2015 Oscar Reactions

2015 Oscar Reactions

Well another year down. I legitimately enjoyed most of the Oscars this year. They did a pretty good job and got some categories right...but of course they also got some wrong. This post I'm just going to ramble about what I liked and didn't like about the 2015 Oscars. So let's get started!

Badass Movie Moment: Heat Armored Car

Badass Movie Moment: The Armored Car

Heat is by far one of my favorite films of all time. I love everything about it, from the loud to the quiet scenes, from the night to the day, from the acting to the sound, everything. Where the scene I'm going to talk about here is not my absolute favorite in the film, the title of this series idea is Badass Movie Moment. And that's what this scene is, badass. 

An Apology, and Some Changes

Allow me to say I'm sorry. I know I haven't been a good blogger for quite a while, I haven't posted in about 2 months. One thing I will say in my defence, college and scholarship applications have been due and have spent the last two months of my life working on them (God, they really are awful). So there's going to be some changes. I have (finally) made my New Year's Resolution, and that is to take better care of this blog. From now on I will be posting at least twice a week. I may create some series for the blog (I had a good idea yesterday), and plan to be more interactive.

My Bechdel Test Theory

So today in my AP English Language class we talked about the Bechdel Test. For any of you who don't know the Bechdel test is a list of 3 criteria that have to be passed in order to pass the test for any given film. Those three criteria are:

1. Have at least 2 women, by name in the film.
2. Those two women have to talk to each other.
3. And talk about something besides a man.

We wrote down our favorite film at the beginning of class, and now are supposed to write a blog on our favorite film and how it does with the Bechdel Test.

Robert De Niro vs. Al Pacino

Robert De Niro vs Al Pacino

Robert De Niro vs Al Pacino, two of the best actors who have ever lived and two of the best actors, maybe the best actors, alive today. But which one is better? Both have had massive success and are household names. That being said who is the better actor, not necessarily who is the more successful, so in this blog post I will break down parts of their film careers to determine who is the best between the two once and for all. This post may span a couple of weeks so the winner may not be decided today.
