9. Belle – Another Disney princess, Belle starred alongside the Beast in “Beauty and the Beast”. She’s also an official Disney Princess, one of the seven Princesses of the Heart and star of numerous Disney cartoon series.

8. Xena – Our first non-Disney princess to make the list, Xena is different than the other princesses on this list in many ways. As the title character in the “Xena: Warrior Princess” series, the pop culture phenom is a feminist and lesbian icon and blazed a trail for a new generation of female action heroes.

7. Zelda – The first, but not only or most popular, video game princess on the list made her first appearance in Nintendo’s 1986 classic “The Legend of Zelda”. Later starring in several Zelda sequels, the Princess of Hyrule is eventually rescued by her hero, Link, and they live happily ever after until she’s kidnapped again.

6. Peach – The most popular and beloved video game princess of all time goes to Princess Peach, one of the star’s of perhaps video game’s most popular franchise of all time, Super Mario Bros. The prototypical “damsel in distress”, Peach has won just about every video game award for her category, and is included on Forbes’ Wealthiest Fictional People list, with a fortune upwards of $1 billion.

5. Fiona – Voiced in the three Shrek movies by Cameron Diaz, Fiona is an interesting princess in that she was once a fair maiden before choosing to be turned into the lovely gnome you can find wandering around Disneyland or on her very own Myspace page. Diaz will reprise her role as Princess fiona in 2010′s “Shrek Forever After”, the fourth feature installment in the series.

4. Diana – No not that Diana, the other Diana, or as she’s better known, Wonder Woman. Originally created during World War II, Wonder Woman was usually found fighting Axis military forces before later joining the Justice League and becoming perhaps the most well known female superhero in all of comics.

3. Leia – Carrie Fisher’s role as Princess Leia Organa in the orignial Star Wars trilogy not only changed her life, but those of every adolescent boy ever since. The twin sister to Luke, the most famous Jedi in the galaxy, Leia helped thwart the Empire and the Dark Side before marrying Han Solo in later Star Wars lore.

2. Cinderella – Disney’s parade of popular princesses continues with Cinderella, star of hundreds of tales and of course Disney’s movie of the same name. As a symbol of triumphing over oppression, Cinderella has helped inspire millions to overcome living in unfortunate circumstances and wears perhaps the most famous slipper in all of fiction.

1. Snow White – Starring in the 1937 Disney classic “Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs”, Snow White is forced into servitude by her jealous stepmother, the Queen. Throughout, she never loses faith that one day her prince will come and take her away. Her faith, cheerfulness and kind nature earned her a place as one of Disney’s Princesses of the Heart and the top spot as the world’s most popular fictional princess.

If you have a thing for movies and even plan to be the next Michael Bay or Spielberg, then you may be considering film school. As a matter of fact, you have a lot of options. You only have to figure out which one will bring you to winning an Academy Award.

However, selecting the school that you are going to attend may not be that simple. You need to gather as much information as you can about film schools so it becomes easier for you to choose and make a wise decision. Don’t you just wish that you can have a site or a book that would inform you of the right school to pick for yourself. It’s just too bad that there is no one source to provide you with all those. A solution to this would be to check out school rankings because these can provide helpful information.

A quantitative analysis of various indicators of excellence is involved in school rankings. These include faculty resources, graduation rate, and retention. In reality, film school rankings appear to depend more on qualitative measures such as the industry’s reputation or the student’s experience. The result is that film school rankings all boils down to those schools that have created a good name in showbiz or those that have made big-name and promising directors in the industry.

Top film schools can provide degrees and top certification for film production and cinematography, which paves the way for a career as a director, producer, cinematographer, scriptwriter or even a film critic. These top film schools that offer programs in film production and cinematography will help you to obtain a professional certificate or a degree as an associate, baccalaureate, or masters in film editing, media history, digital film creation, camera use, ethics and other subjects related to motion pictures and film media.

Courses in this field are also offered at vocational schools, community colleges, or four-year colleges and universities with top film schools as they try to blend vision with technological expertise. Undergraduate students attend classes that include film history, directing, editing, scriptwriting, production, animation, audio production and film criticism. Production programs are also included in graduate school opportunities and may lead you to having a Master of Fine Arts (MFA). Such degrees as Master of Fine Arts in Film Production or a dual MFA or Master of Business Administration (MBA) in Production may be achieved by any graduate student. Such programs would require MFA students to create at least 5 movies and work as camera operators and crew members at the same time.

New York University and the University of Southern California both have excellent top film schools. They have undergraduate and graduate programs for students who are interested in joining the movie business as producers, filmmakers, scriptwriters and also film critics.

“Reality” Television – Entertainment Or Addiction? | By Patrick E. Ward

For roughly the past decade, or so, there has been a phenomenon that has completely taken over the world by storm…”Reality Television.” The television itself, has been a constant staple in people’s lives since it’s birth in 1925, by John Logie Baird, in Scotland. These shows have taken real life and put them on what was already the most marketable medium there is, the television. The concept in general, is absolutely genius! To take people’s lives and broadcast their day to day situations, (as crazy and dramatic the better) across the world for people to see. These “Reality” television shows not only have taken a hold of people’s lives, but they have literally dominated the television ratings since they first hit the air waves. Saying that these shows have taken a hold of people’s lives is a huge understatement. There are millions of people who are completely obsessed and addicted to the world of “Reality” t.v. and watch these shows religiously week after week. Some people have gone to such an extreme, where they have weekly parties at their homes and invite their friends over to watch their favorite “Reality” shows.

