The Perks of Being A Wallflower (FC100 Review)

The Perks of Being A Wallflower the film that everyone says it's a great movie, that is was so amazing for it's fantastic characters and having the director being the guy who made the book was an excellent idea. Weeeellllllllll, I don't think so I think the movie is O.K just that, I don't really understand why so many people really like this movie. I mean I understand it had great morals and the acting was good it's just there are many problems in this movie. I saw this movie twice and I still see the problems it has. The first one being that it feels a bit unbelievable like the high school that the main character is in is filled with really mean people. That is not real to me. I have been to high school before and I have seen few but never so many in just one school. Yes I know there are bullies in school and people who have conditions, but this school feels like still unreal to me. Yes I also know this movie takes place in 90's but still it doesn't feel real. The second problems I have in the movie is that I felt uncomfortable when watching a few scenes in the movie. There is a few parts where charlie and his friends are doing a dance on stage for a celebration of the rocky horror picture show, I just said to myself "Movie have you have no shame" I know that the characters are having fun but I still feel uncomfortable. I also felt frustrated on how charlie was trying to break up with his girlfriend and he does it by kissing Sam right in front of her,OUCH! That hurt from here not only that but there were better solutions even at that time. Now your probably think I hate this movie but I don't I think it's O.K and that the actors was did amazing performances and the lessons in the movies are great. If you want a better film like this I say check out The Silver Linings Playbook I also did a review of that with the help of my friend CJF1994.

Does Spongebob Squarepants Need To Leave? (By FC100)

The First thing in your mind is why would you ask a question like this. Well ever since the new seasons of Spongebob came around, people  can't help that the character is suffering from not having the original writers and the other cast of friends are losing their entertaining edge. That the series is starting to lose it's audience. I will explain how Spongebob became popular and how his career started to hit rock bottom.




Let's Begin, Nickelodeon shows were becoming a huge hit but then after a few of there shows we having there series finale. they needed a new show to bring that will be lasting in 2000's. In May 1, 1999 commercials for a new show called Spongebob Squarepants was about to air and the first episode that hit was "Help Wanted".



 The episode plot was about an odd character named Spongebob who had just become the age to work and dreams of working at one of the most popular fast food Restaurants in Bikini Bottom, The Krusty Krab. Spongebob goes inside and finds Mr.Krabs and squidward being there funny and annoying  as themselves, Spongebob ask if he can have a job at the restaurant but Mr.Krabs doesn't find interest in hiring so he sends him on a wild goose chase to find a spatula that doesn't exist or so he thought. Then after Spongebob leaves to go find it, but then a bunch of anchovies starts demanding for food and won't leave until they get some. Both Mr.Krabs and Squidward start to panic, then spongebob leaps into action with the new spatula and ends up feeding all the anchovies, they leave and Spongebob gets the job of being a fry cook. It could have ended there but then his friend Patrick comes to order krabby patty, then Spongebob makes a whole batch of them and literary shoots Patrick out of the Restaurant while Squidward is screaming in panic and that left a impression on how the show will be for the audience.

After the first season the show ended up becoming popular and really pushed the line of great comedy and lovable characters. When the first three seasons were becoming a success, Hollywood decided to pick up this show and decided that it needed a movie.

We got "The Spongebob Squarepants Movie" which hit theaters everywhere and was hype up to the roof and having a lot of promotion with fast-food restaurant Burger King to sell toys for the movie. The film was release November 19, 2004 and was a critical and box office success. Many fans of the series loved the film and so did the general audience. The one thing many didn't count on was that the film was suppose to end the series on a good note. But like every popular show the series was announce to continue on with season 4 which came a year after the film.








Season 4 was only find and not really that much talked about, the reason for that was because after the movie the original writers of the show had left and new writers ended up taking new ideas for the show. Then trouble had just started when the newer season of Spongebob even to this day started loosing there audience because the characters in the show and even Spongebob started losing there edge and suffer through a lot of of episodes that just were weird and not really funny like before.

I have conversations with friends about shows and not any one of them ever talked about Spongebob anymore because of the bad seasons that came. I need to ask the question again does Spongebob need to leave from T.V and not come back after the suffering of the further seasons. Well I thought about for a while but then on December 6, 2012 a new Spongebob Squarepants Christmas Special was announce, I thought to myself that there is no way that they could top the "Christmas Who?" episode with this. Well somehow I was 100% wrong not only was the special great it was the best Spongebob I have seen in a long time.

This special had good jokes and a memorable song since "Rip your Pants' . The episode was not the traditional 2D style animation but a Stop Motion animation, that was just great to watch and pulled a lot into the characters we loved. By bring back there good personality and fun humor. This is a special you have to see and I won't spoil it for you.











Now I know the show hasn't fully died out of any fans minds, because people are now remembering Spongebob once again. So I know that character is still fun he just got lost for while and soon he will be coming back. I will still remember this character for a long time, also it has just been announce.


A Sequel to the first movie is in development, I just hope that this movie will be good as the first and maybe Spongebob will be more remember once again.
