The Nice Guys Essay

Michael Kimmel talks a lot about how guys between the ages of 16 and 26 are living in the world called Guyland (Kimmel, 5). Things such as sports, sex, porn, and video games consume guys in Guyland. Kimmel also brings up that girls/women are in a way questionable or illegal in Guyland, however women/girls are still present in Guyland. Two ways females participate in Guyland are by supporting Guyland by conforming to what men want and by complying with guys by trying to be one of them. Women can also resist Guyland by embracing qualities they already posses and not conforming to the wants of males.

In the Outsiders I think the actors played their roles correctly especially Tom Cruise who played Two bit. I felt like the they picked the best actors to play the roles of the characters from the book. The death scenes

What exactly is a “Guy”? Well, as Barry says “I don’t know. I haven’t though that much about it.” While he may not have given it much thought, he explains the difference in a couple ways. He tells us that guys like to buy “neat” things that they don’t really need. He also states that guys will rise to meet a pointless challenge. And when it comes to feeling, Barry says that, if they even have them, guys are not

An interesting story is “A Good Man is Hard to Find” by Flannery O’Connor which combines a sarcastic humor with a fictional event that could teach us how a little unexpected moment would destroy their precious treasure of life, the family. Through the story the author applies foreshadowing, strong characters, and particular settings to keep the attention of the reader.

The movie is shot as a documentary about a British band in the 1980’s while they are on tour in the United States. Eventually through a series of mishaps, the popularity of the band starts to wane. We learn that the band has troubles keeping drummers, the permanent members are not exactly the brightest, and reminiscent to Yoko Ono, one of the main character’s girlfriend starts to interject herself into the band’s business.

After a long semester of waiting we finally get to watch the film that was promised to us simply titled “Wonder Boys.” I’ve never heard of this movie before December 3rd so I was quite intrigued to see why my professor was so enthused by the mere thought of it. So I patiently waited (which by the way is not a thing I do often) for the following Tuesday to come hoping that it wouldn’t suck. After two days of watching the film I was not let down, my previous pessimistic thoughts were violently drop kicked off of the nearest tower. Not saying it’s the best movie ever, but I can honestly say that I thoroughly enjoyed this film. Following Grady Tripp through clouds of marijuana we witness his affair with the Chancellor of his university, meet

Love can go beyond gender, even humanity. Throughout the film Let the Right One In, the relationship between Eli and Oscar can be seen as unusual. Eli repeatedly says “what if I’m not a girl?” to Oskar. In the film we are shown a few shots of Eli’s genital area, in which we see nothing but a scar. The novel, however, tells us Eli was originally named Elias, a boy who was castrated over two-hundred years ago and turned into a Vampire. Since vampires are essentially dead, they do not require reproductive systems, resulting in this area being nothing. I noticed there is a major difference with regard to sexuality amongst vampires in the Forry article, “Powerful, Beautiful, and Without Regret”, compared to the relationship between Eli and Oskar portrayed in Let the Right One In: in the article, vampires are described to be

It is not every day you can find four young boys that can act well and mesh so well together. However, Gordie(Wheaton) and Charlie’s(Phoenix) acting performances are what stands out to me as having successful acting performances. Both actors could work on things, such as Gordie’s fake crying at the end; the crying could have been much more believable. Charlie and Gordie have compassion in their eyes, they can show anger, they can show support, and I think they gave a wonderful performance. A flaw in this movie would be Teddy(Feldman) and Vern’s(O’Connell) acting. While their acting is not what I would consider bad, I believe there are many things that they could work on. One example of this would be the humor Teddy tries to portray, I give him credit he is a child, but I think he could be more humorous than what he was. Critic Walter Goodman from The New York Times, states in his review that, “Some of their horsing around, 1950ish style, is comical, but too much of what they do is only too plainly imposed by the movie makers.” This opinion from Goodman is true for the most part and it makes me think about how differently the actors would have played their characters differently if so much was not imposed on their characters. However, I think the movie makers had no choice but to impose the characters because of each actors’ experience and maturity, they need more

The Good The Bad The Ugly and Fitsfull of Dollars was played by a great actor Clint Eastwood. I strongly believe without Clint Eastwood, the movie would not be the same. He made them interesting and helped follow along in the movies.

George Clooney, who wrote, directed, and costarred in the film, is the son of journalist Nick Clooney. Prior to transferring to Drexel, I attended American University, where the elder Clooney was on the faculty as a "journalist in residence." Shortly after I was accepted into AU, I remember reading an article reporting that Nick and George Clooney, along with several congressmen and prominent activists, had been arrested at the Sudanese Embassy for protesting the human rights violations perpetrated by the country's leadership. Though

     The actors are believable in their roles. Steven Martin who acts as George Banks is outstanding in his role, he acts very well, so the audience knows his feelings, and feels sorry for him. The stars are not the main reason for me to see the film, but the title is.

This hilarious film starring Kevin Hart and Josh Gad is about a socially awkward tax attorney named Doug Harris (Gad) preparing for his upcoming nuptials. Two weeks before his wedding Doug realizes that he has a problem, he has not selected a best man for his wedding and does not have groomsmen

Good People Go To Hell was filmed by Holly Hardman in 2012. Her film talks about the rapture culture and what the member of that culture believe. According to film, Rapture culture is defined as a Christian belief in which people believe in “the act of being lifted by Jesus into heavenly skies upon the Second Coming” and those who don’t believe will be left on Earth. The film was shot in Louisiana. Hardman follows the lives of Misti Taylor and her family as Christians who are a part of the rapture culture. She also follows another family through their journey of spreading the word of Christ. Although this film showcases the lives of those involved in the rapture culture, it also exposes the controversy of this culture.

Look after your appearance – appearance is important, it can give us confidence or it can make us feel awkward. Dressing smart for the right occasion gives us self-confidence. Dress for your own benefit: don’t dress in the expectation of pleasing others and receiving compliments.
