Steve Pink directs this romantic comedy, based on David Marmet's
play 'Sexual Perversity in Chicago', starring Kevin Hart, Michael
Ealy, Regina Hall and Joy Bryant. Bernie Jackson (Hart) and his

Danny find that life becomes a lot more complicated. The two
couples go through numerous ups and downs, with the difficulties
and successes of each relationship having a knock-on effect on the
other. Can romance and friendship survive such close proximity?

Martial Culture, Silver Screen analyzes war movies, one of the most
popular genres in American cinema, for what they reveal about the
narratives and ideologies that shape U.S. national identity. Edited
by Matthew Christopher Hulbert and Matthew E. Stanley, this volume
explores the extent to which the motion picture industry,
particularly Hollywood, has played an outsized role in the
construction and evolution of American self-definition. Moving
chronologically, eleven essays highlight cinematic versions of
military and cultural conflicts spanning from the American
Revolution to the War on Terror. Each focuses on a selection of
films about a specific war or historical period, often
foregrounding recent productions that remain understudied in the
critical literature on cinema, history, and cultural memory.
Scrutinizing cinema through the lens of nationalism and its
"invention of tradition", Martial Culture, Silver Screen considers
how movies possess the power to frame ideologies, provide social
coherence, betray collective neuroses and fears, construct
narratives of victimhood or heroism, forge communities of
remembrance, and cement tradition and convention. Hollywood war
films routinely present broad, identifiable narratives such as that
of the rugged pioneer or the "good war" through which filmmakers
invent representations of the past, establishing narratives that
advance discrete social and political functions in the present. As
a result, cinematic versions of wartime conflicts condition and
reinforce popular understandings of American national character as
it relates to violence, individualism, democracy, militarism,
capitalism, masculinity, race, class, and empire. Approaching war
movies as identity-forging apparatuses and tools of social power,
Martial Culture, Silver Screen lays bare how cinematic versions of
warfare have helped define for audiences what it means to be
American.
Service-learning is an exciting pedagogy and field of study,
offering insight into how academic study and community engagement
blend to create social change. In its most traditional
conceptualization, servicelearning activities typically manifest
within communities where outside individuals address a need.
Servicelearning is purported to have a transforming effect on
individual student perspectives by providing students the
opportunity to interact with people and enter into situations that
allow students to test their predisposition towards others.
However, the literature on the impact of service-learning on
participants' acceptance of diversity and development of
open-mindedness reports mixed outcomes. The purpose of this book is
to explore cultural tensions and dynamics within the field of
service-learning. It is not meant to be an exhaustive review of the
interplay between culture and service learning, but rather a
starting point for an ongoing conversation about how this complex
topic impacts the field. In 18 chapters, educators, students, and
administrators investigate the cultural values of servicelearning
itself and the tensions created when this is at odds with the
values of others within K-12 and higher education in the United
States and abroad. Authors include community organization
representatives, researchers, directors of offices of community
engagement, university administrators, junior and senior faculty,
and former service-learning undergraduate students. Submissions
reflect a range of genres, including theoretical/conceptual pieces,
position papers, case studies, and other traditional academic
essays, challenging how students and community members are affected
by the cultural tensions within service-learning engagement.
