This is my second draft of my 3rd essay. I have made many changes since my discovery draft.
This is my first draft of my third essay. It is a critical review on the movie Transformers.

For the invention process we once again did invention activities. I am so happy this is the last one I will ever have to do. The process was helpful because it helped me decide what I wanted to write about for my critical review. I picked and film and that film will be transformers, yay, sorry Nadib for doing the same movie but maybe we could compare notes. My paper is due on thurday and I feel that the first draft is not going to be the greatest. I feel I need to watch the movie a few more times and do a little more research before the paper will be the way I want it to be. The invention process helped me to narrow down the points I need to get at and that I need to bring up the good points of why people should see the movie but like any good persuasive argument you need to show the counter argument for it. I think the counter arguments are bad but I made some up because I should have them. I found some in other reviews I have read for the movie but personally I don’t agree with them. This movie is like my favorite movie. Everything about it is good. I hope people enjoy reading it and what I write inspires them to see the movie or watch it again if they have already seen it.
One way to promote your blog is to write about how to promote your blog. It is actually very simple. This thought came to me as I was reviewing a peer’s essay which was written about a profile of networks. By reading this paper I remember that I had to write this blog for English, where I have to write about how to promote a blog. His entire paper just speaks of how great it is for people to network and get your self out there. He also warns about parents needing to protect their children when using the computer. Networking helps promote yourself and it could help your career.
For english class we have to do a review of something as one of the essay for our overall grade. The review could be on anything you could think of. Some examples that were given to us were movies, books, essays, and a lot more. I decided i wanted to review a movie because in class we read two movie reviews and we also watched the movies. These two movies were Good Night and Good Luck and There Will be Blood. At this point i am still trying to decide what movie i want to review. I finally narrowed it down to three choice and they are: Enchanted, Transformers, or We Own the Night. Yes, i know these are three completely different movies that have not one topic or theme in common. I have watched all three movies a bunch of times because i enjoy them very much. Enchanted is a Disney movie that starts off as a cartoon that transforms into real people taking place in New York City. It is a great family film and i would even consider it a romantic comedy. It is very heart felt and just so good. Transformers is an extremely action packed movie where autobots, robots that can think and feel like humans and are aliens for outer space, come to earth searching for the allspark, a cube that can make anything electronic come to life. There are good autobots and bad ones, which are called dicepticons. The bad auto bots want to kill all the humans and the good ones want to help save human life. There are also very good looking people in the movie. I think I watch it like one a week because that is how much I enjoy it. The final movie I am considering is We Own the Night. This movie takes place in 1989 in New York City. It is about the major drug problem that was going on in NYC between the police officers and drug dealers. It focuses on two specific families one on each side.
I like all the movies equally and am having a very hard decision on which to pick. Does anyone have any idea on which is better to do a review on???

Well, what an ending!! I could not believe how violent it was. Being that I didn’t see the first half of the movie I figured I be able to understand everything by the end, that is usually how a movie works, at the end everything is summed up and you understand what the movie was about. I was a bit disappointed with the ending because I still had no idea what the movie was about. It was also sad with someone’s head being smashed open. I think Orr’s review of the movie over all was good to what I saw of the movie. It also helped me understand the ending much better than I would have if I didn’t see it at all. The ending left me with many many questions. I had to wonder about all these characters I wasn’t sure of in the first place. I would say the title of the movie really did give justice because there sure was BLOOD!!!
