If comedy can predict the future, it just foretold Hollywood’s futuristic contraption to sit next to the Disney vault, move over Netflix. Two comedians just found a way to fictionally re-enjoy our favorite movies. Matt Braunger and Ron Funches star in the twelve-minute-long 2015 film Movie Mind Machine. Directed by Maureen Bharoocha and written by Eric Cunningham. Here lays a film which serves viewers a little bit of satire, culture, and some questionable but funny science. The plot of a Movie…

Early, as the film Mad Max: Fury Road was coming out, I heard a rumor that the feral kid from Road Warrior was going to be featured. As I watched Fury Road I was taken by Max. I had felt like I had seen the mannerisms of his persona before. I am convinced that the Feral Kid is “Max” in Fury Road. The way that he speaks, the way that he moves and fights; It points towards Max being the feral kid. How you may ask? I hope to explore and explain how this may be possible within this paper. I was…

When I’m talking about the difficulties that go along with being a woman in a male-dominated environment, it’s from experience. Having competed in a field with 50 other guys, I’m pretty familiar with feeling out of place and unwelcome. That situation was definitely unfavorable for me, but I cannot begin to imagine being put in a job field of only men that is also as grueling as the Behavioral Science Unit in the FBI. This is where FBI trainee Clarice Starling finds herself in Jonathan Demme’s…

The Bourne Identity is an action, spy thriller, and a love movie. The movie is directed by Doug Liman and one of the main stars is Matt Damon. Throughout this movie, it has you on the edge of your seats because with all the action and love scenes in it. As I began to watch the movie more and more I noticed that I have already seen the movie because it felt like déjà vu. In the film you see that Bourne is running away and trying to find his identity at the same time. That brings me to what I want…

The group presentation was an overall a success. We followed the outline pretty closely and each one of executed our part. In the beginning It seemed like we would not work well together because of our different personalities and busy schedules, but we all pulled it together. After a long debate about the topic of our assignment, we finally agreed to use the Horror movie, Saw. The reason why we picked Saw is because it uses suspense, scare tactics, horror and many more other features to display…

I think the “Andy Griffin Show” was more entertaining than “The Monsters Are Due on Maple Street”. The reason I think this is because”The Monsters Are Due on Maple Street” took place in the dark and I do not like the dark. I like the “Andy Griffin Show” better is because it took place in the daylight hours and I like day. I also like the “Andy Griffin Show” because all you see is a stranger and in”The Monsters Are Due on maple Street” you see Aliens. I would much rather see a stranger in my town…

Rabid is the David Cronenberg film that I've been craving lately after having been disappointed with Dead Ringers. The film is a 70s mishmash of vampires, zombies and biological disorder. It also has lead actress Marylin Chambers showing off her splendid boobies. In conjunction with releasing Dead Ringers on Blu-ray, Scream Factory has also released Rabid in a Collector's Edition Blu-ray package with a substantial amount of special features and a damn fine transfer. Read on to see if you should…

Under the Shadow is Horror At Its Finest Under the Shadow is an Iranian low-budget horror movie from first-time writer/director Babak Anvari. It is about Shideh (Narges Rashidi) and her young daughter Dorsa (Avin Manshadi) who are haunted by an evil force during the 1980s in Tehran, Iran. It is similar in many ways to the 2014 Australian horror movie The Babadook. In fact, it is almost shockingly similar. But does that negate Under the Shadow’s right to exist? In short, no. It is no secret that…

Behind the Books As several monsters are being presented in the movie "goosebumps";we are reminded of our own childhood and the frightening monsters in our nightmares. In today's society, no emphasis is given to those childhood monsters but rather are consumed by the latest horror trends in movies and current frightening world events such as terrorist attacks. Today, they don't need to, it is given to them constantly. All they have to do is to watch the news, hear it from their parents or…
