films

Films (many times used intercheangably with the term movies) by popular definition are feature length — an hour or longer -- pieces which can be watched in a theatre or at home on DVD, Blu-ray or some other format for enjoyment and/or educational purposes; however, shorts — or films under an hour — while not as popular amongst the general public should also be included under the header "films."  Technically speaking, however, films are strips of pictures that run in front of light in order to give the impression of moving images to tell a story.

The term "films" tends to be a popular one on the internet, showing up alongside the term "review" or "movie review" as reviewing films (or movies) is a very popular pastime within the blogosphere.  Most people have an opinion about the movies they watch, and consequently it is natural that people would write about it on their blogs.  However, "films," might also show up as a tag for blog posts about the physical film used to make some movies or for film development techniques.

The term "film" may be more popular than "movie" because it tends to have a more academic connotation.  The term also shows up quite frequently in conjunction with foreign and independent movies.  Literally, however, movie is not intercheangable with film as "movie" doesn't require any sort of actual physical film to be used.

  Inside Pulse Movies — Authority: 145
  The sci-fi slasher flick Hardware comes on like some mad nightmarish version of Short Circuit . A crude, squat robot becomes sentient and mayhem ensues. Only in this case, the mayhem is of the blood and guts variety as the M.A.R.K. 13 – not Johnny 5 – comes alive and slices through anyone he can get his hands ...

  I have a confession to make: I get bored of my music very very quickly. Then again, part of it may be due to the fact that I’m listening to it constantly no matter where I go. As a result, every month or so, I try to find new music (which I define as music I haven’t heard before) and luckily this month, I got some ...

  In September 1972, Roxy Music appeared on prime time TV in the UK. It was their first national TV exposure, a three-minute appearance performing their first single.
