There is vampire madness going around and its infecting everything from books to movies to tv shows! Tell me which series you follow!! leave your comments below and tell me which vampire is your favorite?? or hey if you're into twilight, which wolf?

So what's up with all the 3-D??

So has anyone noticed the increasing amount of movies coming out in 3D lately? I mean it seems like every series ends with a 3D movie. Take the Saw movies for example, Saw 3D is coming out and so is Jackass 3D.. both coming this month! There's also so many cartoon movies coming out in 3D. Despicable Me, Shrek 3D and many more. Many of the movies seem to instead of coming out with just their 3rd movie.. it also has to be 3D..  like Step Up 3-D.. and Toy Story 3-D.. In 2010 over 20 movies have either come out in 3D or have yet to come, the highest number of 3D movies per year! Only a decade ago 3D movies were out but very rare, not a few a month like now.. and the number has slowly increased every year but made a drastic increase in the past two years alone. Its crazy how everything seems to slowly be changing, cartoons, horror movies, everything is coming out in 3D. Even TV's are being made in 3D.. the progression of technology in entertainment is astounding and rapidly changing within our own lifetime! Lemme know what you think about the amount of 3D movies coming out this year!! Comment some favorites or some of the worst 3D movies you have seen !! thankkss!! =]

What's New: Media Today

Hey guys! So this is a blog about different entertainment topics popular today! Well to start off I thought I would talk about this new show called The Event on NBC. The show originally aired on September 20, 2010. I began watching it however last week on the 27th and I watched the first two episodes together. The way the show progresses is very interesting. It shows random days, and it is not in sequence, but it will tell you how many days earlier from present day they are showing at the moment, almost like flashbacks.
As the show begins, we see someone trying to stop a plane from take-off. All of the radios go down at once and the whole system is down. We see a chase between car and plane and all the while the audience is left out of the loop being brought in little by little with these flashbacks. As events take a turn for the worse, we see a murder, a kidnapping, an assassination attempt,a hijacking, prisoners, and much more! I don't want to say too much now so I don't spoil it for anyone because it is a new show, but go out there and watch it and come back! Everything is fair game in the comments! So don't read them till you have watched the show!
I think as a new show it is a little interesting, but the whole sci-fi thing may or may not hold my interest for very long. If you've seen the show I'd love to hear what you have to say! leave a comment and lemme know what you think! =]

A little bit about me and Mediacritique

Hey guys! My name is Mary Azer and I'm a student at St. John's University in the pharmacy program. A little bit about myself is that I was born in Egypt and raised in New Jersey, so I am bilingual and speak fluent Arabic as well as English! I have two boys in my life that I love to death and they are my nephews Cyril Mina Azer and Gregory Basil Azer. <3 I have two older brothers, a doctor and a pharmacist, and my father is a pharmacist as well (go figure my major!)

Now a little bit about the blog background! One of my hobbies that I really enjoy is reading! I love to sit down with a good book on a rainy day like today and pass the time reading about warm sunny weather, or just anything I'm into at the moment. Obviously I'm not only a book worm because I can't help giving in to a favorite TV show or movie. This blog is going to be a little bit about everything from books, to shows, to movies, and everything in between!

Hope you guys enjoy the blog and let me know what YOU think!! =]
