TRON: Legacy

              2010’s TRON: Legacy brought the technological world of The Grid back to the big screen for the first time since the original TRON back in 1982. Released on December 17th, 2010, the modern adaptation of the story of the journey of a son trying to save his father from the video game world he created stars Jeff Bridges, Garrett Hedlund, and Olivia Wilde and was directed by Joseph Kosinski. A year after it’s release, the film had made over $400 million worldwide and had also won an Oscar for achievement in sound editing, Saturn awards for best music, costume, actor, and special effects. (IMDb)

              TRON: Legacy is a visually stunning film with excellent effects and world creation. For the most part, it’s a CGI film, but, much to this author’s surprise, scenes like Kevin Flynn’s apartment and the End of Line Club were done on a real set. The costumes were created to look futuristic and techy with specially-made light strips to illuminate and perfectly fit the environment they’re in. When it comes down to it though, the soundtrack takes center stage as much as the CGI does. Daft Punk, French electronic music duo, was hired to compose all the music in a style that they’re truly masters in. There are orchestral-style tracks that bring out the emotion behind the scene and then they add just enough “biodigital jazz” to remind you who you’re really listening to when you hear the music. On occasion, Daft Punk goes beyond the cinematic song and delivers a track that not only fits the film but adds some more action to the scene. A perfect example of this is “Derezzed” during the End of Line Club attack. It has a solid beat which adds to the action of the scene and has the techno style of the film amped up just right.

              At first glance, this film seems like it would be kind of odd and not really fit for the general audience due to the video game-like nature of the CGI but it had enough Walt Disney Pictures’ love to allow it to resonate with audiences even when the story isn’t like most films they’re used to. If you come for a good story, this one is easy to follow and rally behind. If you come for awesome uses of CGI, TRON if filled to the brim. If you come for the music, Daft Punk outdid themselves. If you come for all the above, well then, you’ll certainly love it. It’s honestly one of my favorite films for the above reasons and more and I can’t understate my opinion that I think it’s a must-see for any movie fan.

Why Am I Even IN This Class?

I’ll chalk it up to my complete ignorance of what it takes to be a nurse. But honestly, I’ve never had a nurse or a doctor for that matter sit me down as a patient and explain the anatomy of a cell or a nerve fiber. I’ve never had to have information pamphlets given to me that explain the process of a muscle contracting. I don’t think it’s vital information for what I’m trying to do career wise. But again... Chalking it up to my ignorance.

Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl

              Walt Disney Pictures’ Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl defied expectations for a film based in part off a theme park ride. Released on July 9th, 2003, this adaptation stars Johnny Depp, Geoffrey Rush, Orlando Bloom, and Kiera Knightley and was directed by Gore Verbinski. The film was nominated for more than a handful of awards, including wins in categories like visual effects, sound mixing, lead actor, and makeup and made over $305 million almost a year after its initial release. (IMDb)

              The film follows Will Turner, a local blacksmith, who teams up with the down-on-his-luck pirate “Captain” Jack Sparrow as they try to rescue the governor’s daughter, Elizabeth Swan, from Jack’s old crew mate, Captain Barbosa. The movie is very well done in every sense of the word when it comes to film: the sets are perfect, the characters are likable, the effects are astounding (mostly done practically as well), and the story is well-established and has a great backstory. Sparrow’s story is explained to Will (as well as the audience) in the middle of the film but only after you can fully understand it does it become even more well done.

              In short, Sparrow was the captain of the Black Pearl, an infamous pirate ship known throughout the Caribbean, and, in reaction to Jack not being willing to fully and equally share the earnings of their plunder, is marooned on an island. His old crew mate, Barbosa, established the mutiny and took over, leaving Jack to go [minorly] “mad with the hate” with a desire to kill the man who left him for dead with a one-shot pistol. Jack becomes a legend for his triumphant escape and manages to finally get his revenge by the end of the film. Upon first viewing, the film is great, but if you truly know Sparrow’s backstory, you really relate to him and he becomes less of a random and drunk pirate and more of someone who manages to take back what was once his and his future. It adds more meaning to the very end of the film, where he finally takes the helm of the Pearl. “Now, bring me that horizon,” he says.

              The first Pirates film was not only much better than anyone could have anticipated, but it paved the way to more films with even more impressive use of effects (both practical and CGI) and storytelling. Without the initial faith that the first film would do well, the world wouldn’t have been able to see the ever-impressive and fully-CGI Davy Jones in all his tentacle-faced glory. Without the initial faith, one of my favorite franchises of films would have never been made and I’m excited to see where they take us next. (As of the posting of this entry, Pirates of the Caribbean 6 is an upcoming, untitled, and unannounced movie that was discovered on the Walt Disney Pictures IMDb page.)

               “Drink up me 'earties. Yo ho!” -Jack Sparrow (final shot)

SUNY Broome Community College will be offering two new courses at Whitney Point High School for the spring 2015 semester. They are College Writing I and US History II. Registration is open now. This initiative started almost a year ago when SUNY Broome President Kevin Drumm and I ran into each other for the first time ever. I approached him out of the blue, introduced myself and asked him, "How can we get a satellite campus in Whitney Point?" His response? "Find me a room." We reached an agreement with Whitney Point High School a few months later and the first two courses are being held as part of the fall 2014 semester as we speak. Now we have the chance to continue this program and to help it keep expanding by taking advantage of the courses being offered in the spring 2015 semester. I am extremely proud to be part of this initiative and truly want to see it succeed. Help me spread the word that BCC is offering night classes right here in Whitney Point and let's see how many new students we can draft. Thank you all for being part of this community and let's keep driving it forward. There are no limits.
