The Amityville Horror series?
I just watched "The Amityville Horror" and absolutely loved it!

I watched the remake though, and I was wondering if I should rent the original. Is it almost the same thing, worse, or is it a little better?
There is also an "Amityville II: The Possession," and an "Amityville Dollhouse."

Has anyone seen any of these? Are they worth renting?

Thanks!


the original is worth a look at but part 2 and the doll house were purty cheesy but why don’t you check out all 3 and decide for yourself. one mans b-rated flick might be anothers blockbuster. in all there are 9 movies involving the amityville house.

below are the trailers for the 3 amityville horror movies you listed..enjoy!!

Will Alien vs. Predator (AVP) make sense to me if…?
I have never seen Alien nor Predator?


Yes, you miss out on some of the context but the movie still makes perfect sense. In fact, you find it less confusing because of less timeline anomalies. After all, in ALIEN they act like the human race has no idea what the aliens are but, obviously, in AVP, they’ve been here on earth.

2010 FYRE & REIGN | Jan 23, 2010


Predator is an awesome movie
Book_lover | Jan 23, 2010


Doesn’t really matter, you should still be able to follow… But don’t miss Alien, Aliens, and Predator.
Know Kenew | Jan 23, 2010


You will need an Alien versus Predator translator .A Chinese translator is almost as good.
sojourn | Jan 23, 2010


yes, the film makers were fully aware that 99.7% of the world’s population hasn’t seen either of those films , so buckle up and enjoy the ride.

Is God Light or Darkness?
Throughout the Old Testament there are scriptures indicating that God is darkness. Below are just a few.

The people remained at a distance, while Moses approached the thick darkness where God was.
Exodus 20:21 NIV

I will give you the treasures of darkness, riches stored in secret places, so that you may know that I am the LORD, the God of Israel, who summons you by name. Isaiah 45:3 NIV

Woe to you who long for the day of the LORD! Why do you long for the day of the LORD? That day will be darkness, not light. It will be as though a man fled from a lion only to meet a bear, as though he entered his house and rested his hand on the wall only to have a snake bite him. Will not the day of the LORD be darkness, not light

Plot: Mr. Tako, the producer of a low rated television show called “Mysteries of the World”, decides his show needs some spicing up. So he sends two of his staff, Osamu Sakurai and Kinsaburo Furue, to Pharoh Island to bring back some berries, called soma, noted for their non-addictive narcotic effect. He also wants the two to bring back proof of a giant ape named King Kong. Before the pair leave, Osamu stops by his sister Fumiko’s apartment for dinner with her and her boyfriend, Kazuo Fujita. During his visit, Kazuo shows the two his new invention, a wire that is stronger than steel. In the meantime, a submarine collides with an iceberg releasing Godzilla, who was trapped there seven years earlier. When Osamu and Kinsaburo arrive at Pharoh, they not only find the berries but the giant ape. After a battle with a giant octopus, Kong drinks the juice that is made from the berries and falls asleep. While he is sleeping, the pair tie him to a raft and take him back to Japan. In the meantime, Godzilla is rampaging throughout the Japanese countryside. While in route to Japan, Kong breaks free and swims toward Japan and inevitably on a collision course with Godzilla.

Battle for the Planet of the Apes

February 8th, 2010 — 2:06am

Battle for the Planet of the Apes
Battle for the Planet of the Apes (1973)

IMDB rating: 4.90

Plot: After conquering the oppressive humans in “Conquest for the Planet of the Apes”, Caeser(Roddy McDowal) must now keep the peace amongst the humans and apes. Gorilla General Aldo(Claude Akins) views things differently, and tries to cause an ape civil war. In the meantime, other human survivors learn of the ape city, and decide they want to take back civilization for themselves, thus setting the stage of warring ape factions and humans.

Directors: Lee Thompson J.

Actors: McDowall Roddy,Akins Claude,Darden Severn,Ayres Lew,Williams Paul,Stoker Austin,Keen Noah,Eastham Richard,Stevens Paul,Porter Bobby,Stearns Michael,Wilson Cal,Action,Drama,Sci-Fi,

Can someone help me with my Spanish homework?
Necesito alguien traducir este resena de Madagascar 2. Hablo de una traduccion literal de un hablante nativo. ?Gracias!

"Madagascar," the 2005 animated film that brought us pampered zoo critters Alex the lion, Marty the zebra, Melman the paranoid hypochondriac giraffe and Gloria the hippo (and the penguins, don’t forget those crafty penguins) pulled in about half a billion dollars at the box office. The sequel, "Madagascar: Escape 2 Africa," is a better film, though — less manic, more easygoing.

The first movie referenced so many other movies so indiscriminately, from "Chariots of Fire" to "Planet of the Apes" to "American Beauty," watching it was like being caught on a bus with a bunch of screenwriters on the way to a wisenheimer convention. The new one lays off that stuff, comparatively, and while there are booger jokes and such, you’ll likely avoid that "Over the Hedge" headache so many of these critter outings instill.

Marooned on Madagascar, Alex (voiced by Ben Stiller), Marty ( Chris Rock), Melman ( David Schwimmer) and Gloria ( Jada Pinkett Smith) yearn for home in the Central Park Zoo, where starry-eyed, egocentric Alex’s antics have made him "king of New York." The penguins rig up an old, busted plane, slingshot fashion, and zing the quartet (plus stowaways) not to Manhattan, but to Africa, somewhere near Mt. Kilimanjaro.

From there, "Escape 2 Africa" begins a serious poaching session on "Lion King" territory. Alex finds his parents — the late Bernie Mac provides the voice of daddy Zuba, big mane on campus — and with obvious allusions to Scar in "The Lion King," Alec Baldwin lends his sterling basso distrusto voice to jealous Makunga, a petty and venal lion indeed, who exploits naive, showbizzy Alex for his own political gain.

When I say "Escape 2 Africa" goes easy on the pop culture jokes, I should clarify: One of the smarter things in the script is how Alex, who digs his Bob Fosse and Jerome Robbins dance moves, becomes the film’s primary pop-cult gag. (When he suits up for ceremonial battle, a fight he doesn’t realize will involve actual fighting, his war paint includes a dandy pair of tragic/comic masks.) This allows the rest of the movie to spread out and ease up in other ways, exploring other avenues.

And, naturally, most of the elements that made "Madagascar" all those millions are back, including lemur leader King Julien (Sacha Baron Cohen with a wittily un-peggable dialect), and the song — the song — "I Like to Move It."

Screenwriter-directors Eric Darnell and Tom McGrath were joined this time by co-writer Etan Cohen. The visual style is typical, ultra-crisp computer animation, bright, sharp, somewhat clinical.

I took my kid and three of his pals to an Imax screening, and while I could’ve done without the film’s martial arts slapstick involving the cranky old outer-borough lady on safari, in a role expanded from her Grand Central Station cameo in the first picture, well, if there’s one thing parenthood teaches anybody in this country, it’s that boys rarely fail to laugh at someone gettin’ it in the ‘nads from a senior citizen.

Reviews from our second-grade posse: "Really liked it." "Four million stars." "Five million stars."


Now, that’s asking!
I think that, since this is homework, you should give it a try yourself.
You should be able to translate at least parts of the text: I doubt a teacher will give you something that is completely beyond your reach.

See what you can translate, post it here, and I promise I’ll help you with the rest.
But I’m a teacher myself, so of course I’m against doing a student’s homework.

Anyway, probably someone will not care so much whether you learn or you don’t and will give you a complete translation; which will make my post mean nothing at all.
