Interstellar Movie Review
            Interstellar produced by Emma Thomas, Christopher Nolan, Lydia Obst, and directed by Christopher Nolan, was released on October 26, 2014. This film is filled with many great actors including Matthew McConaughey. Interstellar is a thrilling sci-fi movie that takes place in a time period where Earth is running out of food and all the land is made up of corn fields. While people on the Earth are struggling to get by a group of scientist predict the future is much worse and sooner or later there will be nothing on the earth to live off of. The main character, McConaughey is sent off on a mission to space to find another planet that can be the home to a new human generation. If you are intrigued by space or science in general I would highly recommend this movie. There are many problems that McConaghey and his team encounter throughout the way and this film is filled with numerous different emotions. The film is nearly 170 minutes however every minute will keep your intention. I enjoyed the excitement and it was really cool to see the possibilities of life outside of Earth.
Movie rating 10/10

Enron: The Smartest Guys in the Room Movie Review

The movie Enron: The Smartest guys in the Room, available on Netflix, is a fascinating documentary based on the rise and fall of Enron, once one of the largest companies in America that fell from grace amid corruption accusations that proved true. It focuses on the main players in the business: Jeff Skilling, Andy Fastau, and Ken Lay. These people are profiled, and the culture of greed and deception is well versed throughout the film. a very interesting and vivid picture of how money can ruin lives, and ultimately huge corporations.
