Social Networking Spread a.k.a 3rd article (dont want printed)

Facebook
By Sam Steinhauser

The new social network that is sweeping the nation is known as Facebook. Facebook is almost like Myspace, but it is much simpler. With one internet window, you can IM, message, view profiles, and much more. On Facebook you can hook up with old friends, meet new friends and communicate with current friends. ‘
On Facebook you are required to confirm that you know the people on your friends list personally. You can communicate with your friends in a variety of ways. You can IM, message, comment and photo comment. When you sign up for Facebook you also have the choice to make your account mobility enabled. This allows Facebook to send you updates to your phone, yet another way to communicate.

The Uninvited (Movie Review/2nd article for new marking period) Written 4.23.09 (print?)

Released in January of 2009, "The Uninvited offers ironclad proof that Hollywood should give up the ghost already when it comes to remaking Asian horror movies," Says a writer from the Los Angelos Times. The movie is supposed to be a "horror " movie. The main points of the movie are that Anna, a teenageer, thinks there is something evil in her house. Anna is prone to bad dreams and hallucinations. Her mother had died in an explosion (along with her sister), and her dad is already dating again. The end of the movie was very disappointing.
This movie was also extremely confusing. If you missed one second of it, you would be completely lost. At the end of the movie you don't expect what happens.
*SPOILER ALERT!*
Anna kills her dads new girlfriend because she thinks that the girlfriend killed her sister. Then it flashes back to the explosion and ecplains how Anna caused it by silling ol from a lamp on the wooden floor and it catching fire. Anna gets arrested and goes back to a mental instutuion.
I would not reccomend this movie to anybody. It was not worth spending 5 bucks on a movie ticket to see it. If you're going to go to the movies to be scared, don't see this.

The End.
