Description

"The Kid" is a silent film from 1921, written, directed, produced and starring Charlie Chaplin. The film tells the story of a single mother who abandons her newborn child, which is later discovered by Chaplin's character, the Tramp. He decides to take care of the baby, raising him as his own son. When the child is around five years old, the mother returns and tries to reclaim her son, but the Tramp fights to keep the child in his care.

"The Kid" was a commercial and critical success, and it is still regarded as one of Chaplin's finest films. The film's themes of poverty, parenthood, and the human condition still resonate with audiences today. The film also marked the debut of child actor Jackie Coogan, who played the young boy.

"The Kid" was Chaplin's first full-length feature, and it cemented his status as one of the greatest filmmakers of the silent era. The film's blend of comedy and drama was revolutionary for its time, and it influenced countless filmmakers who came after Chaplin. Today, "The Kid" is considered a classic of early cinema and an important piece of film history.

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.
