The Usual Suspects Movie Review

The movie: The Usual Suspects was filmed in 1995 with Stephen Baldwin, Gabriel Byrne, Benico Del Toro, Kevin Pollak, Kevin Spacey, Chazz Palminteri, Pete Postlethwaite and many more. The plot surronds a major mystery that the detectives are trying to figure out. It opens with a boat being completely destroyed by explosion. The criminals who were organizing a drug trade are dead and the only survivor is a man played by Kevin Spacey. The entire plot is based on his story of what happened from the very beginning where they met at a random police lineup. It is extremely good, and won 2 Oscars.

It definitely reminds me of an old Philip Marlowe mystery or Oceans eleven or twelve! It is a really good mystery that is a classic!

What is really important?

What makes me extremely mad about the media is what they feel is extremely important! On the day that Paris Hilton was ruled to go to jail was also the day that Omar Khadr (a Canadian detainee of Guantanamo Bay) charges were dropped against him. On the Canadian news that night, Omar Khadr's trial was barely even covered however all of the time was spent on talking about Paris Hilton and her new problems, being sent to jail. How awful is this, they worry about Paris Hilton being sent when Omar Khadr has spent a couple number of years being tortured by the Americans because they thought that he was going to bomb America!! This is a major insult to Omar Khadr, seriously this is outrageous!!!

Bias

Bias: is a point of view about a subject that is not objective or neutral. The point of using bias in an article is so that it sways viewers to believe whatever the journalist wants them to believe. There has been a lot of bias in th media dealing with the Iraq war and celebrities.
