The Lost Boys

Director Joel Schumacher has done marvelous movies like Batman and Robin. This movie was a very interesting, and funny movie. This movie seemed real cheesy to me i knew what was gonna happen before it happened. I did not really find this movie interesting and it was really boring. The movie seemed really pointless and could have been better. So basically all that happened was these two brothers went to stay with their grandpa in San Francisco well the oldest brother followed this girl and got himself involved with some teenage vampires. They pressured him to drink what he thought was alcohol but turned out to really be blood, so he turned into a half breed. So his brother along with two other vampire killers went on a hunt to find the head vampire so that his brother can turn back normaL.

The Renaissance Festival

The Renaissance Festival was ok to me this year there really wasn't nothing new to see. It was a lot of walking and saw new faces and. But besides the food the festival wasn't really spectacular like it was last year i guess i saw everything there was to see.It was good to get out of school for the day though. D-Fly

The Renissaince Festival

Good morning Bloggers yesterday i attend the Renaissance festival in Planters-ville, Texas. This was my third going and it was cool. I didn't see anything new so it was not as fun as my previous years. On the other hand i finally tried alligator... o my god it is so disgusting. It taste nothing like chicken, that was a waste of my four dollars. There turkey legs were good this year i had one on the bus. I had an awkward conversation with the peanut man. So i went up to him and asked to purchase a bag of cinnamon roasted pecans. He responded " Do you want the big sack or the little sack" then he carried on asking do i want them salty or covered in cinnamon. I felt so uncomfortable. So i just threw my money on the counter and took my pecanS.

Psycho review

The movie was very mysterious and had me thinking what would happen next even though the killing seem fake it was still a good movie. Psycho is a movie that was directed by Alfred Hitchcock writing by Joseph Stefano. Was about a women name Marion Crane played by Janet Leigh who stole 40,000 dollar from her boss. And there drove off to a hotel when she came across Norman Bates played by Anthony Perkins who was a strange man from the beginning of the movie that like Marion. Later in the movie we found the strange Norman Bates staring at Marion in the shower.Norman in his mother relationship was bad even though he would lie and say his child hood was great.Norman was able to hold his feelings in about his mom until one day he had enough of his mom and how all her attention was focus to her boyfriend. So he killed his mama and her boyfriend because he felt that he was abandon. Norman began to take in miss moms personality. The physcotic Norman would find women attacked like Marion and then his mothers personality would kick in because she would be jealous. So people thought that it was his mom that had been killing people but it turned out that it was just Norman with an wig on it's really crazy but you got to watch it to understand it more. D-Fly

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.

Buffy the Vampire Slayer "Hush"

Wow i just got done watching the "Hush" episode of Buffy the Vampire Slayer in it was crazy good. The concept of having a day without voices was crazy, seeing the way different people acted was very creative. And then the fairytale gentlemen wow who would of thought that a gentlemen would take hearts out of people and you where screaming in no one could hear you. Then the creepy little girl in the beginning of the show that warned them about everything be for it even happen. Joss Whedon got real creative by having after 5 mins of the show it was silent and then the last 5 mins everyone got there voices back. The Gentlemen needed seven hearts and had their minions do all the dirty work as the gentlemen polity floated and smiled with there metal teeth as they cut the hearts out of peoplE.

Buffy the Vampire Slayer "Hush"

I just got done watching another fantastic episode of Buffy the Vampire Slayer. This episode "Hush" was created to show people that Joss Whedon's episodes where not just good because of the context. I hope this never happens in real life because communication is key in our daily life's and i don't know about you but i wouldn't be able to fall asleep knowing that some weird gentlemen where going around taking out hearts. One would think that since 50 minutes of this episode has no context to it, it would be boring. That is not true for this episode just like every other episode if not better it keeps you engaged. It gets pretty funny when Xander walks in and thinks Spike just ate Anya's blood but because they couldn't talk he over reacted and started beating Spike up. The creators of this series are very talented and should keep up the good worK. By:Breilon A.K.A B-Dub

Buffy the Vampire Slayer "Halloween"

The Buffy the Vampire Slayer Series is flawless. The creator Joss Whedon is a very creative individual this Halloween episode was flawless. The main character Buffy is a very good actress. This episode was interesting it had me glued the whole time. It started when Buffy's principal assigned her and her friends to take some kids out trick or treating. They didn't have any costumes so they went to this new costume store in town. On halloween night the store owner of the costume shop did a spell which made everyone who had bought a costume from his store turn into their costume. This made Buffy venerable because she wasn't herself because the costume she had on was the costume of a princess from previous times. The Liberian went to fight the store owner and made him break the magic globe then everybody went back to normaL.

The Night Of The Living Dead

The opening image was when the brother and sister were driving in the car. The theme was stated when the Johny told Barbra "They are coming to get you Barbra"
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

"Blogs in Plain English"
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.

McMixon and McFoehr Showtime Bloggers Dr. Horrible sing-along Review

I just read McMixon and McFoehr Showtime Bloggers on Dr. Horrible sing-along. I thought they focus more on the love part of Dr. Horrible and not on how Dr. Horrible played by Neil Patrick Harris is a evil villain who is trying to get in Bad House.But as great as his evil scheme are the success of them fall shot to the hands of Nathan Fillion as Captain Hammer who is arch enemy. But over all it was an ok review

Apple Review

The Documentary Welcome to Macintosh written by Robert Baca and Josh Rizzo this movie was really weird I really appreciate the many and wonderful thing apple has done for this world. But watching a documentary about the old apple computers that had many problems is and the many problems. I learned a lot from this movie like the many thing you need in order to make a computer. Even though it was strange to see this old man who was over obsessed with old computer it was still an ok movie. "Good artist copy, Great artist steal", I get the point of this you got to get down and dirty sometimes to become successful but in the real world artist who steal go to jail just ask Lil Kim. But it was very interesting to see how far apple computer have come from nothing to the best computers in the world.

Apple Documentary

The Documentary Welcome to Macintosh written by Robert Baca and Josh Rizzo mixes history, criticism and an unapologetic revelry of all things Apple
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.

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.)

Friday

This is the greatest movie of all time. The director F. Gary Gray had to be paid millions of dollars for this masterpiece. Ice Cube as Craig (who is most known for his rap career as a solo artist and as a member in N.W.A) and Chris Tucker as Smokey(he stated out as a comedian on Def Ram Friday was his first mayor films) these two really made this movie funny. This movie seems to be an everyday movie about surviving life in the hood.Craig and Smokey are two guys in Los Angeles hanging out on their porch on a Friday afternoon, smoking and drinking, a lot can go down between Thursday and SaturdaY.
