Directorial debut films

It's not because I don't like a bit of crime every once and awhile, but I usually find most mafia movies to be rather boring. In fact, I have never sat down and watched any of The Godfather movies. I know, I know, for shame! I'm sure they are great films, but I just think you need to be the right mood to watch them, and I'm usually never in that type of mood. However, give me a mafia movie that is considered to be one of the most violent, cheesiest, low budget affairs, I'll be all over that like…

empty pleasure. Larry Clark's vision of these characters is so bleak and reasonably shocking. "Kids" is a tough film, with a visual style that looks so uncompromisingly authentic, its impression of realism immediately raises questions, and its extremism is both artful…

In Plato’s dialogue, Phaedrus, Socrates meets Phaedrus and walks outside the city to discuss love and rhetoric. Phaedrus tells Socrates of Lysias ' speech about love and Socrates gives Phaedrus his response through two different speeches. His first speech proposes the coldblooded passion of the “non-lover” or the wanton lover regarding carnal pleasure. Then, he delivers a second speech which begins with him discarding the truth in the prior speech and refers to true beauty. With this book,…

One habit I have made is getting up early. Since I have a class that begins at eight o’clock in the morning, I am used to waking up early enough to make it on time. On the days I do not have that class, however, I simply get up anyway and work on homework. This definitely helps me accomplish many tasks without getting swamped with work. Another habit I have picked up is simply praying in the morning and before I go to bed. I know that this is something I should have been doing long before I…

I have my mother’s smile and you can spot my father’s eyes plastered on me from a mile away. There is no doubt in connecting my physical features to that of my parents. On another level, far different from genetic code, they are my main influences in hardwiring me to become who I am today. My father has taught me ingenuity. Daily, I witness the outside environment making his life harder, however his naturally brilliant pose allows him to maneuver out of any situation. My mother’s undeniable love…

Skimming through the school supplies, another school year about to start. I rummaged through the notebooks as the aside fills up with equally as anxious students with their parents. As I politely waited for a family to make their way to the end of the aisle, allowing me to take a closer look at the binders, I spotted an old friend. Vanessa, was a friend I knew I could always rely on these past few years, but all that felt like an ancient memory. We hadn’t spoken in almost a year. She…

Two of my friends are twin sister and brother and they look very similar. If the boy wears fault long hair, sometime I think I meet his sister. However, although they look very similar, their characteristics are totally different. I think the brother is sometimes very lazy and he is usually late, but his sister is very studious and do everything or goes to some places on time. When he plays the online game, his sister usually spends times in studying or reviewing her class and so on. So why is…

Some people who do fit in aren’t exactly the friendliest people you could meet because they got everything handed to them, so they think that they belong there. Others know that they have to work to fit in and it’s so sad to watch that because you shouldn’t have to work for your friends. People that don’t really fit in seem as if they have it easy because they have friends that love them for who they truly are, but sometimes they get bullied by the people who fit in and that is why they hate the…
