Everybody knows at least one movie that just should not have been made. Creators and directors all over the world create films as a living, but only sometimes are they actually worth it. The 2010 movie, Rubber, is absolutely one of the worst movies ever made. The lines are awful, there are really bad actors, and an even stupider plot. A character's lines always affects the movie. In the very beginning, a random car comes out of nowhere, and knocks over chairs sitting in the middle of the desert…

Trolls, the new animated movie about the little dolls with the long, neon-hued hair, is the kind of movie that invites the mind to wander.This is to say it’s not a good movie, but it’s also not a bad movie. It’s reasonably entertaining, with some good musical numbers and at least one goofily endearing performance.But it’s also just a little bit all over the place, with a story that often seems like a fairy-tale greatest hits album — with all the hits covered by trolls. It’s a story assembled by…

After two of the five minute quarters there is a ten minute halftime break, only 1 timeout is permitted to each team which may only be used in the last two minutes of regulation play, and there is a fifteen second shot clock that is…

Millions of people around the world sit down in front of their television set and are told that “For the next hour, sit quietly and we will control all that you see and hear”. But this seemingly absorbing lead into a popular science fiction TV show is actually telling the truth. What the unsuspecting audience is being fed is chilling. “What is dangerous about television is not its junk, it is that television is transforming all serious public business into junk” (449 P4) In addition, the…

Volleyball games are a time with excitement and intensity for all ages. From digging, and sets to serving and kills, this sport has mastered the art of entertainment for all. Volleyball is one of my favorite sports. Though I don’t get to play it all year round, the memories of the events will forever stay. During these events many things do occur, like friendship, trust, and believing in yourself that you can do more. This has encouraged me to portray opportunities and do more actives.…

Postman’s overarching idea is that the television has changed not only the way in which news is presented to the public, but also that it has changed the very way we think. Although his book has two parts, I would like to divide it into three. First, Postman writes about the nature of information and how it relates to both the medium that is conveying it and the audience that is receiving it. Next, Postman takes us through a brief history of the multiple revolutions in communication as well as…

movie was about a young man named Pi who survived a disaster at sea. While cast away at sea, Pi bonded with a fearsome Tiger, and he experienced an adventurous journey due to the disaster (Life of Pi). However, this movie could be evaluated by entertainment, then theme, social issue, or relevance. Lastly the art of Life of Pi can be evaluated. Despite this movie being entertaining, having…

The advent of mobile technologies drastically changed the way society experiences media. Before media was easily accessible in the palms of our hands, we would rely on our home entertainment systems to listen to or watch what we wanted. According to Stephen Groening’s article, we are losing a sense of privacy, or as it may be seen to some people. Our home entertainment systems were clearly something that we would use while at home and strictly at home, which made watching television or surfing…

Funniest Game of the Year, Kudos… I think that we can all agree that, for a long time now, the word “horror” has been losing its meaning throughout all kinds of media and entertainment, mostly because of the incredibly infamous “jumpscares” and lack of creativity when it comes to build up tension with the player/viewer. So, when I saw Albino Lullaby (a game that brags about its inventive methods of horror, and how it promises to be a horror game without jumpscares nor gore) I was pretty excited,…
