Snatch
I saw the first showing of Snatch in my town this past Friday. I loved it. I am quite a fan of Guy Ritchie's first and was expecting more of the same with Snatch. Rarely do a film's opening credits hype an audience as much as Snatch. Quick paced action-to-freeze-frame-cuts introduce each cast member in situations that identify their character sort. Then we're right in it. It's true, similarities abound between Snatch and Lock, Stock

Some Like It Hot is a very funny movie. The film uses many ways to make the audience laugh, but mainly the film creates a situation where normal people would not encounter. Such as the two musicians dress up like women and join an all girl band. To make this funny, Joe and Jerry become very unattractive as women and try to act like women, but fails horribly.

Sound in ’pi’
I chose the film "Pi" for this semiotic analysis for one simple reason: it is one of my all-time favorite films. I tend to like films that involve several layers of meaning or genres. "Pi" is a work of science fiction based on a more than 2000 year-old Jewish legend. But it is also a psychological thriller. It exhibits many features of gothic film: a dark claustrophobic quest, full of contrast, that leads into insanity.
