6 films and shows that remind you to love Earth
There is no reason not to love Earth. Despite what scientists speculate about Mars or distant "water worlds" discovered by NASA's Kepler probe, this planet is the only game in town if humans want to keep breathing, drinking water and, you know, existing in the near future. But as our entertainment choices frequently point out, we're not always the best caretakers of this big blue marble in space. In honor of Earth Day on Monday here are a few films and television shows that provide food for thought about why we should celebrate our planet every day of the year.
'Terminator 2: Judgment Day'
The opening minutes of 1991's "T2" deliver a jarring scene: Los Angeles in 2029 is nothing but a leveled wasteland of twisted bits of metal and piles of human skulls scattered about. It?s as dark as midnight, dusty, with not a single ray of natural light, not a blade of green grass, not a drop of water, not a tree branch. Earth is nearly devoid of the living, overrun instead by Skynet?s terrifying cyborgs. Kinda makes you appreciate our blue skies, (somewhat) clean air, mountains, rivers, human-run planet and non-murderous machines, doesn?t it? So take a break and get up from your desk. Go outside, suck in some fresh air, bask in the sunshine and be thankful that your TV isn?t a T-1000 intent on crushing your skull in its poly-alloy hands. --?Anna Chan
'Planet of the Apes'
Look, we?re not saying we humans have treated our dear Mother Earth well. But we?re not ready to hand it over to the monkeys yet. Don?t get us wrong: We loved Cornelius and Zira in the original "Planet of the Apes" film series that started in 1968. But the planet wasn?t any better under Ape Law, what with blowing up New York ("YOU MANIACS!") so that the Statue of Liberty was left chest-deep in the sand, and creating a race of mutants who worship the atom bomb. Damn dirty apes! We may not want them ruling our planet, but we puny humans continue to go bananas for ape movies, with the next one, ?Dawn of the Planet of the Apes,? coming in 2014. -- Gael Fashingbauer Cooper?
'Revolution'
The main conceit of "Revolution," for those who haven?t seen the NBC series that first started airing in 2012, is that the power goes out. Not for a night, not for a week, but for always. There?s just no more electricity. In fact, anything that has to remotely be powered up ? cars, planes and the like ? is unable to do so. The net result goes beyond not having a refrigerator, air conditioning and creature comforts. It also means all those digital photos you took of your family are gone forever. Your ability to move from point A to point B? Better hope points A and B are close together. Otherwise your feet will be getting pretty tired. And when everyone?s blaming each other for the sorry state of affairs, leaders are ousted and tempers flare, who can you trust? The show isn?t about saving Earth or being "green." Rather, it illustrates just how thoroughly everything is intertwined on this planet of ours. Take care of it, and be nice to people. -- Courtney Hazlett
'March of the Penguins'
While "March of the Penguins" definitely brought the cute factor, the 2005 documentary also explored some heavy environmental issues. In addition to giving viewers an awe-inspiring glimpse of the natural habitat of the emperor penguins of Antarctica, the Academy Award winning film also showcased the effects that global warming has had on the adorable, noble creatures. Not only is the footage visually stunning, taking viewers under water and across the icy Antarctic terrain, but it taught that animals are much like humans in how they love, interact and live. Plus, who doesn?t like to watch baby penguins run around for 80 minutes? --?Ashley Majeski
'WALL-E'
The title robot in Pixar's animated "WALL-E" is so adorable. With his fixation on movie musicals, it's almost easy to forget that on at least one level, the film is an ecological horror story: WALL-E exists solely to help a garbage-covered (thanks, Buy-n-Large Corp.), human-depopulated Earth clean again so that humans can (in theory) eventually return to live there. The idea that humans can survive the trashing of their own planet is only vaguely comforting. The notion that they've been living in space for hundreds of years and are literally fat lazybones is not precisely a positive comment on human nature. If any movie will inspire you to pick up that piece of trash you absentmindedly tossed aside, it's this one. -- Randee Dawn
'Fringe'
Oxygen is awesome! That is a legit takeaway from the sci-fi thriller, which wrapped up its run early in 2013 and featured antagonists called Observers ?-- created, futuristic humans who pumped carbon dioxide into the atmosphere because current-day Earth's air was too oxygenated for their super-evolved DNA. (They also paved over Central Park -- heresy!) These visitors from the future came from a world saturated with pollution, so be warned: If you want new generations to be able to blow dandelion seeds in the park (instead of struggling for breath in an apocalyptic urban landscape), do what you can to protect our environment. Also, don't create humans without emotions in the first place. -- Dru Moorhouse

Sony announces Jak and Daxter Trilogy coming to PS Vita this June
Despite what the sales figures might imply, the general consensus is that, for the most part, the PlayStation Vita's a neat portable console -- although some still argue Sony could do a little more to give its precious handheld a boost when it comes to available content. And just as it did with the PS3, the Japanese electronics maker has now announced that a remastered collection of Jak and Daxter is headed to the PS Vita as well, which includes Jak and Daxter: The Precursor Legacy, Jak II and Jak 3. The trilogy's said to be debuting on the PlayStation Vita at some point in June of this year for $29.99 in North America, or a corresponding €29.99 for those located across the pond in Europe. Not too bad a price to pay for some nostalgia-filled gaming sessions, eh?