Currently the top five rated or watched “Reality” television shows are…

1.) “Survivor”

This number one rated “Reality” show has been on the air for seventeen seasons. The concept of this show is that they literally drop contestants off in remote places all over the world (such as jungles) and let them manipulate, deceive, and fight to stay on the show. Each week they eliminate a contestant by having them vote off one of their own. Ultimately, the last contestant left wins a million dollars. It’s obviously been addictive for millions of viewers to become the number one rated “Reality” show of all time.

2.) “The Real World”

The number two rated “Reality” show is “The Real World.” Some say this was the first “Reality” show on television. It has been on the air for twenty one seasons. Considering the show aired for the first time and still is on MTV, “The Real World” and has already become syndicated on other networks, truly shows the popularity of the show due to the fact the MTV is a cable channel. This is a show where they find complete strangers, and put them all in one house to live, and watch the drama unfold. (And believe me, if you have ever seen the show, it is filled with more than drama!)

3.) “American Idol”

Now this show’s concept isn’t new to the average American television viewer. It is the next generation of one of the more popular television shows of all time, “Star Search.” This “Reality” show / contest’s ultimate goal is to find the “next big superstar” in the music industry. It has an almost cult-like following, that tunes in every week to see and hear not only, the contestants’ performances, but the judges reactions and comments as well. This is yet another show where America decides the who wins, by voting every week until the next winner is crowned the next “American Idol.”

4.) “The Amazing Race”

“The Amazing Race,” has aired for thirteen season. This show is very unique in it’s own right. They take eleven or twelve teams of two, and travel around the world competing in crazy challenges along the way. The teams’ goal is to not only compete in these crazy challenges, but ultimately be the first team to the finish line, wherever in the world it may be, hence the name…”Amazing Race.”

5.) “The Bachelor”

“The Bachelor,” is yet another “Reality” show that has been on the air for thirteen seasons. Women and romantics are drawn to this show for the fact that it is a “Reality” show about finding true love. (If that’s possible on a television “Reality” show.) Every season, the show finds a bachelor who is sometimes already famous in his own right, and finds twenty five single woman who are looking and hoping to find true love in this bachelor. Like most of these “Reality” shows, these women are eliminated every week, until there is only one left. The show’s ultimate goal is that this bachelor falls in love with the last woman standing, proposes marriage, and will live happily ever after.

When people choose to put their real life on television, and allow cameras to catch their every move and conversation, they don’t realize the consequences that could come with it. Most are so excited for the instant fame, they don’t bother to think about the fact that the entire world will be watching every move that they make. “Reality” television shows, such as “American Idol,” can literally create musical megastars. However, on the other hand, some “Reality” shows can destroy people’s lives and the relationships in which they have, more times than not. Most people choose to be a part of a “Reality” show simply for the popularity and becoming overnight celebrities. No matter what show these people are on, they ultimately do it for one simple reason…money! Regardless of the downfalls and consequences that might come with that instant fame and fortune, they do it for the money. Now, I personally, don’t think that there is enough money in the world to let a camera crew follow me around twenty four hours a day, seven days a week. I wouldn’t be on a “Reality” show for $50 million dollars…who am I kidding? I’d do it for a million dollars!

1930′s Hollywood Movie Memories – The Golden Age of Hollywood | By Carl DiNello

The early part of the 1930′s provided less in the way of Hollywood Movie Memories, and more in the way of memories of the Great Depression. In spite of the decades slow start, Hollywood would go on to have one of the most creatively and financially successful eras in motion picture history.

It was during the 1930′s that Hollywood film making really started to spread its wings. The use of sound in film production, both as background and dialogue, continued to advance. New sound techniques were created and mastered with several competing sound options now available. These sound advancements along with the ability to film in color immediately caused a revolution in motion picture production.

The color film process known as Technicolor became the most widely used in Hollywood right up through the early 1950′s. The Technicolor process produced super-realistic, dazzling color that was used with spectacular success in films such as The Adventures of Robin Hood, Singin’ In The Rain, The Wizard of Oz, and the animated Disney classics Fantasia, and Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs.

The evolution of film genres began to expand and now included gangster films (including the first prison drama), musicals, westerns, screwball comedies, and monster movies. In addition, socially conscious reality films, historical biography’s, and newspaper reporting style movies were now being made. Many of the classic silent films of the 1920′s were being remade with sound, and 1930′s film production now included something called ‘sequels,’ and ‘spin-offs’. There even existed a psychological approach to movie making that produced a large number of adventure and fantasy films to help take the viewers minds off the Great Depression.

The 1930′s also produced probably the largest number of movie firsts than any other decade. A few of these would include little known prop man and B-actor John Wayne’s first starring role in a major motion picture (The Big Trail), the creation of the Motion Picture Production Code (setting film guidelines for violence, sex, crime and religion), The Hollywood Reporter (the first daily newspaper for the film industry), legendary child star Shirley Temple, Three Stooges comedy films, and the first drive-in theatre in Camden, New Jersey.

What started out as a luke-warm film decade suffering from declining attendance as a result of the Depression, finished on a sizzling note with what many consider to be the most Golden Film Year of all 1939.

The 1930′s truly were The Golden Age Of Hollywood.
