Carlos Salas/Week 4/Mean GIrls

    Mean Girls is a movie following an Africa raised girl Cady (Lindsay Lohan) finding herself starting regular high school and like every new kid to high school confused.She's instantly awed by what envious peers call the Plastics, privileged girls who set the style for dress, behavior, and everything else.That's right--there's a trio of eponymous anti-social young ladies here who toe the line of teen girl plausibility by wearing jeans only once a week. They quickly become fascinated by the Cady the new girl at school who hasn't claimed a clique. Bossy but beautifully scandalous, blonde Regina George (Rachel McAdams) welcomes Cady to join them at their table in the cafeteria. Along with dippy Karen (newcomer Amanda Seyfried), who claims meteorological insight based on the whims of her boobs, and quirky and desperate to belong Gretchen Weirners (Lacey Chabert), who gloats over her family's fortune built upon her dads invention of the  toaster strudels, the girlie gang hits the mall.
Before long Cady becomes one of them, betraying the nerds, her artsy friends, Janis (Lizzy Caplan) and Damian (Daniel Franzese),  who've taken her under their wing.
This movie is sassy, edgy and original, its a classic movie people watch when they want to laugh or be happy and its big among young generation. To me this movie is an all time classic and I give this movie 4.5 out of 5 stars.

Carlos Salas/Week 3/The Fosters

This week I have to change it from movies to shows because I really want to talk about a season I recently spent most of my free time and sometimes my homework time watching. The show is called The Fosters is an American teen/family drama series on ABC family that premiered on June 3, 2013. The series follows the lives of the Foster family, a lesbian couple raising children together. One of the many things about The Fosters is that its executive producer is Jennifer Lopez a.k.a J Lo or Jenny from the block. Lena Adams Foster (Sherri Shaum) and Stef Adams Foster (Teri Polo) are a same-sex couple living in California. Lena, a school administrator, and Stef, a police officer, are raising three children: Stef's biological son from a previous marriage, Brandon (David Lambert), and a pair of adopted twins, Jesus (Jake T. Austin) and Mariana (Cierra Ramirez). In the pilot episode, Lena and Stef also agree to take on a troubled foster child, Callie (Maia Mitchell), and her younger brother, Jude (Hayden Byerly). Their lives become more complicated as the family members deal with Stef being partnered at work with her ex-husband, Mike also Brandons father (Danny Nucci), with Mariana secretly reaching out to her drug-addicted birth mother for a hope for care, and with a growing romantic attraction between Callie and Brandon, step siblings. What I particularly like about this show is the modern display of a family that's different but caring and how they all particularly have their own problems that they have to all deal with but they all do this together. I highly recommend this show and rate this show 4.5/5 stars.

This show has won the The Choice TV Breakout show from the Teen Choice awards.
It is also nominated for Outstanding Drama Series at the GLAAD Media Awards.

Carlos Salas/Week 2/Period 5/The Hunger Games

      The Hunger Games was a thrilling and dramatic movie based on Suzanne Collins’ hugely successful trio of young adult novels, that portrays an era where a country is divided into districts (1-12). The story opens with the annual Hunger Games, a game where two members of each district; one male and one female, are forced to kill each other in a one man standing battle.
      The story centers around two teenagers from District 12 Katnis Everdeen (played by Jennifer Lawrence) and Peeta Mellark (played by Josh Hutcherson). Peeta was chosen and Katnis was a special situation that I won't ruin for those who haven't watched. These two teenagers go to see the rest of the districts along with their drunk mentor, and former winner of the Hunger Games Haymitch Abernathy (Woody Harrelson) and Elizabeth Banks as the fluttery, ineffectual official helper-outer Effie Trinket. The tributes see the capitol and the fame and also meet the other 22 year olds who are willing to kill to put on a good show and save their lives.
      I personally am in love with this movie series and im not one to fall for those Twilight kind of things, but the Hunger Games has incredible acting, humor, action, love interests and just everything you want in a movie. I give this movie 4 out of 5 stars for its great actors and its story line

Carlos Salas/Week 1/Carrie

I have changed my twenty percent project to movie reviews and I will be reviewing movies or a movie that I watched lately. This week I watched Carrie and it was a thrilling movie that wasn't that horrific and I actually really enjoyed. It touched me because Carrie (Chloe Grace Moretz) was a girl who was unfairly treated all her life, Chloe's acting as Carrie was phenomenal, she made me feel truly sorry for her. Carrie is a movie that keeps you guessing and I recommend you should go watch it because you will feel a rush of emotions, some of the plot line was really weak and dull but overall I rate this movie 3.5 out of 5 total stars. An average entertaining but not scary movie.
