This movie was a great one if I had the choice I would make it the movie of the year.

-What Jackie Robinson did was important in baseball because he was against segregation and he didn’t act when they did stuff to him, like make fun of him calling him a nigga or colored or when they attack him. He also changed a lot of peoples minds with the segregation problem.

-The reason it was important outside of baseball is because he didn’t give in to the problem and that was very important and changed the mind of the white people because they thought black people were all aggressive and mean but they were wrong not all people are like that.

-I would give it 4.5 out of 5 stars because I would give it 5 stars but it wasn’t historically accurate when the player spiked Robinson they both fell and the scar was like 6 inches long but in the movie only Jackie fell and the scar was only 3 inches long. by:caleb augustine

42

Jackie Robinson not only changed baseball forever but it also changed the way race was viewed in America.  What he did was revolutionary; he was the first African-American baseball player in the Major Leagues. Keep in mind that this was during the 1940’s-50’s, so, there was already problems with race anyway. Jackie knew this, but he played anyway. He paved the way for all African-American baseball players everywhere. He stayed strong through the racist remarks, attacks and threats. He even changed the world because there were white children trying to be like him. He even inspired a child to join the Major Leagues.  I think the film was awesome! It was true-to-life. There were no flaws in the movie at all. I can even go back and see it a third time!

It gets 5 out of 5 stars from me.

"42" Movie

“42” Movie

 This movie was a great movie if you like learning about history. Even if you don’t like history it still was a touching movie to sit down and enjoy. It was an inspiring and heartwarming movie. It was brilliant especially the scene where he was about to take the swing but the manager of the Phillies team kept yelling “Nigga” at Jackie Robinson. That scene made me wanted to cry and beat that guy up myself. But I like how one of Jackie Robinson’s teammate told the Phillies manager to stop yelling at him and then I liked what he said to him after what the Phillies Manager told him.

There were some scenes that were funny and others were sad. One scene that was funny was when the guy asked Jackie Robinson to take a shower with the team but instead it came out wrong. One scene that was sad was when the owner of the Dodgers team let Pee Wee see all the death threats that Jackie Robinson got. To end this review I would say to go see this movie. I highly recommend it.

42 Movie Review

                 The Movie “42” Was Epic

-By CeDarius Aldridge

The movie “42” was based on a true story about Jackie Robinson and his baseball career. Jackie Robinson made a big impact on history when he was the first black person to play Major League Baseball. This historical event was being told all over the world and this showed that just because you’re a different skin color you can still be just as good as anyone else. This even made baseball change as more black people were being brought in the MLB. Jackie really made a major impact on baseball and the world, and he is respected and remembered for that. I felt that this film really showed how much of an difference Jackie Robinson made so I gave this film 5 out of 5.

Breakdancin' where's it at. (Beat Street)

Beat street! The classic b-boy movie that everyone who's knows anything about breaking has seen. A movie chronicling the trials and tribulations of two brothers Kenny, MC and DJ, and Lee, b-boy, and their friends Ramo, graffiti artist, and their self-proclaimed manager, Chollie. I like this movie because it explores four elements( although there is a fifth lost element, knowledge, that wasn't acknowledged in the movie) of  early Hip Hop, DJing(Kenny), MCing(Kenny), Breaking(Lee), and Graffiti(Ramo.) It also shows some classic breakin', chock full of style and classic moves like windmill and hand glide, just crazy. It's a great b-boy movie, and if you haven't seen it, i suggest you watch it on Netflix.

The Outsiders

The outsiders was a good movie and an even greater book because it was a heart warming story.Because it shows how friends stick together in thick and thin and the reason i like is the action and the drama that goes on in it with gang.So the whole plot of the story was the greasers and the socs gang war.the greasers is a gang that wear their hair back with grease and wear leather jackets all the time and the rival gang the socs were madras (a type of plaid shirts) and have short hair and are rich kid.So those are the people fighting in the story and movie.

The Wizard Of Oz

The wizard Of Oz was made in 1939 produced by Metro Goldwyn. The Movie was based on a 1901 novel called The Wonderful Wizard Of Oz, written by L. Frank Baum.

In this movie Dorothy and her dog gets caught in a tornado and somehow end up in the land of oz. While there she meets some memorable friends and evil foes on her journey to find the wizard of oz to hopefully get back home and for her friends to get something’s they desire like a brain, heart, and courage. I like this film because it reminds me of the heroes journey that I learned at school. I can relate to some of the character because sometimes I wish I had more courage for like when I want to ride a rollercoaster.
