    Stephen Ferruzza Professor Housel March 8, 2000 Essay # 2 Opinions and views that take place in Hollywood movies are intended to be realistic. To the viewer, the plots and stories seem so believable that reality becomes faded and a simulated world becomes present inside their minds. In the movies Big and Working girl, Corporate America is portrayed actually the way it is. The atmosphere in Corporate America has progressed toward a higher complexity. The education and skills needed to succeed mus...

    Police Academy: Mission to Moscow (1994) 1/2 This movie succeeds on only one mission - the mission to suck. That's the only way to describe the seventh Police Academy movie. It sucks, so much so that previous entries in the series look like classics in comparison. I can't say I didn't expect it to be this bad, because once I saw the copy on the back of the box that read, "Kicking butt-ski! Making you laugh-ski! The Academy is back-ski!" I knew it wouldn't be up for any Oscars. If the most clever...

    Is Life Beautiful? In the movie Life Is Beautiful Roberto Benin a plays a Jewish father married to an Italian wife. This movie had many ups, downs, happy parts, and sad parts, but almost all seemed quite accurate and touching. My favorite part in the movie was when he was helping wait a party which his uncle was catering. His uncle had a beautiful horse which he praised greatly. While they were at the party Roberto's uncle had rode his horse to the party and had it standing outside. Soon however...

His dad relieved a human skull as a promotional price from a pharmacy institution when he was very young, and this sparked H.R. Giger interest in the strange and macabre. His mother encouraged his artistic ability, though she often failed to understand his strange fascinations. In 1953 he attends the cantonal school in Chur (a technical school), and in 1957 at...

    Without Limits - Movie Review Words - 1,111 The movie Without Limits takes place in Munich Germany during the 1972 Olympics. This movie is about hopes, dreams, and ambitions. During the late '60's and early '70's, Steve Prefontaine single-handedly revitalized the sport of track transforming it from a college activity to a major national interest.

    Lost In Translation " Lost In Translation" is one of those movies that seek to be something having something extra something that is more than a regular movie. Moreover, it does so effectively without being pretentious, all through the movie it does not seem like it is trying too hard to be something other than what is there. It is skillfully written, well directed and it boasts of a solid cast not very spectacular but full of good actors. Jointly, this eventually results in an enjoyable and int...

    Sphere Sphere is an interesting story about a group of scientists from different disciplines who are brought to a super-secret underwater site where the U.S. Navy has discovered a mysterious, glowing sphere. Although the movie was very interesting, a lot of scientific facts, it was just too long and there were parts of the film where I found myself yawning. I give the movie a thumb up for being the movie my teacher chose to show the class. Although the movie was directed by Barry Levinson and st...

    Although the movie Wag the Dog is a comedy about a completely fake war, written and produced by a top Hollywood producer and a presidential Mr. Fix-It in order to take the focus off of a presidential sex scandal 11 days before the election, it does have a serious message to impart - Don't believe everything you see on TV. Sure, parents tell their kids that the man on TV isn't really dead, it's all fake, and we all know that movies and sitcoms and dramas aren't real, they " re written and acted. ...

    Sometimes the magic of movies gives you an overwhelming amount of emotion by bringing you joy, fear, or sorrow. Sometimes, movies offer a great old-fashioned learning experience. For someone who does not know a thing about African politics in the early 1960's, "Lumumba" is a movie that is just dying to explain it all. Patrice Lumumba (played by Eric Ebouaney) was a postal clerk and beer salesman, who represented the Congo (controlled by Belgium) in the Pan-African Conference in Accra. Following ...

    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, mo...

    Why The Creator Of The DVD is my personal God 2002 was a record-breaking year of the movie business. However, it also boasted the lowest number of movie-goers in more then a decade. So, how is it possible that less then half the people went to the cinema, yet the business raked in double the earnings? Simple. Double the price tag. Going to a movie is no longer a cheap date. You " ll be lucky to get away at under $20 a person. Going to a Friday or Saturday night show (the most poplar time slots) ...
  • Jack Carter
    608 words
    A battle of pride; a fight for vengeance; an impossible mission for Jack Carter... This gritty, gruesome gangster movie is superbly set in the grimy, glum city of Newcastle. "Get Carter" is the epitome of the 1970's British gangster movie. It is a true classic, a superb debut by director Mike Hodges, and a gripping performance by Michael Caine. The setting is perfect - a dismal, dreary, working class city. The horizon is always grey, the general outlook is bleak. This reflects the lives of those...

    The idea that every science fiction film is inspired by a religious or mythological background holds true in the movie, Titan, A.E. These backgrounds include those involving the Chinese, Greeks and Egyptians. The first suggestion involving mythology is in the title of the movie itself. A Titan was a race of Gods in the Greek culture that ruled the Earth before the Olympians. In my opinion, a large majority of the movie can be explained by examining this portion of mythology. I feel that Cale rep...
