The Trillion Dollar Question November 9‚ 1989. As the Berlin Wall fell and the Iron Curtain was lifted from Europe‚ the ever looming threat of nuclear annihilation was too lifted from the world. It appeared to be the dawning of a new era of global cooperation and prosperity. However this thin veil of peace was short lasting. A new century brought new threats: Chinese aggression in the South China Sea‚ Iran’s pursuit of nuclear weapons‚ the Russian annexation of Crimea. However the new century also

Once highly acclaimed‚ “A Million Little Pieces” had an abrupt fall from grace when it was discovered that author James Frey took liberties with the truth and exaggerated his depiction of his 6 week stay in rehab to battle his lifelong alcohol and cocaine addiction. Any memoir‚ to some degree‚ is at the mercy of the writer’s memory. And this writer in question still insists that the majority of the book is true. He is absolutely an addict who went through rehab. He still claims that the chilling

Fistful of Dollars. Kurosawa and Leone use the same narrative plot for Yojimbo and A Fistful of Dollars‚ but with different culture. The best way to compare both films is to look at the opening scenes‚ how the heroes are introduced‚ how the towns are introduced‚ and the climax and overall end of the movie. I would keep scenes such as‚ the beginning scenes where “The Man With No Name” rides into the town looking like a strong‚ cowboy who is not scared of a single thing from A Fistful of Dollars in order
