La Jetee

  Very interesting for sure.  The film opens up with a young child watching a man get shot and killed. Shocking, horrific for the child, it fast forwards to scientists finding a way to go back and save the future. Using a prisoner, they decide to test the time travel on him. With a lot of the fourth wall breaking, this film felt a bit like a psychological thriller when the man killed at the beginning was actually himself. These movies I find so interesting to me. As someone who does abstract art, that is what psychological thrillers remind me of. Do you have to go down a rabbit hole online and find yourself at some article and photo and be like, how did I end up here? You got there through something that connected with one another, and if you were to rewind it would be a jumbled mess, but can be taken into individuals differently depending on how you look at it.  La Jetee, a voice over narration, seemed like it delved into the director's mind of an idea that continues to...

How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days

HOW TO LOSE A GUY IN 10 DAYS. PLEASE. I love this movie. I have seen it once before but I wasn't feeling well this past weekend and it seemed like the film to solve whatever was happening. Kate Hudson is just so beautiful, and Matthew McConaughey also is a good co-star for the attractive, rom com lead.  Premiering in 2003, Kate Hudson as Andie is a New York journalist writing for “ Composure” as the “How to” girl, advising women how to do certain things in the modern age. Andie gets fed up with the boring writing, but needs to prove she can write well plotting the “How to date a guy in 10 days” dating Ben, Matthew McConaughey. Ben has his own agenda with a bet if he makes a girl fall in love with him in ten days to secure a spot for a diamond account in “Composure.”  There are so many romcom movies that I love, and they all have similar stories, but Kate and Matthew have such good chemistry throughout it gives me so many butterflies watching it. Throughout the scenes it has t...

The Controversy of Internet Stars on Television

The controversy of internet stars on television has been going on since the mid 2000s. When YouTube gained momentum, it was more popular for stars to be put into mainstream media causing a complete uproar for people viewing and actors and actresses in the industry. It posed the question of, “just because they're famous, what makes them qualified to act?” AwesomenessTV gained popularity back in 2014, making films and movies only starring social media stars. As a fourteen year old, I was obsessed with AwesomenessTV. Nickelodeon would pick up some movies, and I would see the people that would talk on my phone on my cable TV. It was like watching a friend making their big break. I thought it was truly the way to stardom by making videos in your room right to the red carpet and it was the case for some! Cameron Dallas for example, one of the MagCon boys, starred in numerous films including Expelled, The Outfield , and the TV show, Chasing Cameron. By 2017, Dallas began his music caree...
