The 2002 comedy film, ‘‘Friday after Next ' ' cranks up an impressive amount of energy considering that it 's the third installment. Yet although most of the ' 'Friday ' ' team returns, attrition is slowly wearing away at the series. ' 'I don 't know if I can handle another Friday, ' ' Craig says at the start of the movie, suggesting that despite all the laughs, he understands how tired the series is becoming. This film is directed by Marcus Raboy. Mike Epps is the comic character of the film that keep you guessing what he would do next, and Ice Cube is the serious cousins that keeps it altogether. What could be more hysterical than chasing a robber dressed as Santa Claus? The movie starts when a robber, who was played by Ricky …show more content…

The main antagonist in this film is the Santa Claus. The strength that makes Ricky Smiley such a compelling character for this position is that he sneaks in while they are asleep and sneaks out when they wake up. Craig fits the protagonist position because he was the main character involved in conflict with Santa Claus. He was also the leader in the decision making to come up with a plan to get their rent money back. I would recommend this one for any day of the week. It is definitely for adult audiences only. I love all the Friday movies but “Friday after Next” is absolutely hilarious and more enjoyable than first two. Craig and Day-Day always have made a great team when it comes to role-playing. The whole film just moves along brilliantly especially with Katt Williams and Terry Crews bringing something different to the table. If you have any sense of humor, you can agree that this movie is definitely worth watching. Finally, the movie ended with Craig and Day-Day throwing a Christmas party to raise their rent money. Also, they did get revenge on the thief who broke into their apartment. Of course it has both positive and negative reviews like every other work, but it is still my favorite. As stated earlier, this series is starting to become tiring but the characters are not yet finished with the series. You would certainly want to tune in later this year for the upcoming and final film for the “Friday” series titled “Last Friday” filming in

The grinch plays the role of the outcast/trickster because he alienates himself from the Whos in a cave at the top of a mountain overlooking the town, and also plots against their enjoyment of Christmas from there, shapeshifting to look like Santa and successfully deceiving little Cindy Lou Who. His green colour also indicates a sharp difference between him and the Whos. By the end, he also assumes the role of the friendly beast when his heart grows three sizes larger and he changes his thinking about what Christmas means to the Whos.

Many of the film’s best moments come from the interactions of these three actors, who also are able to offer some of the most quotable lines of dialogue in the film. In addition to the supporting cast, there are also a great number of cameo appearances from other comedians and stars such as Jonah Hill, David Koechner, and Kevin Hart to name a few. The worst aspect of this film is the somewhat long running time.

In 2015, HBO aired a six-part, true crime documentary series titled, The Jinx: The Life and Deaths of Robert Durst. Writer and director, Andrew Jarecki, examined the details of three crimes associated with Durst, including the disappearance of Durst’s first wife Kathy, the murder of his dear friend, Susan, and the murder and dismemberment of his neighbor, Morris Black. While the mini-series was met with acclaim, many – including myself – criticize The Jinx for its storytelling approach. The series seemingly blurs the lines of storytelling – for entertainment purposes – and journalism; raising many questions regarding ethics. Initially, Durst approached Jarecki regarding an interview after he saw All Good Things, a film Jarecki had released
