Star Wars 7: Why The Jedi As Myth Makes Sense
Granted, horror stories about haunted hospitals are almost as common as horror stories based on haunted houses. That being said, no one can deny the fact that American Horror Story certainly reinvented the telling of a haunted house, so one should rightly assume that they will continue this unique approach with the mental hospi
When Murphy's intentions of having an anthology series were revealed shortly after the show premiered, gamedealhq.com many assumed that the famed Murder House would be a fixed location - along with all the season one charact
No other actor embodies the age of American Westerns like John Wayne, with his role as Ethan Edwards in The Searchers considered one of his finest roles. The film opens inside a West Texas homestead, revealing a stunning landscape as Ethan first returns home after leaving years earlier to fight in the Civil War. When his brother’s family is killed not long after, and their two daughters kidnapped, Ethan sets off to find them no matter how long it may take. The youngest daughter Debbie is finally tracked down years later, and Ethan personally delivers brings her back home. Although it’s technically a different home, she is welcomed with open arms, and the future, for once, looks bright. With no place for an aging soldier inside, Ethan is left to walk into the wild all by himself. The shot is a perfect mirror of the one which started the film, and director John Ford’s iconic closing image is just one of the reasons The Searchers would go on to be seen by many as a masterpiece, and one of the greatest films ever m

Regardless, it'll be interesting to see how Marvel explores Thanos as a villain and realizes him on the big screen for longer than five seconds. It's comforting that Joss Whedon and company didn't resort to CGI to bring him to life in The Avengers , but I wouldn't mind seeing a version of Thanos that's a little bit creepier than the one we saw previou
Some New Gods fans have lamented that Thanos will likely hit the big screen before Darkseid, which could make Darkseid’s inevitable appearance in a DC movie less impactful. Then again, it’s entirely possible - if DC gets its movie-making act together, that is - that both Thanos and Darkseid could appear in The Avengers 2 and Justice League , respectively, around the same time, as the two tent-pole superhero projects are expected to hit theaters in 2
As a footnote to their report, L-R added that McGregor is apparently pushing for his own standalone film (Disney has since announced its intent to produce standalone Star Wars movies in between "episodes" ). Not only do we think that would be a project with potential - we've already pitched a pretty good story idea for an Obi-Wan Kenobi movie . So, needless to say, we're not opposed to that happening, eit
Though Obi-Wan's ghost already played a role in the original trilogy (embodied by the late, great Sir Alec Guinness), as L-R correctly points out, Hayden Christensen was CGI-surgically implemented into George Lucas' redux of Return of the Jedi in replacement of original Human-Vader actor, Sebastian Shaw. In that sense, McGregor's slot in franchise is pretty secure, should the filmmakers choose to go in that direction. After all, for a younger generation of fans, McGregor IS Obi-
Total Recall is a simple enough story: an everyday Earthling in the not-too-distant future, Douglas Quaid, dreams of a passionate affair with a beautiful woman on the surface of Mars. So when a business offers to implant false memories for a price, Quaid decides to make his dream a reality – at least as far as his mind is concerned. The procedure goes awry, and Quaid’s false memories disappear, revealing that he really WAS a secret agent working on Mars, and the woman from his dreams wasn’t imaginary. At least, that’s what he thinks. The movie never states whether Quaid’s return to Mars really happened, and whether he succeeded in releasing air into its atmosphere, and saving its poor population. But taking a quick glance at just how closely the film’s final scene resembles Quaid’s dream, those suspecting it was simply a fantasy have even more evidence to back up their cl
There are some who might say a movie’s entire message is sent by how it begins, and how it ends. But rarely do directors actually treat their first and final shots with so much importance. Unforgettable views, moments of triumph, or witty dialogue can all make a cut-to-black and end credits seem perfectly timed, but some directors go the extra mile, crafting a start and finish that add an extra level of storytelling for viewers paying close attent
Just by making the original Star Wars series, George Lucas wound up inventing ILM and Skywalker Sound, industry-leading studios for special effects and music. ILM tends to get the most headlines, so the director decided to even the scales, including the logo for Skywalker Sound in Attack of The Clones . It's clearly visible during Anakin and Obi-wan's Coruscant chase, rotating as one of a dozen other neon signs in the entertainment district. Shameless promotion from the effects team for their audio colleagues, but we'll allow
