The film wasn't difficult to understand, it was something bigger than it really was. The film wasn't just about people, it was the backgr...

Opening Sequence: Growing up as a kid watching monster movies, like Godzilla, Mothra, and King Kong. The Japanese Godzilla had a fist to cuffs moment with King Kong VS Godzilla (1962). The film was absolutely fantastic; At least to me it was. Watching old movies, and especially the Godzilla monster battle royal. These movies were all good, yes they're all cheesy, but at least these films had what we want as monster nuts, and that is monster galore. The evolution of these particular movies did roll in the right direction; It was after King Kong Lives (1986) the film received bad r...

Thompson), Ronee Blakley (Marge Thompson), Amanda Wyss (Tina Gray), Jsu Garcia (Rod Lane), and Charles Fleischer (Dr. King). Opening Credits: Wes Craven was an amazing master of horror. From the Elm Street films to Scream (1996), Shocker (1989), all these films i mentioned were all great movies. The characters in just these films alone were all memorable on screen. They played on our fears, especially when everything is set and done these films had left a mark in our hearts. Robert England as Freddy, the dynamic Horace Pinker (Mitch Pileggi) in the Shocker film. The greatness of Neve Campbell in the Scream films. She was smart, and her quick thinking got her out of a blood shed, time, and time again. But all in all these are Wes Craven films. The whole make-up that is Elm Street is if you think of it, an ...

Opening Credits: Have you ever had a reason for things to happen and just realize that those things are mundane? Really, not joking. The event in your life was supposed to be huge, but in the end it was just another day. Those days for me are more frequent than most, especially at my age. The film i chose was Wayne's World because it reminds me of the past. The 90's was a very different time. People did things differently. The echo of the past is heard in a distance, it's what i grew up with. The movie had something to offer, but as i watch it, it almost felt humdrum. The laughter of the past i remembered, bu...

Opening Credits: The next phase to the MCU set up is here. Although sometimes the MCU set-up isn't what we might expect, but with that being said Marvel does a really good job with Easter eggs throughout the film, and within. The only real problem here is us, finding the time to take apart the film and tell the audience the whole breakdo...
