Keeping up with the Kardashians

                      Have you ever watch or even heard of a show that you loathed so much you thought of throwing the remote at the TV. Well the "Keeping up With the Kardashians" is my show. Sunday was day I want to forget. Every Sunday I work a double. Are bartender for this day was a young lady who is entertained by bratty selfish little twits that just talk about themselves and their PROBLEM. She would flip on E when no one was at the bar and because of the football game,we were dead. So when were dead,I had nothing to do so Ispent most of my time I'm the bar. All I heard from their mouth was complaints. THEY ARE FAMOUS AND RICH WHAT IS THERE TO COMPLAIN ABOUT. Just typing this makes be a little flustered. Their is nothing positive I could say about this show. I recommend no one to watch this show because it's horrible and will give anyone a headache. Please give your opinion in the comments because I would love to hear them.

Psycho




“The oldest and strongest emotion of mankind is fear, and the oldest and strongest kind of fear is fear of the unknown” this is a quote every horror director should live by when filming their movies. Films today have dramatically changed compared to films from the 50s and 60s. Today’s horror films feel they should add an unrealistic amount of blood during one killing scene. The saw franchise is an example of this, every death brings unimaginable pain.   
           Every good horror should have the viewer not only scared but also keep them with a feeling of suspense. Watching a horror movie that was produce in the 2000s is like listening to someone scratching their nails on a chalkboard. Directors seem to focus on the killing more than their own storyline or plot. Psycho was a masterpiece for its unique story .The dialogue between the actors/actresses in the film seem they were written by a middle school student. What worked well in Psycho was how well they made the music fit into the feeling of the scene. Today you don’t even realize music is playing if there is any. Horror directors today feel the only way to get the extra mile is to add more scenes with blood.
           Every year, horror flicks seem to pump more blood in a killing scene. Halloween is one of the best horror franchises of our time. Rob Zombie remade the very first Halloween. This new version of the film you can easily identify what’s different and what’s not. Also you can see how today we think adding more blood will make a movie better. Psycho was the first movie of its time to actually show a women dress. Today we see mostly in horror films nudity.
           We as a society get used to stuff like gore as well as nudity so with that said television and movies become more graphic each decade. People today are more influence by movies than actual books. Directors need to realize that they don't need to add the gallons of blood in order to make a great horror film. The ring became a great horror film without adding to much blood.
    Psycho is a classic horror which kids today can enjoy. Movies in the same genre of Psycho should not try to to go beyond it but rather should try to pull the audience in like Psycho.
