Movie Reviews

Midnight Sun Film Review The Hollywood Reporter Frank Scheck  I give it an 8 because it was really detailed and he got all the information about it , but it also seems that he might have exposed the ending which isn't the best. High points, Shepard is tartly amusing as the best friend, Thorne thankfully doesn't over-milk her character's pathos, and Schwarzenegger, although a bit stiff at times, hits the right emotional notes,  Low Points, None of the film rings remotely true, especially the cornball conclusion, If she developed the horrible skin lesions more common to victims, this would be a very different movie, "Like a Taylor Swift song, Midnight Sun is emotionally manipulative and not nearly as profound as it thinks it is. But you'd have to be made of stone to entirely resist it." ‘Pitch Perfect 3’ Keeps the Songs but Loses the Plot New York Times Teo Bugbee I give him a 6 because he really only focused on the plot and not much about the othe...

No one really in their daily life has the need for an automatic weapon so why even give access to the people. To defend yourself you only really need something such as a pistol to kill or injure someone just like the police carry. Even with those types I think extensive background searches and lesson should be taken. Not only do people die from shooting but some people die from not knowing how to handle a gun properly. I think the response would be very uniting to the residents and bring more people together to help the cause instead of ignore it. I think it would be such a sad and horrible  thing to consider,...
