1. The Time Traveler's Wife

now, i apologize to those who love this book, but i must share my opinion.

but dude!....i could NOT get into this book.

there are few books that i just stop reading altogether because i loathe them...i usually just push my way through {don't say it...don't say it...}.

not this case...i just couldn't do it.

i would rather spend my time reading something enjoyable than waste it finishing a book i don't like.

i won't tell you to read it or not to read it...just know i nixed it.

and i have a brand new copy if anyone wants to have it....

 

 

 

 

2. Cloudy With a Chance of Meatballs

dude...did anyone LOVE this book when they were little?

i remember hearing it the first time in the library at school when i was like 7 years old and just being enchanted by the illustrations and the fun story...

 

naturally i was apprehensive to see the lamespice-looking computer animated adaptation...but since my parents offered to pay for the Tedward and I, we went along. remember, my favorite word is free?...and peeta.

duh.

my parents were even cool enough to pay extra for us to wear the really nerdy looking 3-D goggles. if you go see the movie, i suggest you pay a little extra and catch it in 3D...nothing like seeing a 3Dimensional hamburger fly past you when you are starving...srsly.

 

 

 

my apprehension was in vain because dude...the movie was BRILLIANT.

the tedward and i laughed and laughed and laughed. it was amazing.

and want to know what sealed the deal? the fact that Mr. T was in it.

Yes...he was. it was epic.

and want to know what else was epic?

the fact that the hamburgers fell out of the sky perfectly assembled.

that is good stuff right there...

 

 

 

oh and btw...i have a crush on Flint Lockwood...the nerdy animated scientist. aint no thing...some girls have a crush on Eric from "The Little Mermaid"...i see nothin' wrong with that.

 

 

 

 

3. "The Fury" + "The Dark Reunion"

those that have read the Vampire Diaries, know that the first two books are joined together in one book...and the second two books are bound in another. last time i reviewed the Vampire Diaries was after i finished books 1 and 2. I loved books 1 and 2.

 

 

but i think i liked books 3 and 4 better.

elena is no longer a superficial stupid high school girl...

damon isn't as ridiculous...i sorta like him a lot in these books.

and stefan is...sigh...stefan.

there is more action. a lot of strong friendships. a lot of love.

you guys will like the final books in the series :)

i cried. srsly...i did.

 

 

 

 

4. FAME

now...i never saw the first one, so i can't give a good comparison.

but i can say that i really really enjoyed the movie!

even the tedward enjoyed it, which says something.

the music was fantastic.

the acting was great from such young up and coming actors.

there weren't any parts that dragged...it held your attention.

and oh...did i mention the dancing was phenomenal?

 

this girl probably is one of the most talented dancers i have ever seen.

i.was.in.awe.

too bad she is a brat in the movie. srsly. :)

so go see FAME!
