Silent Film

Mr. Guillory had us watch our first silent film and it was weird to say the least. I had trouble understanding the film but i think for the next silent film it will be easier for me to comprehend. It was neat to see a different approach to cinema. These type of movies are so different than regular ones. They count on the viewer being able to see the acting and hear the music and to be able to bring those two things together to understand the meaning of the story. The way people expresss themselves through film is amazing and is truly an art. I can appreciate a film that is beautiful and has a meaning over something that is just artifical.

For My Wiggle Review I will give this film 2 out of 4. It was my first silent film and i was totally into it, but i am up for seeing more of these type of films

Dont Look Now


Dont Look Now is a movie that uses many angles, and many different camera techniques. It was really neat to see all the different type of things that Cameras can do. The dissolves, zooms, cuts, and the different lighting techniques all were shown in this movie. I really enjoyed seeing this movie because it was the first one that i have seen in class that really showed all of the different types of things that movies can do. The one thing i love about this movie is the use of the color red. I love it when the color red is used because the color means so much. It can mean blood , evilness, youth, life , and death. The color red has been used in so many movies to portray death (The 6th Sense). I guess you can say that im a little weird about the color red, but i just think that it is cool to see in movies.

For my Wiggle Rating i will give this movie a 2.75 out of 4. I enjoyed the film and i would recomend Mr. Guillory to show this to all of his future classes.

Bubba Ho Tep

This move was funny and very odd. The main character was and older elvis. Elvis has to use a walker, which adds more laughs to the movie. His friend is John F. Kennedy. John is a older, black man who befriends Elvis in the nursing home. During the movie they share a few funny moments that make the movie enjoyable

Yes the movie is kind of stupid... but sometimes watching stupid humor can brighten up your night. I watched the movie just a couple hours ago because i missed it when my class watched it. I couldnt stop laughing because its so stupid, but i would watch it again because it made me laugh. Laughing to me is one of the best things in the world because it takes your mind off of the daily pressures of life. I cant even remember how many times a funny movie has made my day better, and this movie has certainly done that.

As for my Wiggle Review i will give this movie a 2.5 out of 4
