Why Stunt People Don't Get Oscars

Stunt doubles are some of the most vital crew members in movie scenes, yet they don't have their own Oscar category. The stunt coordinator works closely with the director to intricately plot out how stunt sequences weave into the whole film. There have only been two occasions when stunt people have been acknowledged at the Oscars for their work. INSIDER looks into the debate why stunt people don't get Oscars. 

Why is Robert Downey, Jr. the Highest Paid Avenger?

Robert Downey Jr. (RDJ) was the only person on The Avengers cast (excluding perhaps Samuel L. Jackson) who can consistently put butts in seats. None of the other Avengers are A-list stars and their side projects (excluding Chris Evans turns as Captain America, which is technically an ancillary project of the Avengers franchise and Jeremy Renner's role in the most recent Jason Bourne sequel) don't earn enough money for them to be able to negotiate an RDJ-sized share of the pie. Robert Downey Jr. is the star of The Avengers. Period. Without him (and the next sequel may discover this to its detriment) the franchise really doesn't hold its own and the grosses begin to drop. As such, the producers are faced with the very real possibility that if they didn't pay him what he wants, he could easily walk away and they'd potentially lose HUNDREDS of millions (Yes...Hundreds) of dollars. If or when Jeremy Renner and Scarlet Johansson (the only two in the Avengers pantheon w...

Blair/PCC Graduate John Singleton sets standard in Urban Filmmaking

Article by Mistah Wilson Born during the peak of the civil rights era, Film Director John Singleton has served as a prime example for making it out the hood, while not forgetting about the hood. Singleton had a vision for cinematography and pursued it. Having attended Blair High School (Class of 86') in Pasadena as well as taking classes as Pasadena City College, the Boyz N the Hood director was on a path to greatness. He got his start interning on the Arsenio Hall show in 1991. Meanwhile, he was writing the script for Boyz n the Hood, a movie that went on to be recognized in the National Film Registry as being "culturally significant". We took a look back at John Singleton's career and from a millennial's perspective, he's directed some of our favorite movies over the past 20+ years. Being an alumni of two Pasadena-based institutions, we are inspired by the life and career of Film Director John Singleton. Below are a few points and movies directed by John Sin...

5 Inspirational Sports Movies Your Kids Should Watch

Movies are a great way to send a message. Whether for good, bad, or plain ol' entertainment, you can count on Hollywood to deliver. But, even though explicit movies have their respective audience, Hollywood manages to bring us inspiration through films like Coach Carter , Freedom Writers, The Blind Side, etc... In tha early-mid 2000's, I've noticed a trend of inspirational movies hitting tha box office in January. More times than not, tha inspirational flick usually has to do with some type of sport. Personally, I think it's a great angle. Tha dynamics surrounding sports and how they are played demonstrate values and principles that are useful in everyday life. Team work, dedication, humility. In today's world, children don't stand a chance. Please excuse my figurative speech, but the negative influence of mainstream media is not giving our children viable options. They need something that encourages them to work IN their best interest. This is why it's go...
