If you were absent last class, please complete the reflection assignment posted below!
1990's-2000's:
As you read in those annoying packets, since 1975 and the rise of the blockbuster film, much of contemporary film is, of course, blockbuster after blockbuster. At least that's what the major film companies would like to see. A healthy alternative (independent cinema) has grown up alongside of the mainstream films Hollywood studios promote.
If you'd like to learn about film from the 1990's, take a look at this article. It'll walk you through anything you think you might have missed.
Here are a few clips. Watch as many as you'd like.

From there information concerning your own lifetime (2000's) are typical style of the 1990's, although we are seeing more independent cinema. Info about 2000's. Look, here comes 3D again! Guess the film companies aren't doing so hot economically... Of particular note during the past decade is the threat from home entertainment (TiVo, Netflix, the internet, for example), the fall of the two towers in 2001 (9-11), and social networking (like Facebook...never heard of it) used to promote everything.
And finally, although the decade is far from over, a tribute to 2010's. Here's an article about your own pop culture in film. Take a look!
We are done with film studies. Next year we will look at more film, focusing on the world, as opposed to America. Have a great summer!
