Movies

It always takes me along time to type my blogs. I think it is because I almost do the same thing every week. In almost all my blogs I talk about my week. So, I am going to talk about things that don't involve my week. I also had a couple of words I could not spell once and a while but I have discovered how to spell check my blogs. I also think I don't make my blogs stand out that much ,which if you have not noticed yet, I am typing in a different color than normal. I'm also going to add pictures and if I am lucky I might even put a video clip on my blog.

My first topic that doesn't involve a summary of my week is how I'm like a movie critic. Even though nobody hears my thoughts of a movie we are all sort of like critics, other wise we would like every movie that comes out. In order to be a movie critic the one thing that is real important is seeing the movie. The things you consider when a critic is how well it gets your attention, if you enjoyed it, and it kept you interested through out the entire movie.

I went and saw Enchanted and it was a pretty good movie but not what I expected. Now in order to get people to come to the movie they make a preview to show what the movie will be like. I have kind of noticed certain things that relate movies to their previews. In comedies the preview shows a little bit of the funny parts and the movie is funny. Then theirs the comedies that all the funny parts are revealed in the preview and makes the movie boring. Then the movies with good preview that suck and movies that preview sucks but then the movie is actually good. Then their is a movie that was made after a book. In this category it depends on your opinion and if you have read the book or not. You either like it because it stuck with the book or you hate it because it did not followed the book at all. Like I was disappointed with the movie Eragon because it was nothing like the book because of how much they had cut out so much. but then again a movie can have a good preview and still be good.

Then another important part are sequels. A sequels you have to be care full about because they are not always good as the first one. The first couple of sequels may be good but when you hit four or five the story line begins to get dull. The only way a series is good when it is on movie six is if the movies are one big problem. That is why Star wars movies are good because one movie is not better than the others, sure you can still have your favorite one but it keeps the story going. This is also why series that resolve a problem in every movie and starts a new one in the next movie seem to get dull and are not as interesting as the first. Then when a movie has two sequels if the second was better than the first the third will most likely be bad.
Then sometimes a movie series doesn't get good until the third or fourth movie. Then a book series that is made into movies really depends on how close it is to the book because an author makes a reader want to read the other books so if the movies follow the books then everybody will follow the movies and think it is a great movie.

P.S. don't be in the same room with a deep frier or a person chopping onions and then look at a computer screen for more then fifteen minutes because it hurts your eyes like no other.
