Review 1: The Hangover

What happens when you’re so hungover and you don’t remember anything from the night before? “The Hangover” happens! This movie staring Bradley Cooper, Ed Helms, Zach Galifianakis, Heather Graham and Justin Bartha is an 100 minute R rated comedy that was released in 2009. The question is: Is it worth watching?

The movie’s pacing was steady and the mood was very confused. While watching this movie I felt like I could tell them what was happening by jumping inside the T.V. The plot is a phenomenal idea. Four friends are going to Las Vegas (one is getting married) and they party so hard they wake up missing the groom with no memory of it all. The wedding is soon and they have no idea where he could be. They have figure out what went down the night before.

Overall the movie was a great comedy worth watching for the laughs.Using the rating system 1-5 every category got 3-5.

I would recommend this movie to anyone who wants a great laugh and enjoys watching people be very confused. I won’t recommend this movie for younger kids and people who don’t like comedy movies. :)

Addie is Respect!

2012-01-17T10:08:00.000-08:00

What would happen if everyone was always rude, rotten and there was almost no respect around? “The Misfits” by James Howe is a book about the gang of five, a group of four 7th graders who get called names without end. A new opportunity comes when they start a new political party to stop the names forever. They decide to name it the no name party. Addie Carle doesn’t show respect in the beginning of “The Misfits” by James Howe, but she later learns how to get what she wants by respecting people.

A good example of her being rude is on page 19 where she says “...it should have said himself or herself...”. Addie says this as she stands up rudely for what she believes in, while telling her teacher off Ms. Wyman. At first Addie struggles with respecting people. She interrupts her teachers and fellow classmates. “Addie,” Ms. Wyman says. “I think perhaps-” “Did you happen to read this morning’s New York Times? Addie continues. (pg. 19) Addie wants justice, but the way she tries to get it which is rudely and pushy is not the right way to go. She also doubts what others can do. “What’s Tonni got to do with?” says Addie. “Can’t you think for yourself, Dushawn?”(pg.157) Addie doubts Dushawn and what he can do. She only thinks about things she chooses to care about.

Addie does show respect by finally learning she needs help changing the world and she can’t do it on her own. “That was so cool, Bobby. Way to go.”(pg.190) Addie is congratulating Bobby because he talked Ms.Wyman and Mr.Kiley into letting the No name party be official. She is learning the world doesn’t revolve around her and things can happen without her. Addie is thanking Bobby for getting the No-name party into business. “Thank you Ms. Wyman.”(pg.245) She is thanking Ms.Wyman because they solved their relationship problem and gained a new level of respect for each other. Addie says thank you because she knows it’s the right thing to do. She has learned her lesson. Go Addie!

James Howe was able to show Addie’s change with learning very well. He puts her in a place where she has to learn to respect people so she gets what she wants. Addie is only like me a little because we think too different from each other. Addie is more like my aunt Jessica who makes up her mind and only cares about what she chooses. Addie has a strong personality and adding respect to it makes her very close to perfect.

Which MacBook Air Is My Favorite?

2011-12-13T09:47:00.000-08:00

Looking for a newer, faster, brighter MacBook Air, Which one is better? The MacBook Air is a small mac laptop from apple that’s as thin a pencil. I want one for its size, more space for pictures and music, and I need a newer faster laptop. After I googled MacBook Air Comparison Chart I found a chart on apple.com comparing the 11-inch MacBook Air and the 13-inch MacBook Air which lead me to the question: Which Macbook Air is better?

    The two laptops have a lot in common like their Precision aluminum unibody and their Multi-touch trackpad. One thing that is different is the fact the 13-inch MacBook Air has a SD card slot and the 11-inch doesn’t. This difference makes me lean to the 13-inch because I need a place to put pictures. The 13-inch MacBook Air has up to 7 hours wireless web while the 11-inch only has 5 hours wireless web.
    One thing that makes a huge difference is prices. I’ll spend as much as I need to for a good laptop but, it has to be reasonable. The 11-inch Macbook Air costs $999 not counting a case and tax while the 13-inch MacBook Air costs $1299 not counting a case or tax. It will take me longer to save for the 13-inch and I need a new laptop now.
    In the end of comparing I choose the 13-inch Macbook Air. It doesn’t have a HD facetime camera, a super drive, or FireWire but I can live without those things. What really made the deal is the SD card slot and how it can have up to 7 hours of wireless web. I’m sure both Macbook Air’s are great but, the 13-inch fits my needs more than the 11-inch.

Opposites

Summer Tustison is the most creative person I know and while I share some of her creativity I am a little more wild. I seriously have no idea how sad I would be if I didn't have a best friend like her. Summer has long auburn hair with a side part and bangs, She is about 4’9” making her shorter than me by a few inches. She has cool dark brown eyes that are almost black. She has flat fingers and small ears, but she hears every sound.

Summer is very stubborn and you can tell when she’s really mad. She loves scary movies and I don’t. We both love video games and can play them for hours. The Nightmare on Elm Street is her all time favorite scary movie. We both like computers and all the Sim games. She plays outside until dark and I hate outside so much because it’s always so cold, I ditch her and go play on the computer. I like cheesecake and she likes pie. We are very different but almost the same.

Summer and I have had lots of good times together. I’ve gone to many movies with her and had tons of sleepovers. We have taken trips together and one time we went to her grandmother’s house in April who lives in Newport beach. We were there for a week and on Tuesday we went to Disneyland, where we went on every ride that was open, for a whole 10 hours. We wore the same shoes and shirt and a little old lady asked if we were sisters. Our favorite ride was Big Thunder Mountain. Summer went first and finally got me to go on it. We also did that every day. A few hours earlier she made me go on my first roller coaster. It was 20 seconds long and I cried but Summer didn’t laugh at me at all.

Summer is my best friend for many reasons, but it’s mostly because I know I can share anything with her and not be laughed at or judged. She is supportive of all the interesting things I do and we have great fun together. I’m really happy I met her, and we have stayed friends for almost 10 years.

i love ipods

2011-09-28T15:24:00.000-07:00

i love my iPod because i love listening music and i use it all the time, it has games too. I also have a laptop that i play Sims 2 on. i don't use that as much but its in the top 5. I have an ihome that wakes me up to vanilla twilight every morning at 7:41. i use game sites and you tube the most when i have internet to use. I think everything will go back to the 60's and no one but the really really rich will have an iPhone in 50 years. In 10 years we will probably have smart walls, and the 11th iphone ready for sale. :)
