Going into the film Double Indemnity I honestly cannot say I had high expectations; That being said, to my own surprise, I actually did personally enjoy this movie. While not anything particularly spectacular in relation to modern day films, Double Indemnity carried a unique charm that persisted throughout the whole movie that had me loving it. Of all the the characters throughout the show I was particularly impressed by the actors playing both Keyes,Lola and Mr. Norton who I believe did an…

One of my favorite scenes in the movie “Trumbo”, was when Trumbo and Eddie had a tensed moment, since Eddie was at fault for the imprisonment of Trumbo and other people. At first, I had thought to myself that I wouldn’t have liked this film. But it turned out that it became one of my favorite films, if not, my favorite film of all time. Reasons that I liked it were because of the screenwriting was extremely well done, and you can really feel that you are there. The life lesson to stand up for…

A majority of my generation has seen “The Lion King” multiple times during their childhood years. Unfortunately I haven’t watched it, so I viewed this movie with an open mind and empty slate. Seeing as I had never watched it before, I had only the vaguest idea of what it would be like. I thought it was going to consist of the stereotypical character scheme of a protagonist who faces his villain, defeats the enemy, and wins some sort of award at the end. I never considered that it would go…

It went on as far as the eye could see. A long sea of white, with endless space, yet invisible at the same time, covered completely. The near end was where it all began, starting with greens and oranges and yellows and reds.

But, it was the finale that really amazed me, with its endless color, sparkles, and overflowing extravagance. I always skipped the finale, because I’m seriously,…

Based on a…

I've spent the past two and a half years making a film - probably a good 95% of my non-sleeping life during that time - and sometimes it seems it all comes down to these few weeks of release in theaters. Let me tell you, it's harrowing. The movie is doing incredibly all over the world - up nearly fifty percent over the first film in most territories, and a breakout hit in countries where it didn't do as well the first time around (hi, Korea!) I'm exceptionally proud of how well it's doing in the…
