  Answer:-
• Question:-the strangers?
  i wanna go see the move The Strangers but im not sure if its gonna be too scary..im 12 almost 13 and i have seen scary movies be4 but only pg-13 ones like the messanger and when a stranger calls and stuff.. so is it really scary? is it good?
  also i have another question about the strangers.(dont wanna spend another 5) why does it say based on true events? what events??
  
  Answer:-Im 15 and I was scared but all in all there were not many bad parts except for stabbings and someone getting shot but a lot of it was not shown so i think ur good :)
  
  The Strangers did great at the box office, coming in at an impressionable 3rd against Sex In The City and Indiana Jones. Although it was "Inspired By True Events" so was the Hills Have Eyes, a movie also "Inspired" by The Manson Family Murders. It would be very smart for a sequel to be made and I await the day when there will be a The Strangers 2.

  MY REVIEW:
  
  I have already seen it 2 times it was sooo good. It was the director's first movie he ever wrote and directed and he did an awesome job. LOL, I cannot even count how many times I screamed, it sent chills down my back and there was not even that much blood! These days there are not that many good thrillers but this one reminded my of Funny Games and Vacancy with a 70's thriller/horror vibe and a house filled with 70's antiques and lamps. It is totally a movie worth your buck and what reels you in is the whole concept of "inspired by a true story". I give this movie 5 out of 5 stars and I guarantee good thrills :)
  
  INSPIRED by a true story:
  
  Hollywood has sneakily made a difference between the words based and inspired. Apparently, inspired is made up while based on is truly based on a true story. The Strangers was a great movie in my opinion however, it was "inspired by a true story". The Strangers was loosely based on various home invasion murders, including The Manson Murders, and based upon an Austrian couple that was murdered by three teenagers in their vacation home in The Czech Republic.
  
  The True Story Behind the New Movie "The Strangers" is a mixture of three stories.
  
  The killers, a principle male assailant and female accomplices, is based upon Charles Manson and the Manson killings.
  
  The frantic "there's blood everywhere" 911 phone call and "bounding to a chair and stabbing" was based on the killings in Cabin 28.
  
  The basic story of a couple being terrorized by a group of people was based on the famous killing in the Czech Republic, which was also made into a French Film titled Ils, translated to mean "Them."
  
  In the Czech Republic murders, an Austrian couple are terrorized in their vacation home by three teenagers and are later killed in the forest when they try to escape. BUT, a concrete source for this alleged crime has yet to be found other than countless blog postings, leading most people to believe that the story was engineered much like the Blair Witch Project, to give Directors a legal excuse to claim that it was based on a "True Story."
  
  In the Cabin 28 murders, the daughter of a woman walks into a cabin where her mother, brother, and brother's female friend were staying only to find them stabbed and hammered to death. She calls 911 frantically repeating "there's blood everywhere," which there was although no one heard anything all night.
  
  This took a few hours to finally piece together, but I noticed that no one else had figured it out and wanted to be the first to say, "I cracked the story."
  
  So in the end The Strangers inspired by aTrue Story claim is definitely true, but a combination of several stories to appeal to general audiences. That's Hollywood, but, as scary as it may be, also real life.
  
  (By the Way...Bryan Bertino...the writer and director admitted to this.)
  
  Sooo,...we can only assume that in the movie Liv Tyler probably should have died but then again you can never overthink a thriller, can you?

  *******SPOILER ALERT*******
  
  After returning from a wedding reception, a couple staying in an isolated vacation house receive a knock on the door in the mid-hours of the night. What ensues is a violent invasion by three strangers, their faces hidden behind masks. The couple find themselves in a violent struggle, in which they go beyond what either of them thought capable in order to survive.
  
  As the movie continues the young couple staying at a summer retreat are faced with a night of psychological terror and the reality of what will come is more terrifying than anything both could have imagined.
  
  The film begins with two young well-dressed boys happening upon a vandalized property and a bloody crime scene, with a voiceover of a frantic 911 caller, rambling about a gruesome, bloody scene- we actually never see the caller in the movie and no mention is made of her. We are then taken backward and introduced to the two protagonists, James Hoyt (Scott Speedman) and Kristen McKay (Liv Tyler), who appear distraught. They retire to James' remote family vacation home, which James had prepared in advance with a set dinner table and rose petals throughout the living area, bedroom and bathroom. As Kristen takes a bath, she has a flashback to earlier in the evening; at a friend's wedding reception, James had proposed to Kristen, only to be turned down. Given the romantic setup of the home, James obviously assumed Kristen would accept his marriage proposal. Kristen later explains to James that she is not ready. In the meantime, James had called his friend Mike, explaining that things had not gone as planned, and for Mike to come pick him up in the morning.
  
