The Mistery of

Elisa LamIn february 2013, a 21 years old student from Canada was found death inside the Cecil Hotel's roo�op water tank in Los Angeles. The first piece of evidence that needs to be considered is an elevator surveillance tape that recorded Elisa's behavior only a few moments before she lost her life. The four-minute video posted on YouTube shows Elisa pressing all of the elevator bu�ons and wai�ng for it to move. Seeing that the elevator doors are not closing, starts behaving really weird. At first, Elisa enters the elevator and apparently presses all of its bu�ons. She then waits for something to happen but, for some reason, the elevator door doesn't shut. She starts to look around, as if she is expec�ng or hiding from someone, her arms and hands start moving in a very strange ma�er as she appears to be talking to someone, something or nothing at all. She then walks away. The elevator door then shuts and appears to start working again. Elisa apparently gained access to the roo�op of the hotel, climbed to its water tank and, somehow, ended up drowning in it. Her body was found two weeks a�er her death, a�er hotel guests complained about the water's taste and color.

Most people would conclude that she was under the influence of drugs. However, Elisa did not have a history of drug use and her autopsy concluded that no drugs were involved. The Daily Maverick wrote: ''…Her death was ruled as accidental by drowning. Her drug tests came back nega�ve and there was no evidence of foul play or visible trauma on her body. There were, however, some nagging ques�ons. The first was how on earth Lam got onto the roof. Access to the roof was barricaded throughout (although there was a fire escape) and the en�re roo�op area was protected by an alarm. The water tanks themselves were so difficult to access that workers had to cut the tank open to remove

her body. The lids of the water tanks are so heavy, furthermore, that it is likely impossible one person could have moved them. How, then, did Lam get into the tank and then replace the lid behind her?''. The LA police departament closed the case due to the impossibility of finding a guilty. However that only feeds the controversy and the mistery s�ll promises a lot to talk about.

Top worst movies 5 The smurfs: The Smurfs make their first 3D trip to the big screen in

Columbia Pictures'/Sony Pictures Anima�on's hybrid live-ac�on and animated family comedy, The Smurfs. may be blue, but their movie is decidedly green, recycling discarded bits from other celluloid Happy Meals like Alvin and the Chipmunks, Garfield, and Hop into something half animated, half live ac�on, and all careful studio calcula�on. The blueprint — made bluer, but otherwise hardly altered — has the chipper creatures invading New York City and replacing every third word with smurf, as in ''This smurf gets old fast.'

1"Violet & Daisy" There's nothing worse than a crummy

exploita�on movie with grander pretensions. And there are fewer crummy exploita�on movies that are more preten�ous than "Violet & Daisy," which is seemingly about the two cha�est teenage assassins in the history of B-movies.

2"The Mortal Instruments: City of Bones" "The Mortal

Instruments" was another contender all set to be the next hot YA franchise, with an uber-successful book series of the same name penned by Cassandra Clare filled with all the right elements: a we-want-to-but-we-can't love story to rival "Twilight"; similar fantasy-world-mixed-with-real-world elements of "Harry Po�er" and some poten�ally scin�lla�ng fight scenes—demon fight scenes no less! Unfortunately as is o�en the case with these book-to-film adapta�ons, in an effort to stay true to the source material, it is weighed down by extraneous details and plot minu�ae that may work very well in a 200-odd page novel, but not so well in a 120 min film.

"Jack the Giant Slayer" It was always ge�ng pushed back … Or

renamed … Or post-converted into muddy 3D. And Bryan Singer always had excuses, excuses, excuses. Well, when people finally got a look at the finished film, it was very clear what Singer had been up to—a $200 million adapta�on of the "Jack and the Beanstalk" fairy tale in which everything fun and whimsical had been removed and replaced with unconvincing special effects, tonal unevenness, and a cast that seems somewhere between a Shakespearean theater troupe and a grade-Z renaissance fair (it's actually hard to watch Nicholas Hoult, Ewan McGregor and Ian McShane flail like this)a�est teenage assassins in the history of B-movies.

4"Oldboy" This is the most recent movie to make the list and easily one of

the most awful of the year. For some reason, it was decided that a spineless American remake of a gutsy South Korean original was a good idea. And honestly, when the decision was made to hire Spike Lee to helm the project, our interest, if not skyrocketed, at least rose, and rose again when Lee put together an interes�ng cast, including Josh Brolin, as a character mysteriously imprisoned for 20 years and then just-as-mysteriously released, and Elizabeth Olsen as the woman he befriends on the outside. But watching the movie, it's apparent how wrong Lee's approach was, despite a scene where Samuel L. Jackson almost gets his head torn off.k very well in a 200-odd page novel, but not so well in a 120 min film.
