Sorry Guys.

Sorry I haven't posted for awhile. I've been really busy getting ready to show my cows at the fair. Yes, I said cows. I have 5 of them, Lulu, Sweetness, Sweettart, Tink and Belle. So I'll be at the fair all next week. But when I get back on Saturday I will have Forever (Maggie Steifvater) , Impulse (Ellen Hopkins), Identical (Ellen Hopkins), and hopefully many others to review that I will read at the fair. Then, unfortunately, college starts on the 22nd. So I don't know how much I'll be able to post during that time. I don't really know how much I will be able to read period. So, for now I say adios. Maybe I'll be able to post some time during the fair, if I can get some WiFi.
Until Next Time

Book v. Movie - Beastly

vs.

So I promised you guys I would compare the Beastly movie to the book. Well. Let me just say, this is one of the worst book adaptions I have seen yet. The movie was so far off the book. I watched it with my mom and little brother. First off, Vanessa Hudgens was the WORST person for the role of Lindy. She acted too cocky. She was supposed to be a quiet book nerd, not some girl that wanted to try and be all flirty with the most "gorgeous and popular guy in school" (who btw I did not find too attractive). I thought Neil Patrick Harris played Will awesomely. It definitely added that awesome humor to the movie. 

But there were so many things different from the book! To begin with, what happened to Kendra's magic mirror? Because, to be honest, that was my favorite part of the book. I loved reading about him looking in the magic mirror at all the people from his old school and realizing how cruel the people were, and watching Lindy just reading. They completely left that out! I was so disappointed. And her father in this one was all "I want to keep her safe, I want to keep her safe", when in the book he offered Hunter his daughter because he thought Hunter was trying to get money from him, so he offered him Lindy. Oh. And his nanny was supposed to be Spanish. not African. That made me mad too.

So what is with the tattoos and scars and stuff? The last time I checked Hunter was supposed to actually look like a beast, you know, fur, claws, the whole deal. And they were supposed to go play in the snow, not a lake house. This movie really made me angry. I am not happy. Like, I was seriously expecting better. It wasn't that it was a horrible movie. It would have been fine if it was on its own so I give it a B for that, but as far as being based on the book, I give it a D. I mean, at least the characters had the same name (even if they didn't look like they were supposed to....).             

Until Next Time!

Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 2

I laughed. I cried. And I cried. And I cried some more. And then I cried even more than that. But it was oh so amazing. Especially in IMAX 3D. It was so amazing. I loved every minute of it! My boyfriend had no idea what was going on. He informed me that he had only seen bits and pieces of the first movie. Well that's his problem. So I had to listen to him ask me questions. But it was cute lol. Though I had my grandmother sitting on the other side of me doing the same things. It was great....I'm so sad it's over. Like, beyond sad. 14 years since the first book came out. I can't believe it! It's been such an epic adventure with Harry, Ron and Hermoine! As soon as I finish reading Forever (which is taking me FOREVER by the way) I plan on rereading all the books and watching the movies again! I have 1-7. Just need to get the last one when it comes out!

In other news, I rented Beastly from Redbox tonight. Can't wait to watch it! I thought the book was great. I'll be sure to let you know how it compares to the book once I watch it.

I can say that Harry Potter definitely followed the book this time very well. There were issues in the past, especially with Prisoner of Azkaban, but I definitely think splitting it into 2 parts was the best idea to finish the movie. It was amazing.The graphics were amazing. It was just, fantastic. If you haven't seen it yet, DO IT! I will say I think I cried the absolutely hardest when (START SPOILER ALERTS) Harry, Ron and Hermoine walk into the Great Hall after Voldermort calls off his troops and you see Fred, Remus and Tonks dead. It took everything I had not to start bawling. I actually pretty much started crying when Voldermort started casting the spell on the shield around Hogwarts. I just knew it was going to start after that. And when Harry "died". I mean I knew what was going to happen. But to see the total feeling abandonment shown on everyone's faces was just so sad. I bawled when Snape died too. Because I knew he was good. And I really cried during the memory too, showing how good Snape really was and especially when he was crying when he saw Lily's dead body on the floor in front of Harry's crib. That scene was just so powerful. It was so sad but it was amazing. (END SPOILER ALERTS). Overall the movie was amazing and I can't wait to read all the books and watch all the movies again!
UPDATE: Has anyone else seen this? Cause I have not and now I want to know MORE!

Until Next Time!

Hunger Games!

Okay first off, no this is not a review. I am just genuinely over the moon excited about this. SO. Hunger Games Movie. Yes. I said it. Movie. Now I'm sure a lot of people already knew about this. But I didn't. But now I do. And the cast sounds awesome. Check it here: Down With the Capitol

Check out my countdown on the side! You can get your very own here!
Now. Josh Hutcherson is not exactly what I pictured Peeta looking like, but, I think he is a great actor and I definitely expect him to bring good things to the character. (EDIT: After looking at him again. And again. And AGAIN, I have decided I am thoroughly happy with him. He has the look. I'm beyond good with him!) I predict him playing it very well. And Woody Harrelson as Haymitch is just PERFECT! Oh and Stanley Tucci for Caeser Flickerman is pure genius! Jennifer Lawrence basically fits my idea of Katniss. What do you guys think? Do you like the cast? Wish someone was different? Ideas on a better cast? Overall I'm satisfied. Pretty big name actors, which is needed to get a good book movie to be seen, especially one this good (though Harry Potter had pretty  much all unknown actors. And Twilight...though Twilight does and still sucks [the movies, though I no longer like that series much of all anymore though I will still go see the last 2. At midnight.] monkeys).  I'm excited! Who is with me?!

Waiting on Wednesday (3)

Sorry guys! I know I haven't blogged in like a week. I feel terrible. But I was in Hershey all weekend and I've been busy working and stuff since I got home! Today is the first day I've been able to get to a computer (and its not even mine!)
So my WoW for the week is another no information one again! It is the 4th book in the Wings Series by Aprilynne Pike. Again, no title, no cover, no release date, no synopsis. I'm terrible but I cannot wait for this book to come out! I'm so excited! Especially since Illusions ended with such a big cliff hanger!
Until Next Time!
