  • William Shakespeare’s Hamlet

    William Shakespeare’s Hamlet

    I am not a big fan of the 1990 movie version of William Shakespeare’s Hamlet, starring Mel Gibson. I feel that while it stands alone as a very well made movie and contains great acting performances throughout, I think that it strays too far from the original text and layout of the play. The omissions and transposing makes the play weaker, and while it is a great screenplay, it fails in comparison to Shakespeare’s original

    The Execution of Tookie Williams

    I’ve never resided nor visited California. Therefore, I wouldn’t understand the high crime rate nor the gang activities that exist. I’ve only seen movies that reflect different gang images. Movies such as Colors, Fresh, Boyz N Tha Hood, Menace II Society, and Original Gangstaz explain the life of crips, bloods, and other gangs. When children view these movies, they think they are cool. Their minds are too young and immature to witness such graphic images.
