Movies and Smoking

We have all seen it, but we rarely actually realize what we are watching, big movie stars smoking on the big screen. Are tobacco companies secretly brainwashing us to think that smoking is the thing to do? well it seems to be working quite well. Big tobacco companies such as marlboro and camel have somehow snuck their products into almost all of the most popular movies, making todays teens and youth think that it is cool. These movies account for 52% of our youth to light up.
smoking in movies is a huge problem yet, it still is going on and movie producers are not doing anything about it, it seems they are getting funding for doing it, but yet both movie producers and big tobacco companies swear that no funds are transfered for the screen time.
so do the movie producers just not care about todays youth, or what is going on in their heads?

Taking all other factors into account — such as whether their parents smoke —
seeing a lot of smoking in movies tripled the odds that teens would try smoking.
• More important, exposure to smoking in the movies quadrupled the chance
that nonsmokers’ kids would start.

this fact really made me think, how can people be doing this and not caring about the new generations coming into this world, you would think that people would care a little bit, but i guess that is asking to much.

Balls of Fury

The review "Movie Review: 'Balls of Fury' serves up cheerful looniness" makes me want to go and see Balls of Fury in a way but the author is sort of mocking the film as you read on. I feel the author might have some mixed feelings about the movie. It really makes me think about my experience watching the movie and what made me laugh and why that was. Was i only laughing because i heard someone Else's laugh and was laughing at them? Did i actually find the movie funny? Did i just feel like acting like a 13 year old boy laughing at everything that is immaturely funny, or did i just wanna let go and go with the flow? All these questions were running through my mind right after i had read this review and i realized that it was a combination of both. Even though the movie was seriously ridiculous at the time i found it hilarious.

The cheerfully dumb "Balls of Fury" thumbs its nose at sports movies,
underground fighting tournament flicks, and squares in the audience. It's
schlocky and tasteless but also good-natured and harmless, and the people who
come out to see it will get just what they want: 90 minutes of freewheeling,
switch-off-your-brain laughs.

For some reason this quote really caught my eye, it made me think about the movie in perspective, and it sparked my millions of questions. Although I'm not quite sure this review would make people want to jump out of their chairs and run to see this movie, i don't think it really gives or takes anything away from the movie, its a strait forward opinion of the movie, in which i share of the movie.

"Balls of Fury" revels in dumb gags, aggressively cheesy production design
and over-the-top performances. Fogler, with the manic energy of a young John
Belushi, makes his role a showcase for physical comedy, and the 78-year-old Hong
is a treasure.

I think that this movie is entertaining partly because it is super cheesy and way to unrealistic, and sometimes you just need to see that just to bring you back down to earth. Sometimes we just get to into all of the crazy special effects that are way over the top, making it seem like you are right in the action. This movie has special effects but, they are for a humorous part to make things seem really fake instead of realistic. In conclusion i loved Balls of Fury in all of its goofiness that are so stupid you have to laugh out loud.
