The Unsolved Mystery of Mary Celeste
The mystery of Mary Celeste remains one of the most fascinating and enduring unsolved mysteries of the sea. The Mary Celeste was an American brigantine that was discovered drifting in the Atlantic Ocean in December 1872. The ship was found to be completely abandoned, with no sign of its crew or any explanation for their disappearance. Theories abound as to what happened to the crew of the Mary Celeste, but to this day, no one knows for certain what happened on that fateful voyage.

Knock at the Cabin
The latest apocalypse-themed movie from director M. Night Shyamalan, Knock at the Cabin, fails to live up to expectations. Despite the rich cinematography from co-cinematographers Jarin Blaschke and Lowell A. Meyer, and the uniformly intense performances from the cast, the story falls flat. The film uses the threat of an impending apocalypse to create a morality study, but it progressively hollows itself out, lacking any real resonance. While the performances are striking, Shyamalan's larger intent doesn't give the film nearly enough depth.

A slight distortion in the reflection caught her eye, and she couldn't shake off the feeling that something was off.

BROKEN MIRROR
As soon as Sarah saw the mirror at the antique shop, she knew she had to have it. It was a large, ornate mirror with an intricately carved frame that seemed to glow in the dimly lit shop. The glass was slightly warped, giving everything a dreamlike quality when reflected in its surface. Sarah was entranced by its beauty and immediately asked the shopkeeper how much it cost.
