Ghostbusters Movie Analysis
I think the only reason the new “Ghostbusters” movie is upsetting people is because they are not being open-minded. I personally think it doesn’t matter if the cast consists of women or men. Many people are upset because of women being the main characters and I don't think of this as a problem because all of the content is similar, but the cast has changed. A good amount of people were expecting a revamped movie from a century ago, but with the female cast, people instantly dropped their expectations, but in my opinion, the comedy and jokes are what people watch for and I thought it was pretty good. Everybody has their own opinion, but a female cast is nothing to fuss about.

    Clint Eastwood’s critical, box office and Academy Awards juggernaut tells the tale of Chris Kyle (Bradley Cooper), a prolific, er, American sniper, and his endeavours on and off the battlefield during the Iraq war. It’s a heavily lethargic adaptation of a heavily controversial book about a heavily divisive ‘American Hero’. Not to say that the flick itself is wildly patriotic – though the ending tries its best to disprove that – but nor is it an anti-war film, as director Eastwood haplessly attempts to argue. Which is where American Sniper’s greatest fault, among many faults, lies; it’s a film that is too afraid to carry any political heft, any commentary that would make the viewing experience worthwhile. As a result, the whole point of the film is rendered null.…

    It came from my cousin Charles who said the Goonies was one of his favorite childhood movies. After all the research I did and questions I asked I can say without a doubt that this movie is the greatest movie I have ever seen. How else can he say something like that? The fact is that he must not have had a good imagination as a kid. I cant explain what "it" is but when you sit back and experience a movie with "it", it will be forever instilled in your memory. Just look at some of the classic films of that decade. The Goonies is true art for our time. Watching it again almost brought tears to his eyes as he was drawn frame after frame of the drama and suspense. Its such…

    Alien Movie Analysis

    • 461 Words
    • 2 Pages

    How about we begin by addressing the elephant in the room: Ridley Scott has been in a slump for the past decade or more. In 1979 he redefined the space film with Alien, in 1982 he crafted his gritty science fiction masterwork Blade Runner, and in 2000 he won the Academy Award for Best Picture with Gladiator. Obviously, a stunning repertoire, but what has he directed since then? Mediocre film after mediocre film. Whether it be Kingdom of Heaven, Robin Hood, Prometheus, or The Counselor, Scott has been far from par for as long as I can remember. And Hollywood being a "what have you done for me lately" type of town, you can understand the misgivings I had when I bought my ticket to see his latest effort. Much to my extremely pleasant surprise, The Martian is Ridley's return…

    The new "Ghostbusters" movie was released on the 15th of July and along with the movie's release came the release of the soundtrack. On the soundtrack is the song Girls Talk Boys by 5 Seconds of Summer. If you are not a fan of the band, I recommend that you still listen to the song. It is very different than their typical sound and the song has a funky, retro kind of vibe to it. Even the vocals are not of the typical pop rock style. There is more of a groove to the entire song that I would actually compare to DNCE. If you are into the band, you will appreciate and his ever-present bass guitar. The bass and electric in this song give it a sound unlike what is prominent in today's music and I think this song is such a bop. Give it a listen and…

    The Graduate is a comedy-drama based in the 1960’s, which follows the story of a struggling college graduate who is seduced by an older woman and ends up falling in love with her daughter. Directed by Mike Nichols, The Graduate ‘captured the spirit of the times’. The 1960’s marked a change in film scoring, instead of the well-established orchestral ‘Hollywood sound’ the industry demanded a more modern approach thus marked integration of popular music. Nichols approached Simon and Garfunkel a raising folk-rock duo to contribute to the composition of the score. Simon was hesitant at first been quite underwhelmed by the book, ‘I didn't like anything about the film at first…. I was only impressed with Mike Nichols who asked us to do it’. Convinced…

    District 9 Movie Analysis

    • 1383 Words
    • 6 Pages

    District 9 (Peter Jackson, 2009), a science fiction film produced by Peter Jackson, is a rare gem unlike the many sci-fi movies which have been released in our time. The story is established via a mix of standard third person camera and documentary footage and takes place in the present - a twist from your regular science fiction film which normally takes place in the future. The film, about a colony of alien refugees forced by humans to live in a South African slum, is an example of social satire by presenting a critique of the injustice with which we treat those who are different from us. The metaphors of science fiction are being used to portray the nature of racism; with the way that racist ideology and discourse deals with those different from us whom we fear or despise.…
