Prom Night

Hello once again. I know I haven't posted in almost a month but I've just been really busy. For most of you high schoolers prom it is once again Prom season. Worrying about the dress, the makeup and hair. For the guys it's more of where do we want to eat, how am I going to pay for this etc. However, Donna Kapel played by Brittany Snow in the movie prom night has not only to worry about having fun at her senior prom and making it be the best night of her life. This movie will definitely be a night she will remember forever. She had witnessed the murder of her family by a former teacher at her school who was in love with her. This former teacher recently escaped from a mental institution and is on the rampage to once again claim his love. He comes after her again, this time on the night of her senior prom. He finds her and stalks her doing anything he can do get to her and claim her once again. This thrilling suspenseful movie is sure to get almost any audience member to jump at least once.

The acting in this movie is ok, though it's not the highlight of this movie for sure. The acting is ok the part that makes it good though is it's ability to maintain the suspense even until the last scene. It's not like the grudge either where you sit there watching hardly understanding the plot and just jumping whenever something pops out from behind a door. This movie is full of surprise and suspense never failing to cause at least a couple of screams. The plot of this movie is good it's easy to follow, and the organization is great. It doesn't come right out and explain what's going on from the beginning it keeps you guessing and trying to figure out what will happen next. But then next thing you know your assumption is proven wrong. This movie is sure to get a few jumps, a few screams and even a few laughs. The laughing mainly at the young girls who come in to the movie and scream at the top of their lungs thinking they are the ones who are about to get murdered. It's quite funny.

Anyways this movie was definitely worth my $8 and probably yours to if your into scary non gory movies that will make you jump. It's not a must see in my opinion but it is definitely something to consider seeing. Just maybe not before prom if you've had any instances similar to Donna's in your life.

21

Winner Winner Chicken Dinner- 21 or Bust. It's all about the beloved game of blackjack. How to beat the system. Is it possible? In this movie the main character Ben Campbell sets out along with a few others from MIT in an exciting adventure to make a lot of money in a small amount of time using simple math. Ben however, is not in it just to get rich, he plans on using the money he makes to pay for Harvard Medical School which costs roughly $300,000. Counting cards, it's not illegal but it can get you into trouble as this group of geniuses, led by math professor Micky Rosa, soon find out. This movie is a thriller with lots of action and mystery. The characters seem to never fail in the creativity and disguises used throughout the movie.

Sounds neat right, well as some may not know this movie- 21 was originally a book. I myself have not read this book yet but would like to as I've heard only great reviews about it. Finding out after seeing the movie that it was not only a book but was based on a true story, all I can think is wow, these people must be geniuses. But really it's just simple math though I could never do half of the things they do.

This movie is full of adventure and lots of thrills adding to the overall excitement. The plot was especially good never ceasing to add to the mystery of the entire movie. It kept me on the edge of my seat throughout the entire movie thinking and wondering what would happen next only to be proven wrong in the next scene.

Overall I thought this movie was awesome. Some may disagree with me which will always happen but to me this movie was totally worth the $8 to see in theaters. It had good acting, a good plot, and most of all kept you interest throughout the entire movie. It's a great movie and I would highly recommend it for anyone looking for a new movie to check out. Though be warned it can be kind of confusing to follow when they explain how to count cards, but really it's just simple math, plus one, minus one. It's not too hard to follow just try and understand the overall plot and hopefully you'll find it as enjoyable as I did

As always, these are just my own opinions. Any comments are welcome as are any new ideas for movies to see. I'm up for anything-get creative people! All information on this blog was taken from
