Memorable films

Horror


The Shining directed by Stanly Kubrick was the first " scary movie" I ever watched, I remember the scene where Johnny the father ( Jack Nicholas) tries to break into the room with an axe and yells the coined phrase " HERE'S JOHNNY". The entire movie is a bit of a blur because its been so long since I've seen it but I remember that scene in particular the most. The camera was at eye-level and medium shots.

The movie Dead Silence directed by James Wan is the scariest movie I have ever watched. It's about a woman named Marry Shaw who cuts out peoples tongues and basically steals your soul and puts it inside a doll. There's a poem that goes a long with the movie is this "Beware the stare of Mary Shaw. She had no children, only dolls. And if you see her in your dreams, be sure you never, ever scream." The night after watching that movie i couldn't fall asleep and I kept saying the poem over and over again in my head.

Comedy

One of my favorite comedy movies is Hot Tub Time Machine directed by Steve Pink. Its about a group of friends who have been so wrapped up in their own lives that their not making enough time for each other so they go on a ski trip to the place where they always used to go. One night they all are in the hot tub and accidentally spill an energy in the electrical circuit and it turns into a time machine and takes them back to the 80's, it's kind of inappropriate but its just so funny. Most of the movie is shot at an eye-level shot however there are some birds-eye views.

Another really funny movie is twenty-one Jump Street directed by Chris Miller, staring the lovely Channing Tatum and Jonah Hill. The two boys are secret police officers and are sent to a high school on a mission to uncover the new drug that's being passed around. The boys are enrolled in the school and start to really act like they're in high school. This movie is extremely action packed and is shot from many, many angles, including eye-level, medium shot, and  extreme-long shot.
