Breaking Dawn: Part 2

I'm pretty sure that kid's face is
computer programmed.
Perhaps the most frustrating movie to watch with the weirdest ending and awkward kissing scenes, Twilight has done it again! Your strange romantic fantasy were werewolves and vampires aren't trying to kill the "beautiful" girl but, in fact, win her love and swooning over her, is back and finally ends the series with a very touching ending.

After Renesmee's (weird name) incredible birth, Bella is turned to a new born vampire. When she wakes after her three day rebirth, Edward and her visit the baby and find out the inevitable (unless you read the book)! Jacob couldn't seem to control his wolf-like instincts and did only what was destined to happen: imprint.

After Bella gets over that itty bitty fact, she moves on and starts to get used to the idea and actually seems to enjoy having them together. But one day when Renesmee is catching snowflakes with Bella and Jacob, a woman finds them. She was from a vampire clan more to the north but she ran away before Bella could even say hello.

When the three return to the family, the Collins appear frightened because they finally understood why the vampire ran away: She thought Renesmee was an immortal child even though she is far from it.

Watch the movie for more!!

Just some side notes:

Robert Pattinson as Cedric Diggory. MUCH BETER!
Kristen Stewart's teeth kept bothering me during the whole movie. I was really trying to figure out how all her other teeth are normal but those two front buck teeth are just so... abnormalishly annoying?

Robert Pattinson has lost his hottiness, if he even had it. He was so much better looking in Harry Potter as Cedric. He just needs to stop whispering and stop making his skin so pale! I can't take it! And when he kisses people, it looks like he's trying to swallow people and it's not because he's craving blood or anything. It's SO gross.

Taylor Lautner still looks great and everything and his confidence level in movies is literally just sky-high almost...cocky and arrogent but I said nothing.

One more thing, the ending nearly killed me: The whole scene were all the vampires gathered together. I was almost crying when they got to some of the most violent parts out of the whole series and not for the reasons you think. It's true I couldn't watch those heads flying and maybe soon you'll see what I'm talking about or you know what I'm talking about but when Carlisle nearly....UGH I was so angry!

Don't think I'm being bias because I loved the writing and movies but I really HATE the message it sends to the female population and even the male population about love and boyfriends and life really. Love isn't just about hormonial girls who jump off cliffs and don't communitcate with their family. It's about friendship (which Bella threw away to be with Edward), Dignity (which Bella threw away to be with Edward), a sense of loyalty (she gave WAY to much of that to Edward), self-control (Edward BITE HER FACE) and maturity (HAHA maturity. When did they ever have a really developed marriage or friendship throughout this movie series?)

My rating: 6 out 10 For really weird transitions, and STILL those kissing scenes were the strangest takes I have ever watched in my whole life (and Edward was -I swear- biting Bella's shoulders ever single time).

Frankenweenie & The Wanted

Hey everybody! Hay here! This is my first mobile post! This is actually very exciting! I can post from anywhere! Except now I don't have an excuse not to post...
     Anyway, this weekend Jay and I saw this movie, Frankenweenie. I thought it was funny. I am going to leave the reviewing for Jay though, who really seems to enjoy movies. I just want to say that movie made me love my dog more.(Even though I thought I loved him with every ounce before. Love is confusing...) It really helped me realize we really aren't going to be here forever. I don't like to think about death too much because then it feels like my mind got stuck in a loop and I am forever lost in a time paradox...
        I won't go into details... I just want to put out there The Wanted did win the vote! (*Victory Dance!*) Even though said friend and I made a compromise I was still pretty satisfied with the voting. You guys actually voted! It makes me feel like my obsessions are worthwhile. :'). Well Bye! After all this is my first mobile post! (Plus it is 12:17 p.m.) Expect the unexpected and don't approach strange people who say they will give you candy! Toodles!!!!

Plain Lucky

Dear people's faces I shall call my diary,

I know I haven't been writing in a long time. But today just seems like the perfect day to get started up again.

Yesterday, I woke up. At six in the morning. I couldn't figure out how to turn off the clock because my brain was so foggy so I took out the plug and have yet to fix my alarm clock.

About two hours later, I woke up again. I probably would have stayed in bed if my stomach didn't stop punching it's self. So I hurried to the bathroom. In there, I brushed my pearly whites and made my face even more impossibly beautiful and went to get a glass of water.

I made a huge breakfast for myself and my little sissies. Toast Strudels and Waffles. By the time we we done, I was ready to burst and spread all the sugary insides all over the kitchen. My stomach felt like crap after eating that food so I decided to just lay around, even though I probably shouldn't have.

You see, my soccer team made a deal with our coach that if we got to super fit on this running game, he would take us out for sushi. Now, I told myself I wouldn't lay around all day, playing video games and feeling bad because I looked like a video game obsessed kid. But that's really what happened.

