I am a terrible procrastinator.
Srsly.
I should just call all other procrastinators and we can have like...a revolution or something.
I don't think that would really end all that well...it'd be more like:
"Procrastinator's UNITE. Tomorrow."
=.=;;
Moving on.
I've seen two more movies since my last update. As a result, I am now stark broke. Hmm.
The movies were Bride Wars and Underworld: Rise of the Lycans.
They were both pretty....nyeehh.
Especially Underworld. Nyeehh.
I'll post a review of the third book in the Twilight Series, Eclipse, asap but I have one week till school and still some homework left so it might take a while.
Yours in dutiful procrastination,
xoxo
p.s. ARGH i need cash!
p.p.s. OMG Fall Out Boy concert soon. *orgasm*
jacked this off Nat xD

Hello all,
I should probably be doing homework....
It isn't hard...there isn't even a lot of it...it's just...CBF ya know??
Today I am not here to post another review as such...
Instead I would like to admit to myself more that anybody the ridiculous amount of movies that I have seen.
*sigh*
*gulp*
Here goes:
- Quantum of Solace: Not bad. It was my first Bond film actually so that's over and done with. I like Daniel Craig. Even if his face does look like a prune. His eyes are purrty though. Lots of action and not really any romance although Bond is a man-slut so he did sleep with some chick who died. Tragic. I give it...about a 6.5/10. Above standard but not quite there.
- Twilight: Yeah ok I watched it. So what?? I was CURIOUS for crying out loud. It wasn't BAD really. The acting was OK (except for Kristen Bell eurgh I wanted to strangle her) but the special effects SUCKED. Like, really bad. To make it worse EVERYBODY in the cinema was having an orgasm in their seats as soon as the opening credits came on. This girl in front of me started yelling out I LOVE YOU EDWARD five million times and insisted that he would hear her better if she got up out of her seat to yell it out. By the 25454561st time I actually threw my (unfortunately empty) can of power drink at her and told her that he "CAN'T FUCKING HEAR YOU". She stopped after that. Victorious is me. I gave it a 3/10. I was being GENEROUS too.
- Big Stan: There are no words to describe this travesty of a movie. I CRIED after watching this. I CRIED for my lost brain cells and my wasted time and money. Rob Schneider...what happened?? I had to comfort myself by going home and watching The Hot Chick (2002). 0.5/10...it got less of a rating than TWILIGHT. Srsly.
- Madagascar: Escape 2 Africa: Seriously an awesome movie. It got a bit boring at times but overall it was pretty good. I actually didn't enjoy the first one as much believe it or not. But this one was really good. Coupled with the fact that we were a bunch of 17-year-olds in a movie for 4-10-year-olds and we were acting like major DICKS, it was a pretty fun watch. 7/10.
- Bedtime Stories: It was....meh. Not as bad as Zohan but not as good as something like Billy Madison or Happy Gilmore. Granted it was a movie for kids. But I expected it to be a bit more fun. I didn't want to LEAVE at any point during the movie which is good but it still didn't really....DO IT for me as an Adam Sandler film. I lost so much respect for him after Zohan but this KINDA earned some more...but it's still not like it used to be. 4/10
- Bolt (in 3D): Awesome. Just pure...awesome-ness. I loved it as much as I did Kung Fu Panda. Maybe even more and THAT'S saying something considering that a.) I really REALLY loved Kung Fu Panda and b.) I really REALLY hate Miley Cyrus. I was laughing throughout the whole thing, never a dull moment. Favourites of mine were the hamster who was totally FIERCE and the pidgeons in New York and L.A. Wow, I haven't laughed so hard in ages. This was really great. A great storyline that hasn't really been done before. Plus, the fact that I saw it in 3D didn't hurt it's chances. 8.5/10
- The Curious Case of Benjamin Button: I love movies like this. It was sorta like Forrest Gump all over again. Problem was I saw it with my teenage friends which can be fine if you were in there preparing to see a comedy. It was good fun with them but I still wanted to concentrate on the movie, which, surprisingly, I did. Really moving and unique. It makes me really happy to see that, despite what all the old people say, the magic of film today manages to go beyond Judd Apatow (Knocked Up (2007) and Superbad (2007)) to this masterpiece. What I liked about it was that it was just a story with heart and warmth that everybody had thought was lost a long time ago after Titanic (1997). It was a different kind of masterpiece than that of Nolan (The Dark Knight (2008)) or Jackson (The Lord of the Rings (2001-2003)). It reminded me of feel-good movies like Forrest Gump (1994). I really really enjoyed it, despite seeing it at like, 12am in the morning and receiving death glares from the rest of the movie-goers because of our antics. 9.5/10 (it lost half a mark because it DID get a bit boring at times)
- Role Models: Surprisingly a lot better than I thought it would be. It didn't have as much nudity as I'd begrudgingly expected only like two scens of boobs which isn't really nudity since it's nothing I haven't got anyway. Lots of swearing which isn't a problem but it wasn't BAD. Ya know? It was Knocked Up bad it was actually alright. It had a lot more meaning and point to it than all those other stupid movies which are just about drugs, alcohol and sex. Plus, it had two of my favourite actors in it like Sean William Scott (STIFFLER) nad Paul Rudd (Josh from Clueless (1995). God, how I love him. x}). It also had MCLOVIN in it which was a nice surprise. Although his character in this one was much more bearable. 6.5/10.
