Cinema Paradisco

He was thinking about leaving. Like when
Alfrado told Toto to leave and never come back.

This picture is like Toto when he is older because he chances afterthat girl and in this picture it shows how desperate some guys are for a women.

This picture shows how he wants to leave and is timid to do so because he hasn't left yet. But he will leave and get out of this jail.


The pop one shows how you don't always get what you want. In the movie Toto doesn't want to leave town but he does because Alfrado told him to and he really looks up to him as a father. In the picture it shows you don't always get what you want, but in the end you will get what you get and live.

The Graduate

Reality, does it follow movies, or does it re-inact them? For alot of people it is a re-enactment of the there lives. Many people have gone threw things that Benjim went threw in the movie. Getting people to admit that they did it is a totally different story in itself. Life has many obstacles and awkward times. If you choose top make them more awkward life will become crazy. Which is the case in the movie The Graduate. In the movie the graduate a young man named Benjim Braddock gets seduced by one of his parents friends, Mrs. Robenson. Mrs. Robenson is 44 at the time and Benjim is 21. She trys and gets him alone at her home but under his better judgement he decides to stay out of that situation. Then a few days later he decides that he can not stay away from Mrs. Robenson's moves any longer. They arranged to meet at the Taft hotel and have a drink, both knowing what was going to happen later that night. Sure en ought what everyone thought was going to happen did happen. They start meeting there more often and have more and more relations.
After some time Ben decides he doesn't want to meet with her anymore but starts seeing her daughter. He takes her doughtier out on a date and they have a rather good time. Then the daughter comes home one day when Ben and the mom are together in the room and Ben tells the daughter, Eliane that he has been seeing her mom. Then she tells her dad and they get a divorce.
Later in the movie Ben trys to get Eliane back. He goes to her college and fallowed her around because he is obsessed with her. Once he gets her to talk to him, he tells her how much he likes her and he gets interrupted by her boyfriend. They leave been. He finds out that her and her boyfriend are getting married. Ben does not want that to happen so he shows up at the wedding and causes all sorts off trouble. He steals her away from her Boyfriend/Husband.
There is another movie that they made some years later to go on after the graduate, it is called Rumor Has It. In Rumor has it Eliane has a daughter. Elaine has passed away. So her daughter is unsure about everything. Her daughter decides that she will look into see if she may have a different father. She discovers that her mom ran away the day of her wedding and went to Mexico with a man named Ben Bradook. She trackers down Ben and discovers that he is not her father. Ben starts to use his moves and seduces her, making it the 3rd generation of women in the family to sleep with him.
The director of the graduate is Mike Nichols.
Benjamin Braddock-Dustin Hoffman
Mr. Robinson -Murray Hamilton
Mrs. Robinson-Anne Bancroft
Elaine- Katharine Ross
My favorite quote from the movie was " Mrs. Robinson, are you trying to seduce me." I like that quote because without that quote the movie would not be the way it is.
I think that the movie The Graduate was a very good movie and i gave it a 4 out of 5 on my scale. If you ever want to watch a movie that will make you feel awkward around your parents then this is the movie for you.

Physico

BANG! you look around to make sure that no one noticed that you jumped. After you realize that what is there is not going to hurt you you slowly come out from under your blankets.
Horror movies, ain't they just the best genera for movies. They are the only type of movie that can make you paranoid of everything, and i mean every single little thing. I once watched a movie where a little Teddy bear killed people and ever seance them i check my Teddy bears to make sure that they are safe. One of the more recent horror movies that i have seen is the movie Psycho, Directed by Alfred Hitchcock. If i were to rank this movie on a scale of one to 10, 10 being the best of the best and one being a fall asleep during the opening credits i would give psycho a 8. I rated it this because for the time period it was created in they did a really good Job.
Some of the main actors are Anthony Perkins as Norman Bates, Janet Leigh as Marion Crane, Martin Balsam as Detective Milton Arbogast, John Gavin as Sam Loomis,and Vera Miles as Lila Crane. I thought that the acting of this movie was OK. I don't think it was the best acting of the time but it was defiantly better than some of the acting i have seen.
The movie is about a women who steals $40,00 from her work and goes to a motel. At the motel she meets the motel owner and he finds her attractive. Later that night the girl got stabed to death in the shower. Meanwhile, her sister and her lover were looking for hear because they herd that she had stolen all that money. They went to the same motel that she had been in when she was murdered. They look around and see evidence that she has been there. They go to the owner and while the man is asking the owner questions the women sneaks up to the owners house and discovers that the owner has his mothers corps in the basement. turns out that he has had her corps ever seance he dug it up after the funeral. He had been pretending that he was his A quote i remember is said by Norman Bates and it says "Mother, please...!" I think that this is a memorable quote because it showers how he really was messed up in the head.
Over all i thought this movie was a good movie to watch and to see how other moves learned and used this movie as a learning thing . I enjoyed watching this movie and i know if you enjoy watching horror movies that you will really enjoy this movie.

