Top Ten Movie Posters

Posters are a big part of what makes you want to go see a movie are the posters. So I figred why not list the best of them right here. So lets not waste any time as I list the Top Ten Movie Posters


10 Robot Monster
This poster is great there is a rocket ship a giant lizard two monsters fighting in the background and what appears to be a space gorilla. Now as someone who has seen the movie the only part of the posters that actually happens is the space gorilla. So it's a bad movie with a good poster that will trick anyone.
















9 Back to the Future
This is great it has the car and the main character. I think what really sells this is the look of surprise/worry on Marty's face and it makes you want to see what the moovie is about. A movie with a very fitting poster.
















8 Harry Potter and the Sorcerors/Philosophers Stone
This one is pretty cool. We have the school in the  background then some people flying on brooms and pretty much every character in the movie in front of it. The color scheme makes it feel magic and in my opinion this is the best Harry Potter poster















7 All the Star Wars posters
All the posters from this series are epic. From the original to more recent releases like The Phantom Menace. It's one of those movies where once you see the poster you imeadetly want to see it. All the posters just speak epic space opera and that is why they are on this list.
















6 E.T.
This poster is very classic the iconic shot of the bike on the moon is mostly why it's great. The poster is one that intrigues you and you will eventually see it. Also, random side note, am I the only one who thinks that the moon looks like the death star?















5 The Goonies
This one is full of wonder. Treasure pirates kids it's the kind that instantly draws you to the film. I really like it and this variation of the poster is probably the best.

















4 The Ten Commandments
Everything about this poster is awesome. The flood, the lightning, and of course Moses himself. The Ten Commandments is one of those movies that is an epic tale and it has poster that matches it.















3 Gremlins
This poster sure is creepy. The box only being partialy and the fact that you don't entirly see the gremlin open adds to the creepy vibe.
















2 The Neverending StoryLike harry potter it shows off all the movies characters and the big thing in the center looks great. I love the starry sky in the background.

















1 The Wizard of Oz
There is something magical about this poster that gives it a certain charm. I'm not sure what it is but I just love it. You can't help but love this movie.



















This was my top ten movie posters.  I hope you liked it and tune in next time for more reviews. I'll be seeing you all next time.

Jurassic Park vs Jurassic World

Jurassic Park is a classic movie combining likeable characters good humor and suspenseful action. Then there was the sequel The Lost World the less said about this the better. Finally the sequel nobody asked for Jurassic Park III. But just this year a new movie under the title of Jurassic World was released. I will be comparing it to the original and seeing if it measures up. I will look at the characters, plot, setting, effects, and action Keep in mind there will be some spoilers for those of you who haven't seen either of these movies. Will it be as good as the original, or will it be just another failed sequel? Let's find out.

Main Characters

In the first movie the main characters were Dr. Grant, Dr. Sattler, Dr. Malcolm, John Hammond, and Hammond's grandchildren Lex and Tim. Grant and Sattler are probably the movies best characters and they have very good on screen chemistry. Jeff Goldblum's performance as Dr. Malcolm is just a bit too quirky and awkward for my taste. Hammond is good character but isn't very good at running the park...like at all. The kids are kind of just annoying especially Tim. In Jurassic World the main characters are two kids named Gray and Zach, their Aunt Claire who helps run the park, a worker at the park named Owen Grady, and the movies main villain Hoskins. The kids in this movie are less annoying but don't really do much Claire is possibly worse at running the park than John Hammond. Owen is probably the best character in the movie and he's played by Chris Pratt so that's pretty cool. Claire and Owen also have good on screen chemistry but not as good as Sattler and Grant. Hoskins is sort of just added on for a kind of forced animal rights message and honestly Dinosaurs are supposed to be the villains anyway. Onto the supporting characters.

Supporting Characters

The first movie has supporting characters like Gennaro the lawyer, Muldoon the Australian hunter guy, Ray Arnold the computer guy, Dennis the other computer guy, and Dr. Henry Wu the scientist. Honestly all of them are just there as Dino food except for Dr. Wu who is only there for a bit of brief exposition. Not much else to say about the first movie. Jurassic world has the parks owner Mr. Masrani, Lowery and Vivian the security people/comic relief, Owen's co-worker Barry, this British lady who is supposed to be looking after the kids, and the only member of the original cast, Dr. Wu. Again mostly just there as Dino food and comic relief. However Dr. Wu was a very minor character but for some reason they decided to bring him back as a villain, not to sure why, but he ends up stealing all the scenes he's in. Onto the Setting.

Setting

They are set in the same place but there are some major differences from Jurassic Park and Jurassic World. In Jurassic Park the park was more like a zoo where you got in a Jeep drove around and looked at dinosaurs. I also liked all the phony Jurassic Park merchandise. The early 90's technology did make the film look a bit dated and it isn't a small thing to over look. In Jurassic World it is more like a theme park with Dino rides for little kids, rafting down a river, a Sea World like water dinosaur show (with splash zone), and an enclosed area for flying Dinosaurs. It is actually very well created and I admired that aspect of the movie. Now let's see how the action measures up.

Action

In the first movie the action was slow and suspenseful in this the action face paced and panicky. For this one it's all a matter of preference but I personally prefer the action in the original myself. I guess it just is better at keeping you guessing. But the action in Jurassic World is actually really well shot. That's about it for the action. Now onto the Effects.

