Film: San Andreas Starring: Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson, Carla Gugino, Alexandra Daddario Directed by: Brad Peyton The disaster movie is a sub-genre that works almost solely off of nostalgia.

Blurred: It’s OK Not To Be OK

I don’t know if it’s just me, but I don’t think we are vulnerable enough. Being vulnerable is another type of courage. Perhaps we are too much in love with being invincible.
