Movie Theater Issues and Problems

Movie theaters are meant to be loved and adored. They inspire imagination and creativity. They are a place for people to escape and create their own world. At the same, havens could have some problems and issues at hand. I will be discussing some prime matters that circulate movie theater environments. I would also like to add that this doesn't apply to every theater. There are very exquisite and organized theaters, but most have not lived up to that standard. To start, movie tickets and concession prices. I understand that many theaters do not have the liberty to price their products due to restrictions, regulations, or the fact that they need to make a profit. Still, when you think about it, $14 for a bucket of popcorn is pretty crazy. This problem can lead to people pirating movies online and enjoying their $4 box of popcorns. Their prices are a problem that can cause people to be pushed away. If they can fix this pricing problem, they may be able to save themselves from the I

Edward Norton vs. Mark Ruffalo: The Hulk

Our superheroes have grown and become big names from Iron Man to Thor. Every superhero, who has a movie or is a supporting character, is known in the superhero universe. One age-old question within that universe involves the Incredible Hulk. This character's transformation has been an interesting one, to say nonetheless. We will be looking back and comparing the different Hulks. Edward Norton did a decent job at portraying the Hulk. This character isn't the easiest to play and does involve a lot of work. He definitely tried, but the storyline and character development didn't play in his favor. The timing of when the movie was released is also a playing a factor. This movie came out before the Marvel universe actually became a phenomenon. That didn't allow the studio and surrounding storylines to further his development. This movie was not a part of the growing universe but rather another superhero movie. Mark Ruffalo had a lot more background and information to work

Linking With NME

18 huge films turning 10 in 2018 In the artcile above, they discuss the films that are growing older and turning the big 1-0 this year. I would like to put my input on some of these movies and dicussing them. The Dark Knight was a very pivotal movie. It was one of the best Batman movies to be made and the Joker character was extradinary. It also brought up issues after the death of Heath Ledger and how method acting can get too far. He was warned before filming that the movie was dark and not as friendly as the previous Batman movies made before. It was role that would take a lot out of him mentally and eventually took his life. This movies was one that would go down in history. Wall-E is a cartoon Pixar movie but also kind of changed the world. It opened many people's eyes about taking care of the Earth and how crazy it will get if we don't change our digusting ways. We were taught to take our eyes away from screens and enjoy the world around us. We were shown that lov

Why Aren't There Any Strong Hispanic Female Leads?

Recently, we have had strong leads in movies. Especially with Wonder Woman, we see that strong female leads are possible and inspire so many people. We should move forward even more and have a strong, Hispanic female lead. Yes, we have had amazing Hispanic female leads in previous movies like Jessica Alba, Michelle Rodriguez Cote de Pablo. Still, they are being taken out of the light by their other male leads. So why hasn't there been a Hispanic female lead yet? By having a Hispanic, female lead we will be showing little girls how they can be strong too. We will be showing a whole race that they shouldn't live under someone else's shadow. They are amazing woman out there that are more than just their good looks or a good body. They are smart, leading and have done truly extraordinary things. Hollywood is run by men. Lately, we have seen what goes on behind the scenes and it is truly horrifying. Women need to be vocal and strong in telling their male co-workers that they

Wreck-It Ralph 2: What Is Going To Happen?

The internet has been buzzing with sequels. First, it was the Jumanji movie, then we got a teaser trailer for Incredibles 2 , and now we have the first trailer for Wreck-It Ralph 2 . Their marketing team did an excellent job on getting everyone to talk about the first trailer release date and getting everyone excited about it. A lot was relying on this first trailer and from what I have seen so far. I don't think it's going to do well. The first movie was a well thought out movie with heart, a fantastic story and developing characters. It was the first of it's kind, combining video games into real life, in a way. What everyone loved about the first movies was the fact that it involved video games that so many people grew up with and loved. It also includes the story from the villain's perspective, who just wanted to be good. It made you feel happy inside and appreciate the good things in life. A perfect children's movie. Now the second has a lot of work to beat
