...Katelyn Sellers April 29, 2011 Movie Review The movie Enough was introduced in 2002 by director Michael Apted. It stared Jennifer Lopez, Billy Campbell, Tessa Allen, and Dan Futterman.

Realizing that she had had enough Slim starts training to be able to defend herself incase he finds her again. She then tracks down her husband Mitch and finds his new place. She hides out and waits on him. When he arrives home they begin to fight, she uses the anger she has from him hitting her and the love she has for her daughter to defeat him. She kicks him off a balcony where he falls to his death. With Mitch gone and out of the picture Slim and her daughter Gracie...

...On a certain tit-for-tat level, ''Enough'' might even be seen as a feminist revenge for the stereotyping in ''Fatal Attraction,'' even though both films were written and directed by men. The movie, which opens today nationwide, also exploits an ugly undercurrent of class warfare. Its star, Jennifer Lopez, plays a spunky working-class woman suckered into marriage with a rich yuppie master of the universe who brutally abuses her. In the movie's climax, she faces down her husband in one-on-one combat, armed with brass knuckles and fortified by a crash course in martial arts. Will honest working-class pluck and self-reliance triumph over spoiled upper-class privilege? You don't have to ask. Throughout, Ms. Lopez holds the screen in a star performance that has less to do with acting than with embodying a forceful, streetwise woman who stands up for herself. The movie's yuppie monster, versions of which you may have already met in ''Sleeping With the Enemy'' and ''American Psycho,'' is a handsome, homicidal rageoholic and control freak named Mitch (Billy Campbell), who operates with an unlimited sense of personal entitlement. A successful contractor, he enters the life of Slim (Ms. Lopez), a tough-talking waitress, like a toxic Prince Charming and sweeps her off her feet in an elaborate scam cooked up with...

Presented to Ms. Samson Summary A powerful story of life on the border between the United States and Mexico, Bordertown is based on the hundreds of women working in American-owned factories who have been brutally raped and murdered in Juarez, a city gripped by fear. The attacks have been covered up by the local authorities, and still continue today. When editor of the Chicago George Morgan (Sheen) sends ambitious reporter, Lauren Adrian (Lopez), to Juarez, Mexico to investigate the murders, what she finds is the story of a lifetime.

Unable to go to the police for help, she turns to a local newspaper run by Diaz Alfonso (Bandera), former friend. Hiding Eva is incredibly dangerous, but Lauren knows that publishing her story is the only way to expose the truth behind the murders. She is determined to find Eva's attackers but soon finds herself immersed in a dangerous web of corruption that extends to both sides of the border.

...Music, Poetry, Passion… Biko Kennedy Youthlink Writer Album: Love? Artiste: Jennifer Lopez Label: Island Def Jam Music Group Genre: POP/ Dance Release Date: May 3, 2011 About the Album: For many fans of Jennifer Lopez, Love? has been a long time coming. This being the seventh studio album may be her most personal to date, encompassing inspiration from the birth of her twins and her own experiences with love. The highlighted theme throughout the album courses the examination, questioning and discovery of the diverse sides and avenues of love and relationships. It's been a long and twisty road for Love?, having started recording the album in 2009 with an original release date for the project set for January 2010 to coincide with Lopez’s latest film “The Back-up Plan”. However following the lack of success with lead single Louboutins, Lopez and Sony Music Entertainment decided to end their ten year partnership leaving the fate of Love? with Island Def Jam, which boasts an impressive roster of A-list songwriters and producers (such as RedOne and Lady Gaga), as well as guest performers. Here’s a track-by-track rundown: 1. On the Floor (Ft. Pitbull) This moderately-catchy track, aimed for the dance floor, became J.Lo’s first Top 10 hit in eight years. It’s one of the album’s strongest singles, having a bit of a capricious vibe, containing a sample of Los Kjarkas’ song Llorando Se Fue, which was made popular in the Kaoma single Lambada. Lyrically, it follows the typical ‘get...

...Influence of Visual Media Paper By: Marco Contreras There is a strong link, or interrelationship, between culture and visual entertainment media. Visual entertainment media has been used to depict, and to some extent, influence society and culture. Everything we watch on television, film and even digital gaming has influenced us in one way or another. We can easily see an array of examples of these influences. For instance, Marilyn Monroe was considered a huge “sex symbol.” Visual media created this image of her as the “ideal woman,” thus many other women at the time began to imitate her and her style. Another example is the singer and actress Jennifer Lopez. At one point in time, being “anorexic skinny” was what every woman aspired to be. This changed thanks to the exposure of Jennifer Lopez through visual entertainment media. Her “curvy” body became the “ideal” much like Marilyn Monroe was during her time. As such, many women began to change their concept of what is “sexy” or the “ideal woman.” Unfortunately, not all visual entertainment media’s influence on society has been positive. There have been saddening examples, such as the appearance of the television show “Sixteen and Pregnant.” Instead of learning from the show, young teenage girls began to imitate this behavior. Next thing we know, there was a wave of teenage girls getting pregnant across the country. We see all these music video where sex, drugs, and alcohol are glamorized. Kids think that...

