The Giver Review

In a community where everything and everyone is free from an extreme measure of fear and worry, Jonas is picked to be "The Receiver of Memories." He meets the The Giver who is to give the memories of the past to him. Once he receives those memories, he wonders as to why things like sleds and snow and colors are nonexistent in their time. The Giver explains that the elders (the people in charge) took them away in order to be "safe." Jonas decides to do something about this. Will he succeed?

Filosopher's Favorites: Hook- Good Form!

Welcome to Filosopher's Favorites. Here I review some of my favorite movies of all time. I'm starting this one off with Hook.

As most of you already know, the brilliant actor and comedian Robin Williams past away this week.

This review is in honor of him. It was very hard choosing a movie he stars in to review this week, but I chose Hook, because this is probably my favorite of all his performances.
