Jaylon:


Psycho is an American 1960 suspense/horror movie directed by Alfred Hitchcock. The main character
Marion Crane needed some money to marry her boyfriend Sam Loomis. So she steals $40,000 from her employer and flees to Phoenix, Arizona in her car. While on the way to Phoenix she fell asleep in the car cause she was tired. The next morning a cop woke her up and started to get suspicions about her and decides to follow her. So she goes to a car dealer and buys a new car. It starts to rain hard and she gets lost but finds a motel on the side of the road. She pulls up and is introduced by the owner Norman Bates, who lives with his mother in a house that is over looking the motel. After getting settled in Norman invites her to a little dinner and they talk about stuff. Then Marion leaves and goes to take a shower. While taking the shower a black figure of a women comes up and pushes back the shower curtain and kills Marion. Then Norman finds out and runs down from the house to the hotel to find Marion laying dead in the shower. He cleans up all the blood throws her body in the back of her car gathers her property and throws it in the car too. Then takes the car and pushes it into the pod by his house. Now the movie takes a turn and we meet Marion's sister Lila and Marion's secret lover Sam. Milton Arbogast was hired to find the money that Marion took. While searching all around in different motels he finally found the Bates Motel. He drove up and was greeted by Norman. Milton asked if any body had come by and Norman said no not in weeks. But when Milton looked at the book he found that Marion had come to the hotel, but the way Norman explained it was that Marion just came and left early in the morning. Mr. Milton called Sam and Lila to tell them the news and to let them know that he thought Norman was not telling him the whole story. When he went back to the motel he went into the house behind it. Went up stairs and was looking for Normans mother, and she jumped out and stabbed him and he rolled down the stairs and died. After waiting and not getting a call from Milton, Sam and Lila decided to come up with a plan and they went to the Bates Motel. They come to they hotel as a couple. After getting a room, Sam distracted Norman while Lila snuck into they house and found Normans mother who was a skeleton in the basement. Norman came running down and tried to kill her but Sam came and beat him up. They called the police and the mystery was solved. In the end they found out that Norman was a deranged man who lived to lives 1 of himself and the other of his moms.

This was a good movie cause you really didn't expect a lot of the things that happened in the movie. The movie keep you interested especially how the main charter died in the first half of the movie. It made you wonder what was going to happen next now that she was dead. The whole part where we fond out that his mother was dead and he was making her all up. Norman was acting as his mom the whole movie and was the one killing everybody in the movie. Overall the movie was a good. And i would recommend anybody to watch it if they like mystery/ horror films.

Buff the Vampire Slayer: Hush

Jaylon:

voice of the little girl at the beginning of the show.
Can't even shout, can't even cry
The Gentlemen are coming by.
Looking in windows, knocking on doors,
They need to take seven and they might take yours.
Can't call to mom, can't say a word,
You're gonna die screaming but you won't be heard.

The reason for this episode was because the creator (Joss Whedon) was getting a lot of praise for the great dialog that he uses in his episode. So he decided to shock everybody and make an episode where nobody could talk and still come out with something that was exciting. And thats how he came up with the concept for the episode Hush. The show starts off with the cast talking but not really communicating well with the people who they are talking to. But something bad happens that night and would shock everybody in the city of Sunnydale. When Buffy wakes up she goes to the restroom to brush her teeth. When she walks back to the room her friend Willow wakes up and tries to talk to her but they find out that they cant talk they have lost there voice. Then everybody finds out and starts to become depressed. Willow and Buffy start to walk around with dry-erase boards so that they can communicate. Everybody was trying to find out what was going on but they wouldn't find out till that night when the Gentlemen come out and start to take peoples hart's when they are sleep. So they start to come up with security and they choose Buffy and also Riley who works for this government army project who protect the city. While patrolling the city they both come up on the house where the Gentlemen wore hiding. So they went in and they were attacked by the Gentlemen's men-yens and had to fight them off. Both didn't know about the other privet life. So when they saw each other fitting it was a shock. But they both worked together to fight off the men-yens and got to the box opened and they got there voices back. As soon as Buffy got her voice back she started to scream and it blowed off the heads of the Gentlemen. Then thats the end of the show, it really showed how well of a writer Joss Whedon really was.

Buffy the vampire Slayer: Hush

Okay we just got done watching a Buffy the Vampire Slayer episode called "Hush". It was so cool and i liked it because it was supposed to be scary but turned out to be funny and it had a good amount of action. It would be scary for little kids because it had scary characters in it and a creepy song and the Gentlemen looked very ugly with metal teeth. Although some parts were funny for us because we are older but like when the girl fell when she was running and no one could hear her because, at the beginning everyone's voices were token by"Gentlemen". So no one could talk, yell, or scream. Then at night when everybody was sleep the vampire sent out "Gentlemen" Fairy Tale monsters to collect hearts. Then close to the end Buffy was put on patrol which means she had to watch out for the little town. While she was patrolling Xander Harris(this was a character in the show who liked Buffy more than a friend) helped Buffy fight off the "Gentlemen" and they got everyone's voices back by smashing a box that had peoples voices in it collected at the beginning. So buffy screamed and killed the "Gentlemen".

"Some Random Online Videos"

BACK OF THE MIKE:
we just got done watching a video called "Back Of The Mike" it is about a little boy who turns on the radio and starts to listen to a western drama. But what he doesn't know is how all the sounds for that drama where made. Behind the seances the studio there were actors & technicians producing the sounds effects from different materials. With all these sound affects the boy imagines whats going on while he listens to the radio.

ZOMBIES IN PLAIN ENGLISH:
this video is about how to avoid a zombie attack this Halloween. it talks about that the zombies will not eat candy they like to eat your brains. It also tells you steps on how to identify a zombie like step 1: identify dark eyes, mouth position, shoulders would be off tilted, arms reaching and grabbing, legs limp, skin pale, Step 2: survive an attack don't go to your home or work place go to a Costco so that you can get some food water and materials. Go somewhere with a high altitude or somewhere cold because, zombies die out that way. Step 3: Kill the undead simple thing to do is to kill the brain and you will stop the zombie.

GREAT TASTING AMERICANO:
this video is pretty much just a fake grand theft auto game. But only thing is everything is cardboard, its very similar to the grand theft auto games like how you can shoot and kill people,fight people, drive cars etc.

FOOD FIGHT:
this video is just a massive food fight, with just food. All different foods go around fighting each other and just destroying everything. Its pretty funny

Blog in Plain English

this video on youtube is about the basic of blogging and how i transformed from just a simple new broadcast with professional people deciding on what you herd on the new and the radio etc. But when blogging came out it gave the power to anybody to blog about any thing that was news to them. And it went from just simple things like sports, world , and politics. But when the blogs came out people started to blog about more then just that, like about more stuff that applied to them. Blogs are websites that are organized by blog post. Blogs can also become discussions by other people just leaving a comment to each other blogs. To search about a blog you can go to Blogsearch.google.com technorati.com and to create a free blog go to Blogger.com and Wordpress.com.
