The Jazz Singer (1927)
In this article, we will be looking at 2019’s book “1001 Movies to See Before You Die” and going through each film in a random order that I have chosen. We will be looking at what constitutes this film to be on the list and whether I think this film deserves to be here at all. I want to make perfectly clear that I won’t be revealing details from this book such as analyses by film reporters who have written about the film in question, so if you want the book itself you’ll have to buy it. But I will be covering the book’s suggestions on which films should be your top priority. I wouldn’t doubt for a second that everyone reading this article has probably watched many of these movies anyway. But we are just here to have a bit of fun. We’re going to not just look at whether it should be on this list but we’re also going to look at why the film has such a legacy at all. Remember, this is the 2019 version of the book and so, films like “Joker” will not be featured in this book and any film that came out in 2020 (and if we get there, in 2021). So strap in and if you have your own suggestions then don’t hesitate to email me using the address in my bio. Let’s get on with it then.

Annie KapurPublished 4 years ago in GeeksHistory’s Most Legendary Magicians
Magic is a performance art that goes back thousands of years. The cups and balls, one of the fundamental tricks of magic that is still being performed today, was also done back in Roman times. The earliest named magician is even older than that, going all the way back to the first dynasties of Egypt. He was a legendary figure named Dedi, or Djedi, who was mentioned in the mythical Westcar Papyrus and performed conjuring effects for Pharaoh Khufu of the 4th Dynasty.
Pradeep PoudelPublished 4 years ago in GeeksA Filmmaker's Review: "Sudden Fear" (1952)
“Sudden Fear” is a film that has its ups and downs, it isn’t perfect and yet it isn’t entirely bad. After the film, I sat and thought for a while about what I could write about the film without giving away too much information and now, I think I’ve found that I can do that. So, there will be no spoilers here and if you really want to see the film then please go ahead. This however, is going to be a mixed review with an on-edge quality for I am still slightly confused about how I am supposed to feel about this movie.

Fans of The Andy Griffith show have the pleasure of currently being able to watch all their favorite old episodes on various cable television stations. These include Decades, METV, and TVLand. There are also some local channels that air this program. If you are like me, you are probably taking notice of things that you did not pay attention to for more than 5 decades. One situation that I only recently took notice of was the fact that there were two different mayors.

Cheryl E PrestonPublished 4 years ago in GeeksA Filmmaker's Guide to: "The Jazz Singer" (1927)
In this chapter of ‘the filmmaker’s guide’ we are going to explore some of the films that have changed our outlook of the possibilities in cinema in some way, shape or form. These can include, but are not limited to: revolutionary cinematography, narratives that challenge the social structure and the common view, trademark styles of auter cinema, brilliant adaptations of novels and other works, films of philosophical value and films that touch our hearts and souls with their incredible underlying messages and morals. Within each of the films in this chapter there is a certain something that makes them special and a certain something that makes them linger long after we have watched them for the first time. Lasting impressions are difficult to create, but I think that the films we will briefly touch on in this chapter are some of the films we will never ever forget.

It was 1977, the year of my birth and a new TV pilot movie was being filmed in California. Not only was it a hit, but spawned one of the longest running and most influential TV shows of the era, whose legacy is still felt in the biggest movie franchise of all time.
Rob TaylorPublished 4 years ago in GeeksGoing back to the 90's
Don't you just miss the 90's? In this post, I'm going to bring us back to the 90's with all nostalgia food, games, and whatnot. I'm sure you miss the 90's as much as I do. Some things we can't even get or experience it anymore nowadays. These are what made our childhood better because we get to experience so many different things while growing up.

Do you know what I do sometimes when I want to watch something but don't feel like watching anything too serious, deserving of too much brain power, or too long?
