Sonny Corleone

I read about the movie Serpico on a list of 125 must-see movies on the net. The movie is about a real-life NYPD (New York City Police Department) officer Frank Serpico who went undercover to expose the corruption in the police system. The great Al Pacino plays the titular character, who is an honest police officer in a completely corrupt police force. The movie tells the story of Serpico’s life from the time he joined the force in 1960 to the time he resigned in 1972. The movie starts in 1972…

The 1972 film, The Godfather, directed by Francis Ford Coppola, is a perfect example of feudalism. With Vito Corleone as the king pin and the rest of his family as major players in the New York mafia. The Godfather is not the normal gangster film or a film about Italian immigrants. Two social movements occur in The Godfather, the aristocratic court, and the coup. While the film takes place mainly in the United States in the 1940s and 1950s, there are no democratic institutions seen. There are no…

dominating style earned him the nickname The Hammer. He really hammered his opponents when necessary as well as when it was not so needed. During the 1974-75 season, David established an all-time record for the most penalty minutes (472 minutes). Andre Dupont was second in terms of having most penalty minutes in that season. During the 1974-75 season, the dominant stars of this team were involved in as much as 77 fights with different opponents. This clearly shows how aggressive and violent…

The greatest is gone! We might never see one like him again.!!! Universally regarded as one of the greatest boxers in history, Mohammed Ali's stature as a legend continues to grow even after his death. He is celebrated not only for his remarkable athletic skills but for his willingness to speak his mind and his courage to challange the status quo with his devotion to philanthropic work. Muhammed ali (formerly known as Cassius Clay) had transformed himself from a boy in desperate…

An Astronomical Athlete Every success story ever chronicled started with a dream, a huge gargantuan dream that seemed entirely unobtainable. The 1996 bronze medal Olympian, Floyd “Money” Mayweather, sought the title of the greatest professional boxer of all time. He achieved his goal by keeping an unblemished record of forty-nine fights with forty-nine wins, twenty-six by way of knockout, and zero losses (“Floyd Mayweather Jr..”). My own dreams are of no less stature in fact, I intend to…

later was the first born between his brother. Just like his dad,Ali was a charmer and performed for everyone. Ali won gold in the Rome olympics and that was his first great accomplishment. On February 25, 1964 Muhammad Ali fought heavyweight champion Sonny Liston. Ali successfully defeated Liston and became heavyweight champ. The press and most people didn’t think Ali could beat Liston because this was the time of segregation.He proved everyone wrong by taking the title. Ali showed that he could…

My thoughts on Mayweather vs McGregor So my initial reaction to this fight was that Conor had absolutely zero chance but then the press tour happened and I realize how much bigger Conor was than Floyd. I knew there was going to be a size difference but it was way more than I thought. So after the world tour I realized Conor is going to have a huge size advantage which he has had in most of his fights where he has overpowered all but one of his opponents. (That one being Nate Diaz) As the build…
