Twister

The movie Twister was created in 1996, it was directed by Jan De Bont and it was written by Ann Marie Martin and Michael Critchton. Bill Harding a retired meteorologist and his wife Melissa were arranging a marriage, but were not aloud to do so until Jo (Bill Harding’s X-Wife) signed divorce papers. When meeting up at a near by base camp, Jo had her pen on the paper and was ready to sign the divorce papers but tornados change both Bill and Jo’s plans. Bill missing chasing tornados decided to go along with the ride, as the story goes on Bill gets closer and closer to Jo, and when Melissa actually discovers this she broke up with Bill but they both were not upset about it. There only desire was to use the machine on the tornados to find out more about them, but this is not revealed until the near end, but many complications interfere, they are challenged by an other group which stole their idea about their machine invention, they are also complicated with Jo’s fear of F5’s (One of these killed her father at a young age), and them not being able to get close enough to engage their invention with the tornados. When I watch movies I try to look at it from both perspective's, even though it was an old film, and has no comparison to movies now, I didn’t enjoy it very much, I think that the director had a good story plot and was confident about making the film, but he should have thought out of the box and come up with something no one has ever seen in movies, because that’s what movies are for, (To watch something very different to others) and he could have elaborated more on the story. The movie was also far fetched about many scenes, for example standing or driving a few meters just next to a tornado, would have definitely killed you, also many other scenes, could have needed more improvement, I think the director tried his best but I don’t think he thought about how realistic it was, by this I mean he didn’t compare it to real life events beside the actual machine used to find more information on tornados. Beside the negative things about it I believe the director was like an American in the Second World War, he put as much money as he could, to make it look brilliant, also for the computer graphics on the tornados. I also believe the director was trying to prove a very strong point, and I think the message was to ware more awareness about nature, because it is always unpredictable, and also however hard life gets or your sitting their in the dirt there is always something you can do about it. If your wondering my name is DR. Phil Apeno, and no I am not from the Philippines, I have just started my studies at a University called Onepal in Canada, and I'm looking for a partner to chase down my dream, beside that I would also like to have my own station on T.V. I have been recently working on a new invention that informs me when there will be a tornado a day before it actually happens. If anyone is interested please contact me on www. Turnado.com.

Honor killings

Honor killings are very disturbing and sometimes just unacceptable cases, but in some countries there is no law. Honor killings are any type of murders, with very assaulting violence of a family member or even a friend, that has shown you a sign of dishonor. This occurs in many countries along with continents, most of the reported cases are in Europe, the Middle East, North America, and South Asia. The most eyewitness cases are, choosing to wear different clothes, engaging sexual acts, arguing and seeking a divorce. A civilian can murder someone without knowing any of the facts, or having any type of evidence. The estimated amount of people that die a year are over 5,000, and most of them could have been avoided by knowing and understanding all of the details and information. Honor suicides is a recent reported case that journalists and reporters have just found out, it has mainly occurred in Turkey up to now. Honor suicides are even more dramatic and disturbing than honor killings, it is a case where a man or woman pressures or forces someone else to commit suicide. This may be done so the victim can avoid penalties for murder, or escape some sort of shame, but no one knows. Over 80 Iraqi woman in Diyala were convinced and forced into honor suicides. As crazy or surprising this must be Europe has many reported cases of honor killings. In 2005 six Muslim women that immigrated to Berlin, were brutally murdered by family members and friends, one of the 6 Muslim woman was murdered by her brother for not staying with her husband that was forced into marriage. In the United Kingdom over a dozen people including men and women were killed by honor by family members and friends. South Asia is one of the worst reported continents for honor killings, UNICEF and many journalists have reported that in India, less than a year there were more than 5,000 reported cases for honor killings, most of these killings are 99.9% pointless. In South Asia honor killings are also referred as Karo Kari, (Pakistan, refers honor killings as Karo Kari) many attempts have been made into punishing the victims more strictly depending on each case. One reported case that is just terrifying, is when a 57 year old father-in-law murdered an 8 month old baby that was accused for carrying a child. An other case in South Asia was quite recently, 3, 17 year olds were buried alive and brutally injured because they refused an arranged marriage. Honor killings is not a law, and is legal in some countries but I don’t think this should be, it is 100% unreasonable and unnecessary. There is already enough killings, and murders in the world for pointless reasons. Someone that is currently in power should do something about this, because cases that have been reported in some newspapers are just repulsive, even some tourists or people that have come on holiday can be involved in this, and if nothing does happen this could be a big issue in the future.
