Personal Fav!

Hey welcome to Carl's Take! I wanted to share another personal favorite with you guys! There are so many good movies in today's market, it gets hard to choose just a few to want to own. But today I want to share one I think everyone will want to own after seeing it. The movie I am talking about is Cloud Atlas! Coming out just last year the movie has some very well known actors in it. They do an amazing job in this film, but that is nothing compared to how well the story is. This story will bend your mind, it has twist and turns that you will never see coming. The amazing story line along with fa-nominal directing, and crazy real effects and details, you get pulled in. You begin to live these people's lives and want to really see what happens. This to me, is one of a few movies I truly enjoyed seeing and paying money for last year. Please, please, please, go get this movie! You will like it, that is if you enjoy a great story and amazing visual effects.

1950's

Hello and welcome to Carl's Take! I want to jump into the 1950's film, Vertigo. Directed by one of the best directors of his time, Alfred Hitchcock. This man started classic thrillers for how we know them today. Who could forget that chilling sound in the killer scene of Psycho. And his other films like The Birds, Rear Window, and North By Northwest. It is not a surprise that he made the top five best 1950's movies. Vertigo is a very interesting film with a great story line and innovative camera angles. Its about a a retired San Francisco detective suffering from acrophobia.He investigates strange activities of an old friend's wife, all the while becoming dangerously obsessed with her. If you have not seen this film I highly recommend it. Make a movie night out of it, and you will truly appreciate this old work of art.

1940

The 1940's was a very great time for film. There were many movies dealing with the war, and movies made trying to distract from the war. The movie that most say is one of the best of all time came out in this time period too. That movie is the one I would like to cover today. Casablanca has made lists of top movies since it was released in 1942. Some say it is the story that got it here, others say its the camera work and cinematography. In any case there are strong opinions for this film. It is a cross between drama and film noir, which were two very strong genres at the time. If you haven' t seen this film, please go out and watch it. Here is a trailer for the movie, check it out!
