Jane the Virgin, girl you need to just make up your mind!!

Audiences love a good love triangle
and Jane the Virgin delivers a juicy one. While happily involved with her
boyfriend Michael, Jane has what was supposed to be a regular check-up with her
gynecologist that ends up being anything but regular. It is during this doctor
visit that Jane, a devout catholic and virgin, is accidentally artificially
inseminated and the father is none other than her teenage crush and current
boss, Rafael! Once Jane finds out she is pregnant and who the father is, the
triangle begins to form. Rafael discovers he is the father and at first is not
at all interested in Jane, but that soon changes. Oh and did I mention he was
married? The more time Jane and Rafael spend together the more they start to
fall in love. So the initial dilemma is does Jane stay with her boyfriend or go
with the father of her baby? The show has a “Team Michael” “Team Rafael” feel
to it and I will admit it had me going back and forth a few times. They really
milk the drama on the love triangle with Jane changing her mind seemingly
daily. The story plays out back and forth, back and forth, back and
forth...........

It plays out way too long.

I can understand that finding out
your pregnant while still a virgin can be confusing, not to mention pregnancy
hormones mixed in, but really enough is enough. As I see it, Jane is a devout
catholic, and while I am not catholic, I'm pretty sure her faith would have
made her decision for her. Accidental or not she should end up with the father
of her child. There is enough drama and story-line with the other characters
that they don't need to drag the love triangle out for so long. Have Jane marry
Rafael and take it from there.
Lucy

The movie Lucy is based on the idea that people only use up to 10 percent of their brain capacity. The protagonist Lucy stumbled on a highly valuable synthetic drug called CPH4. She is tricked to work as a drug deliverer, but immediately she gets kidnapped and abused in Taiwan by gangsters who sew a bag of an unknown drug into her abdomen. She is supposed to transport the bag to Europe. With the bag in her abdomen one of the men kicks her stomach and breaks the bag. The drug then gets into her bloodstream, and Lucy undergoes unimaginable changes that begin to unlock her brain’s full potential. She is now able to think faster and more efficient. The drug helps her handle complicated tasks; she can do two different things on two different computers with ease. As time goes by, Lucy’s brain capacity increases more and more. She is able to control everything including telepathy, telekinesis, and mental time travel. Lucy becomes so invincible that no one can control or even challenge her. The movie is an entertaining movie to watch. There are many action scenes, fights, and shooting scenes which create tension in the movie. Luc Bensson starts off well with a clever plot. However, he rushes to the end unexpectedly. He could have done a much better job ending it by making it more dramatic. The movie is only 90 minutes long, too short for an action movie such as this. Surprisingly, none of the characters dare to oppose and to challenge her intellect. Bensson should have added more action scenes and maybe focus more on other characters rather than Lucy to give the viewer a better idea of how people think of her as a person whether she is a self-centered, power-hungry or helpful person.
IT 2 Fix

IT Chapter 1 was a remarkable movie that had the perfect mix of comedy and horror all while having the main cast be children. It was a movie with a great ending that left the viewer wanting to see the next chapter. In chapter 2 while the movie itself was adequate, the ending fell flat compared to the first one. While I was not necessarily looking for a happy ending, beating IT by shouting names at it was definitely not the best way to wrap it up. It felt cringy to watch the character defeat the clown so easily when it was terrifying them for so long and all they had to do was shout mean words at him. My solution to this would be to change the ending to a darker one to have a lasting impact on the audience. To do this I would rather have IT win at the end of the second movie and have all the characters die to him. By doing this it will leave an unexpected shock to the audience. The audience has probably grown to like these characters as they are the adult versions of the kids in the first movie. They should have some emotional attachment to them after what they have seen them go through throughout the 2 movies. By killing the characters in the end it will leave the audience devastated and will probably have a lasting impact on them even after the movie has finished. They will be thinking about what had happened and how shocking it was because the good guys didn't win in the end like most movies. Having this type of ending separates the movie even more from other horror movies, already being unique because of the comedy incorporated in the movie. Overall, changing the ending to be grimmer and not cringy like the actual one makes it better because it will have a bigger impact on the audience.

IT chapter 2

Film
Bird Box: Kaylee McGugan

The movie “Bird Box” not only has iconic actors and actresses such as, Sandra Bullock and John Malkovich but also has an amazing plot when a mysterious force takes over the population when people open their eyes to the beast.

The structure of the film is outstanding, however the ending of the film isn't up to par.