So there you go.....all my money wasting.
It's funny, cos now I have a free movie ticket and nothing to see.
Oh wait....there is Bride Wars.....we could drag the guys to that.....XP
Oh yeah....that's the plan now XP
xoxo

p.s. I think I'm going to go for a walk now. It IS about 35oC outside so I might die. Just letting you know in case I don't update in like...ever.
p.p.s I probably shoud do that homework huh?
Everybody scream...nnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnow

First of all,
a mighty big HOORAY for Heath Ledger (RIP) who about one hour ago received the Golden Globe for Best Supporting Actor in a Motion Picture for his work in the what-is-and-what-will-always-be the masterpiece known as The Dark Knight (2008).
Now onto business...
I feel the need to write more reviews about the rest of the Twilight series.
Note to S. Meyer (author...sorta): Please locate the nearest dictionary and look up the word saga as I don't think you understand what it means. kthnks.
Yes I have, I admit shamefully, read it. I was curious.
I know, I know, curiosity killed the cat. In this case it killed my brain.
So without further ado:
*shudder*
New Moon
*sigh*
*head desk*
*face palm*
OK that's about it.
Well, OK not really.
The book starts off with Bella and Edward's oh so fabulous relationship, which is obviously SMeyer's way of telling the rest of us pathetic little teenage girls without boyfriends- "Don't you wish you had this overbearing, controlling, egotistic male in your life 24/7?"
Which makes me LOL.
It's Bella's...18th? I can't be sure I'm too confused by some dream she had where she's an old fuddy duddy grandma and Edward is still there loving her long time. How romantic, right?
So now Bella's shit scared that, because she's turning 18, she will, quite obviously, look ridiculously older than her lover- er- excuse me I meant stalker.
At this point I'm SURE that Bella's got a serious case of the Stockholm Syndrome.
So anywho,
Bella whines about her dream for about15 pages before we get to her birthday party. The one that the Cullen's are throwing her.
awww.
After they give her a super-expensive gift that would probably make Charlie (her dad) wish they had gotten her a gift card or something and also showcases the incredible amount of materialism that this book promotes, Bella, who was, in the last "book", fainting at the sight of only a little drop of blood, manages to give herself a paper cut.
Actually it sounds as if she sliced half her arm off.
So, being the vampire that he is, Jasper (not Edward, he's too perfect to have such a flaw SHAME on you for thinking it) lunges at Bella who's all "OH!"
Yeah, kay.
So after Jasper is restrained Bella is taken into the kitchen to get sewn up.
OK:
- Since they have a human eating at their house now I don't think it's SAFE to be cleaning and stitching up a wound in the middle of the kitchen.
- Also, the kitchen has more germs and bacteria than the toilet seat. WOW Carlisle is one great doctor. After, all he HAS been doing this for over 100 years.
- Whilst, as I mentioned above, Bella fainted at the mere sight of blood in the last book, here, Bella sits through having her wound cleaned and stitched with only the rare can-you-spot-it wince.
