Stranger than Paradise 4 Jul 2008 | 07:25 am

Stranger than Paradise Jim Jarmusch’s 1984 film, Stranger than Paradise, is most definitely my favorite film viewed in this class. The film has been regarded as unconventional or belonging to a person...

The Apartment 4 Jul 2008 | 04:16 am

Without a doubt. The Apartment isn't just my favorite movie we watched in class, it's one of my absolute favorite films ever made, hands down. It's the definitive statement on the nice guy winning ove...

Sex, sex, sex. 3 Jul 2008 | 11:43 am

I like Woody Allen just as much as the next person. I love Sleeper, I love Zelig, and Annie Hall and Manhattan are brilliant. As for his later work, I feel as though he fails in attempts to be too ser...

Some Like it Hot 3 Jul 2008 | 08:21 am

After finishing up the semester in American Film Comedy, I am honestly embaressed to say I hadn't seen this film prior to the course. Even though for its time it was cutting edge, and breaking a lot ...

One of my favorite films of the semester has to be Singing in the Rain. It was between this film and Some Like It Hot, but seeing as there are two other posts already about the latter, I chose to embr...

this was an easy decision... 2 Jul 2008 | 12:51 pm

So If my presentation on The Great Dictator didn't show it off enough, I get a little starry-eyed when it comes to Chaplin. I just love him and I think his movies are both hilarious and moving. Oddly ...

With a flawed 21st century viewpoint in mind, dulled by sitcoms, improv comedies, and retroscripting, I find it hard to be objective about the films of the past. I consider myself more of a borrowed E...
