Several movies portray a numerous amounts of men not being ready for a relationship just loving women, literally. The Brothers, a film released in 2001 is a decent film demonstrating how young men aren’t ready to settle down, committee to one person, failed marriages and tolerable acting.

I go up, love goes down. I go left, love goes right. I say I'm ready, love says ‘Not yet, Jackson, she dated your father.’ Maybe there is love out there, but it's running from me. I can't keep chasing it.” (Morris …show more content…
His dreams caused him only to have “mates” because he was scared to be committed. I expected in the movie that this crazy women who kept coming out in his dreams would lead them to the alter. However, his friend was the one who was going to be at the top of the wedding cake, but he began to have second thoughts. Thus, causing his fiancé to go crazy wanting to get revenge, thus, leading the ex-fiancé to become the girl from the dream.
A naïve part of the film was when Derrick became upset because his wife Sheila (Tamala Jones) doesn’t give him what he wants. Leading their marriage to end because he couldn’t believe his wife’s morals. However, time passes and they put aside their differences and get back together it just makes things go back and forth that was confusing. As well, her acting was horrible in the role she played.

    As the Cold War waging between the Soviet Union and the United States heightened, the perceived threat posed by the Communists became known as the Red Scare. The spread of Communism and the possibility of an international nuclear war invaded the minds of Americans with a sense of constant threat. Literature, films, and other products of the warring period reflected these fears of a Communist invasion and an annihilation from atomic warfare. To protect the American culture and values, the nation adopted a nationalistic ambience that was imposed on all the people living in the United States; using social media and other methods of propaganda, the government was able to impose their ideologies onto their citizens.

Similarly, recent entertainment media have also highlighted uncommitted sexual encounters found in films such as: Hooking Up which was released in 2009 that depicts the chaotic romantic and sexual lives of adolescent characters, and No Strings Attached, released in 2011 that featured the uncommitted elements of uncommitted sex, between two friends who attempt to negotiate a sexual nonromantic component of their relationship.

    Scream Factory broadens its horizons a bit by releasing the Blu-ray debut of the Oscar-winning dark comedy “Death Becomes Her” in a Collector’s Edition. Although it definitely fits into the supernatural realm, many would argue Robert Zemeckis’s 1992 hit is a little tame to be released under Shout Factory’s horror umbrella. Either way, it merits the extra special care it gets from the company. A star-studded cast headed up by Bruce Willis, Goldie Hawn, and Meryl Streep all give elegantly wicked performances based on a story by Martin Donovan (“The Courtship of Eddie’s Father”) and David Koepp (“Jurassic Park,” “Panic Room”).…
