Hi, I am Louis Giaquinto. I was born in Flagstaff, AZ, but I have grown up over the valley most of my life. My favorite movie of 2015 and one of my favorite independent films is Room (2015), directed by Lenny Abrahamson. Room is about a young woman and her son who were held captive for seven years, but then escaped and experienced the outside world. Most of the cast was unknown or they had been in supporting roles.…
I was shock throughout watching the movie. I did not know what to expect from watching this movie, but I was on the edge of my seat the whole time. This was a scary movie because it showed the social construct in society, how wealthy people get what they want while others get hurt in the process. The movie is about a successful, talented black photographer name Chris.…
While the movie is not a bad movie per say, when comparing it to its inspiration one can notice the significant changes in the…
Brie Larson, who already had impressed me in “Short Term 12”, gives a spectacular performance, together with the young Jacob Tremblay, in the suspenseful drama “Room”, directed by Lenny Abrahamson (“Frank”) from a screenplay by Emma Donoghue based on her own 2010 international best-seller novel of the same name. The story follows a protective, caring mother, Joy (Larson), and her sensitive five-year-old son, Jack (Tremblay), whose lives are limited to a small space that they call room. The room is actually a shed, placed in a desolated backyard and well protected with a code lock system, which is owned by a man known as Red Nick who seven years before had abducted Joy, confining her to a life of forced imprisonment. So, it’s easy to conclude that Jack is…

The main purpose in this movie in my own standpoint is to highlight the issues and the changes facing the suburb of the Unites States with regards to all the…
Finding a good horror movie is a lot like shucking oysters in search of a pearl; one must weed through disgusting and disappointing messes until a true treasure is discovered. Unfortunately, Scott Derrickson’s Sinister is more of a mess than it is a pearl. The film follows the life of washed-up horror writer Ellison Oswalt, who moves his family into a home where a grisly murder has taken place. Oswalt believes that writing a novel about the murders will help reboot his career. After discovering a series of home films depicting the murders of various families, Oswalt goes from horror writer to amateur sleuth as he tries to discover the mystery behind the shocking films.…
The deviation from genre conventions is why this movie gets such a positive review from the critic. The movie seems familiar yet totally different at the same time. It follows some of the genre conventions like the plot and setting but it truly makes its mark as a film with the way it is different from anything that has ever been put on screen before. Martin Scorsese’s innovation in the way he makes the actors behave in certain ways or uses the silence to add a dramatic effect shows that by not following genre conventions you can still end up making a film that is a commercial…
Silent Sound is in every nook and cranny, in every building and every street. It’s impossible to escape. To the…
The Words makes the audience think, but in an intriguing way. It has all the components of the traditional movie, but it is portrayed in a more exciting way. It's a story that was written by a man who wrote about a man who wrote a story, which was stolen. Which sounds unbelievably confusing, but it makes sense when…
The movie was not good because it didn't have many details. This is about The Outsider’s movie and the book and in my opinion the book is better than the movie. The Outsider movie and the book both have some similarities. They have more different than similarities.…
Just a short time after the time period in which the Quiet American takes place the United States becomes involved in Vietnam conflict, leading to the Vietnam War. Many saw this war as a chance for the United States to save Vietnam, ultimately the United States would go into the war with pure intentions. Many found after the war that those intentions were no longer there, and our country had caused more destruction by becoming involved. It took many Americans till after the damage had been done to notice the truth behind what the Vietnam War turned out to be. The Quiet American novel and film, although may be seen as a movie on the Indochina war, turns out to be a comment on US policy when entering the Vietnam War.…
The language choice of the movie more funny then serious. This is a movie that make the audience laugh and have a great time. They also have a lot of music in this movie which makes the movie even more interesting. Most of this music was really good too. Without the music scenes this movie definitely won’t be as good because the music adds more sense of communication with the audience.…
On the other hand, Alfred Hitchcock skillfully creates tension in his film through silence. Although both versions of…
Hush is a horror movie about a woman named Madison Young. Maddie is a mute author, who temporarily lost her hearing and her speaking ability when she contracted bacterial meningitis when she was 13. She ended up losing both her hearing and her speaking ability after she had a surgery that went wrong. Due to Maddie’s disabilities, Hush presents an emphasis on isolation and the importance of existential awareness that other horror movies fail to provide. Hush is different because most of the movie there isn't much noise and dialogue, especially when we’re in Maddie’s point of view.…
