To Feel Infinite High school is a place where teens have to deal with social hierarchy, teenage angst, and hormones. Loads of young adult movies try their best to portray and include this lovely time of high school life. A movie in particular that does it really well is about an alienated freshman boy who meets two seniors. The seniors take the boy under their wing and help him discover the world from a new perspective after everything the boy has been through. All at the same time the boy is…

“Ready or not, here I come.” The enticing story written by Jane Yolen, The Devil's Arithmetic, is very comparable and same to the movie. There are many contrast to both the Film, and the narrative, though. There are little small things in the narrative story that almost make it better, but the movie has a lot more gruesome details. They are both very good. The book The Devil’s Arithmetic was written by Jane Yolen and was published in November of 1988. The Movie was made and available on March…

This movie is a classic crime/detective genre and is a black and white movie. The movie was made in 1941, and is about a young detective who gets involved with a gang in the city he lives in. It has twists and turns around every corner and has you on the edge of your seat the whole time. My opinion on it however is that it was a good movie and keeps you intrigued, it was kind of slow and at some points it was hard to understand what everybody was saying. Like I said earlier the movie was made…

varying degrees. Which in my opinion is what really makes this movie as good as it is, because that certainly wasn't the writing. Honestly I had never even heard of this film until about six months ago, and after looking into I have no idea how I missed this film growing up. I can't feel that my lack on nostalgic goggles is bringing the film down or if it was just over-hyped. But for me as fun as it is, The Monster Squad feels like it's trying to hard. As many scenes that are fun and memorable,…

and focusing on both his transvestitism and his touching friendship with the once great but now ageing and unemployed horror star Bela Lugosi. (Brooke,1994) Ed Wood the undisputed master of very bad movies and campy showmanship is portrayed in the film bearing his namesake as an inspired and unfailingly resilient optimist. The plot of Ed Wood centers on the director’s unique lifestyle and worldview and how they interact with his enthusiastic drive and obsessive pursuit to creating…

recording each moment on her video camera. The beginning of the documentary is when Phoebe still was unaware about her intersex condition. She recalls memories of her girlfriends growing breasts and talking about menstruating. Phoebe had noticed in her mid-teen years that she was not developing breasts as well as her friends and has yet to get her period. One day she asked her mother as to why she has not started her menstruation yet and her mother told her that she will never be able to…

greenlight sequels, even sequels to movies that few people particularly ask for. This is that grey area in Hollywood where box office success supersedes creativity - and as it pertains to Neighbors, which currently stands as Seth Rogen’s highest grossing film to date (live-action role, at least), it makes perfect sense for there to be a sequel. Right? The 2014 summer box office hit grossed $240 million against a miniscule $18 million production budget, leaving dollar signs embedded in the…

story of them saving the same world just drew me in. In the review published in Teen Ink they stated that the movie as "Funny, exciting, adventurous and nerve wracking” (Schatz). I believe this is exactly how to describe the movie. This review and many others explains how The Incredibles is funny, for both adults and children, and has the very best animations. The Incredibles is a Pixar action/adventure animated film directed by Brad Bird. This movie is about a modern family who is placed under…
