Spy vs. Spy

Ladies at this time were “vivandieres” who were often known to accompany and provide support to the Union and Confederate army. A handful of women also impersonated themselves as men and joined the fight, while many other females were nurses and spies. As thousands of enslaved ladies were just beginning to be freed, they began their new lives surrounded by the barbarity and midst of the war.

All good things must come to an end…or so they say. Of course, James Bond apparently never got that memo – you know, because he seems to get younger and more ambitious with each passing decade. With that said, it’s impossible not to admire the fan base and longevity that this character has built for itself, stemming back to the 1950s.

Behind the Lens When anyone said ‘No’ she heard ‘Yes’, and that practice made her stronger. Everyone hears ‘No’. It’s those of us who decide to defy them that change the world. Holly Bowers is a product of Manhattan, NY, which explained a lot when she mentioned it. So what ‘no’ did Holly challenge that made a difference in not only her life, but the life of women who would come after her? In 1974, the IATSE Local 644 met their match when they tried to deny her a union membership. In October…

In the movie Kramer vs Kramer the issue of divorce is shown from a single fathers perspective and how it can be hard raising a child in a unhappy marriage. The effects on a child behavior are really affected dramatically when there is a split in the household.

While Shaun of the Dead has some instances of music use similar to that of Baby Driver, Scott Pilgrim vs The World can also be compared. Scott Pilgrim, unlike any other Edgar Wright film, is a comic book adaptation and is set in Canada, which differs greatly from the particularly British setting and plot points of his previous films. While not culturally or geographically similar to Baby Driver’s Atlanta setting, it does show that Edgar Wright has long been capable of telling stories outside of…

The abortion debate has been heated and in spotlight for quite some time, and it is not going away anytime soon. Roe vs. Wade ruled pro-choice, and lately more and more anti abortion programs are pushing to get the decision revisited. An anonymous spy, David Daleiden, exposed Planned Parenthood in attempt to bring them down while adding more fuel to the abortion controversy. The abortion debate is complicated because it is more of a moral debate, which brings religious values into government.…
