Movie Review : The Single Blockbuster Hits

On February 26th, 2017 I watched the Neil Young “Heart of Gold” concert with my dad. It was a DVD recording containing 20 tracks of his live performance. We watched the concert in our home theatre room through a sound system that captured the quality of the concert.

In America, the average consumers who are active moviegoers will go to a theater and see the next sequel to a movie that has media convergence for example The Fast and the Furious franchise that is well known in America from 2001 of the first movie to now with its latest production. The media convergence of the franchise should have its own clothing brand, spin off show, more characters added, and more racing scenes because it will improve the gross of ticket sales that the consumers would love to see out of the movie. Having this convergence of media for the consumer can increase the ticket sales for this movie and get more consumers to see it who have not already seen this production. It is not too late to have this franchise do more of media

“Hollywood usually ends up swallowing people and eating them alive”, are some of the beginning words in the National Geographic docu-series Drugs Inc... The documentary is rightly names “Hollywood high” because of its raw footage. This film is a chilling depiction of drugs and Hollywood. Its uncut material shows the reality of how drugs can affect people of every walk of life. A person doesn’t have to be rich or poor to become drug dependent. The film goes on to say how “fame hungry wannabes” and the “panhandling homeless” are two of the main populations to be affected by Hollywood’s thriving drug trade. Some of the other populations affected by Hollywood’s thriving drug trade are those who want to “stay up” and “be thin”. This film is not only about the populations affected by the thriving Hollywood drug trade but also the drug dealers and doctors who provide the drugs to that population.

Motion pictures are a key driver of the market for entertainment products, one of the largest export markets in US. Motion picture industry consists of three stages: studio production, distribution, and exhibition. The studios produce the lifeblood of the industry, the films that are its content. The biggest players at this level are the majors, big studios which integrate production and distribution, as do the slightly smaller mini-majors. The next stage is distribution. Distributors are the intermediaries between the studios and exhibitors. Distribution entails all steps following a film’s artistic completion including marketing, logistics, and administration. Distributors coordinate the manufacture and distribution of

Comedy is also relatively short compared to other genre of movies. These two genres found to be the most popular movie genres than the other categories.

Hollywood has become synonymous to great cinema, be it American or an international equivalent, it always comes back to a Hollywood comparison. Classical Hollywood style exhibits clarity, unity, goal-orientated characters, and closure, while most other elements are set aside to further progress the cumulative buildup of narrative. Often referred to as the “invisible style,” because it relies on this “unobtrusive craftsmanship,” classic Hollywood practices ensure viewers will be completely immersed in a film without focusing on the literal separation between the screen and the audience. However, with as much importance creativity is placed upon the film industry, profit is also a huge factor in the filmmaking practice. There are certain genres

Two men meet alone in a dusty town, facing off in one final gunfight or there is a line of cavalry men on horses waiting for the Indians to crest the hill that faces them. These are two visions of the Western film that has long been a staple of this genre. There are those that see the Western differently and their interpretation is just as intense or thought provoking, even comical. Unforgiven directed and starring Clint Eastwood and Blazing Saddles directed by Mel Brooks are two such films that took the Western to another level and envisioned the wild west in a new light. Their versions still held onto the some of the true Western themes and revered the scenic visions of the frontier and the mystery of the immense landscape while changing the view of how a Western film should be filmed. Both directors reexamine the typical Western characters, reenvisioned the role of violence, while still celebrating the beauty of Western frontier.

Joss Whedon does not have an origin as dramatic as some comic book heroes, but his story is almost as unbelievable in filmmaking today: a transformation from a typecast fan favorite to the writer and director of some of the most successful movies of all time. He began his career as a lesser-known—but undeniably talented—sitcom writer in 1988, but his fame in Hollywood really began when Marvel sought him out in 2010 to write and direct The Avengers. Whedon’s varied experience in the movie industry, unique skill set, and passions for writing and creating made him the perfect fit for the project; and they have helped him become one of the most admired screenwriters of the 21st century. He knows the creative process that works best for him when writing, and he used this same process when writing the script for The Avengers. He believes that writing from a director’s point of view, being a willing and able collaborator, and finding balance in characters will lead to a great film. Applying these constants to his writing process for The Avengers, Whedon created a coherent and compelling story that balances the characters’ heroism with their humanity.

It can very difficult to make a good sequel to a recent blockbuster movie. How likely is it that lightning will strike twice, not very. Creating an all new epsiodic event for you already established characters can be daungting and redundant. These icons have proven themselves to be heoroes in the viewers eyes and writers have to raise the bar even further to coerce moviegoers to part with their entertainment bucks.

Zachary “Zack” Snyder is an American film director known best for his action and Sci-Fi films. With only one original film, most of Snyder’s films are derived from comics and graphic and fantasy novels focusing on the tragic hero. Some common trademarks in his films include, highly saturated color schemes; the use of slow motion and fast motion during high intensity action scenes; and use of zooming in and out during fight scenes instead of jump cuts to create fluidity. All of these visual techniques can be seen in Snyder’s movies 300, Watchmen, and Sucker Punch.

One of the most iconic movies from the 80’s is Top Gun. From the thrilling flight scenes to Tom Cruise 's winning smile, the movie was, and remains, a hit. Maverick, played by Tom Cruise, is sent to an elite naval flight school with his best friend Goose. Both men must undergo training in an extremely competitive environment. to become the best pilots in the academy. They face many challenges and loss along the way. Throughout the movie Top Gun, the hyper-masculine environment of flight school allows for there to be a much more fluid relationship between homosexuality and homosociality. Unlike in everyday occurrences, where romantic exchanges between men are considered gay, the exchanges between the characters in the movie are often considered completely normal. Though not every scene in the movie portrays this accepting, modern perception of homosocial relations. The movie often contradicts itself by also displaying hypermasculine scenes. This contradiction illustrates how there 's not only multiple perceptions of masculine behavior but also a conflict in society about the proper way for men to act while together.

The movie I have chosen for my movie review paper is Schindler 's List. The film was directed and co-produced by Steven Spielberg. The movie is American made but was filmed in Poland. I chose this movie because I am interested in history and World War 2. The setting of the movie takes place primarily in Krakow, Poland during World War 2 (1939-1945). Poland was under German occupation at the time. The setting of the film shows us the Holocaust and the mistreatment of the Jews. This makes it of historical importance in understanding its social stratification value. It became especially emotional for Steven Spielberg because he is also Jewish and his family has direct ties to the Holocaust. The social stratification concepts I chose to select are social differentiation, social inequality, and the stratification systems. Specifically the slave and social class systems. Social Stratification is defined as “A form of inequality in which categories of people are systematically ranked in a hierarchy on the basis of their access to scare but valued resources.” (Thompson, Hickey 199). Concepts of social stratification revolve around inequality, differential treatment, and unequal access to wealth, power, and prestige. The plot of the movie revolves around these concepts with the differential treatment of the Jews by the Nazi Germans. This is what makes these stratification concepts sociologically important. The plot shows how the Jews were stripped of their wealth, power, and
