I am doing my hip-hop cultural paper on Hustle and Flow written by Craig Brewer. First and for most I had to look at the DVD cover to find the director’s name. The process in which I found information on Craig Brewer, basically I used Google. Yes I am addicted to Google and that is the only search engine I use, until I find a better one. I click on the first couple of links that shows up; they are usually the best ones to use.
The first website I went on is http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0108132/ (The Internet Movie Database). The Internet Movie Database is a website created just for movies and gives information on the cast, director, summery of the movie, and various movies that the director has produce, written, and directed. Plus the website includes photos of the movie, cast, director, and other celebrates.
The second website I went on is http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Craig_Brewer. I must say wikipedia is my favorite website to go on in order to find information on just about anything. You can say I am a wikipedia addict, as well as Google addict. What I like about wikipedia is that the website cites all of the sources that the writer of the article uses and provides links to them.
The third website I went on is http://movies.aol.com/celebrity/craig-brewer/299159/biography, which gives a brief history of Brewer.
The advantage of looking at the sources that I did is that I know the information is valid because all three sources stated the same thing. The first two websites gives information on Brewer’s professional life, but the third websites gives a brief biography about his life as a whole. The first two sources cite their information and provide links to the actual articles or quotes made by the person the researcher is researching on.
