To All the Boys I’ve Loved Before

To All the Boys I’ve Loved Before was released in 2018, the movie was directed by Susan Johnson. The main characters in the movie was Lana Condor who played Lara Jean Coney, Noah Centine who played as Peter Kavinsky. This movie is about a girl in high school that keeps her love letters hidden away until someone found them and gave them out to every boy she has ever loved. When writing she pours out heart and writes things she would never say in person because was for her eyes only to read. The boys that started received the letters was approaching her the letters. But through all the traumatic events that was happening Lara Jean finds herself in a real relationship. Sameen Amer from Rotten Tomatoes wrote “A well-intentioned, good-natured teen romance that plays it safe and ends up being blander than it should have been.” The movie was nominated for six awards but only won one which was Favorite Movie Actor at the Kids’ Choice Awards, USA. At the being I didn’t think I was going to like the move because it started off boring until BOOM her love letters were all out to the people she loved. If this movie was at the movies I don’t think I would have payed to watch it. The movie was good but not great. I would have loved to seen it on Disney. But the movie showed that even though her letters wasn’t meant for them to read she had to basically step out and lead with her heart.

When I first seen this movie I never once took my eyes of the screen it was so great. This movie was the first introduce me to interracial love. It showed me that some people will accept and some won’t. It also showed me that some may also try to ruin it if you don’t be careful. When watching this movie the movie had some little glitches I think if anything they could fix in the movie I would want to it to be the glitches other than that I am very pleased.

The main characters in the movie was Channing Tatum who played as Tyler Gage and Jenna Dewan who plays as Nora. This movie was about a guy that has been in and out of trouble for majority of his life finding himself back in front of the judge he was sentenced to two hundred hours of community service mopping the floors at the Maryland School of the Arts the school he vandalized. Doing community service he sees Nora a talented ballet student who is trying to learn hip-hop moves for one of her classical routines. After some convincing she let him help her with the routine. Marcianne Miller a reviewer from Rotten Tomatoes writes “There’s gotta be something right about a movie when half the audience dances up the theater aisles when it’s over.” Step Up was only nominated for three awards the only one they won was Choice Movie Dance. The movie started off great with Tyler and his friends at a party it felt like I was there or more that I wanted to be there. The movie never once really had a dull moment it was always happening. This movie introduced me to the love of dance and also the love of different backgrounds and how they can gain true love. If they could do anything different to this movie I would want them to incorporate a little bit more love scenes other than that it was great.

Tapper

Tapper also known as Root Beer Tapper was released by Bally Midway in 1983. The goal of the game was to not let the mugs fall on the ground and to push the customer completely off the screen. The player serves customers by filling a mug at one of the four taps on the wall; the tap automatically slides the mug towards the customer. Customer catches the mugs that slid towards them. If a mug is not caught by a customer and it falls of the bar table you then lose a life for the player. If the mug was caught then it pushes the customers back off the screen. This game reminded me of the game called Cooking Fever. This game was challenging but fun at the same time.

Domino Man

Domino Man was released by Bally Midway in 1982. The main goal of Domino Man was to set up all the dominoes on every site marked by black dots. You will have pedestrians trying to knock over the dominoes; the Domino Man can shove them away from the dominoes. A killer bee is always popping up to sting Domino Man; there is also a neighborhood bully who is way bigger than Domino Man who can be stunned but not shoved. After player has set up all the dominoes they will have a choice on continue play increasing domino value or knock them all down, then you can move on to the next level. With Domino Man I had to be observant because anything and everything will try to make you lose.

Lady Bug

Lady bug is an insect-themed maze chase produced by Universal Games, the game was released in 1981. Lady Bug was inspired by the game called Pac-Man. The goal of Lady Bug was to eat all the flowers in the maze while avoiding the insects that are trying to get you. Unlike Pac-Man lady bug had its cheats on how you could get away from the insects by shifting any twenty green gates that was in the maze. The game Lady Bug was a very challenging game to me, even though the game had its cheats I still wasn’t able to out run the insects.
