Fallen

Ok so to change it up a bit.......Im going to write about a book today! I just finally finished it the other day.
     
It took me awhile to read this book. The beginning is kind of plain and boring, but after you get to the middle of the book you wont be able to put it down. There is a love triangle between the main character Luce, Daniel, and Cam. But throughout the book, you can tell which one her heart is really set on. Luce is sent to this alternative school because of the death of her boyfriend Trevor. Basically her parents are scared of her and dont know what to do with her. Luce sees things....these dark shadows follow her. When she gets to Sword & Cross, the shadows come more often and are a lot bigger. She doesnt know what the shadows are, but it scares the crap at of her. Because it seems every time "it" shows up something terrible happens. This book is a pretty great read, but its just kind of repetitive in my opinion. Its not one of those books that you can just read over and over again, but I do want to continue reading the series!

Torment will be out Sept. 28, 2010!

Letters to Juliet

So my nana took me out today. We ate at Long Horns and let me tell you...omgah it was soooo good!!!! I got the Flo's Filet yummy!!!! Anyway after that we went to Home Depot to look  at carpet for my room. My dad is letting me decorate it (YAY!! SO EXCITED). He is painting the walls right now then im getting new carpet. After all that, I get to get me a new bedroom suit. Well the only movie my nana had interest in seeing was Letters to Juliet. Ehhhh It was so-so. It had some funny parts in it so thats always good. lol. Like it was different then i thought it was going to be. I thought she found the letter and it was written to the guy, but actually no. Like there is this wall that people leave letters on and then this one comes by and gets them. Then these ladies write them back. I thought it was pretty cool. I wish we had something like that around here. I would love to work on the team. :)

Plot: When a young American travels to the city of Verona, home of the star-crossed lover Juliet Capulet of Romeo and Juliet fame, she joins a group of volunteers who respond to letters to Juliet seeking advice about love. After answering one letter dated 1951, she inspires its author to travel to Italy in search of her long-lost love and sets off a chain of events that will bring a love into both their... for more info  http://movies.yahoo.com/movie/1810089734/info

Sorry......

Ok sorry guys for not writing for a long time! I've been extremely busy! I haven't even got a chance to read a book or go see a movie over these past few months. But now that school is finally out (YAY!), I can get back into my regular groove of things. Well yesterday my friend and I went and saw two movies. The first one was Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time. It was absolutely fantastic!! You must go see it! It was very funny and a some major plot twist that I never saw coming. I thought it was going to turn out to be extremely cheesy, but I was very mistaken. It had pretty good special effects too, especially being made by Disney and all. The second movie was the Bounty Hunter. Ehhhh it was ok, but not as great as I thought it was going to be. I thought it could have been a lot better and a lot more funny. It had a very obvious ending and like it was just too predicting. I would still recommend go see it, but don't get your hopes up.

Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time-Plot: Set in the mystical lands of Persia, a rogue prince reluctantly joins forces with a mysterious princess and together, they race against dark forces to safeguard an ancient dagger capable of releasing the Sands of Time - a gift from the gods that can reverse time and allow its possessor to rule the world.

Bounty Hunter-Plot: Milo Boyd, a down-on-his-luck bounty hunter, gets his dream job when he is assigned to track down his bail-jumping ex-wife, reporter Nicole Hurly. He thinks all that's ahead is an easy payday, but when Nicole gives him the slip so she can chase a lead on a murder cover-up, Milo realizes that nothing ever goes simply with him and Nicole. The exes continually one-up each other -- until they find themselves on the run for their lives. They thought their promise to love, honor and obey was tough -- staying alive is going to be a whole lot tougher.For more info   http://movies.yahoo.com/movie/1810129411/details

From Paris With Love A

Ok, well a couple of weeks ago i went and saw a movie called From Paris With Love. The only reason I went and saw it was because my dad really wanted too. As im sitting there, waiting for the movie to start, im thinking, oh great this movie is probably gonna be so boring. But, as usual, I was wrong. It was pretty amazing! The special effects were great! They could have tone down using the "f" word so much. Overall i will have to say that this movie is a must see movie too!

Plot: In Paris, a young employee in the office of the US Ambassador hooks up with an American spy looking to stop a terrorist attack in the city.

Sherlock Holmes B

Well i saw the movie Sherlock Holmes the other day and i have to say that it was mighty good. It was a whole lot better then i was expecting! I didn't too care for the narrations of him fighting.I have never read the books, but the movie was pretty interesting. I might have to give the books a try! The special effects were ok, but not the best I have seen. They could have definitely done better. The way it ended made me think that there is going to be a sequel. I overall rate this movie a B.
