This movie has eight characters, six old women and their bus drive and a middle-aged women named Michelle. The fact that the cast are not actors makes it even more amazing. I love each of these women in the movie. Each one has their own personality which comes out beautifully in the film.

All the sudden their bus breaks down and leaves six old women, Michelle and their bus driver in the woods of an isolated countryside. They find an abandoned cottage in the woods and to survive, they feast on wild raspberries, frog legs, and fish.

...ie was about two expert microbiologists and their journey though three remote and unknown caves, both under and above water. They investigate these caves, seeking tiny organisms that dwell in the Earth's most hostile environments, such as places with no light and few nutrients. In some instances they were even seeking organisms that had been locked in solid ice for hundreds of years. They are studying these life forms in hopes finding new drugs and antibiotics. I found the movie very interesting, and I think seeing it on the IMAX screen made it even better.
There Will be Blood (2007) is an entertaining movie that delineates in various forms that will be discussed from other western genres. It is a story that is formed from a novel by Upton Sinclair’s book, Oil! (1927) (Belton, 2009, p.401). Many westerns were based on dime novels that were written in the mid and late 1800s (Belton, 2009, p.246). American society was going through a transitional period from an agrarian society to an industrial society in the 1800s and early 1900s (Wright 2001; Desk Encyclopedia, 1989, pp. 27-28, 630-631). The change in revolutions could explain the difference in most western genres and the movie There Will be Blood. In fact, one important different aspect is the contrasts between There Will be Blood and other westerns is that most westerns are based on novels that were written earlier than Upton Sinclair’s OIL!. The United States had become more industrial and had started to change their morals, interactions, rationality, autonomy, and self-interests. These differences will compared by showing how There Will be Blood uses an anti-hero, industrialism, deceit, greed, and what is to be considered a more eastern way of life.
While the whole movie, not just this scene, externally portrays the alien and monstrous, it is similar in behavior, if not more willing to coexist than the crew itself. This particular scene consists of Ripley, the final remaining crew member, undressing and preparing to sleep for the long trip back to Earth, while the alien remains hidden and sleeping. The extraterrestrial’s choice to board the ship is seen more as one of a predator stalking its prey rather than one of survival. Ripley’s terror towards the alien’s murderous behavior is intensified when it is discovered sleeping within the walls of the ship because of the false belief of its death. The scene ends with Ripley forcing the alien out of the craft and incinerating it with the rockets, ignoring that the alien was not reciprocating the

Michael Klare's Blood and Oil Michael Klare has written an interesting and very relevant book, dealing as it does with the politics of oil, US foreign policy, the Middle East, and the causes of terrorism. He writes with a clear purpose and that is to argue that America's "securitization" of oil and its willingness to use military force in order to secure its supplies of oil have been a major mistake. His main argument is that ever since the meeting on the Suez Canal in February 1945 between Ibn Saud, King of Saudi Arabia, and President Roosevelt, that America has supported despotic regimes in the Middle East in exchange for guarantees of oil supply, and that this is a deal, which undermines American commitment to and support for democracy and freedom. Furthermore, Klare believes that unless American policies change dramatically, there is likely to be an increase in conflict over oil, as countries such as China, which is dependent on imported oil (like the U.S.), attempt to secure their own oil supplies. Oil is a finite resource, which will be in increasingly short supply over the next few years, and production may now be near its "peak." In short, he believes that America must act now to move to a post-oil economy, taking exceptional measures to reduce the use of petroleum by motor vehicles and to introduce alternative fuels. ...

The horror genre is synonymous with images of terror, violence and human carnage; the mere mention of horror movies evokes physical and psychological torture. As remarked by noted author Stephen King “the mythic horror movie…has a dirty job to do. It deliberately appeals to all that is worst in us. It is morbidity unchained, our most base instincts let free, our nastiest fantasies realized.” (King, 786). At manageable intervals, we choose to live these horrific events vicariously through the characters in horror movies and books as a means of safely experiencing the “what if”. The horror genre allows us to explore our fears, be it spiders, vampires, loss of our identity, or death of a loved, under the most fantastic and horrible circumstances conceivable. King also points out that by watching horror movies we “may allow our emotions a free rein . . . or no rein at all.” (King, 784). According to psychiatrist James Schaller, by vicariously “experiencing contrived fears, a person develops a sense of competence over similar types of fears.” (Schaller). Horror films allow the viewer the opportunity to safely examine their fears safely and to the depth and extent they wish to do so. Texas Chainsaw Massacre 2 provides the opportunity for the viewer to consider a diverse range of fears, with a little humor thrown in for balance, from the safety of a darkened room, a comfortable seat and in less than 120 minutes.
