Kerby Confer has vivid memories of collecting stamps as a kid growing up in Williamsport, Penn. "I had a five and dime stamp collection," he recalls. "You could buy a packet of stamps for 25 cents, put them on hinges and put them in a book." Even as a boy, Confer knew about the ultimate collectible stamp. "I was 9 or 10 and I remember telling myself, 'You know what? The Inverted Jenny? That's the stamp. That's the one you're going to get someday.�... more...

Many people are under the perception that only unsavory perverted men creep around the internet looking for porn.This notion couldn't be further from truth. Porn lovers come from all walks of life: students, teachers, lawyers, health practitioners and priests. Jenna Jameson was recently a guest on Oprah's talk show and she had statistics that stated 1 in 3 porn viewers are female. It seems that more and more women are watching porn and not afraid to say " I love to watch por... more...

As a student, there will be times that you will be required to write summaries, and movie summaries are one of them. Most of the time, you will be asked to write film summaries in your English and literature classes, and sometimes, even history classes, wherein your teacher or instructor will require film summaries for a certain type of movie that is related to your class, or sometimes, you may want to write film summaries about a certain movie you saw, or just out of the spur of the moment. Wha... more...

Sometimes, you feel like you very well want to see a movie about which there is a lot of hype but you could not afford to do it for so many reasons. The most common reason would be the traveling part of it all the way to the cinemas along with your family amidst all other commotion. There are a whole lot of associated expenses such as the additional gas, snacks for the break, tickets and for a dinner outside after the movie. Now, you can avoid it all one time and still can watch the same movie a... more...

One of the most popular reasons that people attend movies is the conversations and discussions which they spawn. One such example is what is the greatest movie ever made? While there are thousands of horrible movies out there, there are also some redeeming modern cinema greats. Film classics such as The Godfather, The Shawshank Redemption and Star Wars. Going back a bit earlier to a more classical era, there are movies such as The Wizard of Oz. Made in 1939, it is a Technicolor masterpie... more...

Indie movie making, also known as independent film making, is much more about creativity and short films than Hollywood productions. Most indie movie making projects wind up being about social issues and documentary-style projects that are less fictional or at least reality-based fiction of some kind. An independent film can be anything that you want it to be, and you need to take stock of your personal creative goals in order to become successful in your film production. Low budget movies don&#... more...

Proven in popularity of YouTube, watching movies is a favorite leisure time activity among Americans, and essentially worldwide. This is part of why movie festivals are such a popular activity. Park City hosts an annual independent Film Music Festival that features a film and musical competition for INDIE and studio-sponsored films. It also features a showcase for composers and workshops for musicians, songwriters, groups, and composers. By the summer of 2010, the Park City Film M... more...

One of the most memorable parts in any movie; whether action, comedy, romance or drama; is the kiss between the male and female leads. The building up of suspense; whether the two characters will end up in each other's arms is enough to keep any moviegoer glued to their seats until the anticipation has been satisfied. While there are perhaps a hundred or even a thousand of the incredible movie kisses; there are those that really stand out and stand the test of time. The choice of the... more...

Ever since filmmaker Kevin Smith made waves with his now classic 1994 comedy Clerks, he has pretty much stayed in the realm of low budget comedy, helping to make stars out of people like his good friend Ben Affleck, Jason Mewes, and even himself. But now, after completing a few films inside the Hollywood system (including Cop Out, his first film that he has directed where he was not also the writer) Smith is ready to go independent again with a new film that is a definite change in direction fro... more...

The 1984 horror film A Nightmare on Elm Street is not just a classic of the film genre, but has grown to be a classic film of any kind. The film is perhaps the best known work from director Wes Craven, and solidified his reputation as a master of the horror genre. Despite the fact that the first film is critically acclaimed, that does not change the fact that almost every sequel (with the exclusion of Nightmare on Elm Street 3: Dream Warriors, and New Nightmare because they were directed by Wes ... more...

Marvel has never had consistent critical acclaim with their comic book adaptations until recently. Sure, their X-Men and Spider-Man films have been very successful, but other forays into the live action medium have not been met with as much success, such as the Fantastic Four and Punisher films. However, all of that changed when in 2008 Marvel released the 1, 2 punch of the Iron Man movie and reboot of the Incredible Hulk franchise. The films did surprisingly well, not only at the box office, bu... more...

The 1987 film Robocop is not just a cult classic, but a classic film in general. The American film debut of Dutch filmmaker Paul Verhoeven, RoboCop was a scathing satire of 1980s America, while at the same time it was a heart filled character study of a man who is killed and brought back as a machine. The film, in keeping with its satire of excess, was extremely violent and gory, but was done in such a way that it carried a dark humor. The film is now a classic of the science fiction genre. And,... more...

Paul Thomas Anderson is one of the more artistic directors out there today. He holds a very notable distinction in that his films have all received positive reviews. His film, There Will Be Blood, however, is his masterpiece. At least until he does another movie. There Will Be Blood tells the story of Daniel Plainview, and oil driller and businessman. Plainview is an eloquent and intelligent man, and often subtly dupes those he does business with. He never outright rips them off, instead ... more...

There was a recent NY Times article about the current and future state of film criticism. The article is primarily a response to the recent news that the popular show 'At The Movies' was cancelled after more than 30 years. Although a well rounded article, the point I'd like to make is that the internet has done wonders for all writers, including critics. Having more people lend their viewpoints to movies has not diluted the overall profession, but has actually allowed the better... more...

There have been a slew of new films that are remakes of old films lately. One of the films that is up for the remake treatment is the classic 1980s film Robocop. Robocop told the futuristic story of Alex Murphy, a police officer in Old Detroit who is viciously gunned down in the line of duty, only to be resurrected by Omni Consumer Products, or OCP for short, as a cyborg. More of a publicity stunt instead of a genuine attempt to get the crime of the city under control, Murphy is released as the ... more...
