Journal #1 Angels and Demons

This is one of the greatest books I've ever read. The plot was interesting right off the bat. But one fact of this story that I find very interesting, is the fact that about 98% of it is actually real. The facts of the story are all actually real, but the story and the characters where created by the author.

" God give me strength to accept those things I cannot change." "Trust me, this is one of those things." These quotes represent the fight between religion and science. There are so many that believe in religion (one being myself) as an answer to there questions in life. How was the Universe created? Why do these things keep happening to me? etc. Then there are the many people that believe there is a logical explantion for everything. The Big Bang theory is a concept of two particles randomly hitting each other with such incredible velocity that the result was the creation of the universe. Now, this theory may sound pretty farfetched but according to Mr. Hogg, the creation of Anti-matter (something from nothing) is actually all true. They've done it. They're starting to actually proove that both God and the Big Bang Theory are real. Both religion and science are the truth. But most won't want to believe that both science and religion can be one. This would bring us to our next problem. There will be almost religious or scientific "terrorists" trying to tear down everyone's beliefs. But overall, this book is amazing and well thought out. The author gets you real deep into the characters and reveals their personalities extremely well.

Review for "21"

The movie "21" was a great movie. It gave us a look at one of the most amazing arts in the known world. You have people that can paint million dollar murals, people that can create award-winning symphonies, and then you have card counting. Card counting is one of those tricks you can't foil. This movie explains how it is used, and how well it can actually work. Another thing they show you, is how bad the consequences can be. Personally, I don't like Lawrence Fishburne, but he seemed to fit this role quite well... he played the role of security at a casino. His character is a bit edgy, and a bit of a cheapskate, but definetely a crucial part in the movie. Jim Sturgess plays a kid living in a family that's not so very wealthy, but he's a genius attending MIT and is trying to obtain a special scholarship that'll pay for his entire tuition at Harvard Medical School. His character is a guy that has a strong head on his shoulders and can usually think for himself.

Overall, I'd give this movie a 9.9 out of 10. I take off that .1 because I'm not crazy about Lawrence Fishbourne, especially when he plays the bad guy. :p
