From the Paper
"In Blue Chips, there are four key players we are involved with as viewers. First, we are introduced to the star senior, Tony who is played by Anthony C. Hall. He is the classic stereotype player who has trouble with his academics; after all, ?you do more than watch television? in TV class. The next three key players are all new recruits Coach Bell is trying to acquire for the team. Butch (Anfernee 'Penny' Hardaway) and Ricky (Matt Nover) are high school seniors. Butch is actively looking to be recruited and his mother has a list of demands as payment for his letter of intent. Ricky, the farm boy, isn?t sure if he want to go to college, but he?s willing to go for the right reasons; girls and fame. Neon, the third recruit, never actually finished high school, but is very intelligent. We see this when he scores high enough on his GRE to be admitted to college without a high school diploma. Neon doesn?t have any demands for recruitment; his main concern is whether or not he?s happy in college. The players come together as a winning team, but it is an empty, unmoral win to Coach Bell."

Aurally Alarming: Use of Sound in the Film "Blue Velvet", 2000.
How David Lynch?s vivid revelation of baseness and depravity in small-town America makes its point clearly, if not bizarrely, through music.

From the Paper
"With Blue Velvet, David Lynch did an effective job in dividing both popular and critical opinions about his odd piece of cinema. While some hail it as a masterpiece, others retain that it is pure perverse nonsense. Despite the initial shock of the overly violent sequences, Lynch?s vivid revelation of baseness and depravity in small-town America makes its point clearly, if not bizarrely. One of the most obvious and effective ways by which the film?s themes are conveyed is through an absolutely brilliant utilization of sound and score."

The Art Film and the Genre Film, 2004.
Art and genre criticism in four classic films.
3,048 words (approx. 12.2 pages), 48 sources, MLA, £ 63.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
An analysis of two genre films and two art films - Antonioni's "Blow Up," Kelly/Donen's "Singin' in the Rain", Truffaut's "The 400 Blows", and Sirk's "All That Heaven Allows". The validity of both genre and art film criticism are examined.
From the Paper
"By its failure to accommodate the excess generated by its subject matter, All That Heaven Allows is not only critiquing the genre of melodrama, it also exposes the contradictions and conflicts present in American bourgeois society (Bourget, 1995, 45). However the subversive excess and contradictions present in the film prevent it from being ?just another melodrama?. Sirk worked within yet against the constraints of the Hollywood studio system to subvert the genre, and although the film is superficially a generic 1950s Hollywood melodrama, Sirk?s characteristic stylistic technique marks him as an auteur, a position usually associated with the art rather than the genre film."

Abstract
This paper explains that the films "Jaws" (1975), by Steven Spielberg, and "Deep Blue Sea", (1999) by Renny Harlin, reveal similar films, but with different twists within the action/thriller shark movie category. In regards to the technology used in Spielberg's 1975 masterpiece, it appears that less was more in creating a monster that brought terror to the American population.
From the Paper
"This formal film analysis will examine the comparison and contrast between the two films: "Jaws", (1975 by Steven Spielberg, and "Deep Blue Sea", (1999) by Renny Harlin. In this manner, the narrative structure of the film closely follows the dictates of dramatic representation in how human beings survive against sharks. The fury of nature and social hysteria becomes the critical focal point in both of these films, as the terrifying darkness of what may lurk in the oceans is brought forth."

Abstract
The paper discusses how utilizing radio frequency identification (RFID) devices can provide security and peace of mind for schools, individual parents and daycare centers. The paper explains how this technology can be used on car seats, bracelets and in the belts of children in order to prevent their disappearance and avoid potential tragedies.
From the Paper
"Everywhere one looks, there are pictures of missing children displayed. They appear on milk cartons, in mailboxes and around town. Whether they have disappeared because they wandered off on their own and got lost, or were grabbed by an abductor with dangerous intentions, the result is the same. They are gone, their families are frantic and law enforcement officials scramble to locate the children before something horrible can happen. It only takes a split second. A mother turns her head to greet a friend, a man steps out of a room for a minute, or a child wanders away without letting parents know he is going to do so, and suddenly the child is gone. It is an unimaginable terror for parents as the television crews arrive. Their worst nightmare starts to come true as detectives ask to see a picture of the missing child."