This movie is one of the most intense and suspenseful movies I’ve seen in years. However having this movie being suspenseful throughout, you would think it would end in a huge shebang. Malorie played by Sandra Bullock shows extensive acting as she is acting blind throughout seventy percent of the film accompanied by her two kids who are trying to escape the dangers of the beasts in their town. They are accompanied by other survivors who all have to wear blindfolds if they want to enter the outside. They mostly stay indoors throughout the film and only go out for supplies. As they gaze out to try and find shelter and to the “safe place” over the river the movie ends with them finding a sanctuary school for the blind. The people at the sanctuary, are obviously not effected by the beast because they can’t see it. You would assume that their are many other people that are in the same shoes as Malorie who are also trying to find this safe place that are not physically blind. However, when Malorie arrives she enters to a group of people that are all born blind. Since these people are blind, they are no different from the people outside of the walls with face masks, since Malorie had to be blind to survive. I highly disagree with this ending due to the fact that their is no change between scenery for Malorie, she is surrounding by people that can’t share the same experiences as her and aren’t accustomed to the dangers of the outside world. By having a safe house with other people just like Malorie who are able to see, would open up thousands of more possibilities for the community to grow and start from scratch.
Before Sunrise

This was one of the "talky" art films from Linklater that made everyone want to travel to Europe, become pretentious and grow inadequate facial hair. Most of us never completed the transition, but I can't imagine a person who didn't want to be Ethan Hawke if Julie Delpy was the reward. That said, I think the entire picture comes to a halt rather than an ending. I would like to #fixitinpost.

They end the film in a train station with the couple separating and agreeing to come back in six months and meet. It follows the conceit of the film. Love is not identity. Love is experience. If their love is to live, it needs to be in the future. It rests on caprice. It needs to follow the same unlikely pathway as their meeting. I'm still completely with the film up until the train pulls out of the station. I wanted a single scene shot six months later. It's cold. The trees are bare. A single figure stands on the train platform. We are just far enough away that nobody can tell if the figure is a man or a woman (or whatever Ethan Hawke is - kind of an odd combination of genders). One of them didn't show up.
It Follows

The horror film *It Follows* has two simple solutions that could have saved the protagonist, Jaime, all the worry from what follows her throughout the film. It is not said directly of what the monster is in the film, so many people can take it as any way they interpret it. The way I saw it was that the monster represents an STD. When an individual with said STD has unprotected sex with another individual, it gets passed down to them. The only thing is that the monster representing the STD doesn’t follow the person who first had it anymore, the monster will then follow whoever currently has the STD. This monster takes shape as a human and will constantly follow the current person until they finally catch up with them and kill them. Throughout the whole film Jaime is constantly in fear and running away from the monster. How could this have been prevented? One solution is that Jaime shouldn’t have agreed to go with her boyfriend to a very secluded place to have sex, which then unfortunately ends up with her boyfriend knocking her out with chloroform and passing down the STD to her. If Jaime didn’t agree to go to that secluded place, then there may have been a chance she wouldn’t have gotten the STD passed down to her so soon. But knowing that the boyfriend was being manipulative, he would have gotten his way anyway he could. A second solution is a more messed up one but still could have given Jaime a chance to live a normal life. Once she finds out the truth about the monster and how it is passed down by sex, she could have had hooked up with someone she may not like, so that way, they have the STD and they are the one being chased, instead of her close friend who ends up volunteering to have the STD passed down to him. Again, it is a very messed up solution, but it would have saved her and her friend the trouble of dealing with the monster.
Final Episode of Psych

The entire last season was a complete disappointment in the area of story line and most importantly the comedy. While the entire season did not even close to measure up to the other seven seasons, it was the last episode that was the most disappointment and offered absolutely no closure for the viewer. As someone who watched this show every week  for eight years the last scene of the final episode did not offer the closure deserved. Shawn spent all eight seasons chasing after Juliet and in the last episode he finally proposes to her but a thief steals the ring as he is down on one knee and it ends with them jumping in a car to chase the thief down.

