Gym, Tan, Laundry!
One of shows that we ended up watching in class was none other than Jersey Shore. Although Jersey Shore is considered a reality television show, it in no way portrays reality, yet it is still is amusing to watch. I am personally not one to make sure to tune into MTV every Jersday, but I still find watching Jersey Shore entertaining. Seeing the crazy things they do and all of the wild situations that occur in their everyday lives is definitely something that not only me, but millions of people find entertaining to watch. Watching Snooki break down or the crazy fights that go on between the cast makes watching every episode a little different. Watching a “reality show” like Jersey Shore may not show an exact reflection of society, it does show how crazy our society is becoming and what extremes some people will go to. Although it may not be the classiest show to watch, I would consider this to be a good show only for the fact that it is entertaining and funny to watch.
Couponing Gone Wild
One of the reality shows we watched was Extreme Couponing. This show takes clipping 50 cents off a loaf of bread out of the Sunday paper to a whole new level. This show used to be one of my favourite shows to watch, but each show started becoming the same thing over and over again, only with different people. When the first shows of the series came out, it was a good show and was very interesting and surprises to see these people getting hundreds and even thousands of dollars in food and toiletries all for a couple of pennies. Now, it seems as though it is quite greedy and not good for the economy at all if they are getting away with getting all of that stuff for free. It is an alright show to watch when there is nothing else good to watch on TV, but still isn’t one of the better shows that is on the air now. The idea and concept of the show is a good, yet there doesn’t seem to be much of a change between the episodes. It used to be very hyped up, but not so much anymore.
Another film that we watched in class was Be Kind, Rewind, a comedy starring Jack Black. This movie was a very funny one to watch, and they didn’t have to use any fancy special effects to make it a good movie. I had never heard of the movie before but was glad I got a chance to watch it in class. Even though comedies now a days are vulgar and full of swearing, this movie was funny without the need for all of the creeds that comedies in the modern day need. The movie has a very unique plotline that has never been done before, and the idea of sweding movies is a very creative. I enjoyed watching it and it was one of my favourite things that we watched in class. I would recommend people to watch it since it is very well thought out and the way they do things is different and cool to see.
