The Dead

The 2014 short film Dead Hearts is the perfect movie to watch to close out this Halloween season. Stephen Martin wrote and directed the fantasy/horror short film as an ode to his wife, to whom he had just proposed at the time of the script’s development. He combined elements of whimsical timeless love, Kung Fu fighting sequences, and death scenes. As Stephen Martin and his wife both love horror and fantasy, he combined the two genres to make this award-winning Halloween film. The fifteen-minute…

If the characters in Dead Poet 's Society had watched Half Nelson or other movies like it that stereotype African-American youth, urban schools, and the communities in which both reside; their elitist, predominately white surroundings at Welton Academy would not have given them any reason to negate those myths. The students, parents, and school administrators/faculty in Dead Poet 's Society would most likely conclude that urban, African American youth are thugs and drug dealers who dress like…

Veteran Actress Mindy Robinson Works with Real Vets in Her Latest Role in Range 15 Robinson is one of the hardest working actresses in Hollywood with over 150 appearances on TV and film, and has no problem holding her own amongst the testosterone-fueled landscape of Range 15. Range 15 plays like The Hangover meets Act of Valor, with zombies to fight instead of terrorists. Intentionally campy and packed to the brim with surprising celebrity appearances, the action/horror/comedy also features a…

storyline, The Walking Dead. For the sake of simplicity I will only be focusing on the first game/season of The Walking Dead as I feel it alone has a very deep and meaningful story without the need for the second game/season.

I believe that The Walking Dead is the perfect example of a game that’s success is built on its story and narrative. The Walking Dead, created by…

nowhere a dead parachutist lands on the island? The dead parachutist may symbolize violence towards the kids. He could also be indicated as the beast; the boys are thinking that there is a thing called the beast and while they are looking for the beast they find the parachutist which makes them believe that he is the beast. The parachutist does symbolize something other than what the beast and the Lord of the Flies represents. The dead parachutist can be represented in many different ways. The…

Book of Dead Slot Review Play ‘n Go’s new Book of Dead has been designed for one purpose, and one purpose only. It has been created to take on Novomatic’s Book of Ra slot, which currently rules the roost when it comes to simplistic Ancient Egyptian themed video slots. The similarities between the two are there for all to see. Both video slots contain a rather cheesy hero and explorer – in the case of Book of Dead, his name is Rich Wilde. Both slots’ symbols include surpluses of high playing…

individual should ignore reality. That balance between realism and idealism is what leads to success, and that is what makes them both significant in a person’s life. Examples of how to find that balance can be conveyed through the characters’ growth in Dead Poets Society. In the film, Peter Weil conveys the idea that, if an individual fails to accept reality, their idealistic goals are impossible to achieve without conflict. In other words, individuals pursuing their ideals with ignorance…
