Favorite Actors of All Time

I thought it would be fun for you guys to get to know six of my favorite actors of all time, as well as my three favorite movies with them in it , I'll reveal who my favorite actresses are next week. There have been may men who have graced, and still continue to grace the silver screen and have proven over the years how versatile they have become. 

The first actor I'll mention is Tom Hanks. He is someone who can genuinely do it all from comedy to drama to animation. The way he gets into character is something I admire. He is a likeable guy and that is one of many reasons why I love him so much. Some of my favorite movies with Tom Hanks include the Toy Story trilogy, A League of Ther Own,  and Forrest Gump. Another actor I love is Robin Williams. Similar to Hanks, he was able to do it all and got deep into whatever character he would portray. He was one of the funniest people on the planet. I remember when he was on an episode of Whose Line is it Anyway and I cried tears out of my eyes because of how funny he was. Robin Williams was a true light and is sad to believe he is gone from this world. Some of my favorite movies with Robin Williams include Good Will Hunting, Dead Poet's Society, and Jumanji. My next 
favorite actor is Denzel Washington. While I have not seen a lot of his films, I love his presence on screen and how he has played so many different characters. He has shown his versatility throughout the years for sure. Some of my favorite films with Denzel Washington include Fences, Remenber the Titans, and Glory. Harrison Ford is another actor that I love a lot. He is versatile with the roles he has portrayed, even though he is known for his action-adventure roles. My favorite movies with Harrison Ford include Raiders of the Lost Ark, Air Force One, and Regarding Henry.

 As far as old Hollywood actors go, I have two actors that stick out to me as some of my favorite. The first that sticks out is Jimmy Stewart. He is someone who plays the good guy and was very talented. He could do it all from comedy to drama and he even did a few westerns. Stewart seemed to have this presence around him that was infectious to those he worked with. Some of my favorite movies with Jimmy Stewart include It's a Wonderful Life, Mr. Smith Goes to Washington, and The Philadelphia Story. Henry Fonda is the other actor I love from old Hollywood. Like Stewart, he would always play the good guy and always have a good conscience. He was also versatile and did a lot of westerns in his career as well as some drama and comedy. Some of my favorite movies with Henry Fonda include 12 Angry Men, On Golden Pond, and The Ox-Bow Incident.

 Who are some of your favorite actors? Let me know in the comments.

Hello... Again

 Hello. It has been a while since I have written something for this blog. 2 years to be exact. This started out as an assignment for a class, which then became something that I enjoyed as I continued on. When the class was over, I sort of just forgot about it. Recently, I have thought of reviving this blog, and I thought as a way to start things off, I would do a catch-up of what has been going on. Since my last post, a lot has happened in my life. I completed my associate's degree in Liberal Arts in May of 2020. It is one of my proudest accomplishments, considering that it was right in the middle of a pandemic. My school was able to have a socially distanced commencement ceremony in September of 2020, for which I was super grateful. I applied to a local 4-year university last summer and I got accepted. I have now completed my first year at my new school and I am a Cinema and Media Arts major. How fitting. I really have found my calling with cinema and I am truly happy. I have no i...

Black Swan Movie Review

When I posted a review after watching The Social Network , I wasn't really expecting many views but I was definitely surprised by how many people looked at it. Since that review did so well, I thought I would review a movie that I watched this past week on a whim, Black Swan . I was scrolling through my TV and noticed that all of these movies were free for around a week and I saw that Black Swan was listed as free on demand. I have wanted to see this movie for years because of what it was about and how great Natalie Portman is as well. I was expecting to love this movie and hopefully, my thoughts will be coherent enough to follow along. Black Swan is a psychological horror film that came out in 2010. Directed by Darren Aronofsky, this film follows Nina Sayers (Natalie Portman) a ballerina who dances in New York for a company. It is announced that there is going to be a ballet that is going to be a new take on Swan Lake where the main role is the Swan Queen, a portrayal of both ...

The Social Network Movie Review

Today in my Social Media class, we watched The Social Network and I thought that it was a fitting choice for what has been talked about so far. After finishing the film, I wanted to write my initial thoughts about the film, or rather what I could decipher immediately after finishing it. I feel my mind is spinning a million miles a minute right now but here are my thoughts about the movie after watching it. The Social Network is a drama film that came out in 2010 and was directed by David Fincher. This film follows the creation of Facebook through Mark Zuckerburg, Eduardo Saverin, and others with showing flashback scenes of the creation process and the problems that Zuckerberg later faced after the matter. Some of the stars of The Social Network include Jesse Eisenberg, Andrew Garfield, Justin Timberlake, Rooney Mara, Brenda Song, Rashida Jones, and many others. According to IMDb, this film was nominated for eight Oscars and ended up winning three Oscars. This film won Best Adapted...
