Film Reflection Good Bye‚ Lenin! I had mixed feelings about the movie Good Bye‚ Lenin! While I enjoyed watching Alex run into new challenges and come up with new solutions in scene after scene I felt the movie became too long and repetitive.

I think if I had not done research on the Internet for most of our assignments as well as reading the textbook‚ I would have found the movie very educational. I had no questions after

Period 1 3 16 14 Bye Bye Birdie Play Review The Saint Joseph’s High School rendition of the 1960 Broadway musical‚ Bye Bye Birdie‚ was a flop. When attempting to put on a show with some “pizzazz” the director‚ Brian Bozanich‚ fell short of the true goal; which was to deliver a message to the audience. The book written by Michael Stewart was originally intended to tell the story of a young rock and roll star who has been drafted into the army but has one last wish‚ to kiss a lucky girl;
