We Are The World
This is who we are. This is such an emotional, joyous, roller-coaster celebration of the act of giving to those who most need it. I still get goosebumps watching this video, it is such a powerful expression of not just America, but of the human family at its best.

One idea, sixty world-class artists, ten international venues in ten different countries across six continents, a global audience of 1.9 billion people, 40 percent of the world's population, raised 140 million dollars for one cause, famine relief in Ethiopia. Never have so many done so much for so many needful.

Hey Avatar, someone wants her story back
So you were the highest-selling movie of all time huh? I guess space + 3D = genius. Those fancy glasses of yours made people miss the real crime. Not mining Ubh-310, but taking what isn’t yours. How appropriate that it’s called Pandora.

The Little Girl Who Lives Down The Lane
Interesting 70s movie featuring a teenage Jodie Foster as Rynn Jacobs, the little girl of the movies title. The movie is both a testament to a better time, while being equally charming, romantic, devastating, and disturbing. Unexpected in its motives and topped of by an incredible score by Christian Gaubert.

Inception (Film)
Nolan intricately challenges traditional narrative boundaries. Against dream espionage, the storyline intertwines love, loss, and redemption. Its multi-layered plot, paired with cinematic visuals and an evocative soundtrack, beckons repeated viewings. Far more than just a heist narrative, it's an exploration into human consciousness, perception fragility, and the malleability of memory.
