Movie review of the week!

-
Today I had the opportunity to see The Spiderwick Chronicles, and Jumper. Here are my reviews of both....

Spiderwick Chronicles

It may not have been exactly like the books but it was close enough. It made me cry, laugh, and sit on the edge of my seat in anticipation. I think that it was one of the greatest movies ever! The only thing I didn't like was that they made it a lot sweeter than the books. The books were pretty negative, and I liked it. I highly recommend this movie to all of you! *Sigh* I think that Freddie Highmore is adorable playing his own twin. I love the Spiderwick Chronicles!

Jumper

This is one of the worst movies of all time. It moved slowly, it didn't explain anything, and it didn't make sense. The dude was full of himself, and put other people in danger because of his stupidity. The movie trailers made it look so good, but sadly it wasn't. The only part that was remotely good was the parts with Griffin in it. Griffin was the only sensible person throughout the whole movie! He is also a Jumper, he is very blunt, and funny! And the girl that David (The Jumper) loved was clueless and annoying. Hm..Well he was clueless too so I guess they were a perfect match. The only part I liked was the part where Griffin, and David fight over the bomb thingy. I would not recommend this movie to anyone. Well except for those of you who like boring, pointless movies. In that case I would.

I would like to thank my Mom, and Dad for taking us to see these movies! You're the best!

    Thanks for the excellent movie reviews! We were thinking of taking Zach (he's your same age!) to see Spiderwick Chronicles on President's Day, and your review made me decide to go for sure!

    On the other hand, your twin went on a date with the boyfriend tonight, and they were pretty sure they were going to see Jumper. I wish I'd read this in time to warn them, haha! It might be fun to hear what they have to say about it when they get back! ;)

    haha, I LOVE that you liked the negativity of the books! I cracked up...girl, you're awesome!

    Well, I went with Ted to see "Jumper" and I must admit, it was entertaining but definately not one of my favorites. I agree, Griffin was the best! I kinda wanted to kiss his face because he was hilarious!

    That's too bad that Jumper was so horrible! Like you said, the trailers make it look really good!
    There are so many movies I want to see, but it's too expensive to see them all in the theaters! I'll have to see the Spiderwick movie though, I love movies that were books :)

SPRING BREAK!!!!

Words cannot express how much love I feel for Spring Break right now. This picture pretty much sums up how I felt when I got out of school last Friday! It has been a crazy busy semester, so this week without having to worry about assignments and projects has been absolutely fantastic! Unfortunately, it's now Thursday and it is almost time to dive back into reality! :( Alright so here are five things that I love at the moment: 1. Sherlock Holmes on BBC!! Even when I am super busy I make time to watch this show! :) It has hilarious dialogue, plus it doesn't hurt that Sherlock is super cute! And the best part of this show is that the next episode for season two is going to air on my birthday!!!! To say that I am excited is a complete understatement! 2. Popcorn! The popcorn my mom buys hardly has any calories, it is delicious, and pretty much my favorite food at the moment! 3. The Clockwork Prince! I bought this book the week after it came out, and I fell in love with it. I

New York Story: NYC's Version of The Little Mermaid

New York City in the summer is Satan's literal anus. It smells bad and it's hot as hell. In an effort to help people in the city cool down, the fire department opens up the fire hydrants. Many people use the open water as a splash pad or a car wash. I preferred to close the curtains and lay in front of a fan for hours at a time. But to each their own, right? I lived down the street from the 1 Train at 135th and used that train almost exclusively to get to Amelia and Dillon's house. The 1 train was more reliable than the life ruining M11 bus, even though I liked taking the bus to the West Side way more. Anyway, since I practically lived on their couch on the weekend, the trip from Hamilton Heights to the West Side was familiar.  On this particular occasion, I had dinner plans with Amelia and Dillon and I was already running behind. I decided to walk on the right side of the street so I could pick up dessert at the grocery store before getting on the train. For reference, I N

Thanksgiving Day One!!

Okay, so I have never blogged from my phone before, so this will be interesting! Winter I my favorite time of the year. I love the cold weather, the clothes, the Christmas romantic comedies, and especially the general attitude. I love having an attitude of gratitude. And it seems like during the holiday season other people adopt that point of view as well. One of the most rewarding feelings is when you bring a light into someone's life, and the Thanksgiving and Christmas holidays gives opportunities to do that. For the next five days I will be posting the things I am thankful for!! 5) Over the summer, I decided that I wanted to do a big project for personal progress. I decided on making baby hats for premature babies. Unfortunately, however, I am not crafty, I don't know how to knit, and I fail miserably at every artsy endeavor I have tried. Despite all the things that could go wrong, I bought hat knitting looms. It took a couple of days for me to finally learn how to do
