Listal – Listing is Fun. It Really Is!

listal Listal – Why list stuff? Because now it’s fun and easier than ever. What’s so special about Listal? According to them, their site is “a place to list, rate, tag and review movies, TV shows, music, games and books.” Add the social community and wiki-like user editing features and you have one of the Web’s best resources for entertainment recommendations.

Some of the lists here are practical, as in stuff you’ll enjoy doing such as reading a recommended book, but there are also lists users created just because they can. See what I mean? Overall however, Listal is a great bundle of suggestions for having a good time. I took advantage of their DVD listings page, offering anything from top owned, top wanted DVDs to top tags (genres in this case, and comedy is right at the top), to top rated and top reviewed DVDs. This is really fun, you should try it. Below is a print screen of their Books listings page. Feel free to create your own list by registering first.

The A.V. Club – The Onion’s For Real Entertainment Guide

avclub The A.V. Club – Forget about the usual TV, movies, music and books guides. They’re just downright boring. The A.V. Club on the other hand is THE entertainment resource you should tune into from now on. Standing for Audiovisual, the A.V. Club is the lovely creation of the satire media giant The Onion, and has always been enclosed in the Paper’s printed edition. But don’t be fooled by The Onion’s nonsense reputation; “The A.V. Club features real interviews, reviews, and other entertainment-related articles.”

The site’s sexy interface, the sublime content and the hundreds of entries in each category (updated on a daily basis) make the A.V. Club, in my opinion, the best entertainment spot currently on the Web. It’s as simple as that. Pick your preferred entertainment category (film, music, TV, books, games, dvd and features) and tap into the issues that are worth your spare time and interest. Click on the pic below to see the posts I enjoyed reading.

Movie Posters Archive – Nostalgia is Beautiful

movieposter Movie Posters Archive – I’m sure you have your own list of all-time favorite movies. Who doesn’t? My top five are Amélie, Pulp Fiction, The Matrix (first of the trilogy), American Beauty and O Brother, Where Art Thou? I could watch each of these movies a hundred times without falling out of love with them. Having that said, if the movie’s advertising poster is a good one, it’s the perfect romanticized experience of the movie itself, and it’s all you need to reminisce in your favorite film’s moments and exquisite scripts. Movie Posters Archive offers a huge database of such posters advertising the classic box office hits as well as the not-so-known yet wonderful recent as well as decade’s old films.

Here are a couple of posters I relished on while I was browsing the site’s archive, and these are two movies I remember watching as a young girl who was blown away by the special effects…

Prison Valley – A First of Its Kind Web Documentary

prisonvalley Prison Valley – Canon City, Colorado is nicknamed Prison Valley as it is the site of 9 state and four federal prisons. The Prison Valley web documentary offers an interactive glimpse into this unusual Colorado area which is, according to the film, an entire community that has sprung up as a result of and around the prisons. Although the actual facts and numbers presented in the film may be the subject of debate and controversy, this web documentary is a first of its kind creation in terms of its HD quality and superb editing.

The film stops intermittently to allow users to interact with the environment and browse around to learn more about Canon City in an engaging way, which is really cool in my opinion. To see the entire movie, you will need to sign in with your Twitter or Facebook account, but once the movie starts, you can choose just how interactive you want to be all the way through. So what’s my verdict? Regardless of your position on the prison-industrial complex issue, I recommend exploring this well executed creative Web project.
