This Is What Makes 3D Movies A Geat Experience

admin — Wed, 16 Nov 2011 00:00:00 +0000

3D is a major step up in movie realism. Movies filmed with 3D cameras – that is, two cameras filming simultaneously at just the right distance apart – can imitate the real world more than ever before. Characters are no longer flat, explosions can send fire and debris into the audience and the sky stretches out forever behind the film, making going to the movies more like going to a live action special effects show. What 3d has done to live action movies is similar to what 3D animation did to cartoons.
3D is not limited to picture. 3D audio systems are being developed to surround you with multi-channel audio, making the sound seem to come from beside you, behind you, above you, below you and all around you, far more than the typical 5.1 audio systems will allow.
3D is catching on fast and rapidly improving at a rate that matches that of the advent of color in the early forties. While now it is seen as a special bonus in a film, we may one day come to expect it. It is entirely possible that one day the 3D format may be as common for a movie to be shot in as the color format.

Which Movie Is More Family Friendly? Harry Potter Vs. Twilight

admin — Wed, 13 Jul 2011 00:00:00 +0000

Hands down the Harry Potter Series is a better bet for your family viewing. This wonderful series encourages morality, increases family discussions and introduces children to the value of reading to get the whole story. With no sexual innuendo, these brillant and moving stories show strong young women, children with less than idealic home lives who find a chanel for their pain.

Twilight on the other hand is pure teenage angst that drips with sexual innuendo, mature themes and plenty of teenage drama. The twilight theme is the Romeo and Juliet of the 21st century. The Harry Potter Series represents the Samson and Goliath story of the 21st century. With a constant focus on sports, friendships and adventures, J. K. Rowling’s does not force children to grow up too quickly. Twilight, may encourage teen-age reading, Stephanie Myers also discourages academics while encouraging weak female character roles that throw common sense to the wind.

The strength, integrity and heroism developed in the Potter series provides positive messages and models for young men. Filled with adventure, chicanery, love and loyalty, Harry Potter is the best choice. For those parents concerned about the emphasis on magic remember that it is fantasy like superman.

The Greatest Movies Of All Time

admin — Mon, 11 Jul 2011 00:00:00 +0000

In order to examine the greatest movies of all time, we should break them down into genres. The main movie genres are comedy, horror, adventure and fantasy. When you name the best movies in each of these genres, you have developed your list of the greatest movies ever made.

Comedy
The greatest comedy ever made is a difficult decision. But when you consider the ground that it broke and the paths it carved for future comedies, you would have to choose “The Kid” (1921). This Charlie Chaplin classic was one of the first to incorporate elements of drama and adventure in with comedy. There were many great comedies that followed this one, but the formula established by this great movie has been followed for decades.

Horror
Few people will argue that the greatest horror movie ever made is “The Exorcist” (1973). It caused such a uproar in its day that the Catholic church tried to have it banned. The attention only fueled curiosity, and it went on to become one of the greatest movies ever made.

Adventure
The best adventure movie ever made is “Ben Hur” (1959). This epic tale of the life of a betrayed Jewish prince has been captivating audiences for many years. The chariot race scenes are some of the best action scenes ever filmed.

Fantasy
“Avatar” (2009) holds the crown as the greatest fantasy movie ever made. The film’s ability to transport you to an entirely new world, and the exciting story it tells, are a great combination.
