Braveheart (1995) - Review

Even though this movie is not perfect, it's still a pretty entertaining war thriller which keeps the viewer interested despite the fact that it's almost 3 hours long.

After William Wallace's lover is killed, he decides to start an uprising against the cruel English ruler Edward the Longshanks in hopes of inheriting the crown of Scotland for himself.

This movie does have many memorable scenes. The 2 battle sequences in the movie are memorable and the ending is also very memorable. This move is very quotable also. It clearly has a few iconic quotes. Examples of the iconic quotes are "They may take away our land, but they'll never take away out freedom!" and when Mel Gibson yells "Freedom!"

The acting is okay. It isn't the best performance by Mel Gibson but it's also not bad. There are a few cringeworthy moments but not too many. All of the other supporting actors just gave decent performances. They weren't bad but they also weren't very impressive.

This movie is clearly violent but sometimes its violence can be distracting because the movie gets a little carried away with its style. Some scenes include a man getting thrown off a platform and getting impaled on a wooden pike and a man getting shot by an arrow in his butt. Those scenes are several others can take the viewer out of certain battle sequences because they are kind of ridiculous.

Also, the movie does have its historical inaccuracies. The inaccuracies mainly revolve around the princess of Wales. Granted, the movie would be a little more boring if it didn't include these inaccuracies but the movie still should've tried to find a way around them. I'm sure that it could've been done.

But despite what I said, I do feel that this is a pretty entertaining war film. However, I don't think that this is one of the best war films out there and I feel that there are much better ones. I also think that Mel Gibson has made better movies.

Final Verdict: 7/10 Great
Aliens (1986) Review

It was hard to beat "Alien". It was an outstanding movie and I didn't expect this to be as good or better than it. It wasn't better, but it was still amazing. The movie has a huge buildup. It introduces the characters and the setting. When the team makes it into the shuttle, it is highly tense knowing that any one of them could be killed any second. The movie does a great job setting it up by making a dark and atmospheric environment. When they arrive at the planet, they encounter a little girl who's the only survivor and they rescue her. When the aliens show up, they kill several of the crew members and leave them stranded there. The second half of the film is an intense ride of action and death. Several of the characters in the movie have interesting personalities. The fight scenes are very tense and well done. Many other military movies use this movie as a guide to learn off of. I didn't feel the same amount of tension as I did with the first one, but it was still very good. The sequels that follow just try to cash in on the name and rarely bring anything new to the series. However, this sequel is, in my opinion, one of the best movie sequels out there.

Final Verdict: 9/10 Amazing
Russian Ark (2002) Review

This is slow moving but I really like it. It's about a ghostly narrator traveling through the Hermitage. 3 centuries of Russian history are all fit into a single uninterrupted take. It's very impressive that they were able to do it and it makes this film very ambitious. The reenactments of historical events are entertaining and surprisingly engaging. The Hermitage is known for its well done architecture and the movie helped bring its great architecture to the screen. It is gorgeous to look at and it displays several shots real well making them highly memorable. If you don't like slow paced movies then this is not for you but if you like slow movies then you'll most likely enjoy it. Little if not any action happens in this movie yet I enjoyed every bit of it. The ending is quite poignant and it is very thought provoking and a lot of thought went into it. The movie gives you ideas and concepts to think about long after viewing it and its final shot will be lingering in your head. This is a memorable movie that must be watched by all people who like the Art House genre.

Jaws (1975) Review

Many if not all shark movies are garbage. But Jaws is the movie which does the shark formula right. After a girl gets dragged under water, pieces of her wash up and people start investigating what happened only to find out that a man eating shark is in the water. This movie has so many memorable scenes and every time someone goes to a beach, people always do the music to annoy you. Jaws is a truly brilliant film which is often called one of the greatest American films ever made. AFI put it at number 56 in their list of the 100 greatest movies. This is a truly brilliant film and it's considered the first true summer blockbuster. Many of its scenes are highly iconic and some scenes left a permanent mark in movie history as we know it. The 3 characters who went to kill the shark all had terrific performances. This is one of those films that about every kid knows about. This movie is so quotable and I could recite many famous quotes from the movie. This movie made everyone fear the water and it will likely be watched for many generations.

