A Warm Review-
WARM BODIES
Enjoyable popcorn type film. Predictable but done nicely. The dark cinematography and slow feel at the movie got a bit tiresome but the ending made up for it.
Trayvon Zimmerman- Page 43
What would have occurred if George Zimmerman didn’t have a gun that night? Would George Zimmerman suffered severe trauma and/or death or would Trayvon be the one with severe injuries Would the news have covered this as a racial incident? Would the news even cover such an incident? Finally would there even be a trial of Trayvon or George Zimmerman and would anyone express outrage over the result?
Protecting our 4th Ammendment Rights- Against unreasonable searches and seizures
In the aim of security it appears as if government is trampling on our 4th Ammendment right against unreasonable searches and seizures. This Ammendment is one of the keys that keep us a free people. We have seen throughout history that many totalitarean regimes use security as an excuse to limit freedom. Yet we must realize the enemy we face today does not fight along normal military conduct but seeps through the very foundation of our freedoms. This is why we must insure that the government has the right to protect us without protecting it’s control. Here are a few ways we can keep control.
(1) Government can’t hold records on any American Citizen without approval by the judicial branch or by that individual. The judicial branch could only approve such records if there was clear and sufficient evidence that this individual poses a threat to himself or others around him.
(2) Government must get judicial approval every 6 months to continue to keep the records on such individuals and that this approval must be based on the continual threat that these individuals pose to themselves or others. Annually the government must reach out to a different judicial authorities to continue to keep such records on private citizens.
(3) Government is not permitted to data search records on American Citizens that have not shown any proclivity to acts of violence against themselves or others.
It’s time for a new formula, creativity.
Hollywood needs new blood to survive
It’s time that Hollywood stops looking at the same crowd to produce their film. People want movies that don’t fit the same formula. They want voices that look and sound like them not the “Hollywood Party Crowd”. If not this (link above) will continue to hurt the bottom line.
The Conjuring- Had me thinking it’s not great but it’s bad?
Great cinematography, set design and special effects. A few scary scenes but many slow parts. Light in Character development and storyline. You can add a 1/2 star more if your into 70’s type horror films, if you like horror movies without the gore, or like horror movies based on “true stories ” ** 1/2
