Based on my analysis of dell’s finances and competitors, we have declined in revenue by about 6% year-over-year to 14 billion in the company’s quarter ending in July of 2014. Securities and exchange commission by Dell holding Inc. that owns Dell is the way we found out about this new. Dell’s revenues was up however in the company’s fiscal year ending in January 2015, the revenue went up about 5%.

“The Birth of a Nation” by D.W. Griffith was the first blockbuster film in American history. It was an amazing feat of cinema and nailed its place in history. However, while “The Birth of a Nation” boasts these achievements it is without question one of the most racist movies of all time. This movie not only show glorifies the Ku Klux Klan as heroes of America, but also shows the misrepresentation of black people and the role that black people will have in films. Looking back at the time the…

Times have changed. I have seen E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial (1982) a few times before in the past and always thought it was more aimed toward kids than adults, nevertheless, rewatching it again with newer eyes I have come to appreciate its cinematic value. The whole aspect of the film is done in such a skillful, clever, and humble way that focuses on family, friendship, and love. Given the fact that this is science fiction and dealing with a mysterious UFO landing, there is some level of anxiety…

However, in the year 2006, they all combined their efforts and flawlessly co-starred in the blockbuster the Devil Wears Prada. In this hit comedy-drama, Hathaway stars as Andy Sachs, a quirky graduate student looking for a job in journalism.

brutal, with raw and intensely personal recounts of life in the Otriad. As informative and influential as Tec’s work is, the plot of Zwick’s film strays from it in drastic ways, sadly to it’s detriment. Comparing Tec’s scholarly work and Zwick’s blockbuster film is like comparing a Da Vinci masterpiece to a child’s finger painting.

With visual effects and a compelling plot far beyond its day, it pushed the film industry to become more innovative, resulting in the multimillion dollar blockbusters we are so accustomed to today. Where did it all begin? Was it the genius of George Lucas alone or did he receive some help along the way? The answer is a combination of the two: although George Lucas’ Star Wars seemed to be completely…
