Hey, this is Justin. I’m sitting in the middle of class now and decided to work on my blog. I’m only supposed to be working on a French speech so it’s no big deal.


Anyways, my speech subject is books vs. movies. I’m not really sure what I’m going to do about it yet though, cause me and Jason sit here and do nothing and then usually just copy and paste things the last day and pass.

My trip to Florida is in 9 days, so I’m pretty excited about that. This time I’m going with my aunt and uncle and their two kids so it should be interesting to show people around who have never been there before. They don’t really know what to expect. They think Walt Disney World is like a big version of sandspit.

Anyways, I just wanted to talk about a movie I watched a few days ago called “A Clockwork Orange”. The movie was made in 1971 and is considered one of the best movies ever by many lists. I’d probably have to agree, cause it’s a damn good movie. Anyways, the movie is about a messed up man who rapes people and beats up people for fun. The whole movie is really weird, but it’s a good movie. He just goes to prison and they try this new type of punishment where they put the man in this place for two weeks and make him watch movies of rape and violence and propaganda and stuff like that. Anyways, he gets out, tries to commit suicide and then the minister gets blamed for trying to kill people by this new method of punishment. If anyone wants to see a damn good movie, this is one to see. I give it a 9/10 and it’s in my top 10 movies of all time. Imdb.com gives it a 8.5/10 and it is their 47th best movie of all time.

 Be warned, I wrote the last paragraph about two weeks ago and now things have changed.

It was almost two weeks ago since i've last wrote in my blog, so I better get to it. Anyways, in the past week I have got a girlfriend. I really love this girl a lot. Most of you know who she is but ya, I've been thinking about her and hanging out with her a lot this past week and haven't got the chance to write in my blog.

So ya, I wrote that two weeks ago. I haven't published a blog post in almost a month though. I'm still here though, so don't worry. Anyways, I'm single now so ya, it's a long story and I'm not sure that I really want to publish it on the internet.

Since the past month I've watched a few movies. 

First movie was Goodfellas. The movie came out in 1990. It is a gangster movie that runs on a lot faster pace then the godfather. Anyways, it's still a great movie but The Godfather was just amazing. I give it a 8/10. Imdb gives it a 8.8/10 and it is their 14th best movie of all time.

Next movie was a silent film called Sherlock Jr. It came out in 1924. It was the first silent film I've ever watched, and I liked it. I noticed that silent films are a lot shorter then regular movies, cause this ones only about 45 minutes long. I give it a 7/10. Imdb gives it a 8.4/10 and currently it isnt on their top 250 list, but it was when I first got the top 150 list.

Next movie was a movie that came out in 1957. It's called Det sjunde inseglet which translates into The Seventh Seal. This is the best movie of the three movies I watched. It is about the black plague which people believed in about 600 years ago. Anyways, this guy plays a game of chess for his life. It's a good movie and one of my favorites of all time. Probably my 6th favorite actually. Anyways, I give it a 9/10 and imdb gives it a 8.4/10 and its their 117th best movie of all time.

Thats all I have to say for now. I'm going to florida again for march break so I'm excited for that.
