Best of Robin Williams

In my opinion, one of the best actors of all time is Robin Williams. Though he is mostly known for his work in comedy, he has had some other dramatic roles. He is also a well known stand up comic. His stand-up routine is very vulgar, but yet extremely hilarious. No matter where Robin is, if there is a camera around, he will be goofy. Here are my top 15 roles of Robin Williams.

1. Peter Panning (Hook, 1991)

2. Merritt Rook (Law & Order: SVU, 2008)

3. Daniel Hillard (Mrs. Doubtfire, 1993)

4. Genie (Aladdin (and sequels), 1992)

5. Leslie Zevo (Toys, 1992)

6. Popeye (Popeye, 1980)

7. Fender (Robots, 2005)

8. Jack Powell (Jack, 1996)

9. Patch Adams (Patch Adams, 1998)

10. Professor Philip Brainard (Flubber, 1997)

11. Mork (Mork & Mindy, 1978 - 1982)

12. John Keating (Dead Poets Society, 1989)

13. Andrew Martin (Bicentennial Man, 1999)

14. Teddy Roosevelt (Night at the Museum, 2006)

15. Alan Parrish (Jumanji, 1995)

Life: How it Changes

My life has changed so much over the past three months. I now find myself looking into the mirror and seeing a person I no longer regconize. Before, I saw a person who knew exactly who he wanted to be. A person who was excited about tomorrow. A person who wanted to take the world by the horns and make a name for himself. Today when I look into the mirror, I see a stranger with distant eyes, and a fading smile. I see a person who is not longer comfortable the settings he has been a part of for years.

Near the end of February, I lost my grandmother to complications gain from scleraderma. My grandma has been a huge piece of my life and who I am as a person. I have lived with her for the past 10 years. She was more like a mother to me than a grandmother. Though my emotions wont often show it, I think about her every given moment of the day. Even now, almost two months since she passed. I feel lost at home, even more so in the routines I go through were things she would say were always a part of that routine.

The other big change in my life is that I am now graduated from college. I have been in school since before I can remember. Now once again I am thrust into a setting I am not familiar with, not having to worry about school. I am in a job right now that I use to love, but now find myself dreading to go to daily. I try to think a head about where I could end up here in the next few months to start my career, and all I find myself thinking about is why did I choose the path I just finished.

Changes are expected in life, and I am one who is usually excited about changes, but two big changes happening at the same time has definitely caught me off guard. To all my friends out there, I pray that you will be patient with me as I adjust to my new life and rediscovering who I am as a person. As I lie awake at night staring into the darkness, mind racing a hundred miles per hour. Or when I look into the mirror the find that person I once knew. I will try my best to be me, and keep my head up.

Chronicle

Chronicle

This is a superhero like movie where three boys gain the use of telekensis, or the ability to move items with their mind. The movie was released on Feb. 3, 2012 and stars relatively unknown actors Dane DeHaan, Alex Russell, and Michael B. Jordan. The movie was shot similar to the Paranormal Activity movies, Blair Witch Project, and Cloverfield. All the footage from the movie appears to come from a personal camcorder, or some other normal recording device such as a cell phone or security camera. A lot was lost in the movie due to the filming strategy. The story line took a while to develop, but the ending made up for the wait. There is a deep psychological meaning behind the story which may be lost with all the action.

The official Jason Howell rating for this movie is
