Globalization is the ongoing trend in cinema right now, as international-language films continue to increase in popularity with western audiences. A part of the appeal of global cinema lies in their colloquialisms — the distinct charm in watching the cultural intricacies enacted on screen, and how that seems to paint the same emotions in a more vivid color. Nowhere else is this effect more apparent than in the horror genre. Fans of the horror genre in the west have been privy to the offerings of international cinema for many years....

Art surrounding the allure and strangeness of seductiveness has been around for nearly as long as human existence– one of the earliest known sculptures, the Venus of Willendorf made roughly thirty thousand years ago, is a depiction of a voluptuous woman, and is considered one of the most famous and important works of art in history, but even it has a strangeness and unusual quality about it....

The Toy Story franchise succeeded early on in telling fun stories about what it would be like if a child’s toy had a life of its own. Woody’s world is changed forever when Andy receives Buzz as a birthday present. While Toy Story is filled with originality in its stories and humor, each film had something about it that elevated it to the successful movie it was.
