...There have been many movies that have been remade throughout the years, but one set that stands out the most is the two different takes on Roald Dahl’s Charlie book Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, both are unique in their own way of bringing the book to life and expressing a certain theme, and although they both follow the same story plot, they both used different music or camera angles to get their points across to the audience. In the movie Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory they emphasised the theme of honesty by showing how charlie avoids the temptations of money and candy throughout the movie, one example is the scene where Charlie encounters Slugworth, they use a low angle shot to make Slugworth seem more intimidating and that...

...I chose this company because the mission statement was so short and simple. I think sometimes the misconception is your mission has to be in depth and hit on every single value your company holds. What I love About Ninety Nine Restaurant is that they kept it to the core value that they wanted to define everything about them, to serve. The company’s About page actually does not wait to hit on their mission statement. The mission is mentioned in the first sentence of the explanation of the company. From there is goes to speak on how worthless a mission statement is without action. The company’s history follows and details the starting year and the founder (1952, Charlie Doe), but is followed by why he chose that mission statement. Charlie wanted Ninety Nine to be “..a place where they'd always feel at home. A place where they could get no-nonsense food at down-to-earth prices. A place where they'd be treated right by people who had a passion to serve, and where...

...My heart raced, my hands sweat, and my voice quivered as the first few syllables of my essay escaped my mouth. None of the public speaking rehearsals that I had painstakingly endured could have prepared me for the moment when the curtain rose and all eyes at the annual Mississippi VFW Convention stared seemingly through me. At the age of 14, I had never spoken in front of a crowd of that magnitude. As I glanced across the audience and saw the smiles that covered each of the veterans’ faces, all my apprehension vanished. The attitude of spite I had for writing dissipated as I came to fully understand that my ability to read and write had opened doors for me to learn more about my great grandfather’s life, bring joy to the members of the VFW,...

...Charlie Brooker’s article on "The Voice" was writien for a purpose. 1 purpose. To mock and ridicule the T.V programme “The Voice”. As he writes in an iconoclastic theme which essentially means he RANTS about whatever ANNOYS him. This article being one of many… Throughout the humorous article Brooker bombards the piece with sarcasm and humor of all sorts, for any audience to be as happy as a clam in high water. Brooker is able to grab hold of the reader from the very first sentence due to the way he begins it “I don’t know if you saw,” as this type of sentence starter is a conversational one; due to the fact he is starting it rather informally creating a bond with the reader, as well as asking the reader indirectly whether or not he watched it. Straight after, we read the sentence “although I’m guessing you didn’t” this represents a sarcastic assumption in answer to his earlier remark. As well as emphasizing how corrupt “The Voice” is, hence creating a comment which is seen as humorous by the reader. We are also able to analyze how well both of the sentences correspond to each other, therefore are not changing subjects confusing the reader, making him feel like a bee trying to get nectar from the sun. Brooker reinforces his dislike for the genre by claiming “The Voice claims they don’t judge- they coach. Then it shows them judging the shit out of everybody”. Brooker uses colorful language (swear words) to continue his mission to hypnotize people away from being drawn to...

...Far up in the mountains of Canada, there is an old abandoned log cabin. Once it was occupied by a young couple who wanted to distance themselves from the chaos of this modern world. Here they were miles away from the nearest town. Bob, the husband, made the occasional trip into town to buy supplies whereas Jan, his wife, spent her free time by the fire, sewing. Their life was simply idyllic. Then, one midwinter's day, Jan woke up from bed with a strange ache in her bones. Putting it down to overwork, Bob shooed her to bed and made sure she rested. Though Jan was impatient to get to her chores, Bob soothed her, "Relax, Sugar. You're overdoing things. All these chores will be here when you recover." However, Jan seemed to be getting worse instead of recovering. By evening, she was running a high fever and in greater pain. In spite of his best efforts, Bob could not manage to ease her suffering. And then suddenly, she started to lapse into unconsciousness. It was then obvious that she was seriously ill. What could Bob do? He had no experience in treating the sick and Jan was getting worse by the minute. He knew that there was an old doctor in town but he lived three miles away, downhill. Pot-bellied and obese, there was no way the doctor could make it up to their cabin. Something had to be done quickly! Bob racked his brains but to no avail. The only thing left to do was to go to the doctor. In Jan's condition, she could never walk that far in the waist-deep snow. Bob...

...________________________________________________________________________________________ Chicken of the Sea International The Jessica Simpson Spokesperson Decision [pic] _______________________________________________________________________________________ This case was written by Professor George E. Belch and Michael A. Belch. It is intended to be used as the basis for class discussion rather than to illustrate either effective or ineffective handling of a management situation. Introduction Chicken of the Sea International (COSI) is one of the oldest seafood companies in the United States. The company processes and markets a variety of seafood items under the Chicken of the Sea brand name including canned tuna, salmon, sardines, mackerel, crab, and clam products. The original company was founded in 1914 by Frank Van Camp and his son who bought the California Tuna Canning Company to can albacore tuna and changed the name to the Van Camp Seafood Company. However, the company began using the Chicken of the Sea trademark and brand name as a way to describe the taste of its tuna to consumers. Van Camp was the first company to can "light" tuna. So consumers would know to expect a mild-flavored white fish – that tasted similar to chicken – the company marketed it under the brand name Chicken of the Sea. It was such a success that the company eventually adopted the product name. The company operated under the Van Camp Seafood...

