“Disaster Movie” Movie Review

By Max

     Disaster Movie is a comedy film made by Jason Friedburg. The plot is about the end of the world, August 29, 2008 has been predicted in the ancient years. In that same day, Will and his friends and some guests are having a “Super Duper Sweet Sixteen” party in his house. At suddenly, the house started to shake hardly, and Will and his friends knew about the earthquake is caused by a meteor rain, if they don’t return the crystal skull they have to the altar, it is the end of the world! So they start their journey to bring back the crystal skull.

     I think the camera work was perfect, like the crazy Chipmunks wanted to kill Juney in the shelter, and they ate her vertebrae. That vertebrae was just like a real one, it was emersed from her body, so I felt it was a bit scary. The effects are also good too, at the part of the three heroes wanted to fight with the natural disaster, instead of winning, they are all knocked by some big cows falling from the sky. It was pretty funny because when the Green Hulk wanted to fight it, his pants are blown away and he is very shy. He is also knocked by the cows.

     At the scene of everyone leaving the city, Batman talks to Will and realizes that is 5:30pm, he hooks the rope to the roof of a building, but misses and accidentally hooks to the back of a car, Batman ends with being pulled by the car and hit a lot of things. At that scene it was pretty funny because of Batman doing the wrong thing.

Scary Movie 4 Movie Review

By Max

     Scary Movie 4 is a comedy movie directed by David Zucker. In the movie, the main character Cindy finds work with a home healthcare company taking care of an old woman who lives in a scary house. Her neighbor Tom falls in love with her after she moved in, but aliens invade the world and everything gets crazy. I really enjoy watching this movie because the unique lighting and special effects make the humorous scenes standout. Further, the screen writing always keeps me thinking. Let’s take a closer look. 

     This movie’s lighting is overall very good, but the scene where Cindy and the other supporting characters are trapped in a bathroom really demonstrates solid light work. At first the bathroom the bathroom is pitch black, then lights turn on flickering and we are left with an image of them wearing a venus fly trap.  It’s hilarious.

I also like this movie’s special effects very much, for instance when the Tripods come out from the road and transformed into aliens.  This is extremely funny because the Tri-pods actually looked like I-pods at first, and we are expecting some very scary aliens to emerge, not mp3 players.  The special effects men also do a very nice job transforming the shape of the Tripods from an I-pod into a cockroach-like creature. It is fantastic. 

     Throughout the movie, the screen writing really makes the jokes enjoyable. There is one scene where the president of the United States is testing out a weapon which makes people’s clothes disappear. Of course we wind up with a naked President on screen! I think everyone can find things to make them laugh in Scary Movie 4. I highly recommend it.

     Scary Movie 4 is a comedy movie directed by David Zucker. In the movie, Cindy finds work in home healthcare to take care of an old woman in a scary house. Her neighbor, Tom, loves Cindy after she came. But, alien invaded the world, so Tom leaves with his son and daughter to the battlefield where the U.S. fights with the Tripods, and Cindy leaves with Brenda, another person that she met, to a village that can’t leave when staying it. They met each other again in the bathroom at the start, and they need to play a game with Billy Puppet to save the world and themselves.

     The scenes include Shaq and Dr. Phil in the bathroom with nerve gas in it, the scary house that Cindy need to take care of an old woman, the street that the Tripods started to invade Earth, the village that Cindy and Brenda went to, the battlefield that the U.S. army fought with the Tripods, and the bathroom that they woke up the next morning (It is the same bathroom in the start!), and some more scenes.

     This movie’s lighting is very good, though, even there is a lot of scenes are dark, but the lighting is great in the lighter scenes. About the camera work, it is very good too, with some shots of close and some far images. I like this movie’s effects very much, like the Tripod came out from the road, and it transformed into an alien. The huge laser rays and explodes are making the scene like a true thing happened here!

