Think back at how satisfying that moment of eureka must have been. Ever since that day, music has found a comfortable and exciting niche in the home of motion pictures which should really be referred to musical motion pictures or motion pictures with musical accompaniment.

Charlie Chaplin and Buster Keaton made the first popular silent films by utilizing music as if it were their dialogue. Music accelerated the rhythm of the film, accentuated the comedic beats, it lingered on the sadness and it wrapped every emotional scene in a nice little bow.

Through time, some movies have seen a tremendous amount of success more because of their music than the acting or directing or anything else for that matter. A great example is one of Steven Spielberg's earlier efforts Jaws. "It was the music that really made the movie... every time you heard the babam babam, you could imagine the shark biting off the swimmer's leg. It was ingenious." Another favorite horror film that used music in such a way was Alfred Hitchcock class "Psycho."

Ennio Morricone, is one of the most prolific musical composers for film. He has been nominated for the academy award over eleven times, but he has never received the gold. His films are characterized by a strong sense of music that fills in the gap wherever the writing lacks. In Once Upon a Time in the West, Sergio Leone recounts how Morricone composed a unique piece for each character and how that music would play in different variations every time the master character would enter the scene.

Morricone is also responsible for the music in Once Upon a time in America, The Good, the Bad and the Ugly, Malena.

John Williams is Morricone's American equivalent and while the previous concentrated on sweeping love themes, Williams had sensibilities leaning towards the action-adventure genres. He composed the well-remembered themes for Indiana Jones, Superman, and Star Wars.

In more contemporary times, films like American Beauty, Million Dollar Baby or Machiavelli Hangman (http://www.hangmanmovie.com) have offered a new trend of musical flavors ranging from simple acoustics to just drums creating a strong new breath of originality. Whatever the case may as long as filmmakers understand and use the power of music, their films will only be better off because of it.

Everyone in the world wants to be an actor, and that's why there's so much competition in the field. There are thousands and thousands of headshots flying around and photo shoots and auditions, and to what purpose? Being cast for a script that was written by an amateur. A part in a film that will go no further than a few film festivals.

Actors don't really have a choice, because they need to accept whatever roles are offered to them to get experience. They have to nod and accept any project that comes their way, even if it's the worst thing they've ever read.

Of course, there are those occasions when our dear thespians go to those auditions and completely fall in love with the script. "I went in to audition because I heard about this project and the synopsis was really interesting. As soon as I got the script and I read the few words, I was totally into it. Then when I finished reading just those two pages... I knew I had to do this, I was in shock and in love with the writing," says Martin Lobe, who auditioned for the role of Donald in Machiavelli Hangman (http://www.hangmanmovie.com).

"You go to hundreds of auditions and you hope you'll hit that one gold mine... it's not about the money as long as the writing is so good," offers Martin James.

Having said all this, one would think that it's definitely easier to work behind the camera than in front of it. Filmmakers make up their own destiny, they write or they find a good script and they go out actively looking for actors. Actors, on the other hand, have to simply wait there to be picked.

Casting Directors feel that it's not so negative. If an actor is good, filmmakers will seek him out, it's just a matter of polishing your tools and you will be found eventually. "Think of it as a more passive-aggressive approach to starting a career. You have to smile, and let them make the first step."

While many would argue that Machiavelli Hangman or Pulp Fiction was all about the writing and it made the acting what it is, others claim that the acting made those films what they are. For instance, Lost In Translation would not have become the brilliant film that it is if it wasn't for Bill Murray's improvisational genius. The script is said to have been originally only 15 pages long and Murray had to fill in the gaps. That's a lot of filling!

There is also a certain masochistic element to being an actor. You have to get used to getting rejected and you have to use it to get stronger. The rejection has to become a pleasure that you can turn into energy. "Some actors go in expecting to be rejected. They get a certain high from it," Bob Fern-Jacobs, after auditioning for Lord of the Rings.

Actors, keep at it, get better. Build your experience, and they will come!

The large ape who is captured and brought to civilization to meet its tragic ends. Jackson was always interested in retelling the story of the love story between the large creature and Ann Darrow (played by Naomi Watts).

After his great success from the Lord of the Ring trilogies, Peter Jackson dove right back into filmmaking with this great and popular character in the history of cinema. There had been so many films made based on the original that it was difficult to know where to begin and where to end and still keep the audience on its toes. After a long casting period, the main players were chosen and moved to New Zealand to begin production. Adrian Brodey and Jack Black were the first to step on the boat.

Jackson completed principal photography a few months ago in New Zealand he is now working with his team of editors to polish the rough ends. While a trailer was released recently, many people criticized the fact that King Kong was revealed to the audience as opposed to extending the teaser and suspense period.

Recent poles and statistics have shown that the trailers that give away the least amount of information on the film are the one to bring the more people to the theatres. "And it's quite understandable. People go to see what has been marinating in their imaginations... With King Kong, the trailer doesn't leave much room for anything else. We know what he looks like and how he moves. I think that this was a very bad move on part of the marketing team," says Brian Copote.

Other films that are said to be released around the same time as King Kong are Machiavelli Hangman (http://www.hangmanmovie.com) and Wedding Season with Nicole Kidman. Whether these two smaller films will be completely crushed by the size of Jackson's mega-motion picture is to be seen.

So far, Peter Jackson, has enjoyed a great amount of following for the Lord of the Rings mainly because there was such a huge fan base of the book and there had never been a movie made from the books. In this case, King Kong was never based on any novels and it has been shown on the silver screen several times. This may or may not be a handicap but one thing's for sure. It will certainly not equal the $300,000,000 success of the Lord of the Rings.

Yes, the story does contain something about vampires, but beyond the pointed teeth little is talked about. Essentially you have a government created infliction, a bunch of hunted down infected people and an evil facist government that sees germs and disease as the no. 1 enemy.

In walks Violet, yup, she's infected. Yup, she's mightly pissed off. Yup, she's on a rampage, hell it'd be a dull movie if she overcame her issues and took up knitting.

This film is everything that the disappointing Aeon Flux wasn't. While Aeon showed how empty a film like this can be, Ultraviolet shows how attention to detail makes the tired old concept of "ultimate assasin turns on their maker and seeks revenge" can actually create something unique, fresh and exciting.

Directed by the man responsible for Equilibrium, expect some kick ass martial arts/gun fights. If there's one thing that man knows, it is how to make pulling a trigger and kicking a barrel load of ass look like hot steamy sex on the big screen.

There's also all manner of cool gadgets, inventions and technology within the film that just simply aren't talked about or explained. You know, that's a good thing. The idea the audience need some Star Trek style technobabble to explain away every plot device is a moronic one, I've no care for how this shit works, just that it looks cool when it does. Watch the film, you'll see what I mean.

The dialogue is... well... forgettable. A series of groans, grunts and traded insults about who isn't going to leave the room alive and such.

The acting is the same, Oscars won't be won, but essentially all that is needed are a few snarls and some tension, which Mila Jovovich provides, despite fully expecting "Umbrella corp" to be lurking around the corner, due to similarties between this and the Resident Evil movies.

That isn't to say the movie sucks, it doesn't, like I say I left the theatre saddended that this wasn't Aeon Flux, it should have been: Stylish, sexy, futuristic film about a vengeful assasin with some great set pieces, cool tech and gorgeous sets/costumes.

So, if you like Mila, or just like ass kicking or guns, you won't be disappointed in this movie. Plot is entirely optional (and to be honest I've pretty much already forgotten it).

Rating: 4 out of 5
