Andy Williams had it all wrong. Christmastime is not the most wonderful time of the year ll is. Award-quality movies, TV shows returning,nike outlet store. sweaters and pumpkin spice lattes fill my heart with joy. The first time I feel that slight nip in the air, I cant help but smile.

These past few weeks have been so exciting for a movie buff like me. Film festival season is like playoffs for a football nut. Films with such promise and prestige can turn out to be utter disappointments, and underdog films with no-name casts can surprise and become major Oscar contenders. Anything can happen, and like Fantasy Football, the movie-obsessed track their picks every move.

The Venice Film Festival wrapped up this weekend with a few films primed to be huge Oscar bait, getting some extremely mixed reactions. Most divisive of all was Roman Polanskis Carnage starring Jodie Foster, John C. Reilly,Nike soccer cleats Christoph Waltz and Kate Winslet. The film, based on a Tony-winning play, takes place entirely in a single room and plays like a comedic version of Whos Afraid of VirginiaMovies-TV Woolf.

There is no clear front-runner for any of the major awards categories this year nike air max shoes, predicting the nominees even more of a challenge. But if I had to give it an early shot Id predict the silent film The Artist, Steven Spielbergs War Horse or the post-Sept. 11 drama Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close starring Sandra Bullock and Tom Hanks to take home Best Picture this year.

The return of ll is already my TiVo feel overworked and exhausted. Not only are all my vorite shows returning, but there are some very promising new series ready to premiere. The X Factor reunites Simon Cowell and Paula Abdul, and my anticipation could not be higher.

Up All Night starring Christina Applegate, Will Arnett and Maya Rudolph looks like it could be hilarious, and with that cast why wouldnt it be?

Even harder to predict than the Oscars will be which new series is the first to be canceled. My vote goes to Whitney starring the Chelsea Lately regular Whitney Cummings. A show with a laugh track will feel completely out of place on NBCs Thursday night lineup.

Returning shows also have a lot to prove this year. Will a Steve Carell-less The Office crumble without him? Will Ashton Kutcher be obnoxious or funny on Two and a Half Men? Will Glee ever be truly great again? All these burning questions and more will be revealed in the next few weeks.

For a preppy guy like me, nothing in my closet should ever go out of -. This is one of the biggest reasons I love ll so much. I am obsessed with sweaters. J. Crews cotton-cashmere V-neck sweater should be a staple in every guys wardrobe. I have one in almost every color Nike mercurial vapor superfly, no joke. You can dress them up with a pair of khakis and a button-down underneath or keep it casual with jeans. Im anxiously awaiting the day when the forecast says its chilly enough to make the trip to St. Louis to bring back my ll clothes.

Just last week I walked into Starbucks and immediately grinned from ear to ear. The pumpkin spice latte was back! It was still a bit warm outside to order a hot one, so iced would have to suffice. Pumpkin spice treats are my crack in autumn. Whether its bread, muffins, pancakes or pies, I just cant get enough of it. But has anybody ever eaten a pumpkin by itself? If it tastes like it smells, these delicious treats have to be more spice than pumpkin. But whatever the ratio, I apologize to all my closest friends in advance for my pumpkin spice breath all season long.

By now it should be quite obvious that I am crazy for ll. I didnt even get to mention football season, tailgates, leaves changing colors and the release of the iPhone 5. The things I love about this season are practically endless. My only gripe is that ll leads to a very dreaded winter.

Netflix, less than one week into a rate hike thatsdrawn the ire of U.S. subscribers,nike air max shoes. is taking its OTT video service to 43 countries in Latin America and the Caribbean.

The subscription-video service went live in Brazil Monday and launches in another 40+ nations by Sept. 12. Brazilians can sample the service free for one month. First announced earlier this summer, its the first venture outside of North America for Netflix, which launched in Canada one year ago.

We are excited to be bringing Netflix to Latin America and the Caribbean, said Reed Hastings nike outlet store,Nike soccer shoes co-founder and CEO of Netflix. People throughout the region are online in ever-greater numbers and they love movies and TV shows. We are proud to bring them the Netflix experience of instantly enjoying as many movies and TV shows as they want, when they want for one low price.

