I listened to the piece called "Blame" on Radiolab. It's a story about pointing the finger and wether if it is always right to point the finger. The story is told from about 3 different voices; a man, a women, and an older man. They all coincide with each other and are played on top of one another. The story was very unique and had a lot of great sound effects that help carry the sound recording. It might not have been my favorite thing I ever listened to, but it was pretty cool to listen to each and every sound they used to convey the story.

If your'e seeing that this is late, it's because my internet at home is so terribly bad that it took forever to upload the rough cut to Vimeo, again. Please don't take off points!

World War Z is not your typically zombie flick; its about a infectious virus that affects the whole human population. We travel around the world with investigator Gerry Lane in the hopes of finding a anti-body to stop the virus. The film is non-stop action and you just sit there watching with your eyes glued to the screen waiting to find out whats going to happen next. Even though this film has numerous re-shoots and went way over budget, I loved every second of this film. The acting and the directing was spot on. I honestly could not have asked for a better film.

I recently saw the documentary "Blackfish" and I can just say I was absolutely appalled by the whole the thing. The film is about the killer whales that are held captive at our beloved tourist attraction, Seaworld. It takes us on a journey about the history of orca whales and their psychological problems that are associated with them being held captive for such long periods of time. It's main star: the killer-whale Tilikum, who has had numerous incidents in the past with killing trainers in the most horrifying ways. Most recently was in 2010 with Dawn Brancheau in which she was drowned and dismembered. This same whale still remains at Seaworld and even still performs shows. Something needs to be done about this. We need to stop breeding and keeping killer-whales in captivity because they are dangerous mammals and it is apparent that they are dangerous. They may not attack the trainers every time they are in the water but there are those rare days when the whale will become frustrated and will snap. Leading them to attack their trainers. The whole SeaWorld shamble is just one big business where they portray this animals to be fluffy-little-creatures but in reality--they are giant, 6-ton mammals, living inside of the equivalent of a bathtub.
