«It’s so bad… it’s good»

My best worst movie is «Oblivion«, because the idea of the movie is confusing and mostly weird. Oblivion is about a couple that lives in planet earth 200 years in the future. They are the only ones in earth until a spaceship lands and they find the only survivor that is the lady of his dreams. I think that the movie has many open stories hat never come to an end. The ending is really bad, because you expect a twist ending and there isn’t.

Music Assignment

Jack Hylton- Happy Feet

Jack Hylton was born in 1892 in Boston England. He was an band leader. He died in 1965 cause of a heart attack

The song is soft with a fast pace. The instruments playing are trumpets and tubas there is a group of men singing towards the end of the song. The song is jolly  and looks hard to play.  The song is normally used for tap dancing. One of my favorite versions is Kermit the Frog Dancing it .

Frank Sinatra was born on December 12th , 1915. The was a Jazz singer. He won an Oscar in 1965 in Best supporting Actor. He died on May 14, 1998.
