    Iron Man
    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
    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
    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
    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.
