“Freaky Friday”
The movie that I chose to review was titled “Freaky Friday.” It stars Jamie Lee Curtis and Lindsay Lohan as a mother and daughter who switch bodies for a day. In this film, Tess Coleman (played by Jamie Lee Curtis) is a widowed psychiatrist juggling her job and family while planning her second marriage. Anna Coleman (played by Lindsay Lohan), who disapproves of her mother’s second marriage plans, is of no help to her mother at all during her stressful situations. Anna is a rebellious rocker who plays guitar in a garage band and would rather flirt with older boys than listen to her uptight mother.
One night, while the warring mother and daughter are at a Chinese restaurant, their fighting is overheard by an elderly

Tess is a very busy woman. She is always on the go for her job and carries a mess of handheld devices (including cell phones, pagers, PDIs, etc.) so that she can be reached very easily when she is not working. Tess is also the head of the household and is in charge of making sure that the basic physiological needs of her two children are met.
The family relationships in the movie that are obvious to the viewer include the bonding between mother and daughter and the idea of a single parent household. Through watching the movie, one can see that the bonding between Tess and Anna has changed from the beginning to the end. In the beginning of the movie, Anna and Tess are constantly arguing and not getting along. Anna does not like her mother bossing her around and definitely does not like the idea of her mother getting remarried. Tess, on the other hand, is very stressed out by her job and the planning of her second marriage, so she takes out all of her anger and stress on her daughter. This anger between the mother and daughter in the movie leads one to believe that there has been little interaction between the two early in life, which is probably due to the divorce and Tess’s constant working. According to Greenspan, high divorce rates and parents taking on more than one job results in children having continuous access to fewer and fewer adults. This idea of very little
Freak the Mighty is a combination of both Max and Kevin because they are completely different people, neither of them are really considered normal though, they're considered weird or odd. Kevin is really smart and gets good grades. He has a birth defect, a disease where his body is too big for his organs, his insides are outgrowing his body which can cause him to die if it gets too bad. He is in a wheelchair and it's hard for him to get around by himself. He is only about 3 feet tall. Max is normal size, he isn't as smart as Kevin and doesn't have very good grades, he has a disease where he doesn't learn the same as other people, he looks different from the other people, he looks a lot like his father, Kenny "Killer" Kane and he gets bullied because of it. He feels worthless and dumb because of his past. Max doesn't really talk to
Finally…. Halloween was here. I have waited all year for this day. My all time favorite holiday. School was finally over and I slipped on my costume and jetted out the door. I was ready for the spooky scares, chilly air, and crazy dares that happen on halloween night. My friend Kayla and I walked to each door chanting “trick or treat”, but one house appeared to be kind of peculiar. The house was big, white, and the tiles were falling off. Nobody dared to step on the property of the house.
This paper provides an analysis of Ava DuVernay’s 2016 film, 13th. To begin, it provides a high-level overview of the film plot. Next, this exploration introduces the key characters and contributors of the film. Lastly, it provides a synthesis of the film’s story through making direct connections to course concepts. In general, 13th is a thought-provoking documentary providing an in-depth look at the United States prison system and its relation to the exploitation of the criminal clause loophole in the 13th Amendment. Accordingly, this film exposes how the 13th Amendment provides legal cover for our court and prison systems to effectively relegate criminals as second class citizens. Moreover, the film provides thoughtful interviews with
Her parents contribute to her not speaking by not interacting with her and asking how she feels ever since high school began. For instance, they do not talk to each other face to face but with notes as Melinda explains, “We communicate with notes on the kitchen counter. I write when I need school supplies or a ride to the mall. They write what time they’ll be home from work and if I should thaw anything.” (Anderson 14). This portrays that the family is very distant with one another and they do not want to face seeing each other. This also is proof that they are a dysfunctional family who are separated into their own worlds. Specifically, to show that Melinda and her family are distant, she says, “I give thanks at Thanksgiving because my mother finally goes to work and my father orders pizza.” (Anderson 57). Melinda is happy that she is not close to her family and prefers being alone. Her mother cares more about her work than spending the holiday with her family. This causes issues with Melinda’s inability to speak due to her not feeling wanted by her own mother. However, even though Melinda would rather have her and her parents go separate ways, she claims, “I bet they’d be divorced by now if I hadn’t been born. I’m sure I was a huge disappointment.” (Anderson 70). Deep down inside, Melinda knows that having her family together is important even though she does not show it physically and emotionally.

This is an attempt to resolve the issues between Terry and Bill, who have two children. The first child is Dawn, and she is having trouble adjusting to the lack of attention from her parents. The parents are traditional, where as the father works and the mother stays at home. Both her parent used to be extremely focused and attentive on Dawn; subsequently, her sibling, Darren has congenital heart problems. Darren require more attention, and the parents are having difficulties paying for his medical need, as a result Dawn is lonely without her parents. Her father works long hours to pay for Darren’s abundant medical costs, and her mother is so tired of bills and caring for Darren that she expect Dawn to be a grownup; nevertheless, Terry assumes Dawn is much more mature than Darren. They are high and unreasonable expectations for Dawn. (Broderick and Blewitt, 2014).
One example of a horror convention seen on the cover of the DVD would be the use of the dark figure in the background. This represents the supernatural, as the figure is wearing all black, its face is covered, and it’s standing upright, which may come across as quite intimidating and creepy to the audience, which we can relate to Bulmer and Katz theory of visual pleasures for the audience, which involves scary or dark figures and physical effects that can scare the audience and pleasure them visually. The supernatural is an example of a typical horror convention as the purpose of the supernatural in a horror movie is to scare the audience because of the unlikeliness of a supernatural being existing. The idea of a being that is out of this world
