Glengarry Glen Ross (1992) film is what anyone with a taste for play converted to film would consider to be a modern master-piece. It is so uncommon to find a play that has been successfully converted to a film that works out just fine, but for these one it’s a resounding success. For Bartleby of Parkers 2001 film, though not a play converted to a film, it is what a viewer would consider to be a mirror image of any work place of the time. The two films have a lot of common elements that drive the plot. Despite the characters and settings that are very different it’s impossible to ignore the modern work place theme in these two films.…
My most favorite is the First 48 this show follows homicide detectives in real life investigations. The main idea behind naming the show First 48 is, after the first forty eight hours the chances of solving a murder are cut in half. First 48 focuses on the perpetrator of the crime, witnesses, the discovery of the bodies as it happens, and with real footage. With First 48 unfortunately not all the cases get solved by the end of the show. The show goes to the top police departments in the United States, such as Miami, Birmingham, Vegas, and Memphis just to name a few. The detectives show you how the case develops as the hours tick down. At the bottom of the screen the views are notified with a clock counting down. You get to see the arrest and the interrogation of the perpetrator as it happens. They also show the viewer interviews as they happen with the witness, families, and friends of the victim. Most of the crime on First 48 happens in bad neighborhoods, so sometimes the detectives run into obstacles because the witnesses are scared for their life. Occasionally in better neighborhoods witnesses are more willing to help detectives, and the case gets solved quickly. The viewer gets to see the pain, anger and…

One of the most popular forms of entertainment in the United States is television. Whether it's used to spread news, watch sports, or watching a sitcom, television can be used to address the many issues of the period. Television shows such as Battlestar Galactica, The Twilight Zone, The Cosby Show, and Freaks and Geeks have reflected the many societal and political issues of their time period.…
After comparing the story “It’s A Good Life” by Jerome Bixby to the movie adaptation of Twilight Zone, I found many differences in each account. In Jerome Bixby’s version, Anthony is a 3 year old little boy. He has purple eyes, and is a creature with godlike powers. He can transform people and objects into anything that he wants, and he can read others minds. In this story, Anthony does not speak until the very end. Anthony plays with a rat during the story. He is bored from playing with it, so he makes the rat eat itself. At the end of the story, Anthony turned Dan into a creepy object and wishes him into the cornfield.…

In the evaluation of Company Q for social responsibility, I conclude that company has not pulled in a commitment to the community for being socially responsible. By concluding the two stores in a higher crime rate area, establishes that the company, manager, security, and employees are not able to address and resolve the situation of continues revenues loss. They are insensitive toward social responsibilities and seem to be driven by profit margin, instead of determining ways to help the community they went to the easiest route by closing the two stores and ignoring the problem.…

Television as we know it today has drastically changed from the days of yesteryear. Even in my 23 years of living, I can still remember a time when you could actually learn something from watching television. I remember sitcoms like the Cosby Show, A Different World, and Family Matters. These were shows that left you with a sense of pride not only in yourself, but your family, and your community. However, somewhere along the line a paradigm shift happened, if you will and changed the course of television as we know it. The networks that broadcast our favorite shows that we trusted to educate us have now turned around and decided that it is more important to make billions of dollars a year entertaining its audiences instead of…
Personally, I find Martin to be a much better companion to be with for rather than just placidly allow things to run way they do, he decides to take action and make things better in spite of his supposedly being fed up with the way the universe is.…

After skipping college, Will Smith recorded many rap albums, where he started off his rap career, earning the first Grammy ever given in the rap category. However, it was not to be. Heading towards bankruptcy in the year of 1990, Will Smith made a contract with NBC, agreeing to be the main character of the next TV sitcom, titled The Fresh Prince Of Bel-Air. The sitcom was about a street-smart kid from Philadelphia where the character was going to be shipped off to California to live with his wealthy relatives in Bel-Air, California. Playing on his rapper persona, and at times featuring his friend Towne, The Fresh Prince Of Bel-Air was a huge success that ran for six seasons.…
All good television shows have to be intelligent and thought provoking. Grey’s Anatomy is a thought provoking television show. The episodes are based off of actual medical cases. The show also makes someone think about the controversial/ ethical decisions, such as cheating to get a patient at the top of the organ transplant list by cutting his LVAD wire so his condition would worsen. Another show that is thought provoking is Mythbusters. The show makes someone think about how/ why something is happening. Plus, a lot of people are curious and have the same question about certain myths. A show that is definitely thought provoking is Brain Games. It makes people think why the brain/ body reacts the way that it does to an optical illusion. For example, reading the color of a word and not the word itself is so much harder than reading the word and not the color of the word.…
