to find them. When she 10 spotted something, she went that way. As she approached the object, she took 11 off her night vision goggles. She saw a dead person who had been dead for 2 to 3 12 weeks or so with a big cut on their neck. Lauren screamed her head off because of 13 what was behind the dead body.

When they got back to where they knocked out Jason, he was not there. The 30 four were looking around and all of sudden they heard a branch break. They got 31 scared and were freaking out. Then they heard a chainsaw start up. They knew 32 they were going to die now because no one could see where he was at and they 33 heard more branches
breaking. They knew he was getting closer. All of the sudden 34 the chainsaw stopped and everybody was laughing because they realized Lauren 35 wasn’t dead. Tyler and TJ forgot that April 1st or April Fool’s day was the next day. 36 Lauren was playing a prank on them. 37 It all started out as a normal day in China then it turned into the worst day 38 ever for Tyler and TJ because they thought that Lauren died and then they thought 39 that they were going to die. In the end, it was just a scary April Fool’s joke.

* Duncan, Vinny, and Wayne are all friends working - or wasting time - the summer before senior year in high school. Duncan is the soul, Vinny the brains, and Wayne the muscle. At the end of the previous summer, Duncan tried to save a drowning girl and failed. Not being a hero has really affected his life, particularly his relationship with his girlfriend Kim.

Duncan decides to make amends for his failure last summer by tracking down the owner of the journal by using clues left hidden in the diary. After talking with his friend Vinny, Duncan decides to turn the journal over to the police, but they do not take him seriously, so he decides to get help from Vinny, do some research at the local library, and find out where the killer works and lives so they can prove to the police the diary is for real.

They get into fight there and they both fell on the subway tracks in the station where they get hit by the train. Duncan luckily survives but the serial killer dies.

A hit was put out on Taylor and Zavala by leaders of the Mexican drug cartel because they were becoming a nuisance. This hit was carried out by the same Latino gang members who had previously done a drive-by shooting of a rival gang. The officers were enticed towards their imminent deaths with a car chase which was set up by the Latino gang members. This chase led them towards an apartment complex which was rigged with many gang members and artillery to ensure that neither Taylor nor Zavala would survive. The two were ambushed but decided that gunning their way out was their best option. When the officers made it to an alley they were met by another Latino gang member who fired at Taylor and Zavala, hitting Taylor once in the chest before being shot and killed by Zavala. Zavala went to aid Taylor who appeared to be quickly dying and called out for help. Before police back up arrived the original Latino gang members found Zavala in the...

