MOVIE:
The Incredibles.

The Incredibles is about a family of under cover super-heroes that sets out to try and save the world. It is written by Brad Bird and produced write here in Emeryville, California by Pixar Studios. Samuel Jackson, Holly Hunter, and Craig Jackson are among the many voices who narrate the film.

It does an excellent job of taking the work of many artists and turning into an entertaining, rich story that reaches all audiences. Love to see a film that links all of these elements together and makes the hard work of animation seem Easy

I give it a 8.8 out of 10!!!

MOVIE REVIEW GUIDE-How do I write a Movie review??

How to write a movie review, a guide

Writing a movie review is a great way of expressing your opinion of a movie. The purpose of most movie reviews is to help the reader in determining whether they want to watch, rent or buy the movie. The review should give enough details about the movie that the reader can make an informed decision, without giving anyway any essentials such as the plot or any surprises. Below are our guidelines and tips for writing a good movie review.

Submit your movie review

1. Watch the movie

The first step in writing the review is to watch the movie. Watch the movie in a relaxed environment you are familiar with. You do not want to be distracted by an unfamiliar room. Watching the movie a second time will help you absorb a lot more detail about the movie. Most movie reviewers take notes as they watch the movie review.
2. Give your opinion

Most movie reviewers will give their opinion of the movie. This is important as the reviewer can express the elements of the movie they enjoyed or disliked. However, as in all good journalism, the reviewer should also give impartial details, and allow the reader to make their own mind over an issue the reader liked or disliked. Opinions should be explained to allow the reader to determine whether they would agree with your opinion .
Many regular movie reviewers will develop a following. If one can find a reviewer who shares a similar taste in films, one can confidently follow the reviewers recommendations.
3. Who is your audience?

You need to consider who your likely readers are. Writing a movie review for children requires a different approach than if writing for a movie club. Ensure you report on the factors that matter to your likely audience.
4. Give an outline

Give the outline of the movie, but don't give away essential details such as the end or any surprises. If there is a big surprise you want to entice readers by telling them something special happens, just don't say what.
5. Actors

If the movie contains actors, as most do, detail who is starring in the movie and how well you think they acted.
6. Structure

Did the movie follow a regular predictable story line, or did it get you thinking like a Quentin Tarantino movie?
7.Cinematography and lighting

Give details about how well the movie was shot and directed. Was the lighting good in the moody scenes?
8. Music

Did the movie have its own score, or did it feature songs from popular artists?
9. Read, read and read

Read and check your review thoroughly. It can be embarrassing to find errors in your work after it has been published. This is especially important for reviews that will be published on the Internet, as search engines are always looking for the correct spellings of key words.

Dear Mr. Stokes.

My name is ___________ and I am a student here at Melrose Leadership Academy.

We were promised a new kitchen/salad bar one year ago and we are still waiting for the changes. We were told that you are the boss of this and we would like to know when the work is going to be done to improve our school. We would like to eat healthier and until the kitchen changes, we can't have a salad bar.

Thank you for all of your hard work on this.

Requires that calves raised for veal, egg-laying hens and pregnant pigs be confined only in ways that allow these animals to lie down, stand up, fully extend their limbs and turn around freely. Exceptions made for transportation, rodeos, fairs, 4-H programs, lawful slaughter, research and veterinary purposes. Provides misdemeanor penalties, including a fine not to exceed $1,000 and/or imprisonment in jail for up to 180 days.

A YES vote on this measure means:
Beginning in 2015, state law would prohibit, with certain exceptions, the confinement on a farm of pregnant pigs, calves raised for veal, and egg-laying hens in a manner that does not allow them to turn around freely, lie down, stand up, and fully extend their limbs.

A NO vote on this measure means:
State law would not contain prohibitions specifically concerning the confinement of pregnant pigs, calves raised for veal, and egg-laying hens.
