Iron Man

2008-09-07T01:50:04Z

As a critic, I need to judge movies to see if it's worth for both adults, children, and adolance. This movie can only be for children and teens because to adults this movie exaggerated the technology too much and only the military can afford all this technology. This also exaggerated how the military atytacked an unidentified object without knowledge. Then there was when Stark went to a press conference and Stark gave the identity away which might lead to poperaziis in real life.

The pros of this movie is that it is fit for the whole family, not too violent, and fit for kids. This movie also shows impressive technology on how they can build in a cave. It shows powerful energy to fuel Iron Man and the heart and the body. It also shows a generator that can power the entire country built by Stark industries. It also shows what terrorists like Usmama Bin Ladin what they can and can't do in the cave. It shows that people in the United States can also illegally sell weapons to terrorist. It also can get Children's imagination going on inside their brain to see what if the world today had that power, imagine the energy , and no fossil fuel nessecary.

So the Pros and Cons are even and people use this movie to relax and enjoy with their popcorn.

Disney's Camp Rock

2008-09-07T01:49:19Z

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.

The Dark Knight starring Heath Ledger and Christopher Bale

2008-09-07T01:47:33Z

This movie is awsome, but gives you the chills sometimes. Especially if you watch it on IMAX because the sound of gun shots and the Joker. Heath Leadger played the Joker very Well. The Joker sometimes can be scary like in the begining when he shot a lot of his men and the bankers. He then tried to make a deal with the mob , but the gang leader says," Whoever can get the Joker dead gets 5 grand." The Joker fakes his death and come back to the gang leader and stick a knife in his mouth. He said, " Do you know why I have so many scars? It's because my father was a drinker and one day he would come back home drunk and my mother would protect herself with a knife. Then my father takes the knife to me, the Joker, and sticks it up to my mouth and says why are you so nervous? Smile and points the knife up in his mouth and then said, "you will always smile now." These are some of the things that make this movie creepy and scary. There is another part where the Joker says to the mob,"I will make this pencil disappear. He lets a mob leader come up and slams his head on the table. It disappeared because he can't see it any more." Some parts are also too bloody like when Harvey Dent was rescued , but half his face is on fire. Half his face got the skin burned off and you could see his bones and jaws and muscele. That was one of many that says this movie should be rated R. The Joker kills many People just to see the Batman's real identity. In a Press Conference, Harvey Dent, the Attorney says well I am the Batman. Bruce Wayne just stands there while a fake Batman gets arrested. These were one of the things that made Bruce's friend Rachael angry. There is romance, action, and crude comedy. The next thing is how the director, Chris Nolan, made the Batman's gadgets look so high tech even though only the military now a days can get that technology. I realized it really cool when he could the track the Joker with Mr. Fox's sonor idea. It was confuing in the end when the Batman said to Commissioner Gordon, "A person dies a hero or lives long enough to see himself a villian. I am a Villian. Get the police, dogs and SWAT team after me." It was confusing because he didn't do anything wrong. He rescued Commissoner Goron's son from the evil Harvey Dent. Harvey was about to kill Commissoner Gordon's son , but the batman knocked Harvey down the building and rescued Gordon's son. Even the commissioner's son said, " But he didn't do anything wrong." Chris Nolan should make the ending better and clearer.

The other creepy part was how the Police unhandcuffed the� Joker and let the Batman deal with� him. The Batman went crazy and slammed the Joker's face into the wall, threw him through the room. That was crazy, but necessary. That was one of the parts where it had a bloody part.

The other creepy part was when the Batman flips over the truck the Joker was in, but the Joker survived. The Batman fell and tripped on a string the Joker set up.�

I thought, " The Joker is like a cat, it has nine lives." �

An Incovient Truth by Al Gore

2008-09-06T03:48:25Z

Al Gore a Harvard law school graduate wrote An Inconvient Truth. Former United States Vice President talks about the crisis global warming. Global Warming is a serious issue.� Recented a Ice berg the size of Manattan just broke off Canadian island. There's only one earth and we have to take care of it.

Albert �Gore put in his book this quote by Mark Twain, " It ain't what you don't know that get you in trouble, it's what you know for sure that just ain't so."

What are Greenhouse gases you ask?

Greenhouse gases are gases in our atmosphere that hold in heat� such as Carbon Dioxide , methane, and nitrous oxide. They maintain a average temperature of 59 degrees ferenheit. Without these gases the Earth's surface tempature would drop to zero degrees.Our modern lifestyle has released too much greenhouse gases which is not good. CO2 accounts for 80% of greenhouse gas emissions. When we burn fossil fuels, coal , natural gas in homes we are releasing CO2 and other greenhouse gases. I don't know if you know that cutting down forests and producing cement releases CO2 as well. In the Northern Hemisphere when it's autumn and winter, the leaves fall thus releases CO2. Then in the Spring and Summer the leaves are back again , so it decreases CO2. In 2005 Mt. Kilmanjaro in Africa was famous for snow covered peaks but now the snow has melted and a giant iceicle used to be a glacier. Al Gore used past pictures of snow covered mountains and National Parks with Updated pictures that are from the 21st Centry. He has found out that snow covered peaks , and� snow mountains, and snowed covered park are now melting. Where do these melted water goes? They go into streams , rivers, lakes, and even oceans. This water increase has caused floods across the world. Some dry� places gets floods while wet places now get droughts. For example the Himalayan mountains in China and Nepal holds most of the world's drinking water 100 times as much ice as the Alps provide more drinking water for 40% of the world's population. If the Himalayan glaciers disappear before the next half century, Al Gore predicted that 2.6 billion of the world's people will face a serious drinking water shortage. Some people may say that the Global Warming is a natural process and point to the Medival warming, but Al Gore in his book showed a graph that proves that is not necessarally true because� in the past 2 to 3 decades we seen�a trementous warming in the world that temperatures risen higher than the medival warm period. The temperatures are still rising higher if we do not�stop the increase of greenhouse gases. The solution�is solar wind, and electric that can power cars. solar power are extremely useful in Arizona, Texas, New Mexico, California, and Nevada because there are extreme heat waves there. Near the equator countries, solar power will also prove useful in provideing alternative energy.�

