Journal 5: Villains Exposed

In the article "It Honestly Feels Like We Should Want to Want Better: "Thor: God of Thunder #6"" by shathley Q a very close look is taken on evil villains and how they came to be. It all starts out as the writer describes a scene at a younger age that sparked his beliefs and how he came to the realization that what kind of god would want to destroy something as beautiful as the earth. He then transfers over to how in stories you are either the bad guy or the good guy.

Journal 4: The Couple of Laughter is Back

Drew and Adam from movies.broadway

Hold onto the hope for those abs people because if you are anything like me, we have some laughs on our way! According to Krystle Drew’s article “Drew Berrymore and Adam Sandler to Reunite in Upcoming Film”, the two are back together for another comical romance just as hilarious as their previous flings in 50 First Dates and The Wedding Slinger. This exciting new film is still untitled, but the plot has been molded.

In this film, Drew and Adam go on a not so charming blind date, but somehow get trapped in a hotel alone with both or their sets of kids from previous spouses. I can say that I am excited for this film and will be excited for the day when I can drag my boyfriend to the theater to watch it and laugh. I encourage you all to do the same with a friend or two!!

Closure With Her Death

Molly and Dom from Wordonfire.

Inception is a maze of a movie by Christopher Nolan, but one of the most important scenes to the plot of the movie is when Dom is in a 4^th level dream with Ariadni and Molly is there keeping Mr. Fischer hostage. Dom has been struggling with the memories of his dead wife Molly throughout the entire movie and in this scene 2 hours into the plot, we finally witness him overcoming his guilt he had due to Molly’s death. The scene unfolds as Dom and Molly speak together at the table or their old home as Molly desperately tries to convince Dom to stay with her. Dom agrees to stay with Molly in order to save Mr. Fischer, Ariadni rushes to the porch where Molly revealed that Mr. Fischer was being held. However, when Dom says that he actually was going to stay because another comrade was trapped in the 4^th level dream Molly gets upset and threatens to kill him which would throw him deeper into the dream, but Ariadni shoots Molly and gives Mr. Fischer a ‘kick’ to wake him up from the dream.  She speaks briefly with Dom to coordinate plans and then follows Mr. Fischer and gives herself a ‘kick’. The closing point of this scene is most important because Dom speaks with Molly about how he feel so guilty for her death, but he comes to have closure with her death and finally can leave her behind and live in the reality of his life, and that is why this scene is so important in the movie because throughout the film, Dom is haunted by Molly and now he can finally leave her behind.

Journal 3: The Life of Five Sisters

The Five Bennett Sisters
from N.E.O.N.619 blog

Pride and Prejudice is based on the book of the same title by Jane Austin. In this story, the life of the Bennett family is revealed in the chaos of the daughters’ love lives’. Sisters, men, romance, marriage, drama, all the glorious elements in Pride and Prejudiced keep me watching the film time and time again. I am a typical girl with 4 sisters (making a total of 5 daughters, just like in the film) and long for a romantic relationship with the chivalrous man of my dreams, so I very much can relate to this film, and I believe that is one of the main reasons that I love Pride and Prejudice. The film also has a very strong sense of realism within the time frame that the film takes place of course also tying in a few historical elements.

Another reason that Pride and Prejudice is a simply phenomenal film is due to Keira Knightley as she is a wonderful actress and I love every film that I have ever seen her in. She seems to so easily be able to mentally place herself in her given role’s position. I would strongly suggest this film to anyone who has not seen it because it is all together a good film and you cannot form a true opinion on it before seeing it yourself.

Journal 2: Warm Bodies on Valentine's Day

This Valentine's Day, I was taken to a movie following a lovely dinner. Romance is usually what you think of on Valentine's Day, but zombies? Why in the world was the movie Warm Bodies appropriate on that day of the year? Well, as covered in Bill Gibron writes about in his article "Say 'Hello' to the Zom Rom Com: 'Warm Bodies'" you can read that Warm Bodies is actually one of the better romantic comedies that have come out in the recent years.

Bill Gibron really makes a point to express how much he enjoyed Warm Bodies than other movies with monsters such as Twilight. I agree with Gibron in that the film had a great mixture of action, comedy and romance to keep most viewers happy while doing a good job of keeping the twitter patted scenes down while adding in quite a bit of action.

I would really encourage everyone to view this film and let me know what your opinion was of the zombie love story in Warm Bodies and if even if you haven't seen this specific film what is your take on other films with mythological creatures falling in love with humans and vice versa? Do you think that they are being over used or can you not get enough? I look forward to hearing what you think.
