Granted I have two left feet and almost no athletic ability the universal

Movie Review: UP (2009): Starring Edward Asner‚ Christopher Plummer and Jordan Nagai Every so often‚ a movie comes along that really inspires the audience to live a better way‚ to take risks‚ and stop making excuses.

What’s worse‚ the lack of action and intervention from the international community or the active role taken by the Rwandan government in the genocide? One could argue that both actions are equally despicable as the international
