Are you an action adventure movie fan? How many of these films have you viewed?

1. The Seven Samurai - Akira Kurosawa's epic The Seven Samurai' appeared in 1954. According to people who care about this sort of thing, The Seven Samurai'is thought of as the first true action adventure film. This epic film about a squad of samurai freelancers defending a village invented many techniques used in action movies today. Kurosawa's film was the first to use slow motion for dramatic effect, and introduced the world to the stand-alone prologue. Akira Kurosawa is a master of filming battle scenes, and he pioneered many techniques for filming action and fighting that would be used for the subsequent half a century. Using extreme close-ups during fight scenes just wasn't done before this film, and that particular technique is still used today. The Magnificent Seven is the most obvious example, but many movies have been heavily influenced by The Seven Samurai.

2. The French Connection - This 1971 film exemplifies the golden age of harsh and cutting-edge police procedurals. The 1970s was loaded with pulp and dirt, and for a time it seemed as if no film could be shot during the day. The French Connection is one of these true story action adventure film dramas. The French Connection was awarded three Oscars: Best Picture, Director, and Actor. Do not let the awards fool you, this is an action adventure movie. We have got fistfights, we have guns and ammo, we have pursuits and illegal drugs and everything else an action movie fan might wish for. Gene Hackman as a NY police officer is tough and cool, the enemy of evil heroin smugglers.

3. Jurassic Park - Jurassic Park is a true action adventure film mega hit in just about every way. Strand intriguing and likable characters on a weird island, add some machinations and luggage filled with money, and don't skimp on the CGI and dinosaurs and you have got yourself an action adventure movie. Still thought of a special effects achievement, it is hard to recollect that Steven Spielberg's Jurassic Park'was so far ahead of the game technology-wise that it seemed like this one motion picture would alter the action adventure genre forever. What's tense about this movie is how plausible it is. You start to think the technology underlying Jurassic Park' is not only obtainable, but easily so. Like Frankenstein and myriad other mad scientist plotlines, Spielberg's movie gives you all the action adventure you can handle. Dinosaurs pursuing cars, dinosaurs pursuing other dinosaurs, and even irresistible child dinosaurs for the children in the crowd. Jurassic Park' is an action film/sci fi allegory about genetic engineering and the perils of science without ethics. Besides, a lawyer gets bitten in half.

The endurance of the Frankenstein narrative as a modern cinematic myth is undeniable. Its flexibility has produced classic and contemporary horror film-most notably the Universal films of the thirties-but it has also resulted in unusual hybrids, such as musical horror-comedy (The Rocky Horror Picture Show), hyperbolic parody (Flesh for Frankenstein), and science fiction (the Alien and Terminator series). This sourcebook provides a complete guide to all of the story's filmic incarnations-including essential information such as cast, creative personnel, and plot summaries-and also guides the reader to relevant primary texts such as scripts, posters, production histories, and newspaper clippings. Utilizing an approach that is both popular and scholarly, and including spotlight essays that deal with contemporary academic approaches to the subject, The Frankenstein Film Sourcebook reveals the depth of the cinematic range of interpretations of a classic modern myth.

Comprehensive in its scope, The Frankenstein Film Sourcebook provides an alphabetical guide to two hundred films that incorporate the Frankenstein narrative. It also delves into both primary and secondary perspectives and includes discussions of aspects of the films, such as their depiction of women, which is relevant to current scholarly critiques.

How to Make Halloween Frankenstein Luminary Jars

!: How to Make Halloween Frankenstein Luminary Jars

Halloween is a festival celebrated around the world on October 31 every year. On this day, people disguise themselves into scary and spooky characters to keep evil spirits at bay, as per the ancient beliefs. Therefore, the surroundings and the houses are decorated with these frightening characters, the popular one being the legendary monster from the movie Frankenstein. The horror movie as well as the name Frankenstein is based on the novel by Mary Shelley. Frankenstein's monster was portrayed as a creature filled with hatred, having murderous intentions. The luminary jars based on this creature can impart an interesting angle to your Halloween décor. We are providing here some easy steps to make these jars.

Things required:
• Old unwanted cans
• Empty glass or pet jars
• Glass paint of different colors, such as green, white, and black
• Paint brush of different sizes
• Black cardboard sheet
• Scissors
• Glue stick

Steps to make Frankenstein Luminary Jars:

• Jar painting: First, take a clean & dry empty glass jar and paint evenly the entire jar in green color, using a broad sized brush. Green paint is preferred since the Frankenstein monster is believed to be of this shade. Let the paint dry thoroughly.

• Eyes: In the upper half of the jar, with black paint, draw an outline of two ovals, vertically adjacent to each other. Fill up the interior of these ovals completely with white paint. Draw a circle in the lower portion of each of these ovals and color them black to make large eyeballs.

• Nose: At the center of the jar, draw a white colored blob below the eyes. Keep the size of the blob smaller than that of the eyes. This is the nose.

• Lips: Just below the nose, draw lines in horizontal, saw tooth pattern. The size should be commensurate with that of the eyes and nose. This structure represents lips.

• Hair: Cut a strip of black cardboard sheet with its length corresponding to the circumference of the jar. With a scissor, make a cut in the strip at one end, leaving the other side intact, as we do in the case of pom-poms. The intact end is glued onto the rim of the jar such that the shredded end would represent the hair of the monster.

To illuminate the jar, battery operated candles can be placed inside the jar. The surrounding light can be switched off to allow the jar to glow for a spooky look.
