Mystery and Suspense

              Ok so before I start, I'm just lovin break and not being in school! Anyways, I'm enjoying the Mystery and Suspense unit were doing. I liked the movies we watched in class,
"Eisenhower the Illusionist" and "When a Stranger Calls."
               The Illusionist movie was about a guy named Eisenhower and he became in love with this one girl during their childhood. They soon became broken up for a very long time as they got caught together. About thirty years, Eisenhower uses his skill...and becomes a magician, mainly performing illusions. He then recognizes her at one of his shows and she later finds out that it was him. So one day they meet up by talking about the good old days and then they soon fall back in love with each other. There is only one problem, she is supposed to get married soon to the Prince but she tries not too, and attempts to escape but he cuts the side of her neck during the escape and she then dies. Eisenhower then goes into this depression as he "pretends" that he will  never see her again. But at the end when he escapes the head sheriff tries to stop him but he doesn't. He has brought the love of his life back from the dead, sent her to another place where they will never be found together, and live happily ever after.
               The movie "When a Stranger Calls" is about this babysitter that of course, babysits, these two children for these parents. During the time when she is there she gets this phone call from a stranger and all he would say is..."Did you check the children......?" After the fourth call she began to freak out and call the police. Later that movie she had the police trace the call and after she talked to the stranger she got a phone call from the police saying to remain calm, they are on there way to the house, and they traced the call coming from inside the house. She panicked and then we stopped watching the movie there. Gee.......Thanks a lot Mr.Potter!!

  1. I know right? Mr. Potter just stopped the movie before it was even over! We're still going to find a way to watch it ourselves, right? I need to know for sure how When a Stranger Calls ends!
