The Cost of Being Free



“The Cost Of Being Free”
By: Ashley M. Ashley  c-2009 MD

1) It’s that time of Year,
The celebration of Independence Day.
Where you will hear,
The people's cheer on this special day.
But what questions me,
As I watch the fireworks go up then fall.
Are the heros of America actually happy,
Of what has become of us all?
They fought for this land,
So it’s people could be free.
But does the American people truly understand,
Independence Day true meaning?

(Chorus)
**The cost of being free,
Costed the lives of many women and men.
The breaking of hearts of families,
The wall of names built in remembrance.
The land full of tombs,
Where our fallen lay.
The continuing of sending of our troops,
To continue fighting for us today.
This is what it cost,
For this land and its people to be free.
It's lives that were lost,
The cost of being free**

2) Today you will see family and friends,
Wearing their military loved one's face with pride.
On a shirt or hat and wearing a smile,
But just take a look into their eyes.
Then you can see the pain,
Of them having to let their loved one(s) go.
So they can fight to keep us safe,
But if they will be safe, it’s always hard to know.
But then there are some people out there,
Who just want to play and pretend.
Think nothing of July 4th,
Just a time of games and partying.
Who say they stand for America,
But when asked to help they run away.
Who say they are role model Americans,
But stay stoned or drunk all day.
Who take their freedom for granted,
Not thinking how they got it or from who.
But the question I really want to ask,
Does that sound like a true American to you?

Chorus**
The cost of being free,
Costed the lives of many women and men.
The breaking of hearts of families,
The wall of names built in remembrance.
The land full of tombs,
Where our fallen lay.
The continuing of sending of our troops,
To continue fighting for us today.
This is what it cost,
For this land and its people to be free.
It's lives that were lost,
The cost of being free**

3) It’s our brothers, sisters, children,
Mothers, fathers, friends.
Husbands, wives, our family in Military,
Who are the ones willing to defend.
This big country of ours,
This land of the brave and free.
They're the reason why today,
Us Americans are celebrating.
So let us all clap our hands,
And give remembrance and praise.
To the ones who lives were lost,
And to the ones still fighting for America today..
“Happy Independence Day and God Bless Everyone"

Movie Rating: "Warm Bodies" --Comedy, Horror, Romance--

"Warm Bodies"


2013
--Comedy, Horror, Romance--
Director: Jonathan Levine
Writers: Jonathan Levine (Screen Play), Isaac Marion (Novel)


RATING: 8.5/10

THESIS:

   After R (a highly unusual zombie) saves Julie from an attack, the two form a relationship that sets in motion a sequence of events that might transform the entire lifeless world.


OUR THOUGHTS:

   This is a movie (as you can obviously tell) is about ZOMBIES. But is not just any zombie movie that you may come across in the horror section in your local video store. This is a tale of two different people, one alive and one dead, making a change in the world just by using love. Ashley: "To me, to sum it all up, this is a chick flick movie but in zombie style. They both fall in love and love conquers all.  lol" Goldie: "I loved this movie." The reason why it has a 8.5 out of 10 rating because it was at some points it seemed to drag on but the plot stayed on track. Sometime when the character would "Think" it was like... okay... lets get with on with more action. But it did have a great ending. Just there was some parts to it we both were "What tha??????"   So that is why it got the rating it got.

Movie Rating "Jack The Giant Slayer" --Adventure--

"Jack The Giant Slayer"

2013
--Adventure--
Director: Bryan Singer
Writers: Darren Lemke, Christopher McQuarrie, Dan Studney, David Dobkin

Rating: 10/10


THESIS:

   The ancient war between humans and a race of giants is reignited when Jack, a young farmhand fighting for a kingdom and the love of a princess, opens a gateway between the two worlds.
OUR THOUGHTS:
   
   Based on the children story Jack and Beanstalk, this adult version is filled with lots of adventure, action, drama and even some comedy. This movie will have you sitting at the edge your seat wondering what is going to happen next. Ashley: "I thought this movie had a very good plot line from the beginning, middle, and finally at the very end. It did not have any breaks or even drawn out scenes. I just could not wait what would happen next." Goldie: It was awesome. That is all I can really say about it. Especially since I don't normally watch these types of movies. I was very impressed and loved it!" The only thing we need to tell to parents that it does have a lot of violent and some scenes that can be gory/ghastly to some. Ashley: "Gory in my opinion is the movie "The Hills have Eyes" so I would say this is more ghastly. No blood.. Just parts flying everywhere." Goldie: "Yeah, there is no blood I don't think but they made sure the audience knew what was happening to give them an idea."

So that is why we gave this movie a 10 out of 10 because the plot line was on track, was very suspenseful and we just absolutely loved it!

Next Movie Rating: "Warm Bodies"








Movie Rating: "A Haunted House" --Comedy--

"A Haunted House"

2013
--Comedy--
Director: Michael Tiddes
Writers: Marlon Wayans, Rick Alvarez

Rating: 9/10

Thesis:

Malcolm and Kisha move into their dream home, but soon learn a demon also resides there. When Kisha becomes possessed, Malcolm - determined to keep his sex life on track - turns to a priest, a psychic, and a team of ghost-busters for help.
Our Thoughts:

   This movie is basically  making fun of the movie Paranormal Activity. It does the same thing as the other movie called "Scary Movie" has done about movies in the past. It might as well apart of the "Scary Movie" Franchise. lol But anyways, at the beginning of this movie, it may seem as if it might be drawn out but that does not last long at all. Through out this whole movie, we were laughing almost the whole time. But when it got to the point between the middle and end of the movie, it was a little drawn out. Goldie: "It was like they ran out of ideas." Ashley: "Or they was trying to give everyone some breathing time from  laughing so hard." But other than that, it was a great movie filled with lots of  laughs and is NOT decent for children!!! Oh my goodness, I will not say why but you HAVE to see this movie. There is a lot of funny sexual explicit scenes along with language. Ashley: "At least they only said Gosh Dern (You know what I mean) once or twice through out the movie from what I recall." So that is why we both agreed that this movie rating gets 9/10.
