80.______ A Bewitched "Bewitched" is a painfully
embarrassing remake of the classic TV sitcom that ran on ABC from 1964-1972. The
series, about a "mixed" marriage between a high-flying sorceress and an
earthbound mortal, boasts some of the most familiar and iconic images in
television history. Writer Nora Ephron has over-thought the
concept to such an extent that she has managed to strip away most of the
elements that made the series work in the fast place. The movie isn’t
technically a "remake" of "Bewitched" since the witch played by Nicole Kidman
isn’t the Samantha Stevens of the series but rather a single woman named Isabel
Bigelow who gets to play Samantha Stephens on TV. It’s all very chic and
complicated, you see, but the story goes something like this. tired of the life
of instant gratification that witchcraft so easily affords her, Isabel has
decided to strike out on her own as a totally self-reliant mortal, moving into a
tract home in the San Fernando Valley and vowing to get through the remainder of
her days without the benefit of witchcraft. One afternoon while at a bookstore,
she is spotted by one Jack Wyatt, a pompous, self-centered movie actor whose
career and personal life have both been in the tank of late and who is hoping to
at least jumpstart the former by taking on the role of Darrin Stevens in a new
version of the old series. One glimpse of Isabel’s nose-twitching ability
convinces him that this non-actress would be perfect for the part, so we wind
up, in true Pirandellian fashion, with a fictional TV witch being played by an
honest-to-God real life witch. B Saving
Private Ryan World War II was a pivotal event of the 20th
century and a defining moment for America and the world. It shifted the borders
of the globe. It forever changed those who lived through it, and shaped
generations to come. It has been called "the last great war".
Nothing could have prepared the soldiers at Omaha Beach for the battle
they are about to wage. Filled with hope and resolve, none of them knows if they
will survive the small strip of beach ahead of them. As his eyes scan the
Normandy coast, Captain John Miller (TOM HANKS) believes that getting himself
and his men past the gauntlet is the greatest challenge he has faced in the war.
But his most difficult task still lies ahead. Even as the
allied forces begin to get a foothold at Omaha, Miller is ordered to take his
squad behind enemy lines on a dangerous mission to find and retrieve one man:
Private James Ryan (MATT DAMON). The youngest of four brothers, Ryan is the last
survivor, the other three having all been killed in action within days of one
another. As the squad pushes deeper into enemy territory,
Captain Miller’s men find themselves questioning their orders. Why is one man
worth risking eight.., why is the life of this private worth more than their
own Amid the chaos and terror of those days in early June
1944, this remarkable story searches to find decency in the sheer madness of
war. C Team America: World Police
Team America: World Police is such a great movie. This movie pokes fun of
every political view, major film makers, and even other countries. Look at the
title of the movie, Team America: World Police. This definitely sounds like
America, the big brother to the world, whether people want it to be or not.
The opening scene of this movie is in Paris, France. On the
bottom of the screen, it says how many miles east of the US France is, this
really plays into American ethnocentrism. Then a little boy running around in a
sailor outfit sees a terrorist with a weapon of mass destruction. Then out of
nowhere, Team America flies in to "save the day". Once the terrorists open fire,
Team America proceeds to move in and literally destroy all of France. This part
represents the tensions between America and France. Then once they think the
terrorists are taken care of, Carson proposes to Lisa. This part is a complete
satire of how Jerry Bruckheimer films are trying to convey this political war
message, but are usually bogged down with sappy love scenes. In the next scene,
they are in Time Square. Like any typical movie, there is a lot of product
placement within these shots. There are Coco-Cola, Jell-O and Cadillac signs.
Then they move into the play "Lease" which is making fun of "Rent" and the song
they are singing is "Everyone has AIDS". Then Spotsworth tells Gary he wants him
to join Team America, but Gary thinks that he wants him to suck him off. I guess
this is what happens in Hollywood today. Once back at the base, Gary meets
everyone on the Team. Joe who is the all American. Then there is Sarah who is
clairvoyant. Then there is Lisa and Chris. Then Gary learns about Intelligence,
the world’s smartest computer. After Gary decides to leave, he takes a detour to
the Capital. During this scene this country song starts playing. It talks about
how freedom isn’t free, and how it costs a buck five. D Godfather The Godfather is one of the
few films in which I personally did not find any significant weakness even after
many viewings. From the direction, to the acting, to the storyline, to the
score, The Godfather has the word classic written all over, and it really is not
much of a surprise that it is now considered by many one of the top five movies
of all time. Perhaps when it comes to cinematic techniques, The Godfather has
not been as revolutionary as Citizen Kane, but its influence on motion pictures
is comparable. Rarely a movie has defined or re-defined a genre as much as this
one did for "gangster movies", but its influence goes well beyond that.
The Godfather’s influence has been so big through the years
that elements of it can be found in virtually every "organized crime film"
nowadays; almost every comedy featuring a gangster in the last few years has
spoofed something in The Godfather. The Italian-American old mobster Don Vito
Corleone has become one of the most established figures in the public’s
imagination. But to say that The Godfather is simply
"influential" is to diminish its true qualities, and so is to describe it simply
as "a movie about gangsters". The Mafia is certainly the main focus the story
revolves around (despite the fact that the word is never mentioned), but
although the movie never tries to forcedly insert separate subjects it contains
an amount of psychological and social subtexts that cannot be overlooked.
Considerations on how the social environments changes us, on how moral values
appear different from different point of views, on how violence can destroy a
human soul, and on how power can corrupt an individual are deeply blended into a
story that stays practically always true to complete realism, and the result is
a picture of astonishing efficacy and believability.
