White Christmas

From Ethan:

This movie is a family favorite at my house; we watch it every Christmas. One thing I like about the movie is Bob and Phil help the General. One thing I don't like about the movie is the way Phil controls Bob's life.

White Christmas

I really liked this movie!!! I like all the sing acting and dancing its just my thing!! it was fun to watch too! 

-Emily Manning

WHITE CHRISTMAS!!!!!!

I didn't like this movie very much. It just wasn't my type of movie. I liked the singers and dancers, but there were some parts where there should not have been singing and there was. That is what I would have changed in this movie.
See you tomorrow!

~ Whittney

White Christmas

This mavie was o.k.I loved all the singing and dancing that they did!This movie would not be on my favorites list,but it was still good.See ya :)

The Spiderwick Chronicles

This movie was pretty good! I liked this movie way more than last weeks movie. I like magical movies and stuff like that! I covered my eyes when the "dad" turned into the creapy lookin guy and then into the snake. I also screemad at random parts. I liked he flower fairys at "Aunt Lucindas" place.I think thats it! See ya round!
-Kristen

Spiderwick Chronicles

I liked this movie! I liked how at the beginning of the movie the relationship between the family wasn't very good, but how though the struggle of the book it brought them together. I love the actor Freddie Highmore and so it was fun having him in it. He was very good at expressing the character between the 2 brothers. This movie showed that their are things that we don't see and we have to be aware of our surroundings (mainly talking about the spiritual world). In all this was a fun movie and I enjoyed it lots!!!

so...... This is totally not my kind of movie. I don't think that I would watch it again. I love the little monster thimbtack or something like that. He was adorable. I like the idea of the circle around the house. Also, I could see some of the resebelence of God! The part where it says that the troll or whatever can be showed in many ways. Well, the enemy does that to us. Like there was a time where he was a snake, he pretended to be the dad, he was a old man, and many more. See you guys on friday! :)

Spiderwick Chronicles

I was just okay, not my favorit but it was good. the story line was a little wired.

I guess Would watch it again though. One thing that made it good was Freddie Highmore, he's a really good actor. I think the little monsters in the movie look like the little Mucinex monsters!!! 

-Emily Manning

Spiderwick Chronicles

From Ethan:

This movie was not the greatest, but it was still good. The story line was pretty good, and the the casting crew pickedthe right people for the characters. The guy for Jared was the best character. Hogsqueal was hilarious. Red Cap, the goblin was like, evilish, and funny. Simon was geekish smart, and their sister was a dweebhead, the mom was protective, and Thimbletack was hyper. Anyways, it was a good movie.

Ever After

From Ethan:

This movie is not the best movie I've seen, but still it is a good movie. It's a twist to the Cinderella story. But, I'm not that kind of guy, I'm an action kinda guy. So Danielle wins in the end and treats her stepmother like she treated her.

Ever After

I hav seen this movie lots of times.I liked this movie and everthing bout it.(cept the bad guy and the evil stepsister and mother)I liked this movie better than last weeks movie.( i like love stories better than any other kind of movie)The ending waz my favorite part..... well..... I guess thats all.
-Kristen

EVER AFTER

ummm......... I have seen this movie like a billion times. I like last weeks movie so much better. This movie was really sad to me, Especially when he dad dies. I don't like the step mother. She was extremely mean. see you guys on Friday!!!!!! :)

Ever After

I was okay. I did not like it that well but is was good. I don't really know what to say about it!

~Emily Manning

The Karate Kid

This movie was amazing!!! It was teeth chattering(realy it was). At first I thought I would mot like it,but in the end it was good. I liked the ending!!! it was good!
-Kristen

karate kid!

I liked where the boys are picking on Danial and then mr. Miagi comes in and saves the day. Danial did not know that mr. Miagi was the one who saved him, and at first he did not believe that mr. Miagi was the one who had saved him but he learned to trust in mr. Miagi
and i thought that was really good, I liked it alot.

The Karate Kid

I liked this movie, especially the way Daniel is taught the karate moves. The only thing I did not like was that it had some bad acting. The message was good though.

by Jeremy W.

The movie was trying to teach you that its all inside yourself. Mr. Miagi(however you spell his name) was having Daniel do all these fundamentals and training which is the best way to start. Like in the Bible the story about the man who belt his house on sand then his neighbor who built his house on rock. It is all about the foundation, the basics, the fundamentals. Daniel was a little impatient kid however i think I would be if I was in his position. I liked how Alli stayed by Daniel throughout his struggles with the bullies. She was a sweet character. This movie was good and exciting and odd. But was entertaining.

KARTE KID!!!!!!!!!!!

