just kidding. I lied

The sequel will be on the NEXT post :P

anyways here are some informal movie reviews for movies I've watched these past few weeks:

1) Pan's Labyrinth- 5 stars! Great plot, great setting, AWESOME MUSIC, and cool special effects. Rated R.

2) Hannibal Rising- 4 1/2 stars. It was really good. Setting was great, casting was impeccable (Gaspard Ulliel XDDDD). Acting was perfect. Some of the character's accents threw off the characterization. Screenplay written by Thomas Harris himself, but not much like the book (or thats wat the fans say. Poorly received by audiences. Rated R

3) 300- 5 stars! PERRFECT film effects. The perfect degree of suspense and drama. Casting was AWESOME! (Gerard Butler XDDD) Special effects were remarkable. Well received :) Rated R

4) Notes on a Scandal- 3 stars. Graphic, and too much drama. What I did like was the casting; Judi Dench and Cate Blanchette really collaborate well. Rated R

5) Far From Heaven- 4 stars. It was okay. It was really dramatic. The situation is wierd. The setting is really nice though. The characterization portrayed by Julianna Moore was impeccable. Rated PG-13

6) Away From Her-4 1/2 stars. Sweet movie. I really liked it. But there isn't really any climax to the plot. It's more of a monotone story. Great back story. Rated R (I think)

7) Meet the Fockers- 5 stars! I honestly CANNOT believe I didn't watch it sooner. It's HILARIOUS!

8) Fracture- 4 1/2 stars. I loved Anthony Hopkins's acting in this movie; he seems to like playing sadistic and clever criminals who bust out of jail by means of critical thinking.It reminded me of his role in Silence of the Lambs and Hannibal. Overall, the acting was great. I didn't really get the plot because my rambunctious cousins were over and wanted to play the nintendo 64 (yeah, I'm a little out-dated...)

GUESS WHO TALKED TO DAVEY HAVOK OVER THE PHONE?!

...none other than the slum child herself. She stayed up past the late hours and on to the early hours trying to call the station. After about an hour and a half, they picked up the phone. Haha...I'll bet she was being her bubbly self. I'm sure he was charmed.



PLEASE NOTE: IF YOU DON'T KNOW WHO THE SLUM-CHILD IS, PLEASE FEEL FREE TO READ MY PREVIOUS POST ON HER. THEN YOU'LL SEE WHY I PUT A PICTURE OF TIFA TALKING TO A PICTURE OF DAVEY HAVOK...

pbbbbbbbt!

This is a poem I had to write for my English class. Real stupid. And I think I've stressed the definition of "free verse" to its breaking point. That's pretty much all there is to say about it...

Ode to Desolate Mother

I need sleep, you’d say
Of course! You’ve been up since the crack of dawn
And you haven’t known rest since
Who knew that the moment I walked in your presence
That you would just snap?
Did you even consider that I might’ve been having a good day?
That by your prominent sigh of exasperation
You could’ve dissolved my feel-good glow
Into your super-massive vortex of gloom?

Now that you’ve recruited me into your army of misery,
Who should I get next?
Dad? The happy-go-lucky guy?
You should get him
You can make him irritable and moody in a blink of an eye
I’ll provoke the sibling
Now that you’ve recruited me into your army of misery,
Who should I get next?
Dad? The happy-go-lucky guy?
You should get him
You can make him irritable and moody in a blink of an eye
I’ll provoke the sibling

We’re now currently under the extensive dismal, apathetic cloud
Which you have created.
Thanks. A lot.
So now as we go about our gloomy business,
I’d like to point out
MISERY GOES WITH HAPPINESS
LIKE PLAID AND POLKA DOTS.

.....

Mom, I love you.
But next time,
Please let me wallow in my moments of mirth
Before you decide that my garish presence
Must be extinguished.

hmmm....maybe it would have sounded better if I read it to the class...

O.O"""""

nah...

daaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaang....

...is my last name. Seriously, it is. so yeah, its been...3 weeks since my last post? OH.MY.GOSH. I still didn't take that graphic picture off?!? Ah well, ill keep it for old times sake. If you don't like it, notice that i put "please ignore this" next to it. HEED THE NOTE. Anyways, here are some things that're going on:

1. My teachers are crazy...like diabolical crazy. I was playing this dodgeball-related game and it was between me and my PE teacher. She crouched like a wild animal with two fleece balls in her hands. I had two chances to wipe her out. She started this Hannibal Lecter act with the sharp teeth and the psychopathic wild-eye. I seriously considered surrendering. But i decided to give it a try. I threw both of my fleece balls at her. She dodged with a move that was like Tom Cruise in MI3. I ran. She got me in the back (*imaginary gunshot sound*) So yeah, my teachers are awesome.

2. Theres this gay/straight allinace club at my school...i didn't want to even consider it...it probably gets really ugly, if you know wat i mean.

3. straight A's so far...physics is a pain, I'm sitting on the fence between an A- and a B+ if i fall off on the wrong side (figuratively speaking) I'm gonna get my butt whooped (literally speaking; parental units are of an asian race)

4. Chris Crocker needs psychological help. [Now, don't hate me for this, but] I do think that he believes he's a woman....seriously, does he think he can just grow female genitals by just wishing them there? MY GOSH! EITHER GO UNDER THE PROCEDURE OF HETEROSEXUAL CONVERSION, OR CHANGE UR GENDER! PICK ONE! PEOPLE ONLY LIKE YOU BECAUSE UR A FREAK! WAIT...NEVERMIND! (>_>) AND BRITNEY SPEARS IS JUST HOPELESS UNLESS SHE STOPS TAKING DRUGS. EVERYONE KNOWS SHE CAN'T. DEAL WITH IT, DUDE/DUDETTE!

5. started to listen to 90's/80s music; radiohead, jimi hendrix, rolling stones, and the cure. awesome.

6. I'm supposed to be doing homework, but i decided that now was the perfect time to make a blog post.

7. Hey, if you like to buy awesome T-shirts for a good cause, visit
http://www.yellowbirdproject.com (oh my gosh, I sounded like a spammer just now. And yes, ur gonna have to copy/paste.) A few musicians/bands have designed some T-shirts to raise money for the Teenage Cancer Trust. You can buy me one if you want >=D

8. I'm reading Silence of the Lambs by Thomas Harris. It was made into a movie in the 90's i think. I wanna watch it. The DVD was at Walmart packages as a double feature with its sequel Hannibal. It was $14. I went last week and they were sold out. I NEED IT.

9. i really need to do my homework...ah well, i don't have that much anyway.

10. no number ten, i feel incomplete.

And yeah, thats wat's going on...now i have to do homework. Highschool doesn't graduate itself, you know.
