New York, NY (PRWEB) September 30, 2009

With Hispanics representing some of America’s most passionate film fans, V-me, the 4th-largest U.S. Hispanic TV network, expands its ongoing movie offer with the premiere of En Pantalla — the first-ever series on Spanish broadcast TV completely devoted to movies.

En Pantalla, airing Wednesdays at 9P (EST) starting September 30, is hosted by Jack Rico, founder and editor-in-chief of ShowBizCafe.com, the first Spanish language website devoted to movies for U.S. Hispanics.

En Pantalla features the latest news, reviews and interviews from the world of cinema. Features include “Pop Movie,” a weekly interactive segment, where viewers go to vmetv.com/enpantalla to rate Jack Rico’s recommended film of the week. The program also provides a special introduction to V-me’s Wednesday night movie, with highlights and anecdotes that enhance the viewing experience.

“Hispanic movie spending and interest for film content is at an all time high,” said Jack Rico. “With Hispanics over-indexing on movie attendance and DVD consumption, and Latin film talent being recognized internationally, a show like En Pantalla on V-me is even more timely and significant.”

Posted on by


Chicago, IL (PRWEB) April 18, 2011

Tim Hart, of Vernon Hills, IL, conceived of Confidence – The Game as the next hit game show. Encouraged by a major production studio to turn the idea into a mobile app, Hart partnered with The App House to bring the game’s unique, family-friendly trivia format to the iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch. Confidence – The Game can be downloaded here.

Players can challenge each other in a head-to-head match-up on the same device, or they can play one of eight different computer opponents with distinct personalities and strengths, including John “Couch QB” Cooper, Rob the Movie Nut, a robot, and other surprise characters.

“The game is designed to make the most of every player’s individual knowledge,” said Hart. “By ranking the categories in order of importance and playing to your own strengths, players give themselves the best chance of #winning. Confidence is a unique format that can bring social, mobile gaming and television together.”

Key gaming features include:

Available for free for a limited time by downloading here from the iTunes App Store. The free version contains more than 600 questions across 90 categories.

In-App Purchases will also unlock five surprise computer opponents.

Players “rank their confidence” based on how well they know certain trivia categories, assigning the highest point values to categories in which they have the most confidence.

Each game consists of three rounds. The winner is the player with the highest score at the end of the third round.

The first two rounds have seven questions each, and third and final round, “Final Confidence,” serves players a single wild-card question where they can wager as many points as they have earned during the game.

More than 60 independent achievements are tracked as you progress, ranging from the Boy Scout award (10 geography questions correctly answered) to the Scrooge McDuck award, obtained from scoring 7,500 career points.

An update will be published in early May, which will introduce a multiplayer network to allow players to face-off remotely.

Players can select from 1 of 4 difficulty settings: Easy, Medium, Hard, and Expert level.

I believe that if she decided to run for President it would be for all the right reasons, so I wanted to see this movie. There has been so much media distortion that its difficult to know what to believe. I encourage everyone to come see the movie, forget everything youve heard, and decide for yourself. Im a big fan.

One politically active teenager that attends Woodland High School in Henry County, Sousaan Guyton, encouraged eighteen of her friends on FaceBook to attend. According to Rob Cunningham, founder of Georgia based Volunteering4Palin, There is a nationally powerful, grassroots enthusiasm level among teenagers. He added, “Sousaan and her friends really connected with Sarah Palin and her story. They wanted to know why they had never learned these facts before tonight. Sousaan is one of approximately nine-hundred members of Youth4Palin, a national volunteer organization founded and directed under the leadership of Elizabeth Hawkes.

Sahar Hekmati, an original Tea Party member, Georgia GOP Chairman for the 13th Congressional District and President of National Conservative Republican Women, contacted everyone she knew to attend one of this week’s premier showings. Mrs. Hekmati said, I read Going Rogue, and I strongly believe Sarah is absolutely prepared for the very serious challenges our nation faces. She went on to say, I especially want women to attend this movie, because I know they will relate to the events in Sarahs life. Hekmati emphasized, This movie is a great way for people to understand how politics really works.

