Mean Girls

Mean Girls is a movie not so much for children but for teenagers in high school. Mean Girls is a movie about a homeschooled girl who has never been to a normal school. Every school pretty much has cliques. This school is quite divided. Cady goes to this big public school and meets two people who treat her as a friend. The Plastics who are the hot, snobby, rich girls invite Cady to their lunch table. Cady and her two friends end up sabotaging the main girl of the clique, Regina. Every one is eventually turning their backs on others. They talk about each other and so much more. Bullying is going all around this school, hurting so many people. Their ends up being a book written by the Plastics which in revenge, Regina turns in to the principal of the school. Regina makes copies of each and every page which she throws all around the school. Every girl is fighting with one another. In the end, people confess to something they didn't do, people are hurt mentally and physically, and soon enough the girls relax their problems. They sort things out at the Spring Fling when Cady becomes the Spring Fling Queen and makes a speech to all the girls. In the end, not many people stayed in the same cliques. Especially the Plastics who separated into different cliques. I recommend seeing this movie while in high school because it shows how bullying and gossip spreads throughout a school. Also how it can hurt so many people in different ways.

Taken

Taken is more of a horror movie. It starts off as a daughter asking to go to Paris with her friend for her eighteenth birthday. The father is a little on edge about this decision, but he ends up saying yes. The moment the girls get to Paris and try to find a taxi, a man in his twenties asks if they need help finding out where to go. Bad mistake. They get to their destination which now the man knows where they're staying. Not to long after they get in their room, the eighteen year old daughter goes to the restroom, while her nineteen year old friend is dancing to very loud music. The bathroom window ables you to see across the house. The daughter looks at her friend and in seconds they're are men grabbing her and taking her with them. The daughter is on the phone with her father and he tells her exactly what to do. The men end up finding the girl and kidnap her as well. The father travels there and finds clues as to how to find his daughter and her friend. The friend was drugged and raped, which lead to death. The father finds his daughter and gets her before anything bad happens to her. The point of this movie is to show you, you should never talk or interact with strangers, especially in a foreign country. I like the storyline of this movie and how it shows what could happen in a situation that involves strangers.
