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.

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. 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

  1. The case for Romney

    Years ago, a friend told me a story from her days living in South America. The movie "Wayne's World" had come out, and she went to see it. She spoke English, but it was interesting to read the Spanish subtitles.

  5. Staff Q&A: Favorite and least favorite romantic movie?

    Favorite: "Jerry Maguire." Even after all Tom Cruise's insane outbursts, I still am — embarrassingly — a fan. Least favorite: "Armageddon." It was difficult to find animal crackers all that romantic in between all the terrible writing.

  23. The Grey movie reviews

    This week's featured adaptation is <a href=&quot;http://thegreythemovie.com/" target="_blank">"The Grey,"</a> a man-versus-nature thriller starring Liam Neeson. Inspired by the short story "Ghost Walker" by Ian Mackenzie Jeffers, who also helped with the screenplay, it's based on a simple, but terrifying, premise: An oil drilling team is stranded in Alaska after a plane crash and faces a pack of wolves. It sounds as grim and unrelenting as <a href="http://www.amazon.com/Into-Wild-Jon-Krakauer/dp/0385486804" target="_blank">"Into the Wild," </a>another book/movie that pitted man against the Alaskan wilderness. Here are some excerpts from reviews:
