Is 48th computer animated film produced by Walt Disney Animation Studios.

For super-dog Bolt (John Travolta), every day is filled with adventure, danger and intrigue -- at least until the cameras stop rolling. When the star of a hit TV show is accidentally shipped from his Hollywood soundstage to New York City, he begins his biggest adventure yet -- a cross-country journey through the real world to get back to his owner and co-star, Penny (Miley Cyrus). Armed only with the delusions that all his amazing feats and powers are real, and the help of two unlikely traveling companions -- a jaded, abandoned housecat named Mittens (Susie Essman) and a TV-obsessed hamster named Rhino (Mark Walton) -- Bolt discovers he doesn't need superpowers to be a hero.

HDTV Buying Guide

When you start shopping, keep in mind that HDTV requires three parts:

• A source, such as a local, cable or satellite HDTV station
• A way to receive the signal, like an antenna, cable or satellite service
• An HDTV set

Most people start with the set. You can choose:

• An integrated HDTV, which has a digital tuner, also known as an ATSC tuner, built in. If a station near you is broadcasting in HDTV, you can attach an antenna to an integrated set and watch the station in high definition.
• An HDTV-ready set, also called an HDTV monitor, which does not have an HDTV tuner. HDTV-ready sets often have NTSC tuners, so you can still watch analog TV with them. This is the option for you if you want to have HDTV capabilities later on but aren't ready for the financial commitment now. Your picture quality will still be better than on your old TV, but it won't be high definition until you get an HDTV receiver.

Designing and building an HDTV that could display all of the ATSC formats would be virtually impossible. For this reason, HDTVs have one or two native resolutions. When the TV receives a signal, it will scale the signal to match its native resolution and de-interlace the signal if necessary. A good rule of thumb is to choose a set that has a native resolution matching the signals you plan to use most often. Film fans will generally want displays with the highest possible resolution. Sports fans will generally want displays with the highest possible progressive frame rate.



If you receive a signal that has a significantly lower resolution than your screen can display, all the extra pixels won't help it look better. This is why some people who have bought HDTVs have been dismayed at the quality of the picture - the existing analog signal just doesn't have enough detail to look good on a high-definition set. As broadcasters change to a digital signal, this problem will improve substantially.

Equipment and Signal
When you've found an HDTV with a screen size, aspect ratio and native resolution you want, you'll need to make sure the equipment you already own will work with it. If you already have a DVD player, a DVR, game consoles or other equipment, make sure that they can connect to the TV directly or through an audio/visual receiver. Many HDTVs have High-Definition Multimedia Interface (HDMI) connections, which can transmit audio/visual signals to the TV without compression. In some cases, you can use adapters to make your equipment compatible with your set.
Once you've picked up your set and installed it in your home, you'll need to get a signal. To get a signal, you can use:

• An antenna - Depending on your location relative to the stations you want to watch, a set of rabbit ears might do, but you might need a rooftop or attic antenna. You can buy an antenna that's specially made for digital signals, but any reliable VHF/UHF antenna will work.
• Cable - Keep in mind that digital cable is not the same as HDTV. You'll need to check with your provider to determine which packages include HDTV stations. You'll also either need a set-top cable box or a CableCARD™ to allow your television to receive and decode the cable signal.
• Satellite service - As with cable, check with your provider to determine which plans and stations use HDTV signals. You may need a different satellite dish and tuner to receive HDTV signals via satellite.

Set at the end of the eighteenth century, The Duchess is the story of the beautiful and, glamorous Georgiana Spencer, the most fascinating woman of the age. While her beauty and charisma made her name, her extravagant tastes and appetite for gambling and love made her infamous. Married young to the older, distant Duke of Devonshire, intimate of ministers and princes, Georgiana became a fashion icon, a doting mother, a shrewd political operator and darling of the common people. But at the core of her story is a desperate search for love. From Georgiana’s passionate and doomed affair with Earl Grey to the complex ménage à trois with her husband and her best friend, Lady Bess Foster, The Duchess is a very contemporary tale of fame, notoriety and the search for love. (Her love child with Lord Grey was Eliza Courtney).

100 inch for your home theater...

