You Don't Have To Be Blindfolded To Not See The Hype Surrounding 'Bird Box'

'Bird Box' wasn't that great of a movie and I don't get why so many people liked it.

The movie 'Bird Box' is about how five years after an ominous unseen presence drives most of society to suicide, as a mother and her two children make a desperate bid to reach safety.

I recently watched the movie 'Bird Box' and I didn't really enjoy it. The concept was basically the same as movies such as 'Don't Breathe', 'Hush', and 'The Quiet Place'. In those ways, I didn't really like it because the concept of it has already been used. To explain, in the movies I've listed and 'Bird Box' the story goes how an entity wreaks havoc and a group of persons/family try to get away from it and survive while doing so. The characters basically can only use one of the five senses to survive. Like in the movie 'Hush', the main character is blind, so she can't use her sense of sight, but has to rely on her sense of hearing to escape the killer.

I personally didn't find the plot to be that interesting, though I can agree that one or two scenes I liked. I think the rate at which the characters were killed off was pretty fast, but I can't really complain about something that was written in the book that had to be done. I mainly just didn't like the fact that I've seen what seems like the same concept in other movies.

There definitely are many people who thought this movie was great, but I just don't think so.

The fact also that I saw a news report already that a 'Bird Box' related death occurred. I can't fathom why people would think that it's smart to put a blindfold on and do anything without getting hurt.

If people start getting ridiculous ideas from 'Bird Box' and put blindfolds on and drive or any other stupid ideas then there is going to be an issue in the media and more news reports will start washing in.

In my opinion, just save yourselves the trouble of watching this film and watch something that was pretty good like 'Mary Poppins Returns' or really anything else.

beer on the beach

Summer is hot and humid, and it's almost like summer was made specifically to drink the refreshing, cold, crisp wonderful, delicious, nutritious nectar of the gods. Which is none other than beer; wonderful cold beer. With summer playing peek-a-boo around the corner while we finish up this semester, it's time to discuss the only important part of summer. And if you haven't already guessed, it's beer. There are few things I take more seriously than my beer, in order are: sports... and beer. Here are my favorite summer brews:

Bruce Springsteen's Top 7 Lyrics

Everything Bruce says in his classic rock songs.

Anyone who was born and raised in New Jersey (or anywhere really) knows of Bruce Springsteen, whether or not they like him is a whole other situation. I hope that his hundreds of classic rock songs and famous high energy performances, even in his sixties he can put on better concerts than people half his age, are at least recognizable to people of all ages. Love him or hate him (I identify with the former) you have to admit that some of his songs and interviews have inspirational quotes and lyrics.

New England Summers Are The BEST Summers

Why you should spend your next summer in New England.

Marconi Beach

Three years ago, I chose to attend college in Philadelphia, approximately 360 miles away from my small town in New Hampshire. I have learned many valuable lessons away from home, and have thoroughly enjoyed my time spent in Pennsylvania. One thing that my experience has taught me, however, is that it is absolutely impossible to beat a New England summer.

You cannot beat the beach. Believe it or not (which many people may not), New England has a long and beautiful coastline. Most of my high school summers were spent sitting on the Wall at Hampton Beach, getting sunburnt and eating Acai bowls from The Secret Spot. The Wall was the place to be both during the day and at night. We begin our days there with a KB's bagel and coffee, and end them with pizza and ice cream. It’s not a New England summer without that 4 p.m. text from someone, “Who wants to meet at the Wall tonight?” Nighttime is for Tripoli’s Pizza, the sound of waves, and wishes on shooting stars. Wednesday nights are especially important, as those are the nights that Hampton Beach sets off the weekly firework display.
