This documentary is great, it really shows you the difference of Orcas in the wild and Orcas in captivity.
There are no documented human deaths by Orcas in the wild, but there are many injuries and deaths realted to those Orcas in captivity.
After watching this documentary, I can't blame them. Being shoved into a small container all day and night, never being able to be with my family, having the only family I have being taken away from me. I would go after whoever did that to me too!
Tilikum is the largest Ocra in captivity, and he is also one of the most dangerous. His story is described in this documentary, leading to the death of one of the best trainers SeaWorld ever had.
Tilikum was a very young male orca when captured, like all captured male orcas, his dorsal fin soon collapsed over on him. He started in a small place like SeaWorld but much smaller, therefore much smaller places to stay. He was crammed into a tiny box with two older females who fought with him a lot. He would come out the next morning with cuts all over his black skin.
When he wouldn't perform a trick the way the other, more trained orcas, did, he would lose out on dinner. So now he's starving. The last time he was seen in this place was the last time a trainer would too. He grabbed the trainer and dragged it to the bottom, drowning the trainer who was supposed to be close to him.
He then went to SeaWorld, SeaWorld didn't release him to do tricks, and not many of the trainers understood why, but apparently the directors at SeaWorld did.
They go through showing mother's being pulled away from their calfs and crying for nights and being angry about their loss.
Orcas are social and much like humans in the way they have different languages around the world. Not every Orca has the same language and thus many in captivity don't get along. I wouldn't get along with someone I couldn't understand either.
One day, the female orca's didn't want to perform correctly, so they brought Tilikum out to perform, and when he performed a trick and ignored the whistle to stop, he was denied a fish. Oh no...
He later dragged the trainer around the pool by her arm, she died.
This lead to OSHA saying it was not safe for SeaWorld trainers to be in the pool with Orcas, and they are no longer able to be in the pool with Orcas.
However, poor Tilikum is still there in a tiny pool not getting any social interacting and only there to breed..
I'm just gonna say, just let him go! Just let him live out the rest of his life in peace instead of being in a jail cell for striking out against those who caused him so much harm

Book: Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone
I had seen the movie years before I read this book. I actually liked doing that, this time around. It gave me a sense of what all the characters looked like and sounded like, although J.K. Roling does a great job at describing the scenes, the characters, the voices.
If you've ever seen the movie, then this book is like a play script for it.
Harry Potter is a young wizard who is being raised by his mother's sister's family. They hateanything magic and therefore they do not treat Harry very well.
When Harry Potter is 11 years old. Hogwarts (a school for witches and wizards) send Harry an acceptance letter, asking him to go. The Dursleys (his mother's sister's family) refuse to let him go, but through a little persuasion of a very large character, Hagrid, they quickly let him go.
When Harry enters the magical world, he is now all of a sudden famous, everyone wants to be his friend, something he is not used to. But he's only famous because he was able to drive off an evil force when he was just a little baby, but did Lord Voldemort really die?
There is a lot of things Harry needs to get used to and he makes friends with Ron and Herminie who help him get through his first year at Hogwarts.
These three get into a lot of trouble, trying to solve the mystery of what is in the forbidden corridor that has a large three headed dog guarding it.
They automatically want to go to accuse a Professor... Professor Snape because of his attitude of hate towards Harry, although everyone says he is like that to everyone. But could it possibly be someone else?
After finding out about the Sorcerer's Stone and it's ability to make someone immortal, the three kids find out that Snape wants the stone to bring back Lord Voldemort.
Snape has to get through all of the traps and enchantments guarding the sorcerer's stone and Fluffy is the first step, how do you get by a three headed dog? Only Hagrid knows that answer.
At the end of the book, the three realize they have got to go through the traps to stop Snape from getting the Sorcerer's Stone. They are reluctant as they have already gotten into tons of trouble this year because of this one thing, mostly caused by Malfoy, a boy in a different house then they who thinks he is better then the three of them.
Regardless, they have to go, they have to stop Snape. After playing a flute to Fluffy, burning through plants, flying through keys, playing chess, drinking potions that could be poison, Harry is able to go through the last door to find not Snape trying to get the Stone from the mirror, but someone no one would think of... Professor Quirrel. But something is different about him, he's no longer acting shy and studdering, and he reveals that Lord Voldemort called him to his side to gain power.
Where is Lord Voldemort? Well wait for Quirrel to take his turban off... yeah that's right the back of his head... Gross!!!
It's alright, Harry's got this. For some reason, Quirrel can't touch Harry, later, Dumbledore tells him it's because of his love that Quirrel couldn't touch Harry.
Through their efforts and success at stopping Voldemort, Harry and his friends win their house the house cup, which is a huge deal.

