District 9 http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1136608/?ref_=nv_sr_1

If I think about it I would not like to be eating cat food and living in District 9. Turning into a alien looks pretty cool but not worth it. This film was action packet and it was funny at the same time. I thought this movie was going to be a spoof of some sort but then it turned into a good story. When adding the alien and having dialogue with humans it adds more to the movie. This was cool to see because it made you understand that the humans and aliens had a real connection. I liked the cinematography of the movie. I think the alien looked really cool and it was very original alien design. The CGI looked really nice. I also liked how the movie was a documentary spoof.

This documentary is about a chorus that is full of old people. They're about 80 to 90 years old and they love to sing. Many of these senior citizens overcome their health to come performance for their annual concert. This task isn't easy when most of the participants are sick, dying or can't get they're part down. Young at Heart is very famous group they perform in europe and even in a jail. They cover songs by Jimi Hendrix, Coldplay, Sonic Youth and other musicians. The music director has a hard time trying to get the group together because of the depressing deaths. The movie has a good flow. It starts out slow at the beginning but as the movie continues it starts getting better. I like how the duration of the movie span over time, it shows the true character and how they act. When some of the cast pass away it shows a lot. The cinematography of the movie was great, it looked really nice. I liked how the movie showed and expressed the everyday life of the old people. The cast is funny and never failed to entertain me. They were very interesting for their passion of singing and doing an activity even at such a old age. The documentary gets depressing when they start dropping like flies. What I really like about this movie is how the old people encourage each other to become at they're part in their performance. I would give this movie a good score even though it reminded me of a scary

    Where as I normally end up arguing against why a film should be considered a horror film, this time I'm going other way and argue why Lightning Bug is a Horror film. As I stated in Horror, My Definition, a Horror film is a film that used dread and horror, while trying to evoke negative emotions. Lightning Bug does that for me, upon first viewing I wasn't that impressed and disregarded is horror elements. Instead focusing on how its a Coming of Age Drama. But after viewing the film never really settled and has passed through my mind on several occasions and when I reflect on the film it's dark and haunting undertones that remain.…

    The actors, especially Pratt and Howard, do a good job portraying their characters, even if the characters themselves don't feel too realistic (hey, you came to watch a dinosaur movie). The story is especially linear and almost predictable, but that really doesn't stop…

    The first act primarily gave a background on how those townsfolk settled on Oklahoma Territory. It also illustrated Curly’s pursuit of Laurey, and Ado Annie’s love triangle. The second act was the true execution of everybody’s motives. Curly defeats Jud and wins Laurey over and Will Parker finally earns back $50 to take Ado Annie as his wife. I think the rhythm was smooth and cohesive.…

    Chicago the Musical is set in the 1920’s during the jazz hot era with its genre as Burlesque. It is casts by Catherine Zeta Jones as Velma Kelly, Renee Zellweger as Roxie Hart, Richard Gere as Billy Flynn, Queen Latifah as Matron “Mama” Morton and John C. Reilly as Amos Hart (IMDB.com). The first scene, Velma murdered her husband and sister for cheating on her and hid the gun in her drawer while Roxie’s scene, upon learning that her boyfriend will not help her to become a star, she took the gun inside the drawer and shot him. These made me perspicacious about the image of the gun which foreshadows dangerous event.…

    This story starts off with the writer telling a story about how mothers are using their children to get food and money. I like that he started this off like this because he shows how the life of a poor family used to be and in reality still is. He later go on to say that the mom instead of going out to work she rather have her children follow her and beg for money. I like how he goes on to say that if this is how the mom wants to take care of her children then when they grow up some will be theirs while other go and join the Spanish to fight and some maybe will get a job. I do think that he made a good point on that and he does use a little bit of satire so make it so that the reader does understand how serious this is but then they can kind of get a lough out of it.…
