Sometimes the movie industry believes that they can stretch a movie beyond the original story in order to capitalize on the achievements of the precursor film. This is not the case as Ted 2 fails to be as charming and funny as the original movie. The author of the films has made a career on repeating the same gags over and over on his TV shows, but when you go to a movie theater you expect to see more quality than your average TV program since you are paying for that ticket. The type of humor is…

First, it contributes to a greater sense of realism in the viewer. Sound originating from a source within the world of the scene does not indicate does as certainly as music from a non-diegetic source. Secondly, it can indicate information to the viewer. As the source of the music comes from within the universe of the characters, the music’s presence can be related to things within that universe, very relevantly to the characters themselves. In the same way that knowledge of someone’s musical…

This class has absolutely changed the way that I look at almost any sport. It was such a fun, interesting, and overall amazing learning experience. I have always had the utmost respect for anyone with some form of a disability, but this has opened my eyes to how anyone can modify a game to cater to any disability. Even if the game loses almost every rule that made it that sport or game. For example in flag football that we modified, and played it was played more like rugby than football. There…

Have you ever been so into a TV show that you are totally unaware of what is going on around you? This is because the shows that you are watching share the same qualities such as drama, heartwarming moments, and a humorous character. Just like Joey in Friends, or Michael Scott in The Office, they are always the humorous characters who are reckless with everything they do. A humorous character is only one of the things that make a TV show entertaining, without drama and heartwarming moments a TV…

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,…
