  • Movie Guilty By Suspicion
    493 words
    Are You, Guilty by Suspicion? (Movie Review) The movie Guilty by Suspicion was not your average "action-packed" Matrix. In this movie, David Merrill (played by Robert DeNiro, ) is a successful director. Everything seems to be fine, until his past starts catching up with him. Now he's wanted for possibly being a Communist. As boring as this would sound to the average teenager, I actually liked it. Take for example the scene where he first sees his son. He gave him a brand new toy car and you coul...

  • Lord Saget
    441 words
    Bob Saget is best known as the star of ABC's 'Full House' for eight seasons and as the host of 'America's Funniest Home Videos. ' Unfortunately, these shows were notable to show Lord Saget for who he really is: the dirtiest and, by far, funniest man alive (as anyone who has ever seen his stand-up routine can surely vouch). It was only because of Lord Saget's Godly powers that the Olsen Twins were able to become as popular as they are today; for without the guidance of a supreme being, they would...

  • Great Impact Upon Major Network Television Stations
    1,112 words
    In the past five years, the entertainment industry has been more and more focused on the idea of reality-based entertainment. This vast desire for seemingly live television has made a great impact upon major network television stations. Shows such as MTVs Real World and CBSs Survivor are great indicators of society obsession with drama in a live situation. It seems our infatuation with these shows stems from our desire to focus our attention away from our own tribulations and focus on problems e...

    The Thirteenth Warrior Essay The middle east and western Europe have always been different. This is true now and was true back in the 10th century as this movie shows.

  • Scene Before Sam And Ginger

    Casino, one of the most prolific movies of the mid nineties. This is a movie of betrayal, money, sex, lies, videotape, and yada yada yada. No, seriously, this is an excellent movie.

There is certain parts of the movie were Sam is the narrator and there is others were Nick is the narrator. For instance, the scene were Sam was trying to get his gaming lice...

  • Feminist Examiner Movie Critic

    When I watch this movie, I think of a game of chess. Each team is a different color, like the different nations fighting against each other. With each skilled move, you have to take a chance, but regardless you are going to lose some of your teammates. Just like war, there can be only one winner. In the first scene, the first soldiers to get off the boat get killed, and these would be considered the pawns. In the game of chess, each team has two rows. The first rows are the pawns, the first to d...

  • Shrek's Producers Show
    508 words
    Shrek The animated feature, Shrek, was created recently by Dreamworks productions and released in May of 2001. Although the movie producers did not say that they were going to do everything right in this movie by inserting enlightened messages and changing old stereotypes, I believe, however, that it is apparent that it was their intent to do so, making this film more than a typical fairy tale. The movie makes several references to many other fairy tales in a comical fashion as in the capture an...