In Ava DuVernay’s film 13th she analyzes the pioneering events that led up to this toxic system known as the Prison Industrial Complex. She critically examines how the same golden ticket that, supposedly, granted our freedom was the same rabbit hole that kept black Americans in a cycle of slavery. DeVernay illuminates the ideology that if this system of “militarism, racism, and capital” could somehow manage to criminalize black Americans their institutions could continue and perhaps excel. Jordan Camp & Christina Heatherton’s Policing the Planet expounds upon this ideology that allowed those systems of “militarism, racism, and capital” to maintain power. Broken windows policing, “emerges as an ideological and political project,”(2) ideological in the sense of DeVernay’s examination of embedding criminality on the character of the
The first murder that occurs, we do not have the pleasure of viewing, but we know the general gist of the story. Maureen was raped and brutally butchered with a hunting knife and was found in her bedroom, getting blood all over the covers. The next two murders were of Casey Becker and Steve Orth. Steve had his stomach ripped open with a knife and he was strapped to a patio chair with duck tape over his mouth. His intestines had been exposed and there was a pool of blood around the chair. Casey received precisely six phone calls before being gutted, yes WITH a hunting knife, and hung outside in her front lawn from a tree. Principal Himbry, the fourth victim, was stabbed seven times (again with a hunting knife) and hung from the school football goalpost. He was found around the time of Stu's party. The next lucky person was Tatum Riley, Dewey's younger sister and Sidney's best friend (ex). She had her arm sliced by a knife (I'll let you guess what kind) and was found in the garage's kitty door with her head crushed.
The T.V. starts flashing, a red banner with the word ‘urgent’, a woman's voice starts talking. “This is a PSA for the town of Lassellsville and surrounding areas. There is said to be a strange man on a rampage running through the town, he is believed to be infected with a new virus called H1N1, please stay inside for your safety, we will keep you updated as much as possible. Police are on the lookout for Juan Carlos Jr.,” a picture of a Hispanic man with red eyes, dark brown hair, and missing teeth popped up on the t.v. “please if you see this man refrain from contact, he is dangerous, I repeat he is dangerous.” Everyone looked at each other, “oh god” John said. “Lock the doors,” Katherine said. So they locked the doors and kept the news on to keep updated. A few hours past and the fear subsided and so did any buzz they had gotten. The news comes back on and they still hadn't found the guy when all of a sudden the tv went off and so did the lights. It was totally dark. “Friggin Christ, you gotta be kidding me” Jacob uttered. “I got this. the generator is right outside”, Gabriella said and started towards the door, there came a knock. Everyone froze. Terror filled the
Back home, a couple of students from some other school came to Rowan [University] to visit some friends from high school or just party. Two of the people that came were dating and they got in a big fight. They didn’t want to have to sleep together at their friend’s dorm, so the guy went to stay at a local hotel to think things over. In the middle of the night, the girl had this horrible dream that her boyfriend was crying out for help because the owner of the hotel was trying to kill him. The dream was really horrifying so the girl woke up in sweat but then realized it was just a dream and went back to bed. But then she saw another dream where her boyfriend was yelling at her to call the police because he had just been killed by the owner and his body is hidden in white van. So the girl got her friends together and went over to the hotel to see what was going on. She didn’t find him in the room he checked into, so she called the cops, and when they came she pointed out the only van in the parking lot. Sure enough the guy’s body was in there all bloody.
In the first major scene the boys are all in a tree house where the character Vern tells the other three boys about the body.

The boys are all convinced that going to look for the body and possibly finding it would make them all heroes
The American dream in my opinion is that anyone in the United States who is a citizen has equal rights when it comes to success, hard work and dedication to something. Everyone has a dream but it's all about how much hard work and effort you put into that dream that determines the outcome of it. In the film clip Friday night lights the team has the dream of beating the other team and being the best of the best. One team mate has a pep talk with the team he said “they bleed just like we do, they went through two a days just like we did they sweat like we do” but we're going to go on that field. And play our hearts out to the last buzzer stops because this is our dream beating them. This clip is influential because it shows that even if someone is ahead of you in your dream you can
The movie starts with Michael, a police informant, caught in a trap made by a killer the movie’s killer Jigsaw. A video tells him that a helmet full of spikes has been locked around his neck and will close on his head unless he finds the key in time. Michael realizes that the key to the trap is behind his right eye. He finds a scalpel close by, but is too scared to cut his eye out. The timer then runs out, and the trap slams shut and kills Michael. The next scene takes place with the movie’s main character, Detective Eric Matthews arguing with his son Daniel. Matthews is called to a scene of a crime made by Jigsaw. Matthews then notices that a lock on a trap device around the victim's neck has a Wilson Steel logo, which then makes him gather a SWAT team to go to the company's abandoned factory. The factory turns out to be Jigsaw's layer. In the layer, a group T.V monitors show several people trapped in a mysterious house, with Daniel being one of those people. A timer is also there, with two hours left. Jigsaw tells detective Mathews that he will see his son in a "safe, secure state" if he can sit in the room and have a conversation with him long enough. In the house, the people who were kidnapped are trying to figure out how they got there. One person is passed out on the floor and later turns out to be Amanda Young, a character from the first Saw film who escaped a jigsaw trap once before. There are six people in addition to Daniel and Amanda, and none of them knows who the others are. Amanda finds a cassette player and a note falls to the floor. She plays the cassette and they all learn that the door to the house will open in three ho...
