Obesity in the United States Epidemic one reason for spiraling health care costs
Obesity is a huge problem in the United States, according to health officials who say it is the culprit behind increased rates of a host of chronic illnesses, including type-2 diabetes, heart disease and cancer.
The Shape of Water
All of Guillermo Del Toro’s movies (i.e. Pan’s Labyrinth, Hellboy), are lush, intensely sensual imaginings filled with scenes of dreamlike wonder. In The Shape of Water, sexuality finally takes center stage, and since Del Toro is the writer/director, the sexuality is like nothing ever seen before. The sexy female is an unlikely candidate named Elisa Espisito (Sally Hawkins), a mute, mousey, and orphaned Baltimore cleaning lady who mops up blood in a top-secret laboratory. The sexy male is even more unlikely. He is “The Asset” (Doug Jones), an amphibious Creature From the Black Lagoon-stye humanoid stolen by the American military as “research” from the Amazon River.
