    “Forks over Knives”, a documentary film directed by Lee Fulkerson released in 2011, examines the career of the physician Cardwell Esselstyn, and the nutritional biochemistry professor Collin Campbell, to suggest that degenerative diseases that affect most of the society could be controlled—or maybe reversed—by avoiding the presence of processed and animal-based foods. In this documentary, Fulkerson promotes a plant-based and a low-fat whole-food diet as a suggestion to combat the number of diseases related to bad eating habits. In addition, “Forks over Knives” supports an analysis made from the 20-year China-Cornell-Oxford Project, which led the findings of Professor Campbell. In his findings, he recommends that diseases such as diabetes, obesity,…

    Journal Entry The movie “A Time to Kill” is similar to the classic novel “To Kill a Mockingbird” as a white lawyer is defending an innocent African American man, but the predominantly white jury is the only obstacle that both men have of getting freedom and receiving true justice. The ending is where the two break apart as Carl Lee Hailey is pronounced innocent and gets to live, while Tom Tom Robinson ( still at court but believes that Atticus will fail) dies while trying to escape prison. Both the novel and film depicts how the justice system in the south is not fair as the jury cannot see beyond the skin colour of the accused. I believe that the actions that Carl Lee Hailey did was justified as the two rapists Billy Ray Cobb and Pete…

    Comparison Paper: Citizen Kane and Pulp Fiction Influences on film making in today’s industry occur often, with new skills and techniques being implemented by daring producers and directors and are typically recycled by the next movie premiere. However, being boldly different is how particular film makers succeed, inspire future artists, and even make their mark on the industry, such as Orson Welles and Quentin Tarantino. Both film makers have been notarized for their accomplishments with not only the use of typical film elements like mise-en-scene and all that encompass cinematography, but also how their films are depicted in terms of narration. The use of flashbacks, nonlinear storylines, and character revelations through dialogue are all…

    This is not something they are used to seeing especially since Marcus has a very strong headed and assertive wife. So, it is clear that throughout each movie the main characters are confronted with unfamiliar traditions within these strange new cultures they are experiencing. Overall, there are many aspects of these cultures such as traditions, power distance, and in and out groups that are new to them and that they must adjust to throughout their time within them. Lastly, I would like to compare romantic relationships within each of these films and how their communication led to either a strong relationship or the termination of their relationship and the stages they went through to get there.…

Despite their segregated nature, the town of Rosewood and Sumner got along for most of their history without any violent incidents. One morning on January 1, 1923 in a predominantly small black town in Levy County, a violent racially motivated crime took place.…

    The demon wants to kill the family's children like it did in the past. I find this movie the scariest because the plot fits so well and there was so much effort put into it. One of the shots was the tilted angle, adds a lot of dramatic tension to shots, and could simplify a supernatural being. For example when the mom opened the door into the basement after hearing a noise, the shot changed from the stairs looking up. Additionally, there was a long shot, used to establish horror and put into perspective how deserted and how the environment looks.…

    Red Eye is quite possibly my favorite non-slasher from Wes Craven. It's full of suspense, dread and in my opinion some of the best acting to come out of 2005. Rachel McAdams and Cillian Murphy carry this film on pure chemistry and intensely memorable performances that linger after viewing, coupled with Wes Craven's growth is a director which is very apparent when viewing this film so soon after some of his earlier works. I hadn't seen this film since the year it was released and was excited to revisit it, wondering if it would hold up and be as good as I remembered it. It was.…

    In the Texas Chainsaw Massacre, both Differential Association theory and General Strain theory could explain the reasons for the killer killing. Differential Association theory is when crime is learned by someone being influenced by another criminal. The theory assumes that the criminal behaviors are learned in ways people learn behaviors that follow the law (Moon, 853). It talks about how a person is more likely to be a part of criminal behaviors when they interact with other people like friends or family members that take part in criminal activity. Interacting with family or friends who tend to violate the law or show those negative behaviors can teach an individual how to act as a criminal and commit crimes (Moon, 854).…
