Synopsis: Two young women (Carol Kane and Madeline Khan) in Chicago, work at a roller-skating rink during 1975. They are bored and don't know what they want to do with their lives. It is the 70s where disco is very big. The Windy City Rollers, who play at the rink, are the girls' favorite sport to watch. Then, suddenly, a few girls from the derby team get into an car accident after a night out. It causes the girls to leave the team. The roller derby coach does not know what to do and notices the girls are huge fans. He offers them spot on the team, with hard training and practice, they are ready within a few weeks. The girls end up being great at roller derby. After a few months they are offered to tour around the country meeting other derby players and fans. Soon after that, they gain so much popularity they are offered a special on TV, and eventually the network airs their games. The girls end up learning what they are to do in life and are very pleased with how it went for them.
Message: The message of this movie is that when opportunity strikes, take it because you never know what could happen. You may not have discovered all of your talents yet. The girls didn't know what to do with themselves and soon discovered that they wanted to do roller derby. It also sends the message that you shouldn't give up on your dream. Although it wasn't their dream, they still worked hard for their place on the team, and became incredibly successful.
Genre: I wanted this movie to be Adventure and Comedy. Madeline Khan and Carol Kane were both funny actresses. I also wanted it to be Adventure so that it leaves a thought with the viewer, So it inspires the viewer to do what they want and work for it.
Cast and Crew: I chose Carol Kane and Madeline Khan because they are both very funny. They are the main actresses (best friends). I also chose Mel Brooks as the director because he was very popular in the 70s. Not just that, but he was a very good director and directed comedies. I wanted this to be a very funny movie with silly phrases.
MPAA Rating: I chose G because this movie is a comedy and adventure. It is not really suppose to be inappropriate.
I chose this story because I love the thought of 1970s disco. It reminds me of roller skating, and it also reminds me of Women's Roller derby, because it is empowering and also one of my interests. I really enjoyed coming up with this movie and having total control of what I chose and wanted. I really enjoyed making it.

MYST Post #3: Thor: The Dark World
Thor: The Dark World
my rating:7/10
(7/10 for lack of plot)
Plot: Faced with an enemy that even Odin and Asgard cannot withstand, Thor must embark on his most perilous and personal journey yet, one that will reunite him with Jane Foster and force him to sacrifice everything to save us all. (Imdb)
I really liked the graphics in Thor. They were very detailed and probably the main focus of the movie. I liked that the movie was overcast (weather) because it set a serious tone. I also thought the panning of the camera across scenes were interesting too.
One of the key scenes is at the end of the movie. There is a scene where the graphics are represented best. The scene is the climax of the movie and is most important to the plot. (Trying to defeat the bad guy)
This is the only other marvel movie I have seen except spiderman and batman. The graphics are similar to the avengers movie and other marvel movies. In my opinion, I think they are making these marvel movies way to fast to show off the graphics.
My opinion of this movie is that I thought it was very funny but not really focused on the plot and lacked the parts that should be explained. For example, there are two women (Natalie Portman and an actress who plays "sif") Natalie Portman was Chris Hemsworth's love interest in the first Thor (I did not see) But in the second Thor, I did not understand the role of sif. Was she a femme fatale? This movie didn't really explain the point of the character which was a problem for me. I didn't see the first Thor, but that is probably why I don't get the character.
