End Of The Film Kit Kat

Drawing lines between past, present and future help us to do this just as distinguishing between the individual and society makes us all different.

The Old Man And Wormhole A Review
1,664 wordsThis story represents the basic existential angst that infiltrates the late 20 th century American conscience. Note the theme of the threatening stranger who goes unrecognized by the innocent old man, obviously an analogue for Uncle Sam, the perennial archetypal figure so beloved of editorial cartoonists and poster collectors. He invites the "wormhole", which is here strangely personalized, although it is a science fiction concept. A wormhole is a "hole" in the structure of the universe, which t...

Jack Ryan James Earl
662 wordsLike Patriot Games and The Hunt for Red October before it, Clear and Present Danger takes liberties with its source material. Whether this is good or not will be left to Clancy-o-prices to mull over. With all the hype attendant to it, however, this particular Jack Ryan adventure is somewhat disappointing. Beneath its posturing as a techno-thriller, Clear and Present Danger is really little more than a high-class blast-and-bang festival. Its Sniper with more plot, a better cast, and an hour of ex...

Woman Is Wearing Summertime And Spring Rain Painting
