For artec news this week I am doing a review on the movie Colors. I think that it is a really good movie. If you know anything about gangs that’s pretty much what it is about. I think its pretty accurate about crip and blood gangs, about how they get down and what not. For some reason there isn’t any white people in either of the gangs in that movie, I’m not really sure why, but something tells me its because they are black gangs and not white gangs. (hint hint). Anyways, that is my review for the week. Check the movie out if you like that kind of stuff, or if you are frontin’ and need to get things straight. Or uh, if you’ve lived in Utah your whole life.

Here’s a poem that I wrote when I was fourteen and it’s a love poem that I made as a song too. Ooooh yea Ooooh yea Ooooh yea Ooooh yea I got to tell you something straight That I love you I missed you too. I remember the first time we kissed I remember the first time we held hands I remember the first time we danced. Guy: I got to tell you something straight that I’m in love with your heart that I love you too. I remember the first time we walked down the hall I remember the first time we went to the carnival I remember the first time we went down to the beach I remember the first time we kissed.

When you're down and blue We all see you. The way your smile goes upside down and into a frown. The day has changed to sun to rain. You can’t get something to work. And when you’re down and blue We will always see you. We will turn your frown into a smile. Look outside it’s sunny again. And it all depended on your mood. By Destani

My opinion is that we should take care of our environment. Why should we take care of our environment? The reason why we should is because our environment is really dirty and trashy, because people don’t care where they throw their garbage. When they try to throw it away and miss the garbage can they don’t bother to pick it up. I think that when we miss the garbage can we should go over there and pick it up or when we see garbage on the ground or on the floor be nice and pick it up. We need to be careful and respect our environment, because some people like to see animals and when we have a dirty environment they die or just leave and that’s their home. We don’t like it when people trash our homes so why are we trashing animals homes?

February 3 1995 two famous rock stars died in a plane crash. There names were Ritchie Valens and Buddy Holly. They are remembered. February 3 2009 people are still listening to their music. By: Ruben They flipped a coin to see who gets to ride on the plane. Ritchie won, he picked heads. The other guys had to ride in the cold van, but they lived and Buddy Holly and Ritchie Valens died. If one of the other guys had got on the plane instead of Ritchie or Buddy they would have died instead.

Book reviews

NEW MOON

Edward and Bella are boyfriend and girlfriend, but there is one thing Bella does not know about Edward. Edward is a vampire, but she does not know that for now. The author, Stephenie Meyer, is becoming a big hit. Stephenie Meyer wrote four books like Twilight, New Moon, Breaking Dawn. and Eclipse, but Stephenie Meyer is writing a new book, but from Edwards’s point of view.

This is a poem about my friends and the teachers and what happened in sixth grade and up.

The teachers, when me and my friends were in sixth grade, made us laugh a lot. Every time me and my friends went to school, or when we were at lunch we always played teatherball, whenever we played teatherball I got hit in the face a lot with the teatherball. My friends asked me if I was ok and I said no I’m not ok so then I had to go to the office. There is this teacher that writes songs and makes his own guitars, he sang us songs and everything and he made us laugh a lot.

My friends cried on one of the songs and I also cried over one of the songs it was really good some of the kids made fun of that teacher except me. My friends said he retired I was so very sad when he retired I don’t think I will see my most favorite teacher ever again I wish that I can be kind of like him some day. I will always think of him being there when I am having trouble with something and listen to a song that he has listened to before.

My Favorite Band



My favorite band is My Chemical Romance. Because the drumbeats are cool so are the guitars. The one I like the most is the guitars and how they make their noise with them. I listen to their music all the time when I’m bored. My Chemical Romance is an awesome band. The first song I listened to was Welcome To The Black Parade !