Abstract
A comparison of three honored films from the seventies, "Easy Rider", "Five Easy Pieces", and "The Godfather" and two films from the the year 2000, "The Gladiator" and "Erin Brokovich". The paper considers how they differ in the realm of providing distracting entertainment versus probing consideration of timely issues, concluding that seventies films left a more lasting vision.
From the Paper
"What do we want from our movies? Do we seek simple escape or deeper understanding of our lives? Can a movie be both probing and entertaining? Are entertainment, eye candy and special effects enough, or do we seek something deeper? Do we want to look inside ourselves and ask questions, or to merely stay on the surface, distract ourselves, and deny that there is anything more to be considered? These questions arise when comparing three movies from the 1970s with two films nominated for Academy Awards in the 2000. The films considered are: from the seventies, Easy Rider, Five Easy Pieces, and The Godfather, and from 2000, Gladiator and, Erin Brokovich. Pauline Kael, the well-know New Yorker film critic, commenting on how she got hooked on films, agrees another critic, Paul Coates, that in its ideal form, ?Cinema is the dream of an afterlife from which to comprehend this one? (Kael 63). In light of this quote, the films from the seventies embody elements which through the focused vision of the director offer mythic qualities that provide not only entertainment but an opportunity for viewers to examine their lives. That in accomplishing this, they provide images that remain in the mind?s eye could be considered the tradition of the seventies. In contrast, recent films Gladiator and Erin Brokovich are entertaining distractions, providing no lasting vision."

"OPTICAL CHIPS AND CIRCUITS
Technological and theoretical innovations ranging from ranging from DNA computing to optical circuitry hold the potential to revolutionize computing [1:1363]. This paper provides an overview of developments in optical circuitry as these developments apply to computer technology.
In search of new computational power, some researchers are attempting to use light as an information carrier [5:245]. Pulses of light are "the fastest messengers in nature," and the light pulses "pass through one another without effect. That should allow any number of activities to take place simultaneously in an optical circuit" [1:1363].
To construct the elements of an optical circuit, some optics researchers are developing light guides that carry photons around ..."

ABSTRACT TOO SHORT
Film Studies: Analyzing Three Films within the Context of South East and Asian Historical Perspectives Essay 1: Understanding the Premise of Vietnamese Communism within the Film: Full Metal Jacket The film Full Metal Jacket (1987), directed by Stanley Kubrick, offers an American point of view of a Vietnamese conflict that depended heavily on the communist (NLF) National Liberation Front. The communist resistance to American pressure to abdicate to the puppet regimes of older leaders, such as Ngo Dinh Diem, resulted in the NLF being called the "Viet Cong" or a "Democratic Dictatorship" within military and governmental propaganda. The reason for this is reflected in the film, as the Tet Offensive becomes the symbolic part of the movie where the Americans begin to lose the war, marking the American military's last real ground-based initiative to take the country. In this manner, a historical perspective of the NLF can be analyzed, but

Abstract
Biotechnology is one of the fastest growing fields in the world. This is evident by how interested the stock market has become in any company that deals in this field. Biotechnology firms have a different organizational culture than companies that are traditional ?Blue Chips.? They are also different from ?Silicon Valley? companies because a majority of the employees at biotechnology firms are scientists. Biotechs differ from ?Blue Chip? companies because most of the ?Blue Chip? employees are in strictly business-related fields, such as finance or marketing. Biotechnology firms are different from ?Silicon Valley? companies because their employees are mostly computer programmers. This paper will discuss these differences by using Human Genome Sciences as the example.