I love this movie............This is a movie that keeps you on the edge of your seat the whole time. I felt bad that about all the boys ganging up on Daniel. But you can tell towards the end when the boys were coming back and they looked mad..... he stopped the princable and asked him something about the history class that he was taking. I loved the way that Mr. Miogie came when Daniel was getting ganged up on, and he helped Daniel fight off all of the bad guys. Also, i enjoyed the championship the last hit was my favorite, he finally learned his balance.

:D see you all tomorrow!

Karate Kid

From Ethan:

This movie is not as good as Holes, but better than some of the other movies I've seen. Daniel Laruso was puny, puny in the beginning of the movie, but towards the end, beat the Cobras, because he knew how to defend himself. Mr. Miyagi taught him that karate was the last answer to any problem. But, the Cobras had no mercy, because they were trained that way.

Mr. Miyagi was hilarious!!!!!! He was the best. Johnny got his hindquarters beaten up by Mr. Miyagi. Mr. Miyagi is my favorite character. The movie is very good though.

Holes

I didn't care for this movie very much. However, I am glad Mrs.Clubine made the class watch it. I am still trying to figure out what it was all about in my head(which may take awhile, but thats okay!). I felt bad for Hector in this movie. Anyway.............this movie showed how if you have faith and strength you can make it through! Except not without God!

HOLES!!!!!!!!!!!!

Holes!!!!!!!! I have seen this movie like a million times. Its a great movie. I love th part when they find the treasure chest. Also the part when they are on Gods Thumb.....The mountain. Then when his parents are trying to find a way not to make shoes stink..... and they finally get it.....and the dad said "honey what do you smell" and she says "Honey I dont smell anythang" haha thats so funny. See you all 2morrow.

Holes

By Ethan Cortado:

This Movie is the BEST!!!!! Why? Because it's HILARIOUS!The story line is the best ever, with the flashbacks. Madame Zoroni was crazy. Shia Labeouf was the best actor for Stanley Yelnats(that's his name backwards right?). When Stanley stole the car, that was awesome! Then he and Zero climbed "God's Thumb" that was like, whoah. Mister Sir, was Marion Seville( dude, girl's name??) Dr. Pedanski was short, funny and got hit by Zero when he ran off. This movie is good, I really like the ending with "sploosh" that was really funny.

Holes!

I love this Movie! I really like Zero he's really nice. And Stanley i like too! 

One part i loved is where Mr. Sir said  "Once upon a time there was a magical place where it Never rained the end!" That was really funny! 

-Emily Manning

Holes

This movie was ok. I think my mom liked this movie better than I did.I liked how in the end everyone was nice to eachother and how Zero found his mom. I think the end was the best part in the movie.One of my favorite scenes from the movie was when whats her name said,"can you please just open it up to let me see whats inside", and whats his name said," Excuse Me". That was awesome to me. I think this movie was a little hatrd to follow.
-Kristen

Pride & prejudice

I did not care for this movie it was way too long.

Pride and Prejudice(Keira Knightley version)

Mr.Darcy had both pride and prejudice. At the first dance he didn't want to dance or really talk with anyone. He was prejudice toward the poorer community and thought too husky of himself at the beginning. At the movie goes on Mr.Darcy over comes his pride and prejudice and helps out the Bennett family immensely. I loved when you saw him smile!!! Elizabeth Bennett also had some pride and some prejudice towards Mr.Darcy. At he first dance she had promised herself that should never like Mr.Darcy, but she ended up marrying him. Mr.Wickam was also prejudice towards Mr.Darcy because he thought that Mr.Darcy didn't need any of that money and Mr.Darcy could give up just a little for himself. I have always disliked Mr.Collins and I love the mom and dad in this version. I am glad we watched this movie!

Pride & Prejudice

It was good. i think the pride was Mr. Darcy and the prejudice was Elizabeth. And i really liked Mr. Darcy and Jane!! This Movie was good just not my favorite.

 -Emily Manning

Pride and Prejudice (A&E Version)

From Ethan:

The 5 hour version of Pride and Prejudice is really good. Although I have seen it before, it isalways good to watch again. It is so good that you will want to watch both discs. In the movie, my favorite characters are Mr. Bennet,and Mr. Darcy. My least favorite was the mother, Mary, the Bingley sisters, and Kitty.

Pride and Prejuduce

I have not seen the Kiera Knightly version before,and I liked both the movies the same. In my opinion the A and E version had a WAY better ending. Luckily I did not cry(I cried in he A and E version).
-Kristen

Pride and the Prejidice (keira knightly )

This movie was okay. I did not see the point at the beginning. I thought that the end was the best part. This was not exactly my type of movie. Looking forward to friday!

