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?

Writing a paper is never fun and is rarely rewarding. The writer's block, the page requirement, be specific, but don’t summarize, make sure you fixed any grammatical errors, did you even use spellcheck? and analyze, analyze, analyze.

Papers can be a major pain. They take up so much time and effort that by the end of the process you hate yourself and you hate the professor for making life so difficult. Questions of your existence start roaming in your mind. Am I even cut out for college if I can’t write a single paper? Am I even capable of taking care of myself if I lack the energy to open my laptop and start typing?

I can barely remember back when I was the only child. Most would say it’s because it is extremely difficult to remember things as a toddler but I would say it's because I was bored until my sister came along. My mother always says how important the "sister bond" is and with every year that passes I realize how right she is. Instead of writing a novel about all of the wonderful things there are about having a sister I decided to list a few of them instead.

It is the time of our lives that we are beginning to enter the adult world and most of us, if not all of us, have no idea what we are doing. It's like starting a video game, but skipping the tutorial. We're all just running around aimlessly hoping we accidentally do something right that moves us along the right path. Now that graduation has just happened, or is right around the corner for some of us, it's time to start thinking about how we are going to take care of ourselves once we are on our own.
