Spring Breakers, A Wonderful Waste of Time and Money A phrase that is meant to excite people has never sounded so disturbing. “Spring break,” said by grill-wearing, rapping drug-dealer “Alien” is so repetitive and serial-killer-esque, yet it’s sadly the most interesting detail about this Harmony Korine movie. Once getting past the fact that Vanessa Hudgens, Selena Gomez, and Ashley Benson are a part of this awful creation, you unfortunately end up furious about the boring, lacking, sloppy, and excruciatingly painful storyline of this pointless and sickening drama/action-adventure. The plot, which is arguably absent, begins with best friends Candy, Brit, Faith, and Cotty, portrayed by Vanessa, Ashley, Selena, and Rachel Korine respectively, who aim for an unforgettable spring break adventure, and they sure get one. After robbing a restaurant to pay for their spring break adventures, they get thrown in jail only to be bailed out by James Franco’s “Alien.” They soon realize their hunger for a thrilling and exciting spring break will get them in all kinds of sticky situations, which may or may not

    Superbad, one of the most iconic bromance films of all time. When asked what this movie is about, many say two things; at first glance, on the surface it seems like this film is all about going through hell just to get laid and to get alcohol, but I’d argue that there is a deeper part of the story, it is about two bros dealing with some “relationship problems”. Those two bros are Seth and Evan. Seth and Evan have been life long friends and are now coming to the end of their senior year of high school and are preparing for college life. The only problem is that they are both going to different colleges, and are experiencing some separation anxiety as if they were in a romantic relationship.…

    Crime is a revolving door that continues to be open by those who feel the need to take matters into their own hands. Everyone in society has either witness, experience, or read some sort of crime throughout their lives. According to Donald Black, people who believe their rights would not be justified within our criminal justice system, are more likely to take charge in their own matters. Therefore, incidents where people become victims of a crime, would sometimes lead to breaking the law in order to get vengeance. Black refers this theory as “The Theory of Self-Help.”…