How to fix the end? Give the viewer the closure they deserve, especially for those who followed the development of Shawn and Juliet’s relationship through the eight seasons. This closure include changing the ending of the last episode from them chasing a guy who stole the ring to ending with Shawn and Juliet’s wedding. Shawn goes up to San Francisco as they had it in the final episode, Gus follows him up there, and Shawn proposes to Juliet. Then they all go back down to Santa Barbara, from San Francisco for a nice beach wedding and close the show upon Shawn and Juliet enjoying their wedding. Gus deserved the opportunity to be Shawn’s best man and it could be a cool scene, having all of the original characters back for the final scene before the show ended. There is no need to have such an open ended final episode for the show especially since the writers and actors of the show have no intention on a resurgence or a spin off television show. If they left the last episode so open ended because they wanted to have the option of continuing the series at a later time they still could have continued it if they ended with Shawn and Juliet’s wedding.
Ace Ventura

Ace Ventura Pet Detective:

When Ace Ventura Pet detective came out in 1994, I was six years old at the time. This comedy was one of my favorite things to watch at such a young age. Jim Carrey was at his peak back around this time with other movies such as Dumb and Dumber, and The Mask being released around the same time. To my young mind Jim could do no wrong. With his outrageous antics and his hilarious appearance, he was the king of comedic movies at the time. Though many of plots and story points have stood the test of time, some aspects have not aged as gracefully as others such as the use of Transphobia and the mocking of the mentally handicapped. The main antagonist of the film ( Lois Einhorn) is revealed towards the end of the movie to be a transgender woman, more specifically, a woman who was born a man, but now identifies as a woman but who has not had a sex change operation. When this is revealed to other characters, they show signs of revulsion and disgust. Another part of the movie that has not aged well, is when Jim’s character Ace pretends to be mentally handicapped to sneak into a mental institution to get files on the antagonist. He portrays a handicapped man who is obsessed with football, and proceeds to “play the game” with various shrubs and benches around the hospital all while wearing a pink too-too. In this modern age filmmakers can learn from this display of overt mockery of these two marginalized groups of people, that stereotyping and making fun of said groups and others like them is not only cruel, but detrimental to the understanding and accepting of these two often marginalized groups of people. Film make learn from these representations from the past in their quest to make better and more inclusive content.
Breaking Bad

Breaking Bad

Season 5, Episode 16

"Felina"

For months everyone I knew was telling me that I have to watch Breaking Bad. At the time I wasn't interested, but recently I decided to check it out and OMG! I loved it so much, I literally binge watched the entire show in about 6 weeks. There were several episodes that I would've changed a bit here and there, but I think the most important thing I would've changed was the final episode. After evading a nationwide manhunt, Mr. White tracks down the Aryan gang who tricked him, shot his brother-in-law, and kidnapped his business partner in order to exact revenge. He ends up killing the whole brood, rescuing Jessie, but getting shot and dying in the end. It was so great to finally see Mr. White stepping up to help Jessie, especially after all the times he screwed him over. The thing that was so completely disappointing though was when Jessie left as the DEA raided the trailer, and he just kind of disappears into the night. I would've loved to see what actually happens to Jessie. He obviously didn't ride off into the sunset; he had to pick up the pieces of his life and figure out what to do now that everything was destroyed.Clearly Jessie would have to leave Albuquerque since he is practically famous in that small desert city for cooking meth. Maybe he could go with the cleaner guy in the minivan again, but this time complete the transformation into a new person, of course keeping his always witty catch phrase "Bitch!" The best part of Jessie starting over is that he can finally put all the pain of lost love in the past, and maybe mend his heart with someone new or just be happy to live his life on his own. Truly Jessie Pinkman deserved a happy ending after all the terrible things he'd been through. But it was sad for Walter White, however I *do* believe he got what deserved in the end.
Moments Lost in Black Panther

The Black Panther (2018) which released on February 16th 2018 has been hailed as one of the best movies that Marvel Studios has ever created. This is something that I can agree with, other Marvel films haven't had the drive that Black Panther does; the need to charge forward into the next plot point and piece of information and action.

Unfortunately, this was also the downfall for Black Panther, the need to cut down on the time that was presented from the director's cut. Originally the film was placed at nearly four hours long, which in the current day is far too long for any presentation, from theatre to film. It is very difficult to expect an audience to be able to stay attentive when being in a theater for that long. Therefore, there had to be cuts, and those cuts brought down the film time to two hours and 15 minutes.

Scenes were cut to be shorter, lines of dialogue were shortened, and scenes were cut out of the film entirely. This showed while viewing the film from a critical standpoint and not necessarily aiming for just straight enjoyment. There were moments in which I would be sitting as an audience member and realize that there should be more in that specific moment, there was more dialogue to fulfill the next plot point and so on.

As a viewer and not a creator of the film, I will never be able to know the thought process of the post-production team but I can say that I think it could have been done better. I would rather have watched certain scenes be cut instead of lines being halved for the character, as this led to less character development. The plot was well flushed out, and the scenes that stayed were phenomenal and a true marvel to look at.

