Not So Scary Movie

He likes to show the audience the tragedy that is going to occur, before the characters that are going to experience it know of it. His films are well received by worldwide audiences and critics everywhere and his movies have stood the test of time. Mark Pellington is a new director who hasn’t had even close to as much success as Hitchcock. His directing style seems to be much more modern and incorporates many different styles and angles. Arlington Road, directed by Mark Pellington, does not live up to the likes of a movie such as Rear Window, directed by Alfred Hitchcock because while they are similar in plot, they are far too different in themes, and directorial approach.

So many things brought the movie down. Poor acting, bad plot development, and awkward cinema techniques are some of the things to blame. After watching the movie I was left with a lot of questions. I felt like the movie could almost have been saved if some of the things in the movie were a little more developed, like the images from the video, and if the plot was made to be a little less fantastical. Then again, I also thought that if a couple more elements of dry humor and even further out plot twists were made, Ringu could have been a wonderful comedy.

In the history of movies, there are great movies that come out. Then, filmmakers try to recreate the brilliance of that movie with a sequel, sometimes many sequels. All to make more money with something that is familiar to everyone. It very rarely works as well a second or third time around. Because the films usually completely dumb down the first movie 's premise and drop the important parts, in favor of something a lot simpler.

Film Review: Mindwalk If a good movie is one that makes you think, Mindwalk must be superb. However, I haven’t even read the book it was based on and I can say that the book must have been better. The actors are laughable, and the physicists’ accent changes with each new scene. Furthermore, the transitions to each scene are as smooth as sandpaper. The purpose of this movie wasn’t, and with good reason, to be glamorous though.

But, with Pleasantville, something many critics missed was that this film could only be done through the medium of film. Its inspired tableau of a black and white world turning to color could never be conveyed with he written wor... ... middle of paper ... ...er interfered with the score. Personally, I thought it was more interesting to hear than just the isolated score by itself. Also included is a 30-minute documentary on the special effects techniques and art of the film, broken up into about five little mini-features. These were actually better than I thought, though the tech fellows interviewed did seem a bit uncomfortable in the spotlight.

With these aspects in the movie, he allows people to see certain flaws in the movie industry and celebrities from a different perspective. It also was a way for the movie industry and those celebrities to see themselves in this way. This movie used comedy as a method of showing these flaws and as it could have encouraged more people than offended. Even with that being said, some people may learn and change, but there will surely always be those absurd celebrities out there.

Directed by the Wachowskis, creators of The Matrix, a groundbreaking movie with amazing graphics and spectacular actors, the Wachowskis really let people down on this one. And, as stated before, this movie did have a pushed back release date, a major hint that this movie probably wouldn’t live up to any expectations

Conclusion Overall, this movie Cat O’ Nine Tails was not a very entertaining movie. The story was an interesting one to follow but the props and directing were subpar. The acting, however, was excellent and was the saving grace of this movie. I would not recommend this movie to anyone who is a regular moviegoer or who is a fan of Dario Argento because his directing is so bad. As a horror fan, this movie was an OK one.

Equally important, the Tales of Terror used a new combination that helped make more movies, like the Evil Dead. The movies also inspired many books, such as the Lust Lizard of Melancholy Cove. Finally, without the books and stories by Mr. Poe, The Tales of Terror would not have been possible, and without Cormans creativity, the new genre would have not been as popular as it is now. Roger Corman once said this: “You can make a movie about anything, as long as it has a hook to hang the advertising on.” (902) (Paper Rater: 95

In saying that, I also feel that it adds to his character and Dudley Moore is a phenomenal actor and he plays the role extremely well. The film Crazy People I have never seen before this class, and even though it was made many years ago before my generation, I laughed at almost every single joke. Part of it was I believe was the use of language and sexually content that made it appeal to teenage humor and the way that the actors portrayed crazy people. In my opinion, David Paymer was the best actor in the movie or at least the one who made me laugh the most.
