• The plot of interstellar is quite amazing. First the movie starts off on earth, with our main character Cooper (Matthew McConaughey) chasing a government drone with young Murph (Mackenzie Foy), and Coopers son Tom. They hack into the drone and put it in the back of Coopers truck. after this wild Journy Cooper takes Murph to school. He speaks with her teachers who inform him he must stop teaching her about space. They say the moon landing was fake and the U.S. government admitted it was propaganda against the Soviet Union during the Cold War. We learn that Cooper is a brilliant engineer. Later on, we learn that earth is dying because of dust bowls and humans are in a dire situation. Cooper takes Murph to a secret NASA HQ, he learned the cords from looking at dust in Murph's room. He is conceived to go on space mission by brilliant scientist Professor Brand. The goal of this mission is to look at 3 plants that could potentially house humans. Humans need to leave earth because the air is becoming unbreathable. He goes back home and Murph stays, and she hold a grudge against her dad for leaving. Cooper and the 3 other scientists go through a wormhole, which is a tear in space and time, this allows them to travel to these plants faster than they could any other way. The catch is that time moves differently. They go to all 3 plants, and they are not habitable, and they lose some people along the way. In order for scientist Brand (Anne Hathaway) to get out of the black hole, Cooper drops out of the space station in a spaceship so she has less weight and can leave the black hole. Cooper is sent into the 5th dimension and is able to see the past in there. He sends a message to young Murph, which one of the messages was the dust that Cooper used to find the NASA HQ. He also sends present time Murph a message in morse code through his watch, which is the equation to control gravity. This allows Murph to get humans off of earth and onto a space station that they create by Saturn. Cooper then pass out in there and wakes up in a hospital on the space station. He had been gone for 70 years, but he had been gone for only a couple of days. He meets old Murph, and they have an emotional exchange and then he leaves. He steals a spaceship and goes out to look for scientist Bland, who we see is on a habitable planet. 

• My opinion of this movie is very positive. It is a revolutionary movie, and it represents series of events that could happen in our lifetime or our children's. Global warming is changing many things about our world, and it could create new awful disasters for humans and all lifeforms on earth. Space is the next big step in Humanity's survival and evolution. Interstellar represents the unknown and how big space is and what it could offer for humanity.

• The plot of waterboy is quite simple. Bobby Boucher (Adam Sandler) is a boy who was raised by his mother. He lives in rural Louisiana out in the swamps. He is fascinated by water and is a water boy for a college football team. Stereotypical jocks of course pick on Bobby and cause him to release his anger and talk one of them. This is when he is made a football team member. He becomes a star football player and is mother (Kathy Bates) does not know. When she figures out, she is furious and fakes an illness. She eventually wakes up and she takes Bobby and his girlfriend Vicky (Firuza Balk) to the championship football game. He plays for his team and wins the game causing his coach (Henery Winkle) to gain his coaching skills back. The movie ends with Bobby and Vicky living happily ever after.

• This movie is just like any other old Adam Sandler movie. The Characther is always very odd. when you look closer at Adams Sanders character, you'll see that it's almost as if his character is not mentally there. It's almost as if the characters he plays are mentally slow. In Water Boy we see this. A kid who was sheltered his whole life and not taught properly. In the real world this can lead to development issues and in here it seems to of have too. Playing a mentally slow person in the name of comedy is an outdated concept and is frankly disgusting. The plot of this movie is quite bland too. Outcast turned football star is hated then loved by everyone because of a skill that comes from pure anger and rage.
