Editor's Note: Two of our writers went to see this movie. After the overview see their opinions below.

Movie Overview:
A teenage boy named Nathan Harper, played by Taylor Lautner, who has had weird dreams as long as he can remember. One day he comes across a photograph on what he and his across-the-street neighbor, Karen, payed by Lily Collins, believes to be is a missing persons website. The photograph was of himself as a boy and this made him wonder who exactly who his real parents are. The woman who raised him as her own son Mara Harper, played by Maria Bello, confirmed to him the harsh reality that her and his believed to be dad, Kevin Harper, Jason Isaacs, were not his real parents.

Shalimar, on Walnut Avenue in Fremont, has a gold standard for desi food which is Indian-esque. The menu seriously saved this place from being one of the craziest places to dine. The food is good but restaurant is very chaotic and filthy.

From wikipedia:
Thelma Terry, née Thelma Combes (September 30, 1901 – May 30, 1966) was an American bandleader and bassist during the 1920s and 1930s. She fronted Thelma Terry and Her Playboys and was the first American woman to lead a notable jazz orchestra as an instrumentalist.

Terry was born in Bangor, Michigan in 1901. Her parents divorced when she was very young and she moved with her mother to Chicago, where the latter was employed as a servant for the wealthy Runner family. When the young woman was given the opportunity to receive musical training with the instrument of her choice, she chose to study the string bass. Her early years were spent on the road performing in Chautauqua assemblies.
