film reviews

Films are motion pictures, commonly known as movies. Films have been entertaining the public since the late 1800's when the camera, which evolved later into the motion picture camera was invented.

We first had the silent movies that started in the 1920's and were shot in black and white. Then came the 1930's, which was referred to as the Golden Age of Hollywood because it was then that sound was discovered, giving birth to the Talkies and many of the major movie studios that we know of today.

Since the Golden Age of Hollywood, movies and films have encapsulated and enticed our hearts and minds. From decade to decade, filmmaking and storytelling techniques have improved, thereby giving rise to better, bolder and MORE films through the years. With the multitude of films available everyday, comes a necessity for film reviews in order for the movie-goer to pick the right film for him/her.

Films are reviewed regularly by critics, thereby giving the public some suggestions of what films they should queue up to watch at the cinema, what films they should wait to view till they are on DVD and what movies should be avoided altogether!

• Room 237

  
  — Authority:
  A rare look at the mysterious and at times confusing world of The Shining. Since 1980 it has both amazed and dumbfounded audiences around the world.

  — Authority:
  Rating: 2 out of 5 stars The Great Gatsby is a film so uneven and bizarre that it’s hard to know where to begin reviewing it. Baz Luhrmann’s newest  is not the full blown literature-destroying mess that many (myself included) feared it might be; still, it isn’t very good. Here is a film that we don’t know ...

  Theres a sense of weighty historical context with Henri-Georges Clouzots LAssassin Habite Au 21 ( The Murderer Lives At 21 ), which its execution doesnt always seem to justify.
