Random Movie Reviews by a Random Blogger Number Two
Last night I saw Jumper. I probably actually wouldn't want to see it, if not for the fact that the Ann Arbor News had a bunch of articles on it earlier, because part of it was filmed in my favorite town.
So, for those of you unfamiliar with the plot, there's this guy who can teleport. He can like look at a picture and be there in seconds. Turns out there are more of those people, and they are all being hunted by these other "normal" people called Paladins. So the main character, David, who I realized half-way through the movie was Anakin from Episode 3 (Hayden Christensen- ugh), has to avoid them and save his girlfriend Milly or whatever. Everyone thought he was dead from falling into the frozen Huron River, but nah he teleports to the library.
"One second I was a goner, the other I found myself in the Ann Arbor Library"- David (not exact quote, but deal with it)
I have a few rants about the movie. Because it is not logical. For one, the Paladins hunt them for the sole purpose that "the Jumpers can do anything they want", even though technically they hadn't done anything actually bad. Andddd the Paladins kill the innocent relatives, so they should be arrested.
Sorry if these are spoilers, but I don't think you'll see this movie, because, well, I don't really recommend it. Which is sort of saying you'll actually listen to what I'm saying, but whatever. ------------------
So anyway. Went skiing today with my dad. It was actually quite awesome. I went down a red trail or two (green is easiest, then blue, red, black) and one of them was so steep you couldn't see the bottom at one point. I fell down, half on purpose, and then just dug sideways with my skis in the snow down. It was worthy of a few swearwords.
Things are good I guess... people thinking about high school a lot lately.
I almost feel like the only person I can relate to right now is the person who's in the similar position as me. And the others are just.. I do not even know.
Not good.
But then again, it's all an over-reaction. In fact, it's all real! All fake! I know!
Today is a day of... importance? Significance. It is November 3rd, yes and most people would consider tomorrow (I'd give you my two cents on Election Day, but I'll spare you the torture) to be the big buheezum (new word). But see, today is the 121th day, and it is also marks the 4th... 3rd day of the month. And because 4 months have passed out of 12, this is also the one third mark! So boo-yah! Only 2/3 more of this... this... European experience. And it's also the start of another month, and you know what that means! It means... reflection... I guess. October was ok. Helped with the break. I think I can do this! Oh and you know that "epic" blog entry I was going to do at the end? Well hmm... might not have time. But anyway! I can sum up London in like... four words/concepts:
Rainy Cold English accent-y Rainy again
And just one more for good measure:
wet/grey
But hey, I like the rain and actually London is pretty cool. I need a guitar! Like right now. And maybe my trumpet! Dude- I'm going to be so out of lip when I come back. But what the hey.
Breaking Dawn is pretty friggin' AWESOME to me. I'm on page 500, only about 300 more! I heard not many people liked this one, but I think it's great! Edward seems much better to me now. Jacob is... yeah. For those of you not familiar with the series, go check them out.
We went to the movies last night- Zach (Indian woman we're staying with- mom's friend) took us to Quantum of Solace. I saw a Twilight poster. I guess there's a trade-off, because QoS hasn't even come out yet in the States, but Twilight gets out like a month later over here. So DARN. I actually sort of want to see it. Could be a birthday present.
Random Movie Reviews by a Random Blogger (RMRbRB) Nuhm-buh One! "Take it from me- I see a few movies and tell you what I think of them!" "Some say I'm too harsh on popular culture... but I just give my two cents!" Quantum of Solace
The new James Bond with that modern *grimace* actor guy Daniel friggin' Craig.
Plot: From what I could tell, some guy (Dominic Green) wanted some oil, then was after controlling (rationing, destroying) the Bolivian water supply...
Parts: I'd say this one was about 79% senseless/overdone/not necessary violence, 4% classy parties/tuxedos, 16.8% "girl-related scenes" and maybe .2% "humor".
Opening Scene/Credits: Opening Scene was probably the most violent one I'd seen; very exciting, almost painful to watch. Credits had a good theme song, pretty good/classic effects.
Gadget Factor: Nope. None of that. Even the car(s) were disappointing.
The Verdict: This movie is crap. Plot is no; hard to follow- hardly anything to follow and I just did not see the point. Just violence and a bad guy who didn't really do anything bad. More and more, the new James Bond movies become terrible and almost unbearable for me. What happened with the classics??? I would not recommend it, but I s'pose if you're one of those 007 fanatics, it's unavoidable. I did not like it, though.
Hey, but if you see it tell me what you think.
The British commercials were pretty cool. I actually sort of liked them better. The accents were enough to make me almost crack up, too.
Random Book Reviews by Some Blogger (RBRbSB) Maximum Ride: The Final Warning by James Patterson
4th installment of the AWESOME series about 6 mutant bird kids.
This book seemed short and to me it didn't seem like Jimmy Pat put in his all for this one. I mean, ok, he just wrote 3 amazing books which must have been extremely hard, but I was disappointed. Was it just me or did Max not seem like Max hardly at ALL in this one? It felt rushed, I was surprised how the characters acted and the lack of action. I guess that's what you get when you don't have a strong conflict (well, "strong"). But it was Maximum Ride, and I couldn't pass it up. I'm not really sure I even want a movie though... the books are made for film I guess, but we all know how they ruin them. Whatever.
Some yeah and yeah...

Have you ever wondered what it'd be like to live in France for a year? Yeah me neither. But I write; it's just what I do. This blog (though some consider it to be a book...) isn't just about France though and all my ranting; it's pretty much my journal. My life. On the Internet. For all youse people to read. Indeed I am not a professional writer, but I never made you read it. Thanks for checking it out though, and I hope you like it. There's a poll once in a while, some pictures, writing stuff, and some other cool blogs you can check out.
So here it all is, me being inspired, me hating life, me loving life and just... writing. Telling you guys. Or maybe just myself.
NOTE: Most, if not all, of the pictures I put on here are taken by me, but if not I'll probably mention where I got them. Please don't take any of them without asking me, as well as the writing itself. 'Cause stealing isn't cool. ...thanks.
I'm a person, I'm a writer, nerdfighter, I'm a photographer and musician. I play trumpet and electric guitar and am a huge band geek. I like the rain, I try poetry and just lying in the grass. I'm big into classic rock and have had the Beatles' music sort of embedded into my brain at an early age. I try to be awesome, and just "be myself". It seems like we often tend to just think other people are boring or weird or something at first, but you just really got to get to know them. So.. here's my blog.
