Chapter 8 - Journal Entry #2

If you were a movie producer, what would you do to make a box office hit in 2008?

If I was a movie producer, I would create either a Pixar film turning The Office into a feature-length movie, or star David Archuleta in High School Musical 4.

I looked up the greatest American films of all time to see what kind of genres they were, and this is what I found:

1. Gone with the Wind

2. Shrek the Third

I believe that people love two types of movies - 1. the unrealistic ones that take them out of this world, and 2. the movies that touch their hearts and make them leave the movie theater wanting to be better.
