These films of different genres that I am about to write of are here to give you the spook,there's one that would make you sit up and gasp in awe at supernatural events unfolding within the narrative of the film while another might simply make you laugh! So read on and make your pick from these diverse range of films!

This one's not for the faint-hearted or weak-spirited though the film is not even a horror!This film is something that you perhaps may have never watched before on screen for it wreaks out hell, havoc,torture and mayhem from the start to the end.The film in question is the Kelly Reilly and Michael Fassbender starer Eden Lake. A young couple on a weekend romantic getaway confront a gang of violent youngsters only to suffer brutal consequences unleashed on them.

ANALYZING 'CAST AWAY' & 'THE TERMINAL': ON DISCOVERING A COMMON THREAD...

Hi Friends,

As we 'March' onward,let's begin this month's post on the subject of story structures as I take up two such films for discussion that are distinct yet similar in their premise, narrative and plot-line. 

Some of you who are regulars on my blog might recall that I had written a post drawing parallels between The Ten Commandments and Gladiator vis-a-vis their story structure, plot-line and characterization.And this time around the two films That I have earmarked for this study are - Cast Away and The Terminal. 

Offhand,the only link that's obvious and comes to our mind this instant at the mention of these two films is the principal actor-Tom Hanks,who portrays two different characters-Chuck Noland and Viktor Navroski so convincingly that in my view deserved a few awards (especially in Cast Away) for his heart-rending performance.

But hold on...there's more than just the actor that connects the two films if only you trained your eyes to observe, study and decipher story-structures! And as I draw comparisons within the context and framework of their story structures,you'd realize how similar they indeed are at the end of the day.

However,before I make my five point observation on the two films,here's a brief synopsis for the benefit of those who have not watched it yet.
