News Review 3

The last news review we did was the best one yet. We set up pretty quickly and everyone was ready to start by the time the first mod was over. The anchors did a great job and so did the camera people and sound people. Even with the Mr. Maynard story in the middle, the news cast is under 8 minutes, which is a perfect time. I think I did a pretty good job, except I forgot about the radar and I still reached the wrong way sometimes. I think it is more interesting when i mess up because it makes it funny. The only mess up in the newscast was when i walked on and I wasn't on the screen.

Film Review #2

Movie Review #2
Casi Casi

   The movie that I’m doing a review on is called Casi Casi. It’s a Spanish film that takes place in a catholic school in Puerto Rico. In the movie, Emilio, the main character, has a crush on the most popular girl in school and tries to impress her by running for class President. It is supposed to be like Mean Girls, but it’s not even close. The movie was cheesy, the actors were bad, the plot made it confusing, and overall it just wasn't funny. The whole movie was cheesy from start to finish. There were lots of jokes that were supposed to be funny and witty, but they weren't. There were scenes in the movie that would just never happen in real life. In fact, the whole plot of the story would never happen in a real life high school. The actors weren't awful, but they definitely weren't good. I feel that each actor fit their character and their character’s roles well, but most of them just were not good actors. The plot of the movie made it very confusing. There were so many characters and it kept jumping back and forth to different settings, which made it very confusing and hard to follow. The technical elements of the movie were one of few good things about the movie. The setting, light, sound, music, etc. were all done well. I will definitely not watch the movie again and I wouldn't recommend it.