Victory Film Group and Stephen K. Bannon’s latest, The Undefeated, starring Mark Levin, Tammy Bruce, and Andrew Breitbart is in town for a limited engagement, opening this Friday, July 15th, at the AMC Theatres – Barrett Commons 24 at 2600 Cobb Place Lane Northwest.

Documenting Gov. Sarah Palin’s rise from small town mom to national firebrand, the movie profiles the woman who became the nation’s most popular governor and set the stage for a country-wide discussion on the government’s role in our lives.

What a Girl Wants: PlumWillow.com Premieres Style Together, a New Way to Shop and Spend with Peer Approval

Posted on by


New York, NY (PRWEB) September 09, 2011

PlumWillow.com knows what a girl wants: to shop, chat and simultaneously style outfits online with her friends. This teen targeted social shopping site is launching a unique collaborative feature, dubbed Style Together, exclusive to PlumWillow and a first in fashion retail as it incorporates multiple brands and multiple stores. Using Style Together teens can engage their friends in a real-time shopping experience as if they were all in a dressing room together selecting outfits from their favorite retailers (e.g. ModCloth or Delia’s) and their preferred brands (e.g. American Eagle or Aeropostale.) Friends, family, or the online community at large can be involved on multiple levels: the visual, as they assemble outfits with the initiating teen, and the verbal, as they utilize the chat feature to share feedback, voicing opinions about the styled looks.

Collaboration doesnt end with friends. Teens can also co-style with popular bloggers and tastemakers. PlumWillow’s innovative platform – Style Together – enables teen brands real-time interaction with their target market in a dynamic and valuable way. With online retail traffic growing approximately 400% faster than in-store traffic, PlumWillow is a remarkably advantageous tool for retailers looking to step up online engagement of teen consumers, says Elad Baron, Chief Executive Officer of PlumWillow.

PlumWillow’s Style Together feature extends the experience of a virtual trip to the mall into real-time conversation as it allows teens to invite others to style with them. Girls in numerous locations will now together have the ability to drag and drop fashion items on the canvas and as a group create a look they all approve. This breakthrough real-time multi-brand/multi-retailer co-styling platform is a first in the category. It was developed by the in-house tech team at PlumWillow.

“Style Together for the first time allows girls to virtually shop multiple retailers and multiple brands with the immediate gratification of input from their BFF’s – and even those who may be virtual bystanders, objective consumers who log on to share their fashion insights. Our unique real-time feature empowers teens to unleash their inner fashionista as they extend the group shopping experience, says Lindsay Anvik, Director of Marketing, PlumWillow.

PlumWillows integrated multi-brand outfit building platform presently allows teens to select from 900 brands available at approximately 40 participating retailers including GAP, Macy’s, American Eagle Outfitters, Aeropostale, Kohls, Target, Urban Outfitters, dELiA*s and GUESS. All of the items that the site’s teen consumers use to create looks are available for purchase through PlumWillow.com.

To drive consumer interest at launch, Style Together will feature brand partners with proven teen appeal including:

Irish film director Maurice Linnane and stars Lee Arenberg, Jay Thomas and Caroline Morahan will be in attendance at the North American premiere of A Kiss for Jed Wood on May 2 at the Newport Beach Film Festival in California.

A Kiss for Jed Wood, produced by Ignition Films, Tim Palmer, follows the journey of Irish reality TV show winner Orla Cassidy, (Jayne Wisener, Sweeney Todd) as she travels from Dublin to New York in pursuit of American superstar Jed Wood (Neal Bledsoe). Accompanied by Ray Timmons, (Mark O’Halloran, Adam and Eve) her reluctant cameraman, Mike, (Lee Arenberg, Pirates of the Caribbean) the soundman they hire in America, and Freddie (Rafael Sardina), self-proclaimed employee of the superstar, Orlas story becomes fodder for morning radio show host Carter (Jay Thomas) on mythic New York station The Great 108.
