My Three Favourite Video Games
My three favorite video games are 1. Minecraft. 2. Valorant 3. Terraria
Minecraft is a block game that was released in 2010 by Notch, was later bought from him by Microsoft, and has been owned by them since then. I've played Minecraft since 2012 and still love it. The games are about you spawning in a world and getting to explore a huge world that is almost infinite and has so many possibilities of things you can do, and if you play creatively, you can even program in a way. Some people have played Minecraft in Minecraft before, and even if it’s a bit laggy, it’s still marvelous that you can actually play Minecraft in Minecraft using commands. But in survival, you have advancements in the form of quests, and if you complete them all, then you complete the game, according to the Minecraft wiki. But even if you do, you can still do so many things. The possibilities are endless in a way, and that’s why I love this game so much.
Valorant is a game I've talked a little bit about before. It's a game where there are attackers and defenders, and the attackers are meant to plant a bomb and make it explode, and the defenders are meant to prevent them from doing so.
Terraria is maybe an unknown game to people who don’t really play games, but it’s a 2D game in which you spawn by killing bosses, starting with King Slime and ending with Moon Lord. Though it’s not just about killing bosses, it’s also about building and getting a bunch of townspeople to move into the houses you build, and so on.
There’s a lot more to say about all these games, but I just wanted to do a small introduction to them.

Freestyle Assignment 2
The Top 5 Movies Ever Made, According to IMDb
The top five movies ever are The Shawshank Redemption, The Godfather, and The Dark Knight The Godfather Part 2, and 12 Angry Men.
I myself have only watched The Dark Knight, so I took a look at the reviews that people gave in about the movies, and I’m going to give you one review from each movie. (Spoilers BTW)

The Shawshank Redemption
This is how movies should be made
This movie is not your ordinary Hollywood flick. It has a great and deep message. This movie has a foundation that just keeps being built on, and that foundation is hope.
Other than the message of this movie, the acting was phenomenal. Tim Robbins gave one of the greatest performances ever. He was inspiring, intelligent, and, most of all, positive. His performance just made me smile. Robbins plays Andy Dufresne, who was wrongfully convicted of murdering his wife and her lover. He gets to life sentences but yet never gives up hope. In he becomes friends with Ellis Boyd "Red" Redding played by Morgan Freeman. Freeman who gives the finest performance of his career has unlike Robbins lost hope. He is in deep regret of the crime that he committed. His way of deflecting the pain away is by trying to not feel anything at all. With his friendship with Andy he learns that without our hopes and dreams we have nothing. Andy also becomes friends with the rest of Red's group. James Whitmore also gave a great performance as Brooks Halten who gets out of prison parole but in the words of Red he has been "institutionalized".
The directing by Frank Darabont was just magnificent. He kept this movie at a great steady pace along with the writing and great cinematography. He portrayed prison life in such a horrifying way, but not in terms of the physical pain but the stress and pain that wares mentally on the inmates, some of which deserve a second chance.
Whatever you do, don't listen to the people who say this movie is overrated because this is one of the most inspiring and greatest movies ever. It has everything you could possibly want.

The Godfather
The Pinnacle of Flawless Films.
'The Godfather' is the pinnacle of flawless films! The first time I viewed 'The Godfather' I was in my early teens and it was the most astounding film I had ever seen, and has since then stood as my all-time favourite film. It is due to this that I have been looking forward to writing a review of this unforgettable classic. So let's start from the beginning. The film opens to four words, 'I believe in America', it's crazy to think that this simple line has become a resonant quote solely due to the impact it made on the entrance to the film's "threshold". This is just one of the many renowned quotes that litter the film, and believe me, there are a lot. After the first take we are then absorbed into the life of Vito Corleone, brilliantly portrayed by the Oscar- winning performance of Marlon Brando. Vito is a feared man, he is a criminal, he is a mafioso, but above all he is a respected family man, his three sons are depicted by three excellent actors, James Caan, John Cazale and Al Pacino as well as his adopted child Tom Hagen, played by Robert Duvall. The film follows Vito as he attempts to transfer his crime empire to his reluctant son, Michael. With some of the most graphic and gruesome death scenes to have ever been seen in the 1970's film industry (including a certain horse's head), 'The Godfather' epitomises how violence can be used effectively within a film. The Corleone's are some of the greatest antiheroes to have ever been seen on screen, whilst they are villains, the audience will refuse to accept that fact, Coppola does something simple and audacious, he takes the guilt out of organised crime. A film rife with beautiful cinematography, memorable musical scores and well-paced action and drama. Overall, The Godfather is one of Hollywood's greatest critical and commercial successes that gets everything right; a gangster flick that is overflowing with life, rich with emotion and subtle acting, and further blessed with amazing direction from Francis Ford Coppola. Arguably the most unforgettable masterpiece to have ever been made.
