Toy Story 3

Toy Story 3

Reviewed by: awesomeVia, 17
Rating: It was amazing!


Many say that sequels usually can't live up to the greatness of the first movie but not in this case. Toy Story 3 maintains the greatness that Toy Story 1 and 2 brought. It has something for everyone of all ages.

The main theme of this movie is betrayal and friendship, different of the last two. And some parts can get pretty scary.Who would've thought a group of toys can teach you so much? But despite the sadness and scariness, there's still some funniness in there. And this movie overall is a great way to end the trilogy. Also worth the best animated feature Oscar.

Rating: It was amazing!


Much of the action takes place on a battlefield akin to Iraq — where innocent civilians are murdered to further a cause and each side resorts to unsavory tactics that could lead to a terrorist label. More maudlin than the first two books in the series, "Mockingjay" is also the most violent and bloody and, based on the actions and statements of its characters, its most overtly antiwar — though not so much that it distracts from a series conclusion that is nearly as shocking, and certainly every bit as original and thought provoking, as "The Hunger Games." This book is a must read along with the rest of the series!

Speak is powerful. Anderson's use of symbolism is brilliant and fills the pages with many ideas for the reader. The protagonist is fourteen years of age, which suggests that the novel is appropriate for anyone aged 12 and up. Although it is written for a young adult audience, adults should also find this novel unforgettable for its honest portrayal of life in an American high school. Every individual has had to face the reality of cliques. Unfortunately, many adult women can also relate to issues associated with teen rape and violence. It reminds both the young and the not so young that in order to live, everyone needs to have a voice and speak.

Holes


By: Louis Sachar
Reviewed by: Szoghi, 17
Rating: It was amazing!
This book, also turned into a movie, is definitely a classic. It is about a boy, Stanley Yelnats, who is sent to a juvenile detention camp for a crime that he did not commit. At this camp, they are under strict orders to build holes in this vast desert. Stanley finds out that they aren't digging holes just to "build character," but rather, to find a treasure that belonged to his great grandfather. However, Stanley and his friend, Hector, escape the camp, only to return a week later in search for the treasure. I highly recommend reading the book first, and then watching the movie, since the book is far more detailed. It is a very heartwarming story, since the kids become successful in the end, and the antagonistic warden goes to jail. This was one of the best books I read in elementary school.

The book is about a dwarf, Bilbo Baggins, who is recruited by the wizard, Gandalf, to return the stolen treasure that belongs to the Dwarves. They encounter many foes, such as trolls, spiders, and yes, Gollum. Bilbo, being left behind by his fellow comrades, finds a golden ring on his way out of the cave. This ring turns him invisible, which is important in the story because it is what he uses to escape from almost every foe in order to save his men. They eventually reach the mountain with the treasure where the great dragon Smaug lives at. One of the archers hears Smaug talk about a weak spot in his armor, which causes his defeat. Although I read this book for the first time in fifth grade, I don't recommend it for that young if you want to try and grasp the concept of the story. Also, there is a video game of this book, which is actually somewhat fun to play. Overall, it was a good book to read.

New Moon

New Moon

Rating: It was amazing!

New Moon is the sequel to Stephenie Meyer’s remarkably good debut novel Twilight. This novel works well enough as a stand alone but I think that you will get a better understanding of the story and maximum enjoyment from reading it if you have read Twilight first.

New Moon is always going to be compared to Twilight and people who are expecting this novel to be essentially the same as Twilight may be disappointed. Twilight had an almost dreamy, fairytale quality to the writing, which this story lacks. The Cullen family of vampires are also absent from a large proportion of New Moon, and vampire fans may keenly feel their absence. Do not let this put you off reading the book however because it is still one of the best books that I have read this year.

I decided to read the books before the show because most of the time the books are better. As i was reading the book i couldn't resist watching the show too. The book is definitely better and more detailed, but of course they can't fit every detail in the show. I recommend you read the books first or as you watch the show because there are tiny little things not explained in the show that the book does. You will also find differences but its not a big deal. The book really sucks you in and you just want to keep reading chapter after chapter. The first couple of pages aren't that great but doesnt that happen when you start to read a new book? So much drama and so many secrets, and 1 person can ruin it all for the 4 friends. Who is this person? and how does this person know these things? i just want to figure out who this person is!

I was looking forward to this move simply because it had Seth Rogen, a comedic I tend to like, and it was a superhero movie. I was sorely disappointed, and the most positive thing I got from it was a good long laugh in some scenes.

The vulgarity was completely senseless. Several uses of the 's word', b-lls, the male 'b word', and etc. There was no substance in the dialogue, and in most parts the swearing is just completely out of place.

I fell asleep towards the middle of this movie, the action was mostly summarized in music-over shots, and the action that was seen was not all that spectacular.