Thanks to Bozeman and Jordan's performance the film stayed together propelling it to the status that I believe it holds as the best Marvel Movie to date.

Movie: The Black Panther (2018)
Avengers Endgame's Crushing Defeat

History’s highest grossing film Avengers Endgame contains aspects that make it a contender for the greatest superhero movie of all time, however the Russo Brothers failed to conclude this four-part bundle of action with anything unexpected or out of the ordinary, changes to how the cookie crumbles at the end battle scene will prevent it from being embarrassingly predictable. There are very little issues throughout the lengthy production, as the Russo Brothers did extraordinarily well with engaging viewers, regardless of the demographic. However, Avengers Endgame was well known to be the last in the saga, and since the previous film had ended with our beloved heroes in defeat, it was very obvious that it would end how typical superhero movies end. As seen in Batman vs Superman and many other cases, stories tend to conclude with one hero making the ultimate sacrifice, for the betterment of society. In Avengers Endgame, Iron Man was the one to commit the selfless act, and although the death of this character caused extreme sadness in most audiences, the circumstances were still very predictable. It was very unclear to how exactly Iron Man had slipped crucial infinity stones from Thanos’ Infinity Gauntlet during combat, while it is clearly displayed that Thanos was strong enough to take on a full army of superheroes. Instead of this simple sleight of hand trick to defeat this menace, Thanos should have kept the stones, and snapped the universe’s existence into half once again. Seeing the massly loved heroes start to disintegrate for a second time would leave an audience stunned and hopeless, as if they had just lost to Thanos himself. Since Thanos demonstrated unmatched Power throughout the films, it would’ve been ten times more controversial if the alliance of superheroes could not complete a mission, even with two attempts. The extreme dread and feel of existential defeat would sink in differently for everyone, especially when Thanos recites “I am inevitable”.
Movie: 17 Again

There is a moment in our lives where we wish we can go back and change a specific event; it can be a decision or a choice that we made; whatever the problem was, many would wish they could go back and get a second chance to correct their past. When I watched the movie 17 again, which is about a man who had it all when he was in high school yet threw it all away when he made one decision and in the present moment his life was going downhill. Like in many movies he wished he could go back to his younger self and of course he was granted his wish. Now, this film is a classic tale about someone wanting to get a second chance or go back in time, and we can see this plot happen in other movies like; When We First Met, Mr. Peabody and Sherman, Midnight in Paris,13 going on to 30 and many more. All these movies deal with either time traveling or going back to a certain age to get a second chance.

17 again was a perfect comedy, and it was heart-felt I loved it so much that I almost would not want to change anything about it. However, there is one big thing that I would change, and that would be the plot of the story. I personally did not like that he went back in time to when he was 17, yet he still was living in the present world. It was awkward that he was the same age as his kids and he would hang out with them. I understand he wanted to get to know them on a more personal level, yet since his kids had no idea that he was their father and his daughter wanted to be his girlfriend it just made things weird and uncomfortable. If you’re going to have the main character change his past, he should have gone back to the year that changed his life rather than just having him go back to his youth years while still living in the past. If Mike would have finished playing his game, then he could have at least gotten the scholarship that he wanted and then, right after the game talk to his girlfriend. I felt like they could have fixed his problems another way like having him going back to that year and start the whole year over where he can fix his relationship with his girlfriend, and they would not have to throw away their happy future.
Greys Anatomy

Grey's Anatomy is one of the longest running shows at 17 seasons so far. I have watched all the way up until about the 12th season. It is full of drama and twists and turns that leave you hanging on the edge of your seat. The characters are lovable, diverse, and get you emotionally invested into the show. The problem is that all the characters you grew to love are eventually killed off. Sure, with as many seasons as they have done you would expect a death or two here or there but you quickly learn to brace yourself for a death in nearly every episode. The problem here lies within the fact that Shonda Rimes changed everything about her show that worked. Instead of allowing her characters to grow old and mature and have a full arch she cuts them off right when her audience begins to get attached and deters people like myself from continuing to watch. Part of this of course has to do with actors contracts and them leaving the show. That cannot be controlled. However, instead of killing them off she could come up with new creative ways to end their plot. For example, maybe they transfer to another hospital or move to a different state instead of all dying.

