Have ever seen the James Bond movies or books before? While watching a movie have you ever thought “I don’t agree with that?” You want to know the opinion on this movie?

All good things must come to an end…or so they say. Of course, James Bond apparently never got that memo – you know, because he seems to get younger and more ambitious with each passing decade. With that said, it’s impossible not to admire the fan base and longevity that this character has built for itself, stemming back to the 1950s. At the same time, it’s also terribly difficult not to admire the stylistic swagger that the current Bond, Daniel Craig, has brought to the ever-growing…

Henry Edward Good, My name. It’s what makes me significant , it’s what makes everyone significant. Without names you would probably be called by numbers, and I don’t want to be called 6,023,937,484! Also if everyone had to call people this I have a feeling the Universe will collapse. Henry, meaning High spirited, will do anything once. I think this is definitely coincidental because when my parents named me this they had no idea what it meant and I think I live up to it because whenever there is…

In the main character’s mind, Rod is a “joke”, but Scarliotti is cool and is a man who can be respected. Rod often fantasizes about…

question we should be asking is it is dangerous enough to be made illegal? There is no evidence that marijuana has a physical dependence like many other drugs do. Some people may argue that it becomes physically addictive, or the smoke is bad for your lungs. We should not be under the impression that marijuana has no harm. The real question we should be asking ourselves now is how much harm is there in marijuana, and does the benefits out way it so much that it should be made illegal. There is…

crimes and health risks. Alcohol dependency from binge drinking is a serious problem in the United States. Most alcohol that is consumed by anyone, is consumed during a binge. You never really notice if you binge drink after drinking for a while because your body just starts to get used to it. Most binge drinkers just don’t know how to hold back, they get so caught up in the feeling that they get. When you drink enough to get a blood alcohol level of 0.08 it is considered binge drinking and it…

Is this land our land? In Woody Guthrie’s poem, “This Land Is Your Land,” the tone is set to be a joyful song, but the tone twists towards the end. As I read, I interpreted the poem in the tone of joy which transforms into disillusion when the speaker questions, “Is this land made for you and me?” (Guthrie line 24).