It was bearable, but not really enjoyable.

I have just begun to get CDs from my library, and so far they've all been pretty nice. This once, though, is one of my favorites.

I generally listen to a playlist of mix-and-match music, hardly ever listen to anything from just one artist, but this CD was very nice altogether.

The music is very upbeat and whimsical, with songs like 'Cave In' and 'Umbrella Beach'. It has a mellow undertone, with 'Meteor Shower' and 'Vanilla Twilight' as well.

The songs have a lot of meaning, if you get past the playful sounding music and listen to the lyrics, there are a lot of true-to-life topics spoken about. I won't get into detailed meanings, because they will most likely differ from person-to-person.  

I really enjoyed the CD in its entirety. Its been on replay at least a dozen times!

This CD was the first that I had listened to from Coldplay, and I chose it because it had one of my favorite songs (Chinese Sleep Chant) and a few others that I was familiar with (Viva La Vida, Strawberry Swing).

I was expecting this CD to be very upbeat, like most of the Coldplay songs I had heard before, and I was unaware of the additional title (Death and All His Friends) and didn't assume form that that it would have a slight darker aspect to it.

I really liked the CD, anyway, even though a couple of the songs sound depressing. The theme behind the music is Life and Death. One could also say it's about rebirth, or starting anew.

Lost! is about hope, Cemeteries of London and Death & All His Friends are both about sorrow and loss. The songs contrast one another, some are dark, and others are very light.

I did enjoy some songs more than others, but they fit together well when you look at the theme. All in all, it was a good CD.

I loved this Disney version of Rapunzel also know as Tangled. The movie made me laugh so hard that I almost fell off my couch and also it was so cute too. Also the way the story was told was funny too. The romance between Flynn and Rapunzel is very sweet and funny. The antagonist, Mother Gothel is absolutely the character you'd want to hate.


Here's how the story goes [SPOILER ALERT]. Rapunzel was born to a royal family and because some old lady was mad that they took her precious flower of youth, she kidnapped the royal child and kept her powerful hair to herself. Every year her parents would release lanterns on her birthday in hopes that she will notice and will hopefully come back. Then almost 18 years later, Rapunzel live with mother Gothel and she is locked up in a tower and has surprisingly long hair. She wants freedom, Mother says NO. She then gets Mother to go on a long trip and during the trip meets a handsome guy named Flynn who is a royal robber guilty for his own actions. They both eventually fall in love and alls well that ends well, happily ever after. Also towards the end, Rapunzel looks very much like Mandy Moore (who consequently voices Rapunzel) in her earlier days with shorter hair. And surprisingly, Zachary Levi (guy who voices Flynn and was in TV series Chuck), has amazing singing talent.


So I would totally recommend this movie to EVERYONE. No joke.

Brave New World

Rating: It was alright...



Overall, I thought the book was interesting, more interesting than many classics I have read before. It portrays a dystopia of a world where promiscuity is esteemed, "ending is better than mending", and truth is over happiness. Basically it's a world where everyone gets whatever they want and are programmed to be happy with what they are. The society is pretty much like totalitarianism and communism.
The plot is very interesting with at first talking about the lifestyle and culture of the World State and then about some romances that occur internally in the World State and then about the Director's weakness and the Savage's (outside world) encounter with the World State leading to an ultimate breakdown in the end.
So I would only recommend this book to certain people, especially ones that are open-minded and argumentative. This book has ben known to be controversial and has been on the banned books list.

This is another one of those books that I have read that didn't make me fall asleep. I kind of like this book because it took place in one of my favorite eras in history, the Roaring '20s.


I find Gatsby to be a very mysterious man and Daisy to be a bit of a heartbreaker. Nick the narrator was just observant and nothing too much in particular.

I liked the main theme being the American dream and of how Gatsby did almost everything to get Daisy -and even used Daisy as his motivation to succeed: going from farm boy in the midwest to a guy owning a mansion in the West Egg and holding lavish parties- to like him and etcetera but the sad thing is that she is already married and doesn't have the best morals. She freaking broke his heart. Oh what guys would do for a pretty girl. And many do say that Gatsby is just obsessed.

Otherwise, I find this book decent.

However, since there's a mutiny, he is thrown out into a land of the horses. He is treated nicely since he has learned the language, but is eventually banished since he resembles the enemies.

This story is based on the epic, Beowulf, but with a certain twist. It is told from the enemies point of view. Rather than a despicable monster, the enemy, Grendel, is seen as a capable and isolated individual. Grendel becomes corrupted about his view of humans when he visits a dragon for some advice, who claims all morals are pointless. Eventually, the Geats, led by Beowulf, come to defeat Grendel. When Grendel tries to attack someone, Beowulf surprises Grendel, and rips his arm off. Then, Grendel disappears. This story seems to be a satire of humanity in general, particularly the Anglo-Saxon civilization. This is a fairly long story. Also, I had trouble staying focused and engaged in this book. Overall, it's not a decent book, but I only recommend it to people who have some extra time on their hands.

