[Plan 9 From Outer Space] and [Ed Wood] movie reviews

"PLAN 9 FROM OUTER SPACE" in large red letters adorns a beam from a night sky containing spacecraft and warplanes. The foreground has the head of a man in a bubble-headed red spacesuit, a caped vampire attacking a victim, a seductive vampiress and gravediggers at work. Above the title is "UNSPEAKABLE HORRORS FROM OUTER SPACE PARALYZE THE LIVING AND RESURRECT THE DEAD!"; below are "BELA LUGOSI", "VAMPIRA" and "LYLE TALBOT".

   "Plan 9 From Outer Space"  is a science fiction film written and directed by Edward D. Wood, Jr. The film features Gregory Walcott, Mona McKinnon, Tor Johnson and Maila "Vampira" Nurmi. The film bills Bela Lugosi as a star, although silent footage of the actor had been shot by Ed Wood for other, unfinished projects just before Lugosi's death in 1956. This film was created in july 22, 1959. This film is about how aliens come and try to stop the humans from creating a doomsday device that will end all life on Earth. The aliens create zombies to get the humains attention and end up causing chaos. This film was also titled "The worst movie ever made" as well as Ed Wood winning an award called "the worst director ever".

   "Ed Wood" is an American comedy-drama biopic directed and produced by Tim Burton, and starring Johnny Depp as cult filmmaker Edward D. Wood, Jr. It was created in 1994. The film concerns the period in Wood's life when he made his best-known films as well as his relationship with actor Bela Lugosi, played by Martin Landau. Sarah Jessica Parker, Patricia Arquette, Jeffrey Jones, Lisa Marie Smith, and Bill Murray are among the supporting cast. It was mainly about how Ed Wood became a director and how he made the worst movie off all time, "Plan 9 From Outer Space".

   First of all, Even though Plan 9 was the worst movie of all time, it was so bad that it was funny and an accual good movie to watch! Secondly, Ed Wood was a great and interesting movie to watch, with learning about his life and how he created that horible but funny movie. Also Bill Murray is an awesome actor. I loved how these two movies connected and how they were made, they were accualy two amazing movies! The only negative thing I have to say about Plan 9 is that it was poorley made but it was still funny! I recomend these movies to everybody who has not seen it! Over all these were great films and i have to rate them both together a 67 out of 84 drum sticks.

The Count of Monte Cristo resemblance 1934 and 2002

  

   This film was originaly directed by Rowland V. Lee and produced by Edward Small and then brang back to life by director Kevin Reynolds and producers Gary Barber, Roger Birnbaum and Jonathan Glickman. This is an amazing film about how Edmond Dantez is sent to jail for exchanging a letter to the army of an enemy. When he escapes, his goal is to take the three evil betreyers down with his trickery. These two movies are very identical  with their stories but also have great differences with them. The graphics are very differnt as well as the props, actors, equipment and background. They are all enhanced greatly. In the 2002 edition, there is so many different action scenes that creat suspence and make the movie way more fun and exciting. In the original, the whole movie was all about just the story and the count, bringing down all of the criminals. The colour and quality were amazing after seeing the 2002 edition making the movie more popular and interesting. All these aspects in the newer vesion had made this movie an amazing come back in popularity and over they were both a terific story and an amazing film to watch. I recomend watching both of these movies because they are just so awesome! Everybody should watch them! I rate these movies together as 800 out of 1000 beautiful majestic wolves.

   I very much enjoyed this movie. It wask fantasticaly made while the fighting scenes were fun to watch. There is a lot of action in this movie and was a very cool movie. One thing I liked about this movie was how movie directers were coming up with different futuristic aspects of life and thinking of how it would be in our near future. I did not honestly dislike anything in this movie. I recomend this movie to people who enjoy sci-fi action and futuristic movies. I rate this movie 4 out of 5 guitars.

