The Lord of the Rings (J.R.R. Tolkien) "Sauron! To quote Saruman: "His gaze pierces cloud, shadow, earth, and flesh. You know of what I speak, Gandalf: a great Eye, lidless, wreathed in flame." Unlike in the movies, it's not made clear that Sauron is simply embodied as one big eye, but the Eye does manifest as described at least in the Mirror of Galadriel, and about the only thing seen of Sauron in his tower is his gaze, like an evil searchlight."

Ieia (S. L. Bickley) "The title character is a goddess who has been cursed to inhabit a statue. In a mild twist on this trope, she sees through the eyes of anyone who is looking at the statue. When more than one person (or animal) is looking at her, the views overlap, and when no one is looking at her, she has no senses at all. She is forced to watch her priestess be assaulted and kidnapped, her statue stolen, knowing that she has the power to perform one more miracle -- but then she will die."

High Crimes (2002)

High Crimes could’ve been something had it dug into its story potential. As is, it’s fine as a piece of disposable entertainment… until the conclusion.

Attorney Claire Kubik (Ashley Judd) is shocked when the FBI arrest her husband, Tom (James Caviezel). She’s told his real name is Ronald Chapman and that he’s been hiding ever since he murdered nine unarmed civilizations in El Salvador during a covert military operation in 1988. She’s determined to help the inexperienced lawyer, First Lieutenant Terence Embry (Adam Scott), defend her husband but when the evidence points to a conspiracy at work, she hires embittered former military attorney Charlie Grimes (Morgan Freeman) to assist.

The movie starts on the wrong note by showing Claire winning a new trial for her client: a man accused of rape. They never show you the details of the case but a part of you knows she’s one of these unscrupulous lawyers you hate, the kind that will bully a witness to make the jury question their authenticity. Even with this false step, the movie could’ve worked if it asked the right questions. Let’s say you’re a lawyer and you’re used to representing people you know are bad but can’t be proven villainous in a court of law. What happens when someone you love is accused of a crime? What happens if you suspect they did it? While High Crimes sows uncertainty within the audience (to varying effectiveness), in Claire’s mind, he’s innocent. This makes the film simply about the court case, and nothing else. Not necessarily a flaw but it is a missed opportunity.

As the conspiracy against Tom/Ronald is uncovered, things get more interesting. When the prosecution has counters to every move the defense makes, the evidence is largely circumstantial and even the judge appears to want to get this affair dealt with as quickly as possible, you start to believe there's something fishy going on. It makes you wonder why they have military courts at all except to sweep shady operations gone wrong under the rug. There certainly doesn’t seem to be any desire to get true justice, not from the way things are done here.

The question is not whether the film is emotionally manipulative; it’s whether it will push your buttons in a way that remains fun. For the most part, it is. You want to hear what really happened and it’s satisfying to see Claire gather evidence to piece together the big picture. Ashley Judd and Morgan Freeman are both excellent performers. I’ll even call their characters memorable enough that if the book the film is based on was part of a series, they could’ve done more of these with the two leads teaming up again.

Unfortunately, what works about this legal thriller just narrowly outweighs the bad and when we get to that conclusion, the scale falls down towards the negative. You could cut this movie short by a good 15 minutes and have a much better picture, a tale that leaves you uncertain and with a slight chill down your spine… but nah. Instead, director Carl Franklin makes the answers really clear-cut and easy. It all comes down to a tussle in which someone has to die so the whole thing can be resolved without any ambiguity.

A movie like High Crimes can only end in one of two ways and once you’ve figured this out, the movie could only earn itself so many stars. Once you realize which of these two would be the most shocking, the kind this movie would choose to have a “surprising twist”, you know there's only one possible ending. The highest score High Crimes could earn drops another star. Still, it could’ve been fine. A cycle of new evidence, suspense, and devastating countermove can be fun if it pays off in the end. Unfortunately, High Crimes does not pay off. (Widescreen version On VHS, June 3, 2021)

Some ideas for fan fiction about Uncle Team:

"Wait... Do you love me?*

"Be more polite, please" this is not a threat, but a warning

"You can't do this, you're a kid!" "I'm 36!"

"Do you remember?!" full of tears of happiness

Something happens that makes Donald, out of old habit, jump on Scrooge out of fear. Scrooge won't let him go

"Beautiful..." Scrooge finds Donald in a dress

"Have you thought why Louie can swim in money?"

Donald chose Ludwig (a silly dispute between two uncles)

"You... Did you listen to me?!" Donald also needs to be reprimanded and he did it. Who knew the old miser was listening to him?

Donald is crying because of Scrooge. Featuring Downey and Fergus

Donald is tired and wants to cry

Donald is offended and does not talk to anyone and is silent all the time

Donald is late for work and out of habit kisses all the children. Everyone. Even an adult like Scrooge

Scrooge has a nightmare, fortunately for him, Donald is nearby

"Hey, my nephew thinks you're cute" "Can I get his number?" "Nah, we good" or how Scrooge is a typical dad, and Donald is a typical emo gay

Someone has asked Donald to dance, and while he is enjoying the dance, Scrooge does not take his eyes off them. Literally

"Your favorite color is yellow and green" "Yeah, and your blue" "Actually, pink"

Donald did not notice that he was singing, as well as the fact that Scrooge was killing everyone with a look

"And me?" again, Donald goes to work and kisses all the children goodbye again, but not Scrooge this time

"Hey, what are you looking at!?" On the beach, Donald decided to wear a bra instead of a Hawaiian shirt

During one of the adventures, Donald habitually took Scrooge by the hand so as not to get lost while he looks around

Donald tries puppy eyes

"Stop looking at me like that!" offended and angry scrooge

"Oops, sorry, it's not for you" "Wait- WHO IS THIS PHOTO FOR?!!"

