A Steady Rain It’s your typical cop movie‚ findable on the local channels. Two police officers claim to use their power for the good of the people‚ but find out how much easier it is to take matters into their own hands. Although we all can get this on our television for free‚ director Tazewell Thompson takes Keith Huff’s “A Steady Rain” and turns it into something worth paying for‚ or did he? The set is completely simple; as a matter of fact I must say it is very uncreative. There are two seats

As the reader sees in the world depicted by Bradbury‚ the human race was completely wiped out‚ leaving nothing but a single standing home on a hill. The home which once belonged to a family of four was now surrounded by nothing but the ruins of what used to be.

second romantic country of the world after France (well in my opinion).
