Cloud Atlas Review

Introduction: You may have heard of Cloud Atlas. It's that trailer with a small cast of great actors filling several roles in 6 stories spanning centuries of human history. You may have definitely asked yourself "What the hell does Cloud Atlas mean?" Well instead of doing nothing like you did I went to Wikipedia, the most reliable source on the internet, and according to the writer Cloud is supposed to represent something changing and ever shifting while Atlas is supposed to represent something constant and eternal. It's about changing the natural order of the world. It's about challenging parts of life that bind us and breaking free of them like slavery, persecution, prosecution, lies, and even institutions. Welcome to the cloud.

Paranormal Activity 4 Review

Introduction: I liked the first Paranormal Activity. It built upon "that fear." You know, that fear we all have when we're alone inside a moderately sized home at night and we hear weird noises and instead of thinking "Sh*t, man, that's just rats and sh*t" we instead think "Sh*t, man! That's ghosts and sh*t!" It feeds on our primitive and superstitious fears that are really just caused by piping. Seriously, ghosts are pipes. But as the series continued with sequel upon sequel the novelty wore off and we realized that our actual piping is more frightening. Omg! It's clogged with hair!
