There are no heavy people on TV, but if you look around, they are everywhere. Houses are huge on TV—not in real life. There are no gum-spotted sidewalks or weedy verges on the television. If you believed the ads on television, you'd own at least a dozen cars.

Today, I am interviewing my very close friend Nathan Hayes (male, 14). He is struggling with a slow disease called Retinitis Pigmentosa (RP). We both do competitive fighting and he travels with me and the competition team at Focus Martial Arts & Fitness. He first found out he was going blind when he was 10 years old. He just said “Oh, just another obstacle.” and continued living a normal life. He Made a ‘Bucket List’ where he wrote a list of things he wanted to do and see before he goes blind,…

Most people have heard of Pretty Little Liars before, and if not, a brief summary of the book is a girl disappears and then her friends start getting text messages from somebody named A, that threatens to tell all of their secrets basically.

I still don't really know a lot about women's history because it was never something they taught when I was in school. And they still don't do a very good job of teaching it in school. So those kinds of things always fascinate me because I love history. {pause} So with this mini-series, how many episodes are you planning? wp-1474256234630.pngRight now, we're thinking about ten episodes. That's the number we have in mind. It is scripted, and there will be actors. It's not a documentary. We are…

Some want to watch movies that have strong women roles likes, “Charlies Angels”. Some want to watch horror movies like, “Texas Change Saw Massacre”. Now the majority of people want to watch movies with guns, fast cars, sexy women or sexy men and violence. Within these type of movies there is always drugs or sex involved. When you get to these type of movies…

Is Banksy’s film “Exit Through the Gift Shop” considered a documentary or hoax? Many viewers have been contemplating this unfathomable conundrum ever since its release.

One of the new century myths is about making your baby smarter by watching baby TV. Some parents are trying to get their children ahead of the game and are using…

Everyone knows about the American movie business. Millions of dollars go into financing big movie projects just to entertain ourselves away from the real world, and millions of dollars are sent back in tickets to go see these films.
