Movie Review Preview

1. Name of the publication
Captain America : Civil War EW Review
2. Name of the writer
The writer is Chirst Nashawaty
3. Grade or score the movie review on a 1-10 scale in your opinion
I thought the movie review was fantastic, since it didn't spoil anything that wasn't already known. Yet it also showed the writers opinion and thoughts on the upcoming movie. I would say a 7-10.
4. High Points of the movie (performances, cinematography, plot, etc.)
Chris spent a good amount of writing talking about the cast, and how many new faces are being added to add to the depth of the movie. As well as how the film messes with your opinion on whose side you would fight for, constantly switching your perspective to help make the movie very involved with the audience.
5. Low points of the movie (performances, cinematography, plot, etc.)
The main low point of the movie that the writer pointed out was the so-so side villain that could have been removed, but also is a great villain. Chris doesn't seem to have a solid opinion on whether the villain should be in the movie, but realizes that if it even has to be discussed there is a problem.
6. Quote a paragraph from the review that you think expresses the overall opinion of the reviewer about the movie.
Civil War generously gives everyone in the cast just the right amount to do, whether it’s showcasing their gee-whiz smashy-smashy gifts during one bravura battle royal set at the Leipzig airport, or allowing them to have a slower beat of character development that one assumes is the main reason for serious actors to sign on to these CGI behemoths (aside from the obscenely large paychecks, of course).

1. Name of the publication
The Jungle Book Review
2. Name of the writer
The review is by Matt Zoller Seitz
3. Grade or score the movie review on a 1-10 scale in your opinion
I would say the review is a 8.5-10 since it is very in depth and lengthy.
4. High Points of the movie (performances, cinematography, plot, etc.)
First off, the writer talks about how pretty much every scene is mainly animate, and that the characters are literally sitting in some green screen room in la, having to pretend they are there, total commitment really does pay off. The cinematography, which is mainly done in the computer is absolutely gorgeous, there is never a shot that seems to not look gorgeous and visually stunning according to the reviewer. And the plot and characters of the movie all together added to become a great rendition of the old tale.
5. Low points of the movie (performances, cinematography, plot, etc.)
The reviewer pointed out that he thought there was definitely a lack of music in the film, how there were conversations in the film that if they had a sweet melody behind them would have made it 10 times more powerful and inspiring.
6. Quote a paragraph from the review that you think expresses the overall opinion of the reviewer about the movie.
In every way, this quietly majestic film should be considered a triumph. The familiar, picaresque story of a young boy raised by forest creatures but fated to re-join Man has been re-imagined as a funny, scary, affecting family adventure with mythic heft but a refreshing lack of swagger. It was made with the latest in movie-making technology but has the ethical values and wide-net storytelling sensibility of an Old Hollywood classic. At its best it feels as though it always existed and we are only now discovering it.

Captain Philips

1. Who are the main characters you would expect to see in the movie, based on the real life events?
Of course Philip, then Abduwali Muse and Najee, and the crew that was on board with him.
2. Briefly, in 2-3 paragraphs, tell me what you expect the plot to be in the movie, based on the real life events?
From the articles, it seems that Philip and his crew will boat out to close to the somali coast and be taken hostage by some Somalian pirates. I read an article saying the Philip was warned the area had a lot of pirates at the time but he disregarded it since he wanted to get from point a to point b as fast, and as efficiently as possible.
3. Why was this story important?
This story showed the conflict that phillip and his crew had to go through when they were attacked by pirates, and the whole background and side storys that lead up to the event.
4. Why did the pirates try to take the ship?
It seems as if the pirates didn't want what was on the ship, but rather the ship itself, and they found use for capturing the people on it. By doing so they could negotiate with the FBI to make a deal so they could get something from returning the captain safely.