I found this article on the net. It seems innovative and creative. But I haven't try it. Just can't wait to share it with the world. Anybody have do this before, can contribute by leaving comment.

This about Cheap 100+ inch TV for your home theater. Huh.. it seem cool.. Ok.. here the DIY step.

Tools and Material

• Measuring tools (Yardstick or measuring tape)
• Duct tape or a heavy non-transparent packing tape
• Black flat spray paint. (Don't use glossy paint)
• Scissors or cutter
• A pencil
• Large cardbox
• Ofcoz.. a television
• Magnifyer

Directions
1. Measure the vertical and horizontal dimensions of your TV screen


2. Using the vertical measurements from step 1, cut two piece for your projector. Each piece should be 36 inch long and as wide as the vertical measurement of your TV sceen


3. Using the measurements from step 1, cut the top and bottom pieces. Each piece should be 35" long and as wide as the horizontal measurement of your tv screen.


4. Cut a piece of a cardboard the same size as your TV screen. This is your focus board.

5. Find the middle of the focus board by drawing 2 lines from corner to corner.

6. Place the magnifying lens exactcly on the focus board center point. Trace around the lens and remove it from the focus board.


7. Cut a hole int the focus board just slightly smaller than the shape traced in step 6.

8. Now you have all your pieces cut. Spray paint all cardboard pieces black. Note, do not paint the magniying lens

9. To complete the focus board, attach the magnifying lens to it using your duct tape. Run the tape around the edges of the lens. Do not apply tape to the center of the lens. Make sure it is securely in place.

10. Get your four(4) 36" sidepieces that you made in steps 2&3 and lay them side by side. Tape the long edges together to make a box with open ends. Be sure to use plenty of tape, as do not want any light to escape from the box.

11. Slide the focus board with the attached lens halfway into your box. You may need to trim it to fit. It mus fit squarely into the box and parallel to the TV screen.

12. Attach the box you have made to the front of your TV screen with the duct tape. Be sure to cover any gaps. The less light that escapes from the box the clearer your picture will be.

13. Point the TV and attached projector unit at a white wall or screen. A white sheet can also serve as an effective screen if your walls are not white. Make sure the TV is on a level surface and at least 2 feet away from the wall. THe further your TV, the larger your picture will be. The darker the room, the brighter the picture is.


14. Turn your TV on and adjust the focus by moving the focus board backward or forward inside the box. If you do not get a clear picture, you may need to turn your focus board the other way around. You can also adjust the brightness on your TV to help get a better picture.

15. After you get the projector focus and the lens in place, you can cut off excess length from the projector box. Will allow for better viewing.

16. If your image is reversed or inverted, you can do 2 things. One Turn your TV upside down.

17. Another is reversed the image, using mirror at 45-degree angle in front the lens. Same principle used in school overhead projectors. If you choose to use the mirror, you will need one that is as large as the lens in your projector box.

18. If you decide to use a mirror, lay your TV on its back and face it towards the ceiling with the projector assembly attached.



19. Take a piece of cardbox twice as wide as your mirror and cut the shape. Make sure that the triangle on each side are at 45 degree angles.

20. Attach the mirror to the middle of the cardboard using tape or glue.

21. Fold down the triangles at each end and tape to the focus board to complete the projector assembly. Fix the projector assembly in place with tape.

22. Enjoy the show...

Wealthy socialite Charlotte Cartwright (Kathy Bates) and her dear friend Alice Pratt (Alfre Woodard), a working class woman of high ideals, have enjoyed a lasting friendship throughout many years. Suddenly, their lives become mired in turmoil as their adult children’s extramarital affairs, unethical business practices and a dark paternity secret threaten to derail family fortunes and unravel the lives of all involved.

While cheating on his wife Jillian (Kadee Strickland) with a string of ongoing dalliances with his mistress Andrea, William’s true focus is to replace the COO of his mother’s lucrative construction corporation.

Meanwhile, Alice’s other daughter Pam (Taraji P. Henson), a kind but no nonsense woman married to a hard working construction worker, Ben (Tyler Perry), tries to steer the family in a more positive direction. The film will be released September 12, 2008.
