Magic 8 ball movie?

Yes thats right people I just read that Paramount is planning on coming out with a movie about the magic 8 ball. This is great because I no we all use to have one when were younger to help us make decisions. I think that they could make this movie hillarious if they eight ball was the main character. Picture people coming up to it and talking to it but it answers by just shaking and giving a classic eight ball answer. Jon Gunn and John Mann will write the script, who have helped make a few good dreamsworks movies. Paramount could make this a big success like they have before with children's toys: Transformers and G.I Joe.

Puss in Boots in shrek 4

I attend the Campus Movie fest for a third straight year here at bridgewater state on Wednesday night. The last two years I helped Alex Perry in his movies and both years we won. This year I did not help him but decided to help a few of my other buddies that could of used the help more. When I went and watched all 15 movies on Wednesday night I was actually more impressed than I thought I would be. I was happy to see most of the movies came out great and there is more movie making talent here than I had thought. I am glad to see this because us students here feed off of each other. I am glad that this festival comes to this school every year around this time. It almost gives the campus a buzz and students are proud to put their work on display. Keep it up students of BSC!

Summer Flics

I was just reading an article on Yahoo about movies coming out this summer and I chuckled. I am pumped for Iron Man 2 and Karate Kid. Mikey Rourke looks like a great villain in Iron Man 2 and I love Will Smith's son as the karate kid and Jakie Chan as Mr Miyagi. I also like the newer version of the A team starring Bradley Cooper, Jessica Biel and an appearance from UFC's Quinton "Rampage" Jackson. This should be an entertaining summer and a hot one at that! But what I am most excited for is the Best Worst Movie. I just watched the trailer and it was hysterical. It is based on the movie Troll 2 and how it was hated by so many but now 2o years after it was made people are re uniting and making it so popular. It's a twist and it may not sound funny the way I talk about it but do yourself a favor and watch the trailer.

Clash of the Titans

I have not yet seen a movie in 3d at Imax but I am definitely considering doing so after seeing the previews for Clash of the Titans. Warner Brothers brings an old fashion action story that we have all read or heard probably in elementary or middle school to life. Some of the monsters they have made in the movie look amazing almost frightening a 21 year old man like myself never mind what it might do to children. I always found the story of the Titans and the Greek god's to be very interesting, now that they have added they unbelievable graphics and animations to the story I am willing to spend the ten dollars or whatever it is to go watch it(probably more now!)

Creative Website haha

I just fell upon this great website that keeps me laughing for hours called textfromlastnight.com. This site lets viewers see what others have texted to some that is embarrising yet at the same time hilarious. Viewer then once reading the text get to decide if he or she who sent it had a good or bad night by voting on the comment. You may also comment about the situation. The website has become so popular with teens and college students that they have created their own application for the iphone/itouch by apple. I have always seen people leaving these hilarious messages to one another on facebook but never knew why they had a set of numbers with parentheses in front of them. This stands for the area code that the text was sent from. I suggest you take a look at this website it is worth a few laughs.

Process in making a production

I have never realized the process it takes to make a film production ranging from a commercial to a feature film. I watched a documentary on making a 30 second commercial and it took almost 3 days to shoot, just for around 6 or 7 shots. I am also in class this semester where you have to make your own 15 minute feature film by yourself. At first I thought no problem but this an extremely hard task to succeed at alone. I give tons of credit to all those underground producers and directors with hardly any money trying to succeed making a 90 minute movie. I now realize how hard it is to make anything today on Tv or in theaters but hey that is why people love making and watching them. 

Toy Story 3

I was just reading on Yahoo that Pixar and Disney are planning on making a Toy Story 3. I was excited as a little kid to hear this news because I love the original Toy Story. I thought Pixar was very creative coming up with a concept that toys can actually come to life and have an adventure. I just watched the trailer for the third Toy Story and I was relieved that they kept Tom Hanks and Tim Allen as the voices of Buzz and Woody. Some movies when they go to a trilogy they sometimes do not keep the same actors. The plot for the third Toy Story is great the trailer alone had me laughing. Its about how Andy( the toys owner) is older now and is going off to college so he donates his toys to a daycare where they meet other old and used toys. I would love to see them put this movie in 3d on Imax.

