The movie M I felt was really interesting. It was about a child murderer, who wasn’t able to be tracked down as the numbers of missing children started to build, the more panicky the town got. Fingers were being pointed in every direction and innocent people were getting the blame. Mothers had to go along their business in fear for their own child. Soon the criminal community gets involved and murders are chasing a murder. I was bored at the beginning, but from the meeting scene on the movie really grasped my attention. I thought it was humorous how they made the cops and the criminals look so much alike when they were shooting the meeting scene. Of course the cops did seem more organized in their plan on finding the murder, though that didn’t matter the criminals still got the job done. Everything in the film was so ridiculous from the eye witnessing being a blind man to the criminals being able to outsmart the cops and catch the child murder first. The ending was fantastic I thought the off scene shot was brilliant I found that it drew me more to the film because you had to figure out who off scene was causing that expression on the characters face. What the mothers had to say was so powerful, that it didn’t matter what you did with the child murder at the end, it still wouldn’t bring their beautiful children back, and that line is very true. I think especially during the time that M was made the director was trying to send out a warning. To be careful and look after your child, cause they can be so easily manipulated with their innocents that anyone can distract a child from safety and cause harm to them.

I glad that were going to watch the movie i nominated "Good Will Hunting" its such a fantastic movie with some many amazing actors. Ben Athlac, Matt Damon, Robert Williams...and many more. It truly touches you and makes you feel lucky for the opportunities that you have. It shows how there is incredible intelligence in everyone even if your dirt poor. All the characters of the movie have such great sense of humors and I love all the accents though out the whole movie. I hope you guys enjoy watching this film as much as i have every time.

Two thumbs done, Did not enjoy

The movie Rushmore had very dry humor I thought it was horrible. The main character was a creeper and if he were acting the same way to me as he was to that teacher I would call the cops on him. The movie never once caught my attention. The only scene I found funny was when he fell over the boxes. I felt as if the movie was dragged out and anticlimactic. I rated this movie with a 1 cause it was so boring. There also were no good looking people in the movie, which was very disappointing.

I tried to figure out the symbolic moral background as to why we were watching this certain film. But I was left clueless. The only thing that I found of an importance to the whole movie was that he was horrible in his academics but he contributed so much to his school and community. I would not want to watch this film again. This film was made just to make money and I did not like it BOO!

V for vendetta was an interesting film. I think British movies are so much more different just because I feel a British audience would find certain clips more humorous and interesting then a New York viewer would. This film had a lot of violence that basically made the whole movie. The violence at times was a bit too much for my taste. I favored how he used knives instead of guns to fight with. I think it showed how it separated him from his fighter because no body else in the film fought with knives. The violence attracted the audience’s attention; I found that the plot was confusing at times too. Me as a viewer never truly found depth to the background of the main character, which would have been more interesting to the plot of the film.

I give this film 3.5 as a rating I over all liked the movie but wouldn’t pick it as my first choice to watch again. I like the actress in this film I seen her in many other films that I enjoyed. I give the main character pity for basing his whole life on revenge when if he just let go of the hate he had against the British government he could have lived happy with the girl he saved in the beginning of the film. I think it was pretty interesting how he made her completely fearless from dying even though it was a cruel way of doing it.

Elephant was a very emotional movie I really found it interesting how the film was shot at random times, and how the film was shooting the same scene but from different points of view. I like how no matter how pretty and happy certain characters appeared they all had their own problems. The film got me think about how you have to be grateful and enjoy the present time because you never know what might happen when you least expect it. I found this film scary in a way, because I get a safe feeling when I’m at school, and to watch a school have a massacre like that one, it scares me because that could happen at any school.

I liked how the actors used there real names in the movie it gave it more reality, and I think the characters in the movie were also true to reality. I found myself matching the characters in the movie up to people in my own school. Yes the whole following the characters while they walked for long periods of time did bore me, but it captured how lonely the characters were, when we watched them walk through the empty space by themselves. I think this movie was very powerful and moving.

