Double Indemnity.

I dont agree with either Sam or Adam. I think that the movie was bad, the characters were inconsistent. See when the main character knew the girl was going to murder his husband, he said he was not going to help her, but later he changed his mind. Through out the movie not ever did the guy show signs of total evil it was only in the ending. The girl, well I don't she ever loved him, not in the beginning or in the end.

Method Acting Project

We want to use handheld videocamera.

It will be an indoor project.

Method Acting

Method acting are techniques in which actors try to create a realistic acting in the movie, by really falling into character.

Favorite actor.

My favorite actor is Matt Damon.

He is just too good of an actor, but I don't ever see him get that much praise in the industry in my opinion. I also like all of his films especially Green Zone. What makes him a good actor is that he falls into character spectacularly.

Screwball comedy

Screwball comedy is a genre of comedy that is unconventional, goes in different directions, and behaves in different ways. 2 of the movies come from Columbia Pictures, but one is from Warner Bros.

For the MPAA

I agree with the MPAA, some movies just can't be released especially the sexually related movies. Violence is part of America so I guess it's normal for us Americans, but viewed differently in other countries. No matter how they rate movies there is always going to be controversies.

Hollywood Censorship

Hays Code is the set of industry censorship guidelines that governed the production of the majority of United States motion pictures. One rule of the censorship was that nakedness and suggestive dances were prohibited. Hollywood had to follow these rules because they did not want to lower the moral standards for those who see the films. Movies today have changed a lot, like in some movies they ridicule religion, and some movies show excessive nudity, and some scenes almost seem like porn (New Friday the 13th).

Buster Keaton V.S. Charlie Chaplin.... FIGHT!!

Charlie Chaplin and Buster Keaton are both comedians, but they are different in many ways. Unlike Keaton he does not use as much stunts, also Chaplin usually gets in trouble accidentally, but Keaton usually finds it on purpose.
