So I watched the horror film Psycho a few nights ago. It follows the story of a man called Norman Bates, who is, well, a psychopath.

He has a mental disorder, where he has two personalities. He is himself, and he is also his mother.

Whenever he felt attraction to a person, the mother side of him was released, and she murdered that person.

The movie starts with a woman stealing 40 thousand dollars and running away. However, it’s rainy, and not safe driving conditions, so she decides to stop for the night at the Bates Motel.

She meets Norman, who seems like a pretty nice man, until shes taking a shower and Norman (dressed as a woman) comes and murders her.

The rest of the movie is trying to figure out where the woman went, and eventually the detective and her boyfriend stumble upon the Bates Motel.
They believe the mother (who they saw in the upstairs window) knows something about the whereabouts of the woman that died, but Norman refuses, and says they can’t go talk with her.

The detective tries anyways, and is murdered by Bates.
Later on, the boyfriend and the woman’s sister come to the Bates Motel to snoop around to find clues about wether or not Bates knew about the money (they thought he killed the woman for the 40 thousand)

But instead they discover Bates’s mothers corpse locked in a fruit cellar, and it is revealed to everyone that the killer was Bates dressed as a woman.

Overall, the movie was good, but I wouldn’t really call it scary

So I watched High Noon last night.

The plot is as follows:

A small town Marshal has just gotten married, and is about to leave for his honeymoon, when he hears of an old criminal being released from jail.

Scared for the town, he returns and prepares for the criminal to come to town.

His wife begs him to run away and leave, but despite all her efforts, he stays.

The clock strikes noon, and the train transporting the criminal arrives.
The Marshals wife gets on the train to leave, but hops off right before it departs.

Meanwhile, the criminal and three of his friends try to hunt down the Mashal

The Marshal kills two of them, but then the criminal and one of his friends trap him in a shop.
The Marshals wife appears and shoots one of them, and the Marshal shoots the other.

Overall, the movie was fine, but I don’t like Westerns so I won’t be watching it again.

So I watched Terminator 2 yesterday.

To be honest, it was a pretty good movie. The plot was pretty simple and easy to understand. Basically, two Terminators (robots from the future) come to modern day.

One of them is there to kill the future rebellion leader John Conner. The other Terminator is there to save him.

John Conner himself is somewhat of a brat. He goes around running away from foster parents and stealing things. He hates his mother, who he thinks is insane with all her talk about the coming apocalypse (in the first movie a time traveler told her about what would happen)

When he realizes his mom wasn’t crazy, he realized she was just trying to protect him. He decides to go bust her out of a mental institution with the help of the friendly Terminator who must do whatever he tells him to.

Once he gets his mom, they band together to try to stop the apocalypse from ever happening. His mom decides to attempt to murder the man who created the sentient robots that enslave humanity in the future.

She fails, and once John Conner and the Terminator reach her, they decide to destroy all the research that would lead to the creation of the evil robots.

The way the Terminators were originally created was by studying the arm and CPU of the Terminator in the first movie who went back in time to kill John Conners mom. This creates a confusing paradox, as to invent the Terminator, they had to… research… the Terminator?

It was slightly confusing, but the movie ends by the good Terminator killing the evil one, and then killing himself so that nothing was left to study.

It was quite a good movie, and I would definitely recommend it.

So last night, I watched Citizen Kane.

I’ve heard that it’s the best movie ever created, but I definitely disagree. It wasn’t bad, but it wasn’t the best.

The movie begins with Charles Kane dying. His dying words are Rosebud. The rest of the movie is following a reporting trying to find meaning in his dying words.

He questions many of Kane’s associates, and each time they find out nothing that will give meaning to the words.

Throughout the film, we are shown Kane’s character. He’s full of good intention, but he’s terrible at actually doing good. He married multiple women, but they all ended up leaving him. He wasted all his money buying statues and other random items.

Overall, it was a good movie, and I enjoyed it. I would recommend it to anyone with a few hours to spare on a classic film.

Like most Americans, I like to sit on my butt all day and watch movies.

I watch many different types of movies, mostly during family movie nights. It always takes us forever to decide which movie to pick, as our family is very picky when it comes to movies.

So as I sit in my chair, waiting for a movie to be picked, I think to myself, “Huh, this boring time of waiting for a movie would be much better if I could make a blog on the internet.” So that’s exactly what I did.

Come join me as I watch random movies and discuss them.

This is an example post, originally published as part of Blogging University. Enroll in one of our ten programs, and start your blog right.

You’re going to publish a post today. Don’t worry about how your blog looks. Don’t worry if you haven’t given it a name yet, or you’re feeling overwhelmed. Just click the “New Post” button, and tell us why you’re here.

Why do this?

• Because it gives new readers context. What are you about? Why should they read your blog?
• Because it will help you focus you own ideas about your blog and what you’d like to do with it.

The post can be short or long, a personal intro to your life or a bloggy mission statement, a manifesto for the future or a simple outline of your the types of things you hope to publish.

To help you get started, here are a few questions:

• Why are you blogging publicly, rather than keeping a personal journal?
• What topics do you think you’ll write about?
• Who would you love to connect with via your blog?
• If you blog successfully throughout the next year, what would you hope to have accomplished?

You’re not locked into any of this; one of the wonderful things about blogs is how they constantly evolve as we learn, grow, and interact with one another — but it’s good to know where and why you started, and articulating your goals may just give you a few other post ideas.

Can’t think how to get started? Just write the first thing that pops into your head. Anne Lamott, author of a book on writing we love, says that you need to give yourself permission to write a “crappy first draft”. Anne makes a great point — just start writing, and worry about editing it later.

When you’re ready to publish, give your post three to five tags that describe your blog’s focus — writing, photography, fiction, parenting, food, cars, movies, sports, whatever. These tags will help others who care about your topics find you in the Reader. Make sure one of the tags is “zerotohero,” so other new bloggers can find you, too.
