I was finally able to learn how to … Continue reading Looking Back: Week Six

Here is my short poem.

Ah, Harry Potter. The boy who became a movie classic. Harry Potter was the first thing that came to mind for the Movies From Another Time assignment, and I think it’s really ideal for something like this. I mean, if you compare the movie poster for the first movie to some movie posters from the […]

Planet of the Vampires.  Made in 1965, I spent most of the first part of the movie wondering if they were ever going to fire their guns.  I was debating if they even had the effects for them.  None of that has to do with design. The ship sets where built very large and that […]
