M. Night: Film Analysis
At 2008, THE HAPPENING, happened. It was marketed as M. Night's very first R-rated horror movie. I can't assure you that this film is definitely bloody and includes some disturbing bloody imagery one might expect from a R-rated thriller flick. However, was this movie held up as the people were anticipated as?
Well, technically, the answer is definitely a 'No'. Why? Because, it is very miss-marketed, hilariously awful, was an absolute flat comedy not a horror nor thriller, and one of M. Night's worst movie ranked.
The central story of the film does not make sense at all. The story is about a science teacher and his family trying to survive a plague. It sounds like an interesting premise but sets it off as a uneven and uninteresting plot. Easily, the twist was horrendously awful, becoming the plants to be setting off the plague against human beings as they thought we were

Night was trying to tell social commentary about the crucial modern world and the effects that apply to certain or most type of the people spread. Also, I think M. Night was trying to tell a story about a man's death. Along with the plot, people commit suicide as Mark Wahlberg's antagonist and his family stay alive with the genetic ability to overcome the plague from the nature. I think he was trying to tell a struggle of a human being a man, and how death can be a hard subject matter to a hard working man. Death doesn't come by coincidence, it comes by no matter and realization of the wrongs. From the experiences of a plague of death or events of death also meaning hate towards people, you need to realize the behaviors you have created and is causing by trying the best to overcome your hatred and fear of the wrongs you have committed. However, it focused to much on minor little details with little to no subject matter and prudent to what the consequence will become. It addressed the hidden message very poorly, coming out as a huge comedic

    Sequels usually have a bad reputation, but Ghostbusters 3 takes that stereotype and shove it in the Patriarchy. Yes, many years later we have a more modern sequel slaying the theatres. I went to see this the day before my birthday with a few friends and the movie left me in awe. Ghostbusters 3 makes women into the saviours, instead of the mother, the nurse, or supporting roles.…

    I must admit, I approached this film with a certain amount of trepidation. Maybe it was because I was expecting what would basically become a cop-film parody version of Shaun of the Dead, with the same jokes and, on the whole, the same themes. Or maybe it was because I feared the team behind that first excellent parody would not live up to expectation and, possibly, overstretch themselves. Whatever the reason, I will say now, all my fears were dispelled even if my wallet felt a little lighter than normal.…

    McFarland is a movie based on Coach Jim White, a track coach. It showed him as he created, then coached the McFarland Cougar’s cross country team to victory. It was a very moving movie with a main message, but that message was not what had struck me. The most powerful message was said before a race. Coach White said something about everyone one that mountain is in pain. He then said that they should look at the competition and themselves and decide who can handle it. This quote has so much meaning and should be stuck in everyone’s head when they are in pain.…

    It has all that we like in a movie, plus we are a parody site and this movie is no doubt parody and a pretty awesome one too. You don’t have to worry about dead laughs because people will laugh because there are so jokes put out that even if they don’t laugh at everyone, there are plenty to where at some point they will. It is completely parody and it is over horror, this tops a lot of the other horror parodies in my opinion. The people who made this movie did a great job of making sure that all of the lighting, sound, dressing, makeup, special effects, and camera work did very well. There was always enough light and never too much, not too loud or too soft to where you can’t hear what they say, there is some gore and that was done well with the blood and body parts, and the outfits for everyone fit them perfectly. I know you guys aren’t a huge fan of cliches but the ones used in this movie are actually used really well because they were making fun of those typical horror movie cliches and making them better. They made them enjoyable and that is pretty impressive. In my opinion you can’t go wrong with this movie with the fans we have they will love it. So, please put this on the website, it definitely deserves it. If it gets bad reviews on the website you can fire me. That’s how confident I…

    This unoriginal “horror” flick was a few movies short from being the worst movie I’ve ever seen. Due to poor acting and/or lack of acting made this movie unbearably hard to watch, parts of the movie that were supposed to be serious, were comical due to Megan’s terrible acting. They advertise the movie as horror but refuse to show any type of actual gore, there was very rarely any close-up scenes of Jennifer devouring her victim’s bodies or the police…

    Overall, this is still a good movie that draw your attention and you can be really enjoyable watching it. I personally think the actors did really well performing their roles, especially Tom Hanks as James Donovan, and Mark Rylance as Rudolf Abel. They got the movie pretty much base on the truth, and some parts were of course dramatized to make it more…

    Movies are all about taking you on an adventure. They expand our minds, they bring our imagination to life, and manipulate our emotions. Directors do this in many ways, whether they are peculiar camera angles and shots, extreme lighting, or music that intensifies a scene. If a director correctly implements these within their movie, the audience’s emotions can very easily be manipulated.…

    Critics had some very positive things to say about it from they saw. They agree that the director Joss Whedon did a phenomenal job of directing it and getting the story line done because without him they think the movie would have crashed and burned. The critics also really enjoyed the plot they put together it wasn’t all action it had more of a mix genre to help make it more intriguing to a broader audience. They did seem to have a negative reaction towards the special effects though they didn’t enjoy how they were the same special effects that everybody else uses. All in all the critics had very positive reviews with a little negativity but overall they agreed the movie is worth the watch. Don’t think twice about watching it, you won’t regret…
