Movie: 2012


Well, its fun to see the end of the world. Honestly, who could complain about that? But dont expect a good story.

They made the true hero out to be a bad guy, and it ruined the story for me. And the main character was needlessly putting 100s of 1000s of lives in danger to save his own family.

Stupid.

But again, its fun to see the end of the world.

Movie: A Christmas Carol



The story of The Christmas Carol by Charles Dickens is by far one of the most epic stories of all time ever period forever. There is alot of self-discovery in hypocrisy everytime I watch any version of that story (even this one).

But the new Disney show stunk, like a skunk, in a trunk, full of junk.

The digital-ness of it was very unnatural and there were lots of scenes that felt like time fillers rather than moving the story forward. I was very dissappointed.

My 2 favorite retellings of it are "The Muppets Christmas Carol" and "Scrooge" starring Albert Finney. Ill just stick to those 2 this year.

Lately

Here is what Ive done lately that I want to blog about but probably wont.

Read Dan Browns "The Lost Symbol". Same exact story as all his others, and the last 50 pages were WAY to preachy. Not too excited for his next book.

Read "Catching Fire", part of the Hunger Games series and LOVED IT.

Saw Surrogates with Bruce Willis. Definitely a guy show, and I loved it as well.

Saw Cirque du Freak, the Vampires Assistant. Kinda fun, not bad, not awesome. Glad I went.

Wish I could see Paranormal Activity. Very interested in a movie than get so much hype simply because of how terrifying it is. Too bad its rated R :(

Watching all 3 CSIs, Modern Family, The Office, Community, The Vampire Diaries, Law & Order SVU, V, House, Monk, Psych, and Bones. Soooo many good shows on TV right now, or maybe its the change in the weather? - but I am really loving TV lately.

Im slightly excited for the new Family Search. It looks cool anyway. I hope it can hook me, as I fail big time in the genealogy dept.

Thats good enough.