Week #5 Pride and Prejudice

BIG QUESTION!!! WHERE IS THE PRIDE AND WHERE IS THE PREJUDICE?????

Enjoy watching this movie and I hope you all will put in some comments!

Facing the Giants

From Ethan -

This movie is so good! It is a Christian movie with good character development and godly characters. Coach Taylor is so godly in the way he coached his team. He stuck with them and encouraged them to reach their goals. It is a movie that inspires you that no matter how you are good or bad, you can still do great things. At the end, they won the State Championship twice.

Facing The Gaints

It was okay. the story line was very good but i like last weeks better. The acting was really bad but thats okay. 

-Emily Manning

FACING THE GIANTS!!!!!!!!!!!

okay..... I have seen this movie before and I love it!!!!! It was a joy to watch it again. Some of my favorite parts is when he gets the new truck, when Coach Taylor comes outside and sees everyone praying. Also, Gods faithfulness to the coaches and the team!!!!! Everything turned around when Coach Taylor decide to not play for them but to play for God!!!!! I love seeing them go to STATE and watching how the coach kept pushing them to do there VERY BEST.......... Another awesome part was when Coach Taylor made "brot" carry that guy across the whole field, when brot only thought that he was going to go to the 50 yard mark. I love this movie and cant wait to talk about it on Friday!!!!!!!

Facing the Giants

Okay, I have to admit before I had even watched this movie I thought I was going to not like it. But when the movie was over I told my Dad that I loved this movie! I liked how there were all the problems like how reality is. I liked how there were problems with a dead mouse, leaking, stove not working, car's battery dying, wanting to have kids, not winning the games, behind the back trying to get kicked off of the position as head coach. The movie had real life struggles, but through God they won! Once Grant realized that you cannot you simple can't go through life trying to find a way out or just giving up. You need, you have to have God in your life. He will help you.

In my Bible school work recently I have been learning about Jesus' life starting when he was born and all the miraculous miracles He had done. It just really hits you that You need God in life more than anything, you need to put him at the front. I loved when Coach Grant realized that life is impossible without God. I loved that he had changed the way he acted throughout the movie and you could tell that he had put his faith in front of him again.

I loved the African American coach(I forgot his name). He just reminded me of one of my old P.E. coaches at my old school. Also I loved the scene where that coach was telling David and ministering to him while encouraging him. All in all this movie was a great true story how life can be and you simply cannot succeed without God!

"I lift my eyes to the hills, where does my help come from? My help comes from the LORD; the Maker of Heaven and earth."

~ Psalm 121:1-2

Facing the Giants

I have seen this movie many times, and I always cry when the coach comes to the football field and every one is praying and asking God for forgiveness. I also "yellled" at the tv a whole lot! My grandma was making a joke saying," you'd think they learn from their mistakes the second time".
-Kristen

Week #3 - Facing the Giants

Now this has to be one of my favorite movies.

It's funny cause I'm pretty drama-oriented and this movie has pretty lousy directing. The characters, especially at the beginning, are stiff and they look uncomfortable. Most of the time people would say that the movie has terrible acting, but I blame the director.

Despite that, it is a delight to watch! It makes me laugh and cry!! I hope you enjoy it as much as I did!

I loved this movie!

posted by Jeremy W.

I liked it because it was about football and I liked how at the end it showed that blacks and whites were equal and could get along together.

REMEMBER THE TITANS

This movie is not my type. But the meaning is what is important. I like how they go from being mean and pregudice to nice and fighting for each other.

~Whittney

Remember the Titans

Remember the Titans is a movie open with choices. In the movie people had different sides and they had the choice to pick which side they wanted. I thought that Coach Boones was a little strict with them at the camp but hey how would I know because I am not a football coach. However in the end that strictness went and helped the team out. I always liked the singers in this movie and how randomly in the time of stress and people hating eachother they would just sing. One point in this movie is how Emma was talking with Gary and Gary wanted her to give Julius a chance but she had said I have picked my side or somethin like that. Then later on at the last game she went over to Julius and shook is hand. Also how Gary's mom didn't want to give Juluis a chance and how Gary said you have to give it time and get to know them and once Gary's mom had done that she liked Julius alot. Then at the funeral she was standing by Julius. I dont know why but that scene had reminded me of when Jesus was dying on the cross and He said to Peter to take care of Mary.

Remember the Titans

I loved this movie!!! Practicly all my favorites are about football(We are marshal,Facing the giants,and now Remember the titans), I cryed alot in the movie especially when Bertier got ingured ,and then he died.COME ON !!! Talk about making a girl cry!
-Kristen

Remember The Titans

Remember the titans I really liked this movie cause i love football and i like the story line. I like Louie Lastik he didn't care what color the rest of the team was.