Final Verdict: 10/10 Masterpiece
City of God (2002) Review

City of God is a very violent, moving, and heartbreaking movie about gangs in the slums of Rio De Janeiro.

This movie details how crime affects the people who live in the slums of Rio De Janeiro. Rocket has witnessed violence by both gangs and he wants out of it but he finds that he can't escape.

This movie does a great job with making itself look violent. I think that the main reason why this movie is so hard to watch is because most of the violence is happening to kids. It can be hard to watch so many kids brutally die off so young in their lives. Slumdog Millionaire did this too but I think that this movie did it better because it displayed violence more brutally with greater buildup involved.

The different backstories are all entertaining. They are violent, well-written, heartbreaking, and even a bit funny every now and then. They show us how all the tales are all connected to each other. This movie is non-linear because of that.

Nowadays, it's hard to find a good child actor but many of the actors in this movie carried the movie with expertise. Most of them were unknown too which made their acting performances even more unexpectedly good.

This movie gives nods to Quentin Tarantino by featuring techniques such as time-jumping, freeze-framing, and texts. It drew inspiration from Pulp Fiction and Goodfellas but this is original in its own way. It has its own techniques which it featured throughout the film.

In conclusion, this is a very well-done film. It's violent and it also has great characters and backstories. This isn't for people who are sensitive but it will appeal to you if you like violence in movies.

Platoon (1986) Review

Platoon is often cited as one of the most realistic war films ever made. It's about the true experiences Oliver Stone had in the Vietnam war. It shows war on different levels including men from the same side turning on each other. It has a lot of power because of this and it gives it an emotional aspect. This movie has a lot of heavy material and is sometimes hard to watch at times. The violent battles show the soldiers getting transformed into killing machines after many frightening experiences and close calls they have. The movie both looks and sounds amazing. I really like the film's score. When it's played, it really helps us get immersed in the scenes due to the notes and beats in it. Sure, some of their choices of actors are a bit questionable like putting Charlie Sheen in an emotional role but I didn't seem to mind it that much because they played the roles with such great emotion and power that it didn't seem to bother me. This is a great war film and it will be remembered throughout the ages. It's unforgettable, violent, sad, and moving.

Четыре объяснения, почему в Финляндии нет и никогда не будет массовой коррупции

1)У финнов нет тяги к роскоши. Роскошь — это средневековое восточное развлечение для дегенератов. Какать в золотой унитаз может только дегенерат. 2)Финны знают, что обогащение своей семьи за счет других представителей своего народа — это ненависть к своему народу. Так поступают только выродки. 3)Финны ясно понимают, что так называемый "распил" бюджетных (то есть народных) средств — это ненависть к своем детям и внукам, так как им ездить по этим дорогам и учиться в этих школах. Ненавидеть своих детей и внуков может только урод. 4)Финны уверены, что вор — всегда трус. Он живет в страхе разоблачения и справедливого возмездия. Такой человек не может быть свободным. Такой человек изгой от народа.

The Hurt Locker (2008) - Review

This isn't on the same level as Black Hawk Down is but the Hurt Locker is still another thrilling, well-acted, and fairly original movie about the Iraq War which is definitely worth a watch.

This movie follows 3 soldiers in the Iraq War. They are trained to disarm bombs and they face the threat of death every day as anyone could try to kill them as seen in the beginning of the movie.

In most war films, armies face each other directly and battle. In this movie though, the enemy hides in plain sight and the soldiers have no way of knowing who can be trying to kill them. Often when they disarm bombs, several possibly dangerous people watch them and any one of them could try to kill them as is shown in the intro. This of course creates conflict between the troops and this movie explains some of the conflict that arises between them.

