Bereavement: A Review

I have always been a fan of horror movies. Whether the movie is a psycho- thriller, or about spirits and ghouls, I will always give it a shot. Lately, however, I have not been impressed with the newest movies to join the horror genre. I found Paranormal Activity to be a complete disappointment, and movies like The Crazies to predictable. The new Nightmare on Elm St. was decent, but still not very impressive. This past weekend I decided to rent a scary movie (to watch alone because I like too, and my boyfriend is not a fan) and I was shocked at how impressed I was.

Bereavement is a movie that starts out with a mother, explaining to her child’s new caretaker, the importance of the steps she must take too properly care for her child. This young boy has an ailment that allows him too not feel pain. He could be stabbed in the leg and he would not feel, nor be fazed by it. While the mother is explaining to the caretaker, the child, who is called Martin, is abducted while out in the yard.

After the abduction, Martin is forced to stay with the man who took him for years. The man makes Martin watch as well as participate in unimaginable and horrific activities. I will not spoil anymore of this movie, but I will say the ending is anything but predictable and I hope that my readers check this one out. As far as psycho-thriller movies go, I give Bereavement an A+.

A Ramble on Guns and Mental Health

Recently I have seen more and more posts on social media websites about gun control, the lack there of, or there being too much. The recent shooting at an elementary school in Pennsylvania is an awful tragedy that has happened and many people believe that these kinds of incidents would not happen if guns were not allowed to be in the hands of citizens. I do not know exactly where I stand on the gun issue, but I do know that anyone who is inclined to murder a multitude of people has a mental issue, and I think that society needs to address these issues when related to guns and the well-being of all citizens.

The Heaviest Sword

“Belief is a beautiful armor, but makes for the heaviest sword” – John Mayer             What makes us believe in something? Why do we feel that we must believe in anything? Is there anyone out there who truly believes in nothing?  Or better yet, is there anyone in the world who truly believes in something?              Most children believe in Santa Claus.  I never did.  I pretended to for the sake of my parents, but by the time I was six years old, I told them I didn’t believe in him.  Many of my friends believed in Santa well beyond six years old and I didn’t let them know I knew the truth. I did often wonder how my friends never caught on though. Maybe they did and were just pretending, as to not ruin anyone else’s belief in the magic of good ole St. Nick.

Oh Finals.....

Finals are slowly approaching, which means I will be devoting most, if not all, of my time to my wonderful textbooks. Studying and paper writing will be consuming my next few weeks! Perhaps I will post a paper or two that I have written when all is said and done. Look forward to reading about Anxiety and Addiction, or a paper written about the effects of tobacco and alcohol advertising and whether or not I believe it should cease to exist! I will not give my opinion on that subject away yet! Until next time here's to hoping finals go smoothly!!!
