In 2001 an award-winning filmmaker, Maryann De Leo, directed a documentary called Bellevue: Inside Out.

Not even that, there are many special effects that Bekmambetov applies in this movie, like slow-motion with sound effects that certainly provides that "ouch" reaction from audiences.…

After hanging up from talking to my mother, I decided to take her advice. If I have to watch the Rocky Horror Picture Show for class that it would the best if I was to actually experience the show, this culture, this step into the past, instead of just watching the musical on my laptop and thinking this is the strangest musical in the world.

The price was only $11, a price I luckily could afford as a poor college student. I called up a few friends, family members, and my roommate…

The Importance of Landowners Duty of Care AMC theaters are doing the right thing, legally and ethically, by preventing masked people from entering their theaters. Considering the amount of theater shootings that have happened within recent years, it is completely reasonable for theaters to adapt to the new threats to those invited on the property.

No sane person was upset with those protocols because it ensured their safety, which only makes sense.…

Going to the movies can be a great venue for a date or a family night out. The theater is an outing almost as classic as a sports game. However; because of the distractions, the convenience, and the prices; I would rather watch movies at my house than watch them at the movie theaters.
