Summer Flics
I was just reading an article on Yahoo about movies coming out this summer and I chuckled. I am pumped for Iron Man 2 and Karate Kid. Mikey Rourke looks like a great villain in Iron Man 2 and I love Will Smith's son as the karate kid and Jakie Chan as Mr Miyagi. I also like the newer version of the A team starring Bradley Cooper, Jessica Biel and an appearance from UFC's Quinton "Rampage" Jackson. This should be an entertaining summer and a hot one at that! But what I am most excited for is the Best Worst Movie. I just watched the trailer and it was hysterical. It is based on the movie Troll 2 and how it was hated by so many but now 2o years after it was made people are re uniting and making it so popular. It's a twist and it may not sound funny the way I talk about it but do yourself a favor and watch the trailer.

Clash of the Titans
I have not yet seen a movie in 3d at Imax but I am definitely considering doing so after seeing the previews for Clash of the Titans. Warner Brothers brings an old fashion action story that we have all read or heard probably in elementary or middle school to life. Some of the monsters they have made in the movie look amazing almost frightening a 21 year old man like myself never mind what it might do to children. I always found the story of the Titans and the Greek god's to be very interesting, now that they have added they unbelievable graphics and animations to the story I am willing to spend the ten dollars or whatever it is to go watch it(probably more now!)

Creative Website haha
I just fell upon this great website that keeps me laughing for hours called textfromlastnight.com. This site lets viewers see what others have texted to some that is embarrising yet at the same time hilarious. Viewer then once reading the text get to decide if he or she who sent it had a good or bad night by voting on the comment. You may also comment about the situation. The website has become so popular with teens and college students that they have created their own application for the iphone/itouch by apple. I have always seen people leaving these hilarious messages to one another on facebook but never knew why they had a set of numbers with parentheses in front of them. This stands for the area code that the text was sent from. I suggest you take a look at this website it is worth a few laughs.

Process in making a production
I have never realized the process it takes to make a film production ranging from a commercial to a feature film. I watched a documentary on making a 30 second commercial and it took almost 3 days to shoot, just for around 6 or 7 shots. I am also in class this semester where you have to make your own 15 minute feature film by yourself. At first I thought no problem but this an extremely hard task to succeed at alone. I give tons of credit to all those underground producers and directors with hardly any money trying to succeed making a 90 minute movie. I now realize how hard it is to make anything today on Tv or in theaters but hey that is why people love making and watching them.

Toy Story 3
I was just reading on Yahoo that Pixar and Disney are planning on making a Toy Story 3. I was excited as a little kid to hear this news because I love the original Toy Story. I thought Pixar was very creative coming up with a concept that toys can actually come to life and have an adventure. I just watched the trailer for the third Toy Story and I was relieved that they kept Tom Hanks and Tim Allen as the voices of Buzz and Woody. Some movies when they go to a trilogy they sometimes do not keep the same actors. The plot for the third Toy Story is great the trailer alone had me laughing. Its about how Andy( the toys owner) is older now and is going off to college so he donates his toys to a daycare where they meet other old and used toys. I would love to see them put this movie in 3d on Imax.

Academy Awards
I enjoy this time of year with spring break going on especially kicking it off with the Academy Awards tonight. I love to see who will win best picture. I'm thinking that avatar will win but I would like to see hurt locker pull it off. That movie was shot extremely well and I was told that the director (Kathryn Bigelow) only used three cameras to film it. I like the combination of Alec Baldwin and Steve Martin as the two host, they play off of each other well. I just wonder how they feel cracking those jokes on the actors/actress there. The room is rather small and it must be somewhat awkward because I know the stars feel weird just by the look on their faces.

Blog spot
Since starting this blog on blogpsot.com I have noticed more and more people actually use and have a blog on this website. I follow a few of my friends on here as long with some classmates. I recently heard in a song by Drake, a new up and coming rap and R and B artist, shouts out his blog on here (octobersown.blogspot.com). I was surprised to hear that he has a blog on here as well as the rest of his group. Just by going on and searching on twitter as well I found many celebrities but it was hard to decipher if it was really them leaving feeds or not. These are great ways to keep in touch with your favorite celebs or even just some of your friends that you do not see to often if you live up at school.
