Coraline: The Review

      Coraline, the 3D stop motion animated movie, is a must see movie. It features some popular actresses such as DakotaFanning and Terri Hatcher. It’s the perfect Halloween spooking movie for those kids into getting a little creeped out .It may be horrifying even to children. Coraline is based on the book. It tells the story of a girl who goes through obstacles that make her appreciate her parents more.

      Coraline gets trapped in a parallel universe, She was led into this portal by a talking cat in her dreams. This is where she meets her alternative mother and father. She ends up returning night after night back to her "other home". She becomes to adore this world because it is different from hers. Her neighbors are actually interesting and her parents put all they attention is placed on her just like she's been craving. Everything is going right in her dream life. Other mother offers for her to stay forever if she would like, the only down side of this was that she wanted to sew buttons on her eyes to match the ones on her other' family. Coraline gets frightened by even the thought and tries to escape back to her real home.Other mother does't like that idea of Coraline escaping back and traps her in this virtual alternative world and Coraline feels as if she will never return. She goes through a series of obstacles that gets her finally back home and makes her appreciate her family. This movie teaches morals to children to appreciate what they have and don't take things for granted.

     An overview of the content in this movie are violence, sex/nudity, language, alcohol, drugs,  and bad disrespectful behavior.Not much a movie for young children. It shows more young adult type of scenes.

    The detail put into this movie that you see in the behind the scenes footage are pretty much bind blowing. By just changing the expression on the face of the character takes times to making a strand of her hair on her head. They put so much effort into this movie. Without Coraline's signature  blue hair to her vibrant colored clothing. It's bewildering to see all the 

effort.Even hiring special people just to make the small clothing for Coraline and the rest of the   

cast to wear. The scene in Coralines other home when she is outside in the garden that her 

other father had made for was made all by hand. It had to be all specific colors and 

arrangement. It's a breathtaking scene to watch knowing how everything was put together.

        Coraline is defiantly recommended to any age group. I can see it being a classic. I don't 

think movies out lately compare to this one

Calling all Gleeks

    Glee's finally back after having to say a sad goodbye to our graduating members, who are off to bigger and better things. With the help of the producers and creators such as Ryan Murphy, Glee has been made into a very successful show. It shows some of the real life obstacles that teenagers these days have to go through. Even though the characters we obsess over have left McKinley High there are some new cast members to fill in, in these big shoes on season 4 of Glee. These new stars include Melissa Benoist who plays Marley, the lunch lady's daughter , and the new "bad ass" ,  Jacob Artist, who plays Puck's long lost half brother,Jake, The newly graduates are starting a whole new life.They all are doing their own things. Finn broke up with Rachel Berry because She got excepted into NYADA and he didn't. He didn't want to ruin her dreams of Broadway. Mercedes received a record deal and moved to LA  to start her career. Rachel moved to New York to go to school and make it on to Broadway. Kurt is stuck in the past and can't leave McKinley. Quinn decided to go to Yale. Brittany couldn't graduate high school because she had terrible grades. That's all we learned about the old cast members. This show would have been better if they showed exactly what happened to everyone instead of  just a few of them. It was a bittersweet episode. Overall I would have to say that it wasn't the best premier of a season show.
