A New Blog for Writing

I have made another, new blog for the stories and other writings I have done, in order to have them in one place. I don't intend to put any more stories on this blog, since they are too long, but I will be keeping this one for events and other things. My blog is called A Compilation of Beginnings and I hope you come and visit it every once in a while to see what I have written. =)

Sherlock Homes 2: Game of Shadows

I give this movie a 4/5 stars.

So I went with my friends to see this movie, even though I haven't seen the first one. It is a very intriguing plot, that explains itself well, but doesn't give the ending away. It was also artistic in its execution, with changing speeds, perspectives, and well-made sets. I liked the characterization, and Holmes and Watson made me laugh so many times. It was very action-packed, and intense. My favorite part was when Watson is getting shot at by a sniper, and he gets hold of a cannon. =) One of the only problems I had with the movie was that the perspective was really strange at parts, which made my eyes go weird (I don't know how else to explain it), and it would distract from the movie. There was also a considerable amount of death and violence. Overall though, I enjoyed it.
The ending was incredible.

Don't Drink The Water

Today I went down to my cousin's house to see the play she was in, called "Don't Drink the Water." Set in Germany during the time of the Berlin Wall, it is about this family that gets trapped in the U.S. Embassy (because they are mistakenly thought to be spies). It is very humorous, and I enjoyed it a lot, even though there wasn't a very large audience. My cousin was the Countess Bourdoni, and she was so pretty! The actors/actresses did a very good job with their parts. There were definitely some winner lines as well. =)

The Secret World of Arriety

I give this movie a 4.2/ 5 stars

So today I went and saw "The Secret World of Arrietty" with my friends. It was so cute! I am a big fan of Studio Ghibli, and I thought this movie was well done. There were a couple of overly cheesey lines, but it was overall a good movie.

It is about little people who live in human households, and "borrow" things they need, that wouldn't be noticed if they were gone. It is based off of a book apparently, and there is another movie that came out a while ago called "The Borrowers" (which my family owns, actually).

Anyway, I recommend everyone to watch it, it's a good movie.

Sister's Engagement!

My sister got engaged today! They are so cute together, and are a perfect example of True Love. =) I am excited for their wedding sometime in the Spring!