I all so liked Hayden Panettiere she was so cute in this movie! 

-Emily Manning

Week #3 - Remember the Titans

This week it is "Remember the Titans." I almost put this on my list for last year, but it is just too perfect for football season! Make sure you post your comments!

The movie was a little weird, but i liked how Mr.Magorium's talked, and how he acted like a ten year old.

Mr. Magoriums Wonder Emporium

Well.... This movie is full of surprises! I love little Eric. He cares so much about the store and everything in it. Also, I think it was sweet how Molly made Mr.m's last day the best one. Another thing that was excited is when Henery and Molly were talking and she was saying that she believes in the BLOCK OF WOOD! and it moved. Then it started to move and move..... then start to fly.

~Whittney

Mr. Magorium's Wonder Emporium

From Ethan:

There is only one word to describe this movie, strange. I thought the movie was a little hard to follow. Eric was really funny with his hat collection, so was Mr. Magorium himself. He's not like a adult (although he is 243 years old), more like a little kid. Mahoney was just tying to get out of the job being 23 years old. The store itself was sulking in the end and then it got happy again with the block of wood. (Very interesting, I wonder who came up with that idea).

Mr. Magorium's Wonder Emporium

This movie had some significant dialogue in it. I loved the lines where Molly says to Mr.Magorium that he has to live, but Mr.Magorium said that he has lived. That can mean so much into our everyday lives. I liked the character of Eric. He has an extraordinary imagination and he didn't care what people thought of him. Eric had shown to Henry that even though you're an adult you can still live a day with pretending and using the gifts that God has given you. This movie was a wonderful description of how you just need to have faith and love in something and it becomes possible.God has put us on this earth for a reason and we need to live it to the fullest; serving Him to the best of our ability.

Jeremy W. wrote:
I thought the storyline of the movie was kind of strange. I did like the sock monkey though.

Mr. Magorium's Wonder Emporium

The movie was very good! I though it was very creative. Natalie Portman and Dustin Hoffman  are great actors!

The toy store was really cool! I wish it was reall!  I also really liked Eric, he was a good actor.  

Mr. Magoriums's Wonder Emplorium

This movie was awesome! I had no idea the movie was going to be like this. I LOVED the toy store. I wish I could work there. The little boy that played Eric is one of my favorite actores, so that made it super cool to watch.I do not like movies with "bad guys" in them so that is another reason I liked this movie.

Week #2

Don't forget to watch Mr. Magorium this week. Also, complete the wordfind puzzle for the scripture we studied last week during our Radio discussion. Bring it with you on Friday for a ticket - yes, I will have them!

Radio

The movie Radio was very exiting ,you never knew what was going to happen next.This is not a favorite but, was not the worst. In my opinion the second half was better than the first half.I was on the edge of crying when Radios mom died.I liked how in the end the kids treated him nicer. I would rate this movie a 6.

RADIO

I really enjoyed this movie Radio! This was way different then what I thought it was going to be. The coaches love for Radio was amazing. Radio was devastated when his mom passed away, but the coach helped him through it. At the beginning of the movie all of the kids were mean, but you see at the end of the movie everyone likes him. Another part I liked was when Radio gave Jonny one his radio's, as well has a letter.

Radio

From Ethan Cortado

I thought the movie was very good and encouraging. It makes you think how much mentally slow people get laughed at and how difficult it is for them to live in this world. His mom helped him get through his life by encouraging and being patient with him. Coach Jones also did the same thing by taking the time to help Radio and also encouraged many others to help Radio, too. I learned that there are many people like Radio in this world today. It made me think that though you are disabled in some way, you can get through with help from others and just being yourself. The end is very uplifting with Radio graduating in eleventh grade and how twenty-six years later, he becomes the coach of the football team. Because of that graduation his life changed forever.

Radio-My thoughts

I thouht the movie was a very good movie for discussion. Radio was a person with some disabilitties, but his mom loved him with all her heart and that didnt change the fact that he was disabled. I loved how Coach Jones loved him and shared the love of teaching and growing and learning the ability to be loved, with Radio. Also Johny's dad Frank was the 75% of what the world thinks about how ways should be. Frank thinks that everyone should be the same and that the others who are different just in little ways should be thrown out and not cared for. Coach Jones was similar to the samaritan in the parable that Jesus told. Coach Jones was like the samaritan who helped the guy who was beaten and robbed of all he had. However Frank was the other 2 people who just passed on by and didn't care about anything except himself or in this case the chance for his son to be the star player.

Radio

I thought it was a great movie.  You really feel bad for Radio.  He was played by a great actor.  The part where his mom dies and he was sitting in his room crying was really sad.

Movie #1 is Radio

Please have this movie viewed before class for Week #1!
