Chapter 7: "Centennial Summer—1935" On Joe and Mary Alice's last annual summer visit to Grandma Dowdel's, the town is in the midst of a gala celebration commemorating "A Century of Progress." Although Grandma feigns disinterest, she tells the children that there will be a talent show that they just might "look in on" and a parade that they can view from the porch. Grandma sends her grandchildren up into the attic again, this time to search for appropriate old-time attire for all of them to wear to the festivities. Mary Alice discovers a lovely white... 1. Grandma Dowdel lies to the reporter from the city about Shotgun Cheatham.
The film writers, Seth Rogen and Evan Goldberg, supposedly based this film loosely on their personal experiences during their own awkward teenage years. Though I’m not sure how true this actually is, the film is excellently written. There is sensitivity in superbad that other teen movies such as American Pie don’t achieve, this gives the film heart. This is also the main reason that Superbad works so well, it gets away with being immature and crude by using well-written and well-acted parts to create a sense of vulnerability and loveable geeky awkwardness in the three main characters, who constantly attempt to appear cool and confident, particularly around their high school crushes, desperately fabricating stories, with hilarious
By examining the film we can see the use of all these to illustrate the narrative of one woman’s journey of falling in love. This film is directed by Anne Fletcher who has done romantic comedies before, such as The Proposal which makes this film better since Fletcher helps balance the comedy and romance in it. She has also been a choreographer for other romantic comedies, for example She’s All That, which also gives her behind the scenes experience in creating a romantic comedy film. Jane Nichols, the main character (Katherine Heigl), is the woman that is always taking care of other people and is in love with weddings; so much that she has been a bridesmaid and astounding twenty seven times. The male protagonist is Kevin Doyle (James Marsden) a newspaper reporter assigned to cover all weddings in the city of New York.
Prof Eric Parness Show Review November 26th, 2013 Becky Shaw Show Review I had very mixed reviews on the show Becky Shaw. I enjoyed the acting, the set, and the way the show was put on, but the actual plot itself confused me a little bit. I thoroughly enjoyed the set, and the way the stage was set up. The theatre felt more intimate, and I felt closer to the characters. The way the characters used the space was very nice, both Max and Andrew walked around a lot, and moved between the two sides of the stage.
A comedy about growing up... and the bumps along the way. Faced with an unplanned pregnancy, an offbeat young woman makes an unusual decision regarding her unborn child. She embarks on a search to find the "perfect couple" to take on parenting responsibilities only to find life isn't quite so simple. Fresh, original, and ceaselessly entertaining Jason Reitman's Juno is one of the brightest and funniest comedies of the decade. With scathingly sharp dialogue and intangible character chemistry, Junois a coming-of-age film that is consistently funny and effortlessly cool.
For example I recently saw the phenomenal film Their Eyes Were Watching God. Halle Berry stars in this version of Zora Neale Hurston's novel, adapted for television and produced by Oprah Winfrey. The story centers on Janie Crawford (Berry), a free-spirited woman who lives her life on her own terms. Refusing to accept her place as a black woman in the 1920s, Janie lives life to its fullest and experiences a journey filled with great joy and unbearable heartache. I enjoyed the casting choices because the actors and scenery joined to convey a part of the movies theme.
In the play, Gwendolen sets the image for a typical Victorian woman, along with her mother, Lady Bracknell. She has her personal values and ideals, and exhibits self- confidence. This can be proven by some of her lines in Act 1, like her first line “I am always right!” or “In fact, I am never wrong.” However, sometimes her over-confidence makes her look foolish. When she meets Cecily for the first time, she declares that they were going to be “great friends” and she has “likes her more than she can say”. Then when she suspects that Cecily is going to steal her fiancé, Gwendolen immediately switches her tone to saying that she “distrusted” Cecily from the first moment she saw her and that her “first impressions of people are invariably right”.
“The Diary of A Mad Black Woman” My favorite movie is The Diary of a Mad Black Woman, written and produced by Tyler Perry. Helen McCarter is living a wife’s dream. She has a nice house and a rich husband, despite the fact that she could not have children. In the public eye they appeared to be the perfect couple. Helen and Charles attend an awards ceremony, where Charles receives The Jacob Bryonsteam Award for attorney for the most outstanding attorney of the year award.
Breakfast at Tiffany’s: Compare/Contrast While anyone interested in pop culture has probably watched or heard of the classic hit, Breakfast at Tiffany’s, starring Audrey Hepburn; very few knew of the book it was based on by the same name. Acclaimed author, Truman Capote, wrote Breakfast at Tiffany’s. It depicted a socialite, named Holly Golightly, a free spirit who keeps in good wealth by getting paid 50$ by men who are pursuing her whenever she visits the bathroom. She meets the unnamed narrator when he moves into her building. He spends the rest of the novel analyzing her life and reflecting on her reasoning for her pursuit of a wealthy man.
Kate Maberly played her role as Mary Lennox excellently; you could actually feel her depression or her happiness. Heydon Powse played his role as Colin Craven great though he could have improved slightly on making the scenes look more realistic. Dame Maggie Smith played her role as Mrs.Medlock and she was an exquisite actress she has acted many films before and she was great. The Cinema Photographer took a lot of great camera shots and angles and actually creates a good or bad atmosphere/mood depending on the scene. I personally thought the film “The Secret Garden” was great although they could have made it a little more exciting and less boring.
