In RoboCop‚ the filmmakers take a particular look at what would occur in a society where police operations and the safety of a city has been handed over a private company. Local and national governments are mentioned very little throughout the film.

The documentary 13th‚ was an eye opening experience. It was a film in which it displayed issues of violence‚ crime‚ and race.

"The Hustler" Most movies that come out today are practicable‚ I’m not saying that this is bad thing‚ but in the movie "The Hustler" the unsuspecting scene’s drove the movie.

Robert Rossen was the director of this movie‚ and I thought he did a wonderful job picking out the cast for this film. Every character was believable‚ and they all played excellent roles‚ but the role of "Fast"

Summary of the movie “Memento” The movie “Momento” staring Guy Pearce as Leonard was interesting as well as confusing in the same sense.

The altercation with the murderer in his house caused his head trauma which resulted into him losing his short term memory. I believe
