The Blair Witch Project
Do you remember when The Blair Witch Project came out and all of the positive reviews began flooding in? Well it seems director Adam Wingard does as well, because he made the same movie over again, expect unlike the original his movie, Blair Witch, isn’t good.

It follows Heather Donahue’s little brother, James Donahue, as he and a group of friends begin making a documentary about their search for James’s long lost sister. Blair Witch uses many of the same themes from the original, occasionally even using some of the same footage. It takes place in the same woods and faces the same evil. The whole movie is one long exercise in de ja vu, and

    The Notebook is one of my favorite love movies of all time. The reason I love this movie so much is because that main characters Noah and Allie go through so many trials and finally end up together in the end. This movie I feel shows me how strong their love for each other really was and I now feel as if it is meant to be it will always find a way. Looking at the movie as a reference to get a better understanding of how lifespan development works, I realized that most of the trials that Noah and Allie went though were part of stages of development. The theory of stages of development was created by Erik Erikson, he believes that we go though certain stages in our life and if we do not get passed them properly we will end up with underdeveloped skills in our lives. The Notebook has many different stages that the main characters go though such as, stage eight, integrity vs. despair, stage five, identity vs. identity confusion, and stage six, intimacy vs. isolation.…

    The Salem Witch Trials, of 1692, occurred in Salem Massachusetts. This is a case where people accused other people of witchcraft. Salem was a town governed by strict Puritan religion, and to have such a charge labeled against you could cost you your life.

    In the United States, up until the lethal injection was introduced in 1980, execution by hanging was the most popular legal and some times unlawful form of putting criminals to death. In some cases, innocent people were irrationally hung or lynched with no evidence of criminality. This occurred in a more recent historical event, The Duluth lynching’s. The 1920 Duluth lynching occurred on June 15, 1920 when three black circus workers were attacked and illegally lynched by a mob in Duluth, Minnesota. Those innocent deaths led by false accusations supported with no evidence, fear and motives can relate to those wrongfully and legally hung in The Salem Witch trials.…

    The Conjuring by James Wan is a horror movie that is indescribably amazing. It is both friendly but yet satisfyingly freaky. The Conjuring is fantastic with the help of Patrick Wilson and Vera Farmiga playing the roles of Ed and Lorraine Warren. The director and actors did a great job on this movie. The director made it as scary as possible, but yet sticking to the true story of what really happened to Ed and Lorraine Warren. The actors bringing out their characters better than anyone else could, which made it as if you were really there seeing it for yourself.…
