During the month of February, the Hallmark Network promoted a showcase of movies leading up to Valentine’s Day called “Countdown to Valentine’s,” and it just so happens that one of those films, “Appetite for Love,” featured a country duo that captured my attention. When I first heard them sing, I was certain I had heard them on the country radio station, but upon further inspection (and after some good, old-fashioned research), I discovered that it was a sweet sister group called “Robyn and Ryleigh

All year Stewart Clown had been waiting to ask out Cody Bling, but he wanted to do it alone in the perfect place. Cody was the coolest kid in school. His family was rich and had a mansion. He had parties almost everyday. The only time he didn’t have parties was when he was at one. Stewart would constantly hear about his parties everyday at school, “ It was lit!” and “ that bumped Cody!”, they would say. Stewart’s desire to go would increase with each compliment he heard. It was then when Stewart

The New Academy What truly makes a movie fantastic? I tried to answer this question by creating a list of my five favorite films: Kill Bill (2003), The Truman Show (1998), Legally Blonde (2001), The Wizard of Oz (1939), and Star Wars (1977). Unfortunately, these films are not exactly similar in any obvious way. Although these films vary greatly from feel good films to intense action pieces, there are similar qualities in all of them. For example, although Legally Blonde and Star Wars seem to have

A connection between my studied texts was the theme of choice which was shown by characters in my texts. Also, how the setting impacted the choices made. By this, I mean how the time and place impacted what people did. My studied texts are, ‘The Man I Killed’ and, ‘On the Rainy River’ by Tim O’Brien, ‘The Kite Runner’ by Khaled Hosseini, ‘The Merchant of Venice’ by William Shakespeare and the film ‘Alice in Wonderland’ which was directed by Tim Burton. “On the Rainy River,” by Tim O’Brien shows

On February 26, 1932, a legend of country music was born. Johnny Cash, also known as J.R. Cash, was born in Kingsland, Arkansas, and was one of seven children to Ray and Carrie Rivers Cash. At the age of three Johnny and his family moved to Dyess, Arkansas for his father to take on a job at the New Deal farming programs initiated by President Franklin Roosevelt ("Johnny Cash Biography"). The next fifteen years of J.R.’s life was spent farming over twenty acres of cotton fields and other seasonal

From Charlie and the Chocolate Factory to Edward Scissorhands, director Tim Burton has demonstrated to everyone that he brings something special to the table and has been for 30 years. He has this ability to change people emotions, take stories and put a deep meaning behind them, and create these films that change how you feel just with a few things. These ways that Tim Burton makes you feel is by using camera angles, lighting, and sound. To begin with Tim Burton uses camera angles to show characters

Timothy Walter Burton is an American film director, producer, artist, writer, and animator. He directed many widely remembered movies such as Edward Scissorhands, Beetlejuice, Batman, Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, and many more. Burton is well known for his dark, gothic, and eccentric style in his horror and fantasy films. With that being true, he uses many cinematic techniques in a way which makes every single one of his movies unique and one of a kind. The main techniques that catch my eye

The first difference between Big Mama Thornton's performance in the video of Hound Dog and Elvis Presley’s is that Big Mama Thornton stays remotely in the same place the whole time. The little movement she does do consists of her rocking her body and move her arms, but she does not move far away from the original spot she starts in.Which gives the impression that it is a more serious situation for her. The meaning behind the lyrics Mama Thornton sings is about a man who sneaks around her home and

From 1924 to 1930, the city of Chicago gained a widespread reputation for lawlessness and violence. Not coincidentally, this phenomenon coincided with the reign of chief crime lord Al “Scarface” Capone, who took over from his boss Johnny Torrio in 1925. (Torrio, who was seriously wounded in an assassination attempt in 1924, had “retired” to Brooklyn.) Prohibition, ushered in by the passage of the 18th Amendment in 1920, had greatly increased the earnings of America’s gangsters through bootlegging

Johnny Cash is a hall of famer with a hall of fame personality. He grew up in middle of nowhere, Arkansas, learning the hard work of picking cotton from his father and the fun and joys of family and music from his mother. When his brother died, Johnny Cash was at a young age but he grew soon to make friends and especially befriend girls all while singing all the time. Singing carried him through the air force right onto to tour as a young adult. The rush of singing in front of thousands was the greatest
