This movie is about an evil police captain who was plotting evidence at crime scenes to help prove that people are guilty. Captain Quinlan is played by Orson Welles who does a really good job at playing his character. Charlton Heston, who plays a man named Mike Vargas, is a police official for the Mexican […]

I really enjoyed this movie. It was the first movie this semester that finally felt like it was from this generation. It was really interesting watching Jack Nicholson, Danny Devito and Christopher Lloyd as young actors. Jack Nicholson did such a good job with his role in the movie. The plot was really interesting in […]

This was the first time I have seen Platoon. The story was absolutely astonishing. I can’t believe how crazy the Vietnam war must have been. Those poor soldiers who had to put up with not only fighting with the Vietnamese, they had to fight with their own fellow Americans. The circumstances that they are placed […]

This movie is about a father who would do anything to support his family. When he’s offered a job that would require him to get a bike to be able to travel to the location, he quickly did what he needed to do in order to get the job. When he loses the bike, then […]

The movies seem to keep getting better and better. I really enjoyed Humphrey Bogart’s part in this movie. He plays a heart broken American living in Casablanca. He owns an upscale night club where many French and Nazi soldiers came to relax and participate in illegal gambling. Rick seems to have no ambition or care […]

This movie is the classic of classics. Like many people, I grew up watching this film and it is still good every time. Judy Garland of course does an amazing job in acting out the little school girl Dorothy. It is a fun film that tells the story about Dorothy’s dream about a better place […]

This movie definitely made some great advances with technology and special effects. The prior films we have watched were very plain on both of those topics. With Chaplin and Keaton, the camera was usually set in front of a scene and the rest was left to the actors. In metropolis there were lots of different […]

I was surprised to find out how much I enjoyed the Charlie Chaplin films. Even without words or color the practical jokes were still very funny. With the little I know about him, he seems like he was quite the business man. To have made a million dollars in the year 1918, he had to […]

It was an interesting day watching the movies for class. I had two points that I thought about while watching. One was my reaction to the films, and the other was the reaction of the original audience that the movies were made for. I must admit my point of view was not very enthusiastic. The […]
