Movie and Book Reviews

Okay, now this is where we'll see just how geeky I really am!  What am I saying, we already know how geeky I am!

 

Movie Reviews

The Lord of the Rings Trilogy!

My Prrrrrrescious!  These are soooo AMAZING!  I really can't imagine a better film!  PJ did a GREAT job on them, they're just to wonderful for words, well they're really not, but I am running out of things to write!

Music Man:
  Its a wonderful movie!  It has GREAT music and GREAT characters(Harold Hill=Doc!).  Everyone is likable even the blustery Mayor Shinn and the rascale Tommy D'Giless!  Its so fun!  Rent it and watch!

Walk The Line:
   It definetly wasn't a bad movie!  I think it kind of wound up being a bit of a chick-flick, not that it's bad, it just sort of is!  It had its very sweet parts and its very disturbing/sad parts!  It was very well made and Reese Witherspoon has a surprisingly good voice!  She's very talented!  I think I would recommend renting it or borrowing it from the library!  It was very interesting, though I felt like I was watching a movie for entertainment vs. a bio-pic!  If that's what they wanted that's great, but if they wanted a more realistic approach, I'm not sure this was the way to achieve it!

The Pink Panther:
   Okay, so maybe it wasn't the original, which I haven't seen, but as a stand alone movie, it wasn't bad!  It might have been a bit, whats the word...silly, but it was cute!  It's Steve Martin, so I really must ask, what do you expect?  If you expect, in one of his comedy movies, the highth of amazing acting, I strongly recommend you go take a look at several of his other movies, though I'll admit, he was good in Father of the Bride!  The movie doesn't make you think, I'll admit that as well, but hey, do you always need movies to?

Ice Age 2: The Melt Down
It's funny!  I liked it.  It was very clever and cute.  I think one of the funniest things was the fact that one mamoth thought she was a possum!  I can't think of two more different animals...well, I probably could, but...!  Such a clever and funny movie!  I liked it a lot!

1776:
I SAY VOTE YES, VOTE FOR INDEPENDENCY!!!!  lol, This movie is exceptionally good and fun and...*gasps* ya' know?  It makes you learn things?  Can you name the 5 writers of the DOI?  I can!  What could Thomas Jefferson do, that no other member of the 5 member committe could?  I know, do you? (lol, you probably do!)  Who constantly opposed the DOI, no not a loyalist, he served in congress!  lol, no cheating and looking at the photo album page!  This is a true red, white, and blue movie!  Now no piddling or twiddling, RESOLVE!!!!  GO RENT THE MOVIE!!!!!!!!!!!

Music Reviews!

Okay, there's some great stuff out here, if you know what you like and what your looking for!  I look for everything, I like classical, pop/oldies(which aren't ALL that OLD!), Musicals, all sorts of stuff!  If you want a review of something e-mail me and let me know!  Go Shostakovich!!!(the name is addictive!)

Tween music!  Not the teen stuff, that's SUPER lame, but sometimes tween stuff is EXACTLY what we all need!  It has a strong moral to it, but it still has a great beat, well, most of the time, and often a cool melody!  I may be 16, but I'm still either a tween or, like, 2 at heart!

Book Reviews

Catcher in the Rye, J.D. Salinger

LAMEST BOOK IN THE WORLD!!!! NEVER read it!  Its horrible, I want to push Holden off the side of that mountain he's catching people on!  It has a stupid storyline, you don't care at all about the characters and there are too many curse words!  Its just totally pathetic!
-2/2/06

Great Gatsby

It's disturbing, I know!  First lit. update in...how long?  However, as long as it's taken me to get this up...I finally did!  This book was truly amazing!  The writing is beautiful and lyrical, but what hit home for me, was suprisingly the plot.  The characters, I found, were easy to relate to.  Some of them were lovable, some of them were detestable.  However, they were all real and I found an elemant of different people in just about everyone of the characters.  Definatly look into reading this book because it is truly amazing.
