 Back comes complete with equal amounts of bad ass action and levity. Not terribly cerebral, this action-thriller provides audiences with a couple hours of high impact cinematic entertainment at which you can sit back, take your mind off life outside of the auditorium, and enjoy the action that only Tom Cruise can bring to the screen.
The Clint Eastwood-esque action hero is back. After busting a corrupt sheriff’s office in Oklahoma, Reacher (Cruise) finds himself amidst a conspiracy and coverup involving the C.O. (commanding officer) who took over his previous position. Mgr. Susan Turner (Cobie Smulders) is arrested on charges of espionage. Believing strongly that Turner is being setup, Reacher doesn’t hold back in solving the mystery and taking out those who would stand in his way. Crossing paths with the military police himself, Reacher soon finds out that the corruption runs deeper than he first thought. When faced with not only the dilemma of Turner but also the possibility that he may have fathered a child, Reacher must fight two concurrent battles. With mind and body under attack, Reacher stops at nothing to exonerate Turner and provide protection for his possible daughter.
Upon watching this film, I couldn’t help but notice the similarities between Never Go Back and Eastwood’s The Outlaw Josey Wales, by all accounts a masterpiece by the legendary actor and filmmaker. Both stories are about a renegade/loner who acquires a family of sorts. Although the film is very well produced, there is a flaw in that it is apparent that Reacher wants to ‘reach’ further and delve deeper than the superficial plot allows for. Evidence of this is in his dialog that suggests that he wants to be a more dynamic individual who is capable of love and devotion but gets stuck being the action hero all the time because violence is the only thing at which he excels. One of the most prominent themes in the movie is the juxtaposition between high intensity fight scenes and deadpan humorous family drama. By including contrasting elements, the film provides a real opportunity to love the protagonists and hate the antagonists.
Cruise definitely displays some of the best acting of his career in this installment of the Jack Reacher series. He does an excellent job of communicating the difficulty in balancing both the defensive and offensive in terms of protecting his “family” and providing empathetic nurture. I suppose one could infer that the film contains a reimagined “nature vs. nurture” quandary. His reaction to his possible daughter is classic. Throughout the dialog and blocking, it is clear that Reacher is struggling with how to be a dad-like figure but also keep his focus on solving the mystery. Just like any Eastwood-esque story about a loner who has a taste of what being part of a family is like, the movie ends with a fated goodbye scene between his ‘daughter’ Samantha (Danika Yarosh) and himself. But just before it get too heartbreaking, Zwick throws in a pleasant twist.
If you are in the mood for a good old-fashioned military conspiracy action drama, then look no further. Jack Reacher: Never Go Back strikes a fun balance between kung-fu movies and quirky family dramas. Cruise will definitely not disappoint in this film He does what he always does. Provides us with solid action-star acting coupled with some humor along the way.At the University of Virginia in 1996, victims of anti-LGBTQ harassment and bullying and their allies walked the campus and inhabited the classrooms with their mouths emblematically sealed.
For a whole day they were entirely quiet, but their impact has subsequently made a lot of noise in the LGBTQ world.
In essence, The Day of Silence is all LGBTQ members and their allies claiming “This is Sparta,” except rather than shouting at the top of their lungs, they make no noise whatsoever.
This example of noiselessness is to represent and illustrate the damage made to students when they are bullied and harassed.
This tormenting silences the voices of the victims who are being targeted for their sexual orientation or gender expression, sometimes without even meaning to.
The strength in numbers solution of calling a group to a vow of silence draws attention to those victims and the issue.
This annual organized event is not without cause.
Despite progression in the number of schools who participate, the statistics are still at odds.
According to the Gay, Lesbian & Straight Education Network (GLSEN), the organization that puts together the national event each year, two of the top three reasons students are bullied in school are based on their sexual orientation and gender expression (whether true or only perceived to be true).
Worse yet, on average 9 out of 10 LGBTQ students experience persecution at some level of school during their educational career.
The call to action prepared by this event is one of change.
The goals are typically individualized to the location and school, but each Day of Silence event is organized with reason.
These objectives can range from something as simple as calling to attention the issue, to creating administrative change in rules and procedures in schools.
In some cases, The Day of Silence is used to defend and stand up for a particular individual or group who stood up for themselves and had nothing done about it administratively.
Pacific University’s own Rainbow Coalition participated in and invited others to join in The Day of Silence this year on Friday, April 17.
While the whole group cannot be duly spoken for, it is safe to assume that the representation in The Day of Silence provided proof of support for LGBTQ members at our school both openly out and not.
Additionally, the Pacific University subset of The Day of Silence served as a reminder of LGBTQ presence on campus and the issues faced by those lost in the blur of oppression.
As a progressive school, it can be hoped that Pacific University will continue to listen to and meet the needs of minority groups even when they are rendered truly silent.

Just curious to see, out of all the pantheons you have to get through, which bosses ended up posing the most threat, or just ended up being really annoying. I'll start with my experience:


The first boss I really struggled with in Godhome was definitely Oro and Mato. They were a huge step in difficulty from the 9 before them, and I am really god awful at gank fights, so it took me a few attempts to understand the strategies and even complete this pantheon.


I also, embarrassingly enough, struggled a ton with the Brooding Mawlek when I went through with individual bindings. Something about that raised platform and the Trial of the Fool conditioning me to just tank the damage caused several deaths here for me.


 After quite a few deaths I was finally able to sum up the mental energy to follow both the Beast and Tamer at once, but I must've gotten my cheeks clapped like ten times before I got good.


Grey Prince Zote. Jesus christ. This was the first boss where i had to start grinding in the Hall of Gods in order to even have a CHANCE of taking him down. His attacks are so wide in their hit boxes and come surprisingly fast, and some attacks will even purposely aim to the side of you to try and land on where your walking to, AUGH. It took hours of practice before I felt ready to take