After this terrible moment where Bella is, once again, in danger of losing her life (seriously at this point I don't think it would be such a bad thing to eliminate her from this world. It wouldn't benefit the rest of us to have someone with a brain like Bella Swan's around) Eddikins decides that "OH NO! MY FAMILY IS TOO DANGEROUS!! I'M TOO DANGEROUS!"
Actually...there is a clip that I reckon pretty much sums up their relationship:
http://au.youtube.com/watch?v=OgCQSIQ9UdI
Just replace: Wesley pretending to be Angel= Edward and Cordelia pretending to be Buffy= Bella.
srsly.
That's it in a nutshell.
Watch out for Wesley's line after Cordy says "Yes, Angel?" Perfect imitation of both Angel AND Edward.
Though I love Angel and despise Edward =D.
So Edward leaves and takes the clan with him to sunny L.A. Wow. Great choice.
Then to show us how long he's been gone, and how Bella is basically a walking coma patient, the next five or six pages are literally blank, besides telling us what month it is on each page.
I guess that's meant to symbolise the length of time without Edward. How devastating.
So Bella decides she wants a thrill ride and, of course, decides to get a motorbike. Since she's not Miss Money-bags, she gets some piece of shit that she takes to good buddy Jacob Black to fix up.
The story isn't too bad here as Jacob is actually an interesting character. His transformation into the werewolf sounds awesome and he turns into what I can assume is an ultra-hot 25-year-old looking 16-year old.
YAY
We meet the rest of the pack here and they're all cool and all. But really, there isn't much of an interesting story here because there is no Eddikins. Of course, Jacob is also in love with Bella although we have no idea why.
Seems all men of Forks were, at some point, dropped into a vad of toxic waste causing severe brain damage.
THEN Bella does what has to be the single most idiotic thing in the world and jumps of a cliff.
Hey, this book is looking up!
Srsly.
Of course, she does it because she's convinced she can hear Edward's voice in her head.
Unfortunately, Jacob saves her. Hmph. And to think I liked the guy!
After more meaningless drabble it seems that the shit has really hit the fan when Alice turns up (Edward's clairvoyant vamp sis) and informs Bella that Edward thinks she's dead, and has gone to Rome, of all places, to reveal himself to some kind of vampire mafia known as the Volturi, who have laws about revealing their kind to humans, which is what Eddy plans to do in order to get himself killed cos he just can't "live" without Bella.
Ew.
So Alice and Bella, (who apparently had never been out of the country before so I really don't understand how she got a passport so fast) fly to Italy to save Eddy.
They steal a car and drive to some village in Italy where Edward is about to reveal his BEAUTIFUL SPARKLING SKIN (LOL) to the world.
They stop him (DAMN) and here we meet more interesting characters that don't get much development, the Volturi.
Why is it always evil vampires that are the most interesting?
We meet little Jane who does some sort of mind whammy that's like the Cruciatus Curse (Harry Potter rip-off much?) and some other non-important people who, if they were to get development, would get in the way of Ed and Bella's fascinating relationship.
We meet the mafia-heads who are all sunshine-buttercups-and-rainbows before slaughtering a room full of innocent tourists whilst Alice and Ed do NOTHING TO HELP.
Oh and Bella is also immune to some other guys vamp powers as well as Alice's. We don't know why cos that would include SMeyer writing something worth reading and she is both physically and mentally incapable of doing so.
Duh.
They all head back to America where all is forgiven and Bella seems to have forgotten that he up and left her for a few months. She's also forgotten Jacob and the pack and what nice people they were and doesn't seem to understand why they don't want her around the leeches.
Props to the wolves for that term =D
So yeah.
OH i almost forgot.
Remember Victoria? That bad chick vamp who was James' (RIP) 'mate'.
Yeah she hates Bella.
And she's out for blood.
I like her. =]
ADIOS AMIGO'S!!
p.s. I have to start homework now so really you should feel honoured that I delayed that by like....an hour and a half. *serious face*
p.p.s. Some tween told me that Twilight had better special effects, dialogue and acting than the Dark Knight. I hit her. I don't think anyone saw.
