Movies can refer to motion pictures, the art form of making a film or the motion picture industry. Films are made by recording images of actors and scenery using cameras, animation techniques and special effects. In the late 1900s, computers became a key resource for making a movie. Films are made up of a series of individual images called frames. Silent, black-and-white movies were made as far back at the late 1800s. In the 1920s, films in the United States flourished with the rise of Hollywood, in southern California.

Sound was added to movies at that time, and color eventually was used as an alternative to black-and-white. Customers buy a movie ticket at a movie theater and can choose from a number of showtimes. Films, featuring "movie stars," are distributed by movie studios, which are large production companies. Movie reviews, written by film critics, appear regularly via numerous media outlets and can have a major effect on the success of a film and how much money is made.  « Show less

  1. Film review: 'Polisse' a brilliant, complex film

    The first thing that needs to be explained about this French import from writer/director/actress Maïwenn Le Besco is the title: no, “polisse” is not some obscure word too sophisticated to have come up in your high school French class. It is, rather, a child's misspelling of “police,” which — you may remember, if any of that class's faded vocabulary is still yours to dredge up — is French for “police.” How uncharacteristically straightforward!

  2. DVD review: 'Certified Copy' looks at a mysterious relationship

    My top-10 films from last year are slowly making their way to home video, the latest being this mysterious relationship drama from Iranian director Abbas Kiarostami (“Taste of Cherry,” “Crimson Gold”) — certainly his most accessible film for Westerners. First of all, it's primarily in English, with a few English-subtitled scenes in French and Italian. Secondly, it is much closer in tone and technique to European cinema than to the Iranian films that make it to the U.S.

  4. Film Review: 'Dark Shadows' more comedic than dark

    In &ldquo;Dark Shadows,&rdquo; Tim Burton exhumes the Dan Curtis gothic soap opera of the same name, which ran five days a week from 1966-1971. Not surprisingly, Burton's frequent collaborator Johnny Depp takes over the role of vampire Barnabas Collins. (Jonathan Frid &mdash; who played Barnabas in over a thousand episodes of the TV show and who died just a few weeks ago &mdash; can be spotted in the film as a guest entering a gala ball.)

  5. DVD review: 'Mission: Impossible Ghost Protocol'

    The fourth &ldquo;Mission: Impossible&rdquo; is arguably the best in the series and the best action film of 2011. Paramount Home Entertainment has just released the video version in the U.S. It has a gorgeous transfer (on Blu-ray disc, at least), rich sound, and a great selection of extras &mdash; kind of.

  7. Film review: Joss Whedon brings together 'The Avengers'

    If you've seen the predecessors to &ldquo;The Avengers&rdquo; &mdash; &ldquo;Iron Man&rdquo; (2008), the Edward Norton version of &ldquo;The Incredible Hulk&rdquo; (2008), &ldquo;Iron Man 2&rdquo; (2010), &ldquo;Thor&rdquo; (2011) and &ldquo;Captain America: The First Avenger&rdquo; (2011) &mdash; part of the new entry's fun is seeing how each of those films' central characters reacts when demoted from sole hero to just another ingredient in a superhero stew. If you haven't seen them, that particular thrill may be lost, but you can still follow the plot well enough to take a good guess at our heroes' back stories.

  8. DVD review: 'The Organizer'

    Italian filmmaker Mario Monicelli isn't exactly a household name these days, but in the '50s and '60s his films were routinely released here. His 1958 &ldquo;Big Deal on Madonna Street&rdquo; was not only an art-house hit; it was also nominated for the Best Foreign Language Oscar (as were three other Monicelli films) and has been remade in the U.S. twice (&ldquo;Crackers,&rdquo; &ldquo;Welcome to Collinwood&rdquo;).

  9. Film review: 'Keyhole' spins 1930s gangster plot with Homer's 'Odyssey'

    For a variety of cultural, financial and governmental reasons, Canadian filmmakers produce films that tend to be conventional &mdash; even bland. There are two great exceptions to this. The obvious one is David Cronenberg: Even those who hate &ldquo;The Fly,&rdquo; &ldquo;Dead Ringers&rdquo; and the rest would be unlikely to regard him as bland; many of them probably wish he were more so.

    The latest in Shout Factory's Roger Corman series compiles four movies from the early &lsquo;70s &mdash; &ldquo;Private Duty Nurses&rdquo; (1971), &ldquo;Night Call Nurses&rdquo; (1972), &ldquo;The Young Nurses&rdquo; (1973) and &ldquo;Candy Stripe Nurses&rdquo; (1974) &mdash; directed by George Armitage (&ldquo;Miami Blues,&rdquo; &ldquo;Grosse Point Blank&rdquo;), Jonathan Kaplan (&ldquo;Over the Edge,&rdquo; &ldquo;The Accused&rdquo;), actor Clint Kimbrough, and Alan Holleb, respectively. There are no ongoing characters, though a few of the same actors show up in more than one entry.

  11. Producer of Disney's 'The Lion King' continues trek into nature with 'Chimpanzee'

    It&rsquo;s a long way from the comforts of Burbank to the wilds of the remote Ivory Coast in Africa, and Don Hahn, executive producer of Disneynature&rsquo;s new film, &ldquo;Chimpanzee,&rdquo; laughs at the comparison. &ldquo;Luckily for me, I got to stay home and sit in warm edit suites right here in Burbank looking at this amazing footage our filmmakers shot,&rdquo; says the congenial producer.