  Moments after they arrive, at 4:05 am, there is a loud knock on the door, which James answers with Kristen right behind him. A young, blonde-haired girl in her late teens to early 20s (Gemma Ward) stands at the doorstep . She says hi and asks, "Is Tamara home?" James, confused, answers no and that the girl has the wrong house, to which the girl replies, "Are you sure?" James replies yes, and we can only assume the girl is one of the assailants, foreshadowed by her saying, "See ya," then walking off. Although strange, both James and Kristen think nothing of it, as James indicates, "People get lost around here all the time."
  
  Shortly after, Kristen mentions she is out of cigarettes, and James volunteers to go buy her a pack, saying he wants to go drive for a while anyway. Moments after he leaves, there is another knock at the door as Kristen sits by the fireplace. Kristen answers, but doesn't open the door, and it is the same girl asking, again, if Tamara is home. Kristen sends her off, and is clearly shaken by this strange occurrence. Then begins the stalking. The fire that James had set for Kristen begins to burn out of control and sets the smoke alarm off, which Kristen removes from the ceiling and places on the floor. During this time, there is rattling around the outside of the home, Kristen grabs a knife, a masked man appears in the background hallway (Kip Weeks) who Kristen does not notice. Kristen's fears are aroused when she sees the smoke detector is sitting on a chair and no longer on the floor. She tries James on her cellphone, but it is dead, so she plugs it in to her charger by the fireplace. She returns to the bedroom to use the landline, calls James, but the call gets cut off soon after. After she comes back out to the living room, she notices her phone is gone. Between random terrifying moments, including a record player being turned on in the living area, Kristen goes back into the bedroom, and then James returns. A frantic Kristen is trying to explain what is happening, and James has difficulty believing her story.
  
  James then steps outside to retrieve his phone, only to see his car windshield has been smashed in. We learn that there are three masked assailants stalking James and Kristen, one guy and two girls. At one point, James and Kristen attempt to leave, and as they get in the car, a truck appears in the background, driven by one of the girls wearing a pin-up girl mask (Laura Margolis), and rams into James' car. The two get out of the car and go back into the house. James finds his father's shotgun and cartridges, enabling the couple to fight back. With all communication and transportation destroyed or cutoff, it is their only hope.
  
  The couple hides out in a back room, and as they're hiding, James' friend Mike shows up. He enters the home, seeing that it is vandalized- the front door has been destroyed with an ax and there is broken glass on the floor. As Mike slowly steps through the house, the man with the mask lurks behind him, wielding an ax. Mike eventually comes into view where Kristen and James are hiding, and assuming that he is one of the assailants, James immediately shoots him in the face with a blast from the shotgun, instantly killing Mike. James and Kristen are horrified- James tells Kristen to find a place to hide and he goes outside to try and call for help using a radio in the barn. While creeping low in the woods outside the home, James sees the Pin-up mask girl come out from the barn. As he aims to fire at the girl, he is attacked from behind by the man in the mask. We hear one loud gunshot and do not know if anyone has been shot or hurt. However, the stalking continues and there is no sign of James for a while, so it is assumed that he has either been killed, or assaulted by the man in the mask.
  
  Kristen then attempts an escape, and as she is running, she falls in a 4 foot ditch and injures herself, now barely able to walk. She climbs out and makes her way to the barn to attempt to call for help; when she finally hears a voice on the other end of the radio, the pin-up girl emerges and begins to smash the radio with an ax. Kristen then desperately makes her way back into the house and hides in a kitchen closet. While hiding, she sees the man in the mask wandering around the home searching around. As he wanders out of sight, the dollface mask girl appears in front of the closet door, frightening Kristen. Kristen comes out of the closet while James, appearing severely beaten, crawls back into the house, yelling for Kristen to run. Kristen makes her way back down to the bedroom, and shortly after she is confronted and slammed into a wall by the man in the mask, just about knocking her unconscious. Kristen makes futile attempts to grab on to the walls as she is being dragged down the hallway.
  
  The next scene, James and Kristen are both seated and tied to chairs, with the three assailants standing over them. The pin-up mask girl draws the shades, revealing daylight. A horrified Kristen asks, "Why are you doing this to us?" The dollface mask girl subtlely replies, "Because you were home" thereby revealing the three assailants as crazed psychos who picked the couple at random. The three assailants remove their masks and place them down, showing their faces to their victims, although the audience does not get a direct look at any of their faces. Kristen is now wearing the engagement ring that James had offered to her, and the couple profess their love for one another, essentially accepting the fact that both of their lives are about to end. James is stabbed in the stomach slowly and methodically, and after him, Kristen is stabbed in the same manner.
• Question:-The Strangers?
  In the movie "The Strangers", were the three masked strangers a family? It appeared that it was a Mom, Dad and Daughter. When I saw the movie, I got the impression that it was just a family hobby to do these things, but the most disturbing part of all for me was that the girl seemed like she was about 18 and she was a physco killer... So were they a family?
  
