It seems like every year – right about this time – I’m using the same old line: Cate Blanchett is the best actress on the planet. Such a proclamation isn’t uncommon when you include Blanchett in that statement, either. In fact, that line is likely used so often that its gotten to the point where you don’t even need to waste time making a case for anyone else. Yeah, she’s that spectacular. However, her roles aren’t always as spicy as the talent she possesses. Truth be told, her smug, albeit
need Harvey(Troy Garity) an amateur stunt guy and love to be lit on fire, after all of the screw-ups, he surprisingly saves the day in the end. All that is needed now is a cute girl for the boys to fall in love with. Well here she comes, as Kate (Cate Blanchett) comes cashing into the scene quite literally, she hits Terry with her car, so slightly insane she starts her career in being their “full-time hostage” for the movie. As the twisted love triangle goes on so do the robberies. All in all this movie
ate Grenville’s best selling 2005 book The Secret River, directed by Neil Armfield and adapted by Andrew Bovell, is a shocking, scandalous – not to mention thrilling - insight into the historic events of the settling of Australia. This ambitious new play teaches us the truth behind what really happened between the two groups the ‘Dharug’s’ and the white settlers and by the use of Aboriginal dialect we are placed in the perspective of one white man, leaving the theatre in a deafening silence.

In 2014, one of my preferred best picture contenders was “The Grand Budapest Hotel” from Wes Anderson. It was my introduction to his work, and I was excited and intrigued to see more from him after that viewing. I returned to the Wes Anderson well by watching 2004’s “The Life Aquatic with Steve Zissou,” often considered one of his lesser efforts. While definitely less enjoyable than “The Grand Budapest Hotel,” it is not a dud. This film focuses on the titular oceanographer/documentarian (Bill Murray)
Elizabeth: The Golden Age is a historical film about the reign of Elizabeth I during the Renaissance Era. It is a sequel to the film Elizabeth and is directed by Shekhar Kapur.

good-looking villain could now be argued to be a stereotype (Walter Lippmann 1922). Other stereotypes that can be applied as effective identifiers of who the hero and villain are the clothes they were. With the Lady Galadriel and Hela, both played by Cate Blanchett in their movie adaptations, they wear white and black, representing their purity or their darkness and corruption. Another representation that they also have is what they wear on their heads. Lady Galadriel wears an elegant crown, that is curved

Indiana is always a, treasure-hunting, idealistic, thrill-seeking, impulsive, highly adaptive, adventurous man.

There are many artists in the world of cinematography, one, Peter Jackson, stands out the most. He brought the world of Middle Earth to life in his films through two series, The Lord of the Rings trilogy and The Hobbit trilogy. They are his greatest works. Both were done masterfully, inspired by the famous author J. R. R. Tolkien’s books. The Most recent one, The Hobbit, told the backstory of Bilbo Baggins and the discovery of the ring of power. Yet, The Hobbit, while masterfully done, simply cannot
Many forms of media, television, films, and literature, contain genres and over time these genres gain certain principles and tropes that become linked to them. However, some films, such as Todd Haynes’s film, Carol (2015), challenges a major aspect that audiences associate with the romantic drama genre. Not only does this movie features a romance between two women, it proves a (slightly) ambiguous ending on whether this movie ends happily. Still, when considering the other major aspects found in
Few cultural or economic monopolies even come close to rivaling Hollywood’s stranglehold upon the world film industry. As a result, virtually every major Hollywood production that finds its way to audiences – be they in New York, London, Sydney, Shanghai, or Irvine, California – has a certain indelible Americanness to it. It will inevitably be labeled American, but truly, what makes a movie American, as opposed to American-British, American-Australian, American-Chinese, or some other combination
From the moment a person is born and often earlier, that person is categorized by their gender and will spend the rest of their life facing the questions of identity and appropriate behavior respective to their gender. Diana Kendall defines gender as “the culturally and socially constructed differences between females and males found in the meanings, beliefs, and practices associated with “femininity” and “masculinity” (Kendall 303), and socialization as “the lifelong process of social interaction
In the 2014 article "Let's bring warmth to the homeless", the writer shifts between a relaxed tone to urge Melbournians to create a community where the homeless are not 'invisible', to a serious tone to assert the rising issue of homelessness.
