SPONSORED LINKS It is a truth, universally acknowledged, that the 1970s was the greatest era in cinema history. My blatant plagiarizing of Jane Austen aside, I think we can all agree that the 70s gifted us with some of the finest movies ever made. American cinema shone with auteur driven projected unaffected by studio influence, until the ‘Heaven’s Gate’ debacle in 1980 changed everything. Francis Ford Coppola was at his very best, giving some of the greatest cinematic achievements in ‘Apocalypse Now’, ‘The Conversation’ and The Godfather Part I & Part II....

In the years spanning 1947-1957, there was no greater Director than Elia Kazan. Known as a bi-coastal director, he enjoyed extraordinary success on Broadway as well as film, guiding some of the greatest plays to fruition, sometimes bringing them to the screen.

SPONSORED LINKS Romance oftentimes comes in packages. Either bundled with ample drama, rib-tickling comedy or intriguing fantasy. The premise of this article relies on the very fact of how there don’t exist any mainstream romance-only TV shows anymore and that the romance is always a part of the deal, if not the deal itself. To pick the best romantic TV shows from the ocean of sitcoms, thrillers, suspense, and fantasy TV shows is an arduous task and it is next to impossible to be both exhaustive and just in choosing TV shows from the pile of infinity....

Mötley Crüe has been synonymous with the wild rock-and-roll lifestyle since the 1980s and is still considered one of the greatest heavy metal bands of all time.

Their live performances have also been the stuff of legend, with antics like drummer Tommy Lee’s entire drumkit suspended above the crowd during the concert....

‘The Tree of Life’ is a story of a man, Jack O’Brien (Sean Penn), an architect in Houston, reflecting upon his childhood years in Waco, Texas. Aside from the show-stopping “Origins of Universe” sequence in the film’s first act, ‘Tree of Life’ is basically a kaleidoscopic assemblage of Jack’s poetic remembrances and dream-like contemplations about his relationship with his mother, father and brothers when he was young. It’s quite apparent that through ‘Tree of Life’, Malick is opening a window into his own childhood — though he lends a magical quality to his relatable story....

SPONSORED LINKS There is something I find very inviting in films that take a risk such as this, wherein the narrative itself is experimented upon, and the overall experience is made fresh. Telling a story in reverse is something that’s (unsurprisingly) quite difficult to do. Take ‘Betrayal’ (1983), the Ben Kingsley starrer which was one of the first films that brought this style to the attention of the general public. It tells the tale of an extramarital romance that begins with the lovers all broken up, maintaining a formal distance between them as they talk to each other in a café, and works its way back to when the romance was at its budding stage....
