Beasts of the Southern Wild

     Beasts of the Southern Wild begins in a fictional off-the-grid community known as The Bathtub. In the community lies a young girl named Hushpuppy facing orphanage. Her mother is gone and her father, Wink, is a carefree reckless spirit who doesn't even live in the same home as Hushpuppy. Most of the time Hushpuppy is left to fend for herself. We're shown her cooking her own food and living on her own.

     There's a school (boat) where Hushpuppy is taught by Miss Bathsheba, who tells the kids, "Learn to live with one another, and adapt!"

     Soon, Wink comes down with an illness, and suddenly - in a very convenient time that coincides with the plot - reality falls apart and a massive storm brews, ice caps melt, basically 2012 all over again. Hushpuppy believes that reality falling apart and Wink becoming sick are related.

     Elsewhere, prehistoric beasts start to come out of the ice caps and begin to roam.

     More elsewhere, back at the Bathtub, instead of the community freaking out they decide to party to their deaths, woohoo! The next morning they find their community almost completely submerged.

     Wink decides to teach Hushpuppy about fending for herself, teaching her how to fish with her bare hands. Unfortunately it ends with Hushpuppy injuring her hand.

     The next morning, Wink was seen sneaking out with a giant garfish filled with explosives. In essence he was going on a kamikaze mission to blow up the leeve keeping all the water in, basically draining the Bathtub. Miss Bathsheba realizes this is a bad idea and tries to stop Wink. The results are bad - the Bathtub is dead.

     And meanwhile, the beasts thawed from ice are roaming the lands....

     Right afterwards, the Government captures the people of the Bathtub and essentially subjects them to imprisonment hospitals. They're gloomy and sad, and the government tests the people of the Bathtub and quickly find out Wink is dying. Hushpuppy finds out.

    It hits her that Wink isn't the superman dad she thought he was. He's on his deathbed, but Hushpuppy sees a light and figures she should chase it for some reason. Something about her mother or something. Suddenly a mysterious boatman picks her out of the water, they go to a nightclub, there's a woman with eyes like her's, there's a moment of love.

     Hushpuppy returns to her father, but she meets up with the beasts. They have a moment of primal understanding and they go on their way.

     Hushpuppy shares one last meal with Wink, she returns to her friends and family as a hardened warrior and they go into the Southern Wild as a pack.

     Honestly this movie didn't make much sense to me, I wasn't a fan of it at all and the story was extremely difficult to follow.

THE COREY CLUB

The "breakfast club" written and directed by John Hughes was a reality comedy movie about a group of teenagers attending Saturday school (detention). I liked this film because I feel like it introduced the many different stereotypes of kids in high school through the different students in detention. For example John bender is known in school as the "bad kid" he misbehaves in school and doesn't listen to any authority. When he opens up to the other kids in detention and tells them his story you can see and understand why John acts the way he does. Another example in the movie of this was Andrew.Eventually they wind up opening up to each other and we find out who everyone is and what kind of character they are. Later on in the film, some of their more hidden traits come out. For instance, Bender becomes softer and is a bit more friendly towards the group (as opposed to him being a complete dickhead before) Hell, Claire kisses him! Andrew winds up becoming interested in Allison after Claire gives her a makeover.

At the end of the film, the group finally does the essay and signs it as "The Breakfast Club" and leave it for Mr. Vernon to read. There were two similar but different letters in the beginning and end. It shifted from antagonizing to the letter realizing that the group is similar in their own ways.

I personally enjoyed this film, it's rather funny and I especially like Bender. I think he's my favorite character 

Beasts of the Southern Wild by Walatsebi Kofi-Mensah Lomotey

This movie was abnormal so it caught my attention. This little girl with tons of pets and stray animals surrounding her in this place of what looked like hurricane ruins. This place was called the bathtub. The mini lesson before viewing this movie was “Utopia.” The bathtub was their understanding of an Utopia. This is where people actually lived. They ate healthy and depended on what the waters brought them. This place was very makeshift and tarnished. It was weird to me because the people loved it so much. I don't see how you could love such a dump like they lived in. I have to live in the condition of public facilities, sewage, and definite places to get resources. What I learned from this movie is that not everyone has the same mind set and thinks the same. What I might think is normal others might think is crazy. The father absolutely despised the real world. I guess he just felt like the way he lived was the best way. People from outside their utopia tried to have them evacuated from their homes which caused stress and anxiety. All these people wanted was their piece of mind in their own free space. I felt bad for hush puppy because she already didn’t have her mother and her father was dying. I also felt bad because I feel like she didn't grow up in the right environment but at the same time it had its perks. I think living in the conditions she did made her strong and independent even at her young age. In all utopias there comes a point where you have to be strong. Life is not easy anywhere thats why people try to find their utopia and their nirvana.

