Big Mommas: Like Father, Like Son (2011)

'FBI agent Malcolm Turner and his stepson Trent go undercover at an all-girls performing arts school after Trent witnesses a murder'.

I saw the trailer to this on TV a few times and found it quite funny so i thought it would be a worthwhile trip to the cinema. I went to see it last week Saturday on the 19th. To be honest it wasn't quite what i expected it to be. I preferred the first one better. Although it did make me laugh a little it wasn't as funny as the first two.

Here's the trailer:



By the way i didn't go to see this out of choice, i had to look for a reasonable film to go and watch because of my 10 year old cousin.

The butterfly effect on E4 wednesday 16th february

I just watched the butterfly effect and decided to blog about it straight away whilst all my thoughts are fresh in my mind. Although its a little confusing and takes a bit of time to get into if you concentrate and keep up with what's going on its actually a really good film. It sure makes you think a lot and raises many questions. One question I kept asking myself was is this a dream or is it real? This is because the film jumps to different times and situations which is why it may be difficult for people to keep up with. The film mainly uses flashbacks often throughout the whole thing.

Its about a boy named Evan Treborn who grows up in a small town with his single, working mother and his friends. Evan suffers from memory blackouts where he suddenly finds himself somewhere else, confused. Everytime Evan finds himself somewhere else its always in a different confusing situation. His friends and mother hardly believe him, thinking he makes it up just to get out of trouble. As Evan grows up he has less of these blackouts until he seems to have recovered. Since the age of seven he has written a diary of his blackout moments so he can remember what happens. One day at college he starts to read one of his old diaries, and suddenly a flashback hits him like a brick!

I actually got a headache watching this and trying to understand what exactly was going on only because it made me think a lot. I do think its a great film to watch though. The way its all been put together is clever. Some scenes are really emotional and sad I nearly cried a few times but I managed to hold back the tears so now my throat hurts a little!

"WHAT'S THE POINT OF MEDIA EDUCATION?

Every now and again, usually at 'A' level results time, you get media coverage attacking the subject of Media Studies. David Buckingham's excellent presentation from the Media Magazine conference gives an overview of these attacks and offers some strong rebuttals of them. It happens at all levels, though, with people arguing that students shouldn't be 'wasting their time' with the media but should be learning to read and write and add up, whether it be children in primary schools, English in KS3 (last year's story about a school teaching about The Simpsons), at GCSE and A level ('dumbing down' when you supposedly should be doing Science and Languages) and even at university (where supposedly graduates in Media are heading for jobs in fast food outlets and nothing better).

Often Media teachers are put on the back foot trying to defend the subject from these attacks. A new project, which I am jointly co-ordinating with Jon Wardle from Bournemouth University, seeks to offer the opportunity to set out an agenda for studying the media, by asking a range of academics, teachers and others to write their own 'manifesto for media education'. We already have contributions, among others, from Henry Jenkins, David Buckingham and David Gauntlett and are adding more every week. We are keen to add the views of students, either as comments on the articles already there, or as full pieces, if you want to write one. We already have one video contribution from students which we will be adding to the site shortly, so if you'd rather make a video about your reasons for studying the media, that would be fine too!

Anyway, check it out, read the articles and see if you are inspired to respond- all welcome!"

Very Disturbing!

I can't get over any of the Saw movies i personally think they should be banned because i don't understand how anyone can come up with so many different ideas of torture. These movies aren't even scary their just really gruesome and can put ideas into sick peoples minds.
