In the late 1990s the documentary hit it big with the huge successes of A&E's Biography, and the History Channel. Now the not-so-serious offspring of the documentary is all the rage as mockumentary rules the comedy scene. Mockumentary is a film genre of fiction calculated to parody the non-fiction documentary. The crux of mockumentary humor is usually centered in taking trivial matters very seriously, and mocking those who feel strongly about inconsequential issues. Mockument... more...

The Cannes Film Festival is over for another year. The votes have been tallied, the red carpet was rolled up, and the world's beautiful people have gone back to looking like the rest of us, or so we can dream. The 61st annual festival drew the eyes of the film industry and movie buffs alike across the pond to France, if only for 10 short days. At the top of this year's festival was the French film entitled "The Class," a real-life depiction of life at a junior high schoo... more...

Previously, Malta has been the shooting site for great, award-winning movies. Most movies are filmed in Hollywood with extensive props to give a realistic feel to the lives of the characters. More and more filmmakers are searching for real-world settings for their movies. Troy, 2004's blockbuster hit starring Brad Pitt and Orlando Bloom, introduced the world to Malta. Most of Troy was filmed at Fort Ricasoli. The massive fort was built by the Knights of Malta sometime between 1670 an... more...

The movie "30 Days of Night" showed vampires in a very unusual light, one that is certainly uncommon at least among movies of vampires, which are often celebrated for being sensual, as well as terrifying. Vampires in a pack formation is very unusual for a vampire movie, especially modern ones. As far as having an actual "pack" of vampires, there are only two other recent movies that give a good comparison to "30 Days," which are "John Carpenter's Vampires"... more...

There are no sure things in Hollywood, but one genre of horror movie that seems to always just draw people to it is the zombie movie. I think part of what makes zombie movies terrifying, even the older ones with slow zombies, is the taboo. They're not human, but they're close enough to bring up the cannibalism taboo. There's something great about zombie movies, which with George Romero's influence have also become renowned for having hidden political and social comme... more...

Free PSP movies can be downloaded from various movie and game-downloading sites. The software which is required to transfer the movie is also easily available, but one has to buy it from an online store.

Outdoor movies probably originated with the invention of the drive-in theater in 1933. Richard M. Hollingshead of New Jersey was the first person to open one of these venues, but his idea quickly spread to several other states. Even though the speakers and pictures weren't always high quality, drive-ins were popular because of the concession stands that accompanied them and because they provided an activity that the whole family could enjoy together. In spite of their popularity am... more...

The death of the drive-in was inevitable. Some may blame it on the land prices going up for those huge parking lots over the years, or simply T.V. viewing taking away that old tradition. Maybe it's a combination of both, but still we still feel the charm going to see cinema outside. There's a magic there that can't be replaced, that I think Americans recognize best. Some may find it a twist of coincidence that the technology which made society turn away from the drive-in, ... more...

The story linking Thomas Sangster to the Tintin Movie first appeared from what I can tell in the British press in the form of a story in the Daily Mail that later gained slightly more credence when it appeared in the better thought of Daily Telegraph. The Telegraph wrote "Thomas Sangster, 17, who played the role of Liam Neeson's step son in Love Actually, had originally sent an audition tape to the Hollywood director hoping to snare a role in The Talisman, a project which never g... more...
