Classical Baby is an HBO program that is geared towards children and adults. It offers classical music that is played while cartoons of animals, clowns, and other various scenes are shown. As a learning tool it is fairly useful since it provides a tasteful and uplifting soundtrack as well as calming and neutral images that are still bright and colorful for infants and babies to look at. There are five episodes that are run continually, and those are the Art show, the Music show, the Dance show, and Classical baby 1 and Classical baby 2. There is also an episode

As a parent, one of the biggest challenges to a young child is finding something that will keep them occupied. It’s often difficult to spend every single waking moment with your child so you want to make sure that if you are in fact trying to distract them with television, that it’s something they like. As important, you don’t want the program to completely waste their time. An education element is also key. For the super young children like your 1-3 year old’s, this isn’t an easy task. But there’s one program that I call my “go to” and that’s

Back in the 90s we didn’t have fancy time wasters like iPads and Angry Birds, so we had to occupy our time by relying on stupid things like talking to other people and using our brains. These were truly dark times, but they were made less dreary by three students at Albright College, who in 1994 made up the greatest movie geek trivia game of all time: Six Degrees of Kevin Bacon. For those not in the know (you youngsters are so cute), Six Degrees of Kevin Bacon is a takeoff of the six degrees of separation theory that says no two people in the world are separated by more than six connections. For these purposes, the theory is that no actor is separated from the prolific Kevin Bacon by more than six shared credits. A traffic-driving celebrity like Justin Bieber, for instance, is separated from Kevin Bacon by four connections: Bieber was in School Girls with...

Danny Boyle, director of Slumdog Millionaire, won the Directors Guild of America award Saturday night. It was the first time Boyle has been nominated for the award.
Boyle beat out fellow nominees David Fincher (The Curious Case of Benjamin Button), Gus Van Sant (Milk), Christopher Nolan (The Dark Knight) and Ron Howard (Frost/Nixon).
After taking this prize and the Golden Globe for “Best Director,” it seems Danny Boyle is the man to beat on February 22 at the Oscars. The DGA Award has matched the Academy Award for “Best Director” all but six times since 1948 when the guild started presenting awards. It was a well-deserved win for the British director.
I picked Slumdog over Dark Knight as my favorite film of the year for a reason. Christopher Nolan is my favorite director working today, but Boyle has proven he can conquer any genre with solid, underrated films. He made a name for himself with Trainspotting,...

The Little Movie That Could can do no wrong. Danny Boyle was handed the DGA Award for outstanding directorial achievement in feature film for "Slumdog Millionaire."
Boyle walked away with the honor Saturday night during the DGA's annual awards ceremony at the Hyatt Regency Century Plaza Hotel. David Fincher ("The Curious Case of Benjamin Button"), Gus Van Sant ("Milk"), Christopher Nolan ("The Dark Knight") and Ron Howard ("Frost/Nixon"), who won the award in 1995 and 2001, also were nominated.
It was Boyle's first DGA nomination.
"If I can get here, you can get here," Boyle said from the podium, with the presenting Coen brothers behind him. "Dream hard."
It's been a miracle year for Boyle, the 52-year-old British director of "Shallow Grave," "Trainspotting," "A Life Less Ordinary," "The Beach," "28 Days Later...," "Millions" and "Sunshine." He's already been named the year's best director by several critics groups and took the top...

Danny Boyle claimed the top prize which also includes Unit Production Manager: Sanjay Kumar, First Assistant Director: Raj Acharya, Second Assistant Director: Avani Batra and Second Second Assistant Director: Sonia Nemawarkar.

HBO’s "John Adams" solidified its position as an Emmy frontrunner, converting eight of its 23 nominations to lead the way at the Primetime Creative Arts Emmy Awards.
The two most nominated series, AMC's critical darling "Mad Men" and NBC’s Emmy-winning "30 Rock" followed with four and three wins, respectively.
"John Adams’"s wins for casting, costumes, prosthetic makeup, visual effects, sound mixing, editing, cinematography and art direction gave HBO 16 overall nods to lead all networks, followed by ABC and PBS with nine apiece and CBS with eight.
There was a sense of deja vu at the ceremony held Saturday at the Emmys’ new home, the Nokia Theater.
For the second year in a row, Bravo's "Kathy Griffin: My Life on the D-List," topped the outstanding reality series category.
And for a second consecutive year, an obscenity-laced song from a late-night show won the original music and lyrics category. Last year,...
