So Yesterday

So Yesterday

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:

I really really liked this movie. I'm not really the super hero movie type, but this was great. It was a good mix of action, romance, and people getting blown up and shot. The very end was... well, it's not how I would end it, but it was still great!

It's about a guy who all his life has made the most technological weapons of mass destruction, and on one of his missile presentations, a group of terrorists, who force him to make them a very destructive weapon. Instead, he builds the Iron Man suit and fights his way out of there. When he returns home, he realises that he doesn't want to cause destruction, but rather, he wants to prevent it. And thus becomes Iron Man.

This was a good movie. I enjoyed it. It was very original and unique. I saw it with my friend, who brought it over and forced me to watch it with her.

It is about a teenager who gets pregnant and about all that pregnant teens go through. Juno, the teen, decides to give up her baby for adoption. She finds the perfect family for her unborn child and starts to think they are cool, yet also kind of not so cool. And her friend, Paulie (the one who got her pregnant) and her start to become a couple.

Here are two different previews. I put two because they are both only simi-good videos. So two simi-good videos equal and good one. Here they are:

This was a pretty good movie. It was the typical Vegas movie, but it was still good. I went and saw it with a group of friends. I thought it was good. Everyone seemed to be on about the same grading scale. Over all, it was a movie worth seeing. It's funny, romantic and exciting.

The film is about this guy named Ben who is an excellent student and thrives in math. He is trying to get into Harvard, but doesn't have the money to afford it, until he is asked to join this small group of card-counting black jack players. He joins he team and right at the top of his game, things starts to go downhill.

I don't want to give away anymore, because it's a movie worth seeing. Here's the trailer, though:

Maximum Ride: Final Warning

Maximum Ride: Final Warning

I went to Barns&Nobles the day this book came out, expecting it to end. I guess "Final Warning" is just not a good name for a book that doesn't end a series. It's was almost liked he tried too hard just to write another so he could make it a series. I mean, how many times does Max have to save the world for these books to be over?! She shouldn't be portrayed as a super hero. I barely wanted to finish it. It was like an environmentalist threw up and it became a book.

This one is about how the crew decides to be all against global warming and goes to Antarctica. There, they are kidnapped and managed to escape because of a hurricane. That is caused by global warming? Come on! That's the cheesiest 200 pages I've ever read.

Take my advice and don't waste your time or money! It's not worth it! And this book just reveals that he wants to make it a big long series. That makes it stupid. End of discussion!

I went to go see this movie with my sister and my dad, instead of going to some overly expensive horrible restaurant with my cousins. That was their loss. This was a good movie. Now, the graphics were nothing special and the acting was average. But it was just one of those movies you had to like. The plot was not historical in any means, but no one ever said this was a historical based film. It's just a movie.

The story is about a small prehistoric tribe that gets invaded by more civilized areas of the world. The main character's love of his life is taken from him and he has to venture across new lands to save her and a bunch of other people. Along the way, he joins up with other tribes who have had the same thing happen to them as he has. They all get together and take down Egypt.

Like I said: It's not supposed to be accurate, but a good story.
