Psycho directed by Alfred Hitchcock and written by Joseph Stefano and Robert Bloch was a well written movie even though it was shot in black and white it was still interesting. Like when the women went into the Normans house looking for the mom, and that's when we found out that Norman was really the mom. It keep me on the edge of my seat because of the way Hitchcock directed it keep you guessing. This movie was a scary mystery shot in Universal Studio's. Marion Crane played by Janet Leigh was the main character. She was the secretary who stole 40,000 dollars from her employer. She tries to run away but was killed at the Bates motel by Norman Bates played by Anthony Perkins. Come to find out he was a psychopath who killed his mom when he was young. He dressed like his mother and at times convinced himself that his mother was still alive. When he was himself it seemed as if he was a normal person but when the mother side would take over him he would go crazy. At the end of the movie he completely thought like his mother . He was thinking that if he showed them that he was not harmful they would let him gO.

This movie was really good it was created in 1968 George A. Romero John A. Russo and it had a really good story line. It was real strange at first but as the movie went on it was really good.
The Night Of The Living Dead
The set-up happened when they saw the old man walking towards them. The Catalyst was when Barbra brother gets killed by the Gule. The debate was when Barbra and Ben got into an argument about her leaving to save her brother. Break in two happened when Ben and Barbra where talking about what happened to her brother earlier. The B story is when the people from the basement came up and helped Ben patrol the house. fun and Games was when Ben slapped Barbra. The Midpoint happens when the Gules started approaching the house. The Bad Guys Close In when they start try to come in the house. All Get's Lost when everyone starts dying. Dark Knight of The Soul is when Ben was in the basement. Break into three is the black man was the only one left. The Finale was when the black man was killing all the zombies. The closing image was when the brother was trying to kill his sister.
I thought that this movie was very good for the time it was made in. Director George A. Ramero did a very good job. Although their were some parts that he could have fixed like when they were doing the live news during the day and it was night time.

Some Random Online Videos
I just got done watching the you tube video "Blogs in Plain English." This was basically explaining Blogs and the reason for having Blogs. Blogging is simply sharing news about anything. You can blog about taking a poop. I wouldn't read it but hey whatever floats your boat. Blog were made so that you can easily share news. Blogging can be a two way streak between the reader and the blogger.Blogging can connect you to people just like you. Blogging is rapidly growing, since 2003 20million blog sites have been created.
"Back of the Mike"
We just got done watching "Back of the Mike" on http://www.archive.org/details/Backofth1938 and it was real cool to see how people used to create their sound effects for radio shows.It was about a boy watching a western radio show, which was about a western chase scene. And they showed the different and many ways to create sound effects.
"Food Fight"
We just got done cracking up viewing "Food Fight" this is a short film on you tube made by Tourists Pictures. This is a hilarious genius film about a huge food fight. It was between; burgers, pretzels, sushi, sausage, pasta, and french fries and sandwiches. This was very funny i really enjoyed watching this.
"Great Tasting Americano"
This was a very creative stop motion commercial. It seems like the company was trying to reach a younger gaming audience, because they tried to make fun of the game Grand Theft Auto. This was a genius idea. We really enjoyed this video.
"Zombies in Plain English"
"These days you have to watch your back" "Danger is lurking at every corner" We just got done watching Zombies in Plain English, this blog was about identifying a zombie.And the steps you need to take to survive an attack. This movie was very funny, it was really creative and made me aware of how to fight off zombies attacks.

Apple Review
Apple Documentary
I think that the Documentary from apple was very educational but boring. It had some valid points and taught me a few things. I gave me inspiration because even though at first Apple wasn't very successful they keep going until they reached excellence.
Jim Reekes:(Engineer's are retarded. They have some kind of brain damage that allows them to not have social skills so that they could concentrate long enough to write code. But it's a disease. That's why I had to quite. I mean, I'm like an engineer in recovery. I don't want to write code anymore. It just makes you retarded. I mean, get a girlfriend, get a life.)
