Beijing Olympics Opening Ceremony

            I was watching the Opening ceremony Friday night. I first felt the drums were like war but realized that the purpose was to show the countdown and exact beats. I also realized that normal people would not be so exact because the drummers were specially trained professionals to make the countdown at the exact time.  Another aspect that thrilled me was the large LCD screen where it showed Chinese traditions by drawing brilliant sceneries.

            Director Zhang yimou made the Tang dynasty trade boats very special. I realized that the side of the bird’s nest was an LCD display of the sea in that one scene. They made the cauldron lighting with Li Ning rising  to the side of the Bird’s nest where a LCD screen displayed a scroll. Every time Li moves, the scroll moves several spaces faster. It was also very unique how the flame just climbed up to the cauldron.

 

Disney did its best to make a movie, but out of all the Disney movies I seen , this one is terrible. It may have a plot and story , but I wasn't feeling it and I'm not feeling the Rock. It suppose to have high action , drama, but instead they put in a badly acted drama. It has bad humor and everything is bad, except the music. The grand finale music was the best.

As a movie critic, it is easy in most times and hard in others. Rating this movie was not an easy task. I had to look at how well it was suited for kids, adults, and senior citizens. Then I had to look at the special effects, graphics , and movie magic. I also had to look at the characters role, plot, and story line.
C.S. Lewis has created a classic for everybody to watch and read.
Prince Caspian was a movie with high action and breath taking moments. The movie started out with Miraz wanting to kill Caspian the 10th because he wanted his throne and Miraz got a new baby son.
Caspian later found Trufflehunter and the Badger. The Badger took care of him while Trufflehunter and Thumpkin protected their home from Miraz's men.
Then Caspian used Queen Susan's horn to call the four pevensies in England.
Susan , Lucy , Edmund and Peter have another adventure ahead of them.As the story moves on to Caspian and the four pevensies to raid Miraz's castle, Narnans vs. Telars, and Miraz vs Peter. This movie is filled with action and mobility.
The special effects were awsome like at the end when Aslan turned the whole battle around by adding trees to the battle and Bracchus to destroy the Bridge connecting the Fords of Burma and the Stone Table shrine.
At the end Susan and Peter were not allowed back at Narnia because of the Task they accomplished their. The Deep Magic, Aslan, made a doorway to send the Telmars back to their island where they can rule their again.
This movie showed Disney magic and creativity. Watch it soon.
