much. Character development was weak as well, but again I had low expectations. It's the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles we are talking about here were two of the main villains are named Bebop and Rocksteady. Sound and Music: 7: I enjoyed the soundtrack. It was fun to hear some catchy 80's and 90's tunes. VFX: 7: It was good. The villain character design was very reminiscent of the 90's cartoon, which I liked. Overall: 6: Not that good from a film standpoint. I thought it was fairly…

"This process of continuous alteration was applied not only to newspapers, but to books, periodicals, pamphlets, posters, leaflets, films, soundtracks, cartoons, photographs—to every kind of literature or documentation which might conceivably hold any political or ideological significance (Orwell, 194p. 40) This quote refers to the process of changing the past, which is Winston's job.

On February 8, 1932 John Williams, a very talented composer, conductor, and pianist was born. Williams inherited his music abilities from his dad, a percussionist, and conductor, and his brother, who was also a studio percussionist. In 1952 Williams was handed an amazing opportunity, to arrange music for The U.S. Air Force Band. He took the job until 1955 when he decided to move to New York to attend Juilliard and study piano. Little did he know this was just the start of his musical career.…

Trailer Comparison Essay ‘Deadpool’ directed by Tim Miller and ‘Suicide Squad’ directed by David Ayer both utilise close-up shots as part of their trailers. The ‘Suicide Squad’ trailer commences with closeup shots to introduce all characters which has the effect of making a lasting impression in order to be more memorable.

If you are still worried, you can bring something. In my case, though I thought I was ready, it was hard to neglect the steely stare, so I brought my MP3 player to listen to the soundtracks of Star Trek, or my phone to watch the trailer video of Tarantino’s next movie, the Great Movies by Roger Ebert to enlighten myself. Some teachers called me to their offices to ask me what had happened, and I told them how I appreciated the charm…

Ondaatje’s artwork has and always will be one of my favourite things to read and analyse. Therefore last night, I decided to go watch the ongoing theatre adaptation of his new book, Anil’s Ghost. For those who still haven’t read it, this authentic and touching novel follows the thoughts of many Sri Lankan Tamils with different background during the dreadful civil war. It especially follows the eponymous character Anil, a slightly morose and independent forensic pathologist. Just like the…

In 1998, Wicked produced a Broadway musical as Idina as Elphaba, the Wicked Witch of the West who becomes unlikely friends with Glinda the Good which played by Kristen. The soundtrack of the musical builds up to the preeminent climax where Elphaba has settled on her way of becoming wicked. In the beginning of the musical the songs are light hearted, funny and rhythmic like in the song “Popular,” where Glinda is trying to give…

Enemy: A Study of the Subconscious Mind Dennis Villeneuve's Enemy (2014) takes us on a journey through the subconscious mind of a man in the midst of an identity crisis. Jake Gyllenhaal knocks it out of the park with two stellar performances - playing Adam Bell, a mild-mannered history professor and his doppelgänger, Anthony Claire, a suave, self-centered actor. In contrast to Villeneuve and Gyllenhaal's earlier collaboration and mainstream success Prisoners (2013), Enemy relies on symbolism…

The recent film, Black Panther by Ryan Coogler, might’ve been one of the best sci-fi movies I’ve ever seen. The film surpasses the African stereotype by showing how high tech and advanced the people of Wakanda are. The African nation was made up of skyscrapers, high tech gadgets and weapons, aircrafts, etc-all made within the Wakanda. In the film, the King of Wakanda, T’Challa, faces his long lost cousin as they compete for leadership and the throne of Wakanda. We will discuss why Black Panther…

When I was little, I always said I didn’t like reading. I never considered myself to be a valuable reader or writer. My parents both loved reading, and I was always told that I would feel differently about it when I was older. As the story often goes, my parents were right. As I grew older and was exposed to people who did love reading and writing. I learned to love it just as they did. The three people in my life who have been influential to my skills as a reader and a writer are my mother,…
