Searching

The film that I have chosen to speak about today is called Searching. It stars Debra Messing and John Cho. The film portrays John Cho as a father by the name of David. It shows a father's journey to discover the truth about what happened to his daughter Margot. Debra Messing plays Detective Rosemary Vick who is the police officer on the case.  Prior to Margot going missing, we learn that Margot's mother had passed away from lymphoma two years earlier which caused the relationship between Margot and John to become fractured. Margot had been attending piano lessons which she cancelled 6 months ago. She was also talking to her uncle and they were taking weed together. There is an online video of a man by the name of Randy Cartoff who admitted to sexually assaulting Margot and then killing himself. David receives an email of a memorial service that he can arrange for Margot. There is a scene in the beginning part of the film where Margot rings David three times, twice by her phon

This is the first blog that I have done in 5 years. I will be talking about the film 'A Simple Favor'.  A Simple Favor was directed by Paul Feig who has directed films with actor Melissa McCarthy such as Ghostbusters, Spy, Bridesmaids and The Heat. The first that I watched A Simple Favor, I instantly fell in love with it. The characters change throughout the film, it becomes apparent that the two female characters are in control in this film. We have Stephanie Smothers played by Anna Kendrick who is quite innocent in the beginning of the film, she over volunteers for extra curricular activities and is quite lonely as well. On the other hand we have Emily Nelson who is completely different, she swears a lot, she likes martinis and works as a fashion P.R in the city.  Emily asks Stephanie for 'A Simple Favor' to pick her kid Nicky up from school. Emily goes missing and Stephanie starts to discover that she didn't know Emily as much as she thought she did. Stephani

Straight from Season 1, Once Upon a time has amazed audiences with bringing in such famous and loved fairy tale characters. The Evil Queen cursed all the fairy tale characters and sent them to a place called Storybrooke.  What people don’t actually know is that long before Regina was born, her mother Cora (Queen of Hearts) fell in love with Rumpelstiltskin, Cora was set to marry a king which would make her queen. Cora broke up with Rumpelstiltskin by ripping out her own heart. As Cora did not have her heart, she was able to do all these heartless evil things. Regina told Snow White a secret that Snow told to Cora, the secret was that Regina was in love with Daniel the stable boy and they were going to run away together, Cora crushed his heart in front of Regina and the day after Regina married the king. From that moment, Regina became The Evil Queen. Snow White and Prince Charming had a daughter called Emma, in order to protect her they sent her through a magic wardrobe abandoning her

Mo Money, Mo Problems

A massive problem that so many students face when going out is “Will I have enough money for tonight?” or “Should I take my card because then I can get more drinks?” It is such a bad thing in my opinion to take your card out when clubbing. It takes so long to sort your account again, you have to block on it and everything. I know what I am talking about because this has happened to me. Last January, I went to Dungeon with my friends, taking my Samsung Galaxy S3 and my wallet with all my cards. My friends were all telling me not to mix drinks but me being as stubborn as a mule, I didn’t want to listen to them, I should of heeded there advice because what happened later could only be explained as devastating . I got so drunk that I passed out in Dungeon, my friend Raheem carried me out of the club, taking me into a pizza shop, I threw up in there and threw up outside. This total dickhead who pretended to “help” me, brought tissues out to wipe vomit from my mouth while stealing both

Nicki the boss, Nicki the harajuku barbie

The artist I shall be blogging about today is Nicki Minaj. To her Barbz, she is Onika Tanya Maraj. ‘Massive Attack’ was the first song I heard from Nicki. One of my favourite songs by Nicki featuring crazy rapper Lil Wayne is ‘High School’. The lyrics are explicit from Nicki and Lil Wayne but rhyme and work so perfectly. Nicki: ‘he said he came from Jamaica, he owned a couple acres, a couple fake visas, coz he never got his papers, gave up on love fuckin with the heartbreakers’, Lil Wayne: ‘she got a nigga at home, and one on the side, best friend is a dyke, and fucked around a few times’. This new look that Nicki is rocking now makes her look so beautiful and pure. We’ve seen a new side to Nicki, she’s not just bat-shit insane, she’s been through some troubles. She had an abortion, she’s broken up from her boyfriend Safaree Samuels. She is now dating fellow rapper Meek Mill. Nicki’s new album, The Pink Print is basically a female spin on Jay Z’s ‘The Blue Print’. This is becaus
Coming back to uni after Christmas holidays was always going to be exciting. I was always going to be nervous about the new subjects that I would be learning. Video was the first new lesson I was going to be learning. This enabled us to learn the tricks of using a camera. This included using tripods properly and how to place the camera on the tripod. This also included learning how to use the equipment for filming and taking pictures inside and outside. Law and Ethics was the next subject that I would be learning. It was so exciting to learn about defamation of character, types of hearings, Employment Tribunals and etc. Law and Ethics has been an interesting subject to study. Going to Magistrates Court was very different and we had to be quiet when we were watching the different cases. They were all very interesting to watch and we all had something to talk about afterwards. Crown Court was more intense as the case was a sexual abuse case and I just couldn’t believe how intense Cr
The Malaysian plane crash that has been broadcasted internationally has shocked thousands and left families distraught. There were a total of 227 passengers that included 153 Chinese and 38 Malaysian, which is on the MH 370 Passenger Manifest that puts into detail the name, the nationalities, and the ages of the different passengers. There were also two male passengers who were travelling using stolen passports apparently stolen from an Austrian and an Italian in Thailand in 2012 and 2013. In my opinion, the interesting issues about the plane crash is that there is a document that can actually tell you the names, nationalities and ages of all the passengers who were on the plane. This could be important information as it could be used to find the lost passengers. This story has interested me as putting yourself in the shoes of the families who are distraught and worrying is something difficult to think about. It’s tough to think what these family members are going through. Hopeful