Not only is the absurd amount of deaths on this show an issue, but the misrepresentation of what medicine and working in a hospital is actually like is a problem as well. As to be expected, this is a show and things will be dramatized. My whole family is in the medical field and it is nowhere near as exciting as the show makes it seem. Of course there are interesting cases and tense moments and trauma calls that occur, but Greys Anatomy portrays medicine as this never ending slew of drama and excitement. More day to day normal I cannot tell you how many times people have asked my family if working in the medical field is “like Grey's Anatomy”. No, their bosses do not secretly sleep with their employees that would get them fired in the real world. This being said, of course some dramatization is needed and to be expected, however, I would pull back the reins on the drama and show some more real-life, normal day to day routines at the hospital to avoid this misconception.
I am Legend

In regards to the movie I am Legend, this was a remarkable film that really touched the hearts of many fans. In this post-apocalyptic world, a virologist named Robert Neville finally finds a cure to get rid of the disease that has destroyed the country. This virus was intended to originally be a cure for cancer but ended up whipping out more than 90% of the world's population. In the end it shows how two survivors, a woman and her child, are in his laboratory and he hands them the cure to virus. After he gives them the cure and makes sure they are safe, he uses a grenade stored in his cabinet to destroy all of the nocturnal mutants, including himself. Before Neville decides that he needs to grab the grenade, the woman made it clear that there was enough room in safe room for him to live and be safe with the woman and her child. I feel that the ending of this movie could have changed or been altered differently to where he could have survived and went on to use his virologist skills to help cure the rest of the living world of the disease. The cure for this plague outbreak was in his blood all along which could have made him a hero and allowed him to save the rest of mankind. It is a very interesting ending in my opinion because he chooses to kill himself and be with his family when he could go on to help save humanity. They made the choice to kill him off in the end and I think it could have gone completely differently. Another thing I would have changed is his companion Samantha, his dog, dying in such a heartbreaking way. This caused a chain of events that just brought hurt throughout the rest of the movie.
Changing Robin Hood

One of my favorite shows growing up was a british Tv show which revolved around the Icnic character Robin Hood . The characte was played by steven Armstrong with the main bad guy being played by Richard Armitage. It has the common stories of stealing from the rich and giving to the poor. The Iconic love between Lady Marion and Robin Hood is also shown through out the series. But something drastic happens that isn't in any of the stories. Marion is killed. All this tension, and love wasted. SHe was killed off the show because the actress whoplayed her wanted to pursue a life in Hollywood. This was evident in the story,that she was getting killed off for reasons that have nothing to do with the character, because it was unexpected and seemed to be rushed. All the show was building up to was gone just like that. Loosing one of its main, charismatic character. He then falls in love with some random girl who is the exact opposite of Mario. This ended up ruining the show. If I had to change a shows ending it would be that they not only didnt kill Marion, Robin Hoods one true love, but that they would end up together. A happily ever after for true iconic characters and a love told through stores.
Groundhog day

This movie, a classic done masterfully. A romantic comedy filmed in the nineties starring Bill Murrey and Andy McDowell, is probably one of the only movies I can think of that tackles this unique subject of a day repeating itself trapping the main character of the story in the same day. The main character a reporter who is assigned to report the ground hog festival in Punxsutawney Pa. A half full kind of guy which gets to live the same day repeatedly. He wakes up every day in the same motel to find himself redoing the same assignment of reporting the festival. He goes through different phases of trying to cope with this phenonium, not understanding first to why this was happening to him, he starts to seek the wisdom behind it. The producer rolls of the tv station played by Andy McDowell, observing the experiences Bill the (reporter) is going through, finally decides to investigate the strange behavior of the help who after living in the town, experiencing the same day repeatedly decides to end his life tired from depression and anxiety soon finds out that he cannot kill himself instead gets up the next day in one piece regardless of the events of the previous day. During this ordeal and to lighten up his days in this little Victorian town finds himself changing gradually, leaving behind his old habits to eventually get out of this rot after falling in love with his producer.

This probably is one of the best flicks I have ever enjoyed, it has all the elements of great movie making it an interesting and engaging story with superb acting and photography which depicts the small town living in the eastern United states.

I found the characters simple yet masterful in their portraying the lifestyle of a Tv reporting crew and Bill Murray a frustrated reporter who changes his ways of living and in the process learns how to love and to care about others which advances his stagnant lifestyle to a more dynamic chapter allowing him to continue as a better man.

If I were directing this motion picture, I would probably make it a series which tackles other issue we all face in our daily lives, from depression, loneliness, disappointment and uses the same story telling techniques to overcome these shortcomings, and in the process, entertain and teach better social values and show the viewer that there are other alternatives in life that we can choose to improve ourselves and avoid self-destruction.
MOVING IMAGES 2

The movie Titanic was a romantic movie that sets scene on a ship that is boarding thousands of people. The main characters Jack and Rose fall in love and depict a true love story.

