Before Indy hid in refrigerators to avoid certain death by nuclear warheads, he was every guy my generation's hero. Like all heroes worth their salt, he also starred in some computer games. This graphic adventure game was released by Lucas Arts in 1992. If you had a CD-ROM player, Lucas Arts graces us with another talkie. If you played it on an Amiga the game clocks in at a respectable 11 3 ¼ floppies. If you aren't familiar with Indiana Jones, consider yourself on notice until you've watched the

1987’s film “Predator” is an unprecedented action thriller that graced the world with its grandiose portrayal of over the top action, suspense, and more than enough muscle between these actors to put even such films as “Pumping Iron” to shame. Predator is a simple film, and one that has no time for romance nor the “time to bleed”. This film is so brilliantly casted, and along with its simple plot and dialogue it is a blatant message to anyone who watches it even today; Hollywood can simply never

Teresa Viggiano FIL3854 July 12, 2015 Analysis #1 Jaws Jaws is based on a shark that causes disruption on a beach during a holiday and keeps returning to hunt. In the scene I have chosen to examine, many different forms of cinematography, lighting, sound and narrative techniques are utilized. The outfits worn by the three main characters are based on their personalities. Before the shark comes into the scene I have analyzed, the three men are not showing their nervousness or uneasy attitudes. The

On a scale of one to ten, I would rate Freakonomics an eight (8). In Freakonomics, Levitt and Dubner reform the conventional perspective of economics—a tiresome profession concerning monetary and fiscal matters—into a sui generis method of evaluating the world around us. Levitt and Dubner seek to expand the minds of their readers with the idea that economics can be found in obscure places. This can be exampled through the juxtapositions formed between the Ku Klux Klan and real-estate agents

Economics can be applied in many situations where you wouldn’t normally expect it found. In “Freakonomics”, by Steven D. Levitt and Stephen J. Dubner, the authors attempt to reveal what is happening behind the curtain of modern day life by comparing what you would think are two completely different people or subjects, and they relate these seemingly uncommon topics to more sophisticated economic concepts. The authors initially claimed that there was no theme, but after reading the book I have realized

Full Metal Jacket was a masterpiece of recreating what soldiers had to go through during basic training and breaking boying into becoming killing machines for the Vietnam War. This movie was accurate in how they displayed the physiological conditions that they had to confront in boot camp and out in the field. But the movie scenery wasn't accurate, the Vietnam area wasn't as jungle like and is more focused on the urban areas of Vietnam. Dates and locations are accurate including the Tet offensive

Todd Beyer Freakonomics P.8 Economics Mr. Mittlestadt Author Steven D. Levitt and Stephen J. Dubner’s, “#1 New York Times Bestseller” Freakonomics, is based on how they believe economics relates to past, present and future times and events around the world. Economics is apart of our society no matter what or how we look at it. Economics deals with production, distribution and consumption of how goods and services interact with our every day society. Throughout the story of Freakonomics

Ten Life-Boosting Lessons from the Epic Movie “Jaws” Movie theaters were jam-packed when Steven Spielberg delivered Peter Benchley’s 1974 chilling novel to the big screen. Not only did people avoid the water that summer, but, most beaches across America would close if a shark was sighted. The storyline was strong and the film was supported by a talented cast and crew who infused enough humor and suspense to keep its audience teetering on the edge of their seats. This top-grossing film was a brilliant

This past March, the Holy Angels auditorium transformed into a home, an airport, a hospital, and more, all in one sensational show! Catch Me If You Can is a story about a precocious teenager named Frank Abagnale (played by UCHS senior, Christian Rivera) who runs away from home after hearing the news of his parent’s divorce. Impressed by their chic uniforms, Frank first takes on the identity of a pilot and succeeds in visiting dozens of different countries and flying millions of miles. He relies

movies ever made, and I also believe it is one of the best. The subject matter alone makes it a movie worth watching, but this passion project brought to life the legendary filmmaker Steven Spielberg transcends being just a work of art. Schindler’s List is a true masterpiece. So many movies are just fluff pictures, but Steven Spielberg made this movie into a masterpiece of cinema. There is a beautifully framed set of over the shoulder shots when Amon Goeth is having a conversation with Oskar Schindler
