Speedy

Description

Speedy is a 1928 American silent comedy film directed by Ted Wilde. It stars comedian Harold Lloyd in the title role as a man named Speedy, who is a baseball fanatic and has trouble holding down a job. Speedy becomes determined to save his girlfriend's grandfather's horse-drawn streetcar from being replaced by a modern bus.

The film is notable for its location shooting in New York City, which was unusual for a Hollywood production at the time. The filmmakers had to get permission to film on location, which was a difficult task due to the chaos of the city. They even had to pay off a street gang to clear the area for filming.

Speedy was a critical and commercial success upon its release and remains a classic of silent cinema. The film is notable for its inventive sight gags and Lloyd's physical comedy. It also features cameo appearances by Babe Ruth and other famous baseball players of the era. Speedy was later remade as a sound film in 1949, but the original remains the definitive version.

If you ever thought that Scary Movie 5 is just a sequel of Scary Movie franchise, you may be wrong. Scary Movie 5 is more than a sequel, it's a more likely a reboot. Consider this: new director Malcolm D. Lee (Soul Men, Roll Bounce, Undercover Brother) and new writer, an iconic David Zucker (The Naked Gun, Airplane! – say "Hello!" to 80s' ). To complete the picture there is no less weird cast. Lindsay Lohan and Charlie Sheen stars as themselves while Ashley Tisdale and Simon Rex play main characters Jody and Den, a young married couple in the center of paranormal activity occurring around them. All you need to know about Ashley Tisdale is that she previously starred mostly in TV series: Phineas and Ferb, Hellcats, The Suite Life of Zack and Cody, Kim Possible and Still Standing. As for Simon Rex his filmography sounds more "impressing" besides Scary Movie 4 and 3 he played Rise, Hotel California Pledge This! and King of the Avenue. So, what about the plot, you may ask. There is no surprise, since "lost footage" and "home surveillance-cameras" styled filming became popular, Scary Movie 5 must be done in the similar way. The story begins when Den and Jody move in their new house with a newborn baby. Strange and frightening things begin to happen in the first night of their staying. Not being able to solve the problem, the couple decides to ask professionals for help. The professionals, personalized in Lindsay Lohan and Charlie Sheen arrive and … you may only imagine what a bizarre begins.
