Journal entry for "Angels & Demons"

“Why change the world if the world is not watching?”

The Illuminati deeply wants revenge against the Catholic Church for years of humiliation and torture. In the past, the Catholic Church had held “la purga”, the branding of illuminati scientists with the symbol of the cross to purge their sins. The murdered scientist’s bodies were then dumped into the streets of Rome as a warning to other possible Illuminati members. As long anticipated revenge, the Illuminati captures the “four cardinals” and plans to reenact the horrific branding and public discarding of the bodies. The deaths of these cardinals will then be remembered…by millions.

The final detonation of the Vatican will leave the religious world in complete uproar and confusion. The present existence of the Illuminati will be revealed, just as they hope.

When horrible actions have been committed in the past, the person(s) affected want their revenge to become noticed and receive the attention that they believe should have always been received. Actions are committed everyday and constantly dismissed by the public. Those who are directly affected do not dismiss their agony and through time build up a strong bitterness to those involved, which one day shows through.

I have since finished this novel and have a different perspective, as the novel goes through a complete twist at the end.

Review for "The Game"

At only 15 minutes into the movie, "The Game", I found myself perched on the edge of my seat, tightly clutching the plastic popcorn bowl. The question "What is going on?" continuously flashed through my mind until reaching the intense, final climax at the very end of the film. "The Game" is a psychological thriller involving a prestigious man, who has everything money can buy, being sent by his younger brother on a mind blowing journey of a lifetime. The man's real life begins to become tangled deep in with "the game", over time hinting towards a larger conspiracy. The two main actors, Michael Douglas and Sean Penn, are very convincing and contribute substantially to the suspense of the film. As suspense continues building until the end and your breath becomes shorter, the true meaning of "the game" is revealed, unravelling a new outlook on the entire movie. "The Game" is an extremely intense movie guaranteed to take you on an adventure you won't soon forget.
