I play different mini-games (Basic Step, Warrior Pose, Standing Knee, and Torso Twists) on the Wii Fit Plus to get fit.

Camerah (If I Knew Then)
Everything is like the Series Finale (of Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles) except Derek Reese is alive.
Story: Sarah Connor loved Cameron but was never brave enough to try and start a relationship with her. After the full message from the Finale (I'm Sorry, John) is revealed it makes her very sad that she didn't try and start a relationship with Cameron before.

The Green: Remnants 2
Sante Kol, New Mexico was a little hard to find. But Plague and I were finally able to find it. The small neighborhood had a foreboding atmosphere. As Plague was now driving, I was free to worry. Worry that I would get Plague hurt because of my stupidity.
Upon driving up the house's driveway, I put my gun into my hand. Mine was small and not all that powerful. That was okay by me since it meant that if I messed up I wouldn't kill Plague. I got out and turned to see Plague hold his own gun. Much more powerful but also controlled by trained hands.
Nodding to each other we walked quickly to the front door. Though my feet's movements were quick, it felt like time slowed down and sped up at the same time. I wasn't ready for an attack at this time. But the mission had to be obeyed. If not, I would never find out the secrets of Gralg.
When we were a foot away from the door a gun shot was fired. I froze and then I fired my first shot. With that one shot my worries slipped away. Other shots followed and then I felt a hand on my shoulder.
"You were good, Matthias." Plague's voice said and I turned to see a smile on his face. Looking around the room I saw that the people were merely injured and not dead.
"How many of those were mine?" I asked.
"Enough." He said. I didn't know if that was a bad or good thing. "Now help me make sure that they don't die."
The people we 'helped' didn't seem happy about it. The faces I looked at were either scared, angry, or a combination of both. When we were done, we tied them up.
After a minute I was finally able to calm down enough to inspect myself. I couldn't find any wounds on myself.
"Are you okay, Plague?" I asked. I was more worried about him than myself.
"Not a scratch." He replied and smiled at me.
"What do we do now?"
"You stay here, watch over these people, and wait until I return."
"Return?" I asked.
"I need to search the whole house." Plague explained. "Besides, I know what to look for better than you."
"Fine." I said and shrugged.
He put his hand on my shoulder. "Don't worry, you'll get your turn."
I put on a small smile and he left.
A few seconds after Plague left one of the men asked, "What's happening, John?"
My name wasn't John, but that man was speaking to me.

Chronicle (2012)
Title: Chronicle
Director: Josh Trank
Starring: Dane DeHaan, Alex Russell, and Michael B. Jordan
Rated: PG-13
Released: 2012
Personal Rating: 4.5/5
Oscars: N/A
Basic Plot: Three high school friends gain superpowers after making an incredible discovery. Soon, though, they find their lives spinning out of control and their bond tested as they embrace their darker sides.
Compared to Other Found Footage Movies
I am not a big found footage movie sort of person. I tend to not see them that often. The one I can remember the most is The Blair Witch Project which sucked major ass. But that is a rant for another day. So when I found out that it was a found footage movie I was a little nervous. However, the many positive reviews calmed any fears I had. I agree with the reviewers who said that Chronicle is a found footage movie that people who don't like the sub-genre will like.
A New Look at the "Super Hero" Genre
Many super hero movies are about a person getting a super power(s) and then deciding to do good. That is not the case in Chronicle, however. And it works! These are three teenagers and, of course, their minds wouldn't go towards saving the world. Steve is going to be a politician, Matt is just a guy, and Andrew is abused by his father. So each one handles his own powers differently.
The Apex Streetlight
The final fight scene is great. However, there is one part that made me go: WTF?! Earlier in the film Andrew called himself the apex predator (apex predator is at the top of the food chain) and believes he's the strongest of the three. So in the final fight scene there is a point where Andrew crashes into a streetlight and then falls down. He then doesn't move for a minute or so.
Final Thoughts
Near the end of this movie I was squeezing revrezner's hand because I was so into the movie. People who want to see a good super villain movie should see this. You pity Andrew and yet know he is wrong. I fully agreed with Andrew throughout the movie but not the extremes he went to. So what happens at the end made me sad for hours afterwards. This is just my personal theater experience: one guy started saying rude comments during the epilogue so I wasn't able to fully hear what was said then.
