xXx return of Xander cage (response writing)



For the past 3 Weeks Ruma J (my class) has been writing responses for movies,books,art and even rugby matches! Basicly we chose something to write a response on, after we wrote the response we had to make a creative response. This could include A fake movie trailer, highlights of the rugby match and artwork. I did my response on the moive xXx return of xander cage; for my creative response I did a movie trailer.
enjoy

 xXx Return of Xander Cage


xXx return of xander cage is a HIGH action movie directed by D. J. Caruso and written by Rich Wilkes. The movie is about Xander cage (vin diesel) who has to race against time to recover a sinister weapon called pandora's box,  which can control  every military satellite in the world.  Xander cage finds himself entangled in a deadly conspiracy that points to collusion at the highest levels of government. With 2 hours of intense action, xXx Is a 85 million dollar movie, with some of the best leading actors.


xXx has breath taking stunts, with high risk and high reward. This movie leaves you on the edge of your seat.


The extremely high action is perfect and is just what people want. The majority of action movies these days are boring until the end, when there is 5 minutes of just explosions which in itself is a bit boring. In the first 10 minutes of xXx, Xander cage jumps off a phone tower with skis on and skis down a dirt mountain. A critic stated: “With all the requisite explosions, chases and gunfights you'd want, Vin Diesel returns to revive yet another action franchise in a highly entertaining, deliriously preposterous crash-bam adventure”.


The stunts are Incredible, with lots of dangerous scenes like the downhill longboarding , Massive fight scenes WITH explosions, Skiing down a dirt hill through the forest, after jumping off a huge phone tower, and let's not forget the motorbike fighting scene. One viewer said the movie is “filled with lots of action and gunfights, definitely worth watching,Vin Diesel never seems to disappoint.”


The expert script somehow is able to keep you entertained for 1 hour and 50 minutes which is a long time. The nonstop action is what people want to see. And the little jokes just make movie exceptional and more enjoyable to watch.


Overall I think this movie is Funny,action packed and has some great directing.
The reviews might say otherwise, but I say that you should get off of your chair and go watch this movie, because you don't want to miss it.

My weekend

This weekend was a Fun one, so I will start it from the top. On saturday we played league. we lost. But it was a great game we had moments of ABSOLUTE GLORY. and as always we had moments horrible tackling. That day i picked up the all blacks jersey. oh also we lost the league game by the way. That night me and niko were home alone because tasmin was in blenheim and dad and mum had to go to the hotel. So I made A Tomato based sauce with onions and sausages that was in the sauce base AND IT WAS REALLY GOOD. The next day We went down to the lake and drove the boat to a beach and had a cook up with the tosty pie machine which you stick into the fire so it gets really hot and cooks the sandwich. We  went home and chilled out so it was a great weekend.

My Weekend

On the weekend I played league. We lost big time but we got a lot out of that game My kicking and passing was good and so was my tackling overall I had a good game but not everybody did One of our wingers were nowhere to be seen when the Opposition came out there he was nowhere to be found. Anyway on sunday we worked around the house I cleaned the car and then after lunch we went to the hotel and grabbed some Wood. When we got home I pumped up a rugby world cup 2011 ball and started to learn a new Kicking strategy.

The Icknield way response

The Icknield Way painted by Spencer Gore is a wonderful Piece of artwork. It is a painting of a Valley when the sun is setting. The painting is of a country road in 1912, the beautiful lights of the sky is beaming down onto the grass and making the world have a pinkish tinge to it. The sky steals the show with its vibrant colors which can stop you in your tracks.


This artwork shows Spencer Gore's skill with his brush and lets the viewer finally see what the perfect sunset is, the artworks strong points are color choice,landscape and its calming nature.


The calming nature
This artwork captures the perfect sunset. With no human life to be seen, no Roar of a motor or the sound of the city, you can really relax.
The Calming colours like green,yellow and pink , beaming sun and that  you're left  to yourself Is, for me, very calming.


Color choice
Spencer Gore used very very nice colors choices, with the use of hot and cold it relaxes the eyes and you wish that you were there. The sky steals the show with its pink yellow contrast. The greens that Spencer used brings out the valley and brings thought to this painting.



How this links to me
This links to me because at my house there is a similar farm rode on the top of some planes when I sit there and watch the sunset it makes me thing about a lot of things and it makes me feel the same as when I look at this painting.


Overall I like this painting because of the sky and the road in the middle. The background,middleground and foreground all contrast each other.


I recommend going to see this painting In person or learning about spencer gore.

My weekend!

On this long weekend we were able to chill out so much. because it was the queen's birthday there was no league game. so at 2 instead of league i sat down and watched the rugby it was crusaders vs highlanders a huge game for the crusaders because they had not lost a game. 19-10 was the half time score with the crusaders with a good lead over the highlanders but at the 75 minute mark it was 19-22 to the highlanders. Then the highlanders THEN THEY LET A PENALTY THROUGH. and michael hunt GOT THE KICK!
the score was 22-22 and the siren sounded and it was now overtime. with 15 fazes white crockett told hunt JUST DO SOMETHING. so hunt lined up a 40m drop kick and it was OVER.
