Common sense media review a movie called the Storks. The movie highlights the bringing of newborn babies to their parents, except that the babies are delivered by Storks. Common sense included the proper age at which one should let their young child view the film. The recommended age for this movie was stated as six plus- those who are six or older. Besides the age rating, other aspects are reviewed such as positive messages that the movie contains as well as the type of language that it contains. It seems directed towards educated parents of the younger generation. The review implied that the readers would hold interest towards and have already viewed the trailer.

    I both disagree and dislike the articles “How Hollywood Killed Death” by Alexander Huls and “You Can Do Anything: Must Every Kids' Movie Reinforce the Cult of Self-Esteem?” by Luke Epplin. I believe fake deaths can be an effective story telling technique, and often fit the plot. Additionally, I disagree with Epplin’s complaints about the “magic feather syndrome” so commonly found in children’s movies. He comes across as if he would prefer a world where all children’s movies encourage kids to simply face the harsh realities of life and do nothing to improve their standing. I believe both articles come across as condescending and overly criticize the movie industry.…

    The label “lone wolf” is a construct of the media and of radical political actors themselves, rather than a social science concept or legal terminology. Lone wolf terrorism has evolved into a phenomenon which can be credited by the media’s perception. A lone wolf terrorist is just that, alone, so the conflation of lone wolves with small cells or “lone wolf packs,” which similarly lack hierarchical organizational structure, confuses, rather than clarifies, definitional and conceptual…

    Sensationalists believed that on January 1, 2000, all technology would fail, because nothing had been programmed to go past the year 1999. It was predicted that water, electricity, and telephone systems would fail, aircrafts would crash, nuclear plants would meltdown, and all normal life would come to a cataclysmic halt. Many people and religious groups hold beliefs of the world ending in mass destruction, and these predictions played on their beliefs and fears. However, January 1, 2000 passed with very little disturbance. There were some cases of certain technology displaying the year 1900 instead of 2000, but otherwise, life continued normally.…

    Introduction Capital punishment has been a topic of much debate for many years with very differing points of view. Much of the research done about capital punishment is based on the public opinions, making it an issue close to peoples morals and idealistic thought. The news media then caters to the leaning of the public’s morals. In dealing with capital punishment, the news media tends to focus on three different popular mentalities; the ‘eye for an eye’ mentality, punishment should fit the crime mentality, and the declaring it inhumane treatment of individuals mentality. By focusing on these three views, the media has been able to help inform the public according to the prevailing view of the individual case.…

    The movie is more for the people that don’t really care about the actual storyline, and just want to see a good film. However, if you do want to see a biblically correct movie, it is not for you and you will be disappointed. The movie can almost be insulting to some Christians, by how much the creators of this movie deviated from the storyline of the Bible, and that is the main reason why I don’t like the movie. So if you’re like me and what to see somewhat of a biblically correct movie that is still good, do yourself a favor and don’t watch this, or you can watch it and see what I’m saying for…

    Tim Burton’s beautifully haunting production of ‘Edward Scissorhands’ introduces our protagonist, represented by Johnny Depp, and explores the fictional story of this solitary boy with an unfortunate seemingly threatening oddity, being thrust into a world where he is glaringly blatant in the midst of the suburbs. Despite his intimidating exterior, it is almost immediately exposed that Edward is just an innocent, childlike soul, intent on serving others. The purpose of this film was to delve into the threatening manner of suburbia and its dismissive views on originality. Burton shattered cliches and stereotypes of who ‘monsters’ are by introducing the monster in the form of townspeople. As Tim Burton’s individual ordeals are translated into…
