In this review for Insidious 2 the writer states that you can not make a sequel to a horror movie and how this is a great example why. I disagree, the screenwriter did an amazing job of weaving in the first movie with the second making everything connect. Although the movie had you thinking about certain aspects of the movie like how a part was going to connect, the movie had much more action than the first one making it more suspenseful. The writer continues to go on bagging on other sequels to horror movies saying that they're not as scary and are worse. I believe that Insidious 2 is better than the first one.
Steven Spielberg has directed many movies that I watched on repeat as I grew up. Movies such as Hook, E.T., Jaws, and Jurassic Park. All of these movies are very good movies and have become known movies. Spielberg has had 123 Academy Award Nominations and won 33 of those nominations.
Roger Deakins is a well known cinematographer. As he has filmed and been apart of man movies that were a success. Deakins filmed multiple movies that I liked such as Prisoners, Jarhead, True Grit, and Skyfall. He has been nominated without winning more than any living person. That is very impressive and shows how well of a cinematographer Roger Deakins is.

Martin Scorsese,  very famous and well known when it comes to producing movies. As he has had many hit movies over the past years, Scorsese has been presented for numerous awards for his movies. The Wolf of Wall Street, Martin Scorsese's latest movie has become a huge hit and got great review as it won many awards. Martin Scorsese is my favorite producer due to his classic movies.
John Hughes caught my attention when  I noticed that he was the screenwriter for three of my favorite movies, both of the home alones and Ferris Bueller's Day Off. Both of these movies were very amusing and have remained popular movies throughout the years. John Hughes made many movies in the 80's and 90's. As he wrote many hit movies he earned himself one of the top spots for screenwriters.

TakeTwo First Blog


  1. During the first couple of days of Take Two i have learned many things. I got to learn different camera views and ways to video a scene. Next i learned the difference between content and form. 
  2. Over the the time so far i will bring ideas such as what scenes would be good to shoot and how to shoot it. Also I would like to bring ideas on what things and ways would be useful to use in the making.
  3. I would like to learn more about the editing process and special effects of the movies and how that is done.
