Whom should I contact in order to get a press pass to an early viewing of a film for my high school newspaper?
Help! I'm writing a movie review of the Twilight Movie (coming out November 21) for my school's publication and I'm trying to figure out whom I should contact in order to see the movie before the release date. I know movie critics do it, because the reviews come out several days before the movie is released. Should I talk to the studio? The distribution company? The production company? Thanks for the help.

Here's where you start: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1099212/ Production Companies * Imprint Entertainment * Maverick Films * Summit Entertainment * Temple Hill Entertainment * Twilight Productions Start Date: February 2008 Release Date: 21 November 2008 Production Co: Imprint Entertainment 100 Universal City Plaza Bungalow #7152 Universal City, CA 91608 USA Phn: 818-733-5410 info@Imprint-Ent.com Distributor: Summit Entertainment Santa Monica, CA: 1630 Stewart St. Ste. 120 Santa Monica, CA 90404 USA Phn: 310-309-8400 Fax: 310-828-4132 http://www.summit-ent.com/ You'll likely want to send a very nicely written email to Imprint Entertainment/Universal with your request. What likely will happen is that there may be a screening for "entertainment journalists" about a week prior to the premiere. A few days after that, on a weekend, the studio will host a "press junket" at a hotel where the "entertainment journalists" are invited to interview the key cast as well as the Director and Producers. You are not trying to contact any of the filmmakers to get access to the screening. Instead, you need to speak with someone in Universal marketing. Email and/or call (very very nicely!) until you reach the person who can tell you yes or no. Good luck! Brian Dzyak Cameraman/Author IATSE Local 600, SOC http://www.whatireallywanttodo.com

How do I save a book review online for a presentation at school
I am writing a book review online and my U.S.B. drive has been stolen. I tried using my girlfriends but hers has errors on it. How can I save information online so I can pop it up on the screen at school and talk about it, or copy it and paste it. I am desperate! Also is there a free program better than notepad? If so I would appreciate it if you could inform me!

The International School of Choueifat, Sharjah is a branch of the International School of Choueifat located in Sharjah, United Arab Emirates that follows the 'SABIS' system. The school opened in 1975 and is located just beside the cricket stadium in Sharjah. It was the first Choueifat School in the whole middle-eastern region. It has 3,000 students, two indoor swimming pools, a football field, several full-sized basketball and football courts, two cricket nets, two squash courts, 2 multipurpose, air-conditioned, indoor gymnasiums, one outdoor canteen and one indoor canteen. The management of SABIS would have parents believe that many of their students go on to attend the top-class universities around the world. They even boast that they have so-called certificates placed in the foyers of their schools. However, in point of fact, few ex-choueifat students attend the Ivy League universities. The students who do attend university complain bitterly that the SABIS system did not prepare them for university life. Many former teachers of the system complain bitterly about the old-fashioned, non-creative and anachronistic approach endoctrinated into students by SABIS. It is clear that the primary goal of SABIS is to make enough money as they can from education with total disregard to the educational development of students. Recent legal proceeding in the United States pointed out the mismanagement of State funds by this organization. "However, in recent years its reputation has been tarnished by accusations of fraud and mismanagement. Many teachers leave the SABIS system complaining of an over-vigorous and draconian management style. Many students who go on to University complain that the SABIS system did not adequately prepare them for university life. Nowadays, the owners of the school spend most of what the school earns on buying themselves big cars, big homes and by improving their lifestyles.The core philosophy of SABIS/Choueifat is to make as much profit from education as they are able. SABIS does not invest in technology in their schools and teachers often complain about the lack of resources. For example, some schools do not have "white boards" and use traditional "chalk boards". Teachers are encouraged to economise when using chalk or board pens. Students also complain about the harsh system the school follows this is because they have to spend all their time studying for daily exams.Air conditioners don't work in the school.

Is Private school better than a public school

I am currently putting my kids in a private school(for preschool). I am planning on moving them to Public schools for KG. I have been getting some mixed reviews about it. some say kids get the most academically in private schools. Any inputs/comments?

