Lights!
CAMERA!!I thought this year (my second year as sponsor) I would blog the movies that are viewed by me and the students of the Shoals High School Film Club. My family and I moved into the small community a couple of years ago and I was excited to hear the small high school had a film club for the students to view movies that they may not have had the opportunity to see. They needed a sponsor late last school year and I was glad to step in and finish off the school year with my favorite movies. This school year, I have a plan to change things up and give a broad history of movies. I decided to cut back from viewing movies every Wednesday to just two Wednesday a month. Plus, we will start watching movies in September starting with films made in the 1930s. Each month with progress to the next decade, until we reach our present decade. This journey will take us to the end of April. In May, the students will decide on a movie of their choice and my approval. Until this year, most of the movies have been independent films or current movie/DVD releases. I sat and watched the students enjoy them, but I didn't think they really learned from them. In presenting a broad history of film, they will be able to see the progression of dialogue, cinematography, settings, style, acting, editing, scripting, and tons of other film traits. Plus, we will be going from black and white talkies to computer generated action films. Each blog will present the movie we viewed that Wednesday. The students are free to leave comments and critiques on the movies they have viewed.
ACTION!!!!!!!!!
These are a few of our favorite films.

I wonder if we'll have many of those films here so I can watch them as well....
The ending was a little racy for a 1930s movie, I liked it, it was worth staying up till 1 in the bloody morning on a school night. Sorry I couldn't make the meeting
