First let me start this review by saying cinematically Unfriended is in a category by itself. This is not to say its plot is novel but the way the film is presented on screen is actually quite impressive. The entire plot of the film unfolds on the computer screen of the main character Blaire Lily. This gives the viewer a first person view of the events and also makes it seem like the plot hence the haunting is almost happening on a computer screen owned by the viewer. With the visual structure out of the way the plot is a relatively simple one. A cyberbullied girl commits suicide and comes back to life online in order to torment her tormentors. While the film doesn't take a particular stance on the topic of cyberbullying it does seem to take notice of actual events which have transpired due to online abuse and harassment. The characters more or less develop themselves as does their relationship with each other. The film does have elements from notorious American teen thrillers as well as comedies however Unfriended presents these awkward moments in a cold and concise manner. I would definitely recommend this film to a friend mostly because of the first person online viewpoint which to my knowledge has not been done in any movie before. I would also recommend the plot because it is a topic relevant to online chatters and young people today because it makes clear that online actions have consequences.

Unbroken is a very interesting and intellectual film about the trials and tribulations of a WWII veteran. The movie at first is almost an inspirational battle between the hero and himself. As the film progresses this inspiration takes a tremendous turn. The hero as his success amounts begins to show a survival instinct that plays a part in the whole film. The movie in its entirety is a brutal reminder of the reality that this individual despite his talent and bravery was forced to endure. A lot of the scenes were truly heartbreaking in that although his situation and consequences were severe and even at times unfair, he was able to surmount these with an unquenched spirit. Towards the final scenes of the film this reality he created for himself began to pay off. Although he did survive at the end of the movie, despite numerous attempts by his enemy to do otherwise, he brought back a tear jerking tale of oppression and survival despite all odds. Hence the name "Unbroken".
