Movie Review: Boondock Saints

In this letter, I hope to show you why I am interested in going to County Prep. County Prep has been my number one choice for high school. The County Prep mission statement says, “We are a dynamic, diverse and compassionate learning community…” From only this part of the statement, it shows me that this high school is not only an active learning community; it is also a distinct and caring community. This statement persuades me that every student that enters County Prep feels comfortable and that they are there because their future depends on this place. High school is the starting point to pick what you want to be when you grow up. I choose County Prep because it gives you a head start on college and I believe this is what my future depends

The movie “Happy Gilmore” is about a hard-working hockey player who becomes a professional golfer after realizing his talents in golf and in order to earn money to buy back his grandmother’s house that had been repossessed by the IRS. “Happy Gilmore“ although a comedic movie, can be analyzed and related to specific psychological concepts. “Happy Gilmore” exemplifies the frustration- aggression principle as Happy misses his shots, Shooter McGavin demonstrates a narcissistic personality disorder throughout the movie, and finally, Happy exhibits social facilitation as he performs better in the presence and support of a cheering crowd.

County Prep’s social environment is positive, supportive, and helpful. The school staff genuinely care about the students and their physical, mental, and emotional well-being. There are multiple clubs to choose from which promotes interaction between students outside of class. The student government is well functioning and very supportive of the

“That our feet may swiftly carry out thy command so we shall flow the river forth to thee, and teeming with souls shall it ever be”. Forbidden to be repeated by anyone who is not a McManus, Connor and Murphy allow the family prayer to roll off their tongues, and journey into the ears of the monstrous souls they are about to exterminate. Their religious belief nourishes the idea that they can make the streets of Boston good. The Boondock Saints is a movie about religion, family, and vigilante justice.

I believe the name of the new school being built should be named after a local important historical figure in our community. I believe that's the best way to name it because alumni of our previous school would appreciate us keeping the school name local, which could possibly inspire them to donate us money to help build up our school. I believe the mascot should stay relatively similar to the one of our old school because, we all still live in the same community so why not have a similar mascot.

The reason why County prep is my school of choice is because, It's a Safe community, and has more than one opportunity for me, I believe it will provide a challenge for me. I also want to go there because of their academics in teaching, and many students that attended County Prep will agree with me.

Schools are a place for all kids and young adults go to learn something before going out into the big world, schools are responsible for a lot of things; what a child learns, and many other things. So with the new school being built; the name should be Northeast, the mascot should be a python, and the school colors should be yellow and white.

If violence, blood, and a smidge of absurdity sounds like a wonderful demented concoction then the film written and directed by Rob Zombie known as The Devil's Rejects, a sequel to his famous horror/thriller House of 1000 Corpses, is right down your alley. A local sheriff, played by William Forsythe, is hell-bent on getting revenge for his brother, who was murdered in House of 1000 Corpses. The atrocious Firefly family, who is responsible for the deaths of 75 people including the sheriff's brother, takes shelter in their Texas run-down farmhouse rimmed to the teeth with firearms

For my Rural Urban Collaborative experience, I am placed at Salem Elementary School through the Columbus City Schools. Salem Elementary is located on the outskirts of downtown Columbus. The school houses students in kindergarten through fifth grade, with about two teachers per grade level. The school strives to celebrate diversity between students, teachers, parents, and the community. Since placed, the knowledge that I have obtained through my education classes and the information provided by the state report card both interconnect and relate further.

Evidently, the scene of the beautiful, large Catholic church that Connor and Murphy attend represents the religion that appears in The BoonDock Saints. The twins not only attend the Sunday mass, but also actively participate to worship and pray. They are shown kneeling and kissing the crucifix which explains that the twins were raised to be Catholic and to worship their Lord. Connor and Murphy have matching tattoos of the women who was a follower of Jesus. The tattoo is displayed in an obvious place on their body so the audience can clearly see it. The Mary Magdalene tattoo is shown to hint what their religion is. They have this tattoo because they are strict followers of their religion and the tattoo symbolizes that they a Catholic. The Catholic

Can you see the signs ? The movie “Sign” is based on a small family. Graham a loving father, Merrill a carrying brother, Morgan a opened minded boy, and Bo the quirky little sister who lived on a small farm together. The film “Signs” is full of suspense and it keeps the overall audience on their feet wondering what was gonna happen next but also playing with audience mind. Signs the movie was very interesting, the way the director/producer planned out the movie was ingenious. The heroic father cares and loves for his kids and he’ll do anything to protect them from harm's way.

O Brother, Where Art Thou? is a film that will surely make you want to fall out of your chair laughing, and make you want to get up and dance. This film is an absolute classic. It is hilarious, adventurous, and makes you feel good about yourself.

Another unique part about this film is that the main character is currently divorced and wanting to remarry his ex-wife. The film, O Brother, Where Art Thou? is a classic comedy because it has well-rounded characters, adventure, and a little bit of love.

The film, American Gangster, directed and produced by Ridley Scott is a drama based on the biography of Frank Lucas. In the movie, Frank Lucas constructs his own business of illegal work after his boss, Bumpy Johnson, passes away. Frank builds a heroin business, following in the footsteps of Bumpy, and becomes the most powerful crime boss in Manhattan. Furthermore, because of Frank’s immoral ways, he gets caught by the police and is sentenced to 15 years in prison. As the movie progresses I form a couple assumptions of what could happen in the short term and long term. First off, when Frank Lucas attains his heroin I believe that in the short term he will succeed. Frank has established a vast amount of insights into the drug business from Bumpy, and from what he has learned he will take in and apply it to his situation. However, all immoral acts will have to be put to an end, so in the long term, Frank’s heroin business will be caught. If Frank’s business is the biggest thing in Manhattan then the police are bound to question where are all the illegal drugs coming from, how, why, and who. The police were already hunting him down so it was inevitable for him to get out of his illegal mess.

The movie the mighty duck is a very exciting interesting movie, I have watched this movie 4 times and every time I watch it I enjoy. It talks how people can change by knowing the value of their life and gain confidence. The movie is about a lawyer who was a hockey player when he was a kid and he quit because of the lack of confidence when he missed a winning shot and they lost the championship because of his miss. He was afraid to face the people around him and lost confidence and quit the sport. When he grew up he put this aside and he became a very successful lawyer. Once he won a court case and went for party and got cough by the police as he was drinking while driving. The court sentenced him to volunteer work and help the community by
