What If It IS Something In The Trees!

Let me start this out with a little freak-out about the fact that there are only nine days left of the term. HOLY CRAP THERE ARE ONLY NINE DAYS LEFT FOR THIS TERM!!! Yeah, I'm on page 200 of Monte Cristo still. The unabridged version. Only 1300 more...

Okay I'm done now. Really I am... I just can't believe there are only nine days left.

Just kidding. I'm really done now. Just for kicks, I decided I am going to do a little movie review. This past weekend my mom went to Portland to visit my aunt, and so I was left home with my dad and brother. Oh joy. It was okay actually, but we did end up watching a lot of movies, and in my brothers case, playing a lot of Runescape. The three movies we actually rented were The Happening, Iron man, and The Mist. I thought they were all pretty bad, so I'm going to write a review for you guys, but you should still see the movies just because I want you to waste hours of your life watching stupid, pointless movies, and being mad at yourself for wasting your own time. Hey, watch this if you like wasting time.

Movie Numero Uno: Iron man.
We watched this one Friday night. For all the hype about this movie, I was very disappointed. There were all kinds of moments while I was watching and all I could think was, "How stupid can you be?" Like when he's taken hostage, they lock him in a room full of explosives, and explosive device pieces (which he knows how to utilize) and they expect him not to escape. Also, there were many scenes that were very unrealistic. When they invent holograms, I'm going to be the first person to own one, but so far, they're just in the movies. It's pretty stupid to throw holograms into a movie if you're trying to make it look like it could happen today. The acting was also nothing special (maybe Heath Ledger has spoiled me), and the main character's goatee was driving me insane the entire time.

Moving on: The Happening.
This was the second movie we watched, this time on a Saturday. If you have this, or are planning on watching it, WATCH THE DELETED SCENES!!! There is this hilarious one... oh my goodness. I'll have to see if I can find a video for it. Nope, I just checked and it's nowhere to be found. That's too bad. The best part about that scene was that the violinist was playing the same song that I am playing right now. Anyway, the acting in this movie was also horrible, and the gore was ridiculous. It had kind of a stupid storyline, but I thought the ending was pretty good. We only got it because M. Night Shyamalan is one of my favorite Directors (Hello Sixth Sense and Lady in the Water). Anyway, I would only suggest watching it if you find horror movies humorous.

Lastly: The Mist
The acting was bad, the CGI was also bad, but the story is really good in the end. The end is really sad and powerful, but I had some questions when we got to it. This is rated R (I think The Happening is too) and it's mostly because of the language. There is one lady that you absolutely despise by the end, and I am so grateful I have never met anyone like her in real life. Oh, and this is based on the Steven King book, so you would probably like it Mr. T.

Okay, those aren't the best movie reviews, but I happen to like talking about them, so I gave it a shot.

I had some other things I was going to say, but the movie review got me to the level I needed to be, so I say adieu (and a better do than the ones you have on your head!)

"No, actually. It's Father... And this is the famous composer Igor Stravinsky... Along with the Manchester Children's Orchestra... and a few members of the Ube trbe. We're here to stop you by performing Stravinsky's Rite Of Spring, at a very specific tempo. And quickly... I have to get the children back for supper..."

HAHA XOXO
