1979's Alien, directed by Ridley Scott, is a brilliant exercise in mood and atmosphere building up to a horror film of excruciating terror. The design of the alien, the strong performances and direction, and the straightforward, inescapable tale of a haunted house in space make it a landmark science fiction film.

Disney’s “The Lion King” exemplifies the many struggles and triumphs of leadership in several ways. It can be surprising to the untrained eye than an animated children’s movie could hold the valuable lessons by such a complex concept but it is true.

There are multiple characters that take on leadership roles at different times throughout the movie, but the primary leaders are Mufasa, the initial King we meet, his son, Simba, and Mufasa’s evil brother, Scar.

People who are unaware or disinterested in this genre would often argue that these movies just advocate violence and killing.

Many people – from artists, martial arts practitioners to fans – would hail this man as an indispensable foundation Continue reading...

Although decades of numerous incarnations have slightly diminished the stature of the vampire, the horror, seductiveness and mystery associated with it remains. Over the years, several themes have been associated with the vampires depicted in various films. The dominant metaphorical representations have been animal appetite, sex, evil and venereal disease. In F. W. Murnau’s Nosferatu, the vampire, unlike those in similar films, is unattractive and ghastly yet the fascination that grips those around him is remarkably disturbing. In this context, several metaphors emerge. This paper presents the metaphoric functions of the vampire in the film Nosferatu.

Movie Review of La Jetée Film and Analysis of the Theme of Obsession

Initial impressions

The film has made me feel sad on how radioactive substances used during World War III caused damage to the human race. The bad experiences in life bring sorrows and suffering that the mind usually “rewinds” over. I perceive the film as an open edge in science in the need for solving the present problems using the past and the future. As I watch it, I can recognize from the still images that the movie is about a man who was a victim of war Continue reading...

False Confession

A false confession refers to an admission of guilt by a suspect whereas the confessor is not responsible for the offence charged.

Organizational Structure
For the CEO position, I choose “Gordon Gekko” from the movie “Wall Street: Money Never Sleeps”.             This is because Gekko possesses the qualities of an organizational leader who can make everyone in the organization move with with just a snap of the finger.

Even though Winnie did not accept Gekko, Gordon never stops to please Winnie with the help of Jacob. However, there is an instance where Gecko needs to cheat Jacob because Gordon wanted get the money Continue reading...
