For me, Black Rain is just another prime example of why I consider Ridley Scott to be a mixed bag as a Director. Sure he’s definitely made some classics like Blade Runner, Alien, and Gladiator but other films that I’ve seen in Scott’s filmography (Robin Hood, Exodus, and G.I. Jane) seems like he gets so caught up into creating visual atmospheres (especially in this one) to the point of where he loses focus on maintaining a genuine plotting or narrative. Black Rain is an 80’s recycled tough cop…

Fight Club (1999) doesn’t need much of an introduction, and the first two rules state that I can’t talk about. I guess I’ll have to make an exception just this once; I just hope Tyler will be able to forgive me. The movie itself performed moderately well in its opening weekend but was ultimately a box office failure, as it only brought in about $37 million in revenue. The main character who is played by Edward Norton, a nameless narrator, is unhappy and discouraged with his mediocre life. In…

Have you ever thought how much longer you can live if you exercise? If you exercise you can live so much longer, and you feel so much better. Instead of sitting on the couch and watching tv, go outside and go for a walk or go for a run. When it is 65 degrees out and you are sitting on the couch that is a very bad thing to do. It is very bad for you. When you are just on the couch all you eat is junk food all the time. I think it's time for people to start running and not sitting.…

My measurable, specific and realistic goal for this quarter is to exercise at least 10 hours a week by weightlifting, running, and swimming for the next 10 weeks. I had a workout buddy who would work out with me during the schooldays from Monday to Thursday. Friday to Sunday I was either on my own or with my father. However, I wasn’t required to work out every day, but rather just work out for however many hours I needed to exercise that week. I started this plan since Week 1, although baseline…
