Academy Award for Best Actor

At the first of the movie, I thought Ryan Phillippe was one of the best cop that you will meet because he shown great levels of integrity but he wasn’t. When he seen the bad action of his fellow office, Matt Dillon, he didn’t want nothing to do with it. I believe riding with him is kind of like that movie Training Day with Denzel Washington. But he showed so many good actions in the first part of the movie, that I was like this guy is just an all-around good guy. He done the right thing and got…

During the Holocaust, Jews were taken away from their homes by the Nazis and put into concentration camps, in which they were treated brutally. The Holocaust left many victims dead and remains as an example that something like the Holocaust shall never happen again. Life is Beautiful, a movie about a family in a concentration camp, is an inaccurate representation of the…

John Wayne plays a stubborn, but strong willed man in Red River. Playing Thomas Dunson came off as one of the more believable performances. Wayne uses his voice much more than his body. Psychically he is a bit stiff, but that may be because he’s hardly moving around in the film. His expression are smooth just like his voice, all of the emotion the character is feeling comes out in the way he speaks and looks. Once things start to pick up, you can almost feel the difference in character because…

Monster Sarah looked up at the doctors as they watched her. Her fingers slipped into the hospital gown as she watched them. They were whispering to each other. Her parents stood with their backs to her as they talked to a female doctor. Sarah rubbed the soft fabric between her fingers, trying to relax. She wished she knew what they were telling her parents, it didn’t look encouraging. “Sarah…” His voice whispered in her head. Goosebumps ran up her arms as she smiled. Sarah could feel him…

A Few Good Men The film A Few Good Men by Rob Reiner is the best example of the judicial drama, a very popular genre in American cinema. It is a dynamic, uninterrupted even for a second, detective intrigue with a great actor's play: one of the best performances of Tom Cruise, Demi Moore, Kevin Bacon and Jack Nicholson. The movie, edited in 1992, contains some ethical and moral issues related to the judicial system and immoral army orders, which turn into a crime against humanity. On the one…

This action in itself would withstand a constitutional challenge since roadblocks such as these are allowed in most states. The length of time officer Edwards interrogates Jane might be questionable. Considering that he notes no signs of intoxication of any…

Martin, Malcolm, and Me written by JD Lawrence displayed a remarkable production. JD Lawrence and his team did an impressive job in one hour to show the play. There are multiple things to discuss like the acting, directing, scenic, playwriting, costume, lighting, and sound design. The first thing I looked at when I walked in the theatre was how the lighting had been arranged. When we sat down and the play started the main focus is on the stage. All the lights pointed to the stage while the…
