Holiday Cheer.

The Perks Of Being A Wallflower Review

I have to admit, I was dying to see this movie the day it came out. There was something that attracted me to it, the 3 strong leading roles, the imperfect perfect story, the amazing development of the characters. Also the fact that the book was so highly appraised.

I ended up seeing the movie a week later with huge fans of the books. This movie is about a depressed teenager who meets 2 seinors that welcome him into their world. Its an amazing story of love,friendship and being true to yourself.

I really enjoyed the cinematography in this movie.The shots were very visually appealing and the lighting really conveyed the emoition of the show-bittersweet. I have to warn you, this isent just a story of friendship, its not all happy. But thats what makes it different from the other movies.

The acting was increadible. All the characters had such a great devolopment, and Logan Lerman blew me away with his acting of the main character, something better than his Percy Jackson days. Emma Watson was such a great Sam, and I coulden't imagine anyone else to play that role. Ezra Miller was so great in his role as Paterick. He conveyed it with so music emoition.

The part of this movie that I most enjoyed was its realism. Friendship isen't all happy, there are always rough points in it. Lots of movies fail to convey life from the perspective of the wallflower. This movie shows that life isen't clean. There are some really bad things that happen in life and you have to stand up and be the better person to get out of a rough time. It also shows how much friends and having people can help you. Flawless. A

Perfect Gifts

You people probably know that I am a full on camera nerd, but since the holiday season is coming around I thought I would post some unique smart ideas for things that I found as gifts online. These are so perfect and cool.

Pitch Perfect Review

Pitch Perfect just sort of showed up. All of a sudden I saw the trailer on tv, ads and everything promoting it everywhere. I didn't even know what it was before it was out. All I knew is I had to see it. Pitch Perfect completely lived up to my expectations.

Pitch Perfect is about a girl named Beca who arrives in College, one problem: she doesn't even want to be there. She would rather be mixing tracks in hollywood. One day she gets caught singing by the Bella's and they insist she try out for the Bella's a group of singers that don't use instruments, just their mouths to sing.

I think what I enjoyed most about the movie was the character development. I think every character was a really good character. I especially loved Rebel Wilson's character, fat Amy. She was the character that gave the film its soul, because of her hilarious and one of a kind personality. 99.9 % of my laughing came from something her character did or said.

The music was really well done in this movie. Every song that they performed in this movie was very well covered by the Bella's and I was impressed, very impressed by their final performance. I think they mixed the tracks perfectly together.

In conclusion, Pitch Perfect was a wonderful, hilarious, and soulful movie. I would recommend it to anyone!!! A-

Creation, blank spaces, and imaginary friends of the sleep deprived mind

So this is some writing that one of my best friends did. Her name is Sanam, and this got into the school magazine. It is truly amazing, with her permission I want to share it with you guys. I just love the style of writing, its just amazing from the point of view that she is writing from. Here it is!

Enjoy! 

:

It won’t go away. That stupid buzz in my head. That annoying critter that tickles my brain. That…that hole in my mind. No, I don’t think sleeping will help. Sleep is a waste of time.

WHY CAN’T I THINK OF ANYTHING, DAMNIT?! (Sorry, got all street there).

My mind is completely blank and clueless. A dull light looking for somewhere dark to illuminate. Why won’t my light bulb go off? No, I don’t need sleep, I told you that already! What I need is a stroke of inspiration, that colorful bomb, that… creativity. Can you think of anything? I know, it’s hard. That’s what I’ve been trying to tell you .Here, make yourself useful, and sharpen these pencils. I’m going to need them when I finally think of something.

My mind won’t stop that buzz! It’s getting louder. It’s like a boring straight line, because it’s not going anywhere but straight. Why is everything so dull and gray? I’m so sleepy… no, I don’t want a pillow. Wait…

BA-BAM.

Scratch scratch scratch goes my pen. My mind is imploding. Lights, colors, pictures, words, ideas, inventions, thoughts, sounds, EVERYTHING I WAS WAITING FOR. 

Creation. I’m dizzy with so much creation.

(Isn’t it funny what seems to go on when I think? I think words but I seem to think of them before I think of them. Such a complicated thing to explain. That doesn’t make sense, you say? Well guess what? I don’t give a frying pan.)

My letters flow into words, my words to sentences, my sentences to paragraphs, to pages, to a book… to a master piece. Yeah, that’s what I said… don’t question it.

I wish people understood I’m not weird. I’m not odd. I’m different, and I want to make it known, so I do whatever I want. No, that does not make me impulsive. More like… yeah, I’m impulsive. Chuckle.

I make the page different by… creating. I make the blank space another beautiful space. Another thing to add to that star that is collapsing under its own mass. Yes, I am talking about black holes. No, you stop being so scientific!

I will be. Different, I mean. Definitely. What? Naw, just thinking to myself.

Creating.

I say that a lot, don’t I? You think so? Doesn’t matter. Repetition isn’t important. As long as it counts.

I’m not making sense, am I? You don’t care? Well.

Anyway, will you help me? Take a seat. Pull up a chair. Grab a cuppa java. Some biscuits too, while you’re at it. The strawberry ones, if you please. Yes, those.

Thank you. Yum. That’s better.

So what do you think of this? Is it nice? Is it different? Oh… so that’s how you spell acquiesce.

Thank you once again, imaginary friend. Yes, I will sleep now.

See you tomorrow.
