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.

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

  2. Living on the dark side

    It would not, should not, matter a bit to Dennis Lehane that I am late getting around to his books. Without the benefit of my eyes and credit card, he has had a critically and financially successful career since publishing his first novel, “A Drink Before the War,” in 1994. That was the first in what would be six novels in what is called the Kenzie-Gennaro series, featuring a pair of private eyes named Patrick Kenzie and Angela Gennaro.

  3. Not inconceivable! 'Princess Bride' cast reunites after 25 years

    Twenty-five years after "The Princess Bride" first stormed theaters, director Rob Reiner, writer William Goldman and cast members Billy Crystal, Robin Wright, Cary Elwes, Mandy Patinkin, Carol Kane, Wallace Shawn and Chris Sarandon reunited at the New York Film Festival last week for a boisterous screening of the quotable fantasy-comedy timed to the release of the movie on Blu-ray.

  4. 'Seven Psychopaths' is mayhem with a moral core, writer hopes

    Opening next Friday, "Seven Psychopaths" has a title promising a certain amount of spilled blood and bad behavior, and the writer-director Martin McDonagh delivers on the promise. McDonagh notes, however, that his film contains "more dialogue in the midst of a shoot-out than the average movie featuring psychopaths with guns."

  5. The Rahm identity

    This is not a political story.
    This is not a political story. This is a story about acting and the thin line between a performance and a public face. This is about aesthetics. Please do not read any ideological argument into the following or take what I am about to say as cynicism...

  6. Undercover doc lacks clarity

    Who is the ambassador? He's not a real ambassador. He's a fake ambassador, a persona adopted by Danish documentarian Mads Brugger, the man behind this sardonic investigative essay on the corrupt blood diamond trade centered in the Central African...

  7. Director Daniels serves up a heap of Southern-fried scandal in 'Paperboy' ★★

    Talk about your beasts of the Southern wild! In director Lee Daniels' jacked-up bayou melodrama "The Paperboy," taken from the comparatively sane 1995 potboiler by Pete Dexter, a screen full of charismatic actors do their damnedest not to turn into a screen full of overactors in the service of a lurid Florida Gothic. But let's be clear here. To say "The Paperboy" doesn't work is one thing; to say it's dull is a lie. This movie is berserk, which is more interesting than "eh."

  10. Not 'Taken' with this sequel ★

    "Taken 2" is so much lousier than need be, and its action sequences look as if they were put together by someone who doesn't know what he's doing. That's a problem. And not even the charismatically weather-beaten face and <em>basso profundo</em> action-star delivery of Liam Neeson can compensate.

  11. Tim Burton's 'Frankenweenie': It's alive! Or is it? ★★ 1/2

    Before things took off with "Pee-wee's Big Adventure" and "Beetlejuice," Tim Burton made a live-action black-and-white film, in 1984, called "Frankenweenie." You can find it on YouTube. It's really good.

    ZURRIEQ, Malta &mdash; The danger of going to Malta for a relaxing vacation is that a history lesson might break out.
    ZURRIEQ, Malta — The danger of going to Malta for a relaxing vacation is that a history lesson might break out. Frankly, the place even exceeds the limits of history, because we don't really know a lot about those people who built temples here that...
