For my film review I watched “Mad Max: Fury Road”. “Mad Max: Fury Road” was directed by George Miller and written by George Miller, Brendan McCarthy, and Nick Lathouris. This movie cost around $150,000,000 and it is understandable why. This movie was produced in 2015 and it was nominated for many awards. The most impressive of these nominations was Best Motion Picture of the Year. Although it did not win, a nomination for this award is a great accomplishment. However, it did win other awards…

The film industry has endured many changes throughout time. 2 significant changes that would go on and alter the business direction from being on a rise to taking a steep fall were the Hollywood Blacklist and the United States v. Paramount Pictures case; which greatly impacted the revenue earned by studios and the employment of many film professionals. To understand the Hollywood black list, what was happening in American history must be understood first. With the fall of Nazism and…

just the second weekend for new movies in 2018, but my guess is that we may be hard pressed to find a film more charming and endearing this year than Paddington 2. Days after seeing the film, I am still smiling, chuckling a bit even, and hoping the movie makes all the money it can. The original Paddington grossed nearly $270 million worldwide and earned two BAFTA nominations for Best British Film and Adapted Screenplay and a mutual consensus formed between critic, audience, and industry alike.…

The applauding behavior of today’s youth has reached epidemic proportions. Their lack of self-respect is reflected in not only by the way they dress, it’s also shown by the way they treat others. Aggressive behavior is shown throughout social media, music and everyday life. Entertainment today contributes to the fact that today’s youth are vulgar, rude, and rebellious and disrespect authority. Parents trying to be friends with their children, instead of being parents is a huge contributing…

A Calculated Metamorphosis When the words “Disney Starlet” come to mind, what does the average person picture? Who do they envision? If millennials were asked this question ten years ago, a blonde haired, bubbly, Miley Cyrus, also known as Hannah Montana, would have come to mind for many. Ten years later, she portrays quite the opposite persona, going from Disney darling to outspoken, edgy it girl. Thesis (last sentence/ play around with this/ topic +claim + reasoning): Miley Cyrus elects to…

Change. It is vital. It is necessary. It is a fact of life. Without it, inevitable stagnation ensues. Bands change their sound from album to album, altering with time and shifts in society. From cultural to personal reasons, these changes keep the music relevant. The Beatles shifted from a pop group, to a much more psychedelic and experimental group as their career progressed. Miley Cyrus started as living a double life as herself and Hannah Montana in her Disney Channel days. As she grew,…

victor shollenberger Sexual fluidity and attraction is a hard subject to touch on. This idea is very new in the grand scheme of things. So since it is such a new idea, people don’t really know where to fall with this new idea. There are so many little niches for all different types of people. The people who this article is about also come from all walks of life. So to say it simply people are confused on what to say to people of this ideology, and on how to react to this conversation of sexual…

concluded VMA – indeed a stent made the very Miley Cyrus way. This character of her made her fit to sing one of the songs in the upcoming movie ‘Freeheld.’ The movie is about a lesbian couple which stars Julianne Moore and Ellen Page. Entitled Hands of Time, the song was written by songwriter-producer Linda Perry. It’s not often that we see Perry penning lyrics for a movie soundtrack. The songwriter admitted that working with executives and producers and their feedbacks are something that’s out…

Albert Huang Mr. Robbins Period 5 3/14/15 Strength of the idea In the conversation defining the all-time greatest director in the movie industry, several names, may never be absent. Among those that legend isn’t a powerful enough word to describe their merits, one name has appeared like the transit of Venus. It’s never as magnificent as the darkness of an eclipse, but has attracted countless followers with its distinctive glamour. It’s always close by the orbit of our lives, but yet so far away…

Have you ever felt the pressures of trying to fit in with the ever-changing trends and fads within your peer group? These pressures can be difficult enough to handle just within a small group of friends or a community, let alone the magnifying glass of the entire country and world. Many celebrities and professional athletes are subject to these scenarios every day of their lives by having their every move watched and every word listened to by millions. The pressures felt by these men and…
