Finally: Yearbooks Have Arrived

They are hot off the press and waiting for you at Legacy Oaks. Again, Mrs. P and the journalism class extend our many apologies for the prolonged delay.

Also: it is not too late to purchase a yearbook despite earlier notices otherwise. Our minimum purchase was 100 books, and only around 70 were sold; thus, several are still available for purchase.

Get your books and spread the word!

On an entirely unrelated note: It's great to see bloggers maintaining this site. Keep it up! People are reading it. My relatives halfway across the world in the Philippines actually perused your writing when I mentioned the blog. Have a great summer to all.

Wanted


This movie is a non-stop action movie that has you on the edge of your seat with every bullet. the cast consest of


James McAvoy as Wesley Gibson: A meek 25-year-old who works in a cubicle. Gibson has a disloyal girlfriend and a boss who bullies him.McAvoy was cast in the lead role in October 2006. McAvoy, who had screen-tested for the role early in 2006, was initially rejected due to the studio seeking an actor that had conventional Hollywood leading-man looks and physique. The actor was later recalled, being considered the "runt of the litter" of those who tested. According to McAvoy, "They [ultimately] wanted someone geeky." The Scottish actor, who portrays an American in the film, trained for the film's action scenes.
Morgan Freeman as Sloan: The charismatic assassin partner of Wesley Gibson's deceased father.
Angelina Jolie as Fox: One of Fraternity assassins who mentors Gibson and serves as the love interest. Jolie was cast in March 2007 after screenwriter Dean Georgaris rewrote the screenplay to tailor the role for her.
Common as The Gunsmith: A professional gunman who trains others to use weapons.
Konstantin Khabensky as The Exterminator: Khabensky, who starred in Bekmambetov's Night Watch, was cast so the director would have a familiar face around Wanted.
Marc Warren as The Repairman
John Carmichael as The Butcher: A master of knife work who knows how to make an opponent bleed to death within minutes. He trains Wesley in the use of knives.
Terence Stamp as Pekwarsky: A master in the science of killing. Pekwarsky operates as a rogue agent outside of The Fraternity.
David O'Hara as Mr. X: Was possibly the one of the greatest assassins in the world. He was killed in a elaborate trap set up by Cross.
Chris Pratt as Barry
Kristen Hager as Cathy
Thomas Kretschmann as Cross: Rogue assassin who betrayed the Fraternity, killing its members off one by one.
with this awesome cast the movie can not fail.

Infamous


Sucker Punch, a game designing company, has recently released new information on their latest game, Infamous. The game features a huge atmosphere in which the main character, Dylan, may explore to his heart's content. In the game, Dylan survives a massive explosion that engulfs the majority of his hometown, Empire City. Upon surviving the blast, Dylan discovers that he has been endowed with superhuman abilities. Now, what the player chooses to use Dylan's powers for is almost completely up to them. The gamer may use the powers to save civilians but not help themselves or vice-versa. This decision will cause the way that the general public perceives you. The graphics for the game are state of the art and the game play is said to be pretty solid. X-box 360 owners will be disappointed though, because the game will only be released on the PlayStation 3 console. Overall, the game well-rounded and seems as though it will do very well.

Summer Break

The end of this school year has arrived and everyone is excited they have the opportunity to take a break from the hustle and bustle of school. But what about the blog? Well, I speak only for myself but I will continue to write for the blog regardless if no one reads it. Bear in mind though ex-journalism students: any help would be greatly appreciated. As for everyone else, enjoy the summer break and check back on the blog regularly for new posts.
