Kim the Blogging Student

As you may have guessed Blogging this semester was a first for me. I felt like I must of been the only one, NOT TRUE, I found out that several people had never blogged before. I enjoyed it. I think it all worked well for me this semester. A slow start but I ended up picking up the pace. I used this site to write down my thoughts even when it was not required. My Favorite post was the part time Indian where Arnold was slit into to people. I enjoyed feeling so connected with the book. My least Favorite was hummmm...I guess label it this. I think I began building strength after the first few blogs. Do I think Id be blogging again? No probably not because the only reason it worked this time was because of you guys. I had hoped some of you would read what I had wrote. It was creative and fun.

      so, am I suppost to create a second entry for my multi media? ok this is the deal... I worked so hard for countless hours (8 or more) I had a power point presentation actually I made 2 of them but after 337 attempts to upload it in EVERY FILE TYPE I was unsuccessful .

SWEENEY TODD

Thursday 3, May 2012 EXTRA CREDIT Tonight I took myself to watch Sweeney Todd at the JC. This weekend is the last few days of this performance and I am sure glad I did not miss it. The play begins with the Judge arresting an innocent person for a crime he did not do. The stage was dark, the perfect setting for Sweeney Todd the Demon Barber of Fleet Street. The set was in the 1930's in London. The towns people are all working class and after 15 years Todd returns and vows revenge against the judge. Todd's equally as talented counter part was a women who owns a bakery, Mrs. Lovett. She is a meat pie maker and makes the worst tasting pies in London. The musical was a tragic story. The couple killed most of the towns people by way of slashing their throats. Todd is a close shaving killer who uses his blades to kill and refers to them as his arm being complete again. The show was amazing filled with chills, thrills and death. From there it goes into " My Friends." This is where it really started getting good. It became very dark and bitter sweet. Todd is hell-bent on revenge. Love was in the air for the two lovers but is over powered by the stench of blood. The visuals were great. The goth story with their terrific performances made the entire 2 and a half hour show worth watching. I found myself at times at the edge of my seat. The entire cast deserves thanks for a terrific show. I could see that alot of work had gone into the making and planning of this show. Fortunately for me this musical turned out to be charming. The song lyrics were endlessly dreadful. At times the lyrics had a black, piercing poetry to them. Along with the goth like attitudes there was a central tone of humor. For example, the cut throat that was repeated half a dozen times was exaggerated. Revenge has always provoked the worst in our behavior. In this case the revenge was killing everyone in London. The musical touched on every impulse towards evil . The audance found themselves laughing right along with Todd and Lovett as they planned on putting PEOPLE in Mrs. Lovett's pie's.

Movie Review

IRON MAN a 2008 movie staring Robert Downey Jr. HE IS THE MAN! Iron Man is an original Marvel Comic charter and as in the comic Iron Man has super powers. Tony Stark, played by Downey, is a very successful weapons maker and during a sale of a bomb he is kidnapped and held hostage. He is told to make a bomb. Instead he designed a suit capable of flying. After working on it for months Tony faces his attackers suited wearing the Iron Man suit. After defeating the terriosts Tony returns home to the USA. He is recognized as a hero. Downey does an awesome job playing the lead roll in this movie. He has charisma and style. He is funny and sarcastic and has many 1 liners through out the movie. Gwyneth Paltrow who plays Pepper Potts and Tony Starks personal assistant. She too does a great job in this movie. Both have a good scene of humor and it is displayed clearly in the movie. The similar ATTITUDES work well together making this movie a pleasure to watch over and over and over again. The AC DC album is another added bonus to already great movie. I would recommend anybody who has not watched Iron Man to get it tonight.