                                                                                     Effects

The effects in the first movie were of course ground breaking, now that it's 2015 the effects have gotten better. But in Jurassic world the effects are kind of all over the place sometimes it's convincing like with the hybrid Dinosaur and others not so much like with the fish Dinosaur. The original was more consistent with the quality of the CGI and combined it well with practical effects. Speaking of which the best effects in Jurassic world are probably the animatronics which I am glad they included. Well time to movie onto the final aspect, the plot.

                                                                                    Plot

The plot of the original is that after an employee of Jurassic Park is killed the park director John Hammond calls in some experts to evaluate the safety but a storm knocks out the power letting the dinosaurs loose. In Jurassic World the park is reopened and the park director Mr. Masrani wants new attraction so they do the only sane thing make a hybrid dinosaur  out of the DNA of other dinosaurs. The first movie is of course a classic but not perfect mostly due to Hammond's constant incompetent actions such as  letting all but three employees leave during a storm, not having stronger fences, and letting the one disgruntled employee be in charge of the power. Of course the plot to Jurassic World isn't without it's problems either. As I said Claire and Mr. Masrani are probably more incompetent than John Hammond by choosing to reopen it in the first place. Also my suspension of disbelief was being played with a bit too much and towards the end it got a bit ridiculous, and with not trying to give to much away the Hybrid Dino is defeated with a bit of a Deus Ex Machina (look it up if you don't know what it means). There are  also some references to the other movies some of which are clever others are a bit forced. Well I've finished comparing now for my final opinion.

Jurassic Park is definitely the better movie but Jurassic world is still worth seeing. Both these films have their strengths and weaknesses and I found myself being entertained by them. Jurassic world is probably the best of the sequels and I recommend seeing it on the big screen. I would also recommend re watching Jurassic Park as it is a good movie. So that was my comparation of both movies I hope you like it and feel free to state your opinion on which movie is better. See you all next time.

House on Haunted Hill

Hey everyone I don't think I've reviewed many scary movies so why don't I review this one. It is directed by William Castle (who is famous for making movies with gimmicks) and stars Vincent Price so this should be pretty good. It's a dark and stormy night so let's review House on Haunted Hill.

A man named Watson Prichard (Elisha Cook) tells the audience that he is the owner of a house he belives to be haunted. A eccentric millionare named Frderick Loren (Vincent Price) and his wife Annabelle (Carol Ohmart) rent the house to host a party. He invites Mr. Prichard, a jet pilot named Lance Schroeder (Richard Long), a psychiatrist named Dr. David Trent (Alan Marshall), one of Mr. Loren's employees named Norah Manning (Carolyn Craig), and a newspaper wrter named Ruth Bridgers (Julie Michum). They all arive at the house and find that their host is nowhere to be found. After a chandelier falls and almost hits one of the guests Mr. and Mrs. Loren show up and welcome them to the party. He says that after midnight they will be locked inside the house. Mr. Prichard tours them around the house and shows them the wine cellar where there is a vat of acid in the middle. Lance and Norah look around the cellar and Lance gets locked in a room. When the rest of them find hi he had been hit in the head very hard.



Lace says he must have bumped his head against the wall. However Lance and Norah go down stairs to the cellar again and look in the room where Lance bumped his head Norah sees what appears to be a ghost of an old woman but no one believes her.  Norah goes up to her room and an old man tells her to leave before it`s to late. It turns out that the ghost in the basement and the old man are just the caretakers of the mansion but they end up locking everyone in the house meaning that nobody can leave. To make things interesting Mr. Loren gives everyone guns. OK we are about halfway into this  murder mystery horror movie and we haven`t seen any ghosts and nobody is dead....kind of a misleading description. Everyone is looking around the house but then they realize that Norah is missing. But there is no time to worry about that because then Anabelle turns up dead and it looks like somebody hung her. Lance finds Norah and says someone tried to kill her so Lance hides her in his room while the rest go downstairs to descuss what is happening.

***SPOILER ALERT STOP HERE IF YOU DON'T WANT THE END RUINED***

They all make the decision to stay in their rooms and not leave for the entire night. But Norah sees the ghost of Annabelle at her window which causes her to snap and leave her room. Dr. Trent sees Norah and tells Mr. Loren that she is heading down to the basement. It turns out that Annabelle isn't dead and that she and Dr. Trent are working together to kill Mr. Loren. Mr. Loren heads into the basement where Norah accidently shoots him and kills him. Dr. Trent tries dumps his body into the vat of acid. Before we sees him being dumped we cut to Annabell going into the basment and and sees Mr. Loren's living skeleton which causes her to walk into the vat of acid. It turns out that the skeleton was just a puppet and that Mr. Loren used a bullet proof vest and tossed Dr. Trent into the vat of acid. So there weren't any ghost the whole time...or were there? The End.

***SPOILERS OVER KEEP READING***

House on Haunted Hill is a very silly movie. With over the top acting and bad special effects it doesn't hold up well now adays. The whole thing felt like an episode of Scooby Doo but it was all very hilarious to watch. Now there are some jump scares so I wouldn't recomend showing it to small children. But if you want a silly mystery this movie is for you. See you next time.
