2007 NBA Finals

Despite wrapping up the most successful regular season in franchise history, there is a general sense around the league that the Toronto Raptors have accomplished nothing. 21 seasons of (mostly) underachievement doesn’t help. 1 playoff series win and 7 playoff series losses don’t help. Zero best-of-seven playoff series wins definitely won’t help. Consecutive playoff series losses as the higher seed……well, you get the picture! Are you still reading? Because that’s all the negativity you’re…

The Chicago Bulls handled their business (barely) against the short-handed Cleveland Cavaliers Wednesday night. The undermanned Cavs weren’t able to overcome being without three of their starters against Chicago, eventually falling to the Bulls 106-94 in Quicken Loans Arena. The loss snapped Cleveland’s nine-game winning streak at The Q. “I had a lot of combinations out there that guys were not used to playing with, but I just thought we competed,” Cavs head coach Tyronn Lue said. “We played…

In the editing notes for Tobermory by Lewis Hayes, you have successfully set up your characters and location from the first few scenes. However, I have a couple of concerns with the writing (repetition, grammar, readability), format (scene breakdown style), structure (montage, scene selection, conflict), and scenes (repetition, formatting). There is a suitable structure and the narrative flows in appropriate sequential order. The tone of your film upon initial read is engaging. Appropriate…

benefit myself on the test. Before I saw it coming these finals came along, and those endless frustrating study sessions would come to an end. I had several exams from different subjects that I was worried about, but I was not nearly as worried about them as my math final. In the end of these exams I did pass my final exams with a fairly decent percentage although, I had that one final exam to worry about and that was the math final. My math final was on a friday which made it hard because it…

This method was also important in order to determine if there were any cause-effect correlations between the characters ' behaviors and their deaths. Alongside "circumstances of murder", I also made sure to denote who the final survivor of each film was. The criteria for a "final survivor" is the character who, out of the targeted demographic is the last character standing and has some sort of confrontation with the villain at the climax of the…

Horror has many sub-genres, while Jaume Collet-Serra’s House of Wax (2005) can be called a horror film, it may easily be classified as a slasher film. Slasher films typically revolve around a twisted serial killer molded by adversity faced throughout life. They usually target young, attractive adults in desolate areas. Throughout the movie, Jaume Coller-Serra effectively uses these common characteristics in his film along with a few others. After 1978 people began to view horror films…

In Django, the film displays the law enforcement’s failure to enforce any moral or lawful act early in the film and this scene sets the tone for the rest of the film. The scene begins right after Shultz rescues Django and they arrive in Daughterly, Texas. Shultz kills the sheriff of the county in the street. Afterwards, the marshal and the militia of the town come to the bar in order to arrest and/or kill Shultz and Django if they resist. Instead, Shultz proves that he is beyond the law and…

This paper engages on different aspects of the movement and researches what has, and is going in the United States with this movement. This paper covers the meaning of “right to die” and different terms used…

But the cinema of the body implies also a social gest. We see this in how people react to the monk: sometimes with indifference, but other times they stare, try to interact with him, see him as a performer. We are not the only seers in the film, the people in it are voyeurs of something they do and see everyday (walking), but the fact that the monk’s walking is at a different temporality breaks the sensory motor link and affects us: makes us think the unthought. The ceremonialization of the body…
