A Film Review on Jaws [IMAGE]"Jaws (Style A)" Movie PosterBased on the novel by Peter Benchley, the film sees New York cop, Martin Brody (played by Schneider), investigating a series of deaths that bear all the evidence of a shark attack. This was originally rated as a PG but when re-released a 12.

Film Review of The Crucible The Crucible: A Film Review Who'd have thought that simple dancing could cause so much chaos in a small town. This is precisely what happens in the film The Crucible (Nicholas Hytner, 1996), which was originally written as a play by Arthur Miller. This story is based on actual events, which helps in showing the accuracy of the events. The story takes place in Salem in 1692, during the Salem witch trials. The story starts when a group of young girls, particularly
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. As many of our “Hollywood” movies are. The fast action, sex, blood, money
Martin Luther was portrayed in the film as being a very educated man especially in the biblical text. He was however also portrayed as being a sort of mental wreck this is shown by how he acted in the several scenes that seemed to be in his living quarters at night when he would argue with himself and the devil. Martin Luther was respected by his teacher but his teachers colleagues did not approve of some of his behavior. Luther’s father saw him as being a failure since he had worked so hard to give
Striving for Respect “These waves are for the big boys” My film review is on the movie Blue Crush for my topic “Women competing with the men.” The movie is directed by John Stockwell and is written by Lizzy Weiss. The basic for the movie is that the main character Anne Marie is a surfer trying to make it big and become sponsored. She has to earn the respect of her friends, herself and the respect of the men surfers who ride the pipeline. She has to overcome her fears and conquer her own limits
Don’t Hang Up Philosophy –Philosophy Can Make A Movie Film: Romeo and Juliet Director: Baz Luhrmann Stars: Leonardo DiCaprio & Claire Danes Plot: Two lovers of rival, disputing families take their lives. Rating: Reviewer: Claire Ginn Welcome to Verona Beach, a sexy, violent other-world, neither future nor past, ruled by two rival families, the Montagues and the Capulets... So begins Baz Luhrmann’s production of Shakespeare's beloved play, "Romeo and Juliet," from the famous opening line of "Two
Gallipoli is the remarkable story of two Western Australian mates who are sent to Gallipoli in 1915. Frank and Archie are both very successful sprinters and Archie wants adventure, while Frank wants to stay in Australia, but signs up for the inventory anyway. This story brings back some harsh truths about warfare, and explains why so many naïve young men joined up, only to suffer deaths well before their time. The troops were headed for the Gallipoli peninsula and the Dardanelles Strait, in southern
Film Review: Close Encounters of the Third Kind Society & Entertainment Film Review What do you get when you combine aliens, a little bit of mystery, tasteful comedy, good acting, and award-winning direction? A wonderful film from one of the most celebrated directors of our time, Stephen Spielberg. "Close Encounters" places Richard Dreyfuss and Melinda Barro in roles of regular suburbanites who both believe to have seen a UFO. The plot thickens and the intrigue begins when these two determined
‘Sleepy Hollow’ film Review Blood and murder usually go down a treat for the people who love gore but this is not the case in the movie ‘Sleepy Hollow’. Repetition is the key to an ultimately predictable film. Just as in any other film we see a substance with a resemblance to blood fall onto a piece of paper. This tells our minds the movie will have elements of horror. Then two hands, male and female, clasp. A headless horseman then appears decapitating an innocent man on the run in the woods. This
Alright Kanmani-Movie Review What happens when you experience passionate feelings for, yet you both have spots to go? Do you pick your accomplice, or a superior life?

Film Review of Medicine Man This movie brings together many different character personalities. But in the end this happens to work out in a good way. The doctor, being Dr. Campbell, was a really smart man that came to the jungle and joined the tribe. While being there for awhile he was known as the new nickname. Why? Because he gave a child Alka Seltzer and made him fell better. The other medicine man was not very happy with Dr. Campbell because that was his own position that he took as
psychological thriller set in a hotel in New York City. Liked by critics and respected by fans of old-school horror, “1408” was successful upon its release in 2007. Mikael Håfström, a Swedish writer and director known for “Evil” and “Kopps,” directed the film. Plot Summary Mike Enslin, a jaded author who investigates supernatural and paranormal events, receives a mysterious postcard after the release of his latest book. The card, which depicts the Dolphin Hotel in New York City, arrives anonymously and
was stronger than that of maybe any other film I've ever seen. It shook me, stirred my emotions, made me think and reflect, it disturbed me in the most positive sense of the word and it still does. Its radical make, boldness and consistency exceeds all expectations and probably everything that's come before. This is the perfect example of a director's vision uncompromisingly realized. To be fair, I have to say that "Dancer in the dark" is one of those films that people either deeply admire and love
Taking Pictures: “Taking Picture” focuses on several Australian film makers, and the films they made in Papua New Guinea in the 1970s-90s. It displays the Western tradition of studying and recording other people's lives, raising questions about illustration and filming in a different culture. For anyone who has watched the films discussed in "Taking Pictures," the video is a penetrating and thoughtful analysis about the realities, politics, philosophies and aesthetics of producing documentaries
Will modern-day film adaptions overcome the staple fairy-tale plot that makes romantic comedies so endlessly appealing? Yasmin Perry Reports. Despite the increased demand for more relatable adaptations of predicable plots and whirlwind romances, directors and screen writers refuse to appease modern day audiences. Preferring to construct a storyline that plays heavily into the cliché rescue of a female protagonist from her helpless existence by a wealthy, handsome hero. It is the use of this foreseeable
Review of the movie “Jules and Jim”, a movie shot from the semi-autobiography novel by Henri-Pierre Roche about the relationship between his wife and friend, Franz Hesse, revolves around decades of a love triangle between two friends and an impulsive woman. I liked the plot of the movie and the unfolding drama of the two best friends and the woman in their life. Despite coming from different backgrounds, with Jules an Austrian and Jim French, manage a great friendship and freedom until they met with
father prompting him to stand up for his principles and the traditions of the school. The film is pitched towards a mature audience that is able to grapple with the issues at play and is of distinctive relevance to secondary students who would be able to relate to the narrative. Throughout

the battles are commanding. I can tell that this film took years to make, a lot of characters and many scenes; also considering it to be an old film, the technology probably made it a longer process to create the film. It also does a great job reflecting the main character with great mystery. The moral deepness of the story is exceptional, mainly for the early 1960s. The film is well directed, the dialogue is powerful and meaningful, and the
Review of the Film Adaptation of The Butcher Boy ‘The butcher boy’ was made into a film adaptation in 1997 by Neill Jordan and author of the original book Patrick McCabe. The Novel was highly praised and controversial. Many saw it as the best account of Irish childhood. Its time frame is reminiscent of the early 1960's. It is about a young boy called Francie Brady who becomes isolated from reality and eventually commit’s the ultimate sin of murder from this isolation he is experiencing. He is
