The Chronicles of Narnia: Prince Caspian

The Chronicles of Narnia: Prince Caspian

10 out of 10


This was a really good movie; a nice follow-up of the first movie. I enjoyed the whole movie, and the music was great too. I liked the fact that they didn't change it from the book by too much.

In this Chronicle of Narnia, Peter, Susan, Edmond, and Lucy are brought back to Narnia by Prince Caspian, who called them with Queen Susan's magical horn. 1,000 has past in Narnia since the children had last visited, and things have changed: Prince Caspian's evil uncle has taken over Narnia, preventing Caspian's rein over the land. It is up to the Pevensie children, Prince Caspian, and the remaining Narnias to defeat him.

Here is the trailer:

So Yesterday

So Yesterday
by Scott Westerfeld
6 out of 10

I have finally read So Yesterday. I enjoyed reading about Scott's idea of "cool". It makes you think, just like all of his books. It is an easy-reader.

The novel is about Hunter, who is a "Cool Finder". One day meets Jen, and that is when things get weird. His boss disappears, these really cool shoes appear, and fake new-brand products start to show up, causing chaos. And then the Jammers show up and everything gets worse!

This is a good book, and the only reason it is rated so low is because the ending just kind of cuts off, leaving you hanging off of a way too tall cliff. Click here to read the first chapter!

My friend Ashlee has been begging me to watch this movie since it came out on DVD. I finally got the chance to. It was really good. It made me laugh. It made me cry. It was a wonderful experience. This a great movie, but totally a chick flick. I especially loved the music, but that;s just me. The story is really good.

It is a story about Holly Kennedy. Her husband, a cute Irish singer, dies of cancer and leaves Holly a devastated young widow, who is lost in her own world of grief and sorrow. She wants to stay in her apartment forever, even when her friends try to help her. Then, on her birthday, Holly receives a recorded message from the one person she least expects: her deceased husband. He tells her to follow the instructions that he leaves for her. These instructions are to help Holly move on in life and to stop grieving.

This is a really good movie. It reminded me alot of 13 Little Blue Envelopes, by Maureen Johnson. Here's the trailer for P.S. I Love You:
