Star Trek

I'm not a fan of Star Trek or Star Wars or any of those SciFi Epic Space series shows/movies, but the Star Trek movie does come out in December and me and by friends are going to go see it. (They're fans) so I just wanted to address the subject to those other fans out there who didn't know about the new movie. Here's a trailer:

And you can also watch it here for a better picture. I noticed the one I got from Youtube was a little blurry.

Vantage Point also looks like a good movie. I saw a trailer of it on TV, but the trailer link on this page gives more about the movie, I think.

P.S. Does anyone remember that movie called The Initiation of Sarah? There is the old one, and then ABC redid it a few years ago. For some reason that popped into my head and I want to see who all has seen it.

Cloverfield and Shakespeare?

So last night me and my friend Ashlee went to the movies to see Cloverfield with Deana, my other friend. The movie was good. Here's some videos trailers and clips. And this one too:




*Warning: The rest of this post will spoil the movie for those who haven't seen it! Beware!*

So I won't give too much away for the reason of people have a tendency to be curious. But I will say the movie just ends. That reminds me of Shakespeare's work because in Shakespeare's plays, his doesn't give you all the details and you have to figure them out for yourself and guess your opinion on it. That is kind of how Cloverfield is. Except it is totally a Godzilla for America. At the end it seems like a horrible ending, but it is one of those movies that leaves you thinking days later. (Those are my favorite kind of movies) and I thinks that makes it good.

You also have to know the reason they filmed it they way they did: because they wanted it to seem like this had already happened and they were showing it later after they recovered the video.

It was good enough to go see. So go see it. Or rent it at least when it comes out on DVD.

Maximum Ride 4 and Hamlet

There is s rumor that there is going to be a 4th Maximum Ride, though I went to the sight to see if it was true and it wasn't there. So can anyone tell me if it is true and where I can find it. Please and thank you!

And in other news: My English class just finished reading Hamlet. I found this sorta funny video. But it WONT be funny if you haven't read the play or if you don't quite understand it. Here's the trailer:

Here's the first half

And here's the second half. The end after the credits is pretty stupid though...


OK, this seems like a lot, but I have one more video. I first saw it on yahoo, and I found it and want to share. It's "American Toy Boy:Etch-A-Sketch Man. It's cool to see all the stuff people can do with an etch-a-sketch.

The Field Guide

So Scott Westerfeld is now making a field guide for his Uglies series. On his blog you can post what all stuff you want him to put and answer in it; diagrams, maps, backgrounds. Here's the link: http://scottwesterfeld.com/blog/?p=385#comments

Twisted Wizard of Oz!

OK, well, since youtube is the best place to watch stupid funny videos, I was there to check out some videos by my friends that she'd talked about at school. Upon my searching, I ran into this version of the Wizard of Oz. It's falarious! And a pretty good job for a home movie. So here they are:*

*Warning: These videos contain language and alcohol references.

Hope you guys like them!

Other Sights

OK, so I just wanted to post some good sights:

scottwesterfeld.com This is a sight of a popular young adult book author. They are mostly sci fi, but they are very good. He's a very good writer.

http://stepheniemeyer.com This is the sight of the also famous young adult author of the Twilight series. Which by the way, is going to be a movie that will start filming in 2008!

And, um... I don't know any good movie sights. Well, I guess this one, but that's all, so if you know any good sights, I'll post them!

Oh! And one more thing! I thought this was kind of cool. It's human tetris!