Video from Netflix is available on a variety of devices, including computers, game consoles and smart TVs. The Portuguese-language version will cost Brazilians $15 per month ($9 U.S.). The Spanish-language version of the streaming service hits Argentina (39 pesos or $9.25 U.S. per month), Paraguay and Uruguay ($8 U.S.) on Wednesday.

Chile and Bolivia debut on Thursday at similar prices, followed by Colombia, Peru Nike mercurial vapor superfly, Venezuela and Ecuador on Friday. Mexico, Central America and the Caribbean will get their first look at Netflix on Monday, Sept. 12. The service in the Caribbean will be available in both English and Spanish.

This might be just the beginning of a global expansion for Netflix. The company is widely expected to expand to parts of Europe in early 2012. On Sept. 1, the company enacted a 60 percent rate hike on its DVD+streaming serviceMovies-TV in the U.S., something it surely hopes drops off the front page with this latest announcement.

LeBron James has rented six cabanas at the W Hotel South Beach this weekend to celebrate his team decision, two sources confirm toUsMagazine-.

That adds more fuel to the fire that James Nike Air force, 25, will announce hes joining the Miami Heat Thursday night, as several insiders toldESPN this morning. (Hes still confirmed to attend NBA star Carmelo Anthonys Saturday-night wedding to former MTV VJ LaLa Vazquez in NYC.)

PHOTOS: Stars who date athletes!

The basketball great will make his announcement from the Boys and Girls Club of Greenwich, Conn. Thursday night during an hourlong sports special called The Decision, to be aired on ESPN at 9 P.M. ET. Proceeds from commercial sales will be donated to the club.

If James goes to the Heat (where hed play alongside All-Stars Dwyane Wade and Chris Bosh), hed likely take a $30 million pay cut, ESPN reported. His current team, the Cleveland Cavaliers, has offered him a six-year,Nike soccer cleats $128 million contract, while Miami would sign him to a five-year deal worth $99 million.

PHOTOS: The days best celeb pics

Both the New York Knicks and New Jersey Nets (who are relocating to Brooklyn) have been wooing James as well, with campaigns starring everyone from Mayor Michael Bloomberg to Jay-Z, a Nets part-owner.

Joked Diddy on Twitter Wednesday night, Breaking news!!! Lebron signs with the Knicks!! I just saw him leaving the knicks owners house!!! He lives next door to me! Lets go NYC.

itaska massie If I had not seen it with my own eyes I would not have believed it..The residence of Cleveland and the team owner acting as if KING JAMES did not give them the best success that that city has ever had . Regardless of where he plays, He is a credit to the state of Ohio. They have only proved what we all learn at some point in our life …that no matter what you do for people it will never be enough. Now KING JAMES knows that he made the right decision !! I am a KOBE BRYANT n and if he were in this type of a situation , I would never act in such a ungrateful way. Father forgive them for they no not what they do. TASHA in TEXAS

Jim Looks like LeBron took the easy way out to me. Taking on the challenge of winning a title for his hometown in Cleveland would have been worth several championships with the new, stacked Big Three in Miami. He should have stayed the course in Cleveland, and his popularity would continue to soar, which automatically increaseMovies-TVs his income with more endorsements!

Reggie Lebron James gave 7 years of blood, sweat, and tears to the city of Clev. and this is how the ns and owner Dan Gilbert thanks him???? He deserves a better class of ns Nike mercurial vapor superfly, and he will get that in South Beach. Long live King James.

kim Good for him!!! The Cavs did not deserve to keep him after Dan Gilberts statement!! What a sore loser!! Lebron will have much success in Miami!!!

Well, he took the pay cut I dont even like or watch basketball but for some reason, I have a huge desire to see the Miami Heat lose badly. Just stacking the deck with the best available players doesnt guarantee championships; look how many years the Yankees did that but came up empty. I dont expect it to happen but how sweet would it be if the Cavaliers won next year?!

Brianna I am a BIG BIG BIG…. n of of Lebron james, and I think he should stay in cleveland because he would have more pt there than in Miami.Also he will get more money there. But were ever he goes he should be happy,and his ns will,nike air max shoes. or should be happy. 1. n

richie This story is a lie because its been reported all week that this week he will be in NY for Melos Wedding!!!!

