It was actually an above par thriller/mystery film. I don’t want to give too much away but I highly encourage anyone who enjoyed Gone Girl to watch this film. The author Gillian Flynn shows her intelligence and depth with such a divergence from Gone Girl but with a great cast of shockingly believable characters and … Continue reading Dark Places 2015

Gone Girl
This film was one of the most beautiful films that I’ve ever seen. The villain is such a genius; it’s like a type of film that I’ve only dreamed of watching since most of Hollywood is utter garbage. Amy Dunne is such a brilliant character and it’s a shame how the husband ruined her. The … Continue reading Gone Girl
Lying by Sam Harris
This book is, by far, one of the silliest that I've ever read. Sam Harris makes bold claims about how lying is always morally wrong and goes so far as to argue that a college lesson by a professor influenced him into realizing that lying is always wrong. Harris actually claims that even in the … Continue reading Lying by Sam Harris

Status Anxiety by Alain de Botton
I honestly don’t know what to make of this film. It has good points but it seems to only convey the general atmosphere of self-hate for seeking our desires through looking at different societal functions. There was some very forceful juxtapositions earlier on when de Botton compared the American pastor to the English pastor; the … Continue reading Status Anxiety by Alain de Botton

I apologize for not getting into too many political topics as promised
I apologize. I read all of the articles that I put on Twitter but I can't help but feel a sense of helplessness after reading most negative news. Part of it is due to allocating time for my books but I don't feel that is really a good reason. I honestly feel very angry after … Continue reading I apologize for not getting into too many political topics as promised
Hot Girls Wanted
A documentary on the fast-growing sex industry; based on the interview that Rashida Jones had on Vice, I had thought it would give a more open-minded portrayal – it somewhat did but there was still some conservative morality throughout the film. Although, the reasoning behind why seems to be reasonable. For those who are squeamish … Continue reading Hot Girls Wanted
Grand Theft Auto IV
I've decided to skip over obvious remarks on graphics and decided not to speak of the music element either because the radio's in this game are a pretty far range in musical taste. If you don't mind repetition then this game should be very enjoyable for you. Gameplay: Repetitive, gets old pretty quick, constantly having … Continue reading Grand Theft Auto IV
