    A film producer, who doesn’t believe in Christmas, is determined to make the horror film Evil Santa 4, but things go horribly wrong when the real Santa Claus accidentally lands the role. STORY COMMENTS SANTA IN HOLLYWOOD is a family friendly, holiday magical fantasy filled with imagination. The concept is very clever. “Saving Christmas” movies are not new or original to holiday films, but the concept of the real Santa landing a Hollywood role of Evil Santa in a horror film offers a fun twist to a familiar genre. Many universal themes vibrate with the audience regarding the idea of believing in the spirit of Christmas and magic.…

    Adrenaline ran through my veins all day, and Disney references spilling out of my mouth like a broken record in a player. No one else accepted my elation, but I on the other hand, had a countdown down for this jaunt as soon as I heard of it in August. As I sat down on the dirty, sweaty gym floor like the rest of the band, I began to process everything that was happening. In 26 hours, 48 minutes, and 28 seconds, according to my countdown, the entire high school band would be in Orlando, Florida. In four days time, our provincial marching band would be featured marching in a parade in the Magic Kingdom of the happiest place on earth!…

    Satire In Brave New World

    • 982 Words
    • 4 Pages

    Samuel L. Jackson once said, “We’ve come a long way in our thinking, but also in our moral decay.” This quote holds true today as society stays rapidly changing and people become more and more desensitized to the horrors of the world. The line between right and wrong fades and turns to a larger gray area, and many things that happen in society today make us question how we, as a collective people, ended up where we are and how we acquired the customs we have today. Aldous Huxley, in his novel Brave New World, uses a great deal of satire and exaggeration to express his concerns for the society he was born into and bring attention to the problems of moral decay, drug dependency, and brainwashing, among other things, in the world.…

    The National Gallery of Art, a museum that was started with a donation of 8,000 paintings and drawings, is now the home of over 120,000 works of art. The National Gallery of Art was founded by Andrew W. Mellon, who traveled from Pittsburg to Washington to serve as a secretary of the treasury. Because he believed that the United States should have a national museum as great as museums of other nations, Andrew Mellon proposed the idea to President Franklin D. Roosevelt in 1936 and offered his very own artwork and money as funds to construct the museum. This proposal led to the establishment of the National Gallery of Art in 1937 on the National Mall on 4th and Constitution Avenue NW, Washington, DC. After the National Gallery of Art was opened…
