Anyone know what movie this is?
Ok here I go and hopefully you know where I’m getting at:

It starts out with a girl screaming and doesn’t know where she is, she notices a door with a whole bunch of locks on it and the door is rattling really bad (like someone from the other side is trying to open the door really hard but can’t), then the door opens and whatever was in there got to the girl and ripped her to pieces. Then when the movie actually starts the star of the movie is a teenager in high school that has to do a movie project of how his life is and the people he lives around for school. His family on the other hand takes people away and into their seller and puts people in cages locked up and when the time comes cuts peoples limbs off and whatnot for this creature behind this now-small-door, for it too feed. And the last scene I saw was the kid with the camera went down into the seller (for maybe the first time or something, because he was scared) and a girl locked up screamed and he dropped his coke can onto the ground and went over to investigate….

Well that isn’t really an explanation on the movie that much, but that’s all I remembered.

If this helps: I watched the movie on Comcast on demand at my grandparents around Halloween. It’s a horror movie, and seems though the movie is at least in the 2000’s or mid 2000’s, so semi new movie. Hopefully you can determine what the movie is, because I thought it was a interesting movie and I want to see it again.
And maybe somewhat from what I remembered, the movie started with a ‘C’….I think, probably not but maybe!

Beethoven’s 2nd

Beethoven's 2nd
Beethoven’s 2nd (1993)

IMDB rating: 4.20

Plot: Beethoven is back, and this time, he’s bringing the kids! It’s the further adventures of the Newton family and their lovable, lumbering pal, Beethoven. In this second “symphony” of the Beethoven saga, our hero meets Missy, the lady Saint Bernard of his dreams. Unfortunately, they are soon separated by Regina, Missy’s hateful owner who is using her as a bargaining chip in an ugly divorce. But love finds a way, and the result is four adorable, roly-poly puppies. The prospect of four valuable, purebred pups appeals to Regina’s greed, but the Newton kids come to the rescue and bring home the cuddly canines. Now if they can just convince Dad to adopt the huge, messy bundles of joy . . . Mission accomplished! But Missy is still in Regina’s evil clutches. Will Missy, Beethoven and their puppies ever be reunited? And will Regina finally get what she deserves?

Would it be correct to assume that… regarding Beethoven's Moonlight Sonata and Pathetique 2nd Mov.?
Would it be correct to say that these two pieces can be mastered by amateurs who have barely had lessons for over a year? Maybe not master but at least able to play them well?
But seriously… I am really sorry if this question offended any of you…

I am sorry mamiamka, I’m not trying to troll here. Nor am I one of those loony crew who wants to be famous. I really like classical music, and would like to make a career out of it, that is all.

Also I apologise I forgot to mention that I meant the 1st mov. of Moonlight Sonata.


No it would not be correct to say that - both pieces are well beyond 1 year of experience.

Master No, play

… maybe.

(I equate "play well" with "master")

I am a judge in various student music competitions, including NYSSMA. I hear fine players every year - and incredible, ego-inflated, delusional kids, who slobber their way through works they have no business touching yet - no technique, and most certainly, no musicianship. These are from the same loony crew that ask questions about * how can I be FAMOUS?* or *how do I contact an agent?* or *how hard is it REALLY to get into Jooly - Joolee - Jiuiuilllii - heck, Curtis???*

If you genuinely think that someone with ONE YEAR of amateur-level study can do justice to these works, then perhaps you should have someone enlighten you. Not even * play them well*. I would assume that this is asked in EXTREME naivete - unless you are another troll just trying to bait us again. Your avatar looks like it is out of the same clip-art as other trolls we have here . . . or maybe that is coincidental?? BTW - the Moonlight has more than ONE movement - turn the page. Ditto the Pathetique.

I began taking piano lessons at 6. I learned the first movement of the moonlight sonata at 10. I could not learn the third movement(didn’t want to learn the 2nd) as it was too hard until I was 14.

Did you know that both of those pieces have more than one movement each? Look at the 3rd movement of "Moonlight" and tell me if you think one year of lessons is enough.

In short, no. "Amateurs who have barely had lessons for over a year" can play them, yes, but it would be far from "play well". Forget about "mastering". At barely one year of lessons, you are playing the notes, not the music.

We’re all struggling here, in our own different ways, just to say "No", no way, not ever, not ‘master’, not ‘play well’, not ‘well’, not ‘play, not even ‘able’.

**NO**

That would *not* be correct. :-) Nemesis | Aug 24, 2009


Only if you practice 25 hours for every 8 days of the week, but seeing as how that’s impossible, then I guess it wouldn’t really be possible then. It takes quite a musician to play even the slow movements quite masterfully so I say, you can learn the notes if you’d like but really, playing just notes reminds me too much of contemporary popular music.
