The Crucible Movie Review The Crucible is a movie based on the true story about the witch trials that were held in Salem‚ Massachusetts in 1692. The movie is historically correct is the aspect that the trials started off from a group of girls trying to stay out of trouble by accusing people in the village that they casted their spirit onto them to make the young ladies act like they were being harmed by the so called bewitched. The movie is very good and properly explains how the girls started

Movie Review- The Core The movie that I choose to review is The Core directed by Jon Amiel. This movie portrays an end of the world scenario that is right down an astronomer’s alley. Unlike most Sci-Fis that take the approach of some alien invasion or some possible threat of a major impact‚ The Core depicts destruction from within. The movie opens with interference within Earth’s electromagnetic field. This event causes randomized disasters that gets the government’s attention. The government

Instead the Matrix achieved

IB History of Europe 12B Mrs. Akker Argo Movie review 31 March 2013 Argo is a movie about the US’s problems with Iran in the 1980’s. I was pleasantly surprised to find it very enjoyable. I don’t tend to enjoy history movies or documentaries‚ but the plot really captured my attention. I like that the filmmaker gave some background information regarding the conflict because this allowed the viewer to understand what was going on. At the end of the movie‚ pictures were shown comparing the real events

Titanic Movie Review Titanic (1997) is a wonderful love story based on real life events‚ as told by Rose‚ the main character of the story. Kate Winslet captured her character beautifully‚ acting as if she were really in a higher class in 1912. Most of this movie takes place on the Titanic‚ although some of it takes place in present time when Old Rose tells stories about her time on the ship. The whole movie seems like a flashback to April 1912. The movie is powerful‚ wonderful‚ and at times
