Compelling story

Jessica Chastain

If you lived in the USA after 9/11, the fact that Osama bin Laden was alive was like an open wound. Many Americans felt like there would never be closure to the events at the World Trade Center until he was brought to justice.

The sheer persistence of the CIA and the Justice Department in never giving up even after years of trying to hunt him down and tragedy within their own ranks is a testament to American will, drive and ambition.

Whatever your personal feelings on torture, this film walks the line of being objective and lets the viewer draw their own conclusions.

Very compelling film.

It'll make you cry

This is a religious based movie, but I think anyone would enjoy it. While the religious beliefs of the main characters play an important role in the movie many of the underlying themes stand out drastically. This movie also deals with moving forward after a tragedy, and being aware of ones own privilege. Even though each of the three families live drastically different lives they all had struggles that they had to overcome. Watching each family connect with one another and overcome challenges made this an overall enjoyable movie. This movie also shows that the world is truly a small place, with many of the events being almost unbelievable.

Mirror of misfortune

Oculus- a underrated horror jem that more people should watch.

It is spooky, thrilling, chilling, horrorfying, terrorfying, twisting, suspenseful, and overall a great horror film.

The plot: Haunted by the violent demise of their parents 10 years earlier, adult siblings Kaylie (Karen Gillan) and Tim (Brenton Thwaites) are now struggling to rebuild their relationship. Kaylie suspects that their antique mirror, known as the Lasser Glass, is behind the tragedy. The seemingly harmless reflections contain a malevolent, supernatural force that infects the mind of anyone who gazes into it. As Kaylie gets closer to the truth, the siblings become caught in the mirror's evil spell.

A highly reecordmend horror film.