At the end of the film Elephant, when the shootings were starting to come to an end, and people were escaping the school. We our introduced to a new character of the film, he was an African American boy and his name was Benny. Many people in the class found him disappointing to the film because he was so anticlimactic. We did follow him around for a good 5 minutes and I was expecting him to save the day and steal the gun away from the kid who was about to shoot the principle. But surprisingly all that happened was he was shot just like everybody else who got in the two boys path.

I thought Benny’s character was very powerful, he did not save anyone but he attempted too. Maybe the director wanted him to be seen as the angel in the movie as the hero who was suppose to end the chaos, and the twist was there can’t be any heroes in this movie, that this is such a horrible situation that happened that there is no hope and faith that could put an end to such horrible chaos. That was the climax of his character that it’s suppose to take the faith of good triumphing over evil away from the watcher.

I haven't seen any old fashion movie and I especially haven't seen any old western movies before, so this was a new experience. The movie High Noon was at first very boring. I didn't care for the plot and I just wanted the train to come in already so the movie could finally reach its climax. I couldn’t stand waiting anymore for it. Though I was surprised how no body in the whole town was going to help the main character fight against the cowboys. I thought oldie movies dealt with showing loyalty and good morals in people. Yes the main character had very good morals. He did stand for what he thought was right even if he was standing alone throughout the entire film. He also didn't run from his fears and play it safe he handled them head on and obviously won cause he was the good guy in the story. I was starting to get annoyed by all the towns people, this man risked his life to help the town stay safe and sleep without fear at night, and not one of them one stand by his side when he needed their help back, such cowards. I enjoyed watching the classic good guy with his wife riding out of the sunset scene at the last clip of the film.

This is the cover from the film North by Northwest. This is the famous scene where Roger O. Thornhill is stranded at the bus stop in the middle of open fields. From the shot Hitchcock shows it looks like fields of emptiness, he is waiting to meet the unseen George Kaplan, when out of nowhere a plane swoops down and begins attacking him by raining bullets and poison upon him.

The movie "Spirited Away" is a fascinating anime film directed by the creative Hayao Miyazaki and co-director Kirk Wise. This film captures bravery, and love for the young. It has the classic story baseline "Home, Away, Home." The plot is about a young girl moving to a new neighborhood, though when her parents take a wrong turn down the road they unknowingly become lost in a spirit world that is inescapable until she proves her bravery to all. You are introduced to so many characters that you wouldn’t see in American films. I feel as if Japanese films have so much meaning behind the story that you can truly learn so much from the character by the end of the film. When I first saw the movie in theaters I was in middle school, and I thought it was horrible because I never seen a movie with this type of animation. I was very confused and uninterested. Then I watched it in my Art of Film class and loved it. I was more open-minded to the Japanese version and I was completely drawn to the story line. I found the way they shot certain scenes were more exciting from when I saw the film as a kid. I was finally able to understand the morals of the story.

I just recently watched the classic movie called North By Northwest (1959), written by Ernest Lehman and directed by the well know Alfred Hitchcock. This film is an amazing story that posses thrill for the innocent man becoming spy. Not only does it leave you on the edge of your chair it. It also leaves you warm hearted for the romance behind the plot. The main plot of this film is about a selfish Roger O. Thornhill working in the department of executive advertisement. Little does he know the life-changing situation he is about to step into in the beginning of the movie. He is easily mistaken for a CIA agent George Kaplan who is being hunted down by a group of spies. Later in the film he is introduced to the gorgeous femme fatal Eve Kendall, their relationship becomes more in depth by the ending of the film. The rating of this film is three in half stars. To get three and a half stars at this time was extremely hard. films were rated at a higher standards. In the late 1950's movies were more moving and symbolic, movies at this era weren't made to just make a quick buck. This shows how fantastic this movie actually is.
