Internet sites that included nudity and animal cruelty.... | |
