the renaissance fair
And today we talk about the renaissance fair I went on October 27,2009 and it was my first time going. This fair sucked there was nothing to do besides walk in store-to-store there were some rides but most for little kids. Some of the actors they hade there did a really good job talking like we where still in that era but others acted like they didn’t want to be there. And don’t go on student’s days they close al the good stuff. There was no armory no swords and all the people could not where there normal costumes because they were not school appropriate. So maybe it was just the day we went but to me it sucked. Although I did have this one conversation with this lady that worked at an armory store and she said that it is much better if we come on a regular day so I might try that but to me this 3 hour ride there and back was not worth it at all…..

Psycho

hey smallzzzz here,
and im going to tell you about the movie Psycho
This movie was made in 1960 and was one of the best slasher movies if seen. This movie was not scary at all but was good because you don’t know who the killer is. This movie was very suspenseful about what’s going happen next and whose going to die and live. This movie was about a women (played by Janet Leigh) taking 40,000 from her boss and making a run for it. But then she gets tired and stops at a hotel and there turns out to be a killer there that was crazy. He lost his mother but never lost her in spirit and so one minute he could me his normal self then the next he could be acting like his mother. If you want a movie to compare this movie a one movie that took parts from this movie was scream. But I liked this movie because it pretty much inspired most of the slasher flicks we see today. And every time I see this movie it gets better and better. So from what I saw I give this movie 9 out of 10 stars!!!!!!!

"Hush"
Hey smallzzzzz here,
So this episode of Buffy the vampire slayer is called Hush mainly because in the first five minutes of the show the characters voices get lost and don’t come back till the last five minutes. The reason Joseph Hill "Joss" Whedon made this episode to show that he can make a good show with out any dialog. But my favorite line I this episode Is right before they loose there voices a little girl was singing: Can't even shout, can't even cry
The Gentlemen are coming by.
Looking in windows, knocking on doors,
They need to take seven and they might take yours.
Can't call to mom, can't say a word,
You're gonna die screaming but you won't be heard.
But theses monster that are coming to take their heart is based off a fairy tale but what I like about this song is that it explains everything like when they say the first line cant shout cant cry that means they lose there voice. And when they say the gentlemen are coming by that means that somebody’s coming by but no one knows whom. They need 7 they might take yours they need 7 harts and the will kill you. Your ganna die screaming but you wont be heard you can scream but you wont be hard. Bur this show was the best one of the Buffy series yet because it shows how other people react when you can’t talk. So yep I give this show a 9 out of 10 and recommend it for anyone of any age.

"Hush" Buffy The Vampire Slayer
The episode "Hush" was pretty crazy because they used silence to show a different sense of fear. The fear of not being able to scream or talk when being attacked is pretty scary. Basically what happens is that all the people in Sunnydale lose their voices.
The episode starts with the main character having a very intimate daydream about some guy in her class when she forsees a creepy dream of a girl singing a creepy song.(very familiar to nightmare on elm street creep out song)
Beginning of the episode starts with Buffy having trouble talking to a guy and Willow having trouble talking to the girls in her witch group.
The episode starts out with everyone goin about their daily lives until one night some very strange people show up. The whole time these guys are perfectly silent. The only thing that really happens is that a bunch of air is taken from everybodys mouths.
In the morning buffy and her friend willow realize that their voices are gone. Everyone seems really depressed because they can't speak. Mostly everyone is trying to figure out whats going on.
The suspicions kick in when a news report from a nearby town shows that the missing voices seem to be just in Sunnydale. Giles the professor that helps buffy does some research on the occurences.
The next night a random guy wakes up to realize someone is at his doorway. He opens the door where he is attacked by one of the strange beings and is held down by two guys wrapped in straight jackets and faces covered in bandages.
That morning buffy and her friends are given a slide show on the strange occurences where Giles shows them that he knows what they are. Buffy and Willow have whiteboards so they can communicate. Giles also explains that only the princesses scream can stop the Gentlemen.
Unfortunately no one can talk.
Giles figures out that they are fairytale creatures called the Gentlemen. Giles explains that they take hearts until they have 7. He also tells them that Buffy has to patrol that night for everybody.
That night the Gentlemen come back for more hearts and some find Buffy where she runs to escape. That one guy Buffy likes gets attacked by the Gentlemen too. Meanwhile Willow wakes up to hear a knocking down the hall. The strange girl from Willow's witch group goes to answer a door and it is one of the Gentlemen holding a heart.
Buffy fights some of em off where she meets up with her boyfriend or whatever and they kiss cause they found each other safe. Willow helps that on chick get away as they run away from the Gentlemen they find a room to hide in.
Buffy is getting closer to trapping herself as she moves up a corridor to a clock tower. The Gentlemen all start to close in on Buffy and her dude. Willow and her friend manage to avoid the gentlemen by blocking the door with their witchcraft.
So near the end Buffy finds herself outnumbered and she is about to get killed but where her boyfriend destroys a box and Buffy is able to scream so the gentlemen's heads explode. The END
Nosferatu
The movie Nosferatu was the beginning of the vampire era. This movie was made in 1922 and was a silent film. From my point of view I thought that this movie was boring and I couldn’t sit still during the whole movie. But in the time era it was made this movie was suppose to be extremely scary, some people couldn’t go to sleep after they watched this movie and they also used to wake up in the middle of the night and see Nosferatu standing in the middle of there room. The movie to me was extremely boring but mostly because it was a silent film.
But I do think that the actor that played this blood thirsty vampire stayed in role the whole time they said that after they were done filming that he was still in role and would scare the crap out of people. So I recommend this movie for vampire lovers and silent film lovers just so you can see how this vampire era got started. So check it out but trust be BEWARE!!!!!!