I didn't have a soccer game that day so my mom decided she wanted to go see a movie. She and I decided on Paranorman (because Tim Burton movies are the bomb diggity!) Anyway, we left at five in the afternoon.

We first went to Target because the movie didn't start until seven. So we wandered the store, Mom, Baby, Tiny and I. I went to the skateboard section and guitar section, hoping to find good prices so I could buy them for my birthday.

Finally, we went to the theater. In there, I saw a sign that said people we looking for extras. Mom said I could possibly sign up later but I wasn't really hung up on it even though that was a really big deal for me. I just didn't want to get too excited if mom changed her mind.

We went to take our seats and the theater was nearly empty. But by the time the movie started, there was a little bit more people.


I have to say, that movie was awesome. It was funny and scary and creative and Tim Burton is forever my favorite director. I would absolutely love to create some of the things he creates...one day.

Anyway, we left the theater. Tiny had to use the bathroom so mom gave me Baby and told me I could sign up on the Extras info sheet. I filled in everything I could until, of course, mom came out and I gave her the rest to fill in.

We left the theater afterwards, and as we we're walking to the car, I saw what looked like a five dollar bill. Instead, it was a twenty!!


Pretty good day! But I still have to exercise if I want free sushi....

Pinocchio

I'm pumped! And totally ready for this movie that's coming out in 2014! Too soon to get excited, I know. But this movie is going to be epic. And I'm not kidding. This movie is going to be a sort of epic fantasy adventure based off of  the story Pinocchio by Carlo Collodi.


Pinocchio's story is about a wood carver who creates a puppet that is brought to life by a fairy. But Pinocchio, the puppet, is not a human boy like he would like to be. He must earn the right to be real by proving he is brave, unselfish, and truthful. You can read the shortened version at Childrenstory.info

Now, the director of Pacific Rim, Guillermo de Toro, has already started the pre-production, the process of getting all the elements of a film or movie together before shooting or producing, of Pinocchio. His stop-motion version is going to be much darker and a little intense. He plans to start shooting by the summer of 2013.

But for now, he is doing a bit of post-production on Pacific Rim, an action packed, science fiction adventure about giant robots controlled by humans who are trying to fight off an alien attack on Earth. How interesting! That will be released next year, and the rating is most likely PG-13. But still unknown.

Its seems Guillermo is defiantly confident that Pacific Rim is "Going to be the biggest monster movie" and "The cast is great." Who wouldn't be confident in their own work? And who doesn't just love alien attack movies? So cool!

Go to his website DelToreFilms.com to get much more information. Also watch this video to get a little more info about the concept and the art of the movie, Pinocchio.

The Amazing Spider-Man

I've wanted to see this movie for so long. And I didn't know it was going to be this awesome!

To start off, who knew Andrew Garfield, Peter Parker/ Spider-man, was so funny. I mean, he looks funny. And H says his hair is funny too, but I just didn't think that the movie was going to be so funny. And he defiantly brought the movie to life. He is the perfect modern spider-man.

And he just looks like a nerd! He fits the part perfectly.


Now Emma Stone played Gwen Stacy. Maybe I don't remember it right but I thought Mary Jane (in the last series) didn't know the Peter was spider-man and didn't fall in love with him for a while. They were just friends. Correct me if I'm wrong. I haven't watched the movie in a long time. But in this series Gwen falls for Peter so fast. It doesn't even take that long. Maybe fifteen minutes or so.
But who cares about the details! Emma Stone was still incredibly wonderful. Her dialogue between Peter was hilarious. And her father and her shared some awkward moments themselves.... Either way, her character was fun and happy.

Rhys Ifans was an unlikely villain. In the story, he plays Dr. Curt, an amputee. He's been searching for a cure for humans to grow back limbs. And he actually finds a cure but it goes horribly wrong. Now that I think about it, I guess it's not unlikely for a scientist to go crazy. Because he defiantly did.
My Rating: 9 out of 10

I'm a little mad that someone just decided to just start the series all over again but it was still really good and I can't wait for the next one in 2014.

But anyway, I recommended this to people who like a little bit of romance (Just a bit. I wasn't expecting THAT much!), love action, nerds, weird surprises, mad scientist, spider people with really cool reflexes, and funny teenagers.

Snow White and the Huntsman

Friday I went to see Snow White and the Huntsman (PG-13) with H. Directed by Rupert Sanders. 


The movie, overall, was action packed, full of death, and plenty of killing. This was my sort of movie! Sure it had some romance but not the kind of romance you would think a Snow White movie would have.

Before you go judging the actors in the movie, I have to say that the director picked just the right people for the job. Kristen Stewart, from the Twilight movie series, was actually a beautiful Snow White and sure did look good in some armor and a sword. She wasn't the person I expected to be Snow White, considering Snow White in animations had chubby cheeks and even teeth (Is it just me, or is her two front teeth seem a bit large?). But she did her job well.

