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.

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.

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…

"Ahhhhh!" I scream as my brother throws an icy cold snowball at me. Rutherford County schools were closed for an entire week! Filled with snow cream, sledding, and binge-watching shows with puzzles. What a week it was! During my snow week, one of my favorite things to do was make snow cream! The complete deliciousness of this cream is unbelievable! The milk, sugar, and vanilla together make a dreamy flavor. The one problem is, snow cream is not something you can just want and get. Snow cream…

The things that shape this documentary is the campaign itself, the tactics the two used, and the people's reaction to the election.
