REVIEW: Winter's Bone: Simple and Spectacular

My Rating: 3.5/5
IMDb rating: 7.5/10


A little bit slow at the beginning, made me lose my patience many times during the first half. But Jennifer Lawrence is the one that totally carries the film on her shoulders in a spectacular fashion. It simply shows her journey through the world where there is lot of poverty but still she takes care of the entire family single handedly. She is tough (not like the kill bill style tough) and makes the aura around her very believable and sympathetic. The script is pure and perfect. The characters are not showy and yet show true emotions and expressions throughout the film
                  
                              This is story of courage and the self belief which the characters carry with themselves.The film is made of utmost purity and simplicity, as there is no background music in the film. I'll recommend this film to all those people who wants to to celebrate courage and the determination of a young girl who is hunting down her father to protect her family and their home. And how on earth does she do it??

Nerd 101 #2: Learn an analysis coding language

If you're looking for a well-paid job in this digital age, below are the top 3 languages that you should master. 1. SQL ( Structured Query Language)  - Basic database language that you must know! Based on the majority of Indeed job descriptions, SQL is the number 1 demanding skill set that most employers are looking for in a candidate. The language is very simple and straightforward! People usually use it to retrieve data from different databases and manipulate the data for further analysis. Some variations of SQL are NoSQL, PostgreSQL,  MySQL and Microsoft SQL. SQL is also similar to other languages in Linux systems such as Pig and Hive, which are commonly used in managing big data ( Apache Hadoop). w3school is a perfect site to start learning about SQL.  2. R - my favorite statistical programming language by far. This language is pretty new compared to SAS but it is becoming very popular. R is open-sourced and it has great community of users onlin...

Nerd 101 #1: Keep your mind active

Lesson 1: Keep your mind active Download any strategy online game - playing these will help you to boost your intelligence and keep your mind active! My favorite games by far are Civilization and Red Alert. However, if you're looking for a free-to-play PC game, League of Legend will be a great start. League of Legend (LoL)  is an Multiplayer online battle arena where you can beat the shit out of the enemy team’s base. Fun way to procrastinate when you have so much work/study. If you are new to League of Legends, there are a variety of easy champions that you can pick up quite easily.

Master Yi  -  the first champion I played. He is is always my favorite and the most reliable choice. His ability Alpha Strike is the best ability if use corectly. Eve...
