Alright that was a scene from the confusing, crazy, psychotic, freaky, disturbing, and all around AWESOME SOUTHLAND TALES!
I do need to say something to a few of my friends before I start this movie.
When I first finished this movie I thought it SUCKED! This movie is a confusing mess and I couldn’t see past that. This morning something inside of me was STRAINING to see it again. I realized what’s the harm?
So I watched it again and must say that I now think it ROCKS!
This movie consists of part 4,5, and 6 of a 6 part series about a terrorist attack in Texas.
Parts 1,2, and 3 are ONLY available in book form (which are ALSO written by Richard Kelly)
So onto the review.
The problem with this movie is that I have no idea WHERE to begin.
The movie starts off with a hand- cam recording of a family BBQ on the 4th of July for about 2 minutes everything is ver laid back and nothing important is really happening and then out of nowhere BOOM! you see a mushroom cluod slowly dissapate in the sky and you are sent off on a rocket blast of information (every bit of it important to the rest of the story) all being narrated by Justin Timberlake.
After that there is nothing but cofusion and subplots subplots subplots!
This movie actually contains: 1 main storyline, 5 plots, and about 3 subplots within each plot.
This movie is very confusing and will only be appreciated by the few people who are willing to watchit again.
I give it: 3/5 stars.

And now we’ll move along to possibly the worst movie I have ever sat through: 10,000 B.C.



This movie is boring, stupid, pointless, and pretentious.
And that’s being nice.
While the trailers made it look amazing and epic I can honestly tell you that I almost fell asleep QUITE a few times.
The special effects look good at the beginning but (as the film goes on) they get worse and worse until there is nothing left but utter tripe.
This movie i like rotten fish put into a blender then poured into a cup with whipped cream and a cherry on top. I f you aren’t looking too close it might look really good and when you atert out it’s actually pretty sweet, but soon you are left eating chocked up artichokes.
I give this movie a 0.5/5 I would not reccomend it to ANYONE EVER! EVER! DO NOT SEE IT!

On a brighter note Atonement came out on dvd yesterday



as well as Enchanted.



These were 2 of my favorite movies from 2007 and I reccomend them to EVERYONE!
Have a great day!

Pixar is amazing! but before I blog my little heart till it stiops you should probably see what I’m blogging about...

Now not only does this movie look UNBELIEVABLY EPIC AND AMAZING!
I also caught myself laughing out loud at quite a few things.
In case you are stupid and contain the IQ of a dead cockroach what you just watched is the OFFICIAL Walle- E trailer (the new film from Pixar)
Now you might be wondering "why is Andrew going bananas?"
I’LL TELL YOU WHY!
Do you remember the good ole’ Pixar days of Toy Story and A Bug’s Life?
This movie was originally thought of and created at the same time but, unfortunately, was FLUSHED!
This year Pixar needed something to fill their summer agenda (seeing how Toy Story 3 is still in post- production [I wish I was kidding])
So what better idea than to go back to their roots and recreate WALL-E! This movie is a HUGE DEAL! plus there are a few cool things about it that you won’t have noticed from the trailer so i will tell you:
1) Even though it is almost 2 hours long the movie only contains about 10 minutes of actual dialogue. the rest are those cute little mechanical squeaks!
2) there will be live (i repeat) LIVE footage in this film. the last time we saw this was in the uber- fabu HAPPY FEET! and of course Wall-E will blow those little penguins out of the water!
3) one of Wall-E’s best friend is a cockroach... and it’s adorable
So there you have it my newfound obsession is Wall-E!
btw Southland Tales came out on dvd today

this futuristic crime drama about the end of the world featuring The Rock, Sarah Michelle Guellar, and Justin Timberlake is a movie expirement
it is also written and directed by Richard Kelly who also wrote/ directed Donnie Darko (my fav. movie of all time... so far)
The experiment was to take a bunch of PATHETIC actors give them a KICK- @$$ script with a HUGE budget and TONS of scene design and see what happens. I am sure the actors themselves were not very pleased to have been chosen but they can get over it.Though I have not seen it yet I have been DYING to see. So I will have my first OFFICIAL MOVIE BLOG REVIEW up about it tomorrow! Be prepared I will probably have a lot to say.
HAH! Did you really think I was going to leav e you with no trailer? Silly you!