The Titanic was the type of movie that you have to follow along really well because of everything happening. Jack and Rose aboard a ship called the Titanic and they end up falling in love with eachother and doing romantic gestures for one another, when suddenly the ship hits an iceberg. All of the passengers freak out and everyone realizes they have to get off the ship so it starts to become hectic. Rose and Jack are trying to save as many people as they can along with finding eachother throughout the ship.

At the end They both end up in the water once the boat has sunk deep. Rose is on a piece of wood so she is afloat of the water and not as cold as Jack who is in the water. They say their last goodbyes and Rose realizes she is going to have to live without Jack. A boat picks her up and she goes back to town and grows old with memories left with Jack. Then later she is seen on the titanic throwing the necklace and goes to her bedroom and lays down to go to sleep. She dreams of being in the titanic ship that same day it went down with everyone who didn’t make it out alive.

I think the ending was something that was left unsaid. Because when Rose goes to sleep we don’t know if she passed away in her sleep and thats why she is seeing that or if she is just having another dream of jack. I think it should have ended with her selling the necklace and using the money on something Jack would have wanted to have happened and then dying in her sleep when she aboards the titanic again as she is dreaming of jack and their memories on the ship. Then have it cut to a funeral for Rose so audience know that the last memory she had was of jack.
Ad Astra

I was a big fan of Ad Astra and there weren't many things I wanted changed about it.

One thing that threw me off though were some of the completely out of context scenes... Or at least what it appeared to be in my opinion. One of these scenes that caught my attention is when the main character finds a spaceship with monkeys inside. The monkeys were extremely intelligent and aggressive - They also didn't need to wear any special helmets like the human astronauts did. The movie almost skipped through the scene as if we just didn't see a killer monkey in space. There were many questions left to be answered and nothing really added up. I think they could have used this opportunity of showing a spaceship designed for animal studies in space, to show the world a more important message, or maybe just explaining a little bit further what the monkeys were symbolizing.

ENGL MO1C "Moving Images"

Mad Max: Fury Road/Plot

Mad Max won a lot of awards and was seen as one of the best movies of 2015 and the 21st century. It was a visual and special effects masterpiece, which deserved all the recognition, but the plot was horrible and because of that, the movie shouldn't have been so well regarded. A movie needs to have at least a decent plot if everything else is so good to be considered great, but this movie had a terrible plot. The main problem was that there really wasn't a plot at all.

The whole point of Mad Max: Fury Road was that one of Joe's army lieutenants, Furiosa, had left her job and tried to escape from her life to go to a place called the "Green Place", an idyllic land Furiosa remembers from her childhood. Joe and his team go on the hunt to try to stop them, and during that hunt, Furiosa finds out that the "Green Place" doesn't exist anymore, so she heads back. She kills Joe on her way back and heads home a hero, and that's it.

This was a boring movie plot. It was basically try to go somewhere, realize it's gone, and then head back. It took the whole movie, around two hours, for that plot line to develop. I would much rather have that movie been one hour and another hour with more development into what life was now like with Furiosa as the leader. They made this nuclear holocaust area look terrible with everyone working under Joe's oppressive regime. It would have been more interesting to show the chase scene part of the movie as the first half and then dive into the new life in this nuclear holocaust with a new positive hopeful leader. I wanted to learn more about the environment and life of the people than just a few minutes that was devoted to it in the movie. The chase plot line was what it was, but the movie could've been better with more information pre and post to make that chase even more impactful. If they showed a hopeful life that was ruined when Joe took over then it would've made it more sense to know why Furiosa took off and you would've had more incentive to root for her. Same with post movie, because if we knew the type of positive change she would bring to that society then Furiosa coming back after the chase would've made more rational sense.

The plot line was boring, and just a typical chase scene movie. It would have been better with more background information to explain how they got there and how life changed, or post information to explain what improved afterwards.
How I Met Your Mother - Morgan Geyer

One of my favorite shows of all time is How I Met Your Mother. Each season was full of laughs and tears. The casting was impeccable.Ted Mosbey’s story telling was great. Lily and Marshall made me feel like true love really existed. Robin showed that there was nothing wrong with perusing your dreams. And even though Barney was a dog, he showed that there was nothing wrong with being yourself and the evolution people can go through when introduced to the right friends.

However, do not get me started on the last season. The last season ruined the entire show for me.

