Movie Review: "12 Rounds" with John Cena

12 Rounds

by ChrisAngel

Have you ever seen John Cena in "Marine"? That movie came out in 2008.

This year John Cena starred in "12 Rounds." What happens in "12 Rounds" is Johnnie {John Cena} is trying to save his wife from this man who breaks out of prison and kidnaps his wife.

The movie is very cool: all the explosions, cars crashing, stopping a train, and all the other action make this movie a hit. The people who created this movie were director Renny Harlin, and writer Dainel Keunker.

My opinion is that John Cena is a great actor and a great wrestler. He is very good when he plays in this movie.

I recommend this movie. Last week John Cena was in "Psych". In this movie the acting was also good. I feel that John Cena was chosen to be a wrestler and an actor. I can't wait to see what he does next!

Movie Review:

"Paranormal Activities"

by ZoeMike

A couple lives in a house. But guess what – the house is haunted by ghosts! Imagine living in a haunted house. How would you feel? Now you probably know how Miko and Marty felt. They are the main characters in “Paranormal Activities.” This movie brings chills down your spine.

The movie opens with a scene in which Miko and Marty go to a new house. They get settled. When it comes night, weird stuff happens. When they wake up they see stuff misplaced. They also see a gallon of blood on the floor, and a body they don’t even know lying beside it!
Do things get worse after this? H*** yeah!! Some of the things that happen include Marty becoming possessed by a ghost, and finding a picture of a little girl who was murdered.
The acting in the movie was extremely believable.

This to me is a five-star movie. I would recommend it to anyone who likes getting killed – I mean, scared – scared as h***!!!!

Movie Review: "The Stepfather"

by Princess 14

"The Stepfather" is about a man who has different names and kills families as he goes from place to place. This movie started when he saw a woman at a supermarket with her kids. They were talking and the woman asked the man if he wanted to get pizza. He said yes. Six months later they got married. Then a boy named Micheal returned from the military. Micheal is the mother's son. He is the oldest one.

His girlfriend Kelly picked him up at the airport and they went to the backyard at his mother's house. It was a surprise party. He discovered that the stepfather is a killer. A woman next door told the mother, "Did you see America's Most Wanted last night? I think your husband was on it." Micheal goes on the internet. He sees the stepfather's and a different name. They have a fight. This is an exciting scene. They fight over the rooftops.

I think the acting in this movie was a come-back good. Dylan Walsh is the actor who played the Stepfather. He really made me think he's that evil. One thing I didn't like was the music. It wasn't scary enough.

If you are one of those people who likes thiller/horror movies, then "The Stepfather" is for you!

Bluford High: More Drama!

by Princess 14

Close your eyes and imagine that you are in Bluford High School. Your name is Tyray Hobbs. Your father abuses you. So you want a gun to even things out. People are bothering you and you want them to stop.

Or imagine that you are Darcy Wills. You break up with your boyfriend and you still miss him. Then your best friend starts going out with him

These are just two of the characters you will meet in the Bluford Series by Paul Langan.

I like these books because they have drama and you get very interested in them. You wouldn't even read another book if you start reading one of the Bluford books. Paul Langan makes you feel sympathy, frustration and so many other emotions. The characters have much more drama in their lives than I do but that's what makes the books interesting.

I discovered the Bluford High books when i couldn't find anything to read so I just picked up a Bluford High book in my English classroom. I looked in the back and I saw information about the book that was exciting. I started reading it and now I'm reading the whole Bluford series books.

I think they should make a movie about Bluford. The books are so popular and I think the movie will be popular too, just like the Twilight series.

GO GET THE BLUFORD BOOKS! =)

The Unheard Looks at The Undead

Edward vs. Jacob: whose side are YOU on?

by TwilightLover21

The story of Edward and Bella, the better version of Romeo and Juliet, Twilight is a romantic story about forbidden love and the horrors of its cast, especially between a human mortal and a vampire. Bella is a mortal who meets a vampire in the midst of high school, falling for his deep demonic and beautiful black eyes which change colors all the time. Then there’s Edward a strong and very fast vampire trying to get a glimpse of the human world. He falls for Bella and struggles against the overwhelming scent that attracts him to her. The struggle makes him go crazy.

Their love starts in junior year for Bella, although Bella and Edward are so different but so in love. Edward believes that if he keeps Bella too close, he’ll end up turning his only love to the monstrous side, a vampire. But Bella has no fear when it comes to Edward because she would rather die and become a vampire than be a mortal and grow old without Edward.

Little does Bella know that in Edward’s own eyes he’s a monster. When he thirsts his eyes are monsterious and his teeth sharpen. The look on his face screams evil. He’s stronger, so strong he can snap Bella like a twig, he’s fast so fast he’s invisible to the human eye. But to Bella that does not matter. Even though Edward sees himself as a weapon of death, Bella’s love for Edward still goes on.

The question many people are asking is: Why is the Twilight series SO popular? I believe that it is popular for a variety of reasons. People like the “Halloween” movies and vampires. They also like drama and doing stuff that they’re not supposed to, but they do it anyway. Teenagers also love romance. Stephanie Meyer put all these things together in one book.

Teenagers also enjoy arguing about who Bella should go with: Edward or Jacob.

I have a strong opinion about this question. Why would Bella even consider being with Jacob, when first of all Bella only met Jacob when she was young, therefore she doesn’t even remember him that well. Jacob is basically nothing but an old trustworthy friend of Bella. When you read the story you realize that all Jacob shows for Bella is friendship, while Edward protects Bella with all his strength and shares his life, secrets, and shows Bella just how much he cares about her even though it’s not for the best. Edward is the one that saves Bella from mischief and danger, and goes through the horrors of keeping Bella close to him while endangering himself and his secret of keeping Forks from finding out that the 17 year old god (Edward) that they all love is a blood sucking monster. But for all its worth Jacob will always be nothing but a friend, while Edward has true, unfulfilled, long lasting love for Bella that will go on for eternity. No matter how much Jacob seems to love Bella, he’ll never! love her as much as Edward loves her.

