Entourage – The Movie
Brief Overview: The Entourage movie is a spinoff movie of a very successful HBO television series that follows the life of a superstar actor, Vincent Chase and his friends Turtle, Eric, Drama, and his agent Ari Gold as they attempt their toughest challenge ever, Vince not only starring but also directing in a summer blockbuster movie. There are lots of twists and turns for them to finish the movie on time, on budget, and to be the best movie of the summer, but that is nothing this band of friends can’t accomplish. This movie is the perfect ending to a legendary television show and fans of the show are going to leave the movie wanting more.
Entourage - The Movie Coming off of eight very successful and award-winning seasons from 2004-2011, HBO’s Entourage was for many, including myself, one of the greatest television shows of all time. This show was the epitome of the desired life by many of being famous with the abundant amount of money, cars, girls, drugs, and fame that the chatacters are exposed to throughout the show, which is why the show had such a huge fan base, especially from the male audience. The premise of the show was following the life of actor superstar Vincent Chase (Adrian Grenier) and his “entourage” of friends Eric Murphy (Kevin Connolly), Johnny ‘Drama’ Chase (Kevin Dillon), Turtle (Jerry Ferrara), and agent Ari Gold (Jeremy Piven) as they navigate through the many ups and downs that are associated with life in Hollywood, California. One of the most intriguing aspects of this show is that not only does the plot focus on the life of Vince but it also follows on the lives of the other main character’s troubles and triumphs in their lives. This show was produced by Mark Wahlberg with the ideal of recreating the life and paying tribute to all the struggles that he went through in becoming an established and well known actor

    In The Breakfast Club, there is an overwhelming idea of the future. The students only think about one week in advance before their Saturday detention. They never thought about what their actions could do to their future. For example, Brian did not seem to grasp that because he was so ready to kill himself over one failed assignment. He was thinking in the now and not in the future. A noticeable moral of this film is: Parents should actually raise their children. In this film, all of the parents have minimal screentime, but it is still evident that they totally suck. Claire’s parents use her as a tool of revenge against one another, and her parents fail to see the effect it has on her. Andrew’s parents push him too hard, and as a result he is…

    The present paper aims to analyse two occupations performed by Evelyn in the film The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel (Madden, 2011). According to Townsend and Polatajko (2007), occupation is “an activity or set of activities…given value and meaning by individuals” (p. 19) and occupational performance is defined as the “actual execution of…an occupation” (p. 26). The two concepts are emphasised in the Canadian Model of Occupational Performance and Engagement (CMOP-E), which was developed to clarify the relevant factors affecting performance of occupations (O’Toole, 2011). The CMOP-E identifies self-care, productivity and leisure as three different areas of occupation and conceptualises occupational performance as “the dynamic interaction of person,…
