Knocked Up

acting, I accept it as a product of its time. The low-budget look of the film no longer seems terrible, but impressive given the actual budget. This time around, I feel in love with the film, much in thanks to Arrow Video's amazing work on the fixing up the transfer, which I will get to in a bit. The story behind The Hills Have Eyes is a fairly simple one. A family on a trip to California, take a detour through the desert to visit an old silver mine. Unbeknownst to them, the area they are…

Have you ever been so annoyed while in a stressful situation. Well while we take a look at the book The War Of The World's by H.G.Wells we will experience what it is like to be in this situation. The two main characters we will experience this with will be the narrator who is a main character in the story and then also the curate who is also a main character. The narrator and the curate managed to find themselves in a sticky situation. They are currently stuck inside a house and outside this…

The Mid-Winter 's Light Winter is upon the earth. The water which was once flowing has stopped. White clouds scatter the earth leaving an everlasting trail of icy residue that will pile up until the seasons begin to change. Cars that once drove easily on the grooved pavement now slip and move when jack frost wants them too. Ice paints the sides of buildings as the wind whips it in every direction. Slowly lights begin to shine through the thickness of the falling flurry. The darkness of the…

The scene then uses the audio and visual cues of the police siren being turned as both a graphical match cut and a sound bridge to the following cut, a close-up shot of two crows feasting on an animal carcass in the middle of the highway as the camera tilts up towards the two police cars. The focus of the staging of the two crows in the transition acts as foreshadow in the show’s narrative, as evident a few scenes later at the end of the fast-paced shoot-out…

~☾~ I woke up on the floor, a pillow beneath my head and a blanket below my body. I squinted around, trying to figure out exactly where I was. I didn’t recognize the room, but then again, it could be one of the dozens of rooms I had yet to explore in the pack house. I got up and let the things how I had found them, entering the dimly lit hallway. The hallway looked familiar enough so I kept…

Coke 's Pros. Coca Cola has received a lot of supports from consumers from the day it was introduced until now. Thank to the strong brand image and powerful advertisements and marketing capability, Coke is always the first choice for consumers. Moreover, Coke has a long history where everyone can trust the product. There are many reasons why so many people like drinking coke. First, is the fizzy feeling taste people get from drinking coke. Second, people can feel like they had restored energy…

someone with a childlike mentality is the main character. This makes the audience want to care even more. Tim Burton has accomplished how to use close-up, long shots, and color contrast to portray an emotion. For example, in the movie Edward Scissorhands, for example, when Peg found Edward Burton made the audience feel scared for her as she walked up the long dark staircase. Tim…

Ignorance is bliss, many people today use this phrase as a means to vindicate their actions and validate their simple and close-minded way of thinking. Whether you 've heard the phrase used in those exact words or nor does mean that you have never heard it at all. This phrase has been twisted and warped into a series of much smaller and more rationalized forms such as, “he or she doesn 't know any better”, or perhaps, “how was I supposed to know?” or my personal favorite “well everyone else is…

confusion. “Where am I?” I thought. Suddenly, my brain processed my surroundings, and my eyes focused on the view ahead of me. As soon as my head was in the right mind, I saw Fantasia in front of me, Hilary besides me, the huge fish net looking net set up high held, with two poles, in front of me, and my coaches along with the other teammates were waiting on the sidelines. “You can do it!” someone hollered instantaneously from the benches. Once I heard the scream, I turned my head quickly to…

run an event similar to the one I volunteered for; I was amazed to see how many people were wearing volunteer shirts around the event. Planning was required in the setup of the race, who would speak at the opening ceremonies, where sponsors could set up their tents, what volunteers would work where, the scheduling of the event, different activities the participants could complete, prizes, and various other aspects. Something else that I learned from my experience is that advertisement is an…
