I think it would be very hard to not like "Cinema Paradiso". My opinion is very bias because I personally loved the film, but I feel like its story contains something for everyone. It is brilliant in so many ways, from the music, to the character development, the relatable story, and so on. "Cinema Paradiso" has rightfully earned the attention and award recognition that it received. Reliving the memories of a young Salvatore and experiencing his nostalgia, reminds us all of something in our own…

While these movies were a lot a like in many ways throughout their esseense and what the story is about, I liked City of God the best. I liked the fact that the movie was very fast paced, in color and it seems for some reason more like comic/action movie. The movie would have fast zooms on a characters faces and we could see the camera physically move and shake which you normally don't in movies now, it was more like a documentary than a all in all fake movie. We see how Rocket grows up and he…

The differences between documentaries and films can be observed when they share premise. Set in the 1970s, The Walk (2015), a film directed by Robert Zemeckis, is based on the legendary true story of tightrope walker Phillippe Petit and his plan to wire walk without a safety harness between the twin towers with the help of his team. The documentary Man on Wire (2008), directed by James Marsh, contains the same storyline as the film, however, it differs from it as the two are different types of…

Another important aspect of the movies to discuss is whether the films accurately depict true stories and events as well as historically accurate characters. To begin, of the two films Windtalkers is the one that strays the farthest from the trust. In fact, the only truly historically accurate portion of the movie is that the code talkers were real people who played an enormous role in battles like Iwo Jima and World War II. Other than this, the characters of Windtalkers, including Yahzee and…

I never had to suffer from either of these punishments. When I was younger, around the first or second grade I adored the Cam Jansen and Junie B. Jones series. The main character in the Cam Jansen books had a photographic memory and could ‘take pictures’ with her mind, so for a long time I thought that I could too. In the fourth grade, I read Harry Potter, the seven-book series; that was the beginning of my obsession over books. I would voluntarily spend several hours reading every night.…

Trolls, the new animated movie about the little dolls with the long, neon-hued hair, is the kind of movie that invites the mind to wander.This is to say it’s not a good movie, but it’s also not a bad movie. It’s reasonably entertaining, with some good musical numbers and at least one goofily endearing performance.But it’s also just a little bit all over the place, with a story that often seems like a fairy-tale greatest hits album — with all the hits covered by trolls. It’s a story assembled by…

Could you imagine football, basketball, hockey, gymnastics, and trampolines mixed? Sounds like chaos, right? If you can and it sounds like fun, then you might like slamball. Slamball has a short history, many tough rules, and six teams that competed. Slamball started in a small warehouse in Los Angeles, California. The idea of slamball came from a video game and the creator Mason Gordon wanted to create it into a real life video game. Open tryouts were held based on athletic ability, body…

Everybody knows at least one movie that just should not have been made. Creators and directors all over the world create films as a living, but only sometimes are they actually worth it. The 2010 movie, Rubber, is absolutely one of the worst movies ever made. The lines are awful, there are really bad actors, and an even stupider plot. A character's lines always affects the movie. In the very beginning, a random car comes out of nowhere, and knocks over chairs sitting in the middle of the desert…

Millions of people around the world sit down in front of their television set and are told that “For the next hour, sit quietly and we will control all that you see and hear”. But this seemingly absorbing lead into a popular science fiction TV show is actually telling the truth. What the unsuspecting audience is being fed is chilling. “What is dangerous about television is not its junk, it is that television is transforming all serious public business into junk” (449 P4) In addition, the…

Volleyball games are a time with excitement and intensity for all ages. From digging, and sets to serving and kills, this sport has mastered the art of entertainment for all. Volleyball is one of my favorite sports. Though I don’t get to play it all year round, the memories of the events will forever stay. During these events many things do occur, like friendship, trust, and believing in yourself that you can do more. This has encouraged me to portray opportunities and do more actives.…