I loved watching Chris Hemsworth play the huntsman because he just fit the part. Despite his earlier role as Thor, he looks better with a dagger than a hammer. At some parts, he nearly made me cry. He would talk on and on in that strong voice and his character was probably just drunk but it still was meaningful. I hope to see him in more fantasy movies like this.

Some people have never heard this name but Sam Claflin was a wonderful William, the man Snow White is betrothed to. He previously played Philip, the man who falls in love with the mermaid, in Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides. I never imagined the Prince as a sort of Robin Hood character with a bow and fire arrows. And Claflin is the Robin Hood type. I loved all his action scenes because they were so sweet and simple, just like his character.

The Queen, Charlize Theron, was seen in the movie Hancock as Mary. She was just beautiful and didn't look too pale for all the black that surrounded her in her black and deadly castle full of knights and half-dead people (and I'm not talking about zombies). Theron was a killer queen and sure did look good when she wanted to. I just loved the way she made me hate her than suddenly feel sorry for her even though she is the evil queen in this story. I especially loved it when she was talking to her mirror and now I actually wish I had one just like hers. 

The whole movie was just a work of art, like it should be. But it also better than I expected it to be. I loved the animations and little creatures. I fell in love with the dialogue between characters like the queen and her brother. It was an adventure just watching it.

It kept me on the edge of my seat and actually inspired me to be a little bit more willing to fight for what I believe in. Like the death of an evil queen that uses her beauty against people.

Rating: 9 1/2 out of 10

Recommended to people who like just an ounce of romance and a pack load of adventure/ action and fantasy.

Paragraphs of Nothing

Dear people's faces I shall call my diary,


There has been a minor set back for the shirts and story I've been writing....For whatever reason, I cannot use the laptop, which has the designs on it so we will all have to suffer together. But it will only be for a little bit.

Today was no different than yesterday (hence, no post). And yesterday was no different than Tuesday. I guess the only thing different was I'm doing a skit for this program for the bible study group tomorrow. My name in it is Charlie the Catfish.

 Oh, and I also get to sing a few songs too with my friend, Halo. Its actually a pretty good song, considering I had to sing it over and over again before my group "finally got it right." But I'm not complaining! Because it was FUN!


Lately, I've been reading short stories so I can post them on the tab for stories. I saw so many good stories and other...not so good stories. And found this one story that just copied the plot of this movie I watched. I nearly fated! I just hate when people thing that others won't notice them trying to get away with an obvious crime. I mean, come on! Brown Sugar is a pretty common adult movie.

Some other things I saw was just really short or really long short stories. And I know you guys aren't going to want to read something that looks long. Duh!

But you know what's weird that I noticed while I was searching for stories? I wouldn't read stories with huge paragraphs. And that's the stories I knew no one would read at all. It makes sense. I mean when is the last time you have read a story on the computer with a bunch of long paragraphs for fun? Exactly. If you try, you'll be itching to do something that has a little less words. Especially online.

Hope to hear from you sometime

The Beach

Dear people's faces I shall call my diary,


I feel like I'm seriously being avoided. For some reason H will not email me!! And other people will not text me. And I'm just sitting there on my bed thinking, is it because I'm popular? Just kidding. I think it's because I haven't been able to talk to them myself because my stupid kindle wasn't connecting to the internet. It was frustrating! Sometimes, I hate my kindle. And its kind of hard to actually hate a Kindle Fire.

So, today, I went to the beach. But let's start with last night. Last night, me and Tiny watched "The Haunted Mansion" with Eddie Murphy. I love that movie so much. But I realized that the movie was PG-13. I had always thought it was rated G because it just seemed family friendly (except for the occasion cursing and smooching). I always didn't know that it was a comedy. You see, I forget when it came out but I know I was small and very scared of zombies and ghosts attacking me in the middle of the night. So, I just thought it was kid scary when I first started watching it last night. Until I looked at the information.

Then I woke up the next day in my bed. My sister was sitting in my spinning chair, just sitting there...spinning. And watching me sleep. Which creeped me out so I told her to get her behind out of my room. That's when my mom asked us if we wanted to go to the beach. And everyone knows the answer to that question.

Before we got in the car,Tiny asked if she could bring her DS, but my dad said no because we were going to the beach. But I want to ask every other kid out there with anything from a book to a little tv to an ipad. Don't you think it's smart to bring something to entertain yourself in the car especially if the ride is very long? It just makes sense to me. But I didn't argue. Just brought a book and watch.

We were at the beach for a good 2 hours. I was boogie boarding and building little holes for Baby to stick her feet in. Then we left right before the big crowd came. We washed the sand off and left. Then came home and sat around.

When we got home, Tiny and Baby and me were hungry. So that's when the two of them had a little fight.
