A Bewitched
"Bewitched" is a painfully embarrassing remake of the classic TV sitcom that ran on ABC from 1964-1972. The series, about a "mixed" marriage between a high-flying sorceress and an earthbound mortal, boasts some of the most familiar and iconic images in television history.
Writer Nora Ephron has over-thought the concept to such an extent that she has managed to strip away most of the elements that made the series work in the fast place. The movie isn’t technically a "remake" of "Bewitched" since the witch played by Nicole Kidman isn’t the Samantha Stevens of the series but rather a single woman named Isabel Bigelow who gets to play Samantha Stephens on TV. It’s all very chic and complicated, you see, but the story goes something like this. tired of the life of instant gratification that witchcraft so easily affords her, Isabel has decided to strike out on her own as a totally self-reliant mortal, moving into a tract home in the San Fernando Valley and vowing to get through the remainder of her days without the benefit of witchcraft. One afternoon while at a bookstore, she is spotted by one Jack Wyatt, a pompous, self-centered movie actor whose career and personal life have both been in the tank of late and who is hoping to at least jumpstart the former by taking on the role of Darrin Stevens in a new version of the old series. One glimpse of Isabel’s nose-twitching ability convinces him that this non-actress would be perfect for the part, so we wind up, in true Pirandellian fashion, with a fictional TV witch being played by an honest-to-God real life witch.
B Saving Private Ryan
World War II was a pivotal event of the 20th century and a defining moment for America and the world. It shifted the borders of the globe. It forever changed those who lived through it, and shaped generations to come. It has been called "the last great war".
Nothing could have prepared the soldiers at Omaha Beach for the battle they are about to wage. Filled with hope and resolve, none of them knows if they will survive the small strip of beach ahead of them. As his eyes scan the Normandy coast, Captain John Miller (TOM HANKS) believes that getting himself and his men past the gauntlet is the greatest challenge he has faced in the war. But his most difficult task still lies ahead.
Even as the allied forces begin to get a foothold at Omaha, Miller is ordered to take his squad behind enemy lines on a dangerous mission to find and retrieve one man: Private James Ryan (MATT DAMON). The youngest of four brothers, Ryan is the last survivor, the other three having all been killed in action within days of one another.
As the squad pushes deeper into enemy territory, Captain Miller’s men find themselves questioning their orders. Why is one man worth risking eight.., why is the life of this private worth more than their own?
Amid the chaos and terror of those days in early June 1944, this remarkable story searches to find decency in the sheer madness of war.
C Team America: World Police
Team America: World Police is such a great movie. This movie pokes fun of every political view, major film makers, and even other countries. Look at the title of the movie, Team America: World Police. This definitely sounds like America, the big brother to the world, whether people want it to be or not.
The opening scene of this movie is in Paris, France. On the bottom of the screen, it says how many miles east of the US France is, this really plays into American ethnocentrism. Then a little boy running around in a sailor outfit sees a terrorist with a weapon of mass destruction. Then out of nowhere, Team America flies in to "save the day". Once the terrorists open fire, Team America proceeds to move in and literally destroy all of France. This part represents the tensions between America and France. Then once they think the terrorists are taken care of, Carson proposes to Lisa. This part is a complete satire of how Jerry Bruckheimer films are trying to convey this political war message, but are usually bogged down with sappy love scenes. In the next scene, they are in Time Square. Like any typical movie, there is a lot of product placement within these shots. There are Coco-Cola, Jell-O and Cadillac signs. Then they move into the play "Lease" which is making fun of "Rent" and the song they are singing is "Everyone has AIDS". Then Spotsworth tells Gary he wants him to join Team America, but Gary thinks that he wants him to suck him off. I guess this is what happens in Hollywood today. Once back at the base, Gary meets everyone on the Team. Joe who is the all American. Then there is Sarah who is clairvoyant. Then there is Lisa and Chris. Then Gary learns about Intelligence, the world’s smartest computer. After Gary decides to leave, he takes a detour to the Capital. During this scene this country song starts playing. It talks about how freedom isn’t free, and how it costs a buck five.
D Godfather
The Godfather is one of the few films in which I personally did not find any significant weakness even after many viewings. From the direction, to the acting, to the storyline, to the score, The Godfather has the word classic written all over, and it really is not much of a surprise that it is now considered by many one of the top five movies of all time. Perhaps when it comes to cinematic techniques, The Godfather has not been as revolutionary as Citizen Kane, but its influence on motion pictures is comparable. Rarely a movie has defined or re-defined a genre as much as this one did for "gangster movies", but its influence goes well beyond that.
The Godfather’s influence has been so big through the years that elements of it can be found in virtually every "organized crime film" nowadays; almost every comedy featuring a gangster in the last few years has spoofed something in The Godfather. The Italian-American old mobster Don Vito Corleone has become one of the most established figures in the public’s imagination.
But to say that The Godfather is simply "influential" is to diminish its true qualities, and so is to describe it simply as "a movie about gangsters". The Mafia is certainly the main focus the story revolves around (despite the fact that the word is never mentioned), but although the movie never tries to forcedly insert separate subjects it contains an amount of psychological and social subtexts that cannot be overlooked. Considerations on how the social environments changes us, on how moral values appear different from different point of views, on how violence can destroy a human soul, and on how power can corrupt an individual are deeply blended into a story that stays practically always true to complete realism, and the result is a picture of astonishing efficacy and believability.
