Film Review: Forgetting Sarah Marshall
The movie “Forgetting Sarah Marshall” is a successful example of comedy. It was theoretical released on April 18, 2008. The film was brought together by a group of well acted performers and was very famous for perfectly combining the hilarious performances and the laughter together. I think that a successful comedy movie has to have these important factors. First, it needs to be performed with the perfect sounds elements such as the background music and the songs in the movie; second, the movie should be brought by some famous figures and directors, which were well-known in the comedy industry to make sure it will have a great hit this time; third, there should be a lot of stupid scenes with nonsense in the movie that will make people laugh their heads off.

    Finding Nemo Research Paper

    Some examples that show how Finding Nemo fits into the genre of comedy is when the sharks say “fish are friends not food.” That is ironic because sharks eat fish to survive. Also, Dory plays eye spy with Marlin but because she has short term memory loss, she keeps spying the same thing over and over. Finally, Dory reminds us to not give up and “just keep…

    Film Evaluation - Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind

    Imagine undergoing a procedure that could erase a person from one’s mind completely. Some would say that it solves personal problems. Others would say that, in reality, it creates many more. This is the case for Joel Barish in the movie Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind. Joel is heartbroken to find out that his girlfriend, Clementine Kruczynski, went through the process of erasing him from her memory. He, then, decides to seek out the same procedure for himself. As Joel’s memories of Clementine disappear, he realizes that he is truly, deeply in love with her. Is it too late to undo his mistake? This incredible, very strange movie was produced in 2004 by Michel Gondry. It is a remarkable experience which is only to be expected from the screenwriter Charlie Kaufman. This film bounces around crazily on its timeline but the director never abandons the audience. Jim Carrey and Kate WInslet are our leading stars in this film, playing Joel Barish and Clementine Kruczynski. Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind is a beautiful romantic comedy mixed with a little fantasy and science fiction. It is full of real emotions and real characters that will be rooted for as they slowly but surely reserve a special place in hearts everywhere. Eternal Sunshine is the type of movie that will only get better as the years go by as it is passionate and has a unique flare unlike others. The three criteria that makes this film a definite favorite of thousands is the casting, the performance of the actors and actresses, and the theme.…

    Silver Linings Playbook Review

    The film focuses on disgraced former schoolteacher Pat Solitano (Bradley Cooper) as he attempts to reinvent himself using life’s silver linings. The film begins when Solitano is released from a mental institution. An homage to One Flew Over the Cuckoos Nest, Solitano is the hero of the asylum, having convinced his doctors that his bipolar disorder is well-controlled and will not lead to another violent outburst like the one which nearly killed his unfaithful wife’s lover. A hopeless romantic from the very beginning, Solitano is determined to rekindle his relationship with his disloyal wife. Though Cooper’s intensity is impressive, this plotline becomes secondary as the various other characters weave their quirks into Solitano’s life. Pat Solitano Sr. (Robert De Neiro) is not only an overly zealous Philadelphia Eagles fan, but also a gambling addict and closeted obsessive compulsive. His surreptitiousness hinders his relationship with Pat—whom he believes to be his football good luck charm—much to his dismay as a father. Pat, who is frustrated by the parallels between his own violent tendencies and his father’s behavior, pushes him away when he meets Tiffany (Jennifer Laurence,) a disturbed young widow and sister-in-law to Pat’s best friend Ronnie (Johnny Ortiz.) In obvious irony, Ronnie is perhaps the unhappiest character in the film, though he is in a stable marriage with Pat’s ex-wife’s sister Veronica…

    Dead Pool Research Paper

    According to actual definition, humor is defined by mood and state of mind. This is plausible because humor isn’t understandable unless you are conscious about the relevance. On that same note, a movie pertaining to humor needs to be careful about what it portrays. If you stick with one type of humor; there is the off-chance of losing appeal and comedic value for the vast majority. The humor induced film, DeadPool, is relatively a good comedy; but has some obvious drawbacks by only attracting those who like crude humor. Making this a comedy that only a few will enjoy.…

    " We Are Marshall" Movie Review

    The selection of film, I have chosen, is based upon my infatuation with the very intriguing storyline it offers. At first, one may believe that the storyline is nothing more than another movie concerning football. However, the storyline offers a combination of a beloved American sport, along with touching accounts of the lives of each main character, as they dealt with grief and despair independently. Most importantly, the storyline depicts the perseverance of one man who strived for perfection, even when everyone else neither believed in him nor shared his vision. “We are Marshall” correlates with the textbook as, the manner in which individuals adapt to difficult challenges vary from person to person. However, in order to achieve a true state of resiliency, one must allow the stages of grieving to be a fluid process. Finally, “We are Marshall” shows the actions of one, can lead to changes which positively impinge upon many.…

    At this point the investigation into the death of Peters first apprentice has just concluded and it is the early morning of the following day. This also follows a musical duet between Peter and his love interest Ellen as they lament the negative reputation he has around their village. The musical aspect is rather peaceful with the higher voices of the orchestra playing the melody, however there are periodic interruptions from the rest of the orchestra, perhaps hinting at the ultimate conclusion of Peter’s love and ultimate fate.…

    Movie Critique of Mean Girls

    I believe the main character in the film to be Cady Heron who is played by Lindsay Lohan and is a sixteen year old girl. She was homeschooled her entire life until now. I would place Cady in the Adolescence stage of Erikson’s theory of development. It is described that the basic conflict in this stage is identity vs. role confusion. In this stage teens need to develop a personal sense of self and personal identity. If one is able to succeed it will lead them with the ability to stay true to their self. Failure to do so leads the individual to role confusion and a weak sense of self.…

He can make you feel so sad for him although he is acting like a brat most of the time, but he makes you feel the pain he's going through with the tears and sadness always running through his eyes.…
