Test 2008
Insha Allah
I saw ‘Welcome’ the other day. I thought it was pretty crap.
The first half of the film had very little plot, and even less sense (**cough** the car scene **cough**). But then it lost all its charm in the second half, and was actually boring. I never want to see a log cabin dangling off a cliff ever again.
And where the Hell were the morals of the film? People died. Pointlessly. All the time. I only give it 4/10.
Actually, I would have only given the film 2/10, but it had two saving graces – the absolutely ridiculous car scene in the first half was funny, despite being stupid. And also the below song.
It’s such a silly song to have in the film – the characters aren’t even Muslim, so god knows why they sing it. But it’s cool.
Good so far…
I’ve stuck to my plan, but am a little behind! I went to see Enchanted today, so a review will be up soon.
Getting back to work…
It’s time to get working again.
Tomorrow I start writing up my notes and journal – you see, we get marked on them at university, so I need to tidy mine up.
My current plan is to first write up a general evaluation for each of my projects – there’s two of them – and place that in my journal. It should pretty much cover all the surface my journal needs. Then I’ll write two highly-focused articles on my progress in specific areas of my projects – you know, give me that extra coverage. Then I will write a “what have I learnt?” document on the unit on-the-whole, incorporating all my independent research and case-studies.
That’s a solid plan, and I hope I can follow it.
Jericho – awesomeness!
I’ve been watching Jericho Season 1 on DVD for the last few days, and it’s incredible.
The story revolves around the end of the United States. Nuclear bombs detinate all over the US, killing millions, but the town of Jericho, Kansas, is unaffected. The story follows the townsfolk as they struggle to survive, both the aftermath of the attack, and themselves.
It’s really gripping, because not only are there terrorist-villains, but the town has to fight traitors and neighbouring settlements. I’ve never seen anything quite like it before.
I’ve just finished an episode called “A.K.A.” which is pivotal to the story – there are a few more left on DVD for me to see, then 7 new ones next month (Season 2, which wraps the whole story up).
I’ll do a “thoughts on” evaluation later in the week.
