  Mulholland Drive 2001

  ★★★★ Added

  Mulholland Drive is a thrilling and riveting murder mystery. like the street Mulholland drive, the movie is a winding (and somewhat confusing) journey involving multiple storylines that collide and create one at the end. After learning that the film initially started as a TV pilot, some of the scene began to make more sense as the story seemed very choppy at times. I can say, however, that this story was always meant to be a film, and for it to be a TV show just doesn't seem practical to me.

The directer, Zhao, does a good job evoking emotion not just with the powerful story itself, but with great camera work which features many notable and impressive shots. One of the most pictured is the landscape which through the use of wide angle shots, is elegantly captured and the beauty yet desolate nature of the landscape is a notable insight.

  Singin' in the Rain 1952

  ★★★½ Added

  Signing in the rain was a fun and entertaining musical. It documented the story of a silent movie star adjusting to the new age of talkies, and dealing with silent actors who voices aren't necessarily meany for the stage. It featured multiple musical numbers where one or multiple characters engaged in song and dance with the setting often changing to accommodate for background dancers and singers. The use of props such as microphones added to the genius of the movie that was adapted from a musical.
