World War Z review (SPOILERS) revised

A month ago when my siblings were in bed, my parents took me into the TV room to see my first horror/zombie movie. World War Z; Based on the novel by Max Brooks. I'm kidding I just started to read the book and the movie zero resemblance to the movie, ZERO! They only got the title, and nothing else. What a way of good source material. The book is a recollection of survivor stories from around the world, not one character. Also you know how Jerusalem fell in the movie. Well not in the book. Even though it's 100% inaccurate it makes up for it with a mixture of and dynamite action and suspense that kept you on the edge of your seat. The characters were well put together. It said to have many production issues yet somehow it made millions and good reviews. The main reason I like this film is because how it started my love of zombie pop culture. My verdict is Dynamite for being a decent living dead film with thrilling action suspense, scenes and more

Temple Grandin Review

Not long ago I watched a movie about one of the most famous people in the world: Temple Grandin. She is a woman who revolutionized and improved feedlots and slaughterhouses, making them more humane for animals. The reason why I love her work is not only we share our love for animals (even though i'm mostly a wildlife person) but also we both have autism! We have so much in common! She couldn't speak a single world until she was 4 years old, for me it took me 18 months(the average it at 8, 9 or 10 months.) So we were both delayed. And by the time I could speak my pattern as irregular. We both think in pictures, use things to calm us down and can be easily provoked and are sensitive to noise and large amounts of people. It also tells her she overcame so many barriers and changed how people look on autism.  Before I discovered her I had a fear of factory farming. I watched a video called The Meatrix (a cross between The Matrix and Food Inc.) It showed the unbelievable horrors of factory farms, e.g. using steroids in meat, antibiotics, hormones, cramped conditions, chemicals, feeding calves blood, pollution, Drugs etc! For a guy who is really into meat it was a big shock! I felt like I was digging my own grave! (Yet it did not stop me from eating meat and milk products.) Until I found out about Grandin and her work. Anyway, was 2 hours of, relief, suspense, uneasiness and a bit of tears (for my siblings.) Despite all of that, I give 5 out of 5 stars and a two thumbs up. Did you know after we watched it, it made my sister want to go vegetarian? And it still doesn't stop me from eating meat.

'The Cove' Review

A few weeks ago I watched 'The Cove.' A Academy Award winning documentary; one of the many documentaries that expose "the ugly truth." I decided to use Steeleopedia as an online critic for movies, books, etc. "The ugly truth" was the brutal slaughter and illegal capture of cetaceans (scientific name for dolphins, whales and porpoises.) While watching it, told about what the activist said "a little town with a really big secret." Former dolphin trainer Ric O' Barry traveling to the town of Taiji, Japan to expose the secret to the public. Some times the movie was very intense with a lot of suspense and espionage. Other times the Film was heartbreaking but of all it was enraging; i mean why would anybody do this? Oh wait, it begins with M and with honey: MONEY!!!!! Why has Humanity become so greedy?!? Anyway this post is going to be the first post to have a hyperlink. The link will go to the movie outside the Blog. In conclusion I think the show was interesting and I recommend it to all viewer. Come on the sooner everybody finds out the better. Just be warned; the movie may contain content inappropriate for younger viewers. It could frighten, anger, heartbreak, or even just plain nauseate, viewer discretion is advised.
