To change up my paper in an attempt towards making it more interesting for me, I decided to write my paper on a film that I’ve never seen. I will write what I think it will be like, and then when I’m done, I’ll say what my general thoughts are and what other people think of it as well. It will literally be my immediate reaction to watching the film.
To pick what film I was going to write about, I scrolled through Netflix with my boyfriend. I thought to myself that it would be better to find a movie with him that we both equally thought was interesting. The first few movies I stopped on were movies like
The Boy in the Striped Pajamas or
Remember Me
, but neither of those appealed to my boyfriend and me at the same time. The first movie we could both agree on, though, was
Snowpiercer
. It was newly released onto Netflix but the movie came out in 2013.
Something about the plot being about what’s left of humanity always gets to us. To me, it sounds apocalyptic which I surprisingly like even though the thought terrifies me. I’m even scared of zombie movies and yet I still watch them. Dealing with the nightmares is worth the feeling of my heart in my throat, I guess. My first impression of this movie without watching it at all, just looking at the movie cover and brief synopsis, is that it’s going to be a good movie. I’m excited, in all honesty. The star is Chris Evans, good old Captain America. I do like his acting, mind you I also like eye candy when I’m watching a film. It’s also a sci­fi & fantasy thriller

Leonard 2

which I’m really into. It’s rated almost 4.5 stars on Netflix which is just a general public rating, and I’m hoping it lives up to expectations of being a great film.
After just finishing the movie, there are questions I need to ask myself. Does it do what it intends to do? Will I want to see it again? Can it be used as a benchmark to

    Horror movies bright out the demon in everyone. Normally someone would not be rooting on a person getting sawed in half with a chainsaw or getting stabbed in the back with a knife in the shower. In Steven King’s Why We Crave Horror Movies he discusses why people love horror movies so much. Of course, some people are not a fan of horror movies. Not everyone can handle the jump scares and gore, however some people can sit and watch the massacre for hours. Horror movies supply people with an adrenaline rush and a sensation of fear while bringing out the sociopath side found within everyone.…

    Mean Girls

    The film that I chose to write about is a Paramount Pictures presentation titled Mean Girls, starring Lindsay Lohan and also featuring a handful of Saturday Night Live cast members, including Tina Fey the author of this picture. The reason behind choosing this film is because it has a unique style of introducing characters, transitioning between scenes, and various tools to help spice up the film. Being one of my personal favorites, Mean Girls is a comedy about a home schooled teenage girl who enters high school for the first time. She tries to figure herself out by where she can fit in and who she needs to become friends with.…

    Horror and thriller are a long standing favorite media type of our kind. A good scare that lingers in our minds sticks with us in ways other genres do not. The interest can span through movies and novels which both deliver results in different ways. Horrors and thrillers also affect our bodies while watching, though also differently. The reasons of why we like to be scared continue to be studied, but a few theories have emerged that are all partially accepted. Horrors and thrillers stimulate both our bodies and minds because they remain a mystery as to why we like them, they have helped us evolve, and they demand our attention.…

    Ever since I have been a little kid, I have always loved horror movies. This genre of movies interests me, because you are constantly kept on the edge of your seat. I think when you take a look at various horror films and compare them; you will notice an array of different scare tactics/methods. You will also notice many cliché ideas that a lot horror flicks have in common. I will point these ideas out in detail, when I compare The Dawn of The Dead horror flick released in 1978, with the one released in 2004; Two and a half decades later.…
