Wizard

On January 31 we finished watching "The Wizard".Now I will answer the questions stated below and give you a brief summary.At the beginning of the movie, Jimmy is walking down the highway. Where is he going?-He wants to go to California.What is the problem that the little boy, Jimmy, has?-He is tramatized by his twin sisters death.Jimmy likes to stack and build things. How does this relate to video games?-I dont think that it relates to any games I think its just that he would like to forget about his sister.Also it probably does relate to games because video games have a lot of buildings. Playing video games seems to help Jimmy feel better. Why do you think this is?-I think maybe it is because his sister liked video games.Or maybe its just because it relaxes him.What makes him such an awesome video game player?-Well, I surely do not know what makes him a great video game player.I think he just does it and works so hard on it to forget about his sister.What kinds of games do you see being played? Have you ever played any games like this before?-The video games that I saw were Mario Bros. and also Arcade Games,Double Dragon and Street Fighter.Yes,I have played some of these games before.I have played the Mario Brothers before when I was younger. How many different game systems do you see in the film?-In this film I only seen about two video game systems.I think its because video games had just been introduced.What did you think about the Power Glove?-I really liked the Power Glove but I dont think that I would be able to use it.The reason I dont think I would be able to use it because it is really difficult to have it on your hand and have to press buttons with the other hand.So thats why I dont think I would be able to do it.

The Wizard
I really like this movie because it ties in to video games.Video games is what we are talking about in class.Also we are about to make video games.Well I really like this movie also because it has a sad part and a good part to it.I remember when I was little I would play the mario brothers game.Also the Arcade Games.Now those things are very expensive.People collect them and put them in their house.Also there was a lot of compotition.What I didnt like about the movie was that they had two bad people(Lucas and the guy looking for Jimmy Woods).I also liked this movie because they showed emotion and also what had happened to the little girl (Jimmy's twin).It was sad.Well I really hope that we continue to watch movies like this one.

Science

What I think about the Google Science Fair is that I think it is a great idea because they have never had something like this. Also it is good to start with new things to make good things come. Something else they have is a good amount of money for GREAT Scholarships!Also they have great prizes. I actually don't see myself entering this contest. The reason I don't see myself in this contest is because I am really bad at science. I would probably enter it but, I don't "see" myself entering. I do hope that one of my classmates does enter but, I would not enter. Even though I am not going to be entering I would do a project that involves either volcanoes or engineering.I would focus on engineering.I would build something that would help someone have energy.

Epic Mickey

I would like to have a lot of the moving and crashing stuff in my game.I would like to learn how to make the objects move and stuff.I would also like to learn how to make the figure in a good way.I would like to look at the animation.I would also like to put sound on my game.