Blog On Nosferato
The movie "Nosferatu" is about a relly creepy vampire.The movie starts with a guy going to transylvania to go for job oppurtunity when he finds out his host is a something he cannot explain. Basically the reason the guy is getting attacked by the guy cause he chooses to explore the dangers of the unknown. The main thing to help him out is a book that explains the nosferatu. The ironic thing is that the guy wife winds up having visions of the Nosferatu trying to creep up on her husband at night. Parts of the movie also explain how the Nosferatu sleeps and how he taken from place to place.

Night of the living dead (1960)

Hey smallzzz here:
I watched this movie yesterday and thought this movie is stupid; it sucks and is so fake. Then I realized I watched one of the greatest movies of all time, this movie started the zombie genre and survivor horror movies. The movie I watched “Night Of The Living Dead” This movie was made in 1968 and was directed by George A. Romero.
The reason I thought this movie sucked is because it looked all fake like when the zombies bit someone it was all fake big time and it was only in black and white. Then I remembered that this movie was made long ago and that they didn’t have much technology. So I give this movie an 8 out of 10 stars. This movie was the first ever zombie movie and was the movie that started the zombie genre.
The movie was about a group of people that all meet in one house each has different ideas about what to do but the leader of the house is Ben (Duane Jones) and he takes control. This movie is how they survive but each one starts to die. The only one left at the end is Ben but them comes the shocking ending.
The part that I found interesting about the movie is that they didn’t call the zombies zombies in the movie instead they called them assassins or ghouls. I also like how the movie started in the cemetery because it resembles death and the zombies are dead so that’s cool. And like most movies it didn’t take the zombies forever to come into the picture they came right in the beginning. And I like how each person dies.
Over all I have to say that this movie was good for the year it was made. And I recommend this for any zombie freaks to show them the movie that started the era, and for any old people who like black and white scary movies, and shocking endings.

Night of the Living Dead Review
The movie Night Of The Living Dead is about how the undead pretty much start showing up out of nowhere. The main thing is that they never use the word zombie exactly because this film was one of the first movies to show the undead. The movie was a good movie considering its time but it had its flaws such as; poor lighting and camera angles, and all the acting was very poor but good considering its time.
The movie theme is that society is suffering because of all the advancements they are trying to go for and the consequence is a radioactivity that brings the dead to life. The movie starts with a lady named Barbra and her brother visiting their dad's tombstone. Barbra's brother is trying to scare her and ironically their is something to be afraid of when a random guy actually starts attacking her and her brother.
The girl winds up escaping by taking the parking brake off and rolling into a tree, then runs through the woods into a house.(the house just so happens to be there) Then, of course the house is open so she finds herself some shelter. She sits on a couch and some guy named Ben comes through the front door. He trys to calm her down as he tries to explain that she needs to help him board up the house. Ounce night actually comes there is like 5 undead people outside the house and the girl flips out and start wanting to save her brother who is obviously dead by now.
So Ben knocks her out with a backhand her out cold because she is literally going insane.
Barbara aka the loco chick wakes up and freaks out again cause now there is like 5 people in the house seeking shelter now. Judy and Tom are a couple, as well as Harry and Karen Cooper, who have a sick little girl in the basement.(basement children are never a good sign)
So Ben and Harry Cooper are having a dispute over whether the basement downstairs is safer than being upstairs. So Ben pretty much tells Harry that everyone is safer upstairs and if he really wants to he can stay in the basement.
Then Ben, Harry and everyone else decide that they need to see the tv for further action. So there next move is to get a truck that Ben had, fill it with gas by the barn and the take off to go find a safer place to be. This plan goes horribly wrong, Ben has to save Barbara from the undead people(numbers are now in like the 20's or 30's cause they accidentaly catch the truck on fire and Tom gets blown up. They rush back to the house where the undead figure out how to pick up sticks and start to actually break open the sealed up doors and windows.
Tragedy ensues when the when(while trying to hold the doors from being broken) Barbra gets yanked out the window by her brother who is of course undead. Ben has to stop Harry Cooper from closing the basement door and dooming them all, so he has to shoot him dead. Harry Cooper goes downstairs to save his daughter even though he is dying and Judy is already dead cause of the undead. Karen Cooper goes downstairs to realize her daughter is awake but is undead and she gets shanked to death with a mini shovel.
Final parts is that Ben makes his why to the basement as undead fill the house and shoves aside the Cooper's undead daughter. Ounce downstairs he has to decapitate Karen and Harry Cooper who come back to life because of the radiation. Day comes and Ben heres someone outside of the house, so he goes to investigate. Turns out to be the Search and destroy people killing the undead. Thinking Ben is a one of the undead they shoot him dead.
Yes the ending is depressing. ``````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````