The scenes where they disarm bombs are very tense because the viewer knows that the bombs could go off at any second. This is made clear from the memorable opening scene. The movie also brings in factors which helps to raise tension even more. It shows several possibly dangerous onlookers, a man driving a taxi within the bomb site, and a man holding a remote which may possibly set off the bombs. The shootout scene near the middle isn't that impressive compared to other scenes in the movie In terms of originality and suspense but it doesn't take up too much time to begin with.

The acting is pretty good. Jeremy Renner, Anthony Mackie, and Brian Geraghty were the main actors and they carried the movie well. They don't have too much of a variety in terms of their facial expressions and emotions but they still do their best in the movie and they show that they are talented actors.

A common problem found in many war films is the lack of character development. Like many other movies of the genre, this movie also suffers from that problem. The movie doesn't give us something big which makes us care for any of the characters. This is a common problem which arises in many war films nowadays and I hope that it will be fixed sometime in the future.

Despite the lack of character development, this is still a great war film which contains some pretty memorable and original scenes which hold a lot of tension often. It is definitely worth a watch and it is one of the better war films in recent memory.

Final Verdict: 9/10 Amazing
Come and See (1985) Review

Come and See is clearly the most powerful and violent anti-war film ever made.

After a boy finds an old rifle, he decides to enter WW2. However, he finds that it is much more horrifying than he imagined and he experiences the horrors of it.

What really makes this film so violent is that a mostly young cast is experiencing and acting in this. This movie has some of the most powerful massacre sequences ever put on screen. Rape is often described as forcing someone to have sex in cinema. But this movie doesn’t need to be
graphic in order to be powerful. In this movie, it is seen as hate-fueled violence being committed against other people. Unlike other movies, you cannot imagine the women in Come and See ever healing from their scars.

This movie’s ending is up for interpretation. It can be interpreted many ways. Viewed certain ways, it can be seen as one of the most powerful scenes in all of cinema history. It’s great how it’s open up for interpretation but I honestly wish that it made it more clear what its ending meant. Its ending was too thin. Movies don’t need to make everything 100% clear but they should at least give clues so it doesn’t leave the audience scratching their heads.

Going off topic for a bit, whoever thinks that this movie contains propaganda are clearly prejudiced against this movie simply because it was produced in the Soviet Union. Those people are the same ones who wouldn’t raise a single finger if this was produced in their country. If you still think that this film is propaganda then you need to watch it with a far more critical eye. Propaganda films should make war look like fun. They should make people want to join the war. They should glorify the acts of killing and ridicule of the enemy. Kubrick even made a parody of this in 1987’s Full Metal Jacket. There was probably much more propaganda in 10 minutes of Saving Private Ryan then there was in this entire movie which is nearly 2 ½ hours long. Come and See makes your stomach turn every second. It makes you feel disgusted just at the thought of war. It is by far the most effective anti-war film ever made.

So in conclusion, this movie is the most effective anti-war film of all time. Its ending is a bit too thin for my taste but everything else in the movie is masterly done. It displays some of the most powerful massacre scenes in cinema and it handles violence expertly.

Final Verdict: 9/10 Amazing
Leonardo DiCaprio has finally won an Oscar for Best Actor. My Reaction:

Firstly, let me just say that I really love Leonardo DiCaprio. I've waited a long time to see him get an Oscar, and I think that he should've won several Oscars in the past. However, I don't think that he should've won an Oscar for this film. People should win Oscars because they deserve them. Not just because we love them and think that their Oscar is well-overdue. This internet craze of people who use to complain every time he didn't win an Oscar gets tiring after a while. For the majority of this movie, the main emotion Leo was showing was anguish, and he was also grunting through most of the movie. That's not to say that he did a bad job at doing this. I thought that he did a great job at this. However, at the end of the day, anguish was being used for the majority of his screen time, and it is also a very relatable emotion. I'd rather just give the Oscar to someone else, and wait and see what Leo does next time.

