Robert Altman's California Split

At this time the country was making drastic changes in music, and things were progressing in which it seemed for the better. Although there was a lot of drugs and plenty of pot smoking going on at this time the world seemed to be happy and at peace excluding those

According to Reel News Daily, on average, there are 57 movies released every month or 684 movies each year. That’s way more movies than the average person watches in a given year. So, how do we decide what movies to go watch and what not to watch? What’s pleasing and what’s appalling? Fortunately, we have critics who watch most of these movies and write reviews to help narrow down what movies to and not to view. One of these critics is Robert Ebert. Robert Ebert is an honorable critic to base judgements off of because he does an exceptional job summarizing the plot, stating his personal opinions, and speaking about the actors/director’s roles in the film.

“Yee-Ha! Space Cowboy Rides to the Rescue” (New York Times), this is such a captivating title. The very first part of the title sets the tone of the review, as well as giving some insight into what the movie being reviewed is about. Our next article, “Review: Marvel’s Guardians of the Galaxy: The Expendables In Outer Space” (Time), lacks originality and seems to hint at another bland review. It is amazing how the simple choice of different wording can affect your perception on the piece, before even reading it. Judging from these two different titles, I come to the conclusion that Manohla Dargis took more of an effort with his title, whereas Richard Corliss made the conscious effort to make a comparison to another movie that his readers may, or may not, have seen.

The first review that I read was from the Internet Movie Database authored by Joseph Ziemniak, an IMDB user reviewer. The review written by Mr. Ziemniak is what I would consider a movie watchers review, not a review written by someone in a film class who is picking apart the movie based on

To conclude my series of papers written for this course, I was assigned to write a film review. I am not particularly well versed in reviewing movies; I barely even watch them, so analysis is going to be rather simple. The film I’m reviewing is a recent, lesser known film titled, “Angry Video Game Nerd: The Movie.”

Following the structural and stylistic features of an opinion column, I opened briefly with an introduction to the film’s background and then followed with my opinion on how Finding

The late Roger Ebert is perhaps the most well-regarded and influential film critic of the modern age. Ebert achieved notoriety in the world of film criticism with his review of George Romero’s Night of the Living Dead. The review was picked up by Reader’s Digest, and what followed Ebert was a substantial career in film criticism, culminating in a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame, successful

A good movie review is not only customer-orientated but also stimulates the purchase desire of potential customers. Usually, the narrator introduces a movie review. His voice led audience to explore the splendid scenes, conflicts between characters, sources behind the scenes, such as famous actors and directors, history context and sound track. Gain attention is the first objective of a movie review. A movie review involves literature interaction, “the text, the source (the author and other factors that produce the text), and the receiver (the reader and other aspects of reception).” (Mays 2330). A good critical approach plays a significant role in interpreting the elements of a movie in a couple minutes for audience’s preview. Critical approached

The author starts its movie review by giving general background of Broken Blossoms and comparing Broken Blossoms to the other 2 most remarkable movies filmed by the same director, Birth of a Nation and Intolerance. The author realizes that the scale and genre of Broken Blossoms is quite different from that of Birth of Nation and Intolerance which the former one is a short love story whereas the latter ones are epic stories and are what the director used to film. The reviewer then appreciates that there are mere 3 main characters used in the movie and such that audience could focus on the tragic interplay between those 3 which could make the story easier to follow and understand. However, at the same time, the reviewer make criticism on director’s

And now, it’s time for dessert: my critic of the movie! A fabulous story, backed up by

'Oscar Season,' so dubbed by Hollywood executives and the media covering their world, is quickly approaching. Within the illustrious group of nominees are those featured in the beautifully made 'cerebral' film, Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy. The film, which is a jewel of cinematic effort, is very much the opposite of today's often-found shallow comedies or horror films. This film, in its grasp, includes so much of that which ought to be found in the art that is cinema. For this reason, and because of the momentum the film has garnered following the leading actor's nomination for an Academy Award, many have taken to commenting on Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy. One such article is presented below and will be both summarized and discussed in order to see just how the critic world sees this film, and for what reason.

When creating a movie about Neo-Nazis living in Los Angeles, one might expect there to be violence. Indeed, American History X; directed by Tony Kaye is a film just about that subject and absolutely gives the viewers watching it an immense amount of violence. There have been critics like Peter Travers; movie critic from Rolling Stone Magazine, for instants, who have gone on to praise the film and even calling it “An explosive, scorched-earth drama.” They explain how the film was powerful and important for people to watch. Other critics, such as Ed. Jim Craddock has stated that the film “falls short of expectations.” These critics criticize the film for its lack of bravery, or not going too far to make its message come across. Nevertheless, all critics had plenty to say about the film and its content.

The article being discussed was released on August 4,2017 shortly after the release of the movie on July 28, 2017. Garber writes this text to explain the problems with the movie and later on supporting her arguments by using related examples and statistics that

The period between 1890 and 1991 saw dramatic changes. The World entered two world wars, experienced a Cold War and ended with Détente. This was the result of several turning points, which impacted international relations. The

McCarthyism, an incident that invoked a dark age upon movie writers and writers in general, teaches about how society lived in a time of fear, anger, and skepticism towards differences, just how the starring role in the movie “Trumbo” (acted by yourself), which amazed me, takes the viewers through a tour of the life of a writer affected by these negative impulses from society. “Trumbo” kept me enthralled all the way through, and my attention just couldn’t break away from it. Every element in it executed remarkably well, from the vividly enriched acting, to the heavily sharp themes, to the characters that boomed with personality, and even to the gracefully dim screenplay. There exists a sizable amount of illustrated life-lessons to love and to learn about the film not only in the movie itself, but in its themes, its acting, and its screenplay as well. This letter to you expresses my praise for your effort put into the movie’s, and thanks you for giving us such an awesome film to review in our class.
