Hot Fuzz - Movie Review
Hot Fuzz Starring: Simon Pegg, Nick Frost, Bill Nighy Director: Edgar Wright Review: I must admit, I approached this film with a certain amount of trepidation. Maybe it was because I was expecting what would basically become a cop-film parody version of Shaun of the Dead, with the same jokes and, on the whole, the same themes. Or maybe it was because I feared the team behind that first excellent parody would not live up

Othello Movie Review
Despite working with low-budget and a small crew, Orson Welles makes his Othello interesting and memorable through several techniques. He generates a sense of suspense by placing the final scene in the beginning of the movie.

The Relevance Today of a Jury of Her Peers
In "A Jury of Her Peers," Susan Glaspell illustrates many social standards women experienced at the turn of the century. She allows the reader to see how a woman's life was completely ruled by social laws, and thus by her husband. Glaspell also reveals the ignorance of the men in the story, in particular the sheriff and the county attorney. I think some examples are rather extreme, but in Glaspell's day, they would have