1. List the five most important actors in the film.
Tom Hanks plays Captain Philip, Barkhad Abdi, Barkhad Abdirahman
2. What is the movie rated?
The movie is rated Pg-13
3. Who directed the movie?
The movie was direct by Paul Greenglass
4. Who was the producer?
The producers were Micheal De Luca, Scott Rudin, and Dana Brunetti.
5. What awards did it win?
Bafta Best supporting actor as well as best adapted screenplay.
6. How much did it cost to make?
The film cost 55 million dollars to produce, yet it made 218 Dollars.
7. How was it received by audiences?
People thought it was fairly good film, receiving a 93% on rotten tomatoes.
8. What did other movie reviews think about the movie?
There were many reviews that said the movie made captain phillips a hero, when in real life he is really a selfish man who put his whole crew in danger just for money. I read many articles saying the movie shouldn't even be considered "based on a true story" since they stretch out the heroism of phillip, when in real life he wasn't even really the one who got them out of their situation.

Final Exam Preview

1.) Summarize what you watched and read about - let's say 2-3 paragraphs of 3-4 sentences
From the short videos I relearned the basics of Imovie, like impoting, managing clips and all that stuff. The first film I ever made was on IMovie and many after that, this program is what started my passion, so I know it fairly well, But I do know premiere better at this point in my life.
2.) Tell me one thing that you already knew about iMovie that the website explained
Like I said before, I already knew the basics and since I am a cinematographer who has used multiple programs to edit films I have a pretty good Idea at what im doing.
3.) Tell me one thing that you learned new today that you didn’t know before.
I did not know you could add special effects like lightining in Imovie, thats actually pretty cool and you can't do something like that in premiere, only in after effects.
4.) What are you concerned about with this final project?
Im concerened Imovie won't allow me to have as much editing effeciency and freedom that I usualy do, but I think I will be fine.
5.) Are you confident you can complete early and have ready to use?
Absolutly, one of my most viewed videos I made in 3 hours of editing (thats no time compared to any of my other films), which goes against my code since I like to let it set for a little while and make sure its as polished as it can be.
6.) If I asked you today, what do you think you will do for your video?
Well since we have a lot of freedom on the story we want to tell, 
First Idea: Up to the top, I would make a short film about climbing trees and have all different views and perspectives on the journey up to the top.
Second Idea: I want to make a silent short film with an inanimate object like a basketball or such and its journey rolling around looking for true love like another basketball, I would make it funny, and very cinematically appealing.
Third Idea: Make a movie about making movies, wouldn't that be interesting.
Im going to make a film about my story of cinematography, how ive come do what i do, and why I do it.

What is your reaction to this story?
Did you know about this issue before reading this story?
What should happen to the people who potentially knew that they were poisoning the people of Flint (including a lot of children)?
If it expands to the governor or even further, should those people be held accountable the same as the rest of the accused city leaders?

3 Officials Charged in Flint Lead Crisis:
I've heard a good amount about the situation in flint, and every time it makes me very irritated and mad. I find that it makes no sense that nobody in the government did anything to fix the problem, thats literally their only job, to keep the citizens safe and healthy. Yet they weren't even able to supply drinkable water. I have heard stories of peoples hair coming out after taking showers in flint, as well as the water being so dark you couldn't see through it, and that just by turning on the sink the house then smells horrible. So my opinion is that yes, the people who knew their actions had bad consequences should absolutely be held accountable, no doubt about it. And when it does spread up the governmental tree of corruption, which it will, they should be held accountable too. Just because someone is in the government doesn't mean they don't have to follow the laws of their government. So if the governor is to blame, then put him in a prison. Sounds harsh, but supplying people with water that could kill them, and has too many side affects to count, is even harsher in my opinion.

