Jurassic Park- Summary

I gaurentee most people have already seen this epic movie, but im still gonna give a good summary anyway because I love this movie and my grade will probably go down if I didn't.
Jurassic Park is about a genetic engineering company called InGen, headed by Mr. John Hammond, who has found out a way to clone dinosaurs. This company mined created the dinosaurs by cloning genetic material found in mosquitoes that fed on dinosaur blood, preserved in Dominican amber. Genetic sequence gaps found in this DNA is filled in with the DNA of frogs. The company creates a park on the island of Isla Nubar, 120 miles off the coast of Costa Rica. They have fenced in areas where all of the dinosaurs are kept and a vehicular tour of the park for guests shows them the entire park. Guests on the inspection tour of the park include paleontologist Alan Grant, paleobotanist Ellie Sattler, chaos theorist Ian Malcolm, Hammonds investors' attorney Donald Gennaro, as well as Hammond's grandchildren, Tim and Alexis "Lex" Murphy. Employees left on the park are Hammond himself, game warden Robert Muldoon, chief engineer Ray Arnold, and leading computer programmer Dennis Nedry The tour comes to an abrupt halt when Dennis Nedry plants a virus in the computer system to shut the security system down so he can smuggle DNA samples out to give to another company. All throughout the movie, the characters are running from the dinosaurs that broke out from their fenced in paddocks. In the end Hammond, his grand children, Alan Grant, Ellie Sattler, and Ian Malcolm are the only ones left alive on the island. They are then air lifted out of the park by an InGen company helicopter.

Devil Wears Prada- Mini Review.

Meryl Streep's impressive performance in "The Devil Wears Prada" was amazing, to say the least. Her tag team acting with co-star Anne Hathaway, Streep's 2nd assistant, gave an interesting rendition to the inside of the fashion world. In the 2006 movie, Miranda Priestly, played by Meryl Streep, is the fashion goddess who runs the highly acclaimed Runway Magazine. Her new assistant Andrea 'Andy' Sachs, played by Anne Hathaway, is hired as the second assistant to Mrs. Priestly, however she could care less about the all important fashion magazine. She eats whatever she wants and wears clothes that are shunned upon by the Priestly's entourage. Throughout the movie Mrs. Priestly puts her new assistant through hell, eventually evolving her into one of her followers. The movie has a lot of twists and turns but in the end it is interesting with a twist of comedy.

Website

I'm commenting on Tom Grant's website. I liked his site very much. The colors flowed well and also there was a nice feel to it that made you interested. It was very well put together and thought out. I liked how the tabs were obvious to what they linked to and also on the blog tab there was a link to his class blog, making it easy. Each tab had its own explanation as to what it was talking about and make it easier to understand what you were looking at. The one problem i ran into was i could not view the video of the Visual Literacy Narrative. The only other problem i ran i saw was that there wasn't many pictures to look at...other than that, it was great.
