Our generational works of art, those monuments—many of them share this sensibility. It’s a kind of enough-already detachment, an exhaustion, an opting for comedy over morals, lessons, rules. And look how they stand up! How much newer and better those movies and books can seem than works made five or three years ago. Everyone can make their own list. Mine includes: Exile in Guyville, by Liz Phair; A Supposedly Fun Thing I’ll Never Do Again, by David Foster Wallace (‘62). Everything by Quentin…

There were many similarities between the movie and the story. A similarity that the story and movie had was that you could hear the whistle and the metallic sound. This was very important to the movie because if there was not a whistle, you would not get the same feeling as you did in the story. Another similarity was that the movie had the same wording taken directly from the “Adventures of the Speckled Band”. This was essential to the movie because if they didn’t take the wording from the…

Dear Mr.Cranston, the movie trumbo is an exciting and thrilling film. Before seeing the film I knew little on the McCarthy era or the Hollywood 10. The film perfectly conveyed the ideals of each party down to the effects on their families and careers. Not only does the film express the oppression faced by the hollywood 10 but, it also relates to many instances such as the crucible that we will be researching soon. Each character embodies different traits that are accompanied with the trials. The…

The movie, The Hound of the Baskervilles, directed by David Attwood included renditions that made the feature more dramatic than the novel written by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle. Both depictions are very similar, but are different in multiple ways. These differences, in my perspective, make the movie more dramatic and action filled. These traits make the movie more enjoyable to me. Attwood includes many developments that make the movie more thrilling than the novel. In my opinion, the novel Hound…

both lack star studded casts. For Bubble this choice was likely made for two reasons; amateur actors gave a more authentic feel to the town about a small town, and it was an experimental film that did not need to specifically do well. Soderbergh had already been promised a contract for several additional films no matter the outcome of the first. This opened Bubble up for Magnolia and Cuban to experiment with its release with very few consequences. The lack of a well-known cast in Whitey was not…

nominated for 15 Oscars. The beauty of the film is that there is not a single waste line nor a single waste shot nor a single waste performance. Everything is so perfect & each character is very well developed. I felt Huston has filtered the movie like water, over & over, until it became so perfect. The performances in the movie were of the highest order. Brigid O'Shaughnessy is not your typical film noir femme fatale as this is only the start of bigstudio film noir. I felt that Brigid…

I'm going to…