When I originally watched this movie, I said that he should win an Oscar, and I was sort of jumping on the "give Leo an Oscar" bandwagon. However, after looking at other opinions, several other people sort of opened my eyes up a bit more and allowed me to see this at a different perspective that I wasn't looking in before. I still think that this movie is a 9/10, but I might factor this thought into my original review sometime in the future.

Now, before I end this post, let me just crack a quick joke so we can all go out on a high note.

Last Year

Some Guy: The Oscars are so shit because they keep on snubbing Leonardo DiCaprio from getting Oscars. They suck for not sharing my opinion!

Today

The Same Guy: I love the Oscars since they are conforming to my expectations!
Rosemary's Baby (1968) Review

Once Rosemary's Baby takes off, it becomes a brilliant psychological and claustrophobic horror film.

After a woman gets pregnant, she becomes increasingly suspicious as a result of bizarre coincidences and occurrences. She then starts to expect the worst and slowly starts to dip into insanity.

The film's construction is amazing. Things start off slow and then slowly build up. Things gradually pick up speed to make us more nervous. The events start off a bit slow at first but once the movie picks up, it keeps us on the edge of our seats and we're left on our seats dying to find out what happens next.

This is definitely one of the more atmospheric, subtle, and creepy horror films out there. It's really rare that you find a film like this anymore. Most horror films are "in your face" nowadays but this one sneaks up on you and messes with your head throughout it.

The score is amazing. The soft motherly voice and the shill instruments get under our skin and it sets up what kind of movie this is. Mia Farrow gave an outstanding performance. She did a great job setting scenes with her facial expressions. The other supporting actors and actresses were great but Mia did the best job.

To be honest though, I saw the ending coming from a mile away. I'm not going to say what it is but it was very predictable. I would've been surprised if my prediction about what I think would happen wasn't correct. During the film, I thought "I don't think they're going to do this. It would be way too predictable".

The ending needed work. It wasn't completely terrible but it wasn't all that surprising like I hoped it to be. Despite that, the movie is still a phenomenal work of horror. It's claustrophobic and it has a great pacing. It's guaranteed to get under your skin.

Final Verdict: 9/10 Amazing
Rubber (2010) - Review

This movie provides original comedy at first but the move overstays its welcome as its premise gets repetitive.

An inanimate tire comes to life and it discovers that it has telepathic powers which it can use to make things explode. It then starts killing animals and people as it makes it to a motel.

Firstly, I do get its comedy. Near the beginning, I thought it was quite funny. It contains an original and unique take on humor. It provided some funny scenes and I laughed along with it a lot. It's also great that it stays committed to its ridiculous premise. I also thought that the idea of the spectators was pretty creative.

As I said, it does contain original and unique comedy. However, the movie gets carried away with itself because its comedy overstays its welcome. 85 minutes proves to be a far too long running time because the movie's plot grows repetitive and thin rather quickly.

Also, the movie has a very slow pace. It takes a while for it to get to its climax and some viewers may become bored or uninterested because of it. In my opinion, this should've just been a 45 minute short film. It would be so much better if they removed several scenes from its middle because I think that is the weakest and least funniest part of the film.

Nowadays, most modern horror movies have weak acting and Rubber is no exception here. The acting is really uninteresting. None of the actors really impressed me that much. However, there was only 1 character who I felt was memorable and I actually really liked him. But it upset me greatly when he was killed off. I know that it's not a bad thing for a movie to kill off a memorable character you like but that's only if the movie handles it well. His death felt so forced, unneeded, and random.

In conclusion, I didn't really care for this film too much. It does contain original comedy near the beginning and it does do a few things right. However, the movie gets dull very quickly and it just isn't my type of movie. I still think that it's a good recommendation though. Just don't expect anything decade-defining to come out of it.

