Movies can refer to motion pictures, the art form of making a film or the motion picture industry. Films are made by recording images of actors and scenery using cameras, animation techniques and special effects. In the late 1900s, computers became a key resource for making a movie. Films are made up of a series of individual images called frames. Silent, black-and-white movies were made as far back at the late 1800s. In the 1920s, films in the United States flourished with the rise of Hollywood, in southern California. Sound was added to movies at that time, and color eventually was used as an alternative to black-and-white. Customers buy a movie ticket at a movie theater and can choose from a number of showtimes. Films, featuring "movie stars," are distributed by movie studios, which are large production companies. Movie reviews, written by film critics, appear regularly via numerous media outlets and can have a major effect on the success of a film and how much money is made.

Men in Black 3
Fox 5 San Diego staffI had a weird thing happen when attempting to review this movie. The studios did a screening that was at a time late in the afternoon. I couldn’t attend on time. So I caught the last 40 minutes and had mixed feelings. I then did my review on TV,...Tags: Tommy Lee, HBO (tv network), Chinese Restaurants, Entertainment, Danny Elfman

What to Expecting When You're Expecting
Fox 5 San Diego staffI might lose my man card saying this but…Cameron Diaz rarely looks appealing on screen. She was cute and fun in There’s Something About Mary and okay in Vanilla Sky. I can’t think of anything else I’ve liked her in. So, teaming...Tags: Brooklyn Decker, Garry Marshall, Entertainment, Anna Kendrick, Kirk Jones
-
Battleship
Fox 5 San Diego staffMr. Board was bored watching a movie based on a board game. Although I think it’s false to keep stating in reviews and press releases that this is based on the Hasboro game. It’s an alien invasion film with battleships. Other than missiles...Tags: Michael Bay, Taylor Kitsch, Entertainment, Hamish Linklater, Tim Burton

Dark Shadows
Fox 5 San Diego staffIn my opinion, Tim Burton is the worst director making money in Hollywood. And it’s not like things are going to change. He likes to remake stuff, and he puts Johnny Depp in it. This means the films make millions and millions. Why would anything...Tags: Music, Watchmen (movie), Entertainment, Karen Carpenter, Danny Elfman

Headhunters
Fox 5 San Diego staffTwo of my favorite movies of the year are playing right now at the Hillcrest Landmark. One of those is Sound of my Voice. The other is this crime drama that reminds me of a Coen Brothers film like Blood Simple or No Country for Old Men – except that...Tags: Nikolaj Coster-Waldau, Drama (genre), Entertainment, Arts, Ethan Coen
-
The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel
Fox 5 San Diego staffIt’s like The Golden Girls if done by Merchant-Ivory. Okay, it’s not that bad. Sure, a lot of the script feels like it’s a TV sitcom, and hey…it was written by a TV writer. The steller British cast includes Tom Wilkinson (who...Tags: Slumdog Millionaire (movie), Julia Roberts, Entertainment, Bill Nighy, Dev Patel
-
The Five-Year Engagement
Fox 5 San Diego staffI don’t mind a comedy going for two hours but when a lot of it isn’t working, I start to wonder why they didn’t just cut 20 minutes off the thing. I often watch movies with Jason Segel wanting to punch his face. I’m not sure why....Tags: Van Morrison, Entertainment, Emily Blunt, Jason Segel, Brian Posehn
-
The Raven
Fox 5 San Diego staffWhen I hear about an actor being cast to play somebody famous, I never really analyze it before seeing the movie. I didn’t think Jim Carey looked anything like Andy Kaufman, and he was great (and somehow got robbed of an Oscar nomination). Val...Tags: Andy Kaufman, Academy Awards, Entertainment, Nicolas Cage, Johnny Depp

Sound of my Voice
Fox 5 San Diego staffIt irked me that last year Martha Marcy May Marlene got so much critical praise. It was an uninteresting movie about cults, with two good performances (John Hawkes, Elisabeth Olsen). This year we get a great film about cults, and I’m guessing...Tags: Entertainment, John Hawkes, Stranger Than Fiction, Tom Cruise, Allergies
-
The Avengers
Fox 5 San Diego staffWhat do you get when you take the director (Joss Whedon) best known for Buffy the Vampire Slayer – and you give him $220 million to make a movie? Oh, and he’s seen Transformers, because there’s a lot of stuff that looks like it was taken...Tags: Scarlett Johansson, Entertainment, Joss Stone, Joss Whedon, Jeremy Renner
-
People V. the State of Illusion
Fox 5 San Diego staffOh, Austin Vickers (no, he’s not an NFL quarterback). Why did you waste my time? Why are you going to waste the time of any sap foolish enough to spend money to go see your docudrama infomercial? The filmmakers that gave you the mildly entertaining...Tags: Junior Seau, Sports, Bleep (euphemism), Entertainment, Science and Technology

The Ballad of Genesis and Lady Jaye
Fox 5 San Diego staffThis documentary is about musician and performance artist Genesis P-Orridge. Sure, I’m not in the target demographic. You mention Genesis to me, I’m asking “When Peter Gabriel sang, or Phil Collins?” Supposedly this Genesis was an...Tags: Music, Entertainment, Concerts, Genesis (music group), Felicity Huffman
