What if New York got wrecked by a TSUNAMI?

Hey guys, what's going on? Today, your favourite guys, here at The Popcorner, bring you another kind/attempt of a film review!

Before you start wondering what's the movie that we are going to be speaking of, we would like to tell you what our theme was: WAVES!

Yeah, there are a lot of things we could do about waves, such as talking about the waves of globalization, the waves of industrialization, or even the waves of zombies (which would be a terrible excuse to talk about World War Z), but we decided to go to its literal meaning (We know, right? Awful idea! Smells like a bad mark coming...), so we decided to write you about a movie that is actually related to waves.

No, it isn't Happy Feet or Surf's Up (even though the baby penguins are cute as hell!), because the main characters are horrible and both of us hate both of the movies... And it isn't either about The Life of Pi, 'cause, even though it is a good movie, we couldn't write a whole post about a guy in a boat (sorry for the discrimination against you, zebra, koala and Mr. Tiger! And we are also sorry for making you, the reader, watch it all again to find a koala!)... So...

We decided to write about The Day After Tomorrow, a movie in which NYC gets wrecked by a huge TSUNAMI* (yeah, we know that a Tsunami is already huge, otherwise it would only be a big wave, but we decided to give it some emphasis!)!

In the beginning of the movie Jack Hall, the father of the main character, Sam Hall, is at an expedition in Antarctica with his two partners. Together they find evidences that global warming is changing the climate as we are used to see it! This theory is disapproved by the vice-president of the US, who considers him crazy, although another scientist believes in Jack, and starts to study the exact same subject, and finally concluding that he was right (yeah, after all, Jack isn’t nuts!). When he decides to contact Jack, they discuss their studies and just discover that a new Ice age may be upon them.

At the same time, violent storms all around the world are causing a massive destruction, with tornados and super-hurricanes (yes, it looks like Speedy Gonzalez has been running in circles all over Earth!), with temperatures so close that freezes anything it comes in contact with (although that wouldn’t be a problem for us, ‘cause we are hot as hell!). In Manhattan, where Sam (not Frodo’s friend) is, the rain hasn’t stopped for three days, causing floods.

As the storm gets worse a massive giant super huge WAVE (yes, don’t forget this post is about waves…) hits the island of Manhattan, forcing Sam and his friends (yes, it is possible for a son of a scientist to have friends) to take refuge in the New York Public Library, where they just stay ‘till the end of the movie (with a dog!).

As the movie goes by, we start to notice that Sam has a little big crush on his friend, Laura (he just keeps staring at her like a freak!), who is sheltered with him in the library, and in the end we kind of see that she’s also into him (only in movies…).

In the middle of the movie, when NYC is the eye of the storm, Sam and a few group of people are the only ones who stood at the library, saved from the low temperatures. When the eye is upon New York, Sam’s dad gets there, and has to hide, to avoid being frozen. Jack is going to get his son, once when Sam got to the library (in the beginning of the movie) he calls his parents and, as a heroic father, Jack promises Sam that he would get him (so, our guy, Jack not only isn’t crazy, as he is also an hero! Keep surprising us, Jack!).

SPOILER ALERT (STOP READING THIS IF YOU HAVEN’T HAD THE CHANCE TO WATCH THE MOVIE!!!!): After this, a rescue-team goes to rescue them and realizes that there were more survivors, just standing in the roofs of the sky-scrapers, waiting to be saved too. From this experience, the human kind found out that they need to stop polluting the environment and start cooperating with one another to guarantee the world’s sustainability.

So, now we can tell you our opinion: we loved this movie (otherwise we wouldn't choose it) and we hope we never get the chance to experiment this in real life (thanks a lot for creating computer games, God!). In a scale from 0 to 10, we would certainly give this a 8,376543210!

We hope you've enjoyed this post and that you keep following us, and please feel free to tells us what you would do if such an harmful catastrophe destroyed your town (we are sorry if you ever experiencied this!)

*we are not talking about the track of DVBBS and Borgeous, you EDM lovers! (For those who didn't understand this: "EDM" = Electronic Dance Music; and "DVBBS & Borgeous - Tsunami" = http://youtu.be/I41CX0RdmPQ )

Text that does actually have nothing to do with our blog.

Hey guys, how are you, nice? Good! :D

So, before we start this post that, honestly, has nothing to do with our blog, we want to wish you a Happy New Year and we hope you had nice Christmas Holidays, if you didn't have holidays at all, we are sorry to hear that! And we are also sorry for not writing a lot in the last few weeks, but we got an interruption of our classes, do you really think we would spend it on a blog? We had many more things to do… Such as sleeping, eating, watching TV, stalking you on Facebook (oh, you weren’t supposed to know this…), gaming, gambling (yeah, I almost lost my home for a koala… but he was caught cheating, so never mind...) or even be looking for hours to an empty wall.

Moving on, the last classes of the 1^st term were given to our class, to present group project works about specific and different themes, our, for instance, was MTV and its influence on globalization, and our teacher told us we had to choose one of the assignments presented by our classmates, the one we think it had the best presentation and content, and talk about it in our blog.

We just hated them all (kidding), but we chose the assignment on Dracula, once it was, for us, the best oral presentation. Actually it was presented by five girls (Hey girls, we swear we are not doing this to get your attention!), and that might be an unconscious reason for our choice. At least it wasn’t boring like many others (sorry guys, you can do better next time). We think this was the best one, not only because all the group members knew the entire presentation, all the themes discussed, who says which part, which made them able to succor one another, but also because of the easiness with which they spoke to us, the way they spoke was easily understandable, and they weren’t boring at all in the way they exposed their themes, although sometimes the themes didn’t help, for instance who the hell cares about what’s good and evil about Dracula? At least we don’t… And that’s why we chose MTV.
But nothing is perfect, and so wasn’t their presentation: in fact, sometimes they got really nervous and some members were reading their papers too much (we won’t say any names… it’s a kind of a “you-know-who”, but the difference is that all of them actually have noses and we don’t picture them as “the Dark Ladies”, but if they are we don’t want to find it by ourselves…). Other negative aspect of their presentation was the fact that it wasn’t that well distributed: for instance, Maria was the one who spoke the least of her group… Anyway, we won’t focus on any other negative aspect, once we don’t want to suffer from the anger of the possible Dark Ladies…

Nonetheless, in spite of all of this, it managed to be the best one (we are just saying this because we couldn’t choose our own… but yeah, thank you teacher for not letting us be narcissist, for not letting us show our true essence… L) and we want to congratulate them for their effort: Congratulations, girls! Oh, and don’t forget we are still single…

Now we have to say good bye (this is getting to big for a text about school projects…), so, yeah, Good Bye!!! :D