Youtube

     Youtube is a web page that has many videos on it. It brought people some entertainment on the web, and you can relax and watch some videos without going outside.

     We could see some movies, concerts and songs on Youtube, not only watching videos. These video clips are being posted to Youtube by us, so using this way is like sharing some videos on the web.

     Youtube also helps our homework, too. When we need to write a project about the environment, you just enter the word on Youtube and you can see videos that are related to it. We could see that many education videos are also posted on Youtube, so this is also one of some good ways to learn things on the web.

     Everyone has some experience about using Youtube. Like me, I registered a Youtube account, and posted some of my own made videos on Youtube. While doing that, I also watch other people’s videos, and I sometimes will leave a comment or question about the video. After I learned about Youtube, I and my brother really liked to see Billboard Hot 100. It is very good to watch!

     Saying of Youtube, it is very convenient! When you want to see some concerts and movies, and hear some music, you just find them in Youtube! You can never spend money to see concerts and movies, and CD’s too!

1000709 The Sun’s Legend

The Sun’s Legend

By Max

     About 460 million years ago, our solar system was born. In the solar system, there are a few planets inside; one of them is the Sun. The Sun is very bright and hot, but it gave our planet brightness and warm climates until now.

     There are also some Chinese legends about the Sun. According to one famous legend, there are ten suns on the sky in ancient China, so the weather became very hot, and the crops died, so the people have nothing to eat. One famous archer called Hou Yi wanted to save the world from starving to death, so he used his bow and arrows and shot down nine of the ten suns. Because there is only a sun on the sky, so people can live happily again.

     After Hou Yi shot down the nine suns, the Jade Emperor was very angry because of the ten suns were his sons and Hou Yi shot down nine of them, so he banished Hou Yi and his wife. The Goddess saw this, so she gave him an elixir of immortality. But his wife is very greedy; she drank the potion and started flying to the moon. So that’s why there is also a legend about Chang O flying to the Moon.

     The sun is very important to us, and if one day the sun doesn’t exist anymore, then we won’t survive anymore.

1000708 About the Moon

About the Moon

By Max

     If you notice the sky every night, you would see the moon. Every night, the moon would appear in the sky, but sometimes it is round, sometimes it is curve-shaped, and sometimes it won’t appear. Because the sun reflects sunlight to the moon, and it let the moon shine on some parts of the moon. So that’s why you can see a round moon in the 15^th day on every lunar month.

     When we see the moon on Earth, it looks like a ball. But actually, when one day you step on the Moon, you can see many craters on the surface. Because many meteorites and some small rocks from space would hit the moon, but there’s no sound. Because of the craters, some Taiwanese people would say there’s a rabbit on the moon when it’s a full moon.

     A Chinese holiday called Moon Festival is also related to the moon. At August 15^th in the lunar calendar, we would eat barbecue and eat some pomelos and moon cakes. Finally, we would see the full moon above the sky. Even I think Moon Festival is only like eating foods in the festival, but I think it is very fun.

     Because the moon is a close planet from us, so we should learn more from the moon. There is other many things from our lives are related to the moon too!

1000702 Science of Babies

Science of Babies

By Max

     Babies are the start of all humans. If we don’t be a baby for the first six years, we wouldn’t know how to walk, talk, and eat and some other things we need to learn later. Learning these things is very important in our future lives.

   We know that every baby is not really same about their skin color, their face, and also about their expressions after they were born. The baby’s inherent and outside relations to his dad and mom’s DNA, so some parts of the baby is like his dad, and the other parts of the baby is like his mom.

     Some babies are born with some fragmentary parts, because their body parts hadn’t grown well in the mother’s uterus. These kinds of babies should need more care and accompany from their father and mother. Even if it’s a normal baby, his father and mother should do the same thing too, to let themselves ready for their future lives.

     Some people have racial discrimination, that will discriminate some kinds of people, but I’m still sure that, every baby can be a good person in the future, that can work very hard, but also cares about their father and mother.
