Art+Perspective


 * Roberto Centeno**
 * Action Movies:**
 * What I can see with not just action movies but movies in general in the art perspective is how now we have 3-D movies and things such as Imax. I know I saw Unstoppable, an action movie, Puerto Rico in like an Imax setting theatre and It was honestly the coolest thing I have ever seen. The quality of the movie was excellent and the widescreens gave it an effect that you were surrounded by the movie itself. With action movies I also read this article I looked up, give a lot of influences to places like in Universal Studios in Florida they like to renact scenes from like movies, like Indiana Jones. People take the scenes from action movies and like to turn them into real life scenes to entertian others. They even have a Jaws ride there too! And off your article it stated the movie Alien vs. Predators as one of the action movies, and I know at least they had I dont know if it is still there, a ride about that movie which was like one of their best rides they had. Not only do you see these scenes in movies but you can see it in real life.**
 * One thing that I have noticed with action movies is they use a lot of cool different camera angles as well. I saw the movie SALT with Angelina Jolie and they use a lot of different camera angles, where they shoot from helicopters and buildings. It gives it a different effect that gives you something different to look at instead of just looking at the movie from one angle the entire time.** **Going back to 3-D, I feel like now everything is 3-D. In the last year that I have been to the movies all of them have basically been 3-D movies, It is the new thing for the future. All movies will me 3-D sometime down the line. Action movies will be great to watch in 3-D because you'll feel like you are somewhat in the movie. Piranha's 3D was a movie that was considered an action 3-D movie back in 2008, and from what I have read the movie itself was not one of the best movies ever, but the quality and how realistic things would jump out at you was what gave it that "movie to go watch". I really do see the 3-D being as an art perspective in 3-D movies because it will always leave you on your toes when you watch the movie because you will never know what is going to jump out at you, and you get different effects and lighting like in the movie Avatar. The scenery looks so real and it you can see the art perpective that they used to make the movie seem realistic to the eye. One last thing I just thought about too with art perspectives is that action movies sometimes have a story behind it that they tell. For example in the Karate Kid with Jaden Smith and Jackie Chan you see the history of China which shows a view of art because you are getting the history of a different culture and its traditions.**


 * Red box:**
 * Well I must first start off by saying I am a fan of Redbox. I say this because I love how convienent it is for me. I guess you can say that is an art perspective because you can get the movie whenever you want and return it whenever you want! And not only that but look how cheap it is! Only a dollar a day? Come on, no one can beat that. I personally prefer Redbox over Blockbuster because of the price and It is rare that I want to go get a movie so why do I need a membership or pay a certain amount to netflix when I might not even watch movies that month. Another art perpective is saving money. It really isn't an "art" perspective as it seem like in my other comment on the blog about action movies but who wouldn't want to save money? Tell me there is no beauty on saving money. Another thing with Redbox is that depending on locations, a lot of them are open 24 hours, unlike blockbusters that close down by 10pm. Redboxs sit outside locations such as supermarkets for people to come in and get a movie they want at any giving time and not feel obligated to run out to blockbuster to pick up movies before they close. It gives customers convienence. It is a little harder to talk on the art perpective on Redbox besides how convienent it is and how it saves people money, but again Redbox provides you with movies the same way blockbuster would so it has the perspective of keeping you up to date with movies that are provided to us for you to watch at home. Imagine if you could only watch movies in theatres and never be able to see them again? Imagine that they never made copies of movies after they were released in movies? 1. That's how they make money too by selling the movies on dvds, and 2. people would go insane not being to watch movies on their own time. The good thing about Redbox and things such as Netflix is that you always have that option to turn on your t.v and pop that movie back on and watch it whenever you want and as many times as you want.**
