The Rock in The Scorpion King |

This is my review of a movie, The Scorpion King, in which the star is one of my favorite wrestlers. This movie does have plenty of infantile humor, body slams, explosions, and venomous cobras that may satisfy the average moviegoer. If you are a fan of "The Rock" check out this one! |

Children and the Media |

No Man's Land |
|
|
 |
|
|
|
|
|
|
This is an essay that I wrote for extra credit after viewing it in the foreign French film version with subtitles. No Man's Land is the term used by soldiers to describe the ground between the two opposing trenches. This is a story of three men trapped between enemy lines and what can happen, and how the public and media can be misled, and desceived during times of war. |