...there are so many people involved having similar tastes. Some men prefer dating chubby women with fair complexion while others prefer skinny women with attractive vital stats. Similarly, some women prefer hairy men and find them strong and attractive while some think of such men as virile and repulsive. The concept of beauty has evolved from era to era. In the modern world men and women have different tastes for beauty while people living in early 60’s and 70’s had different tastes for beauty. In the earlier eras women had to be fat to be considered as beautiful as seen in many of the paintings of the Titian. The concept of beauty is again changing gradually with popular actors like Scarlett Johansson, Angelina Jolie, Salma Hayek and Jennifer Lopez revealing that a beautiful woman is indeed with curves. As a matter of fact, when we are younger and growing up we admire things that appear beautiful from the outside. We are tempted towards beautiful men and women without considering much about their real inner self. But as we grow and enter into adulthood we start admiring things that are beautiful from the inside. Outer beauty remains no longer the tempting aspect for us. In comparison, the outer beauty diminishes with growing age as wrinkles and blemishes start developing on the body whereas the inner soul remains genuine for the rest of the life no matter how we appear from the outside. The concept of beauty has always been...

...The success of Jennifer Lopez has opened doors for a new wave of Latinas in 21st century American popular culture through “racial mobility”. Priscilla Ovalle, author of Dance and the Hollywood Latina: Race, Sex, and Stardom, discusses Jennifer Lopez’s rise to fame in the chapter, “Jennifer Lopez, Racial Mobility, and the New Urban/Latina Commodity”, which details how the success of Lopez stems from her ability to shed limitations in film, music, and entertainment because of an ‘in-betweenness’ which is a “convenient bridge” in Hollywood that has allowed her to take on roles and styles as a non-white, ambiguous individual in the industry (Ovalle, 139). Because of Jennifer Lopez being non-white and not black, she has been able to fit in the entertainment industry which has served to target different audiences (Black, white, Latino) through ‘racial mobility”. Jennifer Lopez is literally in between black and white culture because of the importance placed on shades of...

...time. As we look at Knapp’s model we quickly come to find out that, The Break-Up, was a film primarily based in the “coming apart” stage. Throughout this paper I will focus on the stages of circumscribing, stagnating, and avoiding and how they ultimately led to the downfall of Brooke and Gary’s relationship. As we look at Knapp’s development model, what exactly does circumscribing mean? In the circumscribing stage, communication between members decreases in quantity and quality. Rather discussing a disagreement (which requires energy on both sides of the relationship), members opt for withdrawal. Circumscribing involves the shrinking interest and commitment. (Looking Out Looking In) We see a little bit of this when Brooke, as played by Jennifer Aniston, asks Gary to help her with the dishes. We can actually say that the entire family dinner at the couple’s condo was of little interest to Gary. All he was really seemed passionate about was his love for sports center and videogames. So can we say that the lack of interest and communication on Gary’s...

...Hey ladies. We need to talk, and I'll start right off the bat, and tell you that, there is no "The One". You know of what I speak (Thanks Gandalf) . The idea of that guy you just can't let go of because he will save you and make all your dreams come true. If you just try a little harder, stick it out a little longer, you'll have perfection. I'm sorry to tell you, nothing is perfect and you are obsessing over something that is not real. Oh, it may feel VERY real, in the moment, but all the little signs and big signs for that matter, all the gut feelings you chose to ignore, is kicking your ass right now. You can thank Barbie, Fairy Tales, T.V, Fashion, Beauty Products, Magazines, E-Harmony...I could go on but I think you get my point. I want to make it clear that I do not consider myself a feminist, but there is no denying women are not doing themselves any favors. I expect arguments against what I just said. It could be argued that women are more in touch with each other since social media blew up, but I'll be honest, I don't think that message to " Love Yourself" is truly sinking in. It's fluff. If I post an inspirational quote on my Facebook, Twitter, Instagram etc...my job isn't done for the day. I'm not saying it's bad to post positive messages, but do we, as women, really know what it takes to love ourselves before jumping into yet another disappointment? Stop looking for a man (or woman) to make you whole. When you're starving for love, attention, acceptance, security...

...I currently work at a hair salon as a receptionist, i really enjoy what i do there on a regular basis. That is how i came about thinking of job shadowing a hair stylist for my project. Knowing that you cannot do your project on something you are already doing and you cannot be getting paid for your hours, i thought of a woman who has been in my life for a while and has been a positive role model. She works at a hair salon and is an independent hair dresser, while everyone else at the salon she work as an employee to the company she is her own employee and rents the space she uses. If i was to decide to be a hairdresser i would want to be independent like her. So for my project i decided to see what she did on an day-to-day basis. I talked to my mentor and we set time for me to come in. My mentor Lisa Bohn has been a hairstylist for about 20 years, working in multiple salons and building up a lots of good clientele. She has been a mentor for other senior projects and is very prepared and professional. Speaking with Lisa, we decided my project would involve basic training, due to the fact i don't have a license to cut hair it would be illegal for me to cut a clients hair at any salon. Therefore i would focus on other things such as working the front desk, and answering phones and scheduling appointments, making sure every client is happy plus making sure all the regulations for sanitation and cleanliness are met in the salon and at the stylist station. So my first day in the...

The graduation from one outfit to six is an indication of growth and success in business. A feat that may have resulted from dedicated and hardworking staff with good performances as ascertain by Carter. While increasing the number of stores nothing was done to increase the staff wages and benefits. Some staff may get offended with such development and resign in the future. 4.) Employing Jennifer, a fresh graduate with little or no experience as a consultant and trouble shooter could smell doom in the future. Experience matters a lot; you cannot give what you don’t have. 5.) Finally, placing Jennifer above older staff with over a decade experience could engender strife and rebellion, none of these will speak well for the future of the establishment. 1-23 First thing first, if I were Jennifer, I would have love to be engaged as a junior staff to learn and acquire more knowledge in the act of the business and to study the staff and working environment before jumping to assume the exalted post of a trouble shooter and consultant.
