Trouble With the TSA
No one enjoys having to deal with the Transportation Security Administration (TSA), and celebrities are no exception. In 2016, actor Judge Reinhold was arrested when he refused to cooperate with a TSA screening. Reinhold, like the rest of us, didn’t appreciate a complimentary pat down.
If you don’t want to find yourself in a situation like Judge Reinhold, keep your behavior under control so that you don’t end up with a mugshot like a celebrity facing charges.
Everyone would love to be perfectly graceful like a beautiful actress, including beautiful actresses. In reality, celebrities are as clumsy as the rest of us. We’ve all tripped or stumbled in front of a crowd of people, but can you imagine doing it in front of millions
This movie was about Michael Dunne, a Canadian soldier in WWI. In the beginning, he fought against a very young German soldier and killed him.

In his directorial debut, Jordan Peele steers away from his comedic reputation to make the suspenseful thriller that is Get Out. The film is very intriguing and keeps you guessing and on the edge of your seat throughout from start to finish as you follow Chris Washington, a young african american man, who travels with his white girlfriend to her family’s house when he uncovers a dark secret. For the typical fan of horror/thriller, it's a must see.
One of the symbolic representations in La Mission is where it takes place, in the mission district of San Francisco. It represents the traditional stance of Che the main character and compares it to the shift to a more hipster neighborhood with new people like Lena moving in who haven’t been in the neighborhood until recently. He also restores old cars into low riders which is historically Mexican American style of car. The music featured in this movie is a mix of traditional chorales, native drums and guitars mixed with newer more modern version that also show the transition that this community and culture are facing coming to terms with change and homosexuality that is culturally unacceptable.
The Tuskegee Airmen movie was about the hardships that the first African American fighter pilots faced in the United States Army Air Corporation. This movie is based on a true story of how the African Americans pilots battled against racism and for equal rights. They became one of the greatest and fearless fighter pilot teams in the United States during World War II. Hannibal Lee is on a train ride to Tuskegee Air Base in Alabama. He meets two passengers, Walter and Leroi, who are going to join the 99th Fighter Squadron as fight cadets. One example of segregation occurs on the train because these three black airmen are forced to give up their seats for German prisoners because there was no more room to sit. Lieutenant Glenn was the first man they met when they got to Tuskegee. He was the man in charge along with other people in the unit. The people who were training to be cadets were African American, middle class and well educated men.
There are many different opinions regarding whether Wolsey was seen more as a partner to Henry than a servant. Whilst source 7 agrees with this, suggesting that not only did Wolsey have equal power to that of Henry, but he also had the wealth and mannerism of a king too. Source 8 however contradicts this, and suggests that Wolsey was purely a servant to the king. As everything Wolsey did went through Henry first, it is seen here that Wolsey had no power at all, a relied heavily on pleasing the king in order to keep his statutory role as cardinal. This suggests that Wolsey could have been in fact fearful of Henry, showing an entirely more servant relationship and completely contradicting
American actor Anthony Mackie once said “There are a lot of limitations and stigmas that are placed on young actors, specifically young black actors.” You have probably seen black male actors play the leading role of a drug addict, drug dealer, abusive husband or a even a thief. Although they do get a chance to be displayed on the media, they more often than ever are represented or viewed as the antagonist. Why? Because they are set up according to certain limitations in which they must obey. The lack of accurate representation on black actors in the media today is the result of prejudice and racism occurring in society. Racism and prejudice which are demonstrated in the films directed by Spike Lee, Do the Right Thing and Jungle Fever.
In his 2017 horror film Get Out, Jordan Peele not only makes his director debut, but delivers a particularly insightful view into the state of racial affairs in modern America.The stories narrative follows an African American man named Chris, who goes to visit his white girlfriend's parents at their rural home only to uncover a horrifying plot in which the girlfriend and her parents are in fact racist and have been abducting black people and using their bodies in medical experiments involving the transfer of consciousness. On a surface level, the plot of the film has the ability to come across as quite simplistic in scope, an obvious labeling of privileged American whites as racist; however, a deeper analysis reveals careful consideration to
While watching the movie "Paper Planes" it is rather obvious the director of the movie, Robert Connelly, has some very strong views about certain issues. He has strong views about winning or losing, and it is clear that he thinks it is more about having fun than winning. Connelly has views on other issues as well, such as problems between fathers and sons. There are also some themes in the movie about moving on with past and focusing on the present and the future. He uses various techniques to prove his points to the viewers. One of these is to have two characters, one that has the same concerns as him, and is likeable, and the other who is the exact opposite, and is dislikeable. These make it clear to the viewer that he has strong views.

As an aviation management major airport security is a concern that I have taken a huge interest in. Making travel safer to air travelers is one of the biggest tasks that will never end as long as there is a plane in the sky. However, there are many problems that come about when traveling because passengers feel as if they are being harassed, which doesn’t set a good look for the Transportation Security Administration. The Transportation Security Administration (TSA) consist of 50,000 security officers, inspectors, directors, air marshals and managers who protect the nation's transportation systems so you and your family can travel safely.

There are millions of movies in the world, yet Safe Haven is one of my favorites. Safe Haven is a movie that was released in 2013 by Temple Hill Entertainment. Safe Haven is about a young woman who is running away from her abusive husband. She runs away from Boston to a small town in North Carolina. After becoming a waitress at a local restaurant in her new town, Katie befriends a single father of two. It seems like her new life is going well in her new, small town, until her secret past finally confronts her new life. The intended audience for this movie are those who are of 13 years and older, because this movie is rated PG13 (“Safe Haven 2013.) I would recommend this movie to people who enjoy romantic movies, but also dramas, because this movie will definitely keep viewers on the edge of their seats.
Whether you are a fan of science fiction movies or not, it is clear that their hypothetical nature provides an interesting perspective on how people would cope with concerns raised by technological advancement and the ethical choice they have to make. The movie Passengers (2016) offers a great example of these dilemmas and really emphasizes the human element of dealing with technology.
increased its efforts in protecting its airports. At that time, “the security scanners already in place in most airports included baggage x-rays, metal detectors, and chemical residue detectors, which help security staff search out illegal items that a passenger might have” (DiLascio). These security scanners unfortunately failed in their job. Since then, the Transportation Security Administration has been keeping American airports safe using the latest technology. Airports have now been fitted with high-tech body scanners rather than the archaic metal detectors that only detect metal objects. During the past few years, individuals have attacked the
