characterize the Hitchcock film. His 1954 film Rear Window operates by implicating the viewer in the narrative as it presents a visual analysis on the nature of human curiosity and interactions.

The cinema, according to Laura Mulvey, derives its pleasure from “scopophilia,” where…

I heard a story recently about Paul Larson. He was a contestant on the television game show called “Press Your Luck”, in the mid 1980’s. Larson was notable for winning over $100,000 in cash and prizes. Up to that point he won the largest one day total ever won on a game show.

The Murder in Hosier Lane The cool wind blows through the abandoned alley ways of Melbourne. 3 am, March the 5th and not a soul could be heard. The dark lanes were accompanied by dull, flickering street lights making for a sinister atmosphere. Not a car nor a person in sight. Then a loud, gut wrenching scream broke all silence. This was followed by the sound of echoing footsteps fleeing the scene of Hosier Lane. Moments later the sounds of screeching sirens filled up the dark atmosphere. * *…

“I was at the wrong place, at the wrong time officer! I didn’t do it! SOMEBODY HELP!” The echoes of my last cries are still ringing in my head as I try to sleep in my first night at jail. I truly didn’t do it, but it was impossible to prove. I was near where the murder took place, I have no alibi, and I was at the scene, holding the bloody knife that was used for the murder. There are no other suspects, and I have nothing to prove that it wasn’t me. I stared at the gray slab that was to be my…

Thump! As Toby threw yet another punch, collecting Max right across the already broken and bleeding face, “Where is Ron!!” screamed Toby as if there was no one in the world to hear. Max slowly got up from the heavy beating, his red stained hands holding his broken nose as the blood rushed like a raving, torrent waterfall. In pain, he clenches his fists together and blindly throws punches, only to fall to the ground again waiting for another streak of pain to hit. “STOP, STOP!!! It is me you…
