When I was a young child, I always used to copy everything I saw. Every time I had watched a movie, I would act like the main character. If the main character was a superhero, then I would run around the house acting like them. Then as I got older I always I started thinking about careers for my future. First I wanted to be in the FBI, then I wanted to be an Engineer. Basically, I wanted to be everything that I could possibly be. Then I found film, in film I can create whatever I want. I get to…
Kramer vs. Kramer deserves a three star rating. The acting is one of the main reasons I give this film a three star rating. Meryl Streep and Dustin Hoffmann did a great job at conveying the emotions their characters were feeling. When Meryl Streep’s character, Joanna, was putting her son, Billy, to bed, I felt as if she was the boy’s actual mother. Dustin Hoffmann also did a phenomenal job at portraying his anger all throughout the movie. At some points throughout the movie, Dustin…
idea of concentrating on something on stage, to keep the focus off the audience, is a good idea. He thought if his actors observed the object intensively enough, a desire would arise in them, to do something with it. Although, the actors lost basic faculties on stage, so much so that they had to be re-taught. I don’t think this theory is worth all the trouble it caused with the actors having to be retaught the basics it seems a bit ridiculous. I do like the circle of concentration, though. It…
I've always had a passion for films and the emotions that this medium is capable of evoking. From as early as I can remember, I have been completely enamored by films: in my bedroom, in the living room, and especially in the theater. It allows one to leave the real world for a little while and explore an entirely new existence, even if it may be a mirror of our own world. That being said, there are bad movies, the kinds of movies that make you want to gouge out your eyes, plug your ears, and…
I have grown up in a conservative, Christian environment, and I haven’t been exposed to much more. Since I was raised by Christian parents and attended a Christian school, I wasn’t quite prepared for my summer local theater experience. Being involved with Orange Community Players gave me an experience I will never forget. I’ve always had a passion for acting, so one summer I decided to perform for the local theater because they have summer workshops for kids and teenagers. After joining OCP we…
Kevin Bacon is a badass and he gets to show off that badassness in Cop Car, a film that is simple in plot, but deep in satisfaction. I've seen it touted as a horror film, but the truth is, it's more of a thriller, with a few bits and pieces of dark humor thrown in for good measure. The DVD (also on Blu-ray) that was released by Anchor Bay is light on features, however the gratifying feeling of watching a great film makes up for any grievances towards the disc. Read on to see if you agree...…
The fourth wall is the supposed imaginary wall, also know as the screen, is the thing separating the actors and what’s happening in the story there and not in the real world. Normally actors don’t give off that they are in a film but in the comedy Ferris Bueller’s Day Off, directed by John Hughes, the main character, Ferris Bueller played by Matthew Broderick, breaks the fourth wall randomly throughout his day that he skips school by faking being sick. This movie is one of the more well known…
This show is about a pathetic little worm who looks like some sort of raccoon who likes to sing death metal karaoke. But she sound more like a moronic nu metal vocalist from a number of terrible bands like korn disturbed or some other faux metal band made for the small minded morons who pretend to be metalheads but are just weak sauce posers with terrible jobs and who lack any artistic merit much like the main character of this show. But when I first read the description of this show I was…
Let's begin with where the red fern grows is a very interesting book/movie. The book had a lot more detail than the movie. If you like watching movies over reading books this is perfect for you. But if you like reading books over watching movies this is also good. Now let's get started talking about how they are similar and different. To start of with let's talk about the book. The book is so much more interesting than the movie. When the two dogs die that is the saddest part in the book. But…
the setting. Many of the pieces of the background allowed the actors to stand or sit on. For example, the Broadway scene of the performance of “Springtime for Hitler,” the play Bialystock and Bloom produced, there were large stairs where the dancers and actors were able to line up and stand on. This allowed each actor to have enough room to perform their dance in unison. The large stairs also allowed the audience to clearly see every actor dancing. One problem I noticed in the opening scene, is…
