The Sandlot Plot
The Sandlot is a story about the kids in the sandlot play baseball and how the sport brings all of them together to use teamwork to solve the biggest pickle they have ever been in . The Sandlot is a bad movie because of the plot suffered and production of the movie was poor.

The plot was a very apparent problem; with the bad pacing and easily avoidable plot it made for a less interesting movie. For the first thirty minutes of the movie the characters are introduced and the story of how Scotty Smalls became friends with the kids at the sandlot was shown. The rest of the movie, until the last thirty minutes, consisted only of random fillers that provided little for the plot that made the movie much less interesting. The main story of The Sandlot

    Though it was a decent film, there was a few flaws. I thought the movie was a little too predictable. There wasn't much to it, and I knew exactly what was going to happen before it did; like when Dana (Eric Phillips) grabbed Roy and tried to…

    The bok eitself is acton packed and funny, but some parts make you think. These are some of the aspects that drove the plot forward. Some of the most fun parts are the action packed, body part flailing, zombie killing good parts. Althoug the book has a HUGE cliffhanger, at the end you…

    The film follows the story of Steinmark from a young boy to his eventual rise as one of the best players on the University of Texas football team. Along the way however, Pizzo tries unsuccessfully to make you care about the supporting cast of characters by jumping around scenes to quickly to flesh out interesting ones. Even his own mother, played by the talented Robin Tunney, barely has any interaction with…

    I have an odd relationship with this film, it entertained me from start to finish, and at no point did it drag or feel grueling. Some might chock that up to good pacing, but I’d chock it up to lots and lots of brainless and inconsequential explosions. Let me be honest with you for a second, I secretly enjoy a lot of films because I know they’re bad, but that doesn’t make them any less enjoyable. This film is going to fit nicely into that collection of films I liked more than my brain tells me I should have. A lot of people are going to…

    We’ve all seen a bad movie at least once in our life. When you’re watching it, it’s everything you can do to keep your eyes open. You’ve also probably seen a lot of really good movies. When you’ve seen an example of both, it is really easy to point out the odds and ends that make each movie good or bad. The movie, Smoke Signals, written by Sherman Alexie, is not a terrible movie, but it isn’t one I would recommend to all my friends if they were looking for a good movie. The acting was probably the best part of the film, closely followed by the script. The main thing that I noticed that ruined this film for me was the use of flashbacks. It was a little excessive and it made it harder for viewers to follow along.…

    The conclusion of the story left you unsatisfied and discontent because it didn't really tell you what happens to the protagonist; it just ends, while the movie ends with Walter, the protagonist, finding love. Walter also overcomes his low self-esteem towards his boss and says, "The smartest thing you ever did was hire me!" He goes further in saying that all his boss does is make money of his ideas. The confidence Walter shows at the end of the movie gets him to a higher a position at work. In addition, the movie also leaves you feeling satisfied because the bad guys, the antagonists, are caught and put in prison. Therefore the movie had a more rewarding conclusion than the short story's inconclusive ending.…

    Greasy Lake Analysis

    As the story continues on into the actual recollection, they morals of the characters become clear, it demonstrates how they just want to cause trouble in any way that they can just to fill the part as “bad”. It seems that they have almost developed how they act based on movies, they listened to rock and roll, smoked, did drugs, drank, and hung out with girls at the place where all “the cool kids were”, Greasy Lake. but it quickly becomes clear that they are just not a fit for the role.…

    Scatter Plot Summary

    • 166 Words
    • 1 Page

    I ended up reading "The art and science of the scatter plot." I liked how in the article the author explains that many people assume that you should just be able to look at a graphic and be able to interpret it without any other information provided. However, this is not the case because,like art, people will interpret the graphic in different ways. For me I have a hard time focusing on the scatter plot because it has so many points of interest and my mind gets distracted by all the outliers. I have been taught many times how to read a scatter plot and to be honest it took me a second to remember what all the lines and dots meant even though I had been taught how to read one before. So my question is even though I have been taught how to read…

    It took away from the realistic feel that the sequels had and felt less genuine. The creators of the movie didn’t even attempt at making costumes and using great make up skills like the original movies. The whole movie just felt faked and as if there wasn’t any heart and soul put into the movie. It disconnected the audience from the atmosphere of the movie and just made it awkward.…

    In Anton Chekhov 's "The Lady with the Dog" the exposition, or background information that 's important to know for the story, is almost entirely given at the very beginning. Most importantly we learn that the protagonist of the story, Dmitri Gurov, disrespects females and, "almost always spoke ill of women, and when they were talked about in his presence, used to call them ‘the lower race, '" (Booth, Hunter, and Mays 218). This is important to know because it helps the reader understand how profound it is for Gurov when he realizes that he respects Anna. It 's also necessary to know that this is not the first time that Gurov is not faithful to his wife: "He had begun being unfaithful to her long ago-had been unfaithful to her often," (Booth, Hunter, and Mays 218), and if we weren 't given that information and thought that Anna was the first time that he was unfaithful than it would change the story as a whole. Instead we know that he has been with so many women, but none of them has affected him as Anna does. Not only do we learn that he is unfaithful to his wife but we learn exactly how he feels about her; he disrespects her as he does all women and he, "was afraid of her, and did not like to be at home" (Booth, Hunter, and Mays 218). This is necessary information, not only because it pushes him towards Anna, but if he is afraid of his wife than he is definitely not going to ask for a divorce. Without a divorce he can only continue seeing Anna in secret. We not only learn that he is married but that Anna is married as well, which adds further complications to their predicament. Another thing that is revealed, not quite as large but important just the same, is that Gurov has children; his daughter is especially important because he relates Anna to his daughter later in the story. Also Gurov 's age group is given. He is under forty, and this pertains to the story because he is much older than Anna, and he talks about his grey hair at the end of the story.…

    Even though the characters were exciting with their conflicts, I disliked how the story ended. I of course don’t want to give it away, but it ended very soon. The story was going on and on and it seems as soon as the climax hits, it plummeted to an abrupt end. Everything stopped, tragedy happened, and it was over.…

    Many scenes in the movie are very uncomfortable to watch. The settings and characters give the feeling that if you were there, you would not want to be. Throughout the movie all the characters seem to be perspiring uncontrollably in locations you would not want to be. Who wants to be watching the "happy hands" presentation, have a pocketful of cold tatertots, or be in the middle of Idaho running to school wearing a brown, thrift mart suit in hot weather? Dare I mention lunchtime after tending to the chickens?…
