Like capitalism, socialism is another commonly used word in politics. But this word has been misused to such a great extend that it is seen as synonymous with communism. Socialism is the economic system where the means of production and resources are publicly owned. Citizen may work to produce the goods and services but the…
Capitalism is the preferred system in wealthy, democratic nations. It is a word that used a lot in politics. Unfortunately, it is often misused which causes false ideas about the implications of capitalism and what defines a capitalist. Capitalism is the economic system based on private ownership of the means of production which leads to…
I recently had the chance to watch a movie called “Brick.” I haven’t seen a movie like this for quite a while, so I decided to share my thoughts on it. Brick follows a high school student named Brendan. Brendan is amazingly intelligent. He constantly takes things into his own hands and appears rather stubborn.…
When I first heard about the movie Stranger Than Fiction, I thought it was going to be an outrageous comedy since the protagonist is played by Will Ferrell. It is rare for one to come across a better example of why we shouldn’t judge a book by it’s cover. The plot is quite simple. Our…
I recently got the chance to watch a film called “Waking Life.” It was a very different kind of film, but I think that it’s different in a good way. This is an animated film that follows a young man trapped in a series of dreams where he converses with people or acts as a…
Usually, I would only review books written by award-winning authors, but I had to make an exception this time. “Got Fight?” is written by Forrest Griffin, one of the most loved and well-known MMA fighters out there. Watching his interviews, one can easily tell that the guy is hilarious, so I was quite excited when…
So, a little game known as Call of Duty: Black Ops (maybe you’ve heard of it) came out last Tuesday, and after playing through all of its main features, I believe I am ready to review it. Unlike with the Halo franchise, I am relatively new to the CoD series. Therefore, my skills aren’t exactly…
My friends asked me to watch the movie Red. I had my doubts… but I am glad I went along with them. The movie follows the Frank Moses, one of the CIA’s most impressive agents. He is now labeled RED (retired, extremely dangerous). Frank is struggling with the boring life of a retired agent, but…
I recently had the chance to see Paranormal Activity 2. If you have seen Paranormal Activity, then you know what you are in for. As for those of you who don’t understand how this series works… there aren’t any amazing cinematic scenes, all the footage is shot from a handheld camera or a stationary camera.…
“Warning: This book is intended for immature audiences. If you find teen guys annoying and/or disgusting, this may not be the book for you. There’s gotta be something about a cute wizard or moody vampire around here… Go find it!” So, a long time ago I reviewed “Carter finally gets it” part one of the…
Please read my previous blog entry here (review of Catching Fire, part 2 of the series) before your read this. Well… Katniss survives again, but at a great cost. Peeta is captured, district 12 is incinerated, and thousands are left dead. Also, a full fledged rebellion is unfolding and Katniss finds herself trapped in the…
Please read my previous blog entry here (review of the hunger games, part 1 of the series) before you read this. So, against astronomical odds, both Katniss and Peeta survived the hunger games. But in order to both survive and save Peeta, Katniss did the unthinkable – she openly defied the capitol. And thus the…
If you haven’t read my previous blog post about the background story of the Hunger Games trilogy, please do so here. “Could you survive on your own, in the wild, with every one out to make sure you don’t live to see the morning?” This book is the first part of the hunger games trilogy.…
Okay, I think it’s time to return to book reviews. I will start with my favourite series, the Hunger Games trilogy. This trilogy is composed of The Hunger Games, Catching Fire and Mockingjay. Basically… a war destroyed North America, but from the rubbles rose a dictatorship called Panem. Panem is made up of a high-tech…
After a week of gaming, I think I am ready to review Halo Reach. So let’s start with online multiplayer. There are countless game types a player can choose from. So this will satisfy the wants of any gamer (you can even have racing games). It is basically the super fun Halo 3 multiplayers, with…
