Truth is, whether you think you’re a linguistics major or a linguistics minor, everyone, whether you notice or not, uses “like” in sentences where you, like, didn’t need to. Hearing yourself say it, you wince and vow against it, yet most people still say it subconsiously like every five minutes! Using “like” as a slang interjection has actually gone on for…
I have said the book is bad, and I have claimed that the story could be a lot better. But the movie also proved that the story could be a lot worse. Basically, the story is the same; a girl is violated and murdered and goes to heaven, only it’s not heaven but a place…
Akira Kurosawa, iconic Japanese film director, producer, screenwriter, and editor. Kurosawa has directed 30 films in an astonishingly successful career spanning 57 years.
Epic chases on assembly or in the middle of canyons, either with the infamous Bugs Bunny or some other general character from Looney Tunes, and the music that fuels the feel of animation? They are those of Raymond Scott’s compositions. Raymond was an ingenious composer, musician and a primitive engineer, and was also a creative,…
Recently I saw the much acclaimed Tron Legacy in 3D. When I first heard of the movie and saw that it was a Disney movie, I didn’ t really expect much since Disney has never appealed to me. This is because many of Disney movies have been mostly family movies so Tron seemed like it would…
I’m pretty sure most people are familiar with the cutely animated “Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer and the Island of Misfits,” or the special stop-motion animation of “A Year without Santa Claus,” and the catchy tune of “I’m Mr. White Christmas, I’m Mr. Snow…” sung by Snow Miser. Seasonal celebrations on a cold, wintry evening are most picturesquely imagined…
I recently had the chance to watch a movie called “Brick.” I haven’t seen a movie like this for quite a while, so I decided to share my thoughts on it. Brick follows a high school student named Brendan. Brendan is amazingly intelligent. He constantly takes things into his own hands and appears rather stubborn.…
“The Shining” is a movie made in 1980 based on a classic Stephen King novel. This movie was really weird. I honestly did not see the point of it. Anyway, let me tell you what it is about. This guy Jack–who is played by Jack Nicholson, is a writer and school teacher. Him and his…
When I first heard about the movie Stranger Than Fiction, I thought it was going to be an outrageous comedy since the protagonist is played by Will Ferrell. It is rare for one to come across a better example of why we shouldn’t judge a book by it’s cover. The plot is quite simple. Our…
If I had to sum this movie up in one word, I think that word would be “WOAH!” This movie was definitely not what I was expecting after reading the back of the box. For Halloween movies, this was not my favorite, but it was not bad. The whole movie is actually kind of confusing.…
Chrisitmas is coming! During the holiday season, it is always good to watch some movies with your family. Here are some suggestions. The Family Man Film Description: Jack Campbell is an investment broker on Wall Street. With his solid professional and financial information and the keen sense of smell of opportunity, he became a recognized…
First off, I would like to say that this is a pretty good movie. It is a little creepy in some scenes but nothing too bad. This movie is based on this orphan named Esther. She seems to be a cute and innocent child that loves to draw pictures. But most of the pictures she…
I recently got the opportunity to see the movie Case 39. This movie was quite scary, so if you’re planing on seeing it…watch out! This movie’s main character is played by Renee Zellweger, who is a social worker. She gets a call to go check out a house where the parents might be abusive. So…
I recently got the chance to watch a film called “Waking Life.” It was a very different kind of film, but I think that it’s different in a good way. This is an animated film that follows a young man trapped in a series of dreams where he converses with people or acts as a…
Spoiler alert: This review will give significant plot developments away. As the film starts, you will be able to sense strong themes of blackness and death. But just as I was immersed in a fierce fight with all of Harry’s friends disguised as him (through Polyjuice potion), the movie suddenly changed to finding the horcruxes.…