Final Verdict: 4/10 Bad
Saw (2004) Review

The sequels weren't that good but in my opinion, this is one of the better horror movies of the 2000's. As the film continues on, it gets more tense and the different traps make more tension. As soon as it starts, Adam and Dr. Lawrence start recalling incidents so they can figure out what happened to them and who put them there. It's a great look into human survival and it covers the depths of insanity as they start to turn on each other. I know it's excessively gory at some parts so this is not for everyone but most horror fans would probably like it. Also, at the final 5 minutes, its twist ending will knock you cold. Accompanied, by the epic score, your heart will be racing beyond belief. I'm not going to spoil the ending because it must be witnessed start to finish to be fully appreciated. But, thinking about the true nature of it, makes it more terrifying. Unfortunately, all the other sequels weren't able to recapture the charm of the first one but if you want an epic, gore-filled, tense story about survival then you'll likely enjoy this one as long as you can get past the gore.

Final Verdict: 9/10 Amazing
Eraserhead (1977) - Review

This is definitely one of the most weirdest films I've ever seen. Despite its weirdness though, I actually found it to be thoroughly entertaining and I even got a few chuckles out of it due to its weirdness.

Henry, our protagonist, faces a number of bizarre and horrifying obstacles before meeting someone of the opposite sex and her family.

This film sure does have a lot of weird events which go on in it. However, I feel that every event which goes on in it has a purpose. Also, I felt that none of the events were there just to be there. None of them felt forced and many of them caused different reactions out of me. Some of them unnerved me while some actually got a few chuckles out of me due to how bizarre they were. It was an odd reaction I got out of it but it did make the movie more entertaining.

This film may not make much sense to some but it's art. Art has multiple interpretations to it. Many people have their own interpretation to the film. I've seen many of them. My interpretation of the film is that it takes place on another planet and all the weird things which go on are alien-like. They seem weird to us but it feels normal to all the people who live there. There are a few other valid interpretations I've seen brought up but this one makes the most sense to me.

Also, the visuals are amazing. Despite being almost 40 years old, they still look very disturbing and that's pretty impressive especially when you consider other films around the time period. Also, I really liked the sound design. It is well-done as well and it also adds much more to the disturbing graphics. It works well with the visuals.

In conclusion, this movie is amazing. I think that this film is an outstanding masterpiece. This is a superb work of art. It leaves a lot of room for interpretation and it is never too complicated as well. If you want to see one of the most weirdest movies out there then make sure you watch this. It is not only weird but it is also well-written.

Final Verdict: 10/10 Masterpiece
Fight Club (1999) Review

This movie is about a troubled man who meets a stranger and they decide to open up an underground boxing club which eventually grows out of control. The movie is dark and unorthodox. The brutality helps drive the movie and it shows how a simple fighting group can go out of control and take a dramatic turn. It has a surprising twist ending which will knock you out cold. It was very surprising and I liked the choice it made. The movie gives clues throughout the movie that most if not all people would miss the first viewings which leaves room for re-watching it. Every time I give it another viewing, there is always something new to be found. Many people might turn away when they see the brutality but it didn't bother me. What makes this movie so special is that it dared to go where no film has ever attempted to go before and that's what makes it so special. I think that this is one of the best movies of the 90's. Its creativity can inspire hours of discussing and it will be a film which will probably age well.

Final Verdict: 9/10 Amazing
Die Hard (1988) Review

Die Hard has had many sequels but none have ever had the sheer amount of thrills this one had. This movie is about a group of employees at a Christmas party who get taken hostage by terrorists and one cop in the building has to save them. It's funny, thrilling, it has great performances, and it has great actors. This movie makes every fight scene look very tense and it has creative kills for the terrorists. It also surprises us with its well-constructed script and its perfect pacing which remains consistent and easy to follow throughout the whole film. The movie is not perfect though because of the marriage conflict with McClane and his wife. It's great for an action movie to have a character development but I found it to be uninteresting. But this is a minor complaint on my part. Overall, this movie is fantastic. It's super entertaining and it has influenced many later action films. Many have tried to top this but none have ever succeeded. This movie is probably one of if not the best action movie of all time and it's a must watch for all fans of the action genre.

Synopsis

I wanted to get better at teaching software engineering. I quickly discovered that the trick of it was to turn my students' brains on. With the correct mental attitude in place, the details of anything they needed to do tended to sort themselves out.