Free-write #3

I would like to talk a little about about my background in photography and cinematography. I grew up, and a still growing up in a family that is deeply rooted with media. My grandparents are photographers, my brother and one of my cousins are film makers, and my father edits film, and takes pictures for church since he is a youth minister. In this media oriented family, I adapted to gain all of their separate skills and combine them. But thats not the whole story. I mad my first film when I was 6 years old, and I remember feeling so happy the way people responded to what I had created. Thats when my film story started. As the years went by my knowledge in editing and telling a story improved, to the point where I was getting together my friends and family with a script in my hand and 3 to 4 cameras in different spots. Usually none of those films worked out, but they did in my head, and i knew that one day I would be able to create the things I dreamed about, to be able to tell any story. In elementary school I would show my films to my classes, and everyone would laugh and smile. I created a name for myself, a reputation that nobody could take down or challenge. But all of the films I was creating at that time were silly, they had no real meaning or inspiration. Until middle school rolled around. I remember the day I opened the cabinet of the large clock in our house, only to realize two DSLR Nikon cameras were sitting at the bottom waiting. They had been forgotten about, by the previous owners of the house. Dust had accumulated on the cameras and I spent all day cleaning the cameras and sensors. Then I took my first photo, and I still have it, Here it is

I was saying hello to the new chapter of my life, where I would start taking my photography and films seriously, I had a deep inspiration that had been awakened. I also realized that none of this could have happened by luck or chance. There is no way I had been unintentional training all my life to become a film maker, and to along the way stumble upon everything I needed, Im not here to talk about my faith, but this is one of my very personal reasons I will always believe in God.
So as 8th grade year progressed, I published my first youtube video, and then my next one, and next.  And pretty soon people new people were saying hi to me at school, and I had become known as the inspirational kid. I had recreated the name that was already branded on me. And that summer I took a break from publishing films, I still made a butt ton, I just never realesed them. I call these the "Living it out" Archive. Because I felt like half the things I was inspring people to do I wasn't doing myself, So I put life in full gear and went to living it to the fullest, to never have another dull day. And made a few decent films freshman year first semester, but they still had less meaning to me. Until today, Now I am a Pro-Ametuer photographer and cinematographer, and just this past weekend i was editing 4 different films. I will be releasing "No Limit" which is a film about pushing past all limits and realizing you have none. I also got to work with Dells Children to make a film about their hospital and the things they do. Which will be released in the near future. The third film is "On My Way" which is a simple montage with a speech about always seeing the positive and happy in life. And the final film "Freedom" is about how an individuals freedom can only be achieved through their faith. Its been a heck of a week with all this editing and filming, but I finally feel lime im in high gear again, but this time I have a better understanding on how to do what I envision in my head. I think the next chapter after this summer of my life will be newspaper, and getting to make films for the school and tell more stories than just my own. Which gets me super pumped and excited because making all these films not only makes me feel happy and improve my skills, It will help me get into college and my career in the future since I have started at an incredible young age. Personally I know so many high schoolers who just focus on the now and don't even think twice about their future, when in reality to live now to the fullest you have to think about your future and your future depends on what you do right now! Just wanted to share a little bit of my backstory and who I am as a film maker and photographer.

Sports Exploration Activity

Sport: Track & Field
Set the World Record for fastest 1600m (Mile in 3:43.13)
Athlete: Hicham El Guerrouj

Current Rankings:
1. Hicham El Guerrouj
2. Noureddine Morceli
3. Steve Cram
4. Sebastian Coe
5. Steve Ovett
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mile_run_world_record_progression

