Aftermath Entertainment

into the back of some Russian mobster’s skull, to the rhythm of Zack Hemsey’s spine-chilling soundtrack, really provide the sort of relief that you are searching for? I certainly hope not! While most of my friends call these homogenous films ‘entertainment’, I call them a waste of time. None of these films contain the elegance or class of the ‘classic film’. While the ‘spaghetti western’ may not be the best example of a…

The three shows that will leave you on the edge of your seat, biting your lip, and wondering what will happen next are are The walking Dead, Empire, and Breaking Bad. The Walking Dead is my all time most favorite show of all time, simply because it is interesting and you never know what's going to happen next. The Breaking bad is different, to see a broke chemistry teacher become a drug kingpin with upward of 100 million dollars in savings is a story that nobody should miss. Empire is in a whole…

The movie I chose for option one was “The Truman Show”(1998) starring Jim Carrey and Paul Giamatti. This Movie is also a science fiction comedy drama. The issue around this time is that there were slim to none philosophical movies in 1998. This analysis will include a basic summary of the movie. The movie also has a theme of utopia that will be discussed as well. To conclude I will describe how the future is told through the movie too and whether I agree or disagree with how the director/author…

As a child, I had a love for many movies, but I had a special love for a specific movie, The Breakfast Club. My Father says that I would sit in front of the Television and watch this movie for hours at a time. Some would believe that it is odd for a child, my age, to love the movies that I do. Ever since I can remember, I have had a love for movies from the 80’s. My favorites included: Sixteen Candles (1984), The Goonies (1985), Beetlejuice (1988), and especially Dirty Dancing (1987). Actually,…

Television as almost everything in life has had an evolution. The way we think of television is very different than the way our ancestors did. Television has been around since the late 1920’s. However, back in the day it was a very expensive luxury that only the elite could afford. With the passage of years television became more accessible and as a consequence more popular. In the 1950’s television was considered to be the primary medium in which many families gathered their information.…

The “Song of the Roustabouts” and Animals In Disney’s Dumbo(1941) many of Paul Wells’s narrative strategies are apparent. These narrative strategies help enhance the feeling you get while watching the movie and allow you to connect to the characters. Ben Sharpsteen, the supervising director of Dumbo used sound, symbolism, and choreography several times while making the movie, especially in the scene when they sing the song called, “Song of the Roustabouts.” When Dumbo, the other elephants,…

The movie Aladdin was never meant to be created so that the people of the Middle East could have a film to cherish about their culture. The film was scripted, animated, and released all during and within a year of the gulf war. This film, just as Disney has done since the world wars, was used as a form of propaganda and a method to gain nationalism from the people when we entered a foreign land for war. Therefore, Disney had to incorporate western values into the film to display what actions are…

The concept of amusement has been used as the basis of popular culture as a source of entertainment with its goal of amusing it’s audience but in recent societies has revolutionized and in a response, been critiqued with looking into the inner workings of Disneyland and overall critique of amusement with “Amusing Ourselves to Death.” Entertainment has multiple sources such as music, film, television and amusement parks are the basis for popular culture that are primarily seen through media,…

I believe that the movie, Amazing Grace, is both historically accurate and inaccurate. There were also strong and weak parts of the movie. The accurate and good parts of this movie include the ending scene, the humor incorporated into it, some quotes, and the amount of research done for the movie to be accurate. First, the most important part of the movie was the ending. This was when Wilberforce presents the Bill to the House of Commons. The scene seemed real and true! It was very nicely…
