Independence Day (1996 Film)
Film Appreciation
It was the Summer of 1996, and I was doing an internship in Washington, DC. I joined a group of friends to the movie theater at the Union Station mall to watch the much talked about film, Independence Day.
The sci-fi movie starred rapper-turned-actor Will Smith, Bill Pullman, and Jeff Goldblum, and was directed by Roland Emmerich, now widely appreciated for his disaster flicks.
The theater house was packed. There was even a holler of cheers break out from the crowd when the White House saw its destruction from an alien ship. Remind you, this was pre-9/11, and the only thing that was in our minds at the time was Y2K and the death of grunge.
I recently we to watch Independence Day: Resurgence, and in no way does it match the uniqueness and grandness of the original film. Don't get me wrong, it was great watching Bill Pullman, Jeff Goldblum, and Judd Hirsh reprising their roles.

Edvard Grieg - In the Hall of the Mountain King (Peer Gynt)
Music Appreciation
Norwegian composer and pianist Edvard Grieg was born on June 15, 1843. He is considered one of the leading Romantic era composers. One of his recognizable theme is from Peer Gynt, Suite No. 1, Op.46, "In the Hall of the Mountain King." The theme starts slow and soft then speeds up and ends loud.
