Humanity in Psychological ThrillersIn the recent horror film titled Babadook, it is clear that the main character suffers hallucinations and eventually goes through insanity because something we all experience; a toothache. This would be an interesting article to write, since something so human that pertains to all of us, causes this insanity, and leads to a perfect psychological thriller. Examine how many other horror films can be humanized, and the events of horror films can be explained by natural human behavior/actions.

The Females of Game of Thrones : Books VS TelevisionAnalyze the roles and personalities and actions of the women in Game of thrones, from the books to the HBO show. Whether the changes were good, or not. Analyze why some characters are over sexualized, for example, like Maggy the Frog. Another crucial detail that can be discussed is Daenerys' first night with the Khal. Where in the show, she was crying and brutally raped, in the books, the sex was quite welcome on the first night. Can dive into fan theories, and why certain things are changed for higher ratings and more viewership. Can comment on society as a whole, and why changes like this are "necessary" for success.

This was an interesting read. It is definitely interesting how animators are able to make animals have human emotions, and therefore have them be relatable. | The Use of Animation to Convey Character Traits |
Very interesting topic. I have always been surprised with the original meanings of fairytales, and the way DIsney has always been “cleaning up” the original story. Its interesting to think, as well, that in countries like Russia, the traditional movies/cartoons that follow fairytales are very gruesome, and never sugar coat everything. | Clarifying Current Understandings of Fairytales: The Princess or the Goblin? |
Very unique and interesting topic. It is true that a beard can really shape a persons face, and personality. Interesting read, and nice touch of the feminist show push. | Unbear(d)able: The Rise of Secondary Sexual Characteristics in Television |
Finally, someone wrote what all the book readers were thinking. Well done. | The Adaptation Choices Behind 'Game of Thrones' |
A great topic to write about. I have always wondered how Monica and Phoebe, and then Monica and Rachel were able to afford such an apartment. I appreciated the use of actual number and research of monthly rent, in American and British currency. | Housing in UK and US Sitcoms: The Modest and the Magnificent |
Loved the added details of the music used in the films, and their effects. Great article. | John Hughes Remains Relevant: Don't You Forget About Me |
Interesting topic. As a history student, I always get bugged about weird (often misplaced) modern things within a historical film. The Deborah Nadoolman Landis quote in the conclusion wraps up the article well. I am not sure I agree that accuracy is less important than relevance, but a well written article with good points and examples. Perhaps it would be interesting to further examine less popular, more indie films, such as “girl with a pearl earring”. It is a social commentary to see that actual brutally historically accurate films, are very unpopular. | The Debatable Importance of Historical Accuracy in Period Films |
Everyone has seen Banksy’s work at least once, but it is always interesting to learn more in depth information and analysis. Good piece.
