I Dream in Cinema
The traditional film, "talkie", or "movie" is filmed and projected at 24 frames per second (fps). What you see in a theatre is actually a series of still images, twenty four of them zooming past your eye at high speed, bouncing light into your retinas, where the single images remain for a split of a second. The brain interprets the difference between these frames as fluid motion, but it is not reality, this is an optical illusion, otherwise known as Persistence of Vision. Ancient Roman philosophers, Lucretius and Aristotle have suggested that Persistence of Vision mimics the way that we perceive dreams, the way that objects, shapes and images that we see during our waking life are seen again in our dreaming one.

Villainess Review: Luna Fogle (The Man in the Window)
As a huge fan of Lifetime film I have really enjoyed that these films have become more star-studded as of late. By that, I mean the names and faces have become more recognizable and mainstream. Usually, the average Lifetime movie's cast consists of actors who have done other Lifetime films, and also a few Hallmark movies--usually because both networks film their telefilms in Canada. However, we are seeing bigger names start to appear.
