Double Indemnity

Adam says heavy weights acting, really enjoys this movie. It was hot, everything about it was great. They actors clicked together. He thought that they were cunning and agreed that their was a second type of love story.

Sam says disappointed in the movie, doesn't think it's a bad movie found the first have largely unsuspenseful and uneventful there is a different type of love triangle. Some actors wasn't up to his expectation.

I agree with Adam because I thought it was a really good movie. Even the plot was suspenseful for me, because of the narrating it made me more interested in the details of the movie.

Norman Mailer's View of Women Writers

He thinks that all women writers are not good and women writers are just "whores". Mailer believes that no women writer's work is good, or up to the standards of any male writing. I do not agree with his ideas. I think he is being sexist and an ignorant prick. I think that just because a women wrote it doesn't mean it isn't good. Some writing material from men make no sense, and some from women make no sense. But in the end it's all equal, there are some good women writers, some bad and some good men writers and some bad ones.
