Recently, on my quest for more entertainment news, I
stumbled upon Hollywood.com and became completely enamored! It quickly became my “go-to” place for facts,
and fun, concerning the entertainment industry and here is my list of why you
should check it out:
1)
Site’s “ease of use”
I’m someone who HATES a cluttered
website loaded with colors and music or commercials that start blasting out of
nowhere. Hollywood.com isn’t one of
those sites. Everything on the homepage
is organized so that visitors can quickly access specific information or browse
certain topics. The on-site ads are not
intrusive at all. Kudos for proper ad placement!
2)
The awesome “Movies” section!
The “Movies” tab has everything
from upcoming movie trailers, movie reviews and satirical articles hailing a
film’s shortcomings. At the moment an
article entitled “17 Reasons Anna Kendrick Would Make An Awesome Girlfriend” is
trending on the site as well as an interesting review of the film “TheHundred-Foot Journey”. The movie review
titles are cleverly written and will make you either run toward the theater to
see the film or to the hills to get away from them. The articles are well written, factual and
entertaining.
3)
It’s slightly “gossipy” but I like it!
With articles like “5 Actresses YouNever Knew Married Their Directors”, “Jada Pinkett Smith Finally Addresses ThatControversial Willow Smith Photo”, “Why is Chris Brown’s New Neighbor AlreadyThreatening to Shoot Him?”, and even the darkly comedic “The 12 Celebrities WhoWant to Punch Justin Beiber in the Face” Hollywood.com rivals even the juiciest
gossip magazine but does it with every piece founded in facts.
4)
And the list goes on. . .
The “List” tab has 20 of the most
diverse lists ever. From “25 BiopicsEveryone Should See” to “Ranking Every Actor Who Has Played Hercules (fromWorst to Best)", this section has a movie list for every occasion. For those who have a Netflix subscription
there’s the “25 Shows You Must Add to Your Netflix Queue” list. In the mood for a great romantic comedy? Try
“The 20 Funniest Romantic Comedies of All Time”. Want to relive the days of your youth? Read “26 Movies that Defined Your Childhood”. Have you been given a short
life expectancy? “The Ultimate MovieBucket List: Top 100 Movies of All Time” is the best choice for you!
5)
A Picture’s Worth A Thousand Words
The “Photos” section features a
“Hot Photos of the Day” slideshow that shows celebrities doing everything from
Miley Cyrus dog walking (she’s walking . . . while holding a dog . . . that
counts right?) to Katy Perry in a “pizza-patterned onesie” (it’s strange, I
know). It’s always a boost to the
regular Jane’s ego to see celebrities caught in candid moments, sans makeup,
and in frumpy gym clothes. It makes them
seem more “real”, more human even, to those of us on the outside looking in.
Hollywood.com
gives you nearly everything you need to make an informative decision when
selecting a great film. If you’re the
kind of person that likes to keep up on which movies are sweeping the BoxOffice, Hollywood.com lists the top 10 movies in the country and how much
they’ve grossed to date. The list is
updated weekly and also included the number of theaters that show each
movie. Personally, I like to base my
movie viewing on reviews, buzz and catchy trailers but, no matter how you like
to get your current entertainment information, Hollywood.com is the place to go
for it!