Documentary: National Geographic: Ultimate Cat
I am a huge big cat fan. Love anything to do with them. They are magnificent creatures and so beautiful, dangerous, but beautiful.
That being said, I didn't really like this documentary about them. The way it was formated, I felt it is all about their dangerous side, although I think their intentions were to show how these dangerous features make them supreme, but I really just didn't like the way it played out, felt too negative.
They went through the different parts of the big cats that make them formidable creatures. They did not really talk much about cheetahs, but leopards, lions, and tigers really.
Their claws
Their jaws
Their muscles
Their skull
Everything about a big cat is what makes them able to do what they do.

Documentary: National Geographic: Lewis and Clark: Great Journey West
I haven't always loved history, at least not when I'm at school. I have liked certain History Professors I had, but a lot of time hearing just doesn't give you the best image. That's why I like a lot of these documentaries.
Everyone in the United States know that Lewis and Clark are the two that went west all the way to the Pacific. It was a dangerous journey at this time and no one in their time expected them to return.
This documentary explains this. It goes through the different parts that Lewis and Clark go through. They start when Lewis and Clark are asked to travel west until they reach the Pacific ocean. They accept the challenge, and it is just that.
Through boat problems; boats running into logs and flipping and all of those dangers. Then problems with bears and sliding off cliffs. It was a challenge to navigate the landscape they were to cross.
If the landscape wasn't hard enough they had to deal with Native Americans too, not all were hostile, but telling these natives that their land no longer belonged to them, didn't exactly create friends.
One Native American tribe helped Lewis and Clark in their journey by giving them a guide and another member, Sacagawea who had a son during their expedition.
Woman or not, Sacagawea helped Lewis and Clark imensely during their journey and this documentary explained that as well.
Through rough turns they finally made it all the way to the Pacific Ocean. Time to head back... Fame and Glory here we come!

Movie: The Hobit: The Desolation of Smaug
I read this book and I really did like the book, but the book I felt was a lot more happier then what Peter Jackson makes the movie. Granted had I not read the book I wouldn't have had anything to complain about. It is a very good movie and recommend it highly, you just have to remember that it's not exactly the book.
It starts off where the first movie left off. The group is just getting off of the Owls and they are still trying to get away from the pack of orcs coming after them. They go to stay at a house, problem is a bear is chasing them into the house, they need to close that door before he gets there. This bear, is actually the friend that keeps them safe and helps them get to their next destination. The forest. Gandalf cannot follow them into the forest.
Gandalf goes off on a mission to find out who this new enemy is that is appearing. He and his other wizard friend, Radagast, go to a tomb where the nine men with the rings (the ones they mention in the Lord of the RIngs) The tombs reveal that they, well aren't there.
Back with the dwarves and Bilbo, they get lost pretty early and when Blibo climbs a tree to see if he can find anything, when he comes back down spiders are out and getting at the dwarves. After being all wrapped up, and then getting out and the spiders are coming at them, elves chime in and kill the spiders and take the dwarves with them back to their kingdom. They don't get Bilbo, however, who uses his ring to get into their locked doors.
Gandalf is now at a very creepy like castle where he tells Radagast to leave and tell the other what they have found out and enters the place alone. He is surrounded by orcs and although he is able to get away from them he comes upon a very dark force that burns his staff and is actually Sauron.
Bilbo gets the dwarves out of their cages by stealing the keys and then brings them to the basement and puts them in empty barrels that are dumped into the rivier. They are soon pursued by orcs and those orcs are then pursued by elves that are actually after dwarves, but refuse to let orcs live in their territory. They get to the end of the river when they meet a barge man that they ask to take them with him. He does at a price. They need a ride and weapons now.
Back in the lake city, Bard doesn't have the weapons that the dwarves want and so they go to the weaponry to get the weapons they want and get caught. Although through a wonderfully formed speech, the dwarves are able to get to the mountain before the last light on Durin's day. A few of the Dwarves have to stay behind. The brothers stay behind because the one is injured, one is to stay with the sick, and the last missed the boat.
At the mountain, they cannot find the key hole and the sun is quickly setting, but then when all hope is lost, the moon rises and there is the key hole, that Bilbo finds.
Now Bilbo is to go into the mountain, face the dragon and find the arkenstone. He puts his ring on, but the dragon, Smaug, can smell him, although he sees the stone he can't seem to get close to it because of the dragon. When he gets back to the group, the dragon comes after all of them. This is the best part of this movie, in my opinon. The special effects used look amazing and they do very well with it. At the end the dragon is flying over laketown, scary.
The movie itself wasn't bad, but as I said before, I don't really think it should be called the hobit, there's too much in it that makes it a Lord of the Rings movie rather than a Hobbit movie.

