Making My First Movie

Who is “Jorge Solis, Resident John Carpenter Expert”?
by Jorge Solis, 
Resident John Carpenter Expert  

    What makes a good movie critic? A movie critic has to understand the value of editing, lighting, composition, and writing. A movie critic knows right away when a performance is just downright bad and when special effects are laughable. You have to trust your
own opinion and not back down to the masses.

 

What makes me a good movie critic?  Would you like to hear my credentials?  I am a recent graduate from the College of Mount Saint Vincent.  I am very happy to say that I graduated as a Communications Major with a Writing Minor.  During the last three years, I completed four feature length student films:  The Intruder, ZombieFest, Rue Morgue, and Purloined Letter.  Did I forget to mention that I was an intern for the Publicity Department at DC Comics?  Now enough about me, let’s talk about movies.     

If I didn’t like movies, I wouldn’t have studied as a film student for so long. You will always see me listening to the director’s commentaries from my favorite DVD.  My film school was listening to the teachings of John Carpenter, Guillermo Del Toro, and David Fincher.

  I’ll let you in on a little secret; The Abyss is my favorite James Cameron movie and, I think, it is his best.  I will even tell you why Michael Mann’s Heat is a cinematic masterpiece. You don’t always have to agree with me.  If you don’t like my choices, say so and give a reason why.  Because that’s the best thing about film; it’s subjective, not objective.

Jorge Solis' first bio written during his freshman year at college.

Never in a million years did I think I would ever write an introduction about myself. If I come across as snobbish or a jerk, I'm sorry. I'm really not. I'm just a guy who likes to watch movies. I'm also a Communications Major with a minor in Writing at the College of Mount Saint Vincent. Now enough about me and let's talk about movies.

Why do I like movies so much? I guess it's because movies can be taken seriously and can also be entertainment. A serious piece of work in my opinion is The Shawshank Redemption and an entertainment piece to me is Face/Off. I like all kinds of movies but my favorites are horror movies. I can talk about James Whale's Frankenstein to Sam Raimi's Evil Dead to John Carpenter's The Thing for hours.

When I was young, I was watching movies, cartoons, and reading comic books. Alfred Hitchcock would make storyboards before he went to work on his movie. Back then, many filmmakers didn't use storyboards unless they were making cartoons. His storyboards contained the camera angle, the movement of the character, and shadows. When I see storyboards, I see a comic book.

   I don't look at the visual aspect of a movie so much. Instead I think of how the story is being told. I believe a good script makes a good movie. I care more about character development, dialogue, and the story. For example, the tension in the movie, Reservoir Dogs, between the men in suits builds up and explodes where everyone is involved in a Mexican shootout. In the beginning, everyone is having their own kind of conversation as they eat while the camera is circling around their table. Reservoir Dogs is about a bank robbery even though you don't see it. Quentin Tarantino wrote a good screenplay, which is why he was able to direct a good movie.

You can prove me wrong though on my theory. You just need to give me a good example. I think the best-written screenplay ever for a movie was Ben-Hur. The story is about a rich man who becomes a slave and loses everything he has. It is also a revenge story as he seeks vengeance against the man who betrayed him. You can disagree with me on this of course and this is why movies are great. Film is subjective, not objective. Everyone has their own opinion.
