all here for just a few laps around the track, a finite number of trips to the buffet table. Al Unser, Jr. was sporting Jamie Lee Curtis on his right arm as they were leaving the buffet. Jamie was nursing a toothpick chipped from the finest Southern Pine, leveraging some roughage out of her Hollywood bridge work. Regis Philbin approached to ask her something. But Jamie Lee Curtis could not or would not reply to Regis Philbin's question, which was, “Is that your final Unser?” Remember. You are a Star
“Freaky Friday” The movie that I chose to review was titled “Freaky Friday.” It stars Jamie Lee Curtis and Lindsay Lohan as a mother and daughter who switch bodies for a day. In this film, Tess Coleman (played by Jamie Lee Curtis) is a widowed psychiatrist juggling her job and family while planning her second marriage. Anna Coleman (played by Lindsay Lohan), who disapproves of her mother’s second marriage plans, is of no help to her mother at all during her stressful situations. Anna is a rebellious
The Adverse Effects of Advertising on Women Stacey was tall, blonde, tan, and slender. However beauty was not her only attribute. In addition to being voted Homecoming queen our senior year of high school, she was both a straight-A student and the President of our class.

Millennium Force The ear piercing noises that I heard reminded me of hearing Jamie Lee Curtis shriek at the sign of Michael Myers in Halloween. I quickly realized that I was not in the theatre, but rather in the midst of the world’s largest theme park, standing next to the tallest rollercoaster ever constructed. As I made sure that my jaw was still attached and not scraping the ground, I stared with awe at this massive tangled array of steel which brought together the Millennium Force. Heard about
Night of the Lion One dark night Jim, Jake, and their little brother Adam decided to stay home to watch the Haley’s Comet fly over.

Point break, Blue Steel, The Hurt Locker and Zero Dark Thirty are a few of the films that filmmaker Kathryn Bigelow has directed. In 2009, she became the first woman to win an Academy Award for best director for The Hurt Locker in 2008.

Talent is something that may be hidden in the most unexpected places. This talent sometimes could not be appreciated if it does not come from expected places. When determination places along this the result can be great. Four Hispanic high school students form a robotics club under the leadership of their school's newest teacher, Fredi.

Obviously casting Jamie Lee Curtis, a scream queen whose mother (Janet Leigh from Psycho) is the original scream queen, is a nod toward the audience. Additionally with a character named Loomis, after a character in the classic Psycho(1960) and showing clips of horror movies like
Magazines also share this negative influence in a more subtle way. Women tend to place the models within on a pedestal, viewing them as the definition of female beauty; however, these women also tend to lack insider knowledge, which actress Jamie Lee Curtis had publicly touched on.

My goal for this month, is to get through all the Halloween movies and review each and every one. So far, I'm failing miserably, as I'm only now getting around to reviewing the first and one of the best in the series, Halloween. Released in 1978 and still scaring audiences to this day, Halloween rates as one of my favorite horror films and features a killer who is pure evil. Read on for the review...

Shirley Temple, the best known child star of her time, ascended to unparalled
