    The movie producers have wowed us with their creativity and imagination for years. The viewing public has craved the new and demanded that the movies they watch take them to new levels of thrills and the unimaginable. This is the exact reason why animation in movies is so important.

    In the early days animation was sketchy at best. The most we could have hoped for was less than realistic images of giant lizards and insects that terrorized the country side. That all changed ...
  • The Creation Of Classical Movies  By : Scott Michaels -
    Of the thousands—yes, thousands—of classical movies I have seen, a few stick in the recall room in the house of the head as if they ha taken the initiative to represent all classical movies of all time. Granted, the debate continues on what is the actual definition of the term, “classical”. Such positions hold that the term refers to all that belongs to a particular period of history, the classical era.

    Others believe classical is determined by quality, by degrees of excel...
  • How Often Do You Watch Movies?  By : Scott Michaels -
    This is a pertinent question that should be taken seriously if you want to save some cash in the entertainment department. Just think about it.

  • Science Fiction Movies  By : Kadence Buchanan -
    In recent years, science fiction movies have made a big comeback in Hollywood and I, for one, consider that a very good thing.

    I like to be surprised when I go to the movies. I like to see things that I've never seen before and I like to be confronted by virtual realities that I did not even think possible. That's why science fiction movies are my cup of tea.

    They traditionally cover a wide range of subjects and themes, including several that are uniquely their own. Tod...

  • A Star Is Found  By : Janet Hirshenson and Jane Jenkins with Rachel Kranz
    Casting is a part of filmmaking that most people never think about -- but once you become aware of it, you might be startled at how central these decisions are to your experience of a film. Just recall Hollywood's casting legends -- Casablanca, for example. The studio's first choice for the role of Rick was George Raft, then a major leading man. Only when Raft wasn't available did the studio grudgingly accept minor contract player Humphrey Bogart, known mainly for playing gangsters in a slew of second-rate crime films.

  • Will “LOST” Ever Be Found?  By : Groshan Fabiola
    The rumors of its demise sadly over-calculated, LOST has settled into ratings numbers that secures it in the company of the best dramas on television. Had LOST managed to hold onto the 23million-plus it had in the beginning of its second series, I doubt ABC would be able to afford to produce it at this point.

  • Casino Royale Review – The Believable Bond  By : Sacha Tarkovsky
    The new James Bond film, Casino Royale, staring Daniel Craig, is by far the best James Bond film ever made. The best?

    Not necessarily in terms of special effects, spectacular climax scenes at the end of the film, or even action segments. It is the best, as it’s most believable, both in terms of the character himself, and the story.
