The following link will take you readers to a video of the top ten rides (Not my opinion)
Below I will explain the thoughts that I have on them,
Kamikaze- Looks like It would hurt
breakdance- looks like lots of fun
ring of fire- Saw it at a local fair that I went to, I was too scared to go on it.
Energy storm- I think that I could work up the courage to go on it after going on the Extreme 2 ride at the richmond fair.
power surge- No way, Too high and belly twisting
Beach party- A ride that everyone has to try at least once according to other people’s comments on it. (Including me)
Top Scan- You will have to force me to go on that one, too high
Mega Drop- I hate the stomach drops, so no
Tango- Too scary, Insaine
The Zipper- I have wanted to ride the zipper for the longest time but I feel that the inability to control the cage’s flipping would make me too scared to go on.
Today I am going to blog about the trailer for the movie Rio.
Me, already have seen the movie, thought that the movie was great. For children though.
Most cartoons are directed towards younger audiences, but also most of them can be enjoyed by the whole family.
Rio, not so much. It was not very funny and had a very annoying theme song.
The trailer however made me respect the movie more than I did when I first watched it. Besides from being dull towards older audiences, it was superb towards younger audiences.

Today I decided to post the trailor for the Pixarshort ‘La Luna’. It is about a small child who is growing up and is taken to his father and grandfathers work for the first time. He is constantly seen copying his father or his grandfather, but is more willing to follow his father. The line of work they do is something only Pixar can think up, fishing for stars. The whole short looks beautiful. Beautiful; animations, music, and sound effects.
The Pixar short, like all of the other shorts, is with no dought going to be amazing.
If you want to see it, go and see the Pixar movie Brave in theaters because it is only playing there.
Madagaskar is one of my favourite animated movies, the laughs and drama were both at it’s peak. When the second one came out I was too afraid to watch it because it is one of those movies that reveal all of the funny parts in the commercial. I have the video game(game for family), so I already know the storyline, and I also have the movie. I don’t know why I bought it when I never thought on watching it, but to this day I have never seen the entire movie, only bits and pieces. Also I heard from one of my best friends who I shared the love for the movie with, that it was not very funny. I do not want to watch the second movie because I am afraid that it will spoil the masterpiece of Madagaskar.
When I watched the commercial for Madagaskar 3: Europe‘s Most Wanted I was really exited to see it. Then again, I was exited when Madagaskar 2 Escape From Africa came out as well.
At least the animation is still at it’s best. Actually the animation quality in Madagaskar 3 looks better than the first one. When I talk about the animations in movie sequals, I am talking about the colours and shades that were used. Usually sequals to good movies that could be enjoyed for a lifetime, are reanimated so much that they look like they were done by completely different animators. Character’s clothing is made of different textures and brightness levels.
This movie just might be better than the previous one because their t.v show was very entertaining and funny, when usually movies that get turned into t.v shows are almost pointless to even preview. The funny thing is, the television show for Madagaskar was created using the exact type of animation I described above. The characters were way brighter and the characters were more child -looking. Probobly to attract young viewers. Their t.v show probably helped them with the production of Madagaskar 3 a lot.
Also my hopes on this movie not being terrible, was the fact that the same 4 hilarious actors were staring in it. There is; Ben Stiller as Alex, Chris Rock as Marty, David Schwimmer as Melman (my favourite character), and Jada Pinkett Smith as Gloria.
This movie looks like it will be worth watching and I am not scared a bit to watch it.
This movie looks really good! I am a fan of Disney and Pixar, and their recent release of Toy Story 3 was one of the best movies I have ever watched.
The movie is about a teenaged girl with really curly ginger hair named Merida who lives in a far away land. Like most movies released by Disney, Brave takes place in the medieval times. Merida like most princesses, felt confined and controlled by her parents, so she ran away to seek out away to change her life. She was tired of her parents telling her how to act, how to dress, even who shall marry her! The problem was that Merida accidentally let lose a dangerous cure, which begins the adventure, of a young teenager fighting to control her own destiny.
Brave looks like a really good movie and I would watch it if it was free. Not only does it look funny, it is just plain fun to listen to during the commercial. Merida’s accent is Scottish and is really cool to listen to.
Okay so I’m back, it has been a week sinse I updated because I was visiting my exchange partner from BC. This blog a very short and to the point statement. ‘Apple will lose quarter of tablet market by 2017.’ According to NPD Display Search (global market research and consulting firm) PC tablet sales are expected to grow five times over by 2017, but Apple will not account for a lot of it. NPD stated that by next year Apple will control close to 75 percent of the global tablet market with iOS on the iPad. As the Android market increases, NPD believes that Amazon‘s Kindle Fire will become the new number 1 because of their amount of diversification in the market. Another possibility for market toppers would be the new Windows 8, leaping from a fractional 1.5 percent in 2012 to 7.5 percent in 2017.
Like I said it was very short and to the point and is a good read for Monday morning.
http://vimeo.com/789519 Ever wanted to make a movie, but don’t have and money or place to put any fancy green or white screens? This video explains in a clear and smart way how to make your own whiteroom cheaply, and with little space. The silver Telly Award winning video of 2009 explains that using massive amounts of bright lights, a camera, a garage, and an 8*4 textureless piece of paneling will create a seemingly infinite white background. That way inspiring movie makers can start experimenting with whitescreen in their own garages.
The materials and prices are listed below:
15 clamp lights = $105
2 floor lamps = $20
21 CFLightbulbs = $60
8*4 paneling = $10
2 Gallons paint = $20
Canvas Dropcloth = $20
All together that is $235 including stuff the guy already had around his home like spackle sandpaper, a paint roller, and PVC pipe.
This video provides an inexpencive way to experience a portion of a proffesional greenscreen and is great for anyone who has an interest in filming and greenscreens.
