Do you agree? Would you choose different films?

Whose list is this? The producers', the critics' or the audiences'?

Have a read.

Hollywood at its most absurd?

This film, incredibly named "Cowboys and Aliens", is coined by Steven Spielberg's dream factory and is expected to be the next big blockbuster. The premise is so mesmerising I am thoroughly curious and will be going to see it. I will reserve judgement until afterwards but I am not hopeful...

Let me know what you think, follow the link below to get to the trailer.

Mission

By now you are aware that we are comparing these two american films.

Your mission is to research the internet to find any articles that compare the films.
Alternatively, you might find articles that give us information about either of the two films, the blaxploitation film movement or the link between that movement and Quentin Tarantino's work.

Post your findings as comments (copy the web address), and you will immediately create a library of resources for everyone in the class to use when it comes to revise for your exam.

Tim Burton and Johnny Depp make another film together.

It is hardy surprising but always exciting in my books.

Check out the details:
