Fantasia Critique
Fantasia was first released by Walt Disney in 1940. It was the first film of its kind and used many groundbreaking techniques for the cartooning world. The movie itself is an animated cartoon that puts visual aspects along with eight classical songs and seems to magically come to life with all sorts of characters and storylines. The conceptual framework of the individual pieces embraces such areas as prehistoric times, the four seasons, nature, hell/heaven, the

Far and Away
Far and Away fades in with a slow fly-over shot of a crashing Atlantic Ocean on a partly sunny day, off the coast of what could not be mistaken for anywhere but Ireland. The wide-angled overhead continues, and the film title emerges as the camera lifts up and over the craggy cliffs and shoreline of rural Ireland; our sense of place reinforced by a backing of cheery Celtic flute music. The opening credits continue to

Fashion in the 60’s
Innovative, creative, bold and brash. Sixties fashion belonged to London, England. The Brits set the tone and the world followed. What we wear has always defined us to some degree.

The 1960s ushered in an attitude of "anything goes" and reflected the shifting politics of the day. "Do your

Though I am tempted to regard Elvira's braving of this mess as a sign of her inner health, because she is willing to see with her own eyes the destructive energies that others repress from conscious thought, I also see that she is quickly co-opted by these destructive energies. On an irrational level, this abattoir is the locus of Elvira's death wish. It's in this scene of “murder” and death that she really comes alive;

Feminity in Contemporary Horror Film
FEMINITY IN CONTEMPORARY HORROR FILM One might say that horror film- genre has been invented by feminists. Horror films seem to be one of the only genres that have women as heroines instead of dominated side characters. In horror genre women are the ones fighting against evil and men are the ones dying trying to help these heroines. Or perhaps the horror genre uses heroines to differ it self from hero dominant action genre.

Femme Fatale in Film Noir
The term film noir was coined by French critics for 1940s-50s American films that shared a dark sensibility and a dark lighting style, such as Double Indemnity (1944), Out of the Past (1947), and The Postman Always Rings Twice (1946). Many theorists related the common noir attributes and aesthetic elements to a post war society characterised by insecurity about gender roles, the economy, changing definitions of race, and nuclear technology.

FEN is a thought-provoking piece, centering on a tight community in the fens of east England. The play suggests at being set in 1980's, and whilst it sounds very 'fluffy bunny-lambs-buttercups-please close the gate' type of play, it is far from it. The play has a very dark side, and deals with issues such as child abuse, suicide, separation, and first and foremost the plight of the farming economy and life in the country. The

Field of Dreams
When I was younger I thought that I would enjoy Field of Dreams (Robinson, Kinsella, 1989) because it was a baseball movie. I remember watching it and not liking it because baseball was secondary to the actual plot. Since I was so young I never caught the actual meaning of the movie or what lesson it was trying to portray. This movie is about second chances, and having a dream that you feel is lost.
