L I F E Review

My family loves to watch movies, whether it be at the actual theater for a just-released film or catching up on one at home from a few months ago. We tend to watch a movie every week and sometimes even more than once a week. Today my brother had some friends over which left the rest of us - my mom, dad and myself -  to find something to do. My mom scrolled through the movies on Spectrum and she found LIFE.

 I remember watching the trailer when it first came out and I thought then it would be a really great movie. I was right. 

 The movie started off with an introduction to the team and their mission - they had been sent into space to intercept the unmanned Pilgrim 7 space probe, which has soil samples from Mars. The main scientist, Hugh, then proceeded to try and reanimate a dormant cell they found in the soil sample. He was able to get it to animate and it started to grow eventually becoming a multi-celled organism. At this point, they thought they had made a breakthrough and shared their findings with Earth. For some odd reason, everyone on Earth got too excited and got middle school children involved, by this I mean they asked them questions and one of them named the alien "Calvin." 

 It was after this things went crazy and to avoid saying any spoilers I will not continue describing the plot. Let me just say that this movie had me and my family looking through fingers, it was absolutely terrifying in the best way. I highly recommend you all watching it if you haven't already. (It was also really cool to see Ryan Renolds in a more serious role.)

 Here is the trailer just in case you haven't heard of the film:

    I've seen this movie too! I would say it's a must-watch for anyone interested in sci-fi thrillers. I didn't watch the trailer beforehand so I didn't know what to expect. I must admit I wasn't particularly happy about the ending...

    I saw this movie too! It was interesting but I feel like its one of those movies that I would only watch once. I was not totally hooked on the story, but I enjoyed watching it until the end. Watching movies is a great way to have family time when everyone can get caught up in there busy schedules.

    You had me at Ryan Reynolds! I haven't seen this movie, but I'm a huge fan of Mr. Reynolds so I already can tell that this is a great movie. What genre does this movie fall under- Sci-Fi ? Thriller? I just added it to my "movies to watch" bucket list. Thanks for the suggestion.

    This movie sounds super cool. It is really sweet you and your family do that! I don't think my family and I could manage to find a time for all of to sit down together for more than 30 minutes! I love that your family does!

    My family and I always go to movies as well. I think it is a great activity to do with family when you want to have a chill night. I had not heard of this movie, but after reading your post I want to watch it!

    Love that you have that family tradition. My family is too impatient to sit down and watch a movie. Never seen life but i enjoyed the trailer.

Caught Between Two Generations

Caught Between Two Generations Comparing Demographic Classifications: Millennials vs. Generation Z Can you imagine what it would have been like without the invention of smartphones? Maybe you don’t have to imagine it because you lived it. Maybe you wouldn’t dare imagine it because it’s all you’ve ever known. How about laptops or iPods or even tablets? Do you remember when they first were introduced or did they already exist? I’m one of the people that grew up while all this amazing technology was just starting out. I was part of a generation that learned how to use technology as it came out. For the longest time, I had thought I was part of the Millennial demographic – my marketing professors had always told me and the class that we were Millennials – but I’ve come to realize that I may be part of Generation Z. You may be asking, “Why does it matter which generation you are associated with?” To that, I say that it’s important because there are certain characteristics, t...

Initial Thoughts on Growing a Farmer by Kurt Timmermeister

Image
When professor Hansen first introduced Growing a Farmer to us in class, my interest was peaked. I initially thought, "Why would any sane person from the city (willingly) become a farmer?" It just didn't make much sense to me. After reading the first few chapters, I started to see why Kurt decided to become a farmer. For some unknown reason he had always dreamed of owning a farm (specifically one that looked like the farms he had seen in old British styled movies) and when given the chance he jumped on it. I can't say that reading Kurt's experiences has swayed me to drop everything and become a farmer, far from it, but I can say that I admire his ambition and persistence. Even when things went horribly wrong, whether it be the countless amounts of dead bees or it be his own goats and the wild deer attacking his precious plants and trees, he persisted and that is admirable.  Although I admire Kurt’s tenacity, I do have some criticisms. I’m a bit upset with his att...