PartyKing Thats cool and all, but The W is so lame. If he wants to play for El Heat, he needs to start acting like he knows his stuff. Come back to me when LeBron rents out space at club BED and rubs elbows with A-LIsters like DJ Khaled.

Lebron James Story was picked up from Coopers Pick NBA Blog and now its getting notoriety on yahoos homepage as coming from us magazine. Where is the justice in this world?

LBJ_Fan you guys are such morons. dont you realize this is yet another publicity stunt to throw you off ????

JVI1979 LeBrick is one UGLY Looking DUDE! Kobe and Jordan at least had some game with the ladies, this guy has nothing. WINLESS!

Route19 My gut tells me that Miami isnt as sure as it is being reported. LeBron has kept things pretty quiet the whole time, and now theres a leak the day hes going on TV to make the announcement? Are you going to watch? Im polling: /

Chart Did you credit the source who you got this from: ???? Like how you try to block people from posting the link to the original story also.

City on film: Contagion, left, was a big-budget movie that shot scenes in The City. (Courtesy photo)

Hollywood actor sightings, movie-extra auditions and production jobs are on the rise in San Francisco, a promising sign as The City has spent years trying to breathe life into the film industry.

There was a 26 percent increase in film activity such as commercials, feature movies and television series last fiscal year compared to the year before, a trend the Film Commission hopes continues.

The filming activity included eight feature films such as Philip Kaufmans Hemingway & Gellhorn, which based production in The City, and Steven Soderberghs Contagion, starring Matt Damon, Gwyneth Paltrow and Jude Law. Also included were the final episodes of the NBC television series Trauma, which Movies-TVwas canceled.

Film Commission Executive Director Susannah Robbins has set a goal this year of landing another television series. She would not reveal any details, only saying, There is a glimmer of hope on the horizon.

Movie,Nike soccer cleats TV and commercial productions in San Francisco mean jobs, a cash infusion to the local economy and a tourism boost when The Citys iconic images are broadcast or shown on the silver screen. Last fiscal year, film productions spent $56.23 million on labor, hotel stays, supplies and other costs, and $-,500 for city permit fees.

In 2006, The City initiated a film rebate program in an attempt to lure more TV and movie productions to San Francisco. Under the program, productions can receive a rebate on city fees, including up to four police officers, which cost $1,200 a day, $1,000 for use of a Muni trademark, film permit fees of $300 per day and payroll taxes. A rebate could not exceed $600 Nike soccer shoes,000. Trauma received $164,276 in a rebate for four episodes last fiscal year.

Im sure some people will complain, Why are we giving money away to Hollywood? Robbins said. But, were giving back money they already spent, and the money they spend locally r exceeds any rebate they would receive, she said.

Supervisor Mark Farrell has proposed expanding The Citys film rebate program to include documentary films and reality TV programming such as cooking or adventure shows. Farrells proposal comes before the Board of Supervisors Budget and Finance Committee on Wednesday.

Robbins said the proposal is driven by interest, such as the possibility of a $5 million Nike Air force, 12-episode documentary series the focus of which she wouldnt reveal. Also, she said reality shows have grown into big-budget productions.

The legislation would also slash the $300-a-day film permit fee to $100 for small-budget films.

Alexa Fraser-Herron, general manager of Scary Cow, an indie-film co-op in San Francisco, said the proposal can only be good. She said indie filmmakers often rush scenes without permits to avoid getting in trouble, but with the lower fee will pay it and have the time to shoot a stronger scene. Small businesses stand to benefit too by winding up in shots of these indie films that are shown in film festivals around the world,nike air max shoes. she said.

Hulu&8217;s first offering outside the U.S. is live:Hulu Japan, a subscription service with &8220;hundreds&8221; of films and thousands of hours of TV. For 1,480 a month or roughly $18.50, Japanese subscribers can watch across an array of devices just like U.S. subscribers of Hulu Plus with one exception&8212;Hulu Japan is ad free. Then again, they are paying more than twice the $8 monthly lug of Hulu Plus in the U.S..

