Books into TV and movies

Well this will probably be my last blog for awhile since I only have to do this last one this week. The class has taught me a lot but for this blog I will be talking about how TV and movies has influence more people no to read. When I was young I love to read the R.L Stine Goosebumps books. I love to be scared when I read and read and was always interested in them. However the Goosebumps show stated to come on TV and since then I gave up reading the books because it cam on TV. Goosebumps is just one example that was a good book then turn into a television series. Not just books turn into Television series but also into movies. The most recent hit movie twilight has become a movie. Twilight as most of you know was first a book them now it’s a movie. Personally I would read the book but why would I if it is already on television. But the book is a series of books so people still get to read the books because they want to know what lies ahead and what will happen to the characters in the book or movie. There a re many books that are turned into Television or movies here in a link that will tell you the books that were turn into movies by year. One of the best writers out there today is Stephen King. He has brought up many books then later on was turn into great movies. Some in his list that were turn into movies are desperation that was a TV series. Another one was Kingdom Hospital which I like in 2004. Since there are more and more books turning onto movies more people are starting to just see the movie or the television and just not read. But I do encourage parent s to tell there kids that reading the book is better them the movie.

Music with fashion

We all love music, fashion, movie games well I guess I can say the general population does but what I wanted to know is does music really affect fashion and the way we dress. Through the years music is what motivates us people and also gives us feelings that we can share to other people as well as just remember some one just because of the lyrics of the song or the beat to it. Music is everywhere around us and its also everywhere we go in our cars, house, elevators, malls just about anywhere. Fashion, personally I like fashion cause its always really cool when we see someone dress a different way then others that we think is weird then in a week a too that’s the clothes we would also wear. I see people dress just like the music videos of pop rock or country or any other genre. Music has influence me in a way that I dress because I tell myself that this looks good and so I wear it and it matches on what club I go to what type of music I will be surrounded by, so it does have an effect on me. Back when my dad was in high school he dressed a totally different way then I dress right now and I told him why? Then he said because in the 60’s and 70’s people loved The Beatles so much that they would try to look like them. So my dad used to try to be like the Beatles as well. My dad is just one example of how music has change fashion but my mom as well. My mom loves to dance and more specific loves salsa dance. Most of the time she still dresses like a salsa dancer and loves salsa music so she dresses like one. Today we all can see how music has changed our fashion just by looking at the rocker fashion with the ears pierce and the long hair with skull T-shirts. Or the rapper type fashion with long shirts and NY caps. Music and fashion do collide and make us how we dress.

Educational Safe Sex Videos


As we had talked about sex and violence on women as well as how they show themselves in music videos, I became really interested into the subject. So this week’s blog I am going to talk about how videos can influence people on having safe sex. As more and more women or young ladies are becoming pregnant as they are at a young age I do know that humor as well as education sex videos do help. Watching Sex Education videos can help young women to getting safe sex. One video that I found and thought that it had a little humor is a video called How to Have Safe Sex on how cast. The video is a little funny due to how they explain how to have safe sex with a sexual partner but they use a tea poorer for hoe to put a condom on. Some may find this funny but its still a good education video but you never want to get some kind of desease or infections or STDs or Clymedia that will eventually lead to aids. Learning how to have safe sex will help reduce the number of victems that have STDs or some other sort of desease. Also it will help reduce the number of young pregnant women that have babies. I found another video that made be explicit to viewers because there is sex and humor as well. I still think the video is educational because it good and safe to use condoms and the video helps you choose the right decision. I found the educational video on Collegehumor.com so it will have some humor on it. Many think this is not a very well educational video but if people really get the point to have safe sex it can help out the world. Having these educational sex videos talking about having safe sex is a good thing because talking about sex is important to know.

Anime


Hey, hey wazzup everybody I have decided to change my Horror Movie topic to something more Happy and Colorful. Therefore, instead of the scary frightening horror monsters I always talked about, now I am going to tell you about the best Anime cartoon story of all time. No, it is not Pokémon but its called Digimon. When I was a kid, I was always excited that Saturday was right around the corner. I still remember that Digimon would come out at 10 A.M and I would always be ready for that time. Digimon is a Japanese Anime that was turned to English. There are now 5 series of Digimon now and about 9 movies of them. I have only seen only the first two series and that is how far I have gotten. Digimon first aired in Japan on March 7, 1999 then it aired in the United States on August 14, 1999. From 1998 to 2001 were the best years of anime with Pokémon and Digimon being the best on the top ten lists. In Season, one it is all begins with 7 great kids in summer camp being chosen to be the Digi Destine. From that point on they go through many obstacles and evil monsters trying to destroy them. The Digimon evolve or transform to greater and stronger Digimon to conquer their enemies. They can only Digivolve with their partner they are with and so on. Digimon has created so much money for television in America. Season 5 started on April 2, 2006 and I was to busy to keep up with the story. When I tell someone about what is a Digimon, most of the time they will know what I am talking about. Digimon has many other promotions like toys, comics, and what I used to collect as a kid called Digimon cards.

