ETHAN ROY: BEST AND WORST FILMS OF THE SUMMER (PART TEN)
500 DAYS OF SUMMER
Now let me make it clear that I HATE romantic movies. But this was funny, sad, and heart warming. The main character reminds me a little of me so I can sort of know what he is going through, but I’m 14 what do you care. But I haven’t love a movie like this ever. The music fantastic, but in my opinion what steals the show is the visuals and locations. The fact that it shot here in L.A. takes my breath away it reminds me of New York.
CHECK OUT PART TEN MONDAY, NOVEMBER 2ND!

DISTRICT 9
This film will change how we look at Sci-Fi for a while. The message it has, the depth of the characters, and the interesting camera work. And 30 million dollars for a sci-fi movie - that’s like 1 million in the 80’s.

UP
This is the greatest animated film ever. Never can a cartoon be so funny and sad. The first 10 minutes are so depressing. Just go see it, I’ll leave it at that.

SUNDAY HIGHLIGHT: STOREYCOREY
StoryCorey, a YouTuber from New Zealand, created this entirely from still images:
MEDIA CREATOR PROFILE: CHARLIEISSOCOOLLIKE
He went viral a couple of years ago, when his spoof video on how to make an English cup of tea earned him an appearance on the BBC. Since then, he’s continued Vlogging, he has a band Chameleon Circuit, that’s dedicated to the long-running British sci-fi series Dr. Who, and he’s become a well-known part of the YouTube community. He's the top YouTuber in the U.K.
In recent months, Charlie McDonnell,18, has been both to E3, and to Comic-Con in San Diego. In the case of Comic-Con, Microsoft paid his way, asking only that he visit their presence and Comic-con - but agreed to let him write whatever he’d like. They supplied him with a press pass, and given him access behind the scenes. Charlie also collaborates with other Youtubers as well on videos and other projects, including projects just for charity.

PUBLIC ENEMIES
This film disappointed me. I enjoyed it so much, but it left me feeling empty. The camera was terrible, though. But the performances were top notch. The sets were great, but not enough action. It just left wanting more.

Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince
I like this film, but wow the title is just pretty much for marketing. It should have been called, “Harry Potter and the Raging Hormones”. But it was really dark though, which I loved. But it didn’t have Ralph Finnes as Voldemort. It’s my second favorite in the serious, but not as good as Goblet of Fire.

LAND OF THE LOST
A lot of people seemed not to like this film and I thought I was going to hate it. I haven’t laughed so hard in awhile. It was just so stupid that it was incredibly funny. It was parodying the series in the 70’s, which threw everyone off, but I say check it out.

MEDIA CREATOR HIGHLIGHT: YoshiToMario
YoshiToMario, 14, also known as Hugh, has been on YouTube for over three years, and until his last account was banned a few weeks ago (perhaps for inappropriately using copyrighted work - something to watch out for on YouTube), was on the list of the top 100 most subscribed channels in the UK. He features comedy, vlogs, his "Let's Play" feature that focuses on detailed gameplay on selected titles, "Emotional Spill" vlogs that highlight more personal concerns and opinions he has about life in general. He's also involved in collaborative efforts with other YouTubers - Fusion Media Hub is a gaming-interest (and other things) channel he hosts with gamers "across the pond" in the USA. You might notice that his viewership numbers are quite
This "Emotional Spill" video is about learning to accept yourself for who you are.

ICE AGE 3
I actually think this could be the worst of the summer, but it had a charm to it. Simon Pegg as the weasel was enjoyable, but the other actors where very bland.

ZACK ROME: "HE LAUGHS AT YOUR STUPID JOKES: THE STRANGE NEW WORLD OF 'MILO'"
BY ZACK ROME
He talks to you. He never does his homework. He loves to go fishing and he even laughs at your stupid jokes. Is he your best friend? No, he is a computer. Project "Milo" is a 10 year old boy who would act like any other 10 year old boy except, he is in a 2-D world. You can talk to him, draw something for him, and you could talk about the game last night.
At first glimpse you are amazed. Yet, you wonder how this is all possible. It's pretty crazy when you think about it. A computer with feelings who can talk and laugh with you. An idea of the future is now... When people would think about the future, with flying cars, trips to the moon for vacation etc.. They never would of thought that that would become true in their life time. Milo gives off that impression. But is it real?
No, but it is a step in the right direction. There are still so many problems with the program itself. It seems to me that "Milo" won't be released to the public eye in years. But, it is still amazing that a product like this, even with its flaws, is out there. This is REAL. We could be looking into the real future. A future where you can interact with the 2-D world. And movies are now being released more and more with 3-D capabilities! We have just stepped onto the new world of entertainment and gaming that we have never seen before. Project Milo is a step in the right direction, not only for entertainment, but for the world.

Summer has come to an end, but that means the movies from summer will be here soon. There are some I haven’t seen though like Drag Me To Hell. Now here are my top 10 best films and 1 worst film:
Terminator Salvation
Boy we I saw the first trailer I thought meh, but when the one came with the Nine Inch Nails music in it, I was pumped to see this. When I sat down I thought, this is the one finally. I loved it I think behind T-2, it'S the best one.
