    Mr. Spielberg, While your movies Jurassic Park and The Lost World are entertaining, they are not accurate portrayals of the ecosystem in the Jurassic period. Through close examination of the animal and plant life in your movies, my high school environmental geology class has come to the decision that your movies are typical misleading Hollywood fabrications of historical data. Our most outstanding concern is that out of the eleven varied species of dinosaurs in both of your movies, only four wer...

    Historical Validity in 2004's "The Alamo" In the 2004 release, by Touchstone Pictures, "The Alamo" takes a famous story told throughout time and recreates it on the screen once again. This time was it really any better than the other releases? Maybe the flashy effects and better film quality could interest you in this movie but the real question is how valid is it. To the average person this story looks as if they have recreated it perfectly, but to a historian it might not look so genuine. Alth...

    History 2057 Section 22 March 7, 2004 Short Paper Assignment #223-1: Motion Picture Diaries: This document reading that I chose to write my short paper assignment on is a collection of diary entries from three different young people from three distinctly different back rounds. Yet, this primary source shows that there is one common link between the three of them and that is their love of movies and the early motion pictures that seemed to captivate Americans from every walk of life. All three of...
  • Competitive Analysis Blockbuster Inc And Movie Gallery
    537 words
    Competitive Analysis Blockbuster Inc. and Movie Gallery are currently the two strongest competitors in the market, and therefore pose the biggest threats to Netflix. Amazon, Intelli flicks, and Clean films are all present in the market, but don't possess enough force at this time to be considered a threat to Netflix. Blockbuster As of right now, Blockbuster is the biggest competitive threat to Netflix. Blockbuster was incorporated in 1989 in Delaware and is a major renter of home videocassettes,...

    Lesson Four: Capstone Review (The Grudge) The film I recently watched was The Grudge. The film was filmed entirely in Tokyo where Japanese director Takashi Shimizu brought the popular Japanese horror stories to the American movie viewers. I went into The Grudge expecting a horror film based on the previews I had seen. When I watched the movie I found it to be quite a bit scary than what the previews had made it to be. So the film held up to its previews, however it was scary I would not rank it ...
  • Movie And Text Paul
    913 words
    As with almost any written story and movie there are differences, some major and some minor. This is the case with 'Paul's Case'. The movie has a few new scenes in it, yet the text goes into more detail of what makes Paul tick. Now in both the movie and story Paul starts out at school for a confrontation by his teachers. Paul appears smug in both scenarios. He also was behaving like a somewhat different young boy with his red carnation on his button hole. This demeanor added to his smugness. He ...

    Essay 4: Synthesis Activity #2 How often do you hear a person refer to a movie as a horror movie these days Now that you think about it, you don t hear it very often.

  • Previous James Bond Movies
    265 words
    Movie Critique: The World is Not Enough With myself being a mad James Bond fan seeing this movie was not enough. I attended it the first night that it was shown and then upon hearing that we could critique a movie in the movie theater again, I knew that I must see Bond again. The director's goal in the movie was the same as it is in any of the previous James Bond movies. To have a smooth, slick and sexy superhero was the main look for 007. The look of Bond also had to be that of cunning, quick a...
  • Most Important Thing About The Movie
    567 words
    After preparing for a long day of movie watching I reluctantly put the first tape in to the VCR. I was armed with a bottle of water, a vegetarian sandwich, and a pillow. I figured these supplies would get me through the first half. When it was all said and done I realized that the movie was exceptional. Besides being a little on the long side the move, "Ghandi" was in depth, enjoyable and realistic. Even though I complained I found that this movie was very good. I would recommend it to anyone. I...
  • Scary Movie
    283 words
    How bad can a movie be? It can be so bad that the trailers for other movies are the best part. It can be so bad that you'd rather put out your own eyes than watch. It can be so bad you want to find the guys who green lighted this movie, bury them up to their necks in the blazing sun and pour fire ants on them. "Scary Movie 3" is that bad. "Scary Movie 3" is another crappy sequel and, God-willing, the last. The franchise has gotten progressively worse ever since the Wayans brothers abandoned it a...

    First I want to say that glory was an excellent movie and I enjoyed watching it. People who haven't seen it before should really see it. With movies like this it really gives you an understanding about what really went on. Glory tells the story about a group of soldiers, the 54th regiment of Massachusetts. This group was made up of a troop of African American men who fought to help win liberty for their enslaved brothers. In the movie the troops have to get ready for battle because they haven't ...
  • Poseidon In The Movie

    Did you know that the movie, "O Brother Where Art Thou" is based on Homer's Odyssey? I didn't know that until I watched the movie. There are many similarities and differences between the characters in the movie and in the book. There was a Cyclops in both the movie and the book. The Cyclops in the movie is a one-eyed Bible salesman named, Big Dan Teague. He lures them out to a remote location under the pretext of talking business, then proceeds to beat them with a tree branch. The Cyclops in the...
  • Funny Movie
    604 words
    Movies that are said to be "hilariously funny" could never be compared with the movie of "Dumb and Dumber". Lloyd (Jim Carrey) and Harry (Jeff Daniels) are the characters who are enjoyable to watch. The movie is basically about Lloyd and Harry who are raveling to Aspen, Colorado to give back a briefcase to Mary Swanson (Lauren Holly) who happens to leave it at the airport. This is one of the funniest movies of all time with its "fall-out-of-your-seat" laughs and its practical jokes that are done...
  • Lack Of Morals And Spirituality In Movies
    738 words
    Spirituality and Morality in Modern Film Spirituality, the act of holding something sacred that is neither tangible nor material, and morality, the display of conscience and concern with the conviction of human behavior, are both frequent topics of debate in modern society. However, one must take into consideration that the importance of values varies greatly, not only among different countries, but even more intensely between different social and economic groups. Though there are many different...
