Alfred Hitchcocks film, pshyco, was a great thriller and advanced for the time period it was filmed in. It has just the right amount of suspence and intresting twists and turns that leave the viewer not knowing whats going to happen next. Well, except for people getting murdered. It was pretty obvious people were just going to keep dying. The music in phsyco is classic. I don’t think the movie would be the same without its sound effects and music. The way that the music changed often and went from high pitch and suspenceful to lower and eerie, made me become more interested. I liked the way the house was portrayed, always from afar, and almost always at night. The filmmakers did a good job at making the house seem a cold, lonley, crazy, eerie, place. As soon as Norman Bates came on the scene it was obvious there was something not quite right about the man. He was just, weird, a little to smiley, just, seemed like he “lost a few marbles” along the way. I think the way Hitchcock provided two possible murderers and they turned out to be the same person was really clever.

modern king kong
i really dont have that many thoughts or comments about the second king kong we watched, because i was absent for most of it. If i had to choose which King Kong i liked the most, the first version or modern version? i would deffinetly say the modern one. Its just a better made movie, has more of a plot and better actors. King kong and the dinosaurs are also a lot more awesome looking!

thought on king kong movie
Looking at king Kong from the year 2010, it looks really really old and the special effects, obviously, are way off. But, for being made in the year 1938 its pretty impressive. I think the idea of making king kong, the komodo dragon, dinosaurs and all the other jungle creatures out of clay and whatever else, was a pretty clever idea. To be honest, I think the overall storyline of the movie was kind of lame. I’ve seen parts of the modern day king kong, that ones alright I suppose. Some parts of the move were also unrealistic. Like when king kong is in New York in that theatre. How did those few men get a enormous ape on a ship, across the ocean, through NYC, and, into a theatre?... Come on now. I found some parts of the movie that were probably meant to be serious and most likely were viewed as awful back in the day, to be kind of funny. The cornyness of those scence makes it funny. If you think about it, 1938 wasn’t all that long ago. Its amazing to see how much technology and film making has advanced over the past seventy two years.

I am most looking foward to learning about all the diffrent techniques that film makers use to make movies interesting or have a certain vibe to it. Also all the little details of making a movie, like the not actually clapping thing you were talking about. Im dreading watching avatar because i've already seen it and i think its just going to be lame to watch it again. After high school im going to QVCC then transfering to...i dont know where yet... to become an ultrasound technition.