Over many years I tried many things and kept whatever worked. The hyperlinked title leads to a complete set of my final material, which produces a step function in the usefulness of commercial IT staff, but is usually commercially unacceptable because it emphasises things like personal awareness and responsibility! Even more oddly, no-one will ever say why they will not discuss this stuff in commercial contexts - they just change the subject, or blame ISO9001 (which in itself is not to blame) every time.

I was of course aware that the direction my teaching practice was going in was the exact opposite of trends in the industry, which had come to believe in something called the Software Factory. In this, unskilled "code monkeys" are rewarded when they pretend to be mindless automatons themselves, executing programs found in shelfware - so called standards documents - which are taken as behavioural tramlines and micropoliced like scenes out of Monty Python's "Spanish Inquisition" sketch. Which causes a problem if the program they must write is not exactly the same as a program that has been written before. And that's all a good programmer should do! I was also aware that the way I was teaching students to approach problems worked, whereas Software Factories are a silly idea, sterile from the beginning.

I had a feeling I was onto something very important indeed here. It was the psychological equivalent of a stick with one end. If only I could find a way to look at it without getting cross-eyed, I could learn more than I could ever have hoped about the nature of "reality". So I stopped teaching and started investigating.
Buried (2010) - Review

File:Buried snake scene-0  This is a highly entertaining thriller which will keep you on the edge of your seat throughout its entirety.

After a truck driver wakes up inside a coffin, he discovers that terrorists captured him and are holding him for ransom. All he has with him is a phone and a knife.

Despite the fact that this movie is filmed in a coffin the entire time, the movie interests us every step of the way. The claustrophobic setting makes the movie really tense. The fact that this movie is filmed in a coffin for the whole movie makes for an impressive feat.

Ryan Reynolds gave a gripping performance which carried this movie expertly. His emotions and facial expressions engage us in the movie in many scenes.

I'm not going to spoil the ending but it is quite unexpected and sad. However, it is fitting and the viewer understands why it was necessary. There was really no other fitting way for the movie to end.

In certain parts though, disbelief must be suspended. For example, I don't think his phone would've worked under the sand. Also, he probably would've suffocated long before the credits rolled. I don't think he would have had enough Oxygen to survive so long. These nitpicks don't completely take the viewer out of the experience but it does bug them a bit.

Overall, this is a pretty great movie. As long as you can get by the nitpicks then this will be a tense and claustrophobic thriller which will keep you on the edge of your seat the entire time.

Final Verdict: 8/10 Great

Inception (2010) Review

Inception may not be the 14th best movie ever made (its rank on IMDb's top 250) but it's still a mind-blowing summer blockbuster which offers an elaborate plot.

This is about a thief who has the ability to access someone's dreams and steal info from them. After, he goes on one final mission, it becomes complicated as an outside force attempts to stop him and his crew.

This is a mostly astonishing film. It requires the audience to remain on the edge of their seats in its entirety. Many modern summer blockbusters are thoughtless and hollow. It's great to see something of its complexity come out this time of the year. It's real refreshing.

The action is magnificent. It's done in a great way and the movie utilizes the dreams to make truly visually spectacular scenes. They aren't as revolutionary as The Matrix's visuals but they still are pretty great. Some of the best scenes include the zero gravity fight in the hallway and the van falling into the river in slow motion.

Although it's easy to get lost in Inception's plot, Christopher Nolan doesn't expect you to understand every element of this film. You just have to understand that this is a movie you have to watch again. But it's plot is handled with meticulous care.

But this movie isn't the best with character development. At first I was going to ignore this but now that I think of it  what exactly do we know about Joseph Gordon-Levitt's character? Most of the other characters were pushed aside and we didn't get any time to connect with them emotionally.

In conclusion, this is a pretty entertaining blockbuster. Sure, it's light on character development but it's still a highly entertaining blockbuster with an elaborate plot that works well.