I assume you're American which makes it harder because I don't know that much about American schooling, so I guess I'll just talk generally and hope it's relevent. In England, private school kids are hated by non-private school kids, mainly, because they think they're better than the rest of us, and private school kids hate non private school kids because they think they're better than us. At private school you get no social education. You get no preparation for the real world, where you meet people from all backgrounds everyday. You can nearly always tell a private school kid from a non private school kid - they walk different, talk different, look different, and have this air about them like the world has always bent over backwards to do their bidding and yet they aren't even aware or thankful. They are incredibly arrogant. At private school people are not accepted, they are bullied for being different in any way. If you're not in with the right people, wearing the right clothes, listening to the right music, having the right parties, going to right places, having the right parents, smoking the right crap and drinking too much you're labelled as Wrong. Private school kids I know are sexually active, drinking, smoking and doing drugs before us normal people even consider it, because they are told they can do no wrong. I know many people from both sorts of school, and I can tell you that at least where I live this is the absolute truth, and not too biased because my best friend is at a private school. State schools in England are now getting better academic results that private schools by record amounts. English universities are now discriminating against private school kids. No one likes a snob. No one likes a toff. Private school kids are snobs, even if they weren't before they went there. Please, please, please do the best thing for your kids' future. Send them to public school. To validate my points: I am 16, I have an IQ of 140, I am predicted 8 A*s and 2 As for GCSE and plan to read music at Oxford university. I have friends I'd trust with my life, a boyfriend who loves and respects me, and I'm the happiest I've ever been. I'm not a fan of the class system, but my parents would be described as upper middle class, and we have a large but not extravagent income. Basically I'm a good person, I'm doing well, teachers use me as a role model. What has state school not done for me?

I go to a private school, and personally I don't think theres much point putting your children in at preschool stage - as there are many really good public schools which teach them the skills they need. However, I do think that the atmosphere in private schools (well in mine anyway) is great when it comes to secondary school, and that the teachers do everything they can to help us. But as others have said, it really does depend on the school, as I have many friends who go to public school, who are very clever.

I go to a private high school. It certainly is an advantage to go to a private high school because I get more attention from the teachers and we are very competitive when it comes to grades. The downside to it is that private school kids tend to be very sheltered.

How do I write a book review for school
How do I write a book review for school?
I need to read 1776 for my US History Class as a Pre-Class Assignment (Summer Work) and I need to write a 5 page book review (double spaced size 12) I don't know how to write a book review. What should I include/leave out?
Other - Education - 1 Answers - 2008-07-31 23:34:21
Best Answer
Begin with a small introduction to the book itself. Title, author, etc. In the same paragraph, include a 1 - 2 sentence summary of the book. Since you were required to read this book, write one sentence saying why or why not you enjoyed it, if allowed. For the body paragraphs, break the book into sections. For example, section one could be chapters 1 - 4. Summarize these chapters in your first paragraph. Continue in this fashion... For your conclusion, briefly rewrite your intro. Summarize your summaries. Use big words and Spell Check constantly. If you're really stressing as to getting five pages, make the margins slightly smaller. Check out sparknotes.com. I visit the site whenever I'm confused on a book, it's very helpful. Don't plagiarize, though. Hope this helped, and good luck in your studies!

I live in Michigan and cannot relocate. the only school I think here is the Art Institutes in Novi (detroit) I have read mixed reviews and this location opened last year. I don't really have a choice as far as schools since this is the only one. I guess I just would like opinions. Has anyone attended any of the locations? What did /didn't you like about them?

Answer 3
you should ask because your money is going to waste thats bullshit
2009-11-17 02:04:29
Answer 4
It could be that the courses you enrolled in are very basic. If you are scoring 100's on the tests, and ace-ing everything, request transfer to a higher class. College was nothing like High School for me. Every subject was challenging compared to High School, except Math, which was merely equal to High School (but our HS was renowned for Math).
2009-11-17 16:28:49
Answer 5
You should have taken placement tests when you entered your school, and that test would tell the counselor what classes you are capable of learning. If you did not take a placement test, and you are studying below 100 series classes, then you need to ask if you can take the placement test to go to a higher class. You may have also misunderstood the counselor or whoever helped you choose the classes, but whatever, don't continue spending hundreds of dollars on something you don't need. Talk to someone about it, and get the classes you need. It may also be possible that they are just starting out slow so that if some of the classmates are there after not attending school for several years can remember and catch up, then the class may pick up speed later in the year, but this being already November, I doubt it.
