Eternal sunshine of the spotless mind
The Uninvited (2009)
Genre: Horror, Drama,Thriller
Director: Charles Guard , Thomas Guard
Screenwritters: Craig Rosenberg, Doug Miro, Carlo Bernard
Starring: Emily Browning, Elizabeth Banks
I do not recommend this movie my first reason would be it was a dumb movie to begin with. It's suppose to be a horror movie. The movie didn't make me jump even once. I know horror movies are pointless and dumb but atleast they made me jump and get a little bit scare. Unlike this one. My second reason would be because I hated the facted that everything got revealed in the end. I think it would of been way better if it would of revealed little by little.
Why would they use a Drama genre with a Horror genre? Would it made a difference if they use a different genre other than Drama or Thriller?
Would the movie been better if it had different actors? or a different director? and if so why?
Ghost World
Year: 2001
Genre: Comedy, Drama
Director: Terry Zwigoff
Screenwriter: Daniel Clowes
Starring: Thora Birch, Scarlett Johansson, Steve Buscemi
Two reasons I would recommend this film are 1) it is engaging, hilarious, and at the same time portrays an in-depth and realistic study of it's characters. And 2) the main character Enid (Thora Birch) is highly relate-able as a young person who has just graduated from high school and has no idea what to do with her life and her new found independence.
Two questions:
This movie is based on a comic created by Daniel Clowes, who is also the screenwriter for the film. Do you think films based on books are generally better when the original author has a prominent role in the production of the movie?
This movie was also one of Scarlett Johansson's first starring roles before she became an A-list celebrity. Do you think good actors have always been good actors or does their actoring get better over time and with more experience? What are some examples of this?

Genre: Crime, Drama, Thriller
Director & Writer: Quentin Tarantino

Joe Cabot, a small-time crime boss, gets five strangers with reputations as good thieves to steal a lot diamonds. When the police arrive at the scene before the burglars can even make their getaway, it becomes apparent that one of them is an undercover police officer.
This flick is great for people who like unique dialogue and an interesting plot that keeps the viewer watching. With likable characters all around it really ties the whole feel of the film together. From the conversation in the diner in the beginning to the cringing slicing of the ear of a hostage cop, this movie is guarrented to keep the viewer entertained to the twist of an ending.
i give this movie ***1/2 stars
people say Quentin Tarantino has a certain style of making movies, does he stay true his norm?
Quentin Tarantino won the 1992 Sitges - Catalonian International Film Festival best director award, did he deserve it?

Mall Cop
Genre: Action/Comedy/Crime/Family
Director: Steve Carr
Screenwriter: Kevin James & Nick Bakay
Starring: Kevin James & Keir O'Donnell
1) A good reason why i think some of my classmates might want to see this movie could be because, this movie has alot of funny parts, he's a cool actor, and i think they'll enjoy it.
2) A reason why maybe they'll wont see this movie is that, I think it needed some more inspiration, and maybe a little bit more of a story to it also. A better plot. Maybe?
*Do you think Paul Bart, also starring on the T.V. show the King of Queens, could be as good in a mall cop movie?
*What other opinions do you have on the actor Kevin James?

- The movie was horrible. It coulda have been better. It says dat its as terrifying as 'the ring'
but honestly the ring was WAYY more scary and had a more better storyline behind it.
so um...from a scale 1 - 5 for The Uninvited ; i'd pretty much say 3. - A.V.
The Reader
Genre: Romance
Director: Stephen Daldry (The Hours, Billy Elliot)
Screenwriter: David Hare (The Hours, Damage)
Starring: Kate Winslet and Ralph Fiennes
Two Reasons Why You Should See It: 1) It's a romance movie that takes place in the past and isn't boring because it switches back and forth between 1995, the 1950s, and the 1960s. 2) Kate Winslet is one of the best actresses of her generation, playing a character that very believably was both once a Nazi prison guard and an incredibly loving girlfriend to the film's main character, Michael.
Two Questions: 1) Have you ever seen a World War II movie that focuses on what happened after the war instead of what happened during it? 2) Kate Winslet won her first Golden Globe for this role. Did she deserve it for another earlier movie in her career?