Final Verdict: 9/10 Amazing
Breaking the Cycle of Stress

There are several paths to dealing with the stress cycle. The first one may be that it is used by a minority for its own personal benefit, letting most people succumb to the cycle of stress and fall into ignorance of its effect on them.

### Obviation

Do not go to stressful places; also avoid doing stressful tasks if at all possible. Do not propagate stress because it would only return.

### Amelioration

Whatever happens, stressful situations can be reframed as useful challenges thus reducing the harmful health impacts of stress. Always honouring the struggle as something useful is also a good tactic to maintain a growth mindset. Planning for critical situations and thinking for solutions prior to the actual event or catastrophy can let us keep calm when the stress does occur so that the cognitive deficits that occur are supplemented by preplanned and prepared courses of action. However any experience of stress may keep the background stress elevated and is therefore harmful for our cognitive capacities and problem solving skills.
Timeless universe

The **timeless universe** is a concept of the universe that has no time. In the timeless universe, everything is left frozen in time or at least every object moves incredibly slow. Light travel is an example of reaching a universe that has little to no time since it is the fastest obtainable speed in this universe.

12 Angry Men (1957) - Review

This debut feature is a gripping and engaging courtroom drama which is very effective. After I watched it once, I wanted to watch it again.

A boy is accused of murdering his father. The twelve jurors retire to the jury room to determine whether he's innocent or guilty. Only 1 of them thinks he's not guilty and he has to persuade the other men why he thinks so.

I personally found this to be extremely amazing. The movie was able to keep my attention for the whole way through. It was interesting seeing the men say counter arguments back and forth. Also, 1 of the jurors appears to be a sadist who just wants the boy to be put to death regardless of what evidence he's presented with. In my opinion, he is the best character in the movie because his acting performance makes him a very convincing character.

Speaking of the acting, it was strong on all parts. As I said, Juror #3 (Lee J. Cobb) gave the best performance in the movie. However, there are several more actors who did a great job as well. Jurors #8 (Henry Fonda) and #9 (Joseph Sweeney) gave exceptional performances and the other 9 jurors gave convincing performances also. I don't think that they could've given a much better performance.

Also, I found the movie to be very easy to follow. It gives a brief explanation of its plot at the beginning so everyone knows what's going on right before the 12 jurors meet. Also, the movie was very well-written. The fictional murder case set up was well and it contained a lot of elaborate plot points to it which were brought up during the movie.

I can see why this movie has gotten as much praise as it has now. It is one of the most engaging and tense movies I've ever seen. The tension doesn't really come from action like many other movies do. The tension comes from the arguments brought up and how the jurors behave. I just watched this movie yesterday and I already want to watch it again. So far, this is one of my favorite movies of all time and it might even had the ability to become my #1 favorite. I'll just wait and see.

Pharmacological solutions to stress

1. block the glucocorticoid secretion(metyrpone,aminoglutethemide)
2. block glucocorticoid receptors (RU486 - abortion drug)
3. supplement excess energy (mannose, ketones(ketonic diet)?)
4. build a better neuron - far off but can it be hacked with increasing myelination and synaptogenesis
5. do not get into stressful environments
6. β-adrenoceptor antagonist propranolol
7. pirlindole
8. S107 = prevented learning and memory deficits associated with stress-related disorders.
9. linalool
10. guanfacine(?)
11. Calypsol - first known paravaccine against stress, works in minute doses, carries the stigma of being a street drug also called ketamine

As the original problem may also be caused by toxoplasmosis rather than chronic stress, it is possibly cured by ceftriaxone.
Superfluid

A **Superfluid** is a type of matter that exists at a low energy state. It is a type of liquid that has zero viscosity. It is exists when liquid has been exposed to the temperatures near Absolute zero. At this temperature, the liquid can flow continuously. While it flows, it can defy gravity. For example, a superfluid in a cup can flow immediately out of the cup and reach the bottom of the cup.

Superfluidity is a trait that is present in liquid helium.

