Everest

"Never Let Go" the movie poster says, even though they all let go. I saw Everest with two other people and they loved it, however all I could think about was why in the world would anyone want to do that? Especially when they have a family; what in the world is so fun about this thing that looks horrible even when shit doesn't hit the fan? My roommate let me know that people don't do it because it's fun, they do it because they have something to prove to themselves, which just led me full circle to think what about this could be so meaningful people would risk their lives to the degree that 1 in 4 people die on Everest. Despite this very logical stream of thoughts, a bunch a people went to summit Mount Everest in 1994 and pretty much all of them die.

I thought I would start this whole thing off with a "review" of my favorite movie. I put review in quotes so you can keep in mind that this is completely biased and not based on any formal education about movies, with the exception of one elective film class for a semester in high school. So no, I'm not going to drop any crazy revelations on your brains or probably even use correct movie terms. What you are about to get (assuming the lack of formal knowledge doesn't completely disinterest you) is the opinion of someone who has immersed herself in every type of movie for the past 20 years. Now, given that you're still with me, let's get into it.
