"The Man Who Shot Liberty Valence" is a western movie starring John Wayne as "Tom Doniphon and John Stewart as "Ranse." The whole movie is a flashback of what happens in the beginning.
When Hallie and Ranse come back to Shinebone for a funeral, they talk to people about a man named Tom Doniphon, a man that lived with them in Shinebone. After Ranse has been bullied and beat up by Liberty Valence, Ranse has to fight/ duel with Valence. Once Valence is shot by "Ranse", the town goes crazy and is safe again.
Even though the movie was in black and white, I really liked the movie. The movie made me wonder what was gonna happen next in each scene. I liked the plot how they made the whole movie off Ranse and Hallie's experiences with Tom Doniphon. I liked how the movie made historical references in the 1800's.

"Toy Story" was an animated movie made in 1995 all from a computer. It starred Tom Hanks as the voice of Woody and Tim Allen as the voice of Buzz. Toy story is about a young boy named Andy's toys. Woody has been Andy's favorite toy but once Buzz comes along, Woody becomes jealous. Once Woody and Buzz become lost and stuck at a cruel kid named Sid's house, they must go on an adventure to get back to Andy.
"Bambi" was an animated movie filmed in 1942, and was based off the children's book by Felix Salten. The movie was supervised by Walt Disney. Bambi is born in the beginning of the movie. He was called the "Young Prince." Bambi's best friend is Thumper, a rabbit. Once Bambi's mom takes him to the meadow one day, Bambi realizes how dangerous the meadow is. When Winter comes, Bambi's mom gets shot and Bambi goes to live with the king of the forest. Once the spring has come, Bambi has antlers and is a lot bigger. Their forest burns down, and Bambi finds a mate, and has a kid of his own. This was my first time watching Bambi, and i liked it. It had some sad scenes it the movie.
Toy Story and Bambi are similar but different in many ways. They are similar because they are both animated films. Toy Story had many funny lines or scenes but Bambi was a more serious movie. The animation in Toy Story was better than the animation in Bambi, due to the fact that Bambi was made in 1942. Bambi had more sad scenes than Toy Story.

The Birds
"The Birds" was directed by Alfred Hitchcock in 1963. The movie stars Rod Taylor as "Mitch Brenner", Tippi Hedren as "Melanie Daniels", and Suzanne Pleshette as "Annie Hayworth." The movie is considered scary because at this time in 1963, it was a portrayal of an apocalypse.
Mitch Brenner comes into a pet shop to get some love birds. Melanie tells them they are all out, but she finds out where Mitch Brenner lives and goes to Bodega Bay to deliver the birds. Once Melanie delivers the love birds, the birds in the area start to act strange, and attack people. The reason why the birds are attacking them is because it was their planet first and they are attracted to the smoke and gas. Many people are attacked throughout the movie by the birds. A school full of children are attacked. In the end, Melanie, Mitch, Cathy,Mitch's little sister, and Lydia, Mitch's mom, leave Bodega Bay and head to San Fransisco in the end. They escape the birds.
I thought the Birds was a good movie but not really a scary one. It had some scenes where they made me jump sometimes. The movie had a great plot and great actors. I did not like the ending though because

The very first "Star Wars" was made in 1977. It was directed and written by George Lucas. The movie starred Mark Mamill as Luke Skywalker, Harrison Ford as Han Solo, Carrie Fisher as Princess Leia, and Alec Guinness as Ben Obi-One Kenobi.
Shortly after Luke Skywalker's family is killed, Luke starts living with his mentor Obi-One Kenobi.

They find a pilot named Han Solo and his Wookie named Chewbacca to take them to the other planet. They end up going to a military station where Darth Vader is the leader. Once the group gets there and they realize Princess Leia is captive there, they plan to save her and escape from the station. They end up saving Princess Leia and returning her back to her planet. Once they safe, Han Solo plans to leave and not fight with the Rebels against Darth Vader. Luke and other Rebels, go to destroy the military station with a single shot. Once the rebels are spotted, the bad guys, including Darth Vader, fight against the Rebels and Luke. After many Rebels deaths, Luke is one of the few Rebels left. He is just about to get shot when Han Solo comes and shoots at Darth Vader and makes him go away and Luke destroys the station. Han Solo and Luke are rewarded well when they get back to Princess Leia's planet.
I had never seen "Star Wars" before I watched it yesterday but I really liked the movie. I liked the action and the scenes in the movie. The action and the scenes made me interested and on the edge of my seat. I liked how they used real props throughout this movie. I plan to watch the other "Star Wars" movies soon.

Looney Tunes
Animated short stories were played before movies to entertain the audience before the actually movie was being played. They were produced from 1930 to 1969 during the Golden Age of American Animation. The target audience was children because sometimes the films could be childish or a bit silly.
In the animated short story "Rabbit of Seville"- Bugs is running from Elmer, who is shooting at him. Elmer chases Bugs into the Opera House called "Barber of Seville." Bugs and Elmer end up starring in the play, Bugs being the Barber and Elmer being the customer. Elmer does not want his hair cut but Bugs tries to cut it. There are many funny, silly scenes throughout this story.
In the animated short story "Bully for Bugs"- Bugs is lost and ends up at an Arena and has to fight a bull. The bull tries to hurt Bugs but Bugs always ends up hurting him. The bull is not a Happy one, he sees the red blanket and charges for it every time.
In the animated short story "Fast and Furryous" Wilde Coyote is trying to kill or capture the Road Runner. The coyote tries a whole bunch of schemes but every time he uses them, they always seem to back fire on him. The Road Runner is super fast.
