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.

Shabanu Anticipation Guide

• 1. It is possible to experience love at first sight.
I disagree with this statement 100%, even most of the population in the world actually experiences love at first sight,, but I personally think it is pathetic, how can someone look at an other human being and in that instant you fall in love and get married. You don’t get a chance to get to know the person well enough for example their hobbies intrests and many more things.

• 2. Two complete strangers stuck on a deserted island could learn to love one another.
I agree with this statement because gradually they both learn to depend on one an other and more than that they both learn to share. I think though it’s also how they are the only human beings on that island, and both individuals know that they wont be rescued for a while so they do end up in love

• 3. It is a good thing to sacrifice your happiness for the desire of others.
I disagree with this statement because what is the point of life without maybe happiness or laughter, it’s the thing that let’s you enjoy life. Also to do something to make others happy doesn’t mean that you won’t be happy with that decision, but you could end up doing harm to yourself by sacrificing your happiness' for others.


• 4.Women in your society are free citizens.
I agree and disagree with this statement, I agree with this because I've seen many couples that get in too many arguments but they still have this click, like a connection that makes them be together even more. I disagree with this statement because many Cypriot men treat their wives like they are nothing and I don’t know the reason but they don’t answer back or divorce them.

The Outsiders

For once in my life I actually enjoyed the book comparison to the movie, when I first watched the movie just when we started to read the book, I found it to be quite good, it was a bit long but I enjoyed it. After a few days when we got deeper into the story I was changing perspectives, whilst reading it, it was like reading a completely different book comparison to the movie. The book revealed lots more than the movie, I could understand the characters so much more,and I also favored the book more because it was first-person view, so it was easier to understand, its like S.E Hinton was bringing these characters to life. I enjoyed the book much more than the film for many reasons, but one thing that does make me quite furious in all scenarios is when the author describes and makes up a character, and then the director of the film makes him/her completely the opposite, for example:
The character Johnny in the Outsiders book was very interesting, S.E Hinton characterized him as a normal teenager, that likes to hang out more with his pals (the gang) than his parents, he could be very courageous and brave most of the times and he shows it very well, for instance when Johnny was with Ponyboy at the park just walking around the block and the Socs came he acted so tough by taking a cigarette out of his pocket, and pulling his sleeves up. In the film its like his a different character. One other thing that really annoyed me was Sodapop’s part in the film, by that I mean, he was so important to Ponyboy, and obviously Ponyboy was the protagonist, so he Should have played a very big and important role in the movie, but he doesn’t, he briefly plays a role in the movie. There were many small and big things that disappointed me, but mostly it was the movie.

The director for this movie is called James Wan, he is the same director for the movies called SAW. There are many film genres for this film but the 3 main ones that best describe this film are Horror, Thriller and mystery, it was released in the United states on the 16th of March 2007. This movie is about a creator of dolls and ventriloquist dummies called Mary Shaw a scary old lady, they are alive and have human life form. It all starts when Jamie gets married to his wife called Ella, and everything is going perfectly fine, until one stormy, cold, windy night, there were two very loud knocks at their door. They both asked who could that be, opening the door slowly and peeking their heads out they realized that it was just a big black box, but no sign of anybody. They brought it in, put it on the table and looked at the note that came with the box but it only had an address on it, it was where Jamie used to live as a young boy. They opened the box and were stunned to find that it was a ventriloquist dummie, they both laughed, took it as a joke and put it on a chair near by. After a while Jamie decides to have a shower, whilst Ella is cooking dinner, during the long time period he was in the shower a loud scream is heard and a heavy thud to the floor. He rushes out hurridly and runs towards the bedroom, whilst rushing he slipped and knocked his head on the floor, but what he didn’t know was that he slipped in a puddle of Ellas' blood, quickly getting up and avoiding the pain he looks up to the bed and realises his wife is dead. After dealing with the police trying to convince them that he didn’t kill her, he decides to go back to where he used to live and find out where the ventriloquist dummie came from.

This movie was not only very creative but also smartly written, the characters are perfect for this specific film. This movie is a big mystery and keeps you guessing until the very end. This film gives viewers a very strong introduction on what the film is basically about and is full of suspense, it is so powerful that if you wanted to go to the bathroom you wouldn’t be able because it is so intresting and intriguing. The music for this film is ideal it is all original and customized. I really think this movie is great and I would definately recommend it, even if he/she doesn’t enjoy or like scary movies, you will definately become engrossed within the first 5 minutes of the film.

N.B. This movie cannot be watched without… having a pillow to cover the eyes during the really scary moments, and gaurantees not only suspense but a movie that is gripping and full of unexpected scenes.