We had to read this book in my English class during the year. It was by far one of the worst things I have ever read. Although some people enjoy and appreciate the way Chaucer managed to incorporate and weave the character's stories together, I wasn't too impressed by the boring stories he told. It is about a company of twenty nine pilgrims, who meet at a tavern, and will travel to Canterbury. The author discusses the stories of these characters, which are extraordinarily boorish in my opinion. In summation, I would not recommend this book to anyone, unless they are becoming an English major in college and need something to wrack their brains with.

This epic was written in old English around the 9th century. Although it is very long, it is actually a very interesting thing to read. I enjoyed this piece primarily because of the style that it was written. It has a good amount of violence, yet not too much to take away form the main theme of the piece. It begins by talking about a King Hrothgar, who creates a mead hall because he has a successful empire. Many soldiers come to the mead hall and get drunk. However, an evil creature, Grendel, comes and kills the soldiers when they are drunk. They send in Beowulf to come defeat the evil Grendel. Unarmed, Beowulf fights Grendel and defeats him. The themes, such as courage and pride, are very important because it parallels the personality of the main character, Beowulf. This was actually a fun read, and although it is a bit gory, I recommend it to all high school and college students.

This book is actually an interesting book to read. I recommend reading a little bit about the Salem Witch trials in order to have some background information on the story. During the time period, there was a mass hysteria about witchcraft, which led to the accusations of many people, some of which were executed. In this story, a group of girls, led by Abigail Williams, pretend to be victims of witchcraft, and so they accuse many people they don't like of being witches. The town, stricken with fear, executes many of these innocent beings. One of the characters, John Proctor, has had a dalliance with Abigail before. Thus, out of jealousy of John's wife Elizabeth, Abigail accuses her of witchcraft. They go into a trial, in which John, his wife, and many others are executed. My response to this book is ambiguous because although it is very interesting, I become frustrated since every leader and judge is so incompetent and just blindly executes people.

Rating: Really Like It

I read this book for school in the 7th or 8th grade, and I really liked it. It was interesting and it was straighforward, even though it used satire to get its point across. I wasn't looking forward to reading it, because I didn't read things that weren't fatasy-fiction or crime & mystery novels. We learned about Joseph Stalin, Adolf Hitler, and a few other men who had a great impact on what went on in those times. The book was placed in those times, but the morals and points that it made still ring true today.

The entire book is really a metaphor of sorts. Its political satire, after all. On the 'Animal Farm', the animals could speak and understand English. They do not like men, as in humanty in general, and in the beginning of the book the lead animal (Major, a boar) even goes so far as to refer to them as parasites. In this meeting, he also teaches the other animals a song entitled "The Beasts of England".

When Major passes, two of the younger pigs take their reign of command. Turning all that he has taught them, animals leading animals and the likes, into a philosophy. And they created the "Seven Commandments of Animalism".

1. Whatever goes upon two legs is an enemy.
2. Whatever goes upon four legs, or has wings, is a friend.
3. No animal shall wear clothes.
4. No animal shall sleep in a bed.
5. No animal shall drink alcohol.
6. No animal shall kill any other animal.
7. All animals are equal.

The most notable are numbers 3 - 7. Those most closely relate to those of humans. They are against humans, so they shall not dress, or drink, or kill, or even sleep on a man-made bed. And finally, all are created equal. Just like our amendments say.

But later in the book, these rules are edited by the newly appointed, and corrupted, leaders. These rules are changed to suit them, so they may be more human, without breaing accused of breaking the laws.

No animal shall sleep in a bed [with sheets].
No animal shall drink alcohol [to excess].
No animal shall kill any other animal [without cause].

This book is very interesting, and I think reading it gave me a better understanding of the power of words, and the troubles of having power. As Napolean and Squealer (the corrupted leaders) show, absolute power changes a man- Or animal.

Although this book was called a masterpiece by many critics, I believe it isn't for any ordinary reader. First off, this book parallels the era of Joseph Stalin before World War 2.

This book is about a few pigs who take over and lead the animals who live in the farm. They establish 7 principles to follow. However, the corruption and competition between the leaders leads to the ultimate rise of the character, Napoleon. Eventually, those principles turn into one principle, "All animals are equal, but some animals are more equal than others." Personally, I had trouble staying engaged in this book because it was so boring. However, I do recommend everyone reads this at least once in their lifetime since it's very interesting.
