M


I thought this movie was pretty interesting..both good and bad. I did not like the subtitles and listening to the German language being spoken. The setting was not very interesting so it wasn't such an eye catcher. I thought the character they choose to be the killer fit very well. He almost looks like a kid himself so it makes his look even more creepy..the way he walked and wistled scared me a little because if i saw a man like that i would probably be a little concerned. This movie was pretty slow moving..nothing exciting ever happen throughout after the girl got kidnapped so it didn't really hold your attention throughout. But i was always curious to find out what was going to happen in the end or to the kidnapper. Overall it was pretty boring, but not the worst one we have watched!

Do The Right Thing


I think this movie is one of the most appropraite movies for highschools to watch compared to the rest because it really got a lot of people talking. I thought the characters were very interesting to watch and it was pretty funny. I think Spike Lee did a good job using meaningful scenes, and the topic of racism was important. I really likes how the colors of the movie, using warm and bright colors, also cought the eye of the audience..made it a little more entertaining. The main conflict of the movie is that Sal's Pizzeria doesn't have any pictures up of black people in the wall..this causes a lot of drama throughout the film. This is also what causes Radia Raheem to die.Overall I think this movie was one of the better ones that we have watched because it teaches people and is entertaining.




The Battle Of Algiers


First of all, i hate subtitles..and black and white movies, so that made it pretty bad to begin with. But, I still kind of thought this movie was a little bit interesting. I thought some of the hand-help camera action drew in the audiance so it made us feel some what involved. A lot of the movie was kind of depressing and boring as well. The parts with no sound were made the boringness of it stand out a lot, but in a way it made you think something bad was going to happen so it made you wonder. But overall i would not suggest this movie to anyone else..somewhat interesting but not enough to see it and who likes subtitles?

Monento


I thought this movie was pretty confusing. I did not like how it was played backwards because I thought it made it a lot more confusing then it already was. I know the idea was maybe to make it a little more interesting and fun to watch, but I like it more the traditional way. It is confusing to whether or not Teddy is bad..there are parts like when Lenny remembered that his wife had diabetes, and that may leave people to think that Teddy is lying. I also feel that Teddy takes advantage of Lenny's memory issues. But there are other times when you think maybe he is right, like when it flashed from Lenny and Sammy. Also, the poloroid that Teddy has, where Lenny is pointing to his chest with the tatooes, smiling. That shows that maybe he did kill John G, so he really would be telling the truth.
