Terrorist attacks... will it ever end?
So this show I watched just watched this past weekend called “The Unit,” on cbs, which is about a unit in the military that does not technically exist unless to those who are in the government or in the unit itself. The show was about a terrorist attack from an extremist prison group, known as the arian warlords, on the water system in the Sierra Ridge, California area. These cities in...
Bye Bye Birdie!!
I just recently watched the movie Bye, Bye Birdie and it is a pretty old movie that was remade in 1995. The movie is about a pop singer, Conrad Birdie, who is every girls fantasy man. Every young woman wants to meet him they only problem is he is being drafted into the army. To make one last big bang before he leave his manager plans to pick one lucky girl, Kim Mackavy, to get a kiss from Conrad...
Reality TV... Trashy or Truth?
People today see reality television as trashy. Although I do agree with this that it gives people the wrong idea on life tactics, I admit that am one of those people who become infused in their schemes and plots. We recently read in class an article on reality television and the lengths those on the show will go to, to be named the ultimate player and winner of a sum of money. Specifically I am...

My Big Redneck Wedding
I am not ashamed to say that I am a huge country lover. My favorite music is country music because it tells a story about an experience that person or someone close to them have gone through. I also really enjoy the outdoors and have been called the small town country atmosphere. However many people tend to disagree with me on these terms. There is this show called My Big Redneck Wedding that...
Interracial Love
All this talk about race has really got me thinking about movies in the last decade or so and how they are portraying interracial romance. The movie industry has been branching out and producing more movies that present love between different races; movies like Save the Last Dance and Guess Who. Although these are steps in the right direction, are they really representing a society that supposedly...
Subliminal messaging... true or false?
A ninety’s classic “Josie and the Pussycat,” stars three young girls who are striving to become the all american rock stars. When a major record company just happens to hire them on a whim because they look good on an album cover, the girls jump in with both feet, not thinking of the precautions. What they didn’t know was that the company was using subliminal messages placed strategically...
A Curse or a Blessing?
Last night I watched the movie Eagle Eye for the first time and well it made me a bit uneasy about how advanced technology has become. The movie is about a top secret government run program, called Eagle Eye, that has control over all aspects of the technological world in the entire nation. This program is able to tap into anything from cell phones to stop lights video cameras. It can even track...

Everyone has Secrets..
As silly as it may be for a college student to still be watching kid shows, I have been a bit obsessed with this show called The Secret Life of an American Teenager. Its about a fifteen year old high school student who gets pregnant from a one night incident at band camp with the school’s bad boy. I enjoy this show because it shows how easily it is for anyone, even a fifteen year old, to get into...
" Just one of the Guys"
I watched the movie “Just One of the Guys,” the early version of “She’s the Man,” the other night and it hit me on how many movies out there revolve around the transformation of gender identity to gain something that cannot be accomplished in ones own physique. Also, I noticed that those who are transforming their gender are always woman wanting to become a man. In this movie a young woman...
