100 brains go missing at Texas university

At the Texas University of Austin, one hundred brains have disappeared from a collection.
In the collection there was the Charles Whitman’s brain, a murderer who killed 16 people. A tumour was found in his brain after some polices killed him.
The teachers suspected that it is a bad prank of some students.
The university Staff is disheartened and they are going to investigate this incident.
Tim Schallert is a psychology professor and collection's checker. He suspect that somebody has stolen the brains but don’t have any idea who could do something like that.
Those brains were in the university for 30 years. They were from the Austin State Hospital. All the information of the brains was removed.
The brains were in the school’s basement and when the students know this some brains disappear but then return to their places. Lawrence Cormack said that some brains were used for jokes in Halloween.

The Hunger Games: Mockingjay Part 1

This is an action, romantic, dramatic and impressive film. In it a girl called Katniss represents the revolution’s symbol of the district, and she is going to rescue Pete and beat President Snow’s system.

She and some people who want to beat Snow are in the secret district: 13. During the film she is trying to convince the people of the others districts to join and crate a revolution. She sees that Pete is alive in the capitol. They decide to rescue him and begin the revolution, but this way won’t be easy and they’ll find obstacles for reach their objective.


I found this film a little bit boring at some parts, because there aren’t enough action scenes in it. The film only explains the procedure that they must face to begin a revolution. In general I like it because after watch it, you know so many things about the other two films.
