Film Review: Pencilface By Christian Simmons
Pencilface is an experimental documentary by Christian Simmons that displays a simplistic art style. We meet our nameless main character. She is a fairly young girl playing in what seems to be an abandoned lot. The colors are very earthy. Shades of green and brown are displayed. Even on the character we see she has long brown hair that matches her short, plain, neutral toned dress. The other character that we meet, Pencilface, is a bright yellow number 2 pencil.
The main character finds the pencil on the lot. On the pencil’s face, is a huge goofy smile. This pencil, when drawn with, can make things appear. Everything the girl desires and draws is very simple. She first draws a white icing layer cake. After experiencing the power of the pencil,

    Blazing Saddles review

    Mel Brooks’ Blazing Saddles is a satirical comedy movie that was released in 1974. It is a movie that took the serious situation of racism and stereotypes and turned them into a lighter, more comical topic. The element that made this movie so great is that throughout the movie, by using the theme of general racism, Mel Brooks was able to address all sorts of different stereotypes making people see the faults in all races and ethnicities.…

    Silver Linings Playbook Review

    Everyone has quirks that make him or her an individual. We filter through life, attempting to seamlessly weave our oddities into a “normal” person. As difficult as trying to fit circles into squares, the silver lining in these valiant attempts is that the “normal” person doesn’t exist. That is what writer-director David O. Russell understood when making The Silver Linings Playbook, The film is a fantastic study in how our individual quirks, though varying in degree, have the ability to render all of us completely insane.…

    Lincoln Movie Review

    Lincoln Movie Review

    The movie Lincoln, directed by the infamous Steven Spielberg, is based on the life of Abraham Lincoln and his efforts to pass the Thirteenth Amendment to the United States Constitution, which would abolish slavery completely. With the assumption that the Civil War would end in one month, however, Abraham feels it it is imperative to pass the amendment by the end of January, thus removing any possibility that slaves who have already been freed may be re-enslaved. Radical Republicans believe the amendment will be defeated, due to the support of it not being completely assured, since they prioritize the issue of ending the war. Even if all of them are ultimately brought on board, the amendment will still require the support of several Democratic congressmen if it is to pass. With dozens of Democrats having just lost their re-election campaigns in the fall of 1864, some of Lincoln's advisers believe that he should wait until the new Republican-heavy Congress is seated, presumably giving the amendment an easier road to passage. Lincoln, however, remains adamant about having the amendment in place and the issue of slavery settled before the war is concluded and the southern States reintegrated into the Union.…

    Jealousy: The Consequences Of Loving Art

    The rough, yet smooth texture of a canvas knocks down all boundaries and only leaves room for creativity. The line from the tip of my pencil is not just nonsense; every drawing is representation of me and everything that I feel at a given moment. Through art, I have learned how this life isn't always pretty blue skies, and ceramic vases. It is purple skies with an orange hue, tornadoes in perfect weather, grimaces and tears, and so much more that words cannot convey, which is why I draw. Through art, I have learned that with the frustration and failures, there is reward in forms of pride and satisfaction of taking a step back and admiring my own…
