This user is interested in The Jedi Order. My ally is the Force. And a powerful ally it is.
Hello world. I am a teacher with the Toronto District School Board in Toronto, Ontario, Canada. I'm passionate about photography, travel (I've traveled to 60+ countries), philosophy and Star Wars. By day, I teach Geography and Social sciences to a bunch of amazing kids, and by night I am a budding fiction novelist. I also very much enjoy cooking, and reading (or writing) about unique foods, dishes and recipes.
I also contribute to a few Toronto-based newspapers on the topics of Education and writing, which, accidentally, brought me to Wikipedia. I am fascinated by the "academic dialogue" that happens in the community; and would love to be a part of it.

The director emphasized violence throughout the film, making it so outlandish that it became comical. RoboCop was a financial success upon its release in July 1987, earning $53.4 million. Reviewers praised it as a clever action film with deeper philosophical messages and satire, but were conflicted about the violence. The film won the Academy Award for Best Sound Editing.
