Thin film

The movies “Psycho” by Alfred Hitchcock and “What Lies Beneath” by Robert Zemeckis are similar in the sense they are both amazingly put together in a horror movie that the viewers loved. It takes a lot of effort to make a good movie that the audience will like, but it would take more from a horror movie so the audience would stay and watch up till the end. For the people who do enjoy the horror movies, there are many reasons why they watch scary movies. The elements that make the horror…

the 1930’s are in black in white, this era was labeled “The Golden Age of HollyWood.” This was right after that of the 1920’s silent films. The 1930s were known for their sound and color revolutions.

over and what better way to get back into the swing of things by watching a bad movie. Okay, bad might not be the best term to describe The Brain That Wouldn't Die, as it certainly isn't the worst movie I've witnessed before. Yes, the plot is paper thin and could've easily been trimmed down to a solid 20-minute episode of Twilight Zone or something similar, but overall I enjoyed the movie enough. However, the movie isn't the main reason to pick up Scream Factory's new Blu-ray. No, the reason to…

orchestrator of film scores. He was mostly known for the vocal and electronic elements in many of his film scores. Horner was also a respected composer of concert music before he started writing film scores. His first major film score was for the film "The Lady in Red," but he did not establish himself as a well known film composer until he worked on the 1982 film "Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan." Horner's score for "Titanic" has the distinction of being considered the best selling film…

Growing up can be a time of epic but simultaneously pointless inner turmoil. Jim Stark (played naturally by James Dean) is a troubled youth, moved from town to town by his parents, the dictatorial mother Carol (Ann Doran) and her gutless husband Frank (Jim Backus). On the first night of their move Jim gets drunk and finds himself taken to the police station, where he meets Ray Fremick (Edward Platt), a mentorial figure, which quickly influences Jim's mindset. Even the best intentions to behave…

levels of importance. We are all a little bit crazy, some are worse than others, but there is something beautiful and unique within all of us. That certain “normal” we all want doesn't really exist. This film is an impressive view of examination into that aspect of our life. The irony in the film is that Pat at times seems to be the only sane character, because other characters who have obviously not been diagnosed as mentally ill clearly show symptoms. The movie provides an example of…

much as any boy in his adolescence years. I was more of a Power Ranger fan, but TMNT was right there in the same wheelhouse of interest. Even tough I'm not that old, I can't take the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles seriously at my age. I watched this film to take a trip down nostalgic lane, nothing more. Source Material: Orginal TMNT characters created by Kevin Eastman and Peter Laird. Other characters inspired by the cartoon series from the 80's and 90's titled, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles.…

The violence of the films Funny Games and Cannibal Holocaust is perpetrated by human beings. In Funny Games, cruelty is dealt with a heavy but nonchalant hand by highly creepy, unnaturally polite and detached young men who repeatedly call out the audience on their nature and motivations. By asking the audience if we are sated, our thin immersion within the film is broken and we find ourselves suddenly disconnected and forced into introspection. Why are we watching this? Is this entertaining?…
