Hush

HUSH

Director: Mike Flanagan

Starring/Cast:
Kate Siegel as Maddie
John Gallagher Jr. as Man
Michael Trucco as John
Samantha Sloyan as Sarah

Release date: April 8, 2016 on Netflix

The whole movie is about how Maddie, a deaf-mute writer who lives in an isolated house in a forest, escape from a masked killer. This movie has surprised me because it only has 4 main actors appeared in the entire movie but they still made it like such as an excellent film. And yes, this movie is a horror film with plenty creepy scenes. Thus, there could be never a dull moment in the entire 81 minutes, I was constantly feeling nervous about what was going to happen next. I would rate this movie 9.5 out of 10, I loved every second of it.

Last-minute trip

Last month, I had a last-minute trip to San Francisco for 4 nights. During the trip, I have driven around the bay areas, like San Francisco, San Leandro, Oakland, and San Jose. The weather was nice and chill around 45-degree Fahrenheit. And the main purpose of this trip was to visit my relatives, I was glad meeting my six cousins from 3 different families for the first time. Besides visiting my relatives,  I did a little sightseeing too. Like the followings,

Herman Wouk Is Still Alive


“Herman Wouk Is Still Alive” is a short story written by Stephen King. The story is about the life of two poor women and two rich poets. The two women are in their early 30s and the poet couple are in their 70s, but they have different views of life because of their different environments. The two women are depressed because they are poor and the poet couple are full of hopeful because they are rich. The message of the story is the ability of hope is depending on your idea of lifestyle to determine the economic and social classes.


Rich and poor have great differences in the concept of lifestyle, if poor want to be rich, the poor have to change their mind by using the rich’s thought to guide their actions, they may become a rich. Do not wait for an opportunity or a miracle comes, opportunity and miracle need to make from our hands. So poor and rich is not too far away to each other, just change our mind for making more possible. Therefore, do not blame anyone at first if you are poor or think your life is terrible, try to think about is it your problem first. Moreover, do not feel arrogant if you already rich or having a good life, it is because arrogance always comes before a fall.
