Movie Review: Django Unchained
In the American United States, whether something is cool or lame is based on things called trends. Say, for example, you start wearing a cute top with bows on the straps because your friends were wearing them and so you figured you might as well get one, too. This is an official trend because it’s cool to wear because you and your friends are cool. But, then, pretend that some girl named Jenny H. that sits in your Econ class asks you where you got that shirt, then shows up the next day wearing it–you don’t want to even wear that shirt anymore. So, now, that cute, trendy shirt just became super lame and not trendy. This is an example of how trends ebb in flow. Everything from your computer, to your phone’s apps, to what you wear and type of guy you date is a trend. Even back as far as caveman days, trends were nature’s way of balancing what is cool. Ex: Regular human cavemen = cool, ugly Crogmagnon cavemen = lame.
Even cavemen ladies knew that trends made some clothes cool and others lame and especially lame when some weird caveman girl named Jenny wore it and she had a huge butt.
Like cute shirts, movies go in trends. Right now, a trendy type of movie is historical movies about olden times. Movies like Lincoln and The Hobbit (which is a prequel) teach audiences that if history is made into a movie, it isn’t as boring as if it was in a book. Then, audiences start wanting more history movies, more specifically history movies about real people and real things that happened in real life.

Movie Review: Green Lantern
The color green can mean a lot of things in movies. Sometimes green is meant to be money, sometimes green is meant as clean energy like solar-powered windmills or cars that create electricity, but other times the word ‘green’ means drugs (i.e. pot, weeds, marijuana, lcd, etc.)
Some people say drugs should be legal, while other people say drugs are bad and should remain illegal like some people from Mexico. Personally, I have never smoked or drank drugs or even cooked with them, but some people who do are really brave and very open about their addiction. One such person is Seth Rogen.
Movie Review: Quantum of Solace
Daniel Craig Poses With His Band
I guess I never paid enough attention before, but the one thing Hollywood seems to like to do is create a series of movies (a trilogy) out of all of their successful characters. Batman’s a trilogy, Iron Man’s going to be one and now James Bond. But this isn’t the first time someone’s attempted to do James Bond. There was a James Bond TV show that was made for cable, but the commercials I’ve seen for it always made it look really bad and very cheaply done and it was always different actors playing the same part. Huh? It still plays on TV, but I don’t think they make new episodes anymore. Mr. Craig, however, was able to take this lame TV show, put a bunch of money behind it, get someone not old to play James Bond (he hired himself) and turn it into a box office hit at the movie theaters.