Donald just wanted to see his dress while he and Scrooge were shopping

"I don't have the strength anymore..." *kiss* Or how Donald knows how to 'charge' Scrooge

"No." "But-" "You're too old to take me in your arms, Uncle!" Or Scrooge shows that even his century-old age does not change his physical strength

"I'm fine" "No"

"Give me a piece!" "No! Get out of the kitchen!" "This is my kitchen!" "I don't give a-!"

Donald laughs, Scrooge doesn't calm down

Donald swears and that's why Scrooge needs to spank him

With age, many things stop being bitter and nasty, like coffee and cigarettes. Scrooge would rather go bankrupt on milk and candy than let it continue

"I'm doing this because I feel sorry for Mrs. Bickley and I want to help her. AND STOP SMILING LIKE THAT" Scrooge finds Donald in his garden

Donald starts skipping meals due to being overweight and spends more time looking for work. Scrooge just wants to say that it's much nicer to squeeze

Everyone knew who Scrooge's favorite was among children, but no one knew Donald's favorite among adults. Donald is confused and now we get a LOT more affection

Donald wants a gentleman and now the boys regularly get kisses. Scrooge wants one too

Donald has a lot of notebooks with his songs, but only two have survived: empty and about Scrooge

Donald teases Scrooge that he will leave (to Glomdolnd or his boyfriends) and has gone too far

"Only for a while!" Donald's boat exploded during another invasion of his uncle's enemies on the mansion and now he is moving P. s. The boat cannot be restored

"You can't go on a date!" "Because I said so!" "Well, I'm sorry, Dad, but I'm going!"

Scrooge needs to go to an official party, but this dress is the only one that can fit him. "This dress is too revealing!"

The children decided to arrange a "fashion show" to help Uncle Donald decide which things should be thrown out and which ones should be left. Donald is too embarrassed (yes, he has dresses)

Angry Burrito Donald

The coolest thing is when Donald is already an adult and he becomes even more cute!

I'll write one day. And if not me, then I will pray for every fan fiction on these ideas

Perhaps I will add more is coming

I hope senpai notices me... @galoots

The Watchers (A.M. Shine) "You can't see them. But they can see you.

This forest isn't charted on any map. Every car breaks down at its treeline. Mina's is no different. Left stranded, she is forced into the dark woodland only to find a woman shouting, urging Mina to run to a concrete bunker. As the door slams behind her, the building is besieged by screams.

Mina finds herself in a room with a wall of glass, and an electric light that activates at nightfall, when the Watchers come above ground. These creatures emerge to observe their captive humans and terrible things happen to anyone who doesn't reach the bunker in time.

Afraid and trapped among strangers, Mina is desperate for answers. Who are the Watchers, and why are they keeping the humans imprisoned, keen to watch their every move?"

Burt Lancaster in The Swimmer (Frank Perry, 1968)

Cast: Burt Lancaster, Janet Langford, Janice Rule, Joan Rivers, Tony Bickley, Marge Champion, Kim Hunter, Bill Fiore, Rose Gregorio, Charles Drake, House Jameson, Nancy Cushman, Bernie Hamilton. Screenplay: Eleanor Perry, based on a short story by John Cheever. Cinematography: David L. Quaid. Art direction: Peter Dohanos. Film editing: Sidney Katz, Carl Lerner, Pat Somerset. Music: Marvin Hamlisch.

The Swimmer evokes that common anxiety dream in which you're naked or in your underwear in a familiar place like work or school. The people around you don't seem to notice, but you suspect that they're secretly laughing at you. The dream is produced, of course, by something that you don't want other people to know about you. Ned Merrill (Burt Lancaster) isn't naked, but he's exposed, wearing swim trunks and barefoot, when we first see him walking through the woods. He comes upon a group of his neighbors gathered around their swimming pool. They greet him heartily, commenting on how long it's been since they got together, serving drinks and making small talk. Ned suddenly has an idea: All of his neighbors have pools. Why couldn't he swim his way home, moving from pool to pool until he reaches his destination? The group cheers him on. Ned is an athletic middle-aged man (Lancaster was in his mid-50s when the film was made, but looked perhaps ten years younger), and the day is sunny and warm. But as he continues his pool-hopping, he injures himself slightly and the day gets darker and chillier, and so does the reception of the pool-owners he encounters. We begin to discover that Ned is in financial trouble and that the marriage he initially portrayed as happy has fallen apart. The John Cheever story on which the film is based is often read as a fable about suburban hypocrisy and male anxiety, and the movie supports those and other interpretations. Lancaster is perfect casting, not only because of his physical fitness but also because of the signs of aging that the camera inevitably reveals -- camera angles, for example, sometimes show the thinning of the hair at the crown of his head. But the film version lacks the Everyman quality of Cheever's story, missing some of the shock of recognition by the reader, an inevitability in its translation to a visual medium. It also ran into some trouble with producer Sam Spiegel, who had many scenes recast and reshot, firing director Frank Perry and replacing him with Sydney Pollack. It was not a success at the box office, being a little too oblique for audiences and some critics, but it has gained stature with time.
