Movie trailer

Movie critique



“LET’S GET ROCKING”






School of Rock is one of the most well thought out comedies I have ever seen! It was released in 2004 and it was a huge hit!

School of Rock was written by Mike White. Mike White is one of Jack Black’s best friends not just in the movie, but also in real life. (Jack Black is the character who plays in the movie, “Tropic Thunder”) Also, this movie was directed by Richard Linklater, and produced by Scott Rudin. I say all in all, this team of director’s, producer’s, and movie writer’s made one of the most memorable, and famous movie of all time.

The movie Stars are: Jack Black, Mike White, and Sarah Silverman. This was one of Jack Black’s first ever movie, and he became pretty famous because of it. Without this movie, I bet Jack Black wouldn’t be as famous as he is toady. School of Rock is about a man named Dewey Finn and his friend named Ted Schnibley which in the past, they had a rock band together. A few years ago, there band broke up, and Ted went to go look for another job. Well, everybody’s life has moved on now except for Dewey Finn. He still believes that he’s going to become a great rocker one day. So Dewey joined another band and they were doing well. But then when the years went on the other band member’s started to get sick and tired of him. So they voted him out. When he heard about this, he got really angry. But that didn’t stop him, he tried to make another band. Right now, he’s in a really bad stage in his life. He just got kicked out of his band and he also can’t pay the rent to his own apartment. So his friend keeps edging him on to pay his side of the rent, but he can’t. Then one day, when he’s the only one home, the house gets a phone call. He picks it up and it’s a director of one of the most well known and well appreciated school in the state. The director asks if Ted Schnibley is home because he’s a substitute and one of the school’s teachers broke her leg on the way to work, so they need a “sub”. So then Dewey realizes that he can do the job even though he’s not a substitute so he can just come up with the money to pay the rent. He accepts and goes to the school to teach. When he’s there “teaching” he finds out that the students he’s teaching are extremely good at playing musical instruments. So they make their own band. The objective for Dewey is to get revenge on the band that kicked him out, and also to win the Battle of The Bands. (Rock Concert)

Opinions
· I thought this movie was an excellent movie because it was so amazing how the students could play that good when they were only 10 to 12 years old.
· I also thought that Jack Black was really hilarious in this film, I thought he was at his best!
· I like the creative ideas that they thought of to put in the movie
· I like how it doesn’t copy any other movie ideas
· And also, I like that the movie has a point to it. That is to, “Keep on Rocking!”

"Weapons Revolution"



What!! What’s this? can this be? Is this true? Oh yes it is. And people of are time, its bigger and better than ever! MasterChief-117 the genetically superior highly trained super soilder has finally ended the long ever lasting war with the alien species, "The Covenant". He did it without hesitation. He defeated all of alien creatures and saved the planet from destruction. But he couldn't have done it without the help of the new weapon the marine lab scientist’s made. (The people who made MasterChief’s armor). This gun is bigger and badder than any other weapon in the whole universe!! It's called... The v mark 50 a.k.a the dog. This weapon is equipped with a grenade launcher (fired out from the mouth of the "dog") two sub-machine guns (where the "dogs" eyes are) and possibly all the deadliest weapons in the universe are attached onto 'The Dog". Without the help of this new weapon they created, he wouldn't have been able to save us all.

Biography

The person that I'm going to do my bibliography on is actually one of the band members from my favorite band, Megadeth. His name is Dave Mustaine. You might not know a lot about Dave Mustaine now, but when your done reading with this bibliography, you will know more about him more then your little baby sister or little baby brother.


Dave Mustaine was born on September 13, 1961. He is now 47 years old. He was born in La Mesa, California. His full name is David Scott Mustaine. Dave Mustaine's parents are named, Emily Mustaine, and John Mustaine. Well, when he was still only a little boy, his mom and his dad had a divorce. When they got the divorce, he mostly spent his entire child hood growing up with his mom, not his dad. They hardly saw there dad at all. When he was 15 years old, he moved out of his mom's house and rented his own apartment. During his teenage years, hestarted listening to Iron Maiden, and a lot of other heavy metal bands which then, got him into the taste of heavy metal. After he started listening to heavy metal he started to play and learn the electric guitar. And then later in his life, he joined a band called Panic. When he was in the band named Panic, and he was performing songs and doing all a person in a band could do, he decided to join the band Metallica. And that's exactly what he did. In 1981 he left his original band named Panic, and auditioned for the band named Metallica to be the lead guitarist. He found out this WONDERFUL offer by reading the daily newspaper, in the section called,” Recycle". The person who put that ad in the newspaper was Metallicas drummer, Lars Ulrich. So he went to the audition and he was getting ready to play a song with them to see if he gots the "stuff" and he was on stage waiting for them but he can hear them talking to one another in a different room. So he was tired of waiting so he just went in the room where they were talking and said, "Do I have what it takes or not"? So then they thought about it for a little while and they said, "Yeah sure, you're in" just like that, he got the gig. After he got elected to be in the band, a few years later, Dave Mustaine got kicked out of the band, for good. He got kicked out because there were a lot of bad things that he did including to the band members. One of them was that once, he brought his dog to one of the rehearsals that the band was practicing at, and his dog then jumped onto the car of the bassists of the band, Ron McGovney. When the dog did that, it scratched some paint of the car and then the bassists (Ron McGovney) got REALLY anger and shouted at the dog and then kicked it. When Dave Mustaine saw this, his face light up in anger and then he pyshically hit the bass player. After this happened, the band kicked Dave out for a day. The next day Dave asked if he could be back in the band and the band said, "Yes". Another bad thing that he did was that once he was drinking a lot, and he became drunk. He then walked over to the bassist’s bass guitar and poured a lot of beer on it. And when the bassists went to go play it, it gave the bassists a HUGE electric shock. After that incident, the band finally voted that it was time for Dave Mustaine to be kicked out of the band permanently.

After all this drama has happened, he wanted to form his own band. In 1983, that's exactly what he did do. With a little help with other people, they formed a band that shall always be remembered. They named it...MEGADETH!! From time to time they sometimes changed band members, but the present day members are named: Dave Mustaine- The lead guitar, also vocals- Chris Broderick- Also guitarist, backing vocals-James Lomenzo- The bass, also backing vocals-and the last band member is Shawn Drover- he is the drums. The first few years of the bands carrier was bad, but then it started getting a lot better. Over the years Megadeth made a lot of albums and had huge success!! That's what makes them the most rocking band ever!!
