When it is coupled with a fitting plot, character development can transform a good movie into great one. In Blockers, each character develops differently with the viewer’s impressions on many characters changing by the end of the film. The opening video of Julie, Kayla, and Sam on the first day of school serves the purpose of giving a…

American cinema dominated the entertainment world for decades. Even though movie attendance dropped following the Second World War, people still flocked to the cinemas for a few hours of entertainment. By the mid-1950s, however, things had begun to change. No longer was film the top source of visual entertainment, but it now had another medium with which to compete—television. Some of the biggest studios in the 1950s teamed up with network television companies to get a foot into the door of the…

I am happy to announce that the Houston Astros have developed three separate ticket plans for the upcoming season. We must consider several things when determining our pricing structure. As an organization, we need to be cognizant that there are many different kinds of fans, therefore, the design of the ticket structure must reach out to these varied types of customers. Some fans will come for day games while others will only attend weekend games. Additional supporters may only attend games once…

“Why would anyone want to make avant-garde/experimental films in a time of virulent anti-intellectualism, widespread political repression and persecution, misguided social and cultural priorities, an increasingly ugly and vulgar popular culture, and, perhaps most questionable of all, an intense apathy to all things beautiful and sublime” (Varela 3)? In the early 1960’s, a group of artists and filmmakers primarily set in New York City began create films that would later define the decade as a…

Spike Lee. I choose Spike Lee because he is a good and well known movie director. His films always have action in them and keep you interested the whole movie. The most recent movies I watched by Spike Lee are “He Got Game” and “Crooklyn.” The movie Crooklyn came out in 1994. It was a good movie about the ups and downs that families have to go through sometimes but at the end the family overcomes the problems. Another Spike Lee movie I really liked was “He Got Game” because its about a…

They labelled it the cinema de papa (old fogies cinema). They put forward and discussed many different propositions and ideas in the pages of the cahiers du cinema in the 50s. The most significant one which had the greatest influence on new wave films was la politique des auteurs (The policy of authors). Largely created by Truffaut in his famous essay a certain tendency in French Cinema he argued that a film, through the way in which its images are presented to the audience on the screen,…

Movie theaters started in the 1900 's as a way for families to get together and enjoy movies. Over the past decade movie theaters have continued to function in this manner, while they have some changes such as creating a drive in movie or creating a more relaxing environment with servers who bring you food and drinks . At a new movie theater, Casa Blanca in San Antonio, Texas, they offer a new way for customers to enjoy movies in comfortable reclining chairs. While, society is always offered…

The Grand Budapest Hotel is one of my favorite movies that recently came out. The movie was released under Fox Searchlight Pictures in February of 2014. Fox Searchlight Pictures is a branch company from it’s main sister Fox Entertainment Group making it an independent film company. Since it’s big sister is a well known company with great resources, Fox Searchlight Pictures has access to the great advancements in film production. Because they are the sister to a major film company, budget wasn 't…

used to increase the film’s actual effectiveness on the audience when coupled with the plot of the movie. The genre of a musical is so often done in a ‘real life,’ such as a high school, setting that when the sub-genre of a backstage or showbiz movie was used to express the normal musical plot points, it really created something special within the film. That something special is what has made this movie stand the test of time. The narrative of the film is good. The idea of showing…