The show is called How I Met Your Motheryet the whole last season focused on Barney and Robin’s wedding. Literally everything was about that and not about finding the mother, his one true love. THE WHOLE REASON WE WATCHED THE SHOW! Then when we finally meet the mother, we find out that she dies of cancer. Are you kidding me? I remember screaming at the television. This whole show was about finding the mother and once we finally get to meet her, she’s dead. It still pisses me off until this day. It gets worse too. At the end of telling his children this whole story about their mom, they tell him to go after Robin one last time, AND HE DOES. If this was the way the writers knew they were going to end the show they should have just called it, “How I Banged Your Aunt Robin”.

If I had to change the show I would have had Ted and the Mother still meet at Robin and Barney’s wedding, and then instead of still focusing on the wedding cut to the mother and Ted’s life together. Talk about their love story, the one we all cared about to begin with, and have them live a long and happy life together. Have the Mother not die of cancer and instead have her live. Keep Robin and Ted’s relationship out of the ending. This is how I would have ended the show.
Fixing Grey's Anatomy

Grey's Anatomy is a suspenseful show that puts the audience into real-world scenarios that people would not normally encounter. The show is extremely informative and allowed people to understand and empathize with the medical community. The show features many characters with different positions to give the feeling that the setting is located in a real hospital. The only issue was with the continuous deaths and fallouts of the main characters. The show would constantly kill off many of the characters that people would love throughout the entirety of the show. For example, Derek, the Husband of Merideth Grey, was one of the main characters of the show and after building an emotional connection to his character, he was in a car accident and later passed away. This eventually made it difficult to make a connection with the characters and hurts the overall plot. Throughout the show, there were be many scenarios where the producers would try to keep the audience enticed by putting the main characters in danger whilst dealing with other patients. It became difficult to keep up and made the show seem overcrowded and messy. Instead of killing off all of the main characters, the show should have put one of the main characters in danger and kept the basis of the episode on that main character, rather than separating the episode into three portions with three or more different patients throughout. They should have also held off on killing most of the main characters since the audience loses their connection with the show that was built through the characters in the beginning. By the end of the last few seasons, the entire show had a completely different cast and it was difficult to keep up who was doing what job and what position they had in the show. The show is still going on although the is no longer that same and I could not continue to watch it.
Breaking Bad Argument for English Class

*Breaking Bad* is one of the most popular shows on Netflix and was released in 2008. There is one issue with the show and that is the show portrayed Skyler White, Walter White's wife, very negatively towards the middle and end of the series, which was slightly unnecessary. Their are some solutions to solve this issue that started this issue in the first place. Skyler White cares about Walter throughout his journey, but they make her really irritated with Walter and show that she made their son hate their own dad for the wrong reasons. Skyler also works with the cops to end Walter's operations, which paints her in an even more negative light. One way they could have solved this is if they emphasized that Skyler did not want to hurt Walter and that she understood Walter's intentions. If the show made it so that she understood Walter's intentions, it could have cleared up the bad thoughts Skyler had. Another solution that could have been done is if the show showed how unnecessary the money generated by Walter was because it is not mentioned how excessive the money he generated, but rather how much he made. Though Walter had good intentions, he made too much money and worked too hard for that money, which justifies Skyler's anger with him. By displaying this to the audience, more viewers would be on Skyler's side, thus solving the problem, but because the show made her convince her son to hate Walter and made her oblivious to what Water hopes to do, the audience will see Skyler as bad. Overall, the show has to either change what Skyler was thinking and what she did or how Walter solved his problem in the first place. Because Walter is seen as a tough person, his mistakes are not seen unless the viewer was to think about the entirety of the series.

Avatar: The Last Airbender

Last year, with the coronavirus still at large, Netflix added to its ever-growing list a show that was highly anticipated by its fans to be finally able to stream online. Avatar: The Last Airbender is an American animated television series that came to its conclusion in 2008. With its re-release on Netflix, new fans of the series have emerged. Now, a new generation has discovered this fantastic show. And with the momentum of trying to find out more comes the disappointment of the series’ movie adaptation. At its height, when the series was being aired for the first time, Nickelodeon, its producer, tried cashing in on the hype. With much anticipation and high hopes, the film was highly condemned by critics, audiences, and fans of the original animated series. With many movies nowadays coming from novels, those who read the original content can expect some portion(s) of the film to different from the book. But in the case of The Last Airbender, everything, and I mean everything, was missed. Its director, M. Night Shyamalan, didn’t even have to issue a statement that he had different plans for the film, as it was more than evident that he did not know anything of the series, nor did he do any research. The cast chosen for the project to the special effects arranged made this film widely considered one of the worst movies ever made. To think the animated series and its creators had done the work for director M. Night Shyamalan. Now, I cannot be naïve and expect a director not to take any liberties and change a portion of the plot or storyline, just as I cannot ask a musician not to add his flare when playing someone else’s song. But in this case, the man in charge altered the story all together without making any attempt to add improvements.
Grey's Anatomy: George's Death

