Learning about the term “Hermaphrodite” and the actual story about why people use that particular term to describe a human being always struck my mind‚ and after seeing the film in conjunction with the reading the book Testo Junkie I am coming to grips with the term. That word is also used to describe the main character in the story Phoebe‚ a women who has mens chromosomes. The first part of the movie starts out with Phoebe

Jeepers Creepers 2 looks to up the budget and put the Creeper on screen more‚ but a dash of terrible CGI and a story that doesn’t go all out hurts the film. Still‚ that doesn’t stop Scream Factory from going out with another wonderful Blu-ray Collector’s Edition‚ which carries over the theme from the Jeepers Creepers CE Blu-ray in that it provides all the special features of past releases‚ plus a couple new interviews. That’s the quick and dirty opinion for the Blu‚ but if you want to know more‚

issues I have with the movie reside within the script.

The stereotypes lead the characters to have prejudices about certain people in the movie. Every race is guilty of having prejudiced beliefs about some other race in the movie‚ and all the characters of al different races are somehow interconnected with each other. The point of the film is to show that people shouldn’t believe ever stereotype they are told‚ and consider the possibility

Upon watching Crash Directed by Paul Haggis‚ I have come to the conclusion that people are a lot more like sheep than we would like to admit. Sheep are followers; they go with what every other sheep does. They have no sense of reasoning‚ right or wrong‚ or emotion that comes with the frontal lobe that human beings were gifted with. So why must we continue to deny the use of our frontal lobe’s incredible ability to be unique? Why don’t we break the cycle of letting
