Killers

Marriage... give it your best shot. By Cherie Powell Artistic Value This movie was amazing! It really showed the value and consequences of hiding something from your significant other for years. When they talked about their feelings they did a great job on allowing the audience to know how serious this moment was despite the fact that death and disaster was everywhere. It used the camera angles much to its advantage. When Madi was mad at Spencer and mentioned how she didnt want him in the baby's life and drove away. We get to see Spencer in the rearview mirror looking sad and was immediately regretting his actions. This gives us and understanding that even though this movie is a comedy it can be very serious at points. I give it a 8/10 when it comes to artistic value. Entertainment Value  The movie is a comedy so it was very funny inappropriate times which is amazing. They took a very serious movie and left that aspect in it but also allowed there to be comfy in the m...

Detective Pikachu

A kid’s movie for the modern era By Mark Jeffs Detective Pikachu was a pretty good movie. It was entertaining for both kids and adults, plus a pretty good plot line and moral. Detective Pikachu was very artistic. Pokemon have always been animated and cartoon like. But with Detective Pikachu, they needed more life-like Pokemon to interact with the humans in the story. They did an excellent job at making them realistic without making them absolutely terrifying. The interactions between the humans and the Pokemon were very smooth with awesome animation of the Pokemon. The main reason for Detective Pikachu is entertainment. The Pokemon were fun and loving for kids. But, it also brought back a sense of nostalgia for adults. Each Pokemon had a personality and were easy to relate to. I feel like I could watch it again and still enjoy it and it won't get too annoying to watch. Detective Pikachu had good educational value. It was the focal point, but kind of hid in the ...

Rhett and Link on Good Mythical Morning

A talk show made by man-children, for man children By: Briana Waugaman     Good Mythical Morning is a youtube morning show made by two men, Rhett and Link. They have been making these videos for the last seven years and upload videos almost daily. They built their company on entertaining there views and have come a long way from where they began. In this paper I am going to review one of there more recent episodes. It is called You’re Showering Wrong .      Entertainment Good Mythical Morning covers a lot of different topics, but the main thing that the creators want you to get out of it is humor. They use comedy in every video to make it entertaining. On this particular episode Link, who is kind of a neat freak, is telling use the right way to take a shower. Throughout the whole video there is a lot of banter between Rhett and Link which is a huge thing that draws fans to the show. They came up with this idea based on the conspiracy theories t...

Hell Or High Water

A glance at the 2016 film noir and Western lovechild by David Mackenzie Hell Or High Water by David Mackenzie is an excellent movie, using excellent talent, cinematography, setting, and storytelling to create a movie so simple, any simpleton could follow, yet still so well written into it's simplicity to allow film critics to rest easy. Preface, of course this contains spoilers for the film, though I will try to keep them minor. Anyone who hasn't seen Hell Or High Water, should. It's on Netflix, rated R, contains 1 brief sex scene that is so out of focus so as to be meaningless, but prolific violence and 34 total f-bombs and surprisingly less use of other profanity allows it to deserve it's rating. Not for everyone, but for those not scared of a little language, should absolutely sit down for it's 1 hour 42 minute run and be held rapt by Jeff Bridges , Chris Pine , Ben Foster , and Gil Birmingham run cat and mouse through dusty, beaten Texan towns, ...

Hell Or High Water (Part 2.)

A glance at the 2016 film noir and Western lovechild by David Mackenzie  Educationally, this movie sits beautifully in it's morally gray seat. Marcus is somewhat racist, and Alberto is the new kid on the block, so at the entrance of the movie you don't want to particularly love either of them, as one seems somewhat inept and the other is annoying. Tanner is a convict, a killer, and a temperamental. willing to do whatever it takes. You can appreciate his resolve, but is also simultaneously a complete sleaze, and a jerk. The only who seems to fully understand his moral standing is Toby. The Texas Rangers are the law, and but are still flawed in their investigation and their ethics. Toby, is a deeply lonely man. He has one goal. He needs to save his mother, but he's a good man with a clean record, and has no want to kill anyone. The first time someone gets shot in a robbery, Toby breaks down at Tanner, yelling and screaming at him for his idiocy, watching his moral standi...
