Assesment #21: STEM Week

SpaceBalls

SpaceBalls is a parody of Star Wars. It was released in 1987 and it is one of my favorite movies. This movie really doesn't have like a moral or a quote that teaches you about something. I just love this movie and it makes me laugh even if i'm going through tough times. This video clip is one of my favorite moments in the film. I recommend this film to everyone who wants to get a good laugh.

The Breakfast Club

The personality trait that impacted me the most is the one from the weird girl(I don't remember her name and I don't recognize the photos in IMDB)because she was always like quiet and in her own world. The most believable character was the nerd(Don't remember his name either). I compare myself with the weird girl because I am sometimes like in my own world. I agree that the essay that they left at the end did sum up their lives


Message to Ms. Molina:

 I know I talk a lot in class, but even if you don't believe it(i know you believe it but im gonna write it anyway) I am in my own world and I'm not that social.

Star wars

I have seen every single Star wars episode. I would recommend the episodes 4-5-6-7 to my friends. These movies are popular because the time the first one was made was at the time that science fiction started being popular. The elements that this movie has are that it had a good story, a lot of action and that it is really futuristic

Inkheart

I think that holding a real book is good because movies dont add a lot of stuff that there is in a book. I think that you go in the world of the characters when you read a book because since you dont know what the character looks like that you imagine yourself in the book. When I read "Percy Jackson: The Titan's curse", I felt like I was the main character. The thing that I most enjoyed about this book is the names of the chapters. There was one chapter that was called Grover gets a Lamborghini. I think Inkheart is really far from the truth because I dont think there is going to be a book that whe you read it it comes true what you read. I think a book can change the life of person by the way they think.

Zathura

A family issue that was resolved was sibling rivalry. In this movie, Danny and Walter were always arguing and whent they found the game they argued more than ususal. But the game solved their problem by working together to beat it. This problem is almost the same with my brother. We don't fight all the time but we don't do some stuff together because we don't like the same things. I have faced some family conflicts but they aren't impossible to solve, they are really difficult to solve.

Alien

I agree with the director's goal because that goal is what makes a horror movie. I think a movie that have achieved that goal is Poltergeist(1982). I think the director Tobe Hooper did a great job on Poltergeist. Some of the special effects in Poltergeist(1982) were that they used real human skeletons instead of plastic ones because it was cheaper. I think the special effects were creative. I think some special effects were computer-generated. The special set a mood of suspense and I think it was really effective. I think some people like to be scared because it gives them a little bit of amusement in their lives.  I really don't know anyone that loves to be frightened.

The Princess Bride


Some fairy tales are the three little pigs and the wolf. The elements that attracted the grandson is love and suspense. Death can stop true love because if you die, you don't feel love. The real meaning of true love is the between family.

Popeye

This movie is about a sailor man called Popeye that goes to SweetHaven to find his father. My favorite song is "I am what I am". This song describes Popeye's personality. I think I really liked where the movie was made, but I have to do some research about the place before going because I dont if it's still the sane as the movie. My favorite part of the film was when Popeye is writing a note with Swee' Pea and it made feel a little emotional. Swee' Pea is the director's baby. In the review, i'm impressed about all the good things he wrote about the film.

Blog Post #9: Little Boy

Little Boy

Many issues that present in this film are bullying, racism and bad relationship between brothers. The issue that I fina very serious is racism because that is something that is happening the most in the world. From the list that Pepper had, the most difficult one I think is the one that the priest called "Befriend Hashimoto" because he thought that all the Japanese were bad people. The easiest one was the one called "Feed the hungry" because all he had to do was invite Hashimoto to his house for dinner. The reason that some things are difficult for some people when dealing with others is the they don't know how to respond or maybe they don't know others are gonna respond. I think our prejudices influence this by the way we think of other people. London changes when he saves Hashimoto and takes him to the hospital. I think the list and mustard seed symbolizes the faith that Pepper had, and the boots represent the love that Pepper had for his father. I don't know if there are anymore symbols in the movie.

Blog Post #8 Arthur Christmas

Arthur Christmas

I don't think that every child expects because either they are poor and their parents can't afford presents or they are from a different religion. The present the little girl wanted was a pink bicycle and she was confident that she was gonna get it because she believed in Santa. The difference between the different ''Santas" are that Arthur is very festive about Christmas, GrandSanta is very goofy and crazy, Santa is very nice and calm, and Steve is very bossy and vigilant. I prefer GrandSanta because of his personality. It was important to children to not see Santa because parents say that if you see Santa, he will disappear forever, and parents say that so the children don't figure out that Santa doesn't exist. I have never seen Santa but my recreation was that he was a fat, old man that sneaks into houses to eat cookies and milk and leave presents to the people that leaves him cookies and milk.

Adventures in babysitting

This movie is about a girl that has to babysit, but when they went to get ice cream, they get into a lot of mischief on the street. The scene that has most value is when they get in a place where there are a lot of car dealers and criminals. The director's message is to be careful on the streets. The goal is to show the dangers that there are on  the streets. My first was that the movie was not gonna be a movie that I would be interested in. What I was impressed most of is when the little girl was on the windows of the building.
  

Assessments #6 Monster👾 House 🏠 and Hocus Pocus

Monster House & Hocus Pocus



The feelings that are expressed in both movies are love and fear. The superstition in Monster House is that I don't think a house can come to life, and the superstition in Hocus pocus is that I don't think brooms actually float. The issues in each movie are the graphics. At the end of Monster House, the lesson was about bravery and love. At the end of Hocus Pocus, the lesson was about the love between siblings and that the older sibling has to protect the younger sibling no matter what happens.

Assessments#5: Frankenweenie

Frankenweenie

This movie teaches about the love between a kid and a pet. When Sparky dies, Victor gets an idea to revive him, which I think it wouldn,t be a good idea to do that because it would stink the house and my parents would find out easily. When we saw it in class it was the first time and I loved it

Assessments #4: Hugo

When I saw the movie trailer of Hugo, I thought it was not gonna be a movie that I would like. But when I saw the movie in the first ten minutes, I had already liked that movie. Hugo is an orphan that when his father died, his alcoholic uncle told him how to run the clocks so he can be safe from the orphanage. He was safe in there because everyone thought that his uncle was running the clocks instead of Hugo. Orphanages in the 1930s were bad because in that time, orphans were nothing but scum to other people. This movie teaches us that we all have a purpose in life but, we have to find our purpose. It can take a long time but, we can't stop looking for it.

Assessments#3 The Goonies

The Goonies:

The movie teaches us a lot of stuff. These kids are not popular or rich, they are just kids on an adventure, taking care of each other.  They give each other a hard time, but you never doubt that they love each other. The most important theme of the movie is that people are people. This is the most important theme because Sloth is scary and treated like an animal from his own family, but he is still a person, and Chunk is the only one that realized that.

Assessments #2: Brother Bear

Brother Bear

I like this movie because i learned that you have to guide your actions to be prosperous. When Sitka turns Kenai into a bear, he teaches Kenai about love. This movie also teaches us about sibling rivalry. The sibling rivalry that the showed was about Kenai and Denahi. This one of my favorite movies.

Assessment #1: Horton Hears A Who

Horton Hears A Who

"A person's a person, no matter how small'

I liked this quote because I learned a lot from it. I learned that no matter the size, we have to respect that person like we respect other people.
