Movie Review: Nerve
Torch Entertainment Guide

"Nerve" is a movie that came out a couple months ago that received much recognition and popularity. Many girls' favorite actor, Dave Franco, stars with actress Emma Roberts.

The main story line goes like this: there is a dare game online, called Nerve, where individuals can either choose to be a watcher or a player. Players are given dares by the watchers, in which they receive prize money if they successfully complete the dares. However, there is one catch. Nerve is a dangerous and risky game that is hidden from the police. The rules are if you snitch, fail or back out from the dare, then you are out. The main character, Vee (Emma Roberts), joins the game and finds herself a game partner, Ian (Dave Franco). The two work together to complete the dares that the watchers give them. Vee becomes obsessed with playing Nerve, but realizes that it is a mistake when she finds herself getting caught up with bank and security issues.

The movie itself is somewhat hectic in a way, but definitely intrigues the audience because of the "action" involved. I personally loved the movie and even went to the theaters to watch it for the second time. I rate this movie a 10/10: the fact that Dave Franco is one of the main characters played a big part in my rating!

Now, there's only one question... are you a watcher or a player?

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.

1. It's easy to be fooled by shiny things.

Tamatoa created a liar filled with shiny things simply for the purpose of tricking fish to enter and become his food. He too experiences a lesson in how easy it is to be tricked by shiny things when Moana distracts him by covering herself in glowing algae so Maui can grab his hook.
