Review: Citizen Kane (1941)

Citizen Kane is probably the world's most famous and highly-rated film, with its many remarkable scenes and performances, cinematic and narrative techniques and experimental innovations. The film grabbed the attention of millions and pulled them into the tragic, heart warming story never told by Cinema before.


The famous line "Rosebud" opened the movie. At the beginning it may seem like this is what to movie revolves aroung but it's acually much more in depth then a simple word. You go through the live of a man names Charles Kane, played by Orson Welles, seeing how one life can affect hundreds.

The camera angles and views were very new in the time period this movie was first show, which helped the development of many films today. The actors were very in depth and well thought out, the story was complex but simple to follow and the effects of the film were pronominal.

Over all this film was really on of a kind, and it you are looking for something new you should defiantly check this out.

Review: Bringing Up Baby (1938)

Bringing up baby was one of the most popular "screwball comedies" in its time. Almost ruining the career of its stars. I was loved and hated by millions around the globe for it's humor and new style  in delivering its message, dialog and characters.

Katharine Hepburn and Cary Gran, the starts of the film, did a very good job in making the audience either hate and/or love them. There acting was very well done and the dialog was something to behold. Their performance together fit quite well and this film went relatively smoothly. Unfortunately movies like this are either loved or hated. For many people this film was "A lost treasure", while other believe if should have never been filmed.

What was really annoying about the movie was the fact that it lacked consistency. In more then on occasion something was dropped and in the next scene is vanished. Also if you didn't fall in love with the characters right away, the movie became slow and torturous with its mild humor and annoying actors.

Over all the movie was well made was well made, but not for everyone

Review: Singin' in the rain (1952)

 Singin' the the rain is a captivating motion picture. Said to be one of Hollywood's beloved Musical's of all time. This movie pulls you into an emotional joyride, really giving you a strong connection with the cast. Made in 1952, it was a magical experience at the time for it was one of the first talking films ever made.

 The captivating song and dance numbers would be nothing without their cast.

 Gene Kelly, who plays Don Lockwood,  and Debbie Reynolds, who plays Kathy Selden, are the starts of the silver screen and together stole the hearts of millions around the world. Not only was there acting Fantastic and believable, but their singing and dancing was a perfect match.

 This movie was more then just a simple love story.  Donald O'Connor, playing the role of Cosmo brown, and Jean Hagen, acting as Lina Lamont, both added a touch of drama and humor to the film. The humor was easy to understand and the drama didn't kill the story.

Over all this was an perfect move for all generations, with the amazing cast, songs, dnaces, and more. This movie is defiantly worth seeing.
