The Possession of Hannah Grace

The Possession of Hannah Grace had the potential of being a scary that had a good plot. The movie is set in a hospital morgue. The main character Megan, played by Shay Mitchell, who many may recognize as Emily from Pretty Little Liars, worked in the morgue after she had left working as a police officer because of a tragic event that she was involved in. During one of her night shifts, a body that had recently been found in an alley is brought into the morgue. The body is covered in gashes. The body belongs to Hannah Grace, a girl who had become possessed and was killed by her father. The movie starts off with the potential of developing a good plot, but as it progressed it became evident that there really wasn't one.

Image result for the possession of hannah graceMegan had little development over the course of the movie and the tragic event that pushed her to work in the morgue seemed to almost be completely forgotten throughout the movie. It is only brought up again at the end of the movie when she is able to shoot a gun which she was unable to do during the tragic event. Hannah Grace had no backstory besides a few clips of her during a failed exorcism. The other characters in the movie are left to the side and are just used as fillers to kill off throughout the movie. Because of the underdevelopment of characters, it became obvious who would be killed off and who would survive. Instead of feeling any emotion when certain characters were killed, it just seemed like filler in the movie. The movie would introduce characters that were important to Megan, such as her ex-boyfriend who she had pushed out after the tragic event and her friend who gets her the job in the morgue, but they weren't developed any further after that.

The movie left much to be desired. The movie was relatively scary with a few jump scares and plenty of suspense, however, the underdeveloped plot led it to become just another movie that anyone might forget in a few weeks.

Miss Representation: Women in Politics

Image
One profession where men largely outnumber women is in politics. It seems that in a world where women outnumber men, that should be the opposite. However, there are many reasons why women are outnumbered. No, it is not because they aren't qualified or that they are worse than their male opponents. It is because of the way the media has portrayed women in leadership roles. In Miss Representation, people expose how degrading media can be on women. It seems largely possible that the media would degrade celebrities but it never crossed my mind that the media would degrade women who are leaders. The women's job is to be professional and to better our country just like the men around them, but the media finds a way to criticize their appearance. The media does not criticize men in politics for their looks. This is part of the reason for the lack of women leadership. Women are portrayed as objects and not as independent thinkers. Because of the way media portrays women for their l

Matthew Boling breaks the 100 meter-dash high school record

Image
Matthew Boling, dubbed White Lightning, first made headlines when he ran a 9.98 second 100 meter. However, this time wasn't official and was later disqualified from the history books because of the tailwind of 4.2 meters per second that the sprinters were running with. The legal wind limit is 2 meters. However, Boling proved skeptics wrong when he ran a 10.13 second 100 meter-dash on Saturday which broke the 100 meter dash high school record. He is currently a senior and will be attending the University of Georgia next year. I think it is incredible that he was able to break the high school record for a second time after his first time was disqualified. I honestly think that it is unfair to disqualify his first time from the records if they allowed for the tailwinds during the race. He couldn't control the weather on the day he was racing. The fact that he was able to still break the record with a legal wind shows that he got the time fairly. He must have been under an extrem

End Game Spoilers?

Image
Just last week, Marvel released one of the most anticipated films that the movie industry has possibly ever had. Endgame  grossed over a billion dollars in just the first week of its release which makes it the highest grossing film of the year. The rush to watch the movie was a result of many things including the fact that it is in my opinion, and in many other opinions, the most major film in the Marvel franchise, which is widely known in the movie industry. Another reason is because of the fear that people will spoil the movie for others. It wasn't uncommon for people to spoil Infinity War even when it had just been released, so people knew ahead of time to watch the movie when it was just released. A large reason for the popularity of the movie was because of the influence of social media as well as the advertising that was used to promote the movie. Marvel already has a lot of momentum in the industry for its comics as well as its movies. They have always had the most popula