Movie: The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers
This is the second part to The Lord of the Rings trilogy. This is my favorite of the three movies.
It starts right where it left off, Sam and Frodo are climbing a mountain and looking over the landscape they have left to travel to be able to get the ring to it's destination. And then on the other end, Aragon, Legolas, and Gimli are on the trail of the Orcs that have Mary and Pippin.
In the early part of the movie you meet a new cast. In a castle a old king who looks awful and when they bring in his son who is mortally injured it's as if he has no idea what is happening. The kings right hand tell sthe king to send away those that "oppose" him (aka his army). This army then goes to kill off the orcs, you know, the ones that have Mary and Pippin.
When Aragon, Legolas, and Gimli get surrounded by the Riders of Rohan, they are told that they left none alive. Even still they go to check out the battleground. The evidence they first see isn't good and leads them to believe that the hobits are dead, but then they see tracts of the hobits that lead into the forest. In the forest they find an old friend they didn't expect to ever see again, Gandalf. He is the one that tells them that they have to help Theoden, the sick king.
When they get to the king, the only weapon they enter with is Gandalf's staff, which he claims is his walking stick. After the spell is broken, Theoden is then made aware of the army of orcs is coming for his people. Gandalf leaves to find more help because Theoden refuses to ask for aid. They retreat to Helms Deep which is a fortress that has never been breeched.
Well there's a first for everything. The orcs blow up the wall and end up getting in. There are a lot of deaths and it looks as if the battle is over in the worst way, when Aragon is reminded the sun is rising on the fifth day since Gandalf left... They rid out and down the hill comes Gandalf with the Riders of Rohan. Too bad for the Orcs, better luck next time.
On the Frodo and Sam side, they run into an unlikely friend, Golem. He's the one that had the ring before Bilbo and he had it for hundreds of years. He wants the ring back, but then in the battle against himself Smeagol pushes Golem out and wants to help Frodo get to Mordor.
After being captured by an army, lead by Boromir's brother (you remember, the only one of the fellowship that actually died in the last movie). He wants the ring just as his brother did, to use it to make his land stronger. Coruption is taking over him. After Smeagol is captured after Frodo went to get him to protect him for his own safety, Golem returns. They create a nasty plan to get the ring back and all it takes is leading Sam and Frodo to Mordor as they want.
Faramir lets Frodo and his group go at the end of the movie, he was able to do what his brother was not able to do.
This movie is action from beginning to end. There is no introduction and no wrapping up in this movie, which I really like.

Movie: The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring
I haven't read this book yet, so my opinon of book to movie hasn't been formed. I do like the way Peter Jackson directs his movies.
It starts with a brief overview; there are a bunch of different kind of rings, they went to elves, dwarves, and man. Then one made a ring to rule all others which started a war. The war ended with the death of Sauron but the ring survived and thus so did Sauron's spirit. The ring would corupt those that held it. It was found by a hobit, Bilbo, in "The Hobit" and now in this movie he is reaching his end with his time with the ring and gives it to his nephew like hobit he took in, Frodo. Frodo has a strong heart, and thus the ring doesn't corupt him the way it would men.
Gandalf, finds that this ring is the ring Sauron had and tells Frodo he must get it far away before they find it. Frodo starts his journey with his gardener and good friend, Sam. While they are getting out of the Shire, Mary and Pippin run into them and join them on their way to the Prancing Pony where they are to meet Gandalf.
When they get to the Prancing Pony (after nearly getting killed), Gandalf isn't there, but there is a ranger there, named Aragon, who actually ends up being a friend, not foe. He is able to help keep them safe. While they are trying to get to Rivendale, Frodo gets stabbed and is dying when an elf comes to help them get to her father. Don't worry he survives.
While there, they create a counsel to figure out who will bring the ring to the fires of Mordor (not exactly safe) Frodo takes up the challenge and is accompanied by Gandalf, Aragon, Legolas (an elf) and Gimli (a dwarf), and of course his other hobit friends. There is one other that goes with them, but he is already corupt by the ring and you can tell he's gonna start trouble, Boromir.
They set off on their journey. They have to go through the mines of moria and find it was not going to be a safe passage. After a battle with some orcs, they run into a firey shadowy monster. Gandalf stops the monster from going any farther to catch the fellowship, but in the process falls off the ledge into the darkness.
After the loss of Gandalf, the group gets some help with some elves. And set off again. This is where Boromir is truely corupt, while Frodo is trying to get away as he was told that the ring would destroy them all and he would lose all of his friends to its corruption, Boromir tries to take the ring from him. Boromir comes to his senses after Frodo uses the ring to escape (makes him invisible). Then the real trouble appears. Orcs come swarming in with orders to kill all of them except the halflings (the hobits) Of course no one knows this. Boromir fights the Orcs trying to protect Mary and Pippin who he got along with well and dies after three arrows pierce him (and he fights even then) but before the leader of the orcs can shoot another arrow, Aragon appears and kills him.
Boromir confesses to Aragon that he tried to take the ring from Frodo and dies a little after. It ends with Frodo and Sam getting onto a boat and sailing towards Mordor alone (Frodo wanted to go alone, but Sam (good old Sam is my favorite character) won't let him). The other two hobits were taken by the orcs so Aragon, Legolas, and Gimli set out to save them...
Pretty good movie. There's a lot of introductory stuff in it, which is needed to understand a lot of it. I do warn you, it's a long movie.
