Everybody Is Shooting Everybody Else In The Trailer For Ben Wheatley's Gun-Slinging Madcap Crime Comedy 'Free Fire'
" Everyone’s got a gun, and absolutely no one is in control." Nothing is as entertaining as watching a movie where two gangs go bloody bonkers in a deserted warehouse over a weapons deal gone south. Plus, it's in the late 70s and its produced by Martin Scorsese. This is enough to pike a simple man's interest.

Scarface (1983) Review
The masterful director Brian De Palma strongly believes that when you start a movie, you want to give the lead character a very impressive entrance. In 1983, he introduced one of the most iconic characters in the simplest of ways, a close-up, sitting in a chair. As the camera rolled around him 360 degrees, a face was introduced to modern audiences. Tony Montana, a political prisoner from Cuba, brought to life in an iconic fashion by the talented Al Pacino.

Shawshank Redemption : The Famous Oak Tree Has Fallen Down
The great white Oak tree made famous by the 1994 movie based on Stephen King's story has been overtaken by natural forces. That massive oak tree in a particularly beautiful hayfield to which Morgan Freeman travels after he's dropped off near a Buxton sign on a mini pickup truck as he says, "Much obliged". That tree under which Andy Dufresne had hidden a box nearby. That tree under which Andy made love to his wife. That tree is gone. Appearing in the final sequences of the film , the tree serves as an archetypal movie 101 where a structure of memorable or outlandish outlook is used as a page turner. Nevertheless, a scene that satisfied the cravings of the original book enthusiasts alongside an immaculate display of cinematography and enaction.

Carl 'The Badass' in The Walking Dead
One of the most shocking moments on The Walking Dead aired last Sunday night and had too many die hard fans either angry or confused. This has been by far the worst and rushed death in the show in my opinion. When the hell did he get bit and why did they kill him off so quick? And why couldn't it have been a more intense way to go?

Spirited Away: An Exploration of Japanese Identity
Spirited Away, awarded the Best Animated Feature Film Academy Award in 2003, is not just a coming-of-age story about a 10 year old girl. It is a film that explores the tension between Japanese tradition and Western modernity without drawing straight lines demarcating that “Japanese” or “tradition” is good, and “Western” or “modernity” is bad. Instead, it complicates these ideas to show that neither one is clear-cut, and suggests that whilst Japan must not forget its roots, these can be reconciled with Western modernity to form a new Japanese identity.
