DreamWorks on DISH Network - Dragons & More
Now how would it be to have your own pet dragon? Free transportation, an awesome source of intimidation and instant campfires. The fantastic new movie, How to Train Your Dragon is full of great messages for children and adults as well as the animated exhilaration of flying through the clouds on a fire-breathing dragon.
The vikings' village is under the constant attack of dragons who pillage for food, causing full-on viking/dragon war between these two ruthless creatures, man and beast. Hiccup, a boy who is known throughout the village as the "weak boy" is the son of the strongest and most powerful viking of all. Unfortunately, Hiccup fell very far from the tree. But what he lacks in brute strength he makes up for in ingenuity. One night he uses one of his inventions to trap and injure the dragon deemed "Night Fury."
No one in the village believes Hiccup has actually caught a dragon and so he decides not to mention it anymore and to keep it a secret. He names this dragon "Toothless" and soon learns the different ways of the dragon and why the dragons really are attackiing the village.
This is a great movie for kids and adults. It is comical and relevant. You can catch more of DreamWorks classic creations and movies on DISH Network.
Goldberg Fired - Donald Trump Fires Bill Goldberg From Apprentice
Wrestler Bill Goldberg became the seventh celebrity to bite the dust on Donald Trump’s The Celebrity Apprentice on NBC and DISH Network.
Here’s the deal with the Goldberg firing. He was the project manager of a three-person team, “Rocksolid,” that wound up losing to a five-person team, “Tenacity,” on Sunday night’s two-hour broadcast. As always, Trump places the blame for failure squarely on the shoulders of the person in charge. Hence, Goldberg is out of the Board Room and back in the Square Circle.
Goldberg agreed with the firing, basically saying that he was the boss of a team whose project came up short. “I take full responsibility for my team losing,” said Goldberg after being eliminated. What a good sport!
You can follow all of the drama and high-stakes tension of The Celebrity Apprentice on NBC with one of many great DISH Network packages. Who will be the next celebrity fired by Trump? Tune in and see!
The Repo Men Want More Than Your TV
Winston Roth
Have you ever been late on your credit card, utility, or any other bills? You know the companies will be after you and hounding you to get those payments in on time. Imagine you’re in this situation. You had an organ transplant; the organs were manufactured and supposed to be top-notch, functioning machines to replace your failing organs. You’re on a payment plan to pay for this organ, but you’re late, a little over 90 days late. This is where The Repo Men come in.
Jude Law and Forest Whitaker star in this action-packed film where they are actual workers for the “Union” that sell the manufactured organs, and they repossess the organs from those that are late on their monthly payments. Sure the people have the option to go to a hospital to have it done, but only after they have been shot with a taser-gun by the Repo Men. So basically you could have your organs taken back from the Union in the middle of a street, during a meeting, or right in your own home without anesthesia.
This movie is not for the faint-of-heart if you get squirmy about seeing bodies being cut open. Just make sure you keep current with your payments on your bills, and you’ll be just fine. Catch these celebrities on other movies on DISH Network that don’t include repossessing organs.
China Earthquake - Earthquake Kills Dozens In China
The earthquake struck southeast of Golmud, a town of about 130,000 on the Tibetan plateau, best known as the site of the world’s largest salt lake. Early news reports out of China said that 90 percent of the homes in the area had collapsed, but schools and government buildings had largely remained standing. So far the death toll is about 1,000.
Last August, Golmud was hit by a 6.2 magnitude earthquake that destroyed dozens of homes but caused no deaths. The area is a melting pot of Tibetans, Mongols, Chinese, and is adjacent to Sichuan Province, where more than 87,000 people died in a powerful earthquake in 2008.