Winter's Bone By Walatsebi Kofi-Mensah Lomotey

This movie was a waist of my time. I truly hated this movie because I just don't see the point its trying to get at. This movie is about a teenage girl who has to take care of herself and her siblings because her mother is mentally ill and her father is missing and wanted for cooking meth. This girl teaches her brother and sister all the skills and tools necessary to survive. Since Ree’s father has missed his court date, the police are threatening to take their house. Ree goes out in search of her father but there is absolutely no luck. This makes it even harder for her and her family to survive. Ree finds out that her father was killed because he was going off to tell other drug cookers. She is taken to retrieve her dad out of the pond with the people that beat her up earlier in the movie. This movie was just too confusing. I did not understand any of it. When Ree was getting beat up I had no idea why. Also, why was her father missing?

Jaws by Walatsebi Kofi-Mensah Lomotey

 The 25 foot long juggernaut that they call Jaws was the menace of the waters. The thought of him is frightening let alone the sight of him. When you see him you will be in shock; You won't be able to even move.
When the movie jus started, I hated it. But as the movie went on it got more and more interesting. The shark killing that child in the lake was a spark. After that, the mother of the child that got killed put a bounty for the sharks head. This sparked a town-wide shark hunt for all the shark hunters. One of the local shark hunters killed a big shark that people thought was jaws so they felt safe. That is until Matt Hooper, a marine biologist,  determined that it was in fact not jaws. Even though it wasn't the shark, Vaughan was did not care and refused to close the beaches. This is when the shark attacked again and Brody's kid witnessed the vicious attack. When this happened they hired the professional shark hunter Quint to hunt the shark. Hooper, Brody and Quint all go on the hunt to Jaws. The hard part wasn't finding Jaws, it was trying to contain him and catch him. This part of the movie was without a doubt the climax. I especially enjoyed the nail biting part when Hooper was brave enough to go in that cage... which was extremely stupid. When Quint died I was shocked. I really thought he was going to at least injure Jaws but he is TOO BIGG!!!!
If I didn't know there were more sequels to this movie I would be very unhappy at the ending.

Jurassic Park - Dean Artusa

Jurassic Park was always thought to be a good movie from me, its something that I watched for the first time when I was very young. And at the time it was VERY scary, but watching it now I still feel like its scary but I already know what is going to happen. My favorite scene in the movie has got to be the kitchen scene, this is because the children are very afraid but they're still very agile and outsmart the dino's by making certain noises with objects and distracting them. It's got to be the most intense scene in the movie because it was so unpredictable, its hard to know what happens next especially since we have already seen at least one character die.
This movie's budget was $63 million which is a lot of money and it did insane in the box office by getting over 1 billion dollars. Which is a surprise because I feel like something about dinosaurs would do that well! But I look back at the movie and notice that the special effects and animations are VERY good for a movie from 1993. I would definitely watch this movie again and I look forward to seeing the newer addition.

Tree of life

  so a man named Jack who didn't have the best childhood. His father, Brad Pitt, was extremely demanding and strict. He raised his son to only say yes sir. On top of that he wasn't allowed to talk unless told he was allowed to which is such a throwback, I mean I speak my mind without being asked, I'm very opinionated. Good thing that wasn't me because I would definitely not survive, he'd probably see me as a crazy rebel child or something LOL. What I rally didn't like about the movie was the fact that it was like the man is in charge and he's allowed to do whatever he wants. I mean it was real because it used to actually be like that but I still hate it. He was just violent and unpleasant to be around. Although Jack went through tough childhood he was able to humble himself and accept everything with his father by forgiving him which I have a lot of respect for him for doing. To be honest I wasn't a very big fan of this film. The beginning was alright but it just didn't peek my interest in any way. I will say that it was very artistic and tasteful but just not my cup of tea.this movie is the shit i love every suspenseful moment.