Academy Awards

I enjoy this time of year with spring break going on especially kicking it off with the Academy Awards tonight. I love to see who will win best picture. I'm thinking that avatar will win but I would like to see hurt locker pull it off. That movie was shot extremely well and I was told that the director (Kathryn Bigelow) only used three cameras to film it. I like the combination of Alec Baldwin and Steve Martin as the two host, they play off of each other well. I just wonder how they feel cracking those jokes on the actors/actress there. The room is rather small and it must be somewhat awkward because I know the stars feel weird just by the look on their faces.

Blog spot

Since starting this blog on blogpsot.com I have noticed more and more people actually use and have a blog on this website. I follow a few of my friends on here as long with some classmates. I recently heard in a song by Drake, a new up and coming rap and R and B artist, shouts out his blog on here (octobersown.blogspot.com). I was surprised to hear that he has a blog on here as well as the rest of his group. Just by going on and searching on twitter as well I found many celebrities but it was hard to decipher if it was really them leaving feeds or not. These are great ways to keep in touch with your favorite celebs or even just some of your friends that you do not see to often if you live up at school.

I watched the movie The Hurricane last nite, if you do not know it, it is a movie starring Denzel Washington, where he gets convicted of a murder he never committed and the cops cover up the evidence. This to me was one of denzel's best roles of all time. He plays his character extremely well, showing so much pain and anger that man in jail for 20 years would. My favorite seen is when Denzel tries to convince his lawyer and the warden from the prison to try and go to the federal courts and appeal the new evidence his friends found out. In this scene Denzel gets extremely angry when they tell him he needs to wait for more evidence because he has been in jail for almost his whole life. His emotions are unbelievably real and make me feel for his character. What makes the movie even better is it is a true story and comes out to happy ending with justice being served and the man is let out of jail for no wrong doing. I have always been a huge Denzel fan but this film made me put him over the age as one of the best actors ever.

Winter Olympics

I have been watching some of the winter olympics lately and they have been really interesting. I like the way they are approaching them this year with the more popular sports on in prime time. I watched the women down hill skiing and the men snowboarding halfpipe competition. The men snowboarders are some crazy guys I must say these guys on some tricks were getting up to 20 feet in the air which to me is unimaginable. If I were to do even try to attempt any trick even if it was a 5 foot jump I would be scared. Even the woman's down hill skiing was pretty intense, one woman took a vicious spill something that looked really painful yet she walked away uninjured. I think people do not understand how tough these olympians really are. I was actually really suprised when I heard the number of viewers that these olympic games were getting. ESPN compared the winter games to American Idol and the winter games had more viewers, thirty million to eighteen million!

Must be nice to be a weatherman

After this big hooplah of talk about this humongous nor'easter I noticed this morning and even still now that there is barely any snow outside. This honestly frustrates me because me like most people was prepared for there to be a blizzard yet its only a dusting. Which brings me to my point it must be nice to have a job on tv were over 50% of the time you are wrong and are lying to your audience and oo yea get paid for it as well.

Super bowl and Media adds

I find it extremely interesting how so many high name companies pay millions to to advertise for 30 seconds on the Superbowl. Granted I understand it is the biggest watched event every year but I am pretty sure people still watch just as much television every other day and still see image lasting commercials that they will remember more than the Superbowl. The only reason I say they will remember them more is not because they are more entertaining or funny than the Superbowl commercials(because we all know that is what they're known for) but because they get played hundreds of times over and over again till we can recite them in our sleep. I personally do not think the Superbowl ads are worth it because you can pay for a regular time slot and just have the commercial played hundreds of times for the same price as one 30 second commercial during the game and it would be a lot more affective.

Internship and Grad School

I have been thinking to myself lately about looking into Grad schools soon even thought I am not graduating this year I would still like to look into the early. One of my main reasons of going would be if I am not able to land a job when I get out of school. I am going to try and apply for an internship @ comcast sportsnet but I can not assume I will get that or any other internship I apply for and even if I do internship at Comcast there is no guarantee I will get the job when I am done. I was wondering if anybody knew about some great Grad Schools to look into for media studies like film production and editing? Those are what I want to learn about more if I am going to attend Grad School.
