Poltergeist II: The Other Side

In relation to several critical writings on the analysis of religion, the film Holy Ghost People by Peter Adair is aligned intricately into such discussions. Emile Durkheim states in The Elementary Forms of Religious Life that “religion is a natural expression of society” (Durkheim). Through Adair’s directorial decision to keep his own narration to a minimum, the audience is able to observe a personal account of a Pentecostal church community in a way that seems less studied and more like a natural expression of the church members. Durkheim also states that “when I approach the study of primitive religions, it is with the certainty that they are grounded in and express the real” (Durkheim). As Durkheim points out, if these people truly believe they are being possessed by the holy ghost, then they are experiencing it and it is therefore real to them. Adair allows the audience to experience the presentation of the possessions without any additional narration, and so these sections seem more like a natural part of this religious group as a whole to frequently believe in and experience possessions.

Both authors describe the devil similarly. When first encountered, they portray him described as a mostly normal person, with only a subtle clue to his

The novel and the movie were both very suspenseful. The main characters are both the same in the book and in the movie but are a little bit different then their counter partners in the novel/movie. In both the movie and

Now just to put this out there, yes! Of course there's going to be a lot of changes between movies from the past 59 years. They both have some ups and downs though. One good change between them I would say is the battle in the galleys. In the 1957 version, they showed mostly rowing inside the galleys. While in the 2016 version, it actually shows the battles that's going on outside the ship. It showed a lot more action than the original. One thing I did not like that was changed was certain events were taken out. In the 2016 version, they get rid of a large portion of the story of him saving the captain of the ship and was adopted after 3 years saving him as they did in the 1957 version. Instead they literally kill off the captain of the ship. Which also makes me want to talk about the characters between the two movies.

The Alienist is a crime novel by Caleb Carr first published in 1994. It takes place in New York City in 1896, and includes appearances by many famous figures of New York society in that era, including Theodore Roosevelt and J. P. Morgan. The sequel to the novel is The Angel of Darkness.[1] The story follows Roosevelt, then New York City police commissioner, and Dr. Laszlo Kreizler, as their investigative team attempts to solve gruesome murders through new methods including fingerprinting and psychology. The first murder victim investigated is a 13-year-old immigrant who has had his eyes removed, his genitals removed and stuffed in his mouth, and other injuries. The investigators deal with various interest groups that wish to maintain the status quo regarding the poor immigrant population in New York City.

Forgive me, i am the worst kind of horror movie enthusiast- I see a trailer on television for an upcoming release and i can't help but get giddy and declare "I want to see that!" without having any idea aside from the trailers; which are often misleading- what the movie is about. Thats my biggest problem as a movie viewer, critic, and person- in the case of 2011's Straw Dogs, this also led to a level of embarrassment on a first date, but we will get into that later. Unlike most people in the industry i like the idea of remakes- I actually believe they do more good then harm for a movie, because a second attempt can often allow a story to live up to its full potential.

The sequel was even better than the first. Evaluating it as a fantastic medical drama, bringing trauma and delight to the ever changing plot, never fails to thrill the reader through a roller coaster ride of suspense (Ufowriter, Amazon.com). But without a doubt his Alex Cross series is his best work. He creates a world that keeps building upon itself with each book. With each book the characters develop again and again. Enemies from past books will resurface to terrorize Alex once more. Old enemies will rise again and some main characters will die. He has even said that “I’m much heavier into the telling of the story and a little less careful with the writing of good sentences.� (Author & Artists, page 212) The series has changed the way an action/mystery novel is written today.

No one could compare to Bill Murray’s portrayal of a slightly crazy groundskeeper, who exhaustive quest to capture the groundhog was hilarious. They added too many new characters and definitely too many comedians to the mix for this sequel. You know what the say, too many cooks ruin the stew, this couldn’t be more evident in the actors who were tripping over each other ‘s lines in order to get a laugh. They need to stick have stuck to the physical comedy of the first movie and not relied so heavily on what they obviously considered big name attractions.

The techniques used are Photography, Camera angles, Music and sound effects, Narrative, Language, Tone and Structure.

As I looked over both Time and Rolling Stone magazines, I realized how different they are. Rolling Stone seems to have an edgier, more colorful scheme, while the Time has a harder, simplicity style. Rolling Stone is more focused on entertainment, pop culture, and the music industry. Along those lines, the magazine talks more so about celebrity news/gossip. The groups that I suspect to be reading Rolling Stone are younger, middle level income, a mixture of both female and males, and possibly more single individuals compared to Time.

In the movie of The Conjuring, in certain instances it foreshadows a witch which is considered as a dark presence. This movie poster is effective in introducing or raising awareness of the way is being presented by telling the readers that this film is based on a true story and by showing readers that it will have a mysterious person in search. In the movie, there is a new family of seven, five daughters and their pet dog that moves into an unfrequented farmhouse which took place in the '70s. Strange things have been happening to the house as well with the family, they call investigators to look at the house to find out why weird things have been happening. The reason for the dark presence, appearance in the house is because someone had hung themselves at the house so unfortunately the house is haunted without the new family members being aware of it. The poster for the movie The Conjuring foreshadows a mysterious dark presence not seen by everyone through the specific placement of the shadow, the color scheme, composition and spatial order.
