SEAL Team Six Blew Me Away

by James Owen

Well, I guess Howard Wasdin didn't expect to survive as the lone operative on the bow of a ship carrying men working for Saddam Hussein. Nor did he probably expect to survive as he laid naked on a runway with two bullets in both of his legs, one leg nearly blown off. But that is all in a day's work for a United States Navy SEAL (SEa Air and Land) sniper.

When the United States Navy sends their elite, they send the SEALs. When the SEALs send their elite, they send SEAL Team Six: a top secret tier of the SEAL Teams that specializes in counter-terrorism. This is the story of Howard Wasdin: a SEAL Team Six sniper who lived through the Navy's grueling selection process for the SEALs, managed to get through training to get into SEAL Team Six, and lived through one of the bloodiest battles in U.S. military history. Join him as he takes you on a first person journey through the through the death stricken streets of Mogadishu, Somalia, the barren deserts of Iraq, and in the bay of a helicopter as its blades are sheared off. He recounts the exciting, the terrifying, and the embarrassing parts of his life. But for a SEAL, the only easy day was yesterday.

Green Light for Red Dawn

It was a normal fall weekend in Spokane, Washington.  Then came the Saturday morning unlike any other.  First came the explosions, then the paratroopers.  Only at the last minute did most of the people of Spokane realize what was happening;  the United States was being invaded by North Korea.  The disturbance woke Jed Eckert, a Marine home from Iraq, and his younger brother Matt.  In an effort to follow their Dad’s orders to “go to the cabin,” they hop in Jed’s car, picking up stragglers along the way whilst dodging soldiers.  After a couple of days, their cabin is discovered and they must flee into the wilderness.  For Jed there is only one response: fight back.  Jed trains the ragtag group of young people into a team capable of war-trained resistance.  Meanwhile, Matt waits for the moment he can rescue his girlfriend, Erica.  But his desperation to do so may result in the complete ruin of this unusual group of teen heroes who have come to call themselves the Wolverines.

Frozen: Will Melt Your Heart

~Frozen really heats up this winter season with its heart-warming charm and lovable characters.~

Synopsis

           Sister-princesses Anna and Elsa are the best of friends. But, when Anna is injured by Elsa's magical power to create ice and snow, she has to have her memory of Elsa's powers erased.  In order to protect her beloved sister from her dark secret, Elsa keeps their relationship very cool and distant.  On her coronation day, Anna and Elsa have a fight about Hans, a man Anna just met. Elsa's emotions get the better of her, and her icy powers trap the kingdom of Arendelle in an eternal winter.  Anna, always fearlessly optimistic, sets off on a great journey--teaming up with unrefined mountain man Kristoff and his faithful pet reindeer Sven--to find her sister.  Their journey entails frigid temperatures, a snow monster, magical trolls, a hilarious snowman named Olaf, and, of course, true love.  Together, Anna and Kristoff fight the elements of nature in a race to rescue the kingdom from Elsa, who fears she is now becoming the monster her people believe she is. 

Directors

            Chris Buck and Jennifer Lee.

Stars

            Kristen Bell (Anna), Idina Menzel (Elsa), Jonathan Groff (Kristoff), Josh Gad (Olaf), and Santino Fontana (Hans).

           Frozen, which has been on top of the charts for weeks, has really won us all over.  The love story does not focus on the typical boy-girl relationship, but primarily on the unconditional love of family.  (***SPOILER***) Anna loved her sister so much she sacrificed herself to save Elsa.  It is not your typical princess-meets-prince movie, but rather it is a refreshing story promoting acceptance and the true meaning of love.   Another highlight of the film is its memorable songs.  My personal favorite is Elsa’s solo “Let it Go.”  Elsa sings about how she won’t let anything or anyone stop her again from being her true self. The song is inspiring, and, in my opinion, one of the best Disney songs ever.  Personally speaking, there are really no negative points about this movie, except for the fact that it is geared toward the female population.  All in all this is a fabulous movie.  Disney, you have really outdone yourselves.  This movie provides safe family fun for everyone.  I highly recommend Frozen.  I would give it J J J J J out of J J J J J.

Hi!  I’m Olaf and I like warm hugs!