Blogggin On Youtube
Blogging In Plain English
The first video that i watched was Blogging In Plain English. This short video is a great way to help you understand what blogging is all about. I found this movie boring but helpful it showed me what i was doing wrong with my blogs and how to fix them. So if you decide to start a blogging page make sure you check this video out.
Back Of The Mike
This next short movie was very very boring like i never want to see this movie again. This movie is about an old sit com, it shows how they first started out and how they made everythang. I do not recomend this movie for any young people but old people might find this interesting because most of them listen to sit coms just like this when they were young.
Zombies In Plain English
This is one of the best short videos i have ever seen it was very funny and i loved every part of it. This movie shows what you should do if zombies attack. This movie has very good information in case zombies do attack like zombies cant swim so a boat would be nice. I also recommened this movie for any young people or old who have a sense of humor.
Great Tasting Americano
This is a stop animation clip and very funny. I would love to meet the guy that made this it is an awesome clip and brings out how cool stop animation can be. This clip is about a little card bord character that steals a car and goes on a wild police chase all for a good cup of coffee. I recommend this movie to all ages but especially for young people.
Food Fight
This is probably the best clip out of all five. I loved this clip it shows everything from world war two to present day. Except it dosen't show people it shows the food that the countries are known for like for America, they have a burger and chicken nuggets. I recomend this movie for all ages if you can understand what the food represents.

Blog On Some Fun Youtube Videos
So the video "Blogs in Plain English" is about the basics of making a blog. Whether you are reporting something or you are just trying to share your opinion on something. Personally, I thought that this blog was slightly entertaining because he had pictures for everything he was saying but I think there could have been more funnier about certain aspects. Like how he explained the information was very plain but I guess that is sort of the joke.
The video "Back of the Mike" was a pretty entertaining movie because you get to see how radio shows perform and how people can picture this in thier head when they hear it. The radio guys basically are telling a story about a lady's husband geting kidnapped and use a bunch of random stuff to make it sound like its real. Overrall this video is interesting to watch but not the best.
The video "Great Tasting Americano" was a good stop motion video of a Grand Theft Auto spoof. The video goes through dressing, stealing a car, and getting coffee. The video would be like a 4 out of 10 because it is only partially entertaining. If you enjoy short little joke videos then this one is ok.
In "Zombies in Plain English" is basically advice on how to survive a zombie attack. The pictures the guy draws are pretty entertaining and the stupidity of zombies actually attacking is ludacris. The video has a couple of funny jokes that make it worth watching. I think this video is worth watching if you enjoy a little retarded joke every ounce in a while.
The "Food Fight" was a random entertaining exploding food video. This was probably the randomest but is fun to watch the things that happen and what each food resembled what weapons. The video is fun to watcch and if you don't like it thats fun but at least take a look because its humorous.

White Guys Cinema' review
To review Nicks (one half of White Guys Cinema) review on Dr. Horrible's Sing-Along Blog. I think that he did a good job on this review he gave a brief summary on this movie and gave some of the actor’s lines from the movie. I liked that he told the audience who the actors where and the parts that they played.
One of the parts that he could have done better because when he said that this movie deserved an 8/10, I would like to know e said it was funny. I would like to know why it was funny, what made this movie different than every other film. Because when he said “It was one of the most unique films I've seen in quite a while” what makes this film different.
But other than that you should check out his review.
A review on Mask from Mask in Pham!
I’m going to talk about Mask’s(aka momo's) review on “Welcome to Macintosh”. This is one of the best reviews for this documentary that I have seen yet. She told you why she thinks that engineers are retards. ("Engineer's are retarded. They have some kind of brain damage that allows them to not have social skills so that they could concentrate long enough to write code. But it's a disease".)She told you what she thought was good and bad about the movie.Like when Mask said " this movie is not worth paying for".
The part that I liked most in her review was when she told us what the movie was about. She didn’t give just one or two sentences she gave us almost three paragraphs about this movie.But in those three she showed the interviews and the people they interviewed but most inconstantly what the movie was about.She did a really good job and I can’t wait to see what she reviews next. So, make sure to check out Mask and movie reviews.
