I've just finished the Twilight series!
I only started the first book on Tuesday and have managed to read every book each day! I am so obsessed with this series that I am doing something I have never done before.... EVER (not even for Harry Potter!!).... I'm reading them again straight away!!
I love this movie!!! I can't wait for the rest to come out. I want to see them NOW!!!
I wanted so much to read the book before I saw the movie, but my friend had lent them to someone else - they must be the slowest reader in the world!!!
I am going to start the books tonight, but I've already cheated... I looked on Wikipedia, so I sort of know what happens, but I don't care! I'm still going to read them all!
Plot: Bella Swan has always been a little bit different. Never one to run with the crowd, Bella never cared about fitting in with the trendy, plastic girls at her Phoenix, Arizona high school. When her mother remarried and sent Bella to live with her father in the rainy little town of Forks, Washington, she didn't expect much of anything to change. But things do change when she meets the mysterious and dazzlingly beautiful Edward Cullen. For Edward is nothing like any boy she's ever met. He's nothing like anyone she's ever met, period. He's intelligent and witty, and he seems to see straight into her soul. In no time at all, they are swept up in a passionate and decidedly unorthodox romance, unorthodox because Edward really isn't like the other boys. He can run faster than a mountain lion. He can stop a moving car with his bare hands. Oh, and he hasn't aged since 1918. Like all vampires, he's immortal but doesn't drink human blood, though Edward and his family are unique among vampires in that lifestyle choice.
I caught up with Chook to go see this today because we wanted to avoid the heat.
The 3D effects were no where near as cool as they were when I saw Journey to the Centre of the Earth, but the movie itself was good. We had to put a deposit down on the glasses! We both enjoyed it and there were laughs throughout.
Plot: For super-dog BOLT, every day is filled with adventure, danger and intrigue – at least until the cameras stop rolling. When the canine star of a hit TV show is accidentally shipped from his Hollywood soundstage to New York City, he begins his biggest adventure yet – a cross-country journey through the real world. Armed only with the delusions that all his amazing feats and powers are real, and with the help of two unlikely travelling companions – a jaded, abandoned housecat named Mittens, and TV-obsessed hamster in a plastic ball named Rhino – Bolt discovers he doesn’t need superpowers to be a hero.
I enjoyed the first one of the when it came out & was waiting for the sequel
The transition from Madagascar to Africa is fast paced and easy for kids to miss, but I enjoyed as much as I did the first one.
Plot: Alex, Marty, Melman, Gloria, King Julien, Maurice and the penguins and the chimps find themselves marooned on the distant shores of Madagascar. In the face of this obstacle, the New Yorkers have hatched a plan so crazy it just might work. With military precision, the penguins have repaired an old crashed plane, sort of. Once aloft, this unlikely crew stays airborne just long enough to make it to the wildest place of all, the vast plains of Africa, where the members of our zoo-raised crew encounter species of their own kind for the very first time. Africa seems like a great place…but is it better than their Central Park home?
My girlfriends and I had organised months ago to go and see this together when it finally came out. I had no idea what it was about and only just started the book on Monday and finished it yesterday.
You laugh and cry throughout the book and the same is said of the movie. My friends were flat out crying - one had even left about 15 minutes before the end to have a cigarette so that she could cope. I was both laughing at them because they had the full on sniffles, and tearing up because of the sadness of the scene.
A must see for all the animal lovers, especially dog lovers out there.