Pan's Labirynth movie review


   "Pan's Labirynth" is a Mexican Spanish language dark fantasy film, written and directed by Mexican film-maker, Guillermo del Toro. It was created in October 11, 2006. This movie takes place in Spain in May–June 1944, five years after the Spanish Civil War, during the early Francoist period. The narrative of the film interweaves this real world with a fantasy world centered around an overgrown abandoned labyrinth and a mysterious faun creature, with which the main character, Ofelia, interacts. Ofelia's stepfather, the Falangist Captain Vidal, hunts the Spanish Maquis who fight against the Fascist reign in the region, while Ofelia's pregnant mother grows increasingly ill. Ofelia meets several strange and magical creatures who become central to her story, leading her through the trials of the old labyrinth garden.

   In my opinion, This movie was amazing. The special effects, the wild creatures, the mysterious events and tasks Ofelia has to go through, it all comes together amazingly. My favourite parts of this movie was the mystical creatures that were evil and good in this movie as well as how they were created. I have nothing bad to say about this movie and i was very glad there were sub titles because it was all in spanish. I recomend this movie to people who enjoy fairy tales and to people ages 13+ because there is some gore in this film. I give this movie a rating of 4.5 out of 5 bananas.

A Space Odyssey movie review

A painted image of four space-suited astronauts standing next to a piece of equipment atop a lunar hill, in the distance is a Moon base and a ball-shaped spacecraft descending toward it – with the earth hanging in a black sky in the background. Above the image appears "An epic drama of adventure and exploration" in blue block letters against a white background. Below the image in a black band, the title "2001: a space odyssey" appears in yellow block letters.

   "A Space Odessey" is a science fiction film produced and directed by Stanley Kubrick, and co-written by Kubrick and Arthur C. Clarke, partially inspired by Clarke's short story "The Sentinel". It was created April 2nd, 1968. The story deals with a series of encounters between humans and mysterious black monoliths that are apparently affecting human destiny, and a space voyage to Jupiter tracing a signal emitted by one such monolith found on the moon. Keir Dullea and Gary Lockwood star as the two astronauts on this voyage, with Douglas Rain as the voice of the sentient computer HAL who seems human and has full control over their spaceship.

   In my opinion did not as much enjoy this movie as the other movies I have watched in film studies. This movie was still an interesting movie to watch, with it's futuristic look on technology. The story was not bad at all as well as my favourite part of this movie was the new technologies they thought we would have in the future. The only reason I did not enjoy this movie is because Im not very much into space travel, but space is pretty interesting. I recomend this movie to astronaughts and Sci-Fi space lovers. I rate this movie 3 out of 5 coffee beans.

Night of the Living Dead movie reveiw


   "Night of the Living Dead" is an American independant back and white zombie film and cult film directed by George A. Romero, starring Duane Jones, Judith O'Dea and Karl Hardman. It premiered on October 1, 1968. This film is about how a couple is going to visit someone at a semetary when a dead person atacks them. The women runs away and finds an abandoned house. A few people are found also hiding inside this same house. Some try and work together to try and survive the night until help arrives, while others refuse to tolerate eachother. This action pact horror is full of scary events that will keep you wondering if they will all make it out alive.

  In my opinion this film was an incedible movie that kept me on the edge of my seat with of the weird events and bad luck that happens. It was a very fun film to watch. One of my favourite parts of this movie is how well the story is thought of and put together for an older movie. I have nothing bad to say about this movie. To me it was not as scary as most horror movies and I do recomend this movie to everybody ages 13+ and if you are a zombie fan than this is a perfect movie for you. My rating for this movie is 5 out of 5 zombies.

   "North by Northwest is an American thriller film directed by Alfred hitchcock , starring Cary Grant, Eva Marie Saint and James Mason, and featuring Leo G. Carroll and Martin Landau. It was created on july 28th 1959.

  In my opinion i think this movie was well made and I did very much enjoy it! The chases and mystery proved to be amazing very fun to watch. My favourite part in the movie *(SPOILER)* was the chase scene of when cary is in the middle of nowhere and a crop duster plane is swooping down and trying to run him over. there was nothing I realy disliked about this movie. It was an intense film to watch and I had a lot of fun watching it. I recomend this movie to poepl who enjoy thrillers and amazing mysteries and intense chases. I rate this film 4 stars out of 5 stars.
