Film Response It’s always hard to pick a single favorite movie‚ because there are so many good ones. If I had to pick a favorite it would be a toss up between Gladiator‚ and Old School.

In my opinion Gigli had a bad plot‚ bad acting‚ and was to long. I recently have seen the Client which was writer by John Grissim. The Client was originally

after being killed by a bolt of lightning‚ recounts the way he blackmailed his classmates into contributing to his literary magazine to get into the college of his dreams. While that is the basic synopsis‚ the movie is much more complex than this. It’s definitely not the typical high school movie we are used to see.

Date rape is not a rare incident that only happens in isolated situations. In fact‚ surveys indicate that in 84% of rape cases‚ the victim knew the attacker‚ and 57% of rapes occurred on dates (Warshaw 11). However‚ what is even more surprising than these high statistics is that most incidents of date rape go unreported. Several theories exist that try to explain this phenomenon. For example‚ many women may refuse to believe that their "friend" raped them. In fact‚ they could eventually convince

I’ve noticed since this film came out that there’s a lot of psychiatric labels getting thrown around about Christine Chubbuck‚ mostly from people who are using the DSM-5 handbook to try to find some sort of inherited illness to blame her actions on‚ especially bipolar‚ aspberger’s and manic depression.

There were a couple of interesting points that struck me while watching the movie. I especially liked the line at the start of the movie "Discipline is not the enemy of enthusiasm". This line is very true. It doesn’t mean that when discipline is established in school‚ the students lose the eagerness to learn. In fact‚ I believe that discipline goes hand
