Breaking Dawn Part 2

So, I went to go see Breaking Dawn Part 2 today and can say that I was actually impressed!




I was a huge fan of these books when they first came out and I was so excited when I heard that they would be turned into movies. BUT... When Twilight came out I was not impressed at all. The whole movie was just awkward. Now I will say that the movies steadily got better as they came out! But I was still always disappointed with something.

This new movie was absolutely awesome! I would explain my favorite part.. but it gives too much of the movie away. I will say though, that even for the people that read the books, this movie will shock everyone!! Some parts totally took me by surprise!

Bella was super hot as a vampire! She totally owned it! Jacob was just as sexy as ever! and the other characters were all great too! One thing I loved was the fact that you got so hooked into everyone wanting to protect the girl and everyone working together to protect one another, that you get sucked in to the love and friendship they all have for each other. Also, I loved getting to see a diverse group of the vampire world! It was pretty awesome!


And the bad guys were totally awesome as well!




Now, the only thing I absolutely could not stand... and this has been an issue since the first movie... is the effects on the super speed and jumping! WHAT IS THAT? All of the powers that the vampires have are made to look awesome, but the jumping and speed just look ridiculous. They have made plenty of money through out these series to do a little better with that.

Another thing about this movie was the parts that make you laugh. Unlike the first couple, where you laughed just because the actors were quite awkward in their roles, Breaking Dawn Part 2 actually had funny parts that were meant to be there! And it worked too!

All in all though, this movie was still amazing! It was the absolute best of the Twilight movies and had plenty of surprises!

I would give it 3.8 stars out of 5.

Paranormal Activity 4


There was screaming... There was jumping out of the seat... And there was me saying "why did I come watch this movie? WHY?"

It was so scary! I hate all of the Paranormal Activity movies because they always make me wanna just cry or scream for dear life. This one was no exception.
Just like the ones before it, it is pretty slow at the beginning and all of the action is jam packed at the end. Also, this ending to me was not very good! I hate the whole witch covenant thingy.. Why couldn't they just keep the movie about creepy demon guy and forget about witch covenant thingy.

But all in all it was still poop you pants scary! 
But I would save your money and wait till it is out on DVD to rent, or even wait till it is free on Netflix!

Perks of Being A Wallflower

This book is so amazing! When I was a sophomore in high-school, a friend of mine told me that one day this book was going to be huge. I always meant to read the book but I eventually forgot about it. Sure enough he was right about the book. Now, I did not only read this book because it is not famous and a major motion picture. I do however have a rule, I must read the book before watching the movie NO MATTER WHAT! So I remembered the name of this book that I was told about a while ago and I am so happy to have been reminded! Just simply amazing and not what I expected at all!

Taking you inside a world of misfit kids coming together to make each other feel apart of something. Written as a series of letters from the main character Charlie, this book takes you through his perspective in high-school.

This book is such a unique story.

There is just one thing I always find myself asking. WHO WAS HE WRITING THE LETTERS TO?

I would love to know the answer to that question!! I know that is not the point to the story and that is not even a significant part to it but I just can not let it go!


Now, this book has been turned into a major motion picture! I have not yet seen this movie, but I have heard only good things about it! On rotten tomatoes the audience rated the movie 95% and the over all ratings by critics included was a 86%. I say overall that is pretty dang good!

Pitch Perfect!

OH MY GOSH! I loved it! this was such a funny and awesome movie! The singing and everything was so cool! I love how they can make all the music themselves! And I could not stop laughing! Such a good fun movie! It was like a mix between Glee and Bridesmaids!

I enjoyed the singing so much that I bought the soundtrack in the car ride home from the movie! 

My favorite girl character was Amy! She was the funniest one of them all! You may recognize her from bridesmaids:

In this movie she is even funnier! 


My favorite guy character was, of course, Jesse. He is the main guy character and his personality is just amazing! Plus talk about amazing singing that makes him even sexier than he already is! 

Also, another hilarious character was someone you may recognize from Workaholics! 
This guy was cracking me up as well! And surprisingly can sing too! 

All in all this movie was 4.5 out of 5!

The Amazing Spider-man!

May I just start off by saying this movie was AMAZING! Not only did it do a better job at following the comics but the chemistry of the characters and just how it was put together were great!
Emma Stone and Andrew Garfield were perfect for their roles! They worked great together! He's hot she's gorgeous and they both are amazing actors so it was very entertaining to watch! 
The special effects were outstanding! I saw it in 3D and there were a few moments I couldn't help but jump. 

I recommend everyone go see this! I am not saying it is better than the old ones because it is actually pretty hard to compare them. They are just so different from each other and I loved both movies. But I give this version
