The Usual Suspects

The Usual Suspects is about five guys who are being questioned about being responible for a bomb that went off on a ship that was suspected of having drugs on it. There is a main guy that you don't see face during the whole movie and he's a very powerful and many many people are very scared of him. His name is Kaijsa Sojia or whatever. In the end of the movie they ends up being the only one of the five guys to survive and he was the really quite guy so I wasn't expecting it at all. This movie is also very confusing at times, and you need to really pay attention. The one problem i had was that there were alot of characters so it was hard to follow. I woudn't say that this movie is a must see but it is pretty good if anyone gets the chance they should sit down and watch. But keep in mind that you have to pay close attention because it's very easy to get confused!

Memento


Memento is a very confusing but good movie. It is the kind of movie you almost have to watch twice to get it. It is about a man whoose wife was raped and murdered and he was hit in the head during the struggle and he get short term memory loss. Therefore he write everything he does down and sometimes even tattoos it on his body. He is looking for the guys that killed his wife threw the whole movie and he is relying on his notes and the people he meets to help. He ends up getting screwed over by a couple people he met, they use him because he can't remember anything. In the end he finds the guy and kills him. The whole movie plays backwards so it can get really hard to follow but it's still very interesting. The ending of the movie was terrible though, i was very disappointed about it, but overall it was very good and i would watch it again.

I'm Outraged - teaching girls to be Promiscous


I cannot even believe this website - teaching young children to dress up trashy looking dolls in bar clothes and clothes that just barely cover their bodies. Little girls are getting the message that it is cool and looks good when you dress like that, and that is definitly not the message we want to be sending to young girls. When i have a daughter, she's definitly not aloud to be on these kinds of websites because i don't want her dressing like a tramp. This issue make me very verklempt about the what the media is teaching our next generation!

Canada's Next Top Model is Wrong



Last night I watched the show "Canada's Next Top Model" and I was not impressed with the way they treated the contestants. Also, it is sending a bad message to young impressionable girls who are watching at home. It is giving girls the impression that they should be totally focused on their looks and be obsessed with being thin and sexual.All of the girls on the show are naturally beautiful and just hearing the jugdes put them down all the time make them think that they are ugly or not good enough to be the next top model when they really are. I don't think it's right for these girls to take it, we get enough of it just going to school or work everyday, why should they go on a show to hear it non-stop, makes no sence to me once so ever!

Life and Death is not ENTERTAINMENT


I am outraged. I just finished reading about a new reality tv show about people competing for a dying woman's kidney. I think this is so disgusting and very rude. Not only is the woman's illness being shown across the world, but people can really care less that she is going to die, they just want her kidney. People really need to rethink their ideas for T.v. shows, this is not entertaining once so ever to me,and I can't tell you enough how disgusted i am. People really will do anything to get on T.v. these days and it's pretty sad. This is definitly a show i will NOT be watching!

American History X


American History X is a very intense movie that has to do with alot of racial issues. It is about a guy named Derek is a very very anit-semitic and his bad behaviour starts to rub off on his little brother Danny. After Derek kills 2 black guys after they try to break into his car he gets sent to jail for 3 years. While he's in jail, Danny starts to follow in his shoes by going to meetings and parties with Dereks old friends and other anti-semitic people. When Derek gets out he has a chamge of heart and no longer is the way he used to be. He trys to get Danny away from it all and his family too. Sadly in the end, Danny ends up getting shot at school by a black kid that he eariler on in movie stood up too. This movie was one of those that it is so hard to watch but again hard not to once you start. Overall this movie was good when it comes to showing how rascism and anti-semitism can get very out of head.

BIAS!!


" A bias is a prejudice in a general or specific sense, usually in the sense for having a preference to one particular point of view or ideological perspective. " An example of being bias is like when you are talking or writing about something and you have a strong opinion about the subject then you will talk about it in your point of view and stick strongly to it. For example when i talk about facebook to people, i do not like it at all and nothing anyone can say will change my mind. That's my definition and opinion about what bias is!