For all of you Twilight fans out there, as you can you can see I will always be for Bella and Edward forever! Now the question is, who do you think Bella should share her love with?

Okay, all you Twilight fans, now is your chance to make your voices heard! Tell us who you think Bella should choose, and why. Twilight Lover 21 will count your votes and report back to you on who "won" this contest: Jacob or Edward!

The (Slightly Less) Misunderstood Person's Journal Entry [6/3]

These past couple of days, I've been in some kind of depressive slump.

Yep, a certain someone is back, but the relief is short-lived when you find she's buddy-buddy with another guy that should be you. Best part? The irony of the situation. Someone you got a crush on, she breaks your heart into a million pieces by going out with someone else. Worst part? You can't explain in words your true feelings for that special someone in your life, because you're too g**damn late by weeks or even months. Even worse? You're probably not gonna see her again when you say bye-bye to this ****hole of a school.

That's your problem exactly, you only got 22 days to win her over and have good lovings forever and ever. (Talk about double meanings.) So, you formulate a plan in your mind; you slip your graduation autograph book on her desk, then when she sees it, pull a Rick Astley on her and bust out into some stupid love song before her BF gets the gist of what happened and goes after you.

Next step, you blog/write about how you pulled off the most awesome stunt ever. 'hey gaiz, i pulled of sumting awseom; i totally rick astey'd teh class wen she saw my grad book, tehn i kissed her on teh lips very long and bolted like hell lol!!!!1!!' Then you brag about it, both online and to your RL friends to make them feel worthless and boost your profile. Then, flirt with her in a casual way (a.k.a: just talk to her away from prying eyes, normally, so she doesn't suspect a thing) for 3 hours, so you got a thing going.

Next step, watch tons of the right kind of movies so your hormones are fired up, then invite her to your house in a casual, friend-like sort of way. Keep it that way until it's almost time for her to leave; then spill your guts out to her. She'll fall in love with you, just like in the movies, and kiss you the same way you did with her. Next, over the weekend, invite her, but this time for a sleepover. When no one is gonna be home, call her boyfriend and tell him to be there ASAP. Then, bust open the wine cabinet, and share some. (Enough to make her forget that she has a boyfriend, not really drunk.)

Next...you already know what's next. By the time you get through 10 minutes of the closest thing to heaven on earth, her boyfriend is gonna walk in, see you two doing things he thinks only he has the right to, and GTFO ASAP (50% says he'll make a dramatic speech over that before he gets out.) Tomorrow, she'll recover from a hangover, and you have all the time in the world to comfort her with your presence while she's recovering. After like 12 hours, tell her she can leave, and spend the rest doing whatever. At school, her BF will announce the break-up. Comfort her, then tell her you're willing to be her boyfriend to relieve the sorrow. She'll embrace you, and you're free to brag about it on the Internet to boost your profile even more. Congrats, you just got your crush to hook up with you within 22 days! Just remember to ask her e-mail/phone number so you can talk to her from far away.

Now I'm off to boost my profile and my manhood and get my girlfriend in one fell swoop~!
(H*ll no. I hope you can tell I'm not actually serious about the above stuff here. >_>
There's a reason why people tell you to read stuff ALL THE WAY to the end BEFORE jumping to stupid conclusions, and I do not believe that men have to make all the choices in a relationship...If you took any of the above seriously and plan to follow it, stop reading help guides on relationships and learn the difference between having a sense of humor and taking things so seriously that it might been warped past its original intention.)

Well, what actually happened made up for my bad days. School didn't suck as much as usual, the girl I liked actually signed an autograph in my grad book, and I found something interesting in the library to read. Also, the tests weren't as hard as usual. (read: what people made them out to be.)

If that's how the Regents will be for the next subjects and all, then i guess I don't need to worry about them so much, tbh. (I get the feeling that I'm starting to sound cocky here...) Anyway, that's it for now.

FMs -- The Good, the Bad...and the Annoying

Tewwy Blogs About the Pros and Cons of Using an FM System at School

With FM units, you have to make sure you find someone in the school that you really trust in order to store the unit. You can’t take it home, and you have to make sure that it’s in a safe place so that you can charge it overnight. It has to be someplace accessible so you can get it in the morning when you first come to school. It’s a very expensive item, so you have to be very careful with it.

When I had my FM unit with my guidance counselor it was hard because sometimes she might leave early and I wouldn’t be able to get into her office with my hearing aids and my FM unit. So I had to find somewhere that’s always open, that’s always accessible so I could always get in to get my equipment. Otherwise you have no choice but to take it home with you, which you’re not allowed to do.

It’s hard, because sometimes you don’t remember until you are already downstairs at the end of the day, and you have to go all the way back upstairs – depending on where you stored it – to find that the person is not there anyway.

I had one teacher that kind of fussed about it – what is this, why do I have to wear it? Then I explained it, and he understood. All my other teachers understood and they were fine with it. You have to explain the benefit of it – that it will help you do better in their class.

I have left it in one class and started to go to another, and my teacher followed me down the hallway with it!

The FM is more useful in classroom situation where there’s a lot of group work going on, and the teacher is still talking or the class is noisy and you need to hear the teacher. On some sets you have different buttons to let you hear at different levels: the one with the line at the type narrows it down to the teacher’s voice alone, so it makes it easier to hear the teacher over the noise in the classroom.

If I was going to build a better FM, I would make it much smaller because it’s kind of weird looking on the teacher. I think a smaller unit would make the teacher more comfortable, and the student more comfortable.
