Stunt double

The ‘Mission: Impossible’ franchise recently celebrated its nineteenth birthday, making this franchise almost of legal drinking age, let that sink in. This franchise has been around for almost five more years than the ‘Fast & Furious’ franchise, and yet it’s still managing to be just an incredulous and energetic as anything to ever come out of that franchise. I’m not at all dissing the ‘Fast & Furious’ franchise, it just pumped out its seventh installment and still managed to thrill me to my…

Because of my association with the Artemis Film Festival, I not only have an appreciation for stunt women; I actually seek them out and do my utmost to promote their work whenever I can. I will always claim that festival opened my eyes, and Maja Aro was my instructor for "Stuntwomen 101." Therefore, I am pleased to share with you my interview with Lisa Chandler, stuntwoman and actress extrodinaire! I was thrilled that she took the time to inform me about how she got started in the business, her…

plays Simpson and Nicholas Aarons (Countdown to murder, First kill/last kill) who plays Yates, to inmate the mountaineer’s memories and experiences in such a compelling way. By employing Mackey and Aarons, who are experienced climbers and double up as stunt doubles, Macdonald is able to recreate the drama authenticity as both are able to climb the exact tracks Simpson and Yates did in Switzerland, France, Peru and the Alps. With the film being based around mountain climbing and not involving a…

of until now. 1) Sean Astin, who played Mikey, was allowed to keep One-Eyed Willie's treasure map from the movie, but, years later, his mother cleaned out his bedroom and threw away the map without realizing its value. 2) Randell Widner, the stunt double for John Matuszak who played Sloth, had to shadow the former football player around town to make sure he got back to the hotel due to his drinking habits, drug use and penchant for picking fights. 3) In part of the movie, Sloth is seen…

I am going to be taking about baseball. I will talk about why I like it better than any other sport. I think baseball requires more mental abilities than physical because you have to be able to read pitches and you have to be able to read the batter and you have to read the ball when it comes off the bat. Baseball does require physical health to because you have to be able to hit hard, throw accurate and fast, and you have to be able to run and catch a ball if it comes to you. I like baseball…

Psycho by Alfred Hitchcock introduced an important kind of movie, the slasher film, to America in 1968. Notably, there is a really good background to the film. In fact, it had lots of facts the world would be dying to know. Next, it has a bunch of effects that I was shocked once I had heard. In all, Psycho is a pretty good movie in general. This movie Psycho was created in the 1960s and then later on it was copied and re-written to a more famous version of 1998. Foremost, Alfred referred…

the role of a father figure. I believe the actor is not a type cast because he usually does comedy, yet he can be an outstanding actor when it becomes a serious film. A) In the first film, the actor uses his lanky body as a stunt double, which is important because student doubles have to overcome fears. B) The actor uses his facial expression very effectively because he illustrates the worried and…

Actors perform roles for an audience in different ways. They may use speech, body movement, and hand gestures. They can perform in a variety of genres, such as dramas, comedies, or thrillers. They may appear in films, on television, or live on stage. Acting can be a fun and rewarding job, but it is very competitive. Most actors go to many auditions, even though they will not get a lot of those roles. To prepare for auditions, actors are required to memorize scripts and get into character. After…

investigating the death of his adopted Vietnamese brother, was somewhat of an iconic landmark to the skateboarding genre of the era. Many well-known skaters had cameos in the film, including Tony Hawk and Rodney Mullen, where Mullen served as Slater's stunt double. A common stereotype to skateboarders is that they have no manners or respect (for people or the law), they do illegal activities and smoke weed. A majority of teens are like this to a certain extent but not completely. Another big…
