Nothing is worse than loving a movie so much that you finally convince your friends to give it a try, and they hate it. I find myself alone, when I say my favorite movie of all time is the 1995 film Clueless. From the 90’s fashion statements, to their hip dialogue of that time, I love to see how everything comes back in style. While watching, I connect their outfits with ones I see at the mall today, twenty one years later; I connect how their high school problems aren’t so different than the ones teenagers have today. But, the main elements in this fun, energetic, and charming movie that I compare, are the personality traits of the main character, and that of my own. Cher Horowitz, played by Alicia Silverstone, reminds me so much of myself, which is why I love this movie so much, more than all my friends. Of course, there are some obvious differences, but the main aspects of Cher’s character mirror mine.

I would say that the genre of Clueless is a romantic comedy. Clueless starts off as mainly a comedy with it jokes and light atmosphere but later off begins to mix it up with some romances. At the Beginning of the film, story begins to unfold and has a lot of jokes in it. One example is how Cher states that once she gets her driver licenses, she would become a better person by not running over animals anymore. As the film progresses, relationships begin start or deepens with a mix of jokes here and there. An example of this is when Dionne drives on the freeway. At first Cher, Dionne and Murray begins to hilariously freak out as they enter the freeway. At the end of the scene Dionne and Murray makes out while Cher notices how important love

Clueless is a movie about a young snob, rich, and over confident teenage high school girl named

Grown Ups The film chosen to reflect developmental psychology in middle adult adulthood. The movie is about n 1978, five 12-year-olds win a basketball championship. Thirty years later, they all come together with their families for their coach's funeral which is at a weekend at a house on a lake where they used to grow up. By now from childhood, each is a grownup with problems and challenges: Marcus is isolated, single, and drinks too much.

Based off of Kathryn Stockett’s 2009 novel, The Help is a movie told from an African American’s point of view during the early 1960’s in Jackson, Mississippi. The three main characters include, Aibileen Clark, Minny Jackson, and Eugenia (Skeeter) Phelan. Skeeter is a young writer who has recently returned from the University of Mississippi. She has been advised by the Elaine Stein, who is the head editor at Harper & Row, to write about a topic she is passionate about, that way she can continue her dream of becoming a serious writer. In addition, Skeeter accepts a writing job down at the Jackson Journal where she writes a housekeeping column. Ironically, she has no housekeeping experience as she grew up with in house help. In order to keep her job she goes to Aibileen, her friend Elizabeth Leefolt’s housekeeper. At this point in her life, Aibileen is just trying to get by. She writes out her prayers on a daily basis as a way to clear her mind since she is fairly reserved on the outside. On the contrary, Aibileen’s friend Minny is also a housekeeper, but she has a rather sharp tongue which doesn’t usually work in her favor. Consequently, she is trying to find a new employer, but is having trouble since there is a bit of discord between her and the most influential socialite in Jackson, Mississippi.

The Help by Kathryn Stockett is very informative. You see through the eyes of all the maids and understand how they felt. They were very abused back in the day. They didn’t have a chance at anything good, they were always stuck with not so good things. Both the book and the movie shows how it was for colored people. It wasn’t easy for them.

District 9 (Peter Jackson, 2009), a science fiction film produced by Peter Jackson, is a rare gem unlike the many sci-fi movies which have been released in our time. The story is established via a mix of standard third person camera and documentary footage and takes place in the present - a twist from your regular science fiction film which normally takes place in the future. The film, about a colony of alien refugees forced by humans to live in a South African slum, is an example of social satire by presenting a critique of the injustice with which we treat those who are different from us. The metaphors of science fiction are being used to portray the nature of racism; with the way that racist ideology and discourse deals with those different

What is your value? Do you know your self-worth? These are the questions everyone should know the answer to every day. But, how can we measure our own self-worth when there are individuals in this world who are being told they are worth nothing? Or even worse, those individuals are being told they are worth a specific dollar amount? The movie “Priceless” produced by Luke Smallbone, is a touching movie because it brings awareness to human trafficking, questions the value of one’s self and indicates the faith needed to find redemption.
