1. The first time that I can recall encountering monsters, and heroes in popular culture is an unusual one, but none the less very powerful for me. It was when I first saw the film Aliens. That might not seem too weird, except that I watched it when I was in fourth grade. It was both a movie that was fascinating and repellent at the same time. It was fascinating for the world that it built, and these larger than life characters, that were throughout the movie. Yet for the same reason it was…

society can’t live without, the elements of fear and power, mystery and violence. All of these “horror factors” are seen time and time again in different movies and novels, time and time again we can’t help but become immersed in the world of evil. No matter which way you turn it, entertainment revolving around monsters is too prominent and loved to…

Whether it was sitting in a dark room of a friends house, or huddled around a campfire in the middle of the woods, ghost have been a popular topic for scary stories. For a kid’s imagination a ghost is a provocative and terrifying idea, which are usually accompanied by goose bumps and an eerily feeling. For Cole, a main character in M. Night Shyamalan’s movie the sixth-sense, ghost are not just an idea in his imagination, but are part of his daily reality. Cole had a very strange “secret” in…

Peter Cornwell and written by Stephen King, is like an open book. It has potential and great music that intensifies the thrill as the scenes pass in the life of George B and his mystical grandmother. This is not like the average horror movie, blood and guts, but a horror movie that is categorized by its thrill. It has an everlasting thrill that will have one grasping to a pillow from the beginning to the end; however, the movie flies by so fast due to the amount of information put within an hour…

The film There Will Be Blood was an outstanding film. This film was released in 2007 and directed by Paul Thomas Anderson. The main actors were Daniel Day-Lewis, Dillon Freasier, and Paul Dano. This film’s screenwriter was also Paul Thomas Anderson. Paul Thomas Anderson did an amazing job making this film because, it came out incredible. One of the best films in my opinion and has a brilliant lesson to be learned from the film. There Will Be Blood is a must see movie. This film is packed…

Picture this. The year is 1954 and you are looking to see a movie. Movie commercials on television are scarce, and you do not know what to see. So what do you do to help decide what to watch? You look at a movie poster in a theatre lobby. The movie poster for The Creature from the Black Lagoon has many different elements that help to create an image of what the actual cinematic feature may be about. By using variations of light and dark colors, the poster adds depth that creates feelings of fear…

Witness, directed by Peter Weir, and The Man from Snowy River, directed by George Miller, are often categorized as very different films, but fit into the category of Syd Fields 3 Act Structure. Witness is shown as a crime thriller, whereas, The Man from Snowy River is an Australian coming of age drama. Both films have the same sub-plot of romance, but differ in some areas. Having romance as the sub-plot compliments both film’s plots and provides a soft element to the story. The romance changes…

created around 1940 by psychologists as a way of describing the play of children, and applied to film, Newman informs us that this game-like form “… offers its own rewards, its own pleasures.” As a demonstration of these “pleasures,” Newman reads Pulp Fiction (1994) as a puzzle created for spectator entertainment, that uses the form of its “out-of-order storytelling” as a way of playing with spectators, and ultimately pulling them into the pleasure of the game, as opposed to treating the film…
