Movies have been around for many years. There are so many different types like documentary, comedies, sci-fi, horror, romance, and combinations of them all. Movies have changed a lot over the years from the Wizard of Oz to new movies like Up and Twilight. Here are some of the Top 10 movies of this decade so far, Up, Finding Nemo, The Incredibles, and Wall-E. These moves are all Disney Pixar movies. They all are 3 dimensional cartoons, which is definitely popular with both children and adults. They also are both adventure and comedy which is a pretty universal genre that all will enjoy.
I recently watched some of the movie, which just came out on DVD, Up which was voted the #1 Animated Film of the year. This movie is about an elderly man named Carl whose wife passes away, he wants to have one of his last adventures fulfilling one of his childhood dreams. So, he ties thousands of balloons to his house hoping to fly to where his dreams take him. But as he sets off on his journey, an 8 year old Wilderness Explorer is at the wrong place at the wrong time and is on Carl’s front porch as it is rising thousands of feet into the air! Although, I would be excited to see this movie, I have a habit of falling asleep during every movie. So, I am still unsure with what exactly happened to Carl and Russell (the Wilderness Explorer) I am excited to eventually, hopefully sometime soon, finish the movie.
I have seen Finding Nemo and The Incredibles though. Both are definitely great movies you can watch with your family. The animation in these movies, just like with Up is absolutely incredible. Animation has evolved from simple cartoon pictures too now with now with the complicated process of making Pixar Films. On the computer, they make each character have different parts that can be changed to change what they are doing or the way the say something to make the character more realistic. Finding Nemo has especially good sets of the deep blue sea. With the school of fish, and all the different plants and sea creatures you would see in the ocean they make it very realistic. Also, in The Incredibles, all the high tech gadgets were very intricate.
A new movie that I have been absolutely dying to see is the sequel to Twilight, called New Moon. The Twilight movies star Kristen Stewart, Robert Pattinson, Kellan Lutz, Ashley Greene, Taylor Lautner, Billy Burke and Peter Facinelli. With my recently bought tickets for Friday’s opening of New Moon, I remember about a year ago when my friends and I pre-ordered tickets for Twilight. We all got picked up straight from school, reading all the magazines featured on Twilight, and anxiously waiting in line to enter the movie theater of two hundred twilight fanatics. The second showing (the first was at midnight the night before) was definitely eventful because when each of the famous cast made there first appearance on the screen the fans would cheer and it would unite every one of the different people in the theater all sharing there love and devotion for the twilight books and now movies.
"Animation has evolved from simple cartoon pictures too now with now with the complicated process of making Pixar Films" Suggestion! The two "now"s in a row confused me a bit, so possibly rewording that could make it easier to read.
I liked the description of Finding Nemo when you said, "Finding Nemo has especially good sets of the deep blue sea. With the school of fish, and all the different plants and sea creatures you would see in the ocean they make it very realistic."
I also like how when you were talking about twilight, how you said that the movie connected everyone in a way, which I think is very true whether it be a movie, band, book, or anything else.
Izzy nailed the first point I had, so I'll take it to the next level. Look here: "With the school of fish, and all the different plants and sea creatures you would see in the ocean they make it very realistic." Something tells me that you could take one more look at that sentence and know it could be much better, cleaner, more efficient, and more direct. That's true of plenty of sentences here. In most spots, you get your message across, but you could do it in a more coherent manner.
Proof before you post, and consult that big 16 sheet I gave you for some obvious areas of improvement. Oh, and don't ever put me in the place of writing about "me and my friends" as the subject of a sentence again! Ugh. That's so English teachery to correct it as "my friends and I". Double Ugh.
Your commentary in the Pixar paragraph is good, but the previous paragraph, on Up, is too reliant on summary. Use the Pixar part as a guide for your blog--analyzing what makes something work is more interesting.
