Undoubtfully, cinematography has been my passion since a very young age. Even now, watching a new movie or series always prompts me to ask a lot of questions to the author. Thus, every little essay about a title is definitely not a spoiler, but rather an attempt to explore the idea.

Hillbilly Handfishin'

If you have ever wanted to use your bare toes or bare fingers to catch catfish then you might want to watch Hillbilly Handfishin'. Even if you've not quite "into" that as a sport you will definitely find this new reality show entertaining and fun. It's actually quite popular among city folk because they can see another side to human nature when competing against the wise and wary catfish, which can sometimes grow to over 100 pounds. Big Fish Adventures is a family run business that is based in Temple, Oklahoma and run by the Bivins family. Some of the tourists who come for the noodling (fishing for catfish with just their bare feet and hands) include a group of Chicago police officers, a funeral director with his daughter, and a party of mothers who love the outdoors. A widely diverse variety of people seem to love the challenge and just being in the "great outdoors" commuting with nature. Although Hillbilly Handfishin' is set in the state of Oklahoma it could be almost anywhere there are catfish and shallow slow moving water.

Vegas On Demand

Ever wonder how Las Vegas Nevada came to be? How did this little desert town become the crown jewel of the gambling world and earn the nickname Sin City? Vegas On Demand is not a documentary program that shows the dirty little secrets behind all those bright neon lights but rather a showcase for all the excess and glitter that is found behind the scenes of each of Vegas' bright attractions and hot sexy shows. Gambling is not the only attraction in this brightly lit town. It's the place where even Elvis Presley came to make a comeback while others who are new at the game attempt to make a lasting impression. Vegas On Demand takes viewers to get a "fly on the wall" experience through observing how games like Blackjack are controlled by the eye in the sky and extensive security measures. It is a guilt free trip to Vegas where you don't have to worry about throwing away your next house payment when Lady Luck fails to shine on you at the roulette tables or cause you to crap out when rolling the dice.

Skating with the Stars

As is typical on American reality TV shows the competition is strong and celebrities find they are pretty average when it comes to competing, especially skating on ice!

Stars on this show included Sean Young (Haunted Echoes, Harvest Moon) who was first to be eliminated, Bethenny Frankel (The Apprentice: Martha Stewart), Vince Neil (rock group MÃ¶tley CrÃ¼e), actor and rapper Brandon Mychal Smith, Jonny Moseley (Olympic Gold medal skier), and Rebecca Budig (Batman Forever) who was the winner. Each celebrity was paired with a professional skater who gave their celeb pointers and guided them to perform on the ice. Judges awarded points as well as the viewing audience so the combined scores determined who was the most successful pair each week. Vernon Kay hosted and judges were Dick Button, Johnny Weir, and Laurie Ann Gibson. Additionally they had a "color commentary" each episode by Tanith Belbin who is a retired Ice Dancer.
