Movie Day

CONGRATULATIONS!

Ok, firstly, *phewf* just want to say congratulations on completing this subject everyone =]


We have reached the end of the semester, and you little monsters have now sucked out all the necessary brain juice from Dr Dray to watch movies differently from all your friends.

I hope that by now - either on your first date with a girl, or just chilling with your 'homies' or 'pals' - when your out at the cinema and you finish watching a movie, the person you go with will probably say:

"Man, this movie sucked. I didn't get it."

But YOU will step in and say:"I disagree! The director uses alot of slow-motion technique in his film to emphasise his themes. The director also used quite alot of long takes, ECU's, and even a high-angle shot at the end, so it has quite a range of cinematography. The mise-en-scene could of been better, but overall, the film has deep meaning, it even has.........*blahblahblah*"

And the person you went to watch the movie with, their face will be like 0___O And they will think to themselves "Oh my god.. I like this movie now.."

See.. You will do well on your first date, and will be looked up to as a God next time you go watch a movie.


Now, like I promised, to end our time studying film and cinema, we should all go out as a group to watch a film together. So here is my proposal -

1. The Losers
Director: Sylvain White (Stomp The Yard, etc)
Genre: Action/Adventure
Date: Sunday 13th 12:20PM / Monday 14th 12:20Pm

2. Shrek (3D) Forever After
Company: Dreamworks (Shark Tale, Madagascar, Kung Fu Panda, etc)
Genre: Animation
Date: Mon 14th June (anytime before 5pm)

3. Grown Ups
Director: Dennis Dugan (Zohan, Chuck & Larry, etc)
Genre: Comedy
Release: Thurs 24th June

Ok so please vote for any of these movies... These are the movies coming out this month. If you want to watch another movie that is coming out this month, let me know. Otherwise, if all of you don't want to watch these and rather WAIT till a *cool* movie comes out, then let me know... But it's better if we watch a film soon like next week, before you guys forget about Dr Dray. *Sniff Sniff*. =P

Ok so please comment and choose which movie we should go see!

Dr Dray

I feel confused about the Harvard, APA or Chicago (II) styles.what is the styles exact mean?Also,about the cover sheet. what imformation must write on it and should we make it more interesting?

Remember the Titans

This movie is about a newly appointed African American football coach over the highly successful white coach to coach the team where the school is not racially integrated. The idea of an African American coaching the team was not accepted even though he was equally as successful as the other coach.

Tensions arise when players of different races are forced together on the same football team. This film is based on a true story and takes place in the USA. Even though this film is based on a true story not all scenes are actually true but i still really like this film and have watched it a few times. Some of the characters are not real but are fictional.

The message that this film projects is a strong one and like "Do The Right Thing" acceptance and racism are themes in both films but that's all i think they have in common.

At the start the African Americans didn't want to play in the same team as the white guys and vice versa.

After a two week training camp which brought the guys together they returned to find that the community was in turmoil due to the forced desegregation of the high school. As the season progresses the team's success caused the community to accept the changes.

The shawshank redemption

I believe most of you guys have seen this before, but I still want to recommend this, I have to say I really really really love this film!!!!!!

At the beginning, the director create a atmosphere like andy is doing some bad thing, so that the audience will get confused about the things happen later, and if you watch this movie, you have to focus on every detail, because any of the detail would be the explain of the ending, and I really like the end of this movie, it's just sooooooo cool!

This film is kind like "prson break", but not like the some theme of this kind movies, what show on this movie is not only "break", but also, the friendship, and the spirit of insist. After watch this, you will be inspired and feel the warm of this world. nothing is impossible, as long as you try to do it.

QUESTION ABOUT FINAL ESSAY ~

I get confused about the movie effects.
What exactly "special effects" is??
Like... include what ?

I absolutely love this movie its so hilarious. Its about one of the characters Doug and he is going to get married so he takes his 2 friends Stu and phil and his soon to be brother in-law Alan who is the main reason why this movie is so good.

They have a big night out and cant find the groom Doug and latter find out that Alan gave them drugs on the night. They then find out the things that they got up to on the night and attempt to find Doug.

This is probably my favorite quotes of all time (im only saying this off the top of my head but still)
Alan: "You guys might not know this, but I consider myself a bit of a loner. I tend to think of myself as a one-man wolf pack. But when my sister brought Doug home, I knew he was one of my own. And my wolf pack... it grew by one. So there... there were two of us in the wolf pack... I was alone first in the pack, and then Doug joined in later. And six months ago, when Doug introduced me to you guys, I thought, "Wait a second, could it be?" And now I know for sure, I just added two more guys to my wolf pack. Four of us wolves, running around the desert together, in Las Vegas, looking for strippers and cocaine."

Paul Blart Mall Cop

I love this film it’s so funny. It’s about a man who man who works as a security guard in a shopping center. His name is Paul Blart. I’m pretty sure it’s called a segway throughout the film there pretty cool.

For years, he has applied to become a cop, but he always fails the physical exam because he is overweight. He gets bashed by a fat lady at some point........just though i should randomly put this in there.

On the busiest shopping day of the year and the mall is seized by a tightly organized crew of thieves, and customers are ordered outside, but Blart is playing free video games and doesn't notice.

He knows his way around the mall very well which is his advantage and his daughter and the girl he likes are one of the hostages so he is left to save the day.

I don’t think many reviewers like this movie but Roger Ebert gave it 3 stars.

If anyone has seen this, my favourite part is what he does when he is at the bar and gets drunk hahahahahaha

The cove

This is a documentary, in my opinion, documentary are always kind of boring, but this one is the first documentary I finished watching.

It talks about a place in Japan named Taiji, billion dolphins were killed here every year. At the beginning of this movie, the director use black and white to show how people kill dolphins, even thought it's black and white, you can still see how rude the killer are.

Then the movie show how the lead go to this place, and use their own strenth to shoot the process of how people kill dolphins. The process they try to set everything ready is very difficult and dangerous, and they use some music which tempo is very fast to make audience feel nervous, like we are one of their member, and at last, when you see the red lake which is dyed by the blood of the dolphins, you just can stop crying.

This is a huge film because it connected to many big countries and many famous people, we can imagine what effect this movie will cause if it show to this world, but it does, and lucky, the result is good. when you see rechard o'berry rush in the IWC meeting and show the film they shoot to the people there, you just feel great!
