There is a refrain in the song "History Has Its Eyes on You" that repeats in the musical Hamilton — "Who lives. Who dies. Who tells your story?"For many stories of the unnamed hundreds of thousands who died as a result of the wars in Sri Lanka, Libya, Syria and other war-torn countries around the globe, their biographer was foreign correspondent Marie Colvin (played admirably by Rosamund Pike). The film details how the real-life journalist was willing to put herself in harms way to tell those stories, and she did not go unscathed personally or physically. She lost her eye while covering hostilities in Sri Lanka. She dodged bullets and bombs, but she was willing to go where no others did. This earned her a one-on-one interview with Muammar Gaddafi during the Arab Spring uprising because he liked her. Gaddafi claimed he liked her even more than former U.S. Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice who was a strong woman with "African blood" in her veins. The film is brutal, very graphic and earns every inch of its R rating, but "A Private War" is a solid film worthy of the full price of a ticket. View Now

Mr. Steele is working on a level we can't wrap our heads around. View Now

Loose change can be annoying when it piles up, but if you keep collecting it, over time you could be looking at some serious dough. The guys featured had an entire bathtub of coins that totaled about $1,500. So, what did they do with the money? They went on over to the Apple store to buy the new iPhone XS. They probably could have converted those coins into cash first, but no, they had some poor employee sit and count coins for six hours straight. View Now

We see plenty of dog and cat rescues, but sometimes our scaly friends need our help too. Like this cobra in India who got stuck in the stones of a well. A young man from the Wildlife Rescue Society had to repel down and attempt to maneuver the large snake into a small bag. And over on a farm in Paraguay, a planter stopped working, so when they looked in the engine, they found a small snake stuck inside one of the parts. It takes bravery to save a snake, so kudos to these two guys! View Now
When a group of divers (Brian, Edison, Faizel, Haime, Jeannot, Joel, Michel, Richard and Yuri) noticed that a mother humpback whale was swimming by, caught up in a gigantic fishing net, they knew they had to whatever they could to free her. It was a very risky proposition, especially since the whale would drag the team 100-feet at a time during the rescue effort. Still, after nearly two hours, the brave rescue team managed to get the momma whale free from the net.

We also can't decide which of her lines are funnier, from telling her mom matter-of-factly that pugs can't paint because they don't have hands or dressing up the pugs and breaking into song (and many more funny moments).
