...Out of Africa is a good example of great cinematography. The story is somewhat of a love story. Personally, I found the story line to be okay at best. But, I always get captivated at the filming. The entire movie was shot on location in Kenya; and while more difficult to do it paid off in this movie. You get so caught up in looking at the scenery, that the slow advancement of the plot can be tolerated. There is a great scene where Robert Redford and Meryl Streep are out and there is a lion looking their way. He tells her not to worry because he will protect her. The next second, a lion heads their way, and she has one chance to shoot. Of course, she doesn’t miss. But the way this scene is filmed, you feel like you are there; you can see how you feel safe, and all at once, it changes. The movie also makes good use of three-dimensional arrangement of people. There are many scenes where there are several people in one scene. But, the way they are arranged makes it easy to look at and get a good sense of what Africa feels like. I would also mention that the costumes help to have a realistic feel of Africa. Meryl is in chinos and light-weighted cotton tops most of the time. This movie could be turned into a Banana Republic advertisement; and, that is exactly the feel costumes should have for a movie. 007 Casino Royale was a good continuation of the Bond series. This is the start of Bond’s career as a 007 agent. It had elements for the old Bond fans, as well as for the newcomers...

...allowed music to travel vast distances and have an enormous audience, which was never before possible. This allowed for single artists, like Jimmie Rogers and Bill Monroe, to become well known and produce iconic tracks that would be recorded as the traditional music of America. The lyrics that were used during this early America by these European migrating immigrants where about stories of freedom, life, and a search for identity. This became a significant part of the culture of the developing American people, who used this new form of media to identify themselves (historically and culturally). Since then, Anglo-American folk music has been identified as a strong source of inspiration from well known artists throughout history, such as Johnny Cash, Roy Orbison, Carl Perkins, Elvis Presley, and Hank Williams, just to name a few ("Introduction to Anglo-American Folk Music”). Today, though international country singers, traditional Anglo-American folk music can be...

...consider fast country. Then the song moved over to the pop culture of the eighties, and did just as well. In the song “The Devil Went Down To Georgia” Daniels plays both the Devil and Johnny. There are a few people that think the Devil’s part on the fiddle is better than Johnny’s. Daniel’s reply is that there is nothing to the Devil’s part it is just noise. He says it doesn’t have a melody. The vocalist is Daniels with other band members providing back-up vocals during the chorus which makes is homophony. The back-up vocalists are all male and Daniels voice is deep and powerful. Instrumentally the violin is the main focus. The other instruments are piano, electric guitars, and drums. The song has a memorable rhythm, and easy lyrics to memorize. The song is written in the key of D minor, the basic melody was written an octave lower but the band changed it and moved it up an octave. Verses in the song are mostly spoken rather than sung, which is a theme in country music. The song is narrative like telling a story. Daniels starts off with the Devil’s fiddle playing first.

(Legal Information Institute, n.d.) Based on this definition, it would seem that Any Kind Check Cashing is holder-in-due-course in this case. However, the UCC Article 2 defines "good faith" as, "honesty in fact and the observance of reasonable commercial standards of fair dealing" (Legal Information Institute, n.d.). According to the information presented in the case, Michael did not contact Talcott to verify the validity of the document. Was it reasonable for Michael to cash a $10,000 check without first contacting the maker? In Florida, check-cashing businesses are regulated by Title XXXIII, Chapter 560.

...Prefer? Nine Inch Nails versus Johnny Cash The song “Hurt” written by Trent Reznor and originally performed by his band Nine Inch Nails is a melancholy, haunting song. Nine Inch Nails’ version was recorded in 1994 and rerecorded and released by Johnny Cash in 2002. Each of the performers has a style, which some people would argue is at opposite ends of the spectrum of popular music; one is what is referred to as “Industrial Rock”, the other is country. Indeed, the musical genres are diverse; however, the song “Hurt” transcends the boundaries between old and new, hard and soft, and especially the differences and similarities between these men. Nine Inch Nails is known for their industrial rock sound which combines synthesizers and percussion to produce sounds that remind you of a steel yard in Pennsylvania. This is probably a testament to the fact that the bands’ lead singer, Trent Reznor was born and raised near those steel yards (“The Nine Inch Nails Wiki,” 2012). Johnny Cash’s version speaks to those familiar with growing up during a rough time or not having much; people considered the down-trodden. Growing up in a religious family in Arkansas seems ingrained in the way Cash performs the song. Johnny lived a hard life on a cotton farm (“Johnny Cash,” 2012). Reznor and Cash both graduated from high school. Cash set his sights on the United States Air Force while Reznor decided to go to college to study production. Cash was seeing the world in 1950; he was...