  Answer:-The family of 3 is indeed a family, a mother, father, and older-teenage daughter. They were all evil physchopaths and the mom and dad probably brainwashed their daughter. But heres where the "inspired by a true story" came from....
  
  Hollywood has sneakily made a difference between the words based and inspired. Apparently, inspired is made up while based on is truly based on a true story.

• Question:-How do I train my dog to not be aggressive with strangers?
  I have an 11 month old black lab mix. During the last month or so he's gotten more aggressive with strangers. He has never bitten but he barks and growls ferociously. I've tried training him by giving him treats as strangers approach but it only works at first. What can I do so that he is more polite around houseguests and with strangers?
  
  Answer:-Your dog seems to think that the entire house is his territory. You should make it clear to him that you are the master. For that, you must first train him in all other aspects like 'sit', 'stay', 'come', 'lie down', etc.
  
  The next step would be to make him used to strangers. Invite friends of yours who are dog-lovers. They will understand the situation more and will have an idea as to how to act around him.
  
  Once your dog gets accustomed to your friend's presence, ask your friend to give him a treat. This way, your dog too gets a friend and he'll be happy to welcome him home the next time!
• Question:-How do I stop a strangers email from appearing on the mail main page?
  Every time I open my email account I have some emails between two strangers. I do not care to see their email and I am sure they do not want me to see them. Today the same ones have been appearing and the are from May 2, 2009 and May 5, 2009. How do I stop this nosense.
  
  Answer:-Just mark them Spam, never open them. If you see the email address you can add it to your blocked address list. From the mail screen over to the right click Options, then Mail Options. Then click Block Addresses. Type the address one at a time into the small box and click Add Block. For now clicking Spam works until blocking takes affect.
• Question:-How can I train my dog to be friendly and polite to strangers?
  My boyfriend and I are adopting a dog who is nervous around strangers and territorial of his current home. From what we've seen, this mostly manifests itself as either hiding and running away or excessive barking.
  
  As he is coming to a new home and new owners (us) we feel this would be the best time to train him to be quiet and polite to strangers and not to bark at visitors in our home.
  
  We plan to use positive reinforcement/clicker training, as I do not like the idea of negative training and punishments.
  
  Does anyone have any ideas for positive ways to reduce the dog's anxiety towards strangers and his territorial behavior?
  
  Answer:-(If it were me, this is what I would do- My dog was the same way when we adopted him) At first I would just concentrate on playing with him and giving him lots of love until he is comfortable with you. In the meantime ignore negative actions. Then start giving him little doggie treats whenever he does something you like. The smaller they are the more you can give him! Most dogs bark for attention so I would just ignore it or tell him/her "no." Take him for lots of walks so he can get used to meeting different people and animals. If you have any other pets I noticed it really helps stop territorial behavior to make them share some toys. Or practice giving them a toy and then making sure you can take it away without agressive responces. (Make sure you give it back at the end though =)
  Good luck!!

• Question:-Where can I find Fiddler on the Roof music online?
  I have recently been chosen to be the first violin in the orchestra pit for Fiddler on the Roof. I have not received any music yet and would really like to get a head start. Where can I find the sheet music online (free), just for that first solo at the beginning of the play?
  
  Answer:-Since 'Fiddler on the Roor' is a copyrighted work, you probably won't find any part of the score free. And even if you do, there's no guarantee that what you will get will bear any resemblence to the score that you will be using for your production.
  
  Your best be is to nag your music director until he or she makes the score avaialble to you.
• Question:-What are some good monologues for fiddler on the roof audition?
  My high school is doing fiddler on the roof and I want to audition for Golde. It needs to be one minute. I also need to have a song. Recently I've been working on Look to the Rainbow from Finians rainbow. Would that be a good song?
  
  Answer:-Don't do 'Look to the Rainbow". Pick a song that will make you look good for the character you are trying out for. I say this because Sharon (who sings 'Look to the Rainbow') is a soprano role, while Golde is a mezzo. If you want a good mezzo song look for one from Les Miserables, Meet Me in St. Louis, Anything Goes, Annie Get your Gun, Thoroughly Modern Millie or Hello Dolly. All of those have female leads with mezzo parts. Also, don't pick a sweet song for Golde. She isn't sweet at all. Good Luck!
• Question:-How does the Fiddler in Fiddler on the Roof avoid falling?
  In a stage performance of Fiddler on the Roof, how does the character of The Fiddler assume his position on the stage roof (then play or mime, concentrating on his performance) without actually endangering himself?
  
