Eagle Eye The Best Moive of The Fall
By: Daniel Wert
The hottest movie of the fall is called Eagle eye and this movie opened up on Friday September 26. The movie eagle eye is playing in most theaters around the U.S. The movie Eagle eye is a futuristic and dramatic thriller that is bound to glue your eyes to the movie screen for the whole 118 minutes of the movie.
Jerry Shaw (played by Shia LaBeouf), barely has time to mourn the loss of his brother before he enters his apartment one evening to find it packed with sniper rifles, fighter jet manuals, and enough explosives ingredients to level a small town. He has no idea where it has come from until a strange women’s voice on the other end of his cell phone informs him that he is about to be arrested.
Rachel Holloman( played by Michelle Monaghan) has just sent her young son off for a band trip and is out drinking with friends when she receives a cell call, the same voice informing her of the impending danger her son faces unless she does as she’s told. She refuses to believe it, until the monitors in a storefront window are made to show her son on his train’s security camera.
Whenever they resist, they are forced back in line by this voice, an entity which can access and control cell phones, security cameras, traffic lights, trains, the automatic cranes in a junkyard, and more. It’s a ridiculous concept, but so are many things on which our favorite movies are based. This movie is based in the united States and the characters in the movie travel around the U.S running from the police, FBI Secret service, you name it. other actors starring in this movie are Billy Bob Thorton, Rosario Dawson, Michael Chiklis, Anthony Mackie, Ethan Embry, Anthony Azizi, Cameron Boyce, Lynn Cohen, Charles Carroll, William Sadler, Deborah Strang, Dariush Kashani and there are many other less important actors.
The movie asks the question like, ‘What if we were able to take all that stuff and turn it against us into something we didn’t want to be?’” said Eagle Eye producer Alex Kurtzman. Kurtzman and director D.J. Caruso and the writers John Glenn and Travis Wright, stopped by the KXAN Austin News studio to talk about the film that has a very high-profile name attached to it.
“Stephen Spielberg actually had the idea for this movie 10 years ago, but he held onto this, because he felt like he wanted to wait,” said Kurtzman. “Ten years ago it would have been science-fiction. He wanted to wait for the world to catch up to the idea.”
The technologies used to track the pair are cell phones and video surveillance cameras, and this thriller is packed with action.
“We wrecked nine Porsches in that car chase,” said Caruso. “We were very proud of that.”
The movie Eagle eye has raked in 29.1 million dollars in its debut weekend, according to figures from box-office tracker Exhibitor Relations. Caruso also said “There’s definitely a lot of good arty, good acting type movies and at first I was a little disappointed that we weren’t going to be a summer movie, but now I feel like it’s cool that we are still a summer movie and coming out in the fall when I think you’re right – everyone is going to be looking for a movie like this.” An interesting fact surrounding this movie is that the director, D.J Caruso was the director of the hit drama movie Disturbia and the leading character in that movie was Shia LaBeouf. After watching that amazing thriller there’s no telling how great this movie will be.
The reason everyone and there grandma should see this movie is because it’s suspenseful, and the plot of the story is just a great brain teaser. If you are in to the movies that have great twist endings and amazing special effects than you should definitely go and check this movie out. Plus the movie plot sounds like something that maybe could actually happen in a couple years or so , not like we want it to though. The movie is almost two hours long, so you can tell that there’s a lot of a story to be told.
Eagle Eye” is rated PG-13 for intense sequences of action and violence and for language. Even thought this movie is rated pg13 it is still a must see movie suitable for most ages. The main reason you should see this movie is because of the awesome cast and the brain teasing plot.

The Colts
Excitement, action, domination when the Colts play you know what to expect. I believe the Indianapolis Colts are the best and most interesting pro-football team in the NFL, Let me tell you why I think so. First of all they players on the Colts set great examples, this makes them perfect role models. Also the Colts franchise brings in a lot of money. Which can be a good thing in many ways. and finally the Indianapolis colts are great entertainment. They provide us, the people of the us and other counties something to bet on (sarcasm added) or just something to watch.
The players and the coaches of the Indianapolis Colts are great role models to many boys and girls across the world. Maybe their mostly boys, but maybe some little girl who looks up to Peyton manning as her role model might one day play quarterback at her high school, never doubt what hard work can achieve. Over all the players in the NFL as a whole are pretty good examples ,but a couple players have fallen on troubled times. in particular the Bears former running back Cedric Benson. He was caught driving he boat drunk then he was caught driving a car drunk this is not the kind of people the colts employ. Practically all the players do what there old and never set bad examples in the public eye of course. On occasion there is a slip up though. Nick Harper colts former corner back now plays for the titans. A couple years ago he was stabbed in the leg with a knife by his former wife. they determined that Nick supposedly beat his wife repeatedly, so you can tell that is a person that the colts don’t want or need on their team. not only the players on the Colts are good role models but the coaches to. Tony Dungy is an out spoken Christian and I think that is the best role model of all.
The Colts are one of the best teams in the NFL today. with all those games won there is bound to be some advertisement possibilities. In one day you might see a couple of Peyton Manning commercials. Where Peyton is licking Oreos with his brother or when he is wearing a fake mustache talking about his laser rocket arm. whatever the commercial the colts are making the big bucks. Not all of this money goes to the players banks a lot of it goes to helping a lot of charities and benefits that the Colts annually sponsor.
Another reason why the Colts are great is because they are wonderful entertainment. The Colts have most of there games on big TV stations like NBC ,CBS and ESPN. This is because they are one of the best . Being on these TV stations all so gives them a lot of money. Being on these TV stations gives the colts a chance to entertain lots and lots of people. The Colts also entertain the people who come to see them play in person. For the past decade the colts have had the smallest capacity limit on there stadium the RCA dome. It held about 56,00 people. Now that the Colts asked for a new stadium they got the it, the new stadium holds a bunch more people it is called the Lucas oil stadium.
The Colts provide many people with hours of football fun. They make tons of money and some of that income goes to really good causes. most important the players and the coaching staff are great role models to all the young adults who love the game.
So you can tell that when you watch the Colts play you will receive excitement action and domination. This is why I believe the Colts are the best and the most interesting.
