As many know, the way we humans view the world in three dimenstions: length, width, and height.  However, from a mathematical perspective, it is possible that there could be more dimensions.  A common misconception is that time is the 4th … Continue reading →

It may be just me, but I feel recently (like as soon as the calender turned), a lot of crazy things have been happening.  The year started off with thousands of birds dropping dead out of the sky.  I still … Continue reading →

The movie Outbreak was really interesting to me from an epidemiological and pathological standpoint. Maybe it’s just my interest in nursing coming out, but it seems the topic of diseases is always entertaining. The movie especially reminded me of a … Continue reading →

Let’s be serious for a moment. While we all have our differences, we all have one thing in common: A crazy Aunt. Ok, let me rephrase that, my Aunt isn’t really crazy, just paranoid. My Aunt always tells me that … Continue reading →

After reflecting on the movie Outbreak, I’ve decided that it is perhaps the most believable film that we have viewed in class thus far. I realize that there were some significant holes in the plot, especially with regards to timelines, … Continue reading →

It is not uncommon for me to be the last person to get a joke. The usual “ohhhh” moment might come a couple minutes later. Going back to the movie Sunshine, I (like most people) thought I fully understood it. … Continue reading →

A couple of days ago, I came across a text about Canadian author Margaret Atwood’s “The Handmaid’s Tale” (1985). I read this dystopian science-fiction novel a few years ago, in high school, and it first came back to me a … Continue reading →

Glad to see I have your attention.  The title is not entirely unprecedented, as it actually has some relevance to what I’m going to say. I decided to write another entry on “Idiocracy,” the movie that Faith and I will be … Continue reading →

Last night, after a long day of learning and working, I finally laid down for bed at around 12 am. In the midst of one of my dreams, my brain switches from the beautiful waters of the ocean (I must … Continue reading →

When I was watching “Idiocracy” for our upcoming presentation, I noticed many different things that were interesting about the movie and the messages it portrayed. In the film, Joe Bauers, an average American, participates in a hibernation project. As the … Continue reading →

The earthquake in Japan and ensuing tsunami that struck just over a week ago will surely be in future presentations on natural disasters for this Honors class. This quake has been the most powerful to hit the island in recorded … Continue reading →

Much of my spring break was spent at Bowling Green State University in Toledo, Ohio, the site of my younger brother’s annual championship swimming meet. There were hundreds of spectators in the stands, many of which were discussing the recent … Continue reading →

No, I’m not making any snide remarks about Disney’s food or hygiene. And I’m not referring to motion sickness or any bizarre skin condition. I’m talking about Disney World’s politically correct “Green” image. Anyone who doesn’t know what I’m referring … Continue reading →

Considering our class has gone through five out of the seven movies we will watch this semester, I thought it was appropriate to write a blog about a trend I’ve seen in several movies. It’s something that didn’t really come … Continue reading →

It’s truly amazing how sour good intentions can turn or for that matter, good ideas. Take The Happening, and break it down to its bare essentials. No, I’m not talking about the brand of makeup, although I would be very … Continue reading →

The Day After Tomorrow and Sunshine both have similarities: both depict “possible” future disastrous events that dangerously impact life on Earth, and ultimately, both end in triumph and the saving of human life on earth. However, despite the broad plot … Continue reading →

While I realize that Dr. Pillar made the passing remark that The Day After Tomorrow is an Absolute Zero with a larger budget, I had already half written this comparison blog of the two movies. Plus, I think I have … Continue reading →
