The Jonas Brothers



When you hear the Jonas Brothers what comes mind? For me its the screaming of the annoying little girls that want them. They keep posters of each of them hanging above their bed and each night before bed they kiss the poster and hope that one day they will become a Mrs.Jonas. The likely chance of that ever happening is very slim and now is even becoming more slimmer since one of brothers has just gotten married. The oldest one, Kevin has been the lucky one to give up his promise ring first. Each Jonas has a ring that was given to them by their parents.

There are three brothers total in the band. Kevin, the oldest, Joe, the middle child, and Nick the youngest. Although some maybe mistaken, Nick is not the youngest in the family. There is also another Jonas brother named Frankie. Who is considered to be the ''bonus Jonas'. The older brothers will grow up with much publicity where Frankie was on Hannah Montana for a few episodes I do believe.

Now my complete opinion on the Jonas Brothers is that they are OK but the are way to young to be in the music business. I bet some of their voices haven't even changed yet. I don't mind some of their songs I do have to say but still out of three Jonas' I give them a 1/3 + 1 bonus Jonas;)

Charlie Chaplin's- The Kid

OK, so we had to watch The Kid in media class the other day. It was my first experience watching a silent film. I would have to say that I liked it quite a bit. Although there was no talking you were still able to understand what was going on. Some points in the movie they had little captions so that if you were slightly lost you could figure out what was going. The music adds a slight spark to the scene and shows the characters in different lights. When there was something going on, the music showers the scene with its graceful melody. It would set the scene up so you could get a feel of what was going on. Another funny thing about this film is the fact that its so old that there was only one type of camera angle, fading out and in.



Now would I actually recommend this movie to someone else, yes. I much so liked the film although it is not your typical 21st century movie it is a classic. It was nice to watch a movie that was simple but entertaining. The Kid was very entertaining. It had its sad emotional parts and some very funny ones. I'm sure if you were to watch this movie you would be entertained although some parts may leave bored because there is no sound. I give this movie 3 1/2 Charlie Chaplins out 5