Episode 24, Season 5 of Grey's Anatomy definitely kept me on the edge of my seat. The dialogue and swift turn of events created an extremely thrilling piece of the show, but there was one element that was taken out too early: George's character. George was an integral part of Grey's Anatomy, considering he was one of the main characters. He added something no other character presented on the show; He was a tad awkward, wicked smart, and showed tons of potential without letting it go to his head. George was the glue that kept the main group of doctors together, or at least was the one who kept them from strangling each other, in my opinion. If George stayed on for a longer period within the show, then maybe the group wouldn't have been so quick to leave Grey-Sloan. After his death, many of the doctors became afraid of what their own fate would be if they stayed at the hospital, and decided to look for jobs elsewhere. Their friends, one by one, seemed to fall ill and George's freak accident was almost the icing on the cake. His death also created lots of conflict between the doctors, as they were all very intense characters who would do anything to get to the top. George was the middle man, or in other words, the mediator between almost everyone on the show who could show them how to calm down or see the positives in any negative situation. His character was just too important to the other characters in the show, and was too good to have been taken off so soon. At the time of his death, another character, Izzy, was already in the process of dying from cancer. That episode could have been more dedicated to her, so we could focus on the plot of her illness, rather than combining two characters dying (or almost dying) into one episode. I feel as though there was too much chaos shoved into one episode, and would have made it easier to follow if they were done separately.

Beautiful Creatures Rethought

In the movie Beautiful Creatures, a boy named Ethan Wate falls in love with a girl he cannot be with. The forbidden love draws the audience in and makes them become attached to the main characters Ethan and Lena Duchannes. The creators extend the falling action portion of the movie by giving hope of a very happy ending with the continuous weeks and days of searching through a book which contains information necessary to break a curse. The only solution Lena could come up with was to erase Ethan’s memories of her and it remains that way until the final moments of the movie where he screams her name and she hears him and looks out to show that she heard his calls. It is a beautiful ending however it wasn't enough for me. They are not reunited and the audience is left to imagine the rest. This is apparently a book series however more movies were never made, so the ending of this movie is somewhat inconclusive for those who only watched the movie. If I were to change this, Ethan’s memories would return in the instance that the curse is lifted. They would reunite and he would be able to see the “beautiful creature” she turned into once she claimed herself. Perhaps Ethan would begin working with the librarian to take on the responsibility of the books. The ending would show Lena working with her newfound style of magic and her and Ethan would walk together at school. An ending like this would be much happier. I wanted more by the end of the movie and because there was never a sequel it felt very unfinished. While I usually enjoy the style they used in which they left the ending to the imagination, I did not like it as much for this movie.
Ferris Bueller's Day Off

**Bueller? Bueller? Bueller? Bueller?-Anyone? The Jokes are so subtle that if you don’t pay attention you’ll miss them! The entire movie is filled with comedy, anger, action, suspense, and sorrow. Who knew skipping a school day could be so eventful.**

**The entire movie is filmed around all the characters, even though the movie is titled after the main character.**

**It is a classic case of good guy vs bad guy. But who was the actual bad guy? Was it Mr. Rooney the crazy obnoxious Principal? Perhaps it was Jeanie, the meddling jealous sister? Might even have been Ferris himself!**

**My Fix**

**Ferris was the one who convinced his two friends to take the day off and go frolicking in through Chicago. He was the mastermind behind all the events that took place from getting Slone out of class to calling into the restaurant, and Poor Cameron was just there existing. Cameron's roll should have been bigger. Cameron should have stepped up and told Ferris NO many more times, not just when it came to taking the car. The conflict was not between Mr. Rooney and Ferris, he was simply doing his job. The real conflict good vs. evil is Cameron vs Ferris. When the car came back with all those miles Cameron should have hit Ferris! It was his behind that was going to be in trouble, not Ferris. When the car flew out of the garage, again someone should have been hit or at least yelled at. Cameron was so passive and sure maybe that was the nature of his character, but that would have made it even more exciting. Mr. Rooney should have gotten more than just having his car towed! There should have been a neighbor that called the cops on this crazy suspicious man, who trespassed!**

**Cameron is my hero!**