  Answer:-Last time I did that show, the fiddler climbed up a stairway built into the back of the set and sat or stood on a platform just behind the "roof" of a house at the back of the stage.
• Question:-Is fiddler on the roof as good as Singing in the Rain?
  I love good, clean Broadway musicals. How good is the movie Fiddler on the Roof?
  
  Answer:-It's good. It's a little slower, and the style is far more...traditional. I prefer Singing in the Rain for its upbeat style. But both are very clean and appropriate.
• Question:-What should i audition with for fiddler on the roof?
  I am a sophmore this year and my school will be putting on Fiddler On The Roof.
  
  I was an extra/chorus member in every play last year, the principals were mostly seniors and we dont have many juniors from last year so I feel I have a larger chance than last year. Although I'm a little new to singing I'm confident in myself.
  
  
  I have a lower vocal range. Any suggestions? I have to audition with a song from a different musical.
  
  Answer:-Anything from that era of musicals. Carousel, Sound of Music, King & I, State Fair, South Pacific, Etc...
  
  Most of those classic musicals have at least one song in them that will closely resemble the song sung by the character you want to be cast for. Know what role you want and find the relating song in the other show and sing that. Also, don't fret if someone else ends up singing the same song. Just take note not to sing it in the exact same way with the same gestures and inflections as they did. Sing it in the way you practiced it.
  
  It's typical for several actors to sing the same song when auditioning for a classic musical. It just happens. What you don't want to do, is sing something from Phantom because it is way out of your age range and isn't appropriate for Fiddler or to sing something from a newer show like Hairspray because it is a completely different style.
• Question:-What vocal part does Chava have in Fiddler on the Roof?
  I am planning on trying out for chava in a production of fiddler on the roof, and i was wondering what vocoal part does she have. I am a second soprano so does that mean my voice is to high for that part?
  
  Answer:-Chava is actually considered a mezzo soprano by most, I think. (Which is pretty much a second soprano.) She sings in Matchmaker, so you can download that to see if you can sing it. She also needs to be an adequate dancer, if that matters.
  
  Break a leg!

  Answer:-they are in almost every scene, and 6 songs.
• Question:-Where can I find the Reed 2 (clarinet) orchestra part for Fiddler on The Roof?
  I would really like the orchestra part, not some solo book to Fiddler on the Roof. Where are we able to purchase just the clarinet or reed 2 orchestration.
  
  Answer:-You're going to have to contact the licensing agency that handles the show. That would be one of the following: Dramtists' Play Service, Samuel French, or Rodgers and Hammerstein. Google, and then figure out the purchase price (it might come expensively).
  
  Another possibility: if you live near where a full-orchestra production of Fiddler was done in recent memory, the producing company might have retained the parts. Call them and see if you can photocopy (which would be fair use if you're doing it for personal study).
• Question:-What is the girl lead for fiddler on the roof?
  My church might put on a production of fiddler on the roof and I was wondering if there is a girl lead? If there is, what is the character's name? And does she have a solo song?
  
  Answer:-There are two large roles for adult females and three large roles for young women in Fiddler On the Roof.
  The largest of the adult roles is Golde, Tevye's wife. She is somewhat stern and very no-nonsense. She sings most notably in "Do You Love Me." The other large adult role is Yente, the matchmaker. The only time she really sings is in a song called "Topsy Turvy." Yente is very much a "character."
  
  The three roles for young women are three sisters, Tzeitel, Hodel, and Chava. The three share the song "Matchmaker," which also features their two younger sisters, Schprintze and Bielke very briefly.
  Tzeitel is the oldest of the sisters. She is in love with Motel, a poor tailor who is her childhood sweetheart. Tzeitel does not sing very much, but it is still a large role.
  Hodel is the second oldest. She falls in love with Perchik, a revolutionary from Kiev. When he goes to Siberia and is arrested Hodel follows him. In addition to her part in "Matchmaker" she sings "Far From The Home I Love." Her character and love story are the most developed of the three featured sisters.
  Chava is the next youngest. She sings in "Matchmaker." Chava falls in love with a Gentile named Fyedka and they eventually elope, which causes Tevye, her father, to disown her outwardly, although inwardly he still loves her deeply.
• Question:-What should I sing for my Fiddler on the Roof audition?
  My high school is doing Fiddler on the Roof this year. I'm a mezzo, so my range isn't very limited. But I'd like to audition for Chava, so is there any particularly good song I should sing? It doesn't have to be from the show, anything along similar lines would be good.
  
  My audition isn't until December, so I have plenty of time to prepare. Any help is appreciated. Thanks!
  
  Answer:-Assuming they don't want you to sing from the show:
  
  Someone Else's Story - Chess
  Hold On - The Secret Garden
  Send In The Clowns - A Little Night Music
  Home - Beauty And The Beast
  No One Knows Who I Am - Jekyll and Hyde
  
  Hope this helps! Break a leg at your audition!