Lil Wayne is one of the biggest rappers alive in his first week Tha Carter 3 sold 1.5 million cds. The hit song Lollipop was his first hit single on Tha Carter 3. He has been through a lot in his life. But no matter what he keeps his head up like his nose is bleedin. He might not be the greatest example, but he is the best artist alive. By: Memory

Dj Dean Dj Dean is a techno artist. I have been listening to him for years. I love him, because he knows how to spin something. I can dance and glowstick too. You listen to him and you just can’t help but move to the beat. A song that you should all listen to is Dj Dean (Play it Hard). I love him so you should too!! By Sadie

The Warriors! This movie is sick. It’s about some old school gangs back in the day. They go to a meeting where all gangs are there to represent their colors, when Sirus the leader of a head gang is shot and killed by a rival gang. They then spread the rumor that the warriors killed him, so the warriors are in for one heck of a night. All gangs are after them to retaliate. Could they be caught and killed or will they stay strong and make it through?

Book Review: The Tommyknockers I chose to do a book review on the book, The Tommyknockers by Stephen King. I have read almost all of Stephen King’s books and I really liked this one, it is about a girl who discovers an alien ship in the woods behind her house. When she enlists a friend of hers to help her dig out the ship, the more they uncover it the more the air in their town changes. As this happens, the townspeople begin to be able to read each others thoughts and have strange ideas on how to build gadgets and weapons and whatnot. The only person this doesn’t happen to is the girl's friend who has a metal plate in his head. The people change more and more and their bodies become extremely strange. They uncover the ship and they go inside and find dead aliens and technology. There is a very unexpected twist when they plan to kill the girl's friend, because he can’t be trusted. This is a very interesting book, but also long, at about 780 pages. I give this book 4 stars.

My Opinion I don’t think that people should be judged by the music they choose to listen to. Because that puts all kinds of stereotypes on all different kinds of people. Like people that label them elves as Juggalos, because they listen to I.C.P. They are automatically labeled as violent. I don’t think that it’s right I don’t know about you, but that’s my opinion. – Andy A.

BIO DOME Bio Dome is like the best movie ever! It’s one of the older movies that everyone still likes to watch. It was made in 1996. I remember the first time I saw it was when I was 12 years old. My friend’s mom rented it and we didn’t want to watch it, because we thought it was going to suck, because it was so old! But she finally talked us in to watching it and we loved it! It is so dumb, it’s funny! It’s one of my favorite movies of all times. By Bonnie

Music Review I think Lil Wayne is one of the best artists of his time. The song Got Money is featured on his hit album The Carter 3. He has sold over a million copies in the past year. I would rate his CD as a five stars. I would rate him as a five star artist. I like him best, because his music is a inspiration to me. By Eddie

Music Reviews Brotha Lynch: Season of da sickness

Brotha Lynch Hung is a rapper from Sacramento, California. His album Season Of Da Siccness is probably on of my favorite albums. I highly recommend it to anybody with an open mind. This album has good songs like Locc 2 Da Brain, 781 Redrum, Rest In Piss, and Season Of Da Siccness. It has a lot more songs, but those are just a few of my personal favorites. Look him up sometime. I give it a 6 stars even more than a 5.

video game review

I’m doing a video game review on BULLY

In this game your parents leave you in a prep school full of greasers, preppies and jocks. You have to go to class and do missions like chasing your enemies down and get items from them. This is one of my all time favorite games, because you can pull the fire alarm, climb trees and do missions. Every one is against everyone. And it’s for two different Gaming systems. I give this three Stars.

The name of the movie I am reviewing is Hancock. I think that it is cool, because he is strong and he picks up things and he is fast at running. He is so funny and I wish I was as strong as him and as fast. My favorite part was when a girl was by a car, because she got shot and he went to go and get her and he went to go and fight those guys and they had big guns. They tried to shoot at Hancock, but he will never die. I like this movie a lot. I give it 5 stars. by RJ

VIDEO GAME REVIEW

Kingdom Harts Chain of Memories

Kingdom Harts Chain of Memories is the game between the first and second harts games. Sora and his friends Doneld and Goofey go on a quest to save King Mickey and Sora’s friends Kire and Riku. The Organization has a quest of their own but you’re just going to have to play to find out. It’s incredibly hard. I highly recommend this game to you. Thank you MK
