SkyFall

The new James Bond movie SkyFall was great. To me and many more fans it was the best movie out of the series yet. From the effects to the story it was fantastic. This movie kept you at the edge of your seat the whole time and was always exciting. Although this could be the last of the James Bond movies they would be ending on a good note. I am very happy I saw this movie and I recommend it to anyone.

Three Things

Three things I wish I had known about Baseball are mostly how to be prepared for watching a proffesional game. These are three things I wish i had known before I became a fan and I hope it will help you.

  1. First of all you should bring warm clothes because most of the time it’s pretty cold there, also you want to wear your teams apparel for example,  if your favorite team is the san francisco giants you can wear a giants sweatshirt, t-shirt, or hat. If you dont have any of your teams apparel you can either buy some at http://shop.mlb.com/home/index.jsp or at the stadium where they have multiple stands filled with clothes for your team. You can also  just wear your teams colors, for example orange and black.
  2. The second thing I wish I had known was to bring a lot of money. Most of the time the  food, drinks, etc, are very expensive. Another thing you can do is bring your own food or drinks.
  3. The third thing I wish I knew about baseball when I first became a fan was the palyers and how the game worked. It isn’t much fun watching a game that you don’t understand which is why it might be good to either ask a friend or a parent,”who is on the giants now” or ask them questions during the game like why was that and out, etc. You can also check online to look at your favorite teams roster http://mlb.mlb.com/index.jsp, or you can watch sports shows so you can understand the game better.

Those are the three things I wish I had known about going to a baseball game and I hope it helps you.

Wes Craven

Wes Craven is an American film director, writer, producer, actor, and perhaps best known as a director of many horror films. Craven is arguably the best horror film maker ever. He has made various movies such as Nightmare on Elm street, the new and old Scream series, and The hills have eyes series, and also the last house on the left.  Craven made two of the most copied horror movies with ease, The hills have eyes and the last house on the left. What makes Craven innovative is that he made all of these movies without even breaking a sweat, and he not only made the originals of all of the most popular horror films today, but also the remakes which were made in the last 6 years. These movies are The hills have eyes series, the nightmare on elm street, The last house on the left, and the Scream series. These films are some of the top scary movies in the country. In addition to Craven’s horror films, he also has made many other films such as music of the heart, with popular actress Meryl Streep. Wes Craven is a fantastic director, writer, and producer, in addition to hi great horror films.  I am glad This man is alive to make all of these great films, and I know he isn’t done makng movies and will come out with many more horror films to keep people at the edge of their seat, scared out of their mind.

Hopes for Drake Highschool Cafeteria

My schools cafeteria is okay. Although some of the food is good, they don’t have much variety and most of the food looks pretty fake. I know students also have the option to go out for lunch or even bring lunch from school, but it is also nice to not having to worry about remembering to pack a lunch or bring money from home. At the cafeteria all you have to do is type in your student ID if you have money on your account and then you can get any lunch you want there. Although I like the cafeteria, here are some improvements it could make.
1. Have more variety, not the same thing everyday
2. Lower the prices on food (A slice of pizza shouldn’t be $5)
3.Prepare the food better (Alot of the time the bread on the pizza isn’t cooked long enough and is soggy)

Paranormal Activity 4

Paranormal Activity 4 is going to be one of the scariest movies of the year. They have already succeeded in scaring millions of people around the world with their previous three movies, but I think this one will be their best movie yet. It uses great filming to make it seem like they used real footage and to make it seem like it actually happened. They also used either Skype or  FaceTime through a computer, this relates to modern day teens which will also make the movie seem more real and also scary. I’m very excited to see how this movie turns out, but for now I have high hopes.
