The Raven

This movie is about Edgar Allen Poe.

I was real excited to see this movie because in my English class last semester, we read a lot of Edgar Allen Poe's, writings. The Raven, which is one of the more famous ones, along with about half of the ones in this movie. Someone has taken his works of fiction, murder and death, and turned them into a real crime. There is so much stuff I wouldn't catch if I were doing a investigation that these brilliant people do catch. Poe was a true artist, and was very intelligent. But this killer copied the stories so closely, and added clues along the way to find his beloved Emily. I also loved all the blood, and how they showed the murders.

I could see this movie at least 3 more times in theaters. I want to see things I didn't see before, now that I know who the killer/admirer is, I can focus on the background. The things you aren't supposed to realize until the end, when the secret is revealed.

See this movie if you have ever heard of Poe, or read anything he has ever written. All students in any English class, and any English teacher.

9/10

I just didn't really see how the ending credit scenes really went with the whole movie.

Safe

There was a TON of action in this movie..maybe a little too much where there's so much going on you cant focus on one thing at a time, but over all there were some great fighting scenes! There was this one scene in the Hotel where Jason uses plates to throw at the bad guys..and that was probably one of my favorites. This movie was made by very smart people, there was a couple of very good/cool transitions, and a great eye for details.

Action movies aren't really my favorite, but this was a pretty good one.
I don't really have much bad things to say about this movie, expect Jason only had his shirt off for about 10 seconds >:(

7/10

The 5 year engagement

Funnier than I thought it would be.
I was disappointed that in the previews the little girl says "I'm Katniss" but in the movie she says "I'm Pocahontas" .. I was waiting for that and that's what I was looking forward to.
There is inappropriate scenes not for children and language. But this is a great movie for young adults and well anyone who isn't a child basically. 
It was about 2 hrs but you didn't feel like you had to get up stretch .. the laughing loosens you up!
Its about a relationship and the sacrifice one must make to let the other one be the best they can be.

Hairspray (Dobson High School Play)

The BEST school play I've ever seen! Bravo!

Link played by the handsome Kyle Johnson. Penny played by the hilarious Brandy Reed. Amber played by the fantastic Whitney Reed. Tracy played by the amazing Cassidy Hilgers. Corny played by the great Ben Stapley. Seaweed played by the groovy Marcus Tipton. Inez played by the cute Kandice Tyler. Wilbur played by the goofy Conner Wanless. Velma played by the talented Alanna Kalbfleisch. And Edna played by the funny Jacob White!

I've never seen a school play thats been this good. The dances were fantastic. The songs were sung perfectly. And there was so much comedy, I was crying because I was laughing so hard. It is def. worth seeing. Great job Mr. Navarro!

Penny, was so funny I had to make myself watch the other amazing people on stage because everything she did was just hilarious! Amber, played by my friend Whitney, was great. I honestly didn't know whitney could sing and when she did..I was blown away. Brennan Dwyer who's Tammy, was so bubbly, and cheesy(In a good way) it just made the room feel brighter. Link was so charming, and soo cute I caught my self saying,"aww, he's so cute" but then I realized I was in a huge room filled with people, and I was probably louder than I hoped I was...and then it got awkward. Edna's fat suit was perfect ;). Its just an another masterpiece created by the students at Dobson High! Great job you guys, you ALL did amazing! I had a TON of friends that made this play what it is today. From the stage manager, all the way down to Amber Von Tussel.

Thank you to the stage crew, and the people behind the scenes that you don't see, for making the people on stage look great! Without you there wouldn't be a play! And that music! PERFECTION! Our band played the music so well,and perfectly they cant go unnoticed. Great set too!