Hybrid cars uses both electric and gasoline, but it mainly�uses it electricity and doesn't switch to oil until it reaches 40 miles.�Most countries except Austrailia and the United States have signed the�Kyoto �Protcol, but some states have already going beyond Kyoto Protocol's measures like California. Arnold Schwartzenegger has done a great job for his state to be as environment as they can.�

Some countries like the United states and China already have hydrogen fueled�buses�that use hydrogen cells to emit exhaust that is water vapor instead of CO2.�

In some cities they have buildings with green roofs that can support plant life and only filter CO2 from the air. They also provide food , reduce heat from densely populated areas of cities, insulate buildings and they�beautiful says Albert Gore. Wind Power is also another alternative energy source for cities and countries. I know Atlantic City New Jersey has some in the sea�to produce electrcity. "A 100 megawatt wind farm�can power 24,000 homes. You would have to burn 50,000 tons of coal releasing vast amounts�of CO2to provide the same amount of electrcity,"

Al Gore in his 2006 book.�

Al Gore sends a message in his book which is that the world that we live in is in jeopardy and we need to save it.�

Global Warming, greenhouse gas, melting ice, rising sea levels, flooded areas, drought areas, water covered land in the future.�

Take care of this earth because this is all we got. �

2008 Beijing Olympics Opening Ceremony

2008-08-11T03:27:26Z

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.

The Chronicles of Narnia: Prince Caspian (2008)

2008-08-07T19:37:24Z

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.

If the Western region is on the Dalai Lama side then you don't want indepandance for Tibet. The Dalai Lama said that, " Tibet is not looking for independance at an media interview. The tibet has been in our culture for thousands of years and in China there are 3 different kinds of people Han, mongol, and Tibet. We accept them mas part of our culture and they accept us as well because you must distinquish the chinese people and the chinese government. In china family is very important , and during the culture revolution parents would let the kids eat their portion of the meals because at the time of the Culture Revolution everybody was equal, equal pay, equal jobs, and equal living life. Parents in China during the Culture Revolution would protect their kids from the evil and save their portion of the meal for their own children.

BBc and Cnn are liers because just because they hate the chinese government doesn't mean they have to hate the chinese people., The People and government are� two different things. The Western media is Bias and should have strict control about what they say. Long live China , Long live the Middle Kingdom.

Wets Windsor - Plainsboro regional school District Community Middle School

2008-05-30T00:22:31Z

Community Middle school is one of the ten current schools of the WW-p school District. Community Middle school not only is excellent in academics, but sports, music, and community service.

One of the service groups is Project Citizen. Project Citizen is ran by Eileen Chubik -Kwiss. A 53 year old lady that still can lead kids througth a democratic world by having them research on bills and proposing them to to the New Jersey State Legislation to have them be laws. All the topics hve to do with environmental protection. This year the topics are Compact flourascent light bulbs lead by group leader Rohit Tallapragda. He has� done a wonderful job and has led his team to the State event at Bush Campus in Rutgers Univeisity. Rohit is a go getter and will also remain focused because the grass is growing under his feet. That was an compliment given out by his principal Dr. Arthur c. Downs.

Despite the good academic achievements and sports or music achievements, one year at Community , the school faced numerous Bomb threats. That year was 2006 and 2007. The some students in the school district take advantage of this great school district and mess around with local police and school officials. This is not funny and is not kidning either because we all should be respectfult to this wonderful district.

Peace will always win.

Community Middle School in the past also had several deaths. One death in� particular was a student in 7B that died in a car crash years ago. She was a student of Eileen Chubik. Her father made a memorial in the school front yard to commemerate her death so she would not die in vein. Eileen Chubik still remembers her and her death.

Enchanted

2008-05-17T19:04:42Z

Walt Disney has done it again because Disney has connected fairy tales with Reality. It's the first that I have seen ,so keep it up. There are some unsolved questions , but I believe that this movie is at a great start and I can't wait until Wall E.

Connecting Fairy tales with Reality is creative.It connects Disney's older movies with reality. Giselle reminds me of Snow White and Cinderella , but Disney had some new Personal touches to this Disney Princess. The Evil Queen reminds me of snow white m ovie , but this queen was never the princess's true love's step mother.

Then it adds creatativity because they read our minds on what were thinking. They showed how a Princess from a fairy place would react to New York City.

Now Disney can think of more charcaters and better plot lines and stories.
