Movies

 I have had a great year or should I say eighteen weeks working for my school newspaper staff. Sadly that time of the year has come when it’s time for summer vacation. Well actually it’s not that sad because there is no more school but the part that is sad is not seeing your friends every day. So to sum up my semester with the Husky Pawper I am going to write an article about my beat: Movies in Reviews! I wrote a total of eight articles for reviews on movies. It was so much fun learning stuff about movies that most people don’t know and informing them about it. My first article was P.S. I Love You. A romantic comedy about a woman who loses her husband and he helps her through the first year without him. She starts off not knowing what she wants to do with her life and soon with the help of her husband, becomes a shoe designer. This movie would make you laugh and cry and laugh again. My second article was a biography on Reese Witherspoon. A girl who started acting very young and has progressed wonderfully over the years. My third article was about Step Up 2: The Streets. A sequel to Step Up which came out in 2006. A rebellious street dancer attends the prestigious Maryland School of Arts and finds herself merging her old life with her new one when she meets Chase, the hottest dancer at school. CSI: Miami never leaves a case unsolved. I guess with that clue you can guess what my fourth article was. A crime scene investigation team will do anything to catch a killer. Their team includes Lieutenant Horatio Caine, Eric Delko, Calleigh Dusquene, and Ryan Wolfe. A big night for the actors and actresses is the Academy Awards. The Oscar that is given out each year has been around and evolved since 1927. That is a very long time. The awards have recognized and honored over 6,000 motion picture artists and craftsmen. That was the fifth article. Now it’s time to go around the world for my sixth article. Well actually the guy in the movie Jumper goes around the world. He can do it in a matter of seconds too. So this guy, David, he comes for a family of jumpers, and that’s what they call themselves. He can teleport anywhere at any time. He soon finds himself trying to escape a deadly game of cat and mouse with these men who have been set out to kill jumpers. This thriller will keep you on your feet. Horton Hears a Who is article seven. He was a hit in box offices. An elephant named Horton hears a cry for help coming from a tiny speck of dust floating through the air. It so happens that the speck of dust is home to the Whos that live in Whoville. Horton agrees to help these people and he will do anything to make sure that they stay safe. After all a person is a person no matter how small! Sadly it’s time to end it with my eighth article. I have to say that this was my favorite article to write, shortly after I wrote this article I went and saw the movie! Two words: Fan-tastic, okay well that’s one word but it was the greatest movie. Prom Night is the name. I actually cried in this one it wasn’t really as scary as I thought it would be. One thing it did do is keep you on your feet and wanting more! A girl named Donna has had some rough high school years but now it’s time for her senior prom and she is ready to put the past behind her. But the man that caused her horrible past isn’t! He takes everything that is precious to her and only leaves one other person besides her, her best friends’ boyfriend. This is a great, sad, and thrilling movie. So that’s it. I have had a great time writing for the Husky Pawper this year. I am sure it will be back next year and better than ever! Have a Wonderful Summer everybody!
