Movie Review- Fury

Movie Review (Fury)
The movie I selected is Fury, to me this film is on my top 10 list of favorite list. The web site I was on had a really good  review of the movie. The site compared Fury to other movies I watched and like such as “Saving Private Ryan” and “Inglourious Basterds”. I liked how they compared Fury to those titles because even if you haven't watched Fury but have watched “Saving Private Ryan” or “Inglourious Basterds” you can get a feel of what the movie will be like. Also all three movies are set in WW II

The review did well on not spoiling the movie, which is a good thing because who likes spoilers. The filmmakers did a good job with the movie at first you think that how can a movie just about a tank be good but it's a lot more than that, the movie is about the war the evilness of it and how war is not good for anyone.



The movie review did a really good job on review the film. In my opinion the review just made me like the movie more because it compared it to other films which I explained earlier. I think I like this movie so much because I like learning about the war and hearing stories about them. Also this movie is similar to some video games that I sometimes play which makes me familiar with the blood, guts and all the gore.This is the link to the movie review I talked about. http://www.rogerebert.com/reviews/fury-2014

The Fresh Crisp Snow


In this setting, you can hear the crunch of the snow as you walk and also the sound of the snow underneath the snowboard as the snowboarder slides down the slope at a fast pace. The scent of winter was in the air, you could smell it as you breathed in the frosty air. In the background, there are people cheering on the snowboarder as he conquers the slopes. The image is a guy in the air about to slide across a rail to make an amazing jump that would shock us all, you can see the concentration in his face and how perfect his movements have to be in order to do the jump just right and not fall and get injured.


If I were in his position, I would want to try to pull off the best stunt/trick ever. Snowboarding is a very thrilling sport and is extreme just like a sport that I play and love which is hockey. In hockey, there are risks you take just like in snowboarding. For example: in hockey, when you go into the corner to try and fight for the puck, some huge guy can absolutely run you over but that was the risk that you took. In snowboarding pretty much the whole sport is a risk. For example when you go down a slope that your are not familiar with, you can run into some problems like obstacles that you have to overcome.

Writing Inventory Reflection

In my spare time I don't write at all, I usually just play video games or play hockey, and watch TV. I don't really have a favorite writer but if music counts my favorite writer/artist would be Witt Lowry because I just think his music is awesome and the story the songs tells are awesome as well. When I do write like in class when we have to I like writing about my own experiences and things I did so that could be characterized as narrative writing. The kind of writing that I find hard to do is descriptive because I just have a hard time at describing things for some reason it just doesn’t come easy. When I write I get my ideas from my experiences. I don’t have any writing pieces that i am working on because I don’t write on my spare time. One piece of writing that I am proud of is one that I did recently it was a book report that I thought I did well on even though i only got a mark that was low 80’s. For any school assignment I usually do a draft copy even though I only fixed a couple things in it.


As a writer I don’t have many strengths but one strength that I think I have is probably writing about sports because I love sports so I like writing about it. Some weaknesses that I have is like I said earlier is describing things. My favorite things to write about is sports like hockey and baseball. My goals as a writer in school is to get good grades on the assignments that I have to do, nothing special just get good grades.
