Rainbow Six Vegas

So I bet everyone has pretty much played a video game before in their life right?! Its pretty impossible not too! Well I have a younger brother whos currently in grade nine and he is actually obessed with X-Box 360... and Tom Clancys "Rainbow Six Vegas". Its about a terrorist (whos name is Irena Morales, surrprisingly a woman) who has a bunch of mercenaries and they are taking over Las Vegas, and its up to Logan Keller and his crew to stop them, without tipping the balance of power in favor of the bad guys.

Doesn't sound all that amazing now does it... I can see the appeal to men... Hummmm explosions, weapons, combat? But truely... the game is pretty well made. The graphics are astounding, the music really plays to the mood because it is composed specifically for the game by the boston orchestra. I however do not see how someone could play it for hours on end, and then do it again the next day and for the rest of the month for that matter. My brother has a broken hand and still somehow manages being able to play.

You know when you pick up a great book but you just can't seem to put it down? Do we consider that an addiction? And if we don't, why do we not? Because really an addiction is when you cannot stop doing something. What effects can reading Harry Potter or Romantic Novels have on a person? Someone could actually believe its real right? But playing violent video games could lead to a violent lifesytle?! Is it wrong for our generation to like the stimulation of simulations and the possiblities that that simulation could be eventually become real? Does it actually lead to lower grades, and bad people... Or are these just excuses!?

Movie Review

The Usual Suspects

So we recently watched a film in media called "The Usual Suspects",which is a mystery, and was produced in 1995.

It is about 5 young gentle men that are arrested for hijacking a truck and when none of them can be convicted on lack of evidence they are released back to the world. Later on they find that they have each wronger the criminal mastermind "Kaiser Soeze", and are blackmailed into destroying a drug carrying ship, knowing that there is a possibility of death. With the boat blown up and all 27 criminals dead,there are only two survivors... Who is the culprit? Who really is Kaiser Soeze?

I give this movie one thumb up out of a possible two. I give it this rating because the story is impecably well written and each actor really plays their role well. I think the downside to this movie is that it really is a product of its time period. The ending was simple and very predictable; They make you believe that it's one character who is the criminal when really it was another character. Leaving me rather dissappointed at the ending. But up to that point it was pretty darn good. Drugs, killing, explosions, secret romance, underdog... It portrays a lot of themes instead of just one.

Are You Smarter Than a Fifth Grader?!

I wasn't sure if it was just me but I really love this show... Its like millionair and somewhat like jeoprody. But the best part is... its fun, because you can sit at home and watch the show but actually have a blast trying to play. There is one contestant and 5 fifth graders, you choose one them, and you go through a series of questions (not multiple choice) and you have the option to peek, copy, or drop out and take the money. Its on every Thursday night at 8 on FOX. So Are you smarter than a fifth grader!?

I Blame The Market...

So by now you all know my topic for the documentary is "Preteens dress to inappropriate". And throughout all the interviews we've conducted and through my own opinion I've found that preteens are dressing the way they are because of what is on the market. Not because its cheap, not because their friends have influenced them but because of the market. I took the time to personally browse the stores at the mall and all there seemed to be was short skirts and shorts, clothing with provocative writing, low cut tops, and belly shirts. It is my beliefe that preteens are purchasing these articles of clothing because for there age group that is all there is to buy. I think if the markets start a revolution and implement more suitable clothing into their store it will largely decrease rape and the amount of children missing. Preteens will have a positive outlook on life, and have more self esteem.

...Just curious.

The other day I was watching the show "Style Her Famous"... do you like the title ahahaha. It's about taking women that are not fashionally inclined and making them look like their favorite celebrity. Don't get me wrong celebs are good looking but... they don't look all that nice normally. They have teams of maybe 10 or more people to make them look the way they do. It's not impossible to do it yourself but it deffinatly never turns out how you want or expect. I just don't quite understand why we need to be anybody else but ourselves?! Is it because of fear of rejection or humiliation? Or is it just human nature to want to be someone different?

Il Divo

Women... What would you want in a man? How about uber gorgeous looks, mezmorizing voice, and impecable style. Ladies just you wait, theres four of them and they are on the rise to the top. No matter what your age, or nationality, Il Divo is amazing. Il Divo is italian for "Devine Male Performer", and that is exactly what they are. The sensational operatic pop group was formed by none other than Simon Cowell, and is signed to the Sony BMG music label. The names of these fantastic men are Sebastian, Carlos, David and Urs (from left to right). Their variety in backrounds allows Il Divo to sing in all different languages; Latin, Spanish, English, Italian and French. They have the appeal of Gucci models and the heart of a hopeless romantic. Every girl wants one of the men from Il Divo for their birthday I know I do! <3

"Points"

So I was at my friends place yesterday and he was talking to his dad about how many points he has?! Me being curious asked "What is all this points stuff you talk about?" He replies: "Ohh well you get points by running over animals on the road, the bigger the animal the more points you get. Like a partridge is worth 50 and a chipmunk maybe 10 so right now im beating dad because I got 2 chipmunks and a partrige, dads got a snake." I am absolutely speechless... Honestly who could kill an innocent animal like that, and it's not like it's an execution, it's torture. Do all these hunting shows invoke teens to make up games based on road kill? They can't get guns but they can get cars!? It's a disgusting and vile game that should have never taken place at all.No living creature should be subject to this. Am I the only one that feels this way!?
