    One of the busiest marketplaces in Paris, Les Halles, is a global location where everyone came to sell their goods. In Emile Zola’s Belly of Paris, the abundance of food at Les Halles is described, through the eyes of Florent, “At the intersection of rue Halles were mountains of cabbages. At the other end, where pointe Saint-Eustache intersects rue Rambuteau, the route was blocked by swollen-bellied orange pumpkins crawling across the ground in two lines. The varnished brown of onions shone here

    Directed by Marc Forster, the 2001 film, Monster’s Ball is an Academy Award winning film which has been extensively criticized by American Studies scholars. They critique the aspects of the social construction of masculinity, race, and the way in which women are constructed as needing men in their lives. Essentially, the film’s narrative uses hypermasculinity in a way that supports the sexulization of women. Monster’s Ball follows the life of two individuals who are connected in a unique way.

    Oprah took a magnum opus, Their Eyes Were Watching God, and remade it into an entirely different story that did not comply with the book. By altering Janie’s character, moral fiber, relationships, and public acts, it changed the meaning of the novel. The symbolism and the significance of the title varied from the book and the story morphed into a tale of love when made into a movie. Zora Neale Hurston’s book held a disparate meaning before it fell into the hands of Oprah, who annihilated it. Janie’s

    However some of the audience may be confused if they had not seen previous X-Men films. As the film does not make it clear what is going on or where they are.  However not all the special effects are as good as that. Once again we see Storm's (Halle Berry) powers come to life in a way which does not suit this film at all and would look more at home in a horror film. The special effects used for Storm do not look real at all and it's obvious that they are computer generated. If Brett Ratner can't

    me interested the entire time. Halle Berry, who played Miranda Grey, did an amazing job throughout the film. In the beginning of the film when Miranda was asking Chloe questions, you can see that Miranda had no emotion to the answers Chloe was giving her even though her experience was horrific, but that was how she was supposed to act. Even though Halle was playing a psychiatrist, she didn’t really believe what Chloe was saying and was just taking notes. Halle played a great psychiatrist in the
