Victoria is a new independent film that leaves you at the edge of your seat and with your heart racing throughout the entire movie. It centers around a naïve and inexperienced Spanish girl named Victoria (Laia Costa) who after meeting new friends finds her night quickly spiraling out of control when they recruit her as a getaway driver for a bank robbery. The film starts off by playing into a typical Berlin stereotype- the first scene is set at a nightclub. Victoria is dancing alone among…

A film director is responsible for all aspects artistically and technically during his or her production. Directors may write the films script themselves or be commissioned to write it from the start, or they may be hired after an early draft of the script has been completed.

They also direct the rehearsals and the performances of the actors once the film is in…

Movie Review of “To Kill a Mockingbird” A good movie review can be used to either influence you or deter you from watching a movie. Most of us, use internet sites such as Fandango, Rotten Tomatoes, or even visit a film critic’s website, such as Robert Ebert, to help us decide what movie to watch.

Introduction Genre is an important classification technique used in films, literature, music and so forth. Although significant, genre is not a fixed idea in film. There are many grey areas when subgenres, subversions and hybrids are included. A single film can cross over many genres and therefore cannot be put into a single category. For example Tim Burton’s movie Corpse Bride, released in 2005. It would be wrong to solely consider this a romance film, even though the conventions of the romance…

Jarvie’s thesis that the average film goer is willing to suspend our disbelief. However, only to a certain extent. If one is told going into a film that it is “based on true events,” or for that matter even a historical film, the extent of a film goer’s suspension is diminished. Even though the actual events that happened are almost the minority of the content of the film.

However, one of the girl’s friends is now lying awake as well, but in excitement rather than fear. The movie made her heart race in an…