Hulu Japan launches with programming from CBS (NYSE: CBS), NBCUniversal (NSDQ: CMCSA) International Television Distribution, Sony (NYSE: SNE) Pictures Entertainment, Twentieth Century Fox (NSDQ: NWS), The Walt Disney (NYSE: DIS) Company (Japan) featuring content from Disney/ABC Television Group and The Walt Disney Studios, and Warner Bros. (NYSE: TWX) Disney, Fox and NBCU are equity owners in the online video portal.

See more of our latest coverage

oradd an alert for future coverage of .

But the launch version doesn&8217;t offer Japanese programming. Hulu promises to rapidly add more programming, including Japanese-produced content and content from across Asia.

In thelaunch announcement, Hulu said it has an exclusive mobile marketing partnership NTT Docomo, Japan&8217;s largest mobile carrier, but promised that Hulu JapMovies-TVan subscribers &8220;will be able to use Hulu on any mobile carrier or internet service provider on supported devices&8221; without a long-term contract or subscription commitment.

But there are some device gaps at the start, notably Sony PlayStation 3, Microsoft (NSDQ: MSFT) Xbox 360 and Blu-Ray players. The only connected TVs at launch are Panasonic Vieras; Sony Bravia is &8220;coming soon&8221; along with Blu-Ray players from Panasonic and Sony.

In the U.S., Hulu- is free while the subscription service is known as &8220;Hulu Plus.&8221; Each is ad supported. Hulu calls its service &8220;first of its kind&8221; for Japan but also wanted it to stand out among the many entertainment options. Hulu Japan is more like streaming video rival Netflix (NSDQ: NFLX) than Hulu U.S. in one respect: TV shows are previous seasons, not current. The slate of current and library shows includes the CSIs,Nike soccer shoes 24, Bones, Criminal Minds, Desperate Housewives, Fringe, Greys Anatomy, and NCIS. The first month is free.

International head Johannes Larcher explained some of Hulu&8217;s reasoning and its plans on the company blog:

As weve done in the U.S., we will rapidly and continually add content to the service. The content lineup will only become more robust over time, including the addition of Japanese-produced content and content from across the Asian region in the near term.

We are equally proud of the user experience that the Hulu team has built for Japanese entertainment ns. We are offering an intuitive and fully localized product available in both Japanese and English,Nike Air force. with many of the popular Hulu features from the U.S. incorporated into the experience.

We are committed to the success of our efforts in Japan and future international markets. Hulu in Japan is 100% owned and operated, and our growing Japan team has been hard at work building and inventing in our new Tokyo office. We are in Japan for the long term, and excited to continue building our product for Japanese consumers.

As we celebrate the launch of Hulu in Japan, we are conscious that this is just the first of more markets outside of the U.S. for Hulu. We hope that you will stay tuned for more news regarding our journey around the world.

The long-anticipated international expansion comes as Hulu collects bids for a potential sale. While speculation mounted in the U.S. over the possible suitors nike air max shoes, believed to include Yahoo (NSDQ: YHOO), Amazon (NSDQ: AMZN) and Google (NSDQ: GOOG), among others, the Hulu team led by CEO Jason Kilar was in Tokyo to launch Hulu Japan. While the move could make Hulu more attractive by showing its potential, it&8217;s also a major investment that will take time to pay off.

Hulu&8217;s running a different pattern from competitor Netflix, which started its expansion by going north to Canada and goes south to Latin America this ll. The next stops are expected to be Spain and the UK in early 2012. Netflix is using the same template as it has for streaming in the U.S. at a cost that is very similar $8-$10 a month.

The emphasis on streaming and the international push for that side of its business led to a change in pricing that starts today as Netflix splits its DVD and streaming, requiring users to pay for each separately rather than a less expensive combined package. Meanwhile Nike mercurial vapor superfly, Amazon&8217;s Lovefilm is looking at ways to expand its own streaming service. So r, the only head-to-head competition is in the U.S., with Netlfix, Hulu Plus and Amazon Instant Prime; the latter is included in a $79 annual site membership with shipping benefits, not marketed as a monthly service. Hulu Plus is the only one with current primetime programming.

A model who claims she was drugged and raped on a luxury yacht in Ibiza has accused billionaire Saudi Prince Al-Waleed Movies-TVBin Talal of the alleged crime. The prince denies the accusation which he only became aware of yesterday.
