'Men in Black: International' Is Well-Intentioned, but Weakened by Uninteresting Characters and Poor Comedy
"I can't wait for this film. I know this movie looks like a big cash-grab, but it looks like an awesome action-packed film with some good comedy and badass moments."

Thoughts on the Book 'Brief Answers to the Big Questions' (Ch. 6)
In terms of this chapter, I do believe that time travel is currently not real, but I think there is still a chance that it might exist one day. I personally do not think we will ever see it actually made and used in our lifetime. Compared to aliens, God, etc… I think time travel is on the bottom of the list of being real. Hawking made the statement that, “In science fiction, space and time warps are commonplace. They are used for rapid journeys around the galaxy or for travel through time.” This statement stood out to me because there are so many movies and shows that use time travel. The most recent I’ve seen are Avengers: Endgame and Supernatural.

Thoughts on the Book 'Brief Answers to the Big Questions' (Ch. 4)
One of the statements Hawking made was, “They offer to behave better or be kinder if only they can get an A-grade for a course or pass their driving test.” This statement stood out to me because I am definitely going to pray to God that I pass my IB exams and get my IB diploma because it is something I want very much; although, I am not sure what I would do as an exchange because I am honestly a pretty good person, but we can all improve.

Eyes Wide Open (Pt. 2)
Everything seemed to be fine, but there was a piece of paper wedged in between some wires. “Cash, we can’t allow Vision to sell these. There is something wrong. The machine seems to be re-writing it’s own code. I wake up and think things, awful things, and I know it’s the box. We have to stop them. –A”

Exploring the Second Insight
The Celestine Prophecy, by James Redfield is a riveting adventure novel that uses the tale of one man's adventure through the virgin forests and ancient ruins of Peru in search of an ancient manuscript, which details an impending mass spiritual awakening on Earth. Not only does this manuscript predict a mass spiritual awakening, but it also lists the sequence in which it will happen at the individual level. The concepts of the insights cannot be grasped until the previous insight is fully understood... and the sequence is essential. Upon learning each Insight, you get a glimpse of a plethora of information that it seems you have suppressed some place deep in your soul, and the resonance of the knowledge comes flowing into you like ancient memories. The mystery of the Universe feels like less of a mystery and the steps forward seem refreshingly clear.

Celebrating Life: the Challenge to Preserve and Sustain a Balanced Ecology
“In the end, we destroyed the heaven that was called earth. The earth had been beautiful until our spirit moved over it and destroyed all things.” These lines came from Bernard Backmann’s work entitled, “Reverse Creation.” It tells us that we humans are the cause why the world fades and is gradually changing. We now sit on the brink of environmental catastrophe and the damages we’ve inflicted upon our precious Earth have become almost irreversible. Inevitably, we as a culture will find a way for its sustainability but at what cost?

Why We Need to Change
Global Warming, we hear so much about it in modern politics and news, how the earth is getting warmer and warmer by the day, how the sea levels are rising, and how animals are dying. But I feel we are still not talking about it enough. The Earth is a gift, but it is not ours to destroy. By destroying it, like we are at this very moment, we are possibly taking away the future lives of billions, even trillions of humans.

Eyes Wide Open (Pt. 3)
“Subject One is Richard Curtis, 54 years of age. Curtis is an unemployed, homeless male from Arkansas.” Simon read off the man’s qualifiers as if he were a lab rat. “Mr. Curtis do you have an affiliations or connections with the Vision company or any of its employees?”
