For me, Black Rain is just another prime example of why I consider Ridley Scott to be a mixed bag as a Director. Sure he’s definitely made some classics like Blade Runner, Alien, and Gladiator but other films that I’ve seen in Scott’s filmography (Robin Hood, Exodus, and G.I. Jane) seems like he gets so caught up into creating visual atmospheres (especially in this one) to the point of where he loses focus on maintaining a genuine plotting or narrative. Black Rain is an 80’s recycled tough cop…

Fight Club (1999) doesn’t need much of an introduction, and the first two rules state that I can’t talk about. I guess I’ll have to make an exception just this once; I just hope Tyler will be able to forgive me. The movie itself performed moderately well in its opening weekend but was ultimately a box office failure, as it only brought in about $37 million in revenue. The main character who is played by Edward Norton, a nameless narrator, is unhappy and discouraged with his mediocre life. In…

As I was walking into the Career Center, I heard Mr. Railey tell Tyler, who was a few steps ahead of me in the hall, to take his hat off. Tyler removed his hat and acted as if he was going to throw it to the ground, but instead of throwing his hat he ended up putting it back on his head. Later in class, after Mrs. Linzey was done taking attendance, she asked Tyler to take off his sunglasses. Tyler did not immediately take off his glasses and even began to mumble things under his breath. I…

Since the beginning of his career, outrageous and courageous Tyler, the Creator has turned heads with his bold lyrics and surprising talent for writing and producing rap music. In 2011, the twenty-two year old rap artist released his debut studio album entitled Goblin (“Tyler, the Creator”, n.d.). It was the second album in his trilogy and it immediately had people talking. One of the standalone songs on the album, “She” is an R&B rap song written by Tyler and features Frank Ocean on the…

In Street Fight, a documentary by Marshall Curry, we see how Cory Booker tries to win an election for mayor against Sharpe James in Newark, New Jersey. The things that shape this documentary is the campaign itself, the tactics the two used, and the people's reaction to the election. Their campaigns could be summed down to experienced leadership (Sharpe James) versus change (Cory Booker). James had been serving as mayor for sixteen years and has brought many changes to Newark. He has done good…

stomach. Your hair stands on end. You feel a surge of energy and in a split second you find yourself running away from the noise. Whether you’re aware of it or not, your body just went through a response known as the fight or flight response also known as the acute stress response. The fight or flight response evolved as a mechanism enabling humans and other mammals to react quickly to potentially life-threatening dangers. The sequence of physiological response and hormonal changes allows for…

The book The Glass Castle by Jeanette Walls has left a great impact on me because I feel a few of Jeanette 's many problems she went through during her younger life is somewhat similar to what I have gone through. Not many people know about my life at home but this quote from the The Glass Castle I think accurately states the kind of life I am living and how Jeanette’s life is similar to mine,“I wanted to let the world know that no one had a perfect life, that even the people who seemed to have…

The length of time that people know someone tends to be a justified reason that they can trust that person. This scenario tends to occur in close or life-lasting relationships. These particular companions recognize their friend for who they are, as well as the friend that they once were (Pearson). Dr. Irene Levine, suggests that having a mutual history together enables them to express themselves more comfortably to one another. They may have also taken part of other meaningful experiences in…

For example, people with ophidiophobia, the fear of snakes, will get the fight-or-flight feeling when looking at a photograph of a snake. There is no way that the snake in the photo could hurt them, but they are still afraid, making it a phobia. Phobias are sometimes caused by traumatic events causes in childhood. There are three…
