A Nightmare on Elm Street

Review: Bon Cop, Bad Cop

The movie Bon Cop, Bad Cop was not as good as i thought it would be. The killer in the movie had stupid motives for killing people and the cops would have be fired a long time ago if they acted like they did in the movie. I think that the movie would have been better if the killer did not kill people because they were involved in selling the Quebec hockey team to Colorado. The whole idea of one good cop and one bad cop as partners is not a new idea and I thought that it was not an original idea and that they should have thought of something else. I think that the movie Bon Cop, Bad Cop was not very good and I would not recommend it to anyone. I would rate this movie 2 out of 5.

Comic Life Metacognition

1. The thing that I liked the most about creating a graphic novel was that I was able create the story and use my own pictures anyway that I wanted. The thing that I liked the least about it was that I had to make up what was going on in each frame because I could not use every picture from the trip.
2. If I could do the assignment over I would probably use a different story with different pictures because I found it difficult to make a story out of pictures from museums and of monuments from Washington.
3. I did not like this type of assignment because I prefer to write things out than to make visual components for my assignments. I like writing better than comics, audio clips or videos.
4. If I could give someone about to do this assignment pointers I would tell them to use pictures that tell the story on their own because I thought that it was harder to tell a story with pictures that I had to put the story on the pictures.

Sin City Seminar Reflection

I thought that the seminar our group did on Sin City was very good. I think that we reached the expectations for the different parts of the assignment. One thing that we needed to work on was getting all the information necessary because we forgot to make a slide and talk about the Elements of style. I think that we needed to have more information on the book and not so much about the author and movie. Most of our group did not seem excited by the topic when they were talking, we all sounded uninterested. I think that I did well on the presentation when it came to knowing my information and researching the topic and finding relevant things to talk about. I think that one of the things I did wrong during my part of the presentation was that I did not talk long enough compared to the other people in my group. When I was presenting I thought that the class seemed uninterested by what I was saying, which is something that I should work on for future presentations because it is important to make seminars interesting so that the class learns about your topic. For future presentations I need to work on getting the class interested and getting more information to talk about.

Sin City: Booze, Broads and Bullets - Comparison to Sin City

The graphic novel Sin City: Booze Broads and Bullets was one of the novels used to write the movie Sin City. Booze, Broads and Bullets only has one story of the eleven that was put into the movie, "The Customer is Always Right." Some of the stories that are represented in the movie are not exactly the same as the one in the books. Some of them are not the same because they did not relate well to the other stories, content or there too many of the main characters are in the story.

The colour style in the movie was the same style as in the novel. The majority of the movie and the majority of the book are in black and white, but there are some colours on a few of the characters. In the movie there were more colours than in our graphic novel. More of the blood in the movie was red than in the books. The stories that were in the movie were very similar to the ones that were in the novels. Some of the people who have reviewed the movie say that some of the scenes were too similar to the novels. Some of the scenes in the book had voice over to tell the readers what the characters were thinking without the characters actually talking. Those scenes in the movie did not transfer to the movie very well because some think that there were too many voice overs in the movie.

The stories are meant to be happening around the same time, but some of the characters were not in the scenes that they were in the books because they were somewhere else for the movie. Some of the scenes were altered for the movie because they were not important to the stories represented in the movie. Since only some of the stories were shown in the movie, those stories are meant to be the beginning of the story not the beginnings from the books. There were scenes that were added to the movie that were not in the books. The ending of the extended cut where Becky gets into the elevator at the hospital and the man from the first scene is in there with her. Another scene that was altered was the gunfight in the alley, in the book Becky was killed in the ally and did not make it to the hospital. There were five scenes that were in the novels that were not transferred to the movie.

Sin City: Booze, Broads and Bullets - Characters

There were not many characters in the geaphic novel Sin City: Booze, Broads and Bullets did not have many characters. The main characters in the books were Marv, Blue eyes, the man, the customer, Douglas Klump, Burt Shlumbb Dwight and the women with the red dress. Some of the characters where not in the book as much as others. The characters were not really develop at all in the book because they were only in it for a short time. Most of the other characters were introduced in other books, so they were not introduced properly in the novel. The characters that were in the movie that were from our book were Marv, the man, the customer and Dwight. The most prominent character in the book was Marv.The characters that were in all of the books and in all the movies were Nancy, Hartigan, Marv, The Man, The Customer, Shellie, Dwight and Gail.

Sin City: Booze, Broads and Bullets - Writing Style

The writing style of the graphic novel Sin City: Booze, Broads and Bullets is not very good. This book is very picture based and there are not a lot of words. There was a chapter in the book, Silent Night, that was all pictures and there was no words at all in this chapter. The actual text in the book would take up about 17-20 pages if it was all on consecutive pages. The text in this book does not tell the story in the different chapters. The story is told through the pictures and the text is used to tell the audience what the characters are thinking. There is barely any dialogue and there is no narration.

I think that the writing style of this book would have been better if there was more dialogue. The stories would have been easier to understand and follow with the other books if there was more dialogue to tell the reader what happened before, or in the other books. The pictures in this book are very detailed and graphic so that they fill the need for words. i think that the book would have been better if there was more text and less picture based story-telling. Overall I think that the writing style in the graphic novel Sin City: Booze, Broads and Bullets was not very creative.
