carried out by Universal. Universal distribution chief Nikki Rocco had spoken out about the success of the original film which drove them to take on a follow-up film. "'Dumb and Dumber' was a beloved film on home entertainment, and people wanted to be entertained. It's escapism," Rocco explained. Narrowly prevailing over former box office top spot holder 'Big Hero 6', the PG-13 comedy film is a direct sequel to the first movie 'Dumb and Dumber' in 1994. While Carrey and Daniels have reprised…

Among the many California-related films on the list, I chose the “Rush Hour” because it was one of the series of movies I had enjoyed watching it when I was young. The film's main story is about the process of finding Chinese Consul’s kidnapped daughter by Detective Carter and Lee and incidents happening along the processes. Throughout the film, it suggested lots of different images about the California. Although there are lots of images that are shown in the film like there are lots of traffics…

Brian Klugman and Lee Sternthal make their directorial debut in the 2012 romantic drama The Words, starring Bradley Cooper, Dennis Quaid, Zoe Saldana, Olivia Wilde, and Jeremy Irons ("The Words"). Unfortunately for the audience, the starpower of this film can not make up for the unnecessarily complex plot and disappointingly anticlimactic finish. The story begins with Clayton Hammond (Dennis Quaid) reading his new book, The Words to an audience. The book focuses on the protagonist Rory…

subcategory a film belongs to (based on various personal factors), a film categorized as one of higher quality and values will affect the way the audience will perceive it.

But the operation of arranging…

The Amistad movie in my opinion was good when depicting certain aspects like the tensions between the abolitionist and the slave advocates as well as the race relations between the slaves and everyone else. When it comes to the sectional tensions in the north there where the abolitionist and those who wish to keep slavery in tacked, because they fear that abolishing it would disrupt the everyday lives of the citizens. Meaning, if the rule to let go of the slaves where to be put in motion, then…

For my film review, I deiced to do one of my all-time favorite movies by Henry Selick titled Coraline. Let me start by saying while Coraline is a beautifully created family film it is not for all children like it was advertised. Coraline is much more of a whimsical horror that not every child would be able to handle. Coraline is about a twelve-year-old girl named Coraline. She moves with her family from Michigan all the way to Oregon to an old house called the pink palace. There she feels bored…

After using two studies from two organizations as secondary research, Netflix conducts it’s own primary research to better understand how Internet streamers watch TV in the U.S and Canada. The reactive campaign is a research campaign designed to generate publicity as a strategy. The strategy was to address why…

Although the audio play and the movie have significant differences in content, both versions of “Sorry, Wrong Number” exemplify that they are the perfect mediums in their own respect. While the movie provides visuals for the characters along with explanations of events in the audio play, it seems the movie leaves little imagination for the reader compared to the audio play. The audio play, despite allowing the reader to imagine the circumstances, can also be considered as not enough for some…
