What movies is this i know it was an older film?
I don't know about the basketball one, but the movie about the warden's daughter (who is white btw) getting pregnant and holding the baby (who is black) up next to all the inmates sounds like a scene from the movie "Life" with Eddie Murphy and Martin Lawrence. Here is the link to the wiki page on it... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Life_(film)
Sophia Loren film question?
What was the name of this older movie? Sophia Loren was coming into America but customs wouldn't allow her in because she wanted to bring this huge salami and bringing in meat was forbidden. She wound up eating it all herself. I remember watching this but can't find it in any of her lists of films? Does anybody remember this one? It was not The Fortunate Pilgrim. I think this was a comedy.
Question about the old Sixth sense film?
We all know the movie is old but this s the first time i watched it, why didn't Dr.Malcom figured out earlier that he's already dead? in the entire movie he doesn't know that he's already dead but just by talking to someone and no one talks to him back aside from the kid with the sixth sense would make him wonder why right?
How do they convert an old film into High Definition?
I was watching Stanley Kubrick's 2001: A Space Odyssey last night on my cousin's Blu-Ray. OMG the Stargate was the prettiest HD thing I have ever seen. How did the recoverists do that? It's like they added detail that didn't even exist.
Modern movie vs. Old movies?
My opinion is newer movies are remakes of the old ones. Sure, the special effects are cool; but that's not the whole thing. With all the 70-80's remakes coming out; I was stoked at first, but saw all my great shows splashed around with little no foundation from what we used to watch. For example, GI Joe was completely different from what we knew during the times. It wasn't US; it was very serious; the back stories were completely different from what we grew up with; and the storyline was used from a GI Joe comic book in 2001. Nothing original. Times have changed. The problem is Hollywood hasn't; and is still dealing the same stuff we were watching as a kid. There's new stories out there with all the new situations and they haven't been tapped yet. Right now, I would watch a new movie about a data entry clerk since its a new concept (well, if it wasn't that boring). To answer your question on the bottom, older movies were slower to tell the story that was supposed to be presented. Also it was a complex storyline so the audience would have to return to pick up on the sublties. Nowadays, the audiences has a shorter attention span and gets bored easily from sitting in the theater useless there's some sort of shock value (horror, nudity, violence). Hope this helps
How can I get my significant other to watch "older" movies?
Have her watch Touch of Evil with Charlton Heston and Orson Welles, and tell her the director was going for a black-and-white vibe. Lie and tell her it was made in 2007. A friend who watched it with me, and who was no fan of older black and white films to be precise, loved it. The picture is very modern and cutting edge for the time when it was made (1958). And most importantly, Orson Welles does such a wonderful job playing his role that I wanted to take a shower after watching the film. He's that good. And Mr. Heston is no slouch either. He turns in an excellent performance. And after she watches that movie, tell her that when a movie was made doesn't matter. If after 20 minutes into any film, she's totally entranced by what's going on and by the story that is unfolding, that is all that matters. Tell her to be fearless in her movie watching. If after 20 minutes, you don't like a movie, stop it and do something else, or get up and leave the room. As for other older films that I believe she'd like, check out Errol Flynn's Robin Hood, The Princess Bride, Alien (made in 1979, but still a masterpiece), and North By Northwest. I know these films are all over the place in their themes, looks, and everything else (except obviously TPB borrows heavily from Robin Hood, and there's all that swashbuckling), but I think it perfectly ridiculous to discriminate against a film because it was made before 2005. Oh, have her watch Rain Man. That's another fantastic film. The story and also the visuals and cinematography of that picture are fantastic. One subtext of that film visually is a love letter to America's natural beauty as seen from the cars they travel in.There are so many movies I still want to see that there simply isn't enough time to discriminate against all the amazing stuff released before 2005. Tell her to get to watching pronto!
What is the best -old movies vs new movies?
Not a simple question, whereas Movies work on several levels simultaneously. Movies should be evaluated on Craftsmanship, Artistry, Storytelling, Cultural Relevance and Perennial Virtue. Arguably technology has improved the Craftsmanship of creating illusions on the screen, but technology cannot and has not improved the Artistry of Screenwriting. Some movies are stuck in the era of their creation and do not transcend value beyond it. Whereas this question is a worthy premise for a text book I will summarize with this: if the visual spectacle is the attraction modern films are fairly unmatched. But it is the older films when they had to do more with less that had more daring of content and deeper exploration of the Human Condition. Pick your movies like a vacation-today it’s volcanoes-tomorrow caves-perhaps oceans, tomorrow.
How old for a PG movie?
How old do you have to be to see a PG movie without parental supervision? My reason for asking this question is that a group of my friends and I want to see a PG movie, but some of the friends aren't 13 yet. Do you have to be 13 to see a PG movie by yourself, or do you still have to have a parent with you is all I want to know.
