I really don’t get it. Sure, a movie can have a horrible plot, and all the same, be fun to watch (even just to jeer at). If this weren’t true, why would the Twilight series have so much box office success? Badum ting! (Pantomime drum and crash cymbal)
Go see a FREE OUTDOOR FILM screening on the rooftop of the Alexander Calhoun Library! Raging human atrocities and massacres ravaged the African country of Liberia. This savage civil war knew no boundaries- villages were pillaged by child soldiers, innocent civilians were targeted by the rebels and government alike and terror trapped many fearful persons…
Last week I went to see the movie Colombiana, starring Zoe Saldana who plays a girl that seeks revenge for the death of her family. She trains to be an assassin in order to hunt down and kill the people responsible and she also hunts down people that she and her uncle feels are a…
Last Saturday, I went to go see the Sneak Peek premiere of new movie The Smurfs. It was quite an interesting experience. When I got to the entrance, there were three big security guys that had to check me for my phone and any other recording devices, which I had to place into a paper…
I first heard about this book from the Calgary Herald and soon learned about the hype it got in England. Knowing little about the book, other than the fact that half of Europe was going crazy for it, I decided to pick it up and give it a shot. The book is basically a journey through…
X-Men has got to be one of Marvel’s best Universes. You have a human who suddenly realizes that they’re different; and who hasn’t faced people who are discriminatory?
Last weekend I got to see the horror film Insidious with my friends. I don’t know why we keep watching horror films at the theatre; none of us actually enjoy being scared out of our wits. Insidious follows a family of five that just moved into their new house. All is going well until one…
[youtube Zp1BYzIVi0U] Growing up, Disney movies were the source of my childhood. I remember watching movies like Little Mermaid and Beauty and the Beast 24/7, every day of every week until I found a new interest. Not only me, but every member in my family. Disney was and still is a large part of my…
No Morning Fix this week guys, as I’ve been working on a super-awesome video project that I’m very excited to show you! Hopefully I’ll be able to get a short trailer ready for next week, but for now, here’s a touching story of perseverance. [youtube jU4oA3kkAWU]
One of the best adaptations of a true story, Soul Surfer is based off the 2004 non-fiction book Soul Surfer: A True Story of Faith, Family and Figthing to Get Bakc on the Board by Bethany Hamilition. Portrayed as the very same character in the movie, Benthany Hamiliton’s left arm was bitten off by a shark when…
Well let me start off by saying this movie is pretty weird. It is about this night watchman at a museum that is being done up. One night, he mysteriously kills himself by slitting his throat with a piece of broken mirror. The museum then hires another night watchman to fill the shift. He then…
[youtube isjY34VD5jE] To tell readers the truth, I didn’t have high hopes for this movie. I had never heard anyone speak of it before, nor did I know what kind of story I was in for. Was it going to be like Jaws, or more of a generic incident-struggle-accomplishment movie? Luckily, it was neither of…
On Friday, I had the chance to go see the movie “Battle Los Angeles” with a couple of friends. This movie was not quite what I expected… but then again, movies are rarely what I expect them to be. The plot is quite simple; an alien race invades earth for our resources and a group…
[youtube hoWifeC0UOU] This week in class we watched Revolutionary Road. One of the songs that really hit me was the ending theme by Thomas Newman. It had a calm soothing tone to it, that I though everyone could appreciate at anytime, so I decided to share it with everyone here. Hope you all enjoy it…
Okay, so you’re probably wondering, what on the earth is a “bookie?” Well to save space, my post will be a review on the book and movie, Flipped. The book was written by Wendelin Van Draanen and judging from this book, she’s a wonderful writer! The book focuses on two characters (who switch perspectives in…