Upcoming 2009

As I had talked about The Haunting In Connecticut on my last blog I would like to talk to you guys about the upcoming 2009 movies. The Haunting in Connecticut had come up in March and according to horror.about.com this April there would be Mutant Chronicles and Obsessed. Mutant Chronicles is more of an action movie then a horror movie and is based in the future so it is a Science fiction movie as well. Obsessed is more of a drama slashed freaky movie about a woman obsessed to a man. Coming this May 2009 there are two more horror movies that will premier in theaters. Drag me to hell looks scary and if you like to see what the movie is all about click on the link on Drag me to hell. There is also another movie called Pontypool that will come out in May as well. On June 12, 2009 there is a Norwegian flick coming out called Dead Snow. Dead Snow does not look good but who knows it might be a surprise to others. The one that is coming out also in June is called Prey. Prey is not very exciting but it’s one that can also be good and we would not know until we watch it. Also in June comes the movie Surveillance. A horrifying thriller movie based on Surveillance cameras and roads sounds freighting to me. One that does look good to me and very terrifying to see is called Orphan. Orphan comes out on July 24, 2009 and after watching the trailer, I am interested in this movie. In August the only good horror flick that will be out is the sequal movie called Final Destination Death Trip. The good thing about this movie is it comes out in 3D and I always liked Final Destination movies as well. For the next months down the road of 2009, there will be movies like Pandorum, Splice, Saw 6, and Night of the Demons and more.

PaSt WeEKeNd

Ok so let me tell you people of a sweet frightening movie I just saw this weekend. It is based on a true story that had really happened. If you like, horror and it was based on a true story then you should go watch The Haunting of Connecticut the next time you go to theaters. When I went to see the movie, I was not excited at all, I just thought it would be like just another horror flick with ghostly people coming out when you know there about to come out. However, The Haunting of Connecticut gives you frightening pops of ghostly people when you do not expect it. That is why this movie was so good to me and it had made 23 million on its opening weekend so far. The Haunting of Connecticut is one of my top 5 horror films all time because I did get scared and I was also into the movie and not bored like other ones. To tell you a little about the movie it takes place at a very old house in Connecticut. A family moves into the house with a cancer child that doctors say he will recover with no problems happening. Then he sees strange things happening to him and hallucinations as well. He discovers a small room where they would clean the bodies of dead people. The dead people try to get him to know what had happen in that house in the old times and then many things happen in the movie, but I am not going to say because you have to see it for yourself. I only recommend this movie for viewers who love to be scared and scream then laugh after they had been scared of embarrassment. Here is a quick link if you have no idea what The Haunting of Connecticut is all about. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MRJA3lN0xCQ

Makeup and Women

Imagine a beautiful little girl or women in your mind. Just imagine what a beautiful little girl of women can look like. Nice body good-looking eyes sexy body looks at you all sexy likes she wants. These are the type of women you can get as scary ghost or dead women in horror films. Makeup artist do a fantastic job making these beautiful women into scary ghost and haunting images that they bring onto our mind. According to Horror Movies Make Up Pictures - FunOnTheNet, one of the best makeup artist used was in the horror movie Thirteen Ghost. Thirteen Ghosts had to use many talented makeup artists to create its ghostly people that if you watch the movie you can still picture them in your mind and memories that come back and give u a Goosebumps. One other film that was good and that made a beautiful woman into not at all beautiful is the movie An American Werewolf in Paris. Julie Delpy one of the main actors in the movie is pretty. However, the professional makeup artist makes her into ugly Julie Delpy and scares many young children. The shining in 1980 was a hit with makeup and with big bucks money. The shining can be defined as a horror film because of the great makeup they use on actor Shelley Duvall. Shelley Duvall is a beautiful well figure woman but in a scene, she is a frightening terrible woman that will just haunt you. Sometimes I think how do they do the makeup really well on her good looking face, but they always find a way to bring out the extreme horror of women. There are so many horror films that use makeup and some are good but some are bad One of the best makeup ever use was on the popular film Franklinstein. As horror, still pump our hearts and show us how bad fear gets I still consider how bad it really can get. If you want to be, a makeup artist here is a tip you can use for Halloween… Makup tips