It is speculated that superfluid liquid exists within a Neutron star. Beneath the solid surface of the Neutron star is a thin layer of superfluid liquid that is near the core.
Cycle of Stress

Stress levels are maintained in a society by the mechanisms of various social games. Addictions to sugar, alchohol and tobacco and the related social repercussions keep the stress fueled. Stress causes a cognitive blindness and functional fixedness, people lose metacognition and control over their awareness. This results in managers blaming their workers and not seeing the mistakes they themselves are persistently making. Result is a productivity loss and now people are blamed at ever greater levels. Stress increases, and blame avoiding turns into forming various new rituals. As people stress more, more *Ceremonies* are added to their activities as habit behaviours and that contributes to no added value other than some comic ones. Stress often causes physical ailments and mental anxiety, further contributing to a fall in productivity. Eventually as the stress is increased and sustained without vents or obviations, the nation collapses economically or a war is started to release the tension. Stress of poverty through a ruined economy starts another cycle of stress. The whole soul of a nation is more obsessed with stress than with creating value and not many people will ever see that. Without an awakening, that is.
Antimatter

**Antimatter** is a type of matter that exists in the universe. From its name, antimatter is the opposite of matter. In antimatter, there are different type of atoms like positrons and antiprotons. Though antimatter may be a mystery to many, it can be found in the Sun. The explosions that constantly happen on the Sun's surface is a result of antimatter and matter coming into contact with each other. Most stars house an ample amount of antimatter which interacts with matter which produces a great amount of energy.

Introduction

"For decades we have known that some people are 25 times more productive than most in software engineering jobs. We also know that there are “gelled teams” which are consistently 10 times more productive than most across the whole project lifecycle.

In 1987 I built a gelled team by accident. It was an experience that I wanted to repeat, and for ten years I tried to do so, with increasing degrees of success. I discovered that (almost) everyone can become a super-programmer, and with a crew of super-programmers, gelled teams form up naturally. But I also discovered that I was playing with fire. Whenever I got a team ready to be really useful, there would be a bizarre negative reaction from all sorts of other people who were employed within the same organizations, but were not part of the teams I was working with. Sometimes this effect was so strong it could become a workplace hazard, and it always grew until the teams themselves were no longer able to function.

There was something very strange going on, that seemed to involve the cognitive state of individuals, as well as mysterious sociological effects at the organizational level. Worst of all, I had no idea why my odd collection of little talks, examples and jokes actually worked. There was already some evidence for a mystery here. Programming is labour intensive, costly intelligence work. Why has there been so little progress in understanding it since Weinberg’s *The Psychology of Computer Programming* in 1971?

I stopped teaching, and spent another ten years looking for a theoretical basis for the work, that would explain what was happening and enable further progress. It got to the point where I could pencil in some bits of neuroscience that didn’t exist yet, but had to be true for the cognitive and social aspects to make sense.

Now I can tell the story from the ground up, and describe exactly how to build super-productive gelled teams that make going to work a pleasure for all involved, explain where the dangers come from, and define the necessary pre-conditions for dealing with them. If you can’t establish the pre-conditions, don’t try to build a gelled team.

Best of all, this approach to “debugging the organization” addresses complex social issues without fuzziness. You don’t even have to be a “people person” to use it - that’s the benefit of solid understanding." -- Alan G. Carter on the Programmer's Stone blog
Edge of the Universe

The **Edge of the Universe** is a place in the universe where it is on the brink of exiting the universe. The Edge of the Universe is also the boundaries of the universe. However, the Edge of the Universe is a dual concept that may apply to the Observable universe and the Whole universe.

## Observable universe

*Main Article: Observable universe*

In the Observable universe, one only knows what is in the visible universe at a distance. In this type of universe, the edge of the universe would more likely be at the region where light is no longer visible to an observer. The observer could only see objects at a distance that are visible. The last object towards the visible barrier could be considered the edge of the universe.

## Whole universe

*Main Article: Whole universe*

In the Whole universe, there is a possibility that the universe could be infinite and may never have a relative edge to it. The whole universe is beyond what the observer could observe and what may lie beyond the light horizon.
