This movie was all over the place, so I could not find a one scene that

represented it better than any other

Personally, I didn't dislike the film but I didn't really like it either. I felt like the movie was mostly just me sitting there. I went with my family, and I'm the youngest. I heard a lot of comments that they liked it because it was realistically violent and looked truly 1970s. However the movie took a long to get to the conclusion, which was pretty good. I would recommend the movie to someone who is really into the 70s, but no one else. There is a lot of boring grown up drama and long character development. 

This clip is some of the rare violence

the Adventures of Tintin

    Tintin, a young journalist, and his dog Snowy are browsing in an outdoor market. Tintin buys a small model of a ship, the Unicorn, Barnaby and Ivan Ivanovitch Sakharine both unsuccessfully try to buy the model from Tintin. Tintin takes the ship home, but it is accidentally broken,a scroll slips out of the model and rolling under a cabinet. Meanwhile, detectives Thomson and Thompson are looking for a pickpocket, Aristides Silk. Tintin finds that the Unicorn has been stolen. He then visits Sakharine in Marlinspike Hall and accuses him of the stealing it when he sees a model of the Unicorn, but when he realizes that Sakharine's model is not broken, he understands that there are two models. Once Tintin returns home, Snowy shows him the scroll, Tintin puts the scroll in his wallet that is stolen by Silk.

Later, Tintin's kidnapped by Sakharine's goons and locked on the SS Karaboudjan. He discovers that Sakharine has a deal with the ship's crew and rebelled against the captain.

It transpires that there were three Unicorn models, each containing a scroll; together, the scrolls can  locate of the sunken Unicorn and its treasure.

GRAVITY

  Gravity is about a woman who is lost in space. Her name is Dr Ryan Stone. She is a Mission Specialist on her first space shuttle mission aboard the Space Shuttle Explorer. She is accompanied by veteran astronaut Matt Kowalski, who is commanding his final expedition. While he was floating in space to service the Hubble Space Telescope, Ground Control in Houston warns the team about a Russian missile strike on a defunct satellite, which has caused a chain reaction forming a cloud of space debris. Ground control orders that the mission be aborted. Shortly after, communications with ground Control are lost, though the astronauts continue to transmit, hoping that the ground crew can still hear them. They try to make it to the international space station to get in an escape pod and return to earth. Kowalaski  cuts himself loose to try and save Ryan.  However, Ryan has never flown a escape pod and is not really an astronaut.  Matt leaves the action about halfway through the film (which sucks because he was my favorite) and Ryan is stuck in space not knowing how to do much, she has to figure it out with no room for error

i had trouble finding much more then these two scenes

 I'm not going to ruin the ending just in case you decide to see this movie.

SUTTER ISLAND

In 1954, two U.S. Marshals, Edward "Teddy" Daniels and his new partner, Chuck Aule, travel to the Ashecliffe Hospital for the criminally insane on Shutter Island located in Boston Harbor, as part of an investigation into the disappearance of patient Rachel Solando, incarcerated for drowning her three children. Shortly after arrival, a storm prevents their return to the mainland for several days. Daniels finds the staff confrontational: the lead psychiatrist, Dr. John Cawley, refuses to hand over records of the hospital staff; Solando's doctor, Dr. Sheehan, had left on vacation after her disappearance, and they are barred from searching Ward C and told that the lighthouse on the island has already been searched. Th main character Teddy begins to get migraines and reoccurring dreams of his dead wife. By the way the ending is really disappointing but I'll get to that in a minute.

  

this is the trailer because i think that it summarized the film well

this is the ending that i did not like

the ending was disappointing at best the movies plot is great but the execution of the film by the director and the actors was terrible its was supposed to surprise me but it was obvious that's where they were going by the way the ending is that he is a patient at the mental hospital 

King Lear at the Shakespeare Festival in Ashland Oregon 2013

     King Lear is about three sinister sisters that inherit their fathers kingdom. One doesn't get any land and instead marries the king of France. She  still feels cheated by her father, so she leads the French army to take over England. The two sinister sisters don't want to deal with their father or the small army their father brought with him, so they flee to the Duke's house and hide there. My favorite part is the second act because some shit goes down when they jab out the Duke's eyes out and then they make him just straight leave. But he can't see so he is just wandering around blind because he knew that the French were coming, but he did not tell anybody- I wasn't 100% clear on why.

   sadly I could not find a video but I was able to find a couple of photos from this year's production 

       

this photo is from the first part but you already know that

        Over all I liked King Lear, but it did go on for a while, so that was not great. Besides that, it was generally great.

"Prisoners" (rated R) 

 "Prisoners" is a film about two children who get kidnaped. The father of one child is looking for the man responsible for the kidnaping. When the police catch one man that they think is responsible, but can't prove anything, they let him go. The father is furious about the release of the suspect and takes it upon himself to prove this man guilty. The father kidnaps the supposed  kidnapper and begins to torture him. The police say that the suspect has the IQ of a 10 year old and doesn't know anything, but the father doesn't believe them and goes as far as necessary including waterboarding and locking the man in a small room with know light and barely enough room to sit. 

here is a clip

  How it ends is the man with an IQ of a ten year olds aunt who he lives with is the kidnapper and he was kidnapped and drugged. When the aunt kidnaps children she makes them do a series of mazes, and if the complete them the get to go free. But the catch is that the last one is impossible.

  

Brooklyn 99

brooklyn 99 is a new tv show staring Andy Samberg as Detective Jake Peralta and Stephanie Beatriz as his partner Detective Rosa Diaz. Terry Crews is Sergeant Terry Jeffords. I like Terry Crews and in this role he is funny because he's not a tough guy. His character used to be really fat and was called Terry Titties, now even his wife is embarrassed of his minivan, which gets a dick painted in episode 2. 

There are not a lot of choices on YouTube yet, because this show is so new. The clip to see is Detective Jake chasing a Russian ham stealer through a deli.

The reason this show is funny is because it's both hilarious and clever, and it's a detective show, sort of. The stern gay captain wants Jake to take his job more seriously, but that's not gonna happen since there's not a lot of laughs there. 

Prediction: They're gonna have an episode where Jake takes his job as seriously as the captain wants, but then he won't do as well, so the captain will accept his hi-jinx. Stay tuned.