TOODLES HAVE A GREAT DAY!

Amelia PLEASE MARRY ME!
THAT WAS THE COOLEST COMMENT EVA!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I was trying to think of somthing to blog-a-log about when I receive the best blog comment in the history of eva!

"Y to the ES! blog-a-log-a-log-a-log-log-log your heart out! i want more! i NEED more! i need to keep CZECHING (seriously laughed out loud - expect me to steal that) your blogs out!

blogging is good for the soul.
definitely do it more.
you’re so good at it, too.
now i want to read that book.

also, i feel special x 10^99 for you posting those shoes. : )

what did you ever get grounded for anyway? did you sing broadway around the house too much? seriously, you’re a good kid. i just cannot imagine.

mere months until SEYC..."

Thanks Amelia that was the coolest (be prepared I am about to blogalogalogalogalogalogalogalogalogalogalog)
Let’s start with the basics.
SEYC is a christian youth camp that takes place every summa!
(I don’t even LIKE christian functions a lot of the time because they come off as so uber- conservative and what not BUT I lurve SEYC!)

Let’s reflect on some of the good times...(all pictures came from Rebecca’s profile because I lost my camera at the camp and because Amelia’s pics are no where to be found)

That’s us the TRIO if you will (L TO R: Amelia, Me, and Rebecca)


I was WITHOUT A DOUBT sporting a curly fro this season



This is Kyle who we eventually started calling Kyle XY and he joined the trio therefore making it a quartet.

It is always one of the HIGHLIGHT of my summer and my year overall!
The worship service isn’t that bad and they DEFINITELY are not beating you over the head with your handy dandy Jesus book
It is just a very relaxed social atmosphere.
One of the coolest people EVA! runs this camp and that is DEBRA!


She is always so much fun to hang out with at camp.
There’s also Ben Stribling but I can’t find a decent pic so for the poeple that were there you know who I am talking about.
MERE MONTHS till next year when we get to climb the mountain and do the dance and sing the Broadway and create the inside jokes and make our year more summa-licious!
CAN’T WAIT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
EXCITEMENT IS PULSING THROUGH MY BONES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
unfortunately the other highlight of my summer (Young Musician’s Camp) is looking like a Big Fat Ugly NO! from the p-a-r-ents which is totally not cool but whatev! there is still a slim skimmy chance that I can go but it’s not likely...
btw I’M NOT THERE IS PLAYING AT THE SUMMIT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I am probably going to try to go see it thursday night and hopefully with Natalie Hill if she is available (NATLIE IF YOU READ THIS CALL ME ASAP!!!!!!)
If you don’t know what I’m not there is than I shall tell you.



Doesn’t it look totally Blachett-alicious?!
That’s right the Bob Dylan you saw with curly hair (the one that looks most like him) is none other than the UBER-AMZING CATE BLANCHETT!
She even got an oscar nom. for that role. She also got the oscar nom. for Elizabeth: The Golden Age (the most un-fabu movie to EVER hit theaters)
However I’m Not there looks absolutely breathtaking with it’s visuals and what not SO I WILL BE SEEING IT!!!!!!!!!
Comment please and tell me what you think!

Alright so this spring break is shaping up to be a disaster but I am clinging to hope. I have been ungrounded... on tuesday wednesday and thursday. But I am being forced to write an essay on the book Anthem by Ayn Rand.



Now everyone in my grade should have read this book and if you haven’t it is almost the exact same thing as The Giver. (remember 8th grade?)

This essay is going into a contest for big bucks towards college (although that won’t help anyone who never does their homework )

I also have to weed the garden (fun fun right?)
but I am praying to the god of film othat I will finally be seeing Vantage Point this week.

btw I am also going to star blogging... a lot so be prepared.

P.S. have you seen these shoes?



they defy all physics but they still work. (neato buh cheeto thanks a bunch Amelia for posting that blog)
