National Lampoon's: Christmas Vacation

I enjoyed this film as a young girl and still enjoy this film as if it was my first time watching it. My favorite aspect of “The Grinch” was Carrey’s performance. I was so intrigued by how he managed to provide a jaw-droppingly humorous presentation with his over-the-top animated antics and trademark facial expressions under pounds of green makeup and knotted hair. He leaped, tumbled, taunted, and flew through the air and tunnels throughout the garbage mountain, Mount Crumpit. His unbelievable gestures left me so interested throughout the film I couldn’t take my eyes off the screen. With Carrey’s performance, he took “The Grinch” to a level of genius! The film itself had already established the lovable and cheerful community of Whoville and all it needed was a little bit of edge to take the film sky high, Carrey was it. This is the perfect film to watch with the family around the Christmas holiday as it brings out a great sense of joy. My reaction to this film was a hilarious, positive one, I constantly found myself laughing at various scenes at the Grinch’s change of voice and direction as well as the dialogue between the Whos and himself. From the very beginning I was able to understand the reasoning behind each and every character's demeanor, so the happy ending was welcoming. To me, I personally feel like there were no issues with “The Grinch”

In the Breakfast Club, there are many cognitive advancements that are conveyed. The biggest cognitive advancements that takes place throughout the film are abstract thought, hypothetical thought and multidimensional thought.

Heroes have fascinated the masses for years; this is displayed in comic books, movies, and myths that trail back farther than five thousand Before Common Era. The question that goes through all minds at some point, however, is what makes a hero? Joseph Campbell wrote his theory of "The Hero’s Journey" in which he describes the path the hero will tread and the trials and tribulations ahead of them. That is not to say that there are not multiple ways to go about a hero tale, there are various kinds of heroes, which all change the story. There are tragic heroes, classic heroes, epic heroes, and more. In the film The Nightmare Before Christmas, Jack Skellington fits Campbell’s archetype of the Hero’s Journey tragically, as he enters the

The producer, René Clair, made many important changes throughout the movie, one major change stood out, the mood. He incorporated the lighter mood with a variety of comedic and tacky scenes, with characters chasing each other, peeking through keyholes, and childish music, which left the audience happy and laughing at each of the characters. With a little romantic touch, it developed two characters to stand out and feel sympathetic for them. But with each joke, the characters make the

The film adaptation of “A Christmas Memory” does very little that differs from the original piece by Truman Capote; however, the film takes the heart of the original, and adds even more through the main characters’ casting and memory-like direction. On the other hand, this move is far from faultless and features some questionable decisions that take away from the movie’s greatness. Even with its faults, “A Christmas Memory” is still a decent movie that would be a treat to any fan of the original work, but those who are unfamiliar with Capote’s work would find very little interest in the story or the characters within.

JM: Yes, the film does include a few heavy moments without humor. I’m talking about the girl-on-girl rape scene. I wanted to refresh the genre conventions and bring a few evil human characters into the story. I also wanted to see if audiences could adapt to big atmosphere changes between the black comedy and horror conventions. So, I really experimented here as a writer/director.
