Both the first and second time I viewed “Sunshine” I was entertained by how psychologically thrilling it was. I also appreciated the depictions of what life was like under extreme conditions in the outer universe. I would assume that if … Continue reading →

  Dear Sun, First off, hello. Let me open my letter with a thank you. Thank you for always being there for us. You provide us with Vitamin D which fuels many of our body functions, along with serotonin allowing … Continue reading →

I have always loved movies that can depict the future with some realism. “Children of Men” as well as another favorite, “The Road,” portray earth as a dark, dirty, barren land barely inhabited by humans after post apocalyptic war. The … Continue reading →

In relation to the movie Sunshine we watched, space travel and orbit is always an interesting topic to man. In the news, they just launched the final mission of the spaceship Discovery. By the time this voyage ends, it will … Continue reading →

I was so interested in the topic of the psychological aspects of long space missions that I decided to do a little more research to find real-world examples, and see if it as much of an issue as it is … Continue reading →

After watching the film “Sunshine,” I was astounded!  Finally, a non-corny Sci-fi movie with graphics that are semi-believable.  Not only do I think that the film’s visuals were legitimate, but the portrayal of the characters and inter-personal interactions on the … Continue reading →

If you were to pick any second of any day, it would be impossible to find a single location that isn’t experiencing some type of problem. May it be a family being destroyed by infidelity, a work place crumbling due to … Continue reading →

Different than traditional disasters, I was also curious about some of the alien encounters mentioned in Hollywood Science, just as Carlie has previously posted about. Reading the chapter, I started realizing just how many alien movies I have seen without realizing how … Continue reading →

Humans. Damn we’re complex. The human variable is always changing, never stable. We’re beautiful in every sense of the word, yet at the same time imperfect, shown with the savagery we are more than capable of. We’re able to build … Continue reading →

Hold on. Let me get-up on my soap box for just one little bit. Let me tell you about why the world is going to hell in a handbasket. While we can critique and laugh at a movie like Absolute … Continue reading →

In the book Hollywood Science, I noticed how the movie “The Puppet Masters” was mentioned.  I decided to do a little researching to see if the plot of the movie is perhaps related to something that was occurring societally in … Continue reading →

The year is 2027 and the world is in disarray. The worlds developed countries have continued development, but perhaps for the worst. A child has not been born in 18 years. Infertility has spread among women on every continent and country upon … Continue reading →

I thought the movie “Children of Men” was brilliantly produced and directed; I can definitely say that it is one of my favorite films.  There are so many things that one could focus on in this movie, which I probably … Continue reading →
