Our news cast was successful.  We do a lot of good things right but we did make some mistakes as well.  At the beginning it went very well Katie and Brady did a job talking.  The camera shots were also very good.  There still was some miscommunications when it came to the weather.  Abby thought she was done with the weather bad she wasn’t.  Overall it was a good news cast and it got aired.

Life is Beautiful Review

By: John Constantine

          Life is Beautiful is a great foreign film.  It was directed by Roberto Benigni and came out in February 1999.  This movie does a great job of portraying the holocaust.  In the movie it’s about a Jewish family who gets taken to a concentration camp in Germany.  They have a son named Joshua and the father Guido tries to keep his son relaxed while they are at the camp.  He makes a game out of it and keeps telling his son they need more points.  Roberto Benigni plays Guido.  He does a great job in the movie, he shows great enthusiasm throughout the movie.  This movie also has a lot of great shots that really pulls you into the movie.  There are a lot of smiles and tears throughout this movie and it will leave you satisfied and a little sad.  It does portray the holocaust well although it does soften a little bit.  But it helps make the humor possible.  This movie is not about Nazis and the Holocaust it is about human spirt and doing whatever is right or good.  It also is about hope and how you if you can believe it can happen.  Overall this is a great film that doesn’t get the credit that it deserves.  I would give this film a 9 out of 10.
