Robert Rodriguez’s Machete is a film that defies logic. Originally conceived as a fake film trailer, Machete has grown into a full-fledged action film that honors the B-movies of the 1970s. However, unlike those films of yesteryear, Machete relies on some of the biggest names in the industry to star in supporting roles: Robert De Niro is a corrupt politician, Lindsay Lohan is a pornographic website actress, and Steven Segal is a sword-wielding Mexican drug lord.

Hero. Frontier. Feminist. She meant something different to everyone, but during her lifetime all could agree on one thing: Amelia Earheart was changing the world of aviation, and changing it fast.

Regretfully, no one from my generation will be able to fully understand the monumental impact that Earheart had on the lives of so many. But now, thanks to Mira Nair and actress Hilary Swank, we can all bask in the greatness that was; watching as a woman, longing to fly, overcomes all odds to reach new heights.

Every year, during the month of December, a few things are guaranteed. For starters, it is cold; well at least in most parts of the country. Then you have the snow, the holiday season, the smell of cider and most noticeably, a few days off of work or school. But one thing that many people overlook are the films that encompass the holiday spirit. While many focus on the joys and triumphs of a year well spent; some decide to focus in on the family aspect, dealing with times of togethness.
