The for our movie was to follow an Italian mobster family, they use their powers to contra the elections, so that they can chose an elective that would benefit their family the most for their business. George Raft is our leading actor for Delvecchio 35', he plays the father of the family and the genius behind everything. The supporting actors and actress's who play his children are the ones that execute his plans. The message that we are trying to get through is that mobster families had a lot of power, the power to change votes in the elections. 

The studio we chose was Warner Bro's because they had a lot of success with gangster films. Some films that were popular were Little Ceaser and Public Enemy. Our main actor, George Raft was signed to Warner Bro's as well. He also seemed like he would portray a gangster in a really great way.   Our director Mervyn LeRoy, we picked him because we has directed gangster movies before and they were really good. 

The Hayes Code affects our movie a lot. Because our movie is a gangster film, there is a lot of swearing and guns and just things that you weren't allowed in movies because of the Hayes Code. So to get around things like shooting, when someone would shot we would move away from the person shooting and only let people hear the sound of the gun go off. We also tried to use other words that were not swear words because you couldn't swear in movies.

I agree with our choice in everything we choose because it was our movie. I think Delvecchio 35' will do really eel in the box office. It will do well because its out there, its affecting the Hayes Code hard just like the Hayes Code is affecting our movie. But we still made a really good movie even though the Hayes Code was really hard on us. 

Movies In Your Spare Time

One day at home I wasn't doing anything but watching television, so I started channel surfing. I saw on ABC Family that they were having a movie marathon, which I started to watch the movies. I watched one movie from the middle of it and then I waited for the other one to come on and watched it from the beginning. The movie I watched from the beginning and what I will be writing about is Grease.

Grease has been one of my favorite movies from when I first watched it and that was a long time ago. I have always loved Grease because of the singing and the story behind the movie. I have never seen Grease Two but if I did I don't think I would like it as much as the first one. I like Grease because I like sing along movies like Footloose, which is also on my top ten movies list. I love all the dancing, songs and I love the acting as well. John Travolta is one of my favorite actors because he can play any role very good. For example he played Edna Turnbald, Tracey's mom in the movie Hairspray. I thought his as a lady was actually pretty good. 

In one of the scenes they sing the song Grease Lightning, this scene is most likely my favorite because its up beat and is funny to watch, also I can dance to it because I know the dance. But in this scene the camera is more of a wide angle to show everything that is going on in this scene. Its also wide angle so it can show you the surroundings or the setting that they are in at that moment. In this scene they are in a car workshop trying to fix Kenickie's old car. In this seven the boys are making fun of Kenickie's car and Danny comes in a tries to make the guys see have grey this car can actually be, if they fix it up.

If you haven't seen Grease I suppose you do because its a really good movie.There is a lot of dancing scenes and the songs are awesome to sing along to and easy to remember. But most important its its good entertainment there are a lot of funny scenes as well. I really think people should watch Grease because its also a classic. If you haven't seen it you're missing out. And I will leave you with a trailer. 

Review of the Reviews 

The Negative:

While reading the review by Charlotte O'Sullivan, The normally excellent Chloë Moretz fails to summon up any convincing emotion. I was surprised about how she felt towards Chloë Grace Moretz acting. Charlotte said that in this movie she barely didn't show a lot of emotion when she was a ghost. She said that people were very dry eyed during the movie, that Moretz didn't get emotion out of people when watching the film. But I don't understand why she thinks that because during the movie when I saw it I was crying the whole time. Charlotte said that it didn't give Moretz justice of ruer acting but I think it did, there was one sense where Moretz had to scream, cry and hit the floor because she was so sad and angry about the things that were happening. When I saw that scene I thought she such an amazing job, she made it seem like it really hit her hard, like it was a true story. So I think this movie did give Moretz justice for her acting skills. 

Charlotee claimed that people were bored during the movie, which I can see because it is a slow paste movie. Throughout the movie you get flashbacks about her life before the accident, and that makes the movie go by slow because people just want to know what happens, does she survive or does she die. But that is what the whole book/movieis about, Mia (Moretz) making a huge decision about her life. I think they portrayed the way of the book into the movie into a good way, they didn't make it to fast moving or to slow moving. I read the book and that was really good and the movie was just like the book, I feel like it was perfect change.

The Positive: 

While reading the review by Allan Hunter, A life or death weepie squarely aimed at teenage girls. This review was nothing like Charlotte O'Sullivan's, Hunter thought it was actually good to see Moretz play as a regular teenage girl instead of her crazy roles she usually plays. Hunter says she has a such a smart and sympathetic presence that everyone loved her before the accident even happened. Hunter says that If I Stay is just like those 1940's life or death movies, with fake snow, studio setups, and fairytale endings. Which I agree with. 

Hunter thinks that people should cry when watching this movie even at the less subtle tear duct moments. Romantics will find it as a really good movie to watch because of Adam and Mia. Hunter says it is like The Fault in our Stars, which is true because they are both about teenagers who are in love and one, or in the case of TFIOS both of them could die. This element makes the movie completely sad and Hunter talks about that in his review. I agree a lot with this interview because I did see If I Stay, and I did cry a lot a. So I feel like if you don't cry you don't maybe just didn't get into it as much as others. 

2. "If I Stay is aimed squarely at teenage girls and if you don’t fall into that target audience you may well feel the manipulation and wince at some of the less subtle assaults on the tear ducts." 

-Allan Hunter 

I agree with this mostly because throughout the whole movie there are so many moments that just pull at your heart. This movie about something that can actually happen to someone you love or yourself. The movie makes you feel the pain of Mia's family and friends, which makes you completely sad. Throughout the whole movie, for me, I was crying because in the scenes of her wanting her parents and brother, I started to think like what if that happened to me, which made me really sad. 

From Charlotte O'Sullivan's interview I don't really agree with anything from her interview because I actually really enjoyed the movie from start to finish. I feel like she just didn't give the movie 

anytime, If I Stay was heart swelling and a cry feast, it was never boring. She possibly didn't even watch the movie from the looks of her review if didn't have any examples or evidence of why she thought the stuff she thought about it. So I just don't agree with her. 

3. If I haven't seen the film and I looked one of this up, I would be more convinced by Hunters review. Hunters review had information in it about the movie and why you should see it. He says that Moretz does a good job playing a regular teenager and its good for her to play a teenager like she is. She says that its for teenage girls, like me, so thats a plus one for me to see it. Hunter talks about life or death choices, the choices we make in life and how they are important. 

4. If I were to write a review on this movie I would want to include what type of people would want to see this movie, which would be teenage girls or just girls/women in general. I would say how moving it was watching her make a choice that will change her whole life. I would also include how sad this movie is so people will bring tissues. I wouldn't include the flashbacks because I feel like people should read the book to figure out whats going on. I also wouldn't mention any of the people who die in the book/movie, I feel like that should be a surprise.