Hicham is retired now and will not be competing in the next olympics but is still the king of the mile, 1500m and 2000m runs. He is considered one of the fastest and most efficient human beings to ever live. His journey to the 2004 and earlier olympics were not easy, and he didn't always win. But he put in the effort and the time to become the best he could be. Being retired its all about inspiration, he travels the world visiting schools and holding speeches about track and running and is a inspiration to long-distance runners everywhere. For track there isnt really any playoffs, there are are area, regional, state, national, and international (olympics) races. Hicham managed to make his way to the Olympics Multiple times.
The fastest mile runner at the moment is undecided since the olympics hasn't occured yet. When it comes to rules there aren't too many in track. The first would be obviously to stay on the track while running or else you will get disqualified and to not start to soon or to late. But other rules that people wouldn't usually notice are things like how to pass someone in the race and rules on what you can wear. One of the most common words used by a runner is "PR". Non runners often have no clue what that means, it simply stands for Personal Record. Another example would be the word "Flats" which is the term for a persons racing shoes or "Spikes" which are shoes with, well spikes in them. Often runners, especially long-distance runners get called out for being "weak and skinny", which sometimes is quite true, but very often its not. To be a runner like Hicham one has to be of a very sharp form, and as light as they can be to push their bodies to the limit as long as they can. When people think of track usually the first name that pops in mind is Usain Bolt. Usain was born on August 21st in 1986 in Jamaica. He currently holds the records for the fastest 100m dash and the 200m, and is considered the fastest man alive to ever be officially timed.

CE #5.3

1. How are AISD and the City of Austin working together to keep more money in the Austin community to use for schools? Be specific - Page A1 "City,Austin schools look for...."
The current plan is to initiate a limited tax swap, where certain parts of the school could be taken over and funded by the city.
2. How many years will it take California and NY to raise the minimum wage to $15? Page A4 "Calif., NY to phase in $15...."
By 2022 the minimum wage will be raised, thats 6 years total.
3. What school won the NCAA Men's basketball tournament last night and what was the final score? Page SE2 "Wildcats have finishing touch"
Villanova won the basketball tournament with 77 points against north carolinas 74 points.
4. Which of the 10 Amazing Destinations would you want to visit and why? Page SA1 "See the World" NOTE: This story jumps....
Out of the 10 I would probably choose Canada because of all the scenery, but for the adventure I would go somewhere like India or China.
5. Do you like idea of Instagram expanding videos from 15 second to 1 minute? Why or Why not? Page D1 "Instagram videos...."
From my point of view thats awesome because it will allow me to post longer clips of the adventures I go on, but at the same time It feels to long, I doubt many people will want to stay and watch a 640 by 640 video for longer than 30 seconds.

Short Answer: As we inch closer and closer to the final decisions being made on who will represent the two major political parties in the next Presidential election, I am curious where you stand today. I know we have written about this process and who is doing what in previous current events quizzes, but perhaps you have changed your mind or something has occurred since we last covered this topic. Please address both political parties when you write your answers to the following questions:

Who are the major candidates left in the races?
Are you supportive of a particular candidate? Why?
Do you think the United States is become more divided or more united as a whole as this process continues?
What concerns you most about this election?
What are the big topics you think are pushing the discussions these candidates are having?
Which topics are the most important to you?

Presidency:
Personally I do not pay much attention to Politics but I do know some basic facts and have my opinion on parts of the issue and concern. On the democratic side of the party the main two candidates left are Hillary Clinton and Bernie Sanders. For the Republicans Ted Cruz, John Kasich and Donald Trump are the main candidates. I am not really a certain supporter for any of the candidates because pretty much all of them have really big flaws that can either get our country into a lot of trouble, or send our country to destruction. Also I repeat, I do not pay much attention, so at the moment I do not think I would be fit enough to choose who I would think is the best candidate. I don't think the matter currently is tearing our country apart, it is creating some major drama, but nothing insane, at least not yet. Which is what I fear and concerns me the most, I think that a few of the candidates have the potential to make some very poor decisions. I especially don't like that basically every single major candidate has said they are to ban muslims from the United States, thats absolute discrimination and on "The Pyramid Of Hate" is not to far from becoming something much worse. Also the fact that they are focusing on the wrong things rather than the fact our country is $19 Trillion in debt and we haven't even slowed down one bit. The even larger topic is the sryian refuge crisis, the fact that many of them have the guts to even say, "we will let none in" makes me lose faith in humanity. every other country is taking in tons of people while we just sit around, when we are the ones who have the best infrastructure to support them. I really hope that the best president is chosen for our country and that nothing insane goes down, except insanely good things that benefit our country.
