Blockbuster

George Miller's Mad Max Fury Road has proven there is still hope for summer blockbusters. Even though it has been over 3 decades since Mad Max Beyond Thunderdome, the movie doesn't falter. In fact, since it has had 3 decades to hone and refine itself; Fury Road is better than its predecessors. The fantastical, gritty Mad Max has more depth than a surface analysis would expect. The choreography, directing, style, plot, acting and effects all combine together to create a masterpiece, or at the…

"Honestly, I am offended by how many times I hear 'women in combat ' and 'lowering standards ' used in the same sentence. True, the average man is physically stronger than the average woman" (CNN paragraph 8). "Just look at the plot in the blockbuster movie "The Hunger Games." Females and males are expected to kill each other without as much as a hiccup of hesitation"(Fox News paragraph 7).

Throughout these weeks’ chapter readings, I realized Jennifer Government contains many elements that can directly be connected to the novel Brave New World, the famous Shakespearean tragedy, Macbeth and the blockbuster film, Divergent. In Brave New World, by Aldous Huxley, a majority of the world’s countries have come together to form one big country called the World State, in a similar manner to the United States in Jennifer Government. The citizens of both worlds are valued on their capability…

“Our Trip to Africa” is without question, remarkably a unique form of artistic candor. Kubelka is an incredibly gifted visionary; whose passion and lust for film is evident in each and every one of his pieces. Known, however not for his Box Office Blockbusters, but for a more elegant and ‘vanilla” approach to his work in relation to filmmaking. His vision for this particular experimental genre is refreshing for the sheer fact of the simplicity it demonstrates. The premise of the film is a…

Normally, on my Pops b-day, I recount some crazy adventure or some story the reinforces his badassness but, this year, I decide to tell a story about my Dad’s exceptional patience with an 8 year old’s fear. My dad is not known for his…