Citizen Kane

Citizen Kane is now one of my favorite movies. I liked the movie so much because it leads people on so much to a big conclusion and they find out that it is only a sled. Most of the people who watched this movie with us in our class were really disapointed supprised and dissaponted with the conclusion. I think that is what makes it the critics choice for being one of the top movies. I will tell you about what i rated this movie, who the qactors are and why i liked it.
after watching this movie i would give it a 5 out of five on my scale. My scale it one to 5, 5 being the bes, 1 being horrable. I gave it this becasue i really liked the way they made the movie flow, and how they made the whole movie out of something so simple.
The Diretor of this movie was Orson Welles. The main actor in this movie was Orson Welles playing the part of Charlie Kane, Dorothy Comingore playing the part of Susan Alexander Kane, Joseph Cotten playing the part of Jedediah Leland, and George Coulouris playing the part of Walter Parks Thatcher. The genre of this movie is Dramatic.
The Main story line is that Charlie Kane, a billionare, dies and they are trying to find out who gets his money. They were trying to figure out if Rosebud had anything to do with his fortune, Rosebut was his last word. The whole movie is based around a reporter going around and asking all the people close to him if they new anything about Rosebud. Then the movie does flash backs to the times that they tell the reporter about. The movie, in my eyes has a very differanty out come then i thought it was going to have.
I liked this movie alot, not only becasue it kept me intertainded the whole movie, but becasue it has alot differant ending then other movies of our time do. I would highly sugest to watch this movie if you already havent, it is now one of my top movies, and if you watch it, i am sure it will be yours to.

Gone With The Wind

Have you ever wondered what the gratest movie ever is, well I have and I was on a serch through out the school to find the best movie ever. I looked in the math department, I looked in the science department, nothing. Finaly i decided that I would come and serch around in Mrs. Wiesermathews room. I found it, the number 1 rated movie of all times. The movie was called " Gone With The Wind." In this blog I will be telling you what i gave this movie as a rating, what genre it is and the main actors.

My rating scale is a 1 to 5. One being a horrable movie, and 5 being the most amazing movie ever. I am going to give gone with the wind a 4. For its time and with the technology they had at that time this movie was amazing. The only reason i didnt give it a 5 was because i didnt like the story line so much, it didnt keep me interested. The genre was Action, war, and drama. A few of my favorit quotes are from Rhett Butler. The first quote is "Im very drunk and I intend on getting still drunker before this evening's over." I like this quote because it kept me glued to the movie becasue this is something that they would say in a movie that was released now-a-days. Another good quote by Rhett was "Take a good look my dear. It's an historic moment you can tell your grandchildren about — how you watched the Old South fall one night." I like this quote because it is almost a history lesson and I like movies that teach you something while rntertaining me.


Some of the main actors are Scarlett O'Hara, played by Vivien Leigh. Ashley Wilkes played by Leslie Howard. Rhett Butler played by Clark Gable. Ellen O'Hara, played by Barbara O'Neil. I believe that all those actors were really outstanding. They all played there part pefect and were able to relate with the way the character was portrayed. They The Direstor's are Victor Fleming George Cukor Sam Wood. I got the actors and quotes from wikipedia.com.
Gone with the Wind is a movie that will always be one of the best movies ever. Not only because it is one of the first color movies, but because it is a really good movie and keeps the watchers glued to it. For the time period that this movie was created it is amazing. Gone with the wind is an amazing movie and will always be considerd one of the most amazing movies.