Baseball: Hughes leads Falcons upset of No. 1 Gainesville
FLOWERY BRANCH -- Overshadowed by ranked teams Gainesville, Loganville, and Winder-Barrow, Flowery Branch let it be known Thursday that there is another team to watch out for in the rugged Region 8-AAAAA.
Behind a seven-hit attack against previously unbeaten Michael Gettys, the Falcons knocked off the Class AAAAA top-ranked Red Elephants 5-2 at the Hog Mountain Sports Complex.
The win virtually assured the Falcons (14-9, 9-5 Region 8-AAAAA) of a playoff spot. They led Apalachee by two games before Thursday and the Wildcats still have two games remaining against Gainesville.
Flowery Branch still has an outside chance for third but would need No. 2 Loganville to lose its remaining three games and the Falcons would need to sweep Heritage in their final two games next week.
The loss for the Elephants (20-3, 12-2) snapped their 11-game win streak. The five runs allowed were the second most this season and just the second game of five or more runs allowed by Gainesville pitchers.
The loss also kept them from clinching the region title. Their magic number remains at one with two games left against Apalachee next week.
The victory was a welcome sign for Falcons? coach Scott Meyers after a disappointing 8-0 loss to the Elephants on Wednesday.
?You want momentum at this time of the year so this was a big, big win for us,? Meyers said. ?We had a tough first game with them but tonight I thought we executed perfectly. We wanted to go opposite-field on Gettys and the kids did a great job. And don?t forget about Jonathan (Hughes).?
Hughes limited Gainesville to just six hits, including no multi-hit innings. The Elephants had been on a tear of late with seven home runs in their last three games.
?Jonathan did a great job of changing speeds and keeping them off-balance,? Meyers said. ?One of the best games he?s thrown all year.?
Hughes, who went the distance and struck out three, said he wasn?t intimidated by the potent Elephants attack.
?I just tried to keep the ball low and take away their power,? Hughes said. ?It felt good to get the win. I think this will definitely give us some confidence for the playoffs.?
The Falcons struck first in the bottom of the first when Dylan Gibeau knocked in Hughes, who reached on an error, on a RBI ground out for a 1-0 lead.
While the Flowery Branch offense grabbed the lead, Hughes was busy holding the potent Gainesville lineup in check. He allowed just three hits and stranded five baserunners through the first four innings.
The Falcons then blew the game open with four runs in the third off Gettys, who had not allowed more than one earned run in a game this season. Stephen Skeggs started it with a single and would score on a squeeze bunt by Justin Seabolt.
Gibeau followed with a single and then Seabolt scored on a double by Drew Miles. Gibeau would come home on a sacrifice fly by Andrew Weekley and Miles scored on a single by C.J. Navin for a 5-0 lead.
The Elephants cut the lead to 5-1 in the fifth when Luke Maddox reached on an error and later scored on a single by Skyler Weber.
They weren?t done, however, as they managed to get the tying run to the plate in the seventh.
Sims Griffith and Weber reached on back-to-back, two-out walks and Griffith would score on a single by Caleb Whitenton. But Hughes got Hunter Anglin to fly out to left to end the game.
The Falcons offense had balance as all but one batter had either a hit, an RBI, or scored a run against Gettys, who allowed four earned runs in six innings while fanning four. Seabolt finished with two hits, one RBI, and scored a run and Navin had two hits and one RBI to lead the offense.Gibeau and Miles each had one hit, one RBI, and scored a run while Derek Eder and Skeggs each had one hit for Flowery Branch.
Weber and Luke Moore each had two hits for Gainesville. Griffith and Whitenton had one hit apiece for the Elephants and Weber and Whitenton had one RBI each.
