For example, at the grocery store we now have the option to scan our own items at the self check out which 30 years […]

I had always been the person that my friends and family would confide in with their technological problems and I was almost always able to solve […]

Her ability to convey these themes of addiction and passion in such a compelling way was absolutely amazing. I also agree with you in the fact that I do not see a hero in this film even though I desperately want to. I believe it is obvious…[Read more]

Luke through being put into the role of “the savior” rejects it when he is brought back after attempting to escape for either the first or…[Read more]

I however found the plot in this movie to be rather slow moving compared to modern day hero films such as the marvel films. I myself am not a huge fan of the western but again that is just my taste.…[Read more]

He could have easily sent Victor Laszlo on the plane by himself and stayed in Casablanca with Ilsa but instead he sent them both on the plane to safety so Laszlo could continue his fight against the Nazi regime. I however interpreted the role of the hero in this film to be…[Read more]

Annabelle had many moments in which her helping of Johnnie wasn’t actually helping at all and instead put their lives in danger whereas Clarissa genuinely helped Jeff. You can see this in the instance during the filibuster…[Read more]