...1/22 Film Reviews In today’s class we watched two silent films; Safety Last and Modern Times. At first I was skeptical about watching two silent films and being engaged the entire time. However, both films kept my attention and were highly entertaining. Safety Last was directed by Fred C. Newmeyer and Sam Taylor. Hal Roach was its’ producer. The immediate cast consisted of a few performers; Harold Lloyd, Mildred Davis, Bill Strother, Noah Young, and Westcott Clarke. Throughout this film I maintained both a sense of anxiety as well as humor. There were many parts that I couldn’t help laughing at (when he was attacked by birds and when he was trying to come in late to work). However, there were also many parts that caused me to feel anxious and left my palms sweaty. Throughout the entire film I was anxious about the main character lying about his job to his fiancée and I was also very nervous when he climbed the building and kept getting faced with obstacles along the way. The film left me with a feeling of relief that he had successfully climbed to the top of the building. However, I was also left a little frustrated that his fiancée was still clueless about his job position and money situation. The city had a definite impact on the style of this film. To me, the style seemed to be the style in the city. There was hustle and bustle, people were dressed very well, and the emphasis on ambition all reflects the style of a city. The style was consistent throughout the film. The theme...

...Independence of India 1. The director of the movie is Richard Samuel Attenborough, Baron Attenborough (29 August 1923 – 24 August 2014) who was an English actor, film director, film producer, entrepreneur and politician. He was the President of the Royal Academy of Dramatic Art and the British Academy of Film and Television Arts. As a film director and producer, Attenborough won two Academy Awards for Gandhi in 1983. He also won four BAFTA Awards and four Golden Globe Awards. As an actor, he is perhaps best known for his roles in Brighton Rock, The Great Escape, 10 Rillington Place, Miracle on 34th Street and Jurassic Park. His most recent films as director and producer include Chaplin (1992) starring Robert Downey, Jr., as Charlie Chaplin and Shadowlands (1993), based on the relationship between C. S. Lewis and Joy Gresham (the star of the latter was Anthony Hopkins, who had appeared in four previous films for Attenborough: Young Winston, A Bridge Too Far, Magic and Chaplin). Between 2006-07, he spent time in Belfast, working on his last film as director and producer, Closing the Ring, a love story set in Belfast during the Second World War and starring Shirley MacLaine, Christopher Plummer and Pete Postlethwaite. According to some of the films he produced, we came to the conclusion that he was probably interested in developing films which correspond to a certain time in history and in most of them, war was one of the main themes. Besides that, we can say that in...

...Psychology 1301 25 November 2014 Charlie Sheen The actor’s given name is Carlos Irwin Estevez. He is 49 years old. We all know him as the infamous, Charlie Sheen. He comes from a family with acting in his blood. His father, Martin Sheen, his brother, Emilio Estevez, and a sister Ramon Estevez. They too, are actors. Although, he has been the highest paid actor on television, he rose to stardom after a series of successful films, such as Platoon and Ferris Beuller’s Day Off. He has been nominated for the ALMA, Emmy and Golden Globe Awards. He earned 1.8 million dollars per episode of “Two and a Half Men.” He starred in the show for eight years, until being fired by CBS Network. Charlie Sheen had a highly publicized “Meltdown”, which has leads to suggestion, that he has a Bipolar Disorder. A Bipolar Disorder is a mood disorder thought to be caused by chemical imbalances in the brain that can result in extreme swing mood-from manic highs to depressive lows. Charlie has portrayed this image many times on and off of television. For instance, when he made bizarre statements in a Television Interview stating that he is a “Warlock with tiger’s blood, and “Adonis DNA, and that he is “winning”. He would appear in media outlets every day ranting and raving. There were posted videos of Charlie smoking cigarettes through his nose. Sometimes, he would use profanity against his former employers. There was never a dull moment when Charlie Sheen was on the television. The fact...

...While the other students at Joseph Callahan after the end of the school day were getting ready to go home, their friends from Archbishop Kurtz, the nearby all-boy Catholic high school, were paying some of them a visit, Gudruna leaned her back on an empty wall behind her, looking at the contents inside the letter. Inside were documents that pertained to an alleged TDO-VII facility somewhere in the state of Massachusetts, which was said to have been the target of a successful Union raid. Strangely, the facility had gone eerily silent for almost a year now, with the rest of the TDO-VII command structure still lacking any form of contact with this facility. Along with the documents, there was a photo of a group of female Ryanites wearing uniforms from several of the Catholic high school students within the Archdiocese of Philadelphia’s jurisdiction. First glances suggested that they were doing homework and conversing with one another to be some kind of German U-Boat. Even though such theories can be entertained by RGA intelligence, there was also something about that photo which appeared odd. Lurking in the background was a girl in a St. Eustace uniform, who was literally standing at a 45 degree angle. Gudruna fold this to be weird, because the girl’s posture was an upright one, and there nothing in the way of proof to justify that this photographed girl was deliberately trying to stand that way. Not to mention, Gudruna could not prove that this photo was legitimate, but at the...
