Art show - Tempest

All these films in the artshow were really good. My favourite films were Hoop There It is, and The Box. When you watch The Box, you're not sure what is going on but as soon it gets to the end you will understand the whole concept of it. This film is basically telling us to live life outside the box not doing the same boring routines everyday. It was pretty cool to have our streeters screened as everyone got to see their responses to our question. I was satisfied with what I saw as everyone did a great job with their films. I think it is a different experience showing your films to an entire audience because your are not sure whether they like it or not. You could tell that a lot of hard work was really put into them.

Avatar and CG

With all these new advancements especially 3D and Cg imaging, I think this is really amazing. This creates a lot of new dimensions to film but the downside is the cost. 3D would really come in handy if they applied it to gaming. This would be so cool and interesting to play. Another downside is that actors/actresses may not even be needed as they could be replaced by computers. Avatar was really a good movie because the animation and graphics were just simply amazing. The planet's environment was really nice to see as well as a mix of Cg imaging with real life actor/actresses. After watching this trailer, it reminded me how good this movie was.

2009 vid mash up

There were so many good films that came out during 2009. The films that i recongnized were: The Dark Knight, Inglorious Basterds, Cloudy With a Chance of Meatballs, Up, Night at the Museum, Law Abiding Citizen, Twilight, Avatar, G.I. Joe, Zombieland, A Christmas Carol, Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen, Zombieland, Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince, and Public Enemies. The movie that really caught my attention was Inglorious Basterds. Quentin Tarantino has done it again. He as never failed to impress me with his movies. This movie was just really good since it had action and comedy. The acting was great and was very believable. This movie was unique in its own way although there was a lot of talking, Inglorious Basterds was an exciting movie

Consumerism

What is consumerism? Consumerism is basically the excessive consumptions of material goods and services. The result of consumerism is materialism. I think we are all attached to getting the latest game, phone, computer and so much more things. We have lost a sense of what life is really like. Now a days its all about getting the latest stuff that celebrities have. Consumerism has resulted into a lot of problems such as financial, environment and poverty. A good quote that stuck to me was, "You work in a job you hate, to buy stuff that you don't need, to impress people that you don't life." No material thing will ever last so its better to have experience over possessions. Just remember to know your limits and ask yourself if you truly need this product.
