17 Again

Over The Weekend I saw a movie called 17 Again.  It was a great movie that was about a man who was very unhappy with his current life.  Mike the main character was 37 year old father with two kids and he felt miserable with himself.  Everything was going down hill for him.  Mike just been passed over for a big promotion at work, his marriage is failing, and his teenage kids cant stand him.  In the movie Mike had got the opportunity to go back to being 17 when he was a hotshot basketball player and do everything over.
17 Again taught that life throws you many curve balls but you need to choose the right path and be happy with it.  I believe this after watching the movie because Mike did not appreciate what he had but instead wanted what he didn’t have.  This truly shows me how in today’s society people are ungrateful for what they have.  I learned to appreciate the great things in life and not to look at things that I do not have.  17 again is a great movie that everyone should watch and cherish what it teaches you.

Speed Racer

Over the weekend I read a article about relationships on the internet. The article was very interesting to me because I am in a relationship myself for a long time. The article was a about a couples at a young age and how they deal with each other and through their relationships. The article brought up some very good points that I have experienced such as both people in the relationship should have equal responsibility in the relationship to make it balanced. Another interesting thing the article had said is that both partners in the relationship should be on the same maturity level because if they are not they will not be able to get along. 

I believe this was a good article that I have read. I totally believe that in a relationship both partners should have equal responsibility because if not then one partner will always be very reliant on the other one. Another thing I believe in is that maturity is a key factor because if one partner is in mature then it will throw off the balance of the whole relationship and mess everything up. Overall I think this was a good article and I think that relationships are a lot of work and not just with one person but with both.

The Punisher

Over the weekend i saw the movie The Punisher.  The Punisher is about a man named Kevin Castle who was a regular father who was also a special agent.  One day him and his family where at the park and witnessed a mob murder.  Shortly after that the mob had found his family and killed his wife and daughter.  This made Kevin want to kill all the mobsters in New York.  Kevin did exactly that, he went after everyone and became a mafia serial killer.
I really liked and enjoyed watching this movie.  The movie has shown me how a regular man can be turned into evil over a tragic event.  I believe this is true because I've been in certain situations like this however they werent that serious that included murder.  I have learned that the most innocent people have a dark side if they are forced into a certain position of having to use it.  I believe that every person can become what Kevin become if they are pushed to the extreme brutalities of what life has to offer.
