Mud

Hello, movie people! It is time for another look into the future of cinema! Today we have the new Mathew McConaughey movie, 'Mud'. Let's do trailer first, discussion after.



If this movie had come out two or three years ago I would have been less interested than I am now. The reason is Matthew McConaughey. I feel like he has been putting out better and better performances and is proving himself a capable actor. Three years ago I wouldn't have agreed with that statement. Reese Witherspoon, on the other hand, has a tendency to be a bit annoying but it appears that her character is a bit annoying too so that will probably work out in her favor! As for the story, I think it will at least be intriguing and interesting, at most I think it will be gripping and intense! I don't know about you, but those are all good adjectives for me. I guess that means that I think this will be a good movie! I'm a little concerned that maybe the trailer showed a bit too much. A little surprise is good, but maybe I'm underestimated the complexity of the plot. All in all, I think this is one to watch!

UPDATE: I have since seen this movie and written a review here.

    That looks like an awesome movie! You are right though, I'm a bit worried they may have shown too much in the trailer. I think Matthew McConaughey has really grown as an actor as well, it looks like he does a great job in this movie. It looks like a real nail-biter!

Emergency at the Pony Express

It was a hot dusty day at the Pony Express station. There were no packages coming and the riders were getting antsy. Jesse, the youngest rider at age 16, was re-shoeing his pony, and Kale, Jesse’s older brother, was sitting on the porch watching the Texas dust blow. Jesse stood up, patted the pony and said, “Well Sarah, we are ready to go now.” He then walked to the water barrel and drank a large ladleful, liquid rolling down his shirt. Kale looked at the horizon and saw two dark silhouette’s approaching. “Hey Jesse!” Kale hollered, “I think a job’s a- comin’.” Jesse looked around the corner of the station to see the figures growing by the second. He quickly ate a biscuit, then stood on the porch watching as the men arrived. The men were obviously military, both wearing navy blue uniforms, their horses were stark black with manes and tales cut short. “What can we do for you’s today?” Kale asked. “We need you to deliver a package to Baton Rouge, Louisiana,” one of the men said. ...

KIds Can be Cruel

I can hardly believe the capability of people to just be heartless. Cliques are such a horrible thing, making so many people sad. Don't you hate it when someone says, "Partner up!" and you are the last person chosen? It is so much worse when you are the last person for months. Kids can be soooo cruel. What about when the kids start playing dirty? When they start spreading rumors? What if they are trying to crush a person? It sure stinks to be the person on the "crush" list! As you can tell I am having social problems.

Kumea

Kumea (Koo-may) was a little girl. She was the age of ten and always wore pigtails clasped with a bright blue ribbon. Every morning Kumea woke up early, with the sun, and helped her mother tend to the rice farm in beautiful Japan. This farm year was different than all the others. The rice paddy was a sickly brownish yellow instead of bright lush green, and at night she would hear her parents talking about how the emperor would take their farm away if the weather didn’t change. One morning Kumea was gathering water from the creek when she thought she heard movement in the forest behind her house. Kumea took a little cup, filled it with water, and carried it over to a small yellow flower behind a shed. Slowly she poured water on the flower like she had done for weeks when her mother wasn’t looking. Just then a large cart approached the farmhouse with armored soldiers in it. Kumea peeked around the corner of the shed and watched the soldiers walk to her Father. The soldiers and her f...
