Mob film

impossible to think of a list of great films without including Pulp Fiction (1994). With its striking cinematography and its non-scored soundtrack, Pulp Fiction was a revolutionary motion picture because it popularized non-linear storytelling in film, and borrowed elements from postmodernism, genre films, and arthouse films, and blended them into something completely unique to Tarantino’s personal style (Berg, 2006). From many influences of foreign and niche films, Pulp Fiction was born, but it…

In what I have to say is possibly one of the worst so-called horror genre films I have seen in recent years, The Purge - set supposedly a decade ahead of today, in United States - is a truly silly idea in that the so-called New Founding Fathers allow everyone in the country, on one night only each year, to give vent to all their pent-up hatreds and frustrations by freely committing any crime they want without fear of prosecution. It seems that, in what has to be the unlikeliest of scenarios,…

home, where he meets his wife and young son. We later learn that Alonzo is involved with the Russian Mafia and owes them $1 million dollars, with an ultimatum that if he does not show up with the money by midnight he would be dead. At the end of the film, Hoyt is after Alonzo and runs after him as he threatens to kill him. He gets inside his home and attempts to end him, but Alonzo escapes through a window. Alonzo is then trapped in a neighborhood with all of his “homies¨, everyone was tired of…

The film, Marie Antoinette, is accurate in reenacting historical aspects of the queen of France’s life. Although movies are sometimes inaccurate when based off of history, Marie Antoinette was very accurate when representing the fashion of that time, and the history of the queen of France. Marie Antoinette had an easy life at first but as time went by she lost support from the starving French people, which brought her trouble and turmoil. The film shows the dramatic changes in her life very…

substitutes in for its incredibly stylish persona of John Wick, as well as a more than healthy heaping of high intensity, gut wrenching violence. On the other side of this twisted coin films such as Blue is the Warmest Color completely mesmerizes me with its incredibly raw and uncensored story telling, which most foreign films do exceptionally well. A miraculous blend of the arts, love,…

still find a white person as the principal cast, despite the fact that they are the minority of the area, as is the case for Aloha and The Last Samurai. This practice is known as Colorism, the discrimination against people of certain skin tones. In film this is done by casting a lighter skinned person to play a traditionally darker skinned person, or by having an all minority cast, except for the principals. While whitewashing isn’t as prevalent as it used to be it still happens, and as it falls…

Fiction Acclaimed film critic, Roger Ebert made an unflinching statement in 1997 of then gaining prominence, Director Quentin Tarrantino, “Reservoir Dogs (1992) announced Tarantino 's talent and Pulp Fiction [1994] suggested his genius” (Ebert). Subsequently, crime infested terror and off-color humor married a peculiar auteur, and delivered in every Quentin Tarrantino film. A self-taught enthused director, screenwriter, and schooled actor (Tuohy and Glasby). Chiefly, he attributes film…

The film I will be pitching is the sixth sequel to the classic made up disaster movie, Eruption (1971). This followup will be titled, Eruption 1978: Las Vegas (1979) and unfortunately it was pushed back due to budget restraints and problems on set (a drunk Joan Crawford wouldn’t leave her trailer due to her characters fate and accidentally burnt down half the set). The disaster and the location/time frame are all in the title, it literally treats all audience members like their dumbness (finally…
