According to the Internet Movie Database, there are roughly 268,246 movies in existence. Yet out of all of those, there is one, in my opinion, that is superior to all of them— The Hunger Games. The Hunger Games is the best movie ever because of its action filled plot, highly-developed characters, and its ability to take the box office by storm. The first reason why I chose this movie as the greatest, was because of its action packed plot. The plot in The Hunger Games is riveting, fast-paced,…

In many works, books, movies, and other aspects of entertainment, the hero’s journey is not uncommon to the typical reader or moviegoer. The hero’s journey is one of the oldest tools to compose a piece of literature or work, however, it hardly ever fails to strike the audience as entertaining whether it be about a fictional or nonfictional occurrence. The journey to contain evil, both mythologically and realistically, requires sacrifice and courage in the face of fear, demonstrated in The House…

Living Is Easy With Eyes Closed, David Trueba’s 2013 film won five Goya Awards, Spain’s equivalent of Hollywood’s Oscars, after its release and became Spain’s nomination for the category of Best Foreign Film at the 2015 Academy Awards and for good reason. With a meaningful message and an ode to the effect The Beatles had on the world, accompanied with the images of the sun drenched, warm Andalusian landscape and an award winning music score written by Pat Metheny, the film “is both a farewell to…

“It is a fact, blessedly confirmed, that the American movie is affectionately received by audiences of all races, cultures, and creeds on all continents”, was said by the President of MPPA Jack Valenti and he was correct in saying so. The fourth installment of the Transformers: Age of Extinction, may have missed the mark at U.S. box offices, but there are many countries around the world where the film profits did not disappoint specifically China. The international success found in China from…

I’m Jesse Gabriel,a 18 year old. A professional skater and surfer. Graduated high school and a freshman in college. I am a risk taker and loves to travel around the world. It was a beautiful July day in the Miami Beach,Florida. I was waiting for another wave to come in,when I was hit from below. I felt sharp teeth rip into both my legs at once. Powerful jaws crushed down on my left ankle. Intense pain shot from my legs to the top of my skull. I heard myself scream.I knew right away that it was…

Saving Private Ryan, Casablanca, and Inglourious Basterds are three different movies that were produced in different time periods and have different plots, details, and points of view, but all still revolve around one common historical event-World War II. This is an occurrence that happens not only in movies but also in literature. A literary example of this is the correlation between the flood story in The Epic of Giglamesh and the flood story in the Old Testament Bible. Giglamesh is an epic…

Miami is considered the most known city of the three candidates and it’s located in the state of Florida. Charlotte is located in the State in North Carolina, and the considered the richest city among the three. In order to assist Steven Spielberg to choose…

Stanley Kubrick’s acclaimed film, 2001: A Space Odyssey opens with a black screen and a haunting overture that spans the length of nearly three minutes. Eventually, the overture fades out, and the audience can see it’s first glimpse of color; a dark blue background surrounding the film studio’s logo before the film’s first act officially begins. The momentary silence created by the ended overture does not last for long. The beginning of the film’s first act is marked by an operatic title…

"Well, nobody's perfect" the famous last line from the movie Some Like It Hot by director Billy Wilder, almost did not make it into the film. The line was only a temporary fill-in, until Wilder could come up with a better line. Fortunately, the line made it into the film, and became the most famous and iconic line of the entire film. The story is about two men, trying to escape from a criminal gang by dressing up as woman, and fleeing to Florida with an all-woman jazz band. The film thus stands…
