Nightcrawler

I chose to watch “Cradle to The Grave” for this writing assignment. “Cradle to The Grave” is an action/crime film about these “black diamonds”. The understanding of what these stones were was the basis of the plot-twist in this movie. These stones were deposited in a diamond exchange what was robbed by the protagonists as the beginning of the film. After the heist, the protagonists run into a man played by Jet Li who is an agent for the government of Taiwan, who manufactured these stones. The…

Director Zack Snyder’s “Batman v. Superman: Dawn of Justice” took its hype train to terminal velocity with a too-big-to-fail marketing approach that eventually crashed into a cinematic cacophony that might just be best to the deaf viewer. Like dropping names of high-brow friends at a posh party, Snyder lobbed out a pitch some years ago to pin the world’s two most revered superheroes against one another in a sort of theatrical cage match that any unsuspecting moviegoer could sink his or her teeth…

7. Linda Hamilton. Linda Hamilton portrayed Sarah Connor in The Terminator film series, as well as Catherine Chandler in Beauty and the Beast. Linda Hamilton announced her bipolar disorder during an appearance on Larry King Live last October 2005. She attributed her condition as the reason for the destruction of her marriage to where she admitted to have abused her husband verbally and physically. She sought for treatment since then. 8. Mariette Hartley. Mariette Hartley was an American…

“Greed, for lack of a better word, is good.” So preaches Michael Douglas in his Oscar-winning role as immoral businessman Gordon Gekko in Oliver Stone’s Wall Street. Stone’s follow-up to his Best Picture winner Platoon¸ Wall Street does not have quite the reputation Platoon does. I have not seen Platoon, but it seems that this makes sense because Wall Street is not a very entertaining or interesting movie because, although greed may be good, Stone forgot that clarity is good too. The plot of…

A few years ago, my family and I went on a trip to Lake Kelly. This would be the first time that I had experienced just being outside for a whole weekend with my family. The time that I would enjoy spending there is a time that I will most likely never forget. The drive up to the lake was about 7 hours. Most of the time I just lied down in our vehicle unbuckled listening to music or falling asleep on top of all our bags of clothes and sleeping bags. If I was not listening to music I was mostly…

One, two, three, BREATHE, four, five, six, BREATHE, seven, eight, nine-- I can’t. I can’t. I can’t. Too dark, like an involuntary blindfold that I can’t rip off. I’ve tried--the scratches on my cheeks are there to prove it. My heart races inside my chest, kicking out a tempo in time with the shallow breaths that push themselves out of my chest. One, two, three, BREATHE, four, five, six, BREATHE. Keep it together. Molly’s out there. Ted, too. Oh dear, so is Emily, poor little Emily. My bare…

, 2009 ). People were so worried about being cursed that they would turn a blind eye to people on the street (Hplovecraft.com, 1913). They would not speak or associate with any of the people with deformities. The belief of the town was that nightcrawlers came out during the dead of night and attacked unsuspecting people (Hplovecraft.com, 1913). The fear was so great that people actually fled to their homes at dusk and hide in the dark, depths of their…

with terrible silent screams, the statues fall one at a time and crash onto the library floor. Not solid marble at all, but with thin exteriors like eggshells that crack open and spew their true contents. Rotting meat crawling with maggots. Fat nightcrawlers and green garter snakes and horned lizards.”(page 131) This shows what Hank was hallucinating because of the cut that he got. Using my five senses I could see and hear the statues fall on the floor, and smell the rotting meat…

Duchess” by Robert Browning. There have been very few adaptations of the work since its creation, and none within the film industry, so it would be a perfect, new medium for the story to be told. With the recent successes of films like Gone Girl and Nightcrawler, there is a clear public desire to witness passion, egotism, and sociopathology unravel; the narrator from “My Last Duchess” would provide a new archetype for these characteristics in a love story that falls apart because jealousy…

Scene- A small Café by the road. It is sparsely occupied. FRANK is seated on a chair adjacent to the window pane overlooking the road. RAHEL is facing FRANK, on the opposite seat. FRANK is staring at a coffee mug on the table. RAHEL (Reaching her hand out to hold FRANK’s) Is something the matter? FRANK (Raising his eyes to meet hers and shifting in his chair) Nothing sweetheart. Just work. RAHEL Oh, I thought it had something to do with that wife of yours. FRANK You don’t have to worry about…
