Spirited Away is an animated film. The film's theme speaks without words. Like what John Lasseter says, "You are so lucky to get to see this film." Spirited Away is truly a magical film about a young girl, Chihiro, a selfish young girl, who finds herself stuck in the Spirit world and finds work in a bathhouse for spirits to cleanse their soul. Along with her work, she matures and develop a beautiful character.

Although the running time of the film may require some patience, Spirited Away is a really wonderful film, and familes will love it. This film will live in your heart.

She disguises herself as "Claudia Miller" and begins her acting. She soon finds out it is harder to live a normal life without telling anyone how you feel or the truth.

This book is a twist on the classic fairy tale Snow White. Jessica, or Snow, escapes to London before her stepmother could kill her. She meets some strange creatures and learns to live with them. She is then tricked into meeting her stepmother and thus falls into a sleep. Her friends need to find a way to wake her and the normal "kiss" won't work. I thought this was a cool and interesting way to perceive the story.

Howl's Moving Castle

The truth is. I have yet to read the actual book. But I have seen this film. The film, Howl's Moving Castle, was directed by Studio Ghibli's legendary Hayao Miyazaki and produced by Toshio Suzuki. Howl's Moving Castle is a book and also an animated film.

It is about a girl, Sophie, who meets a wizard, Howl. Because of her encounter with Howl, the Witch of the Waste-jealous- casts a spell on Sophie which turns her into an old lady. Sophie's spell won't let her tell anyone about it, and even the Witch does not know how to break it. From there, Sophie travels to the Waste to find a way to break her spell. On a hill in the Waste, Sophie finds a stick in a nearby bush, thinking it would be a good cane to use. However, when she takes it out, it turns out to be a scarecrow, which she calls Mr.Turniphead. Later she asks Turniphead to find a place for her to stay. Ironically, Howl's Moving Castle appears, and thus the story and characters grow.

Howl's Moving Castle is a wonderful film...and I, personally, think that it is so romantic. It is an eye-opener.

Death Note: Another Note: The L.A. B.B. Murder Cases

Death Note: Another Note

The L.A. B.B. Murder Cases was better than amazing. It was wickedly AMAZING!!!

Well, first off...it is better to have a bit of backround information about Death Note. Death Note actually began as a manga and later to an anime series, and there are even three live action films of Death Note. The original Death Note was about the Kira cases about a boy named Light who stumbled across a Death Note notebook and he also met a Death God(because light had his notebook). The Death Note can kill a person if you write someone's name on it. Because there were so many deaths later, the detective L decided that he would solve this case and find out who was killing all these people. However, this plot of the original Death Note has nothing to do with the Kira cases. In fact, it was before the Kira cases.

Raised from the Wammy House, Beyond Birthday--also"B"--challenges L-smart detective-. The challenge is whether or not L can catch B before the next person he murders. He leaves clues to the next crime scene, which the clues are the unthinkable.

That's all the information I can leak. It's so good! I love this book so much. It's only about 100 pages--which was so uncool--but the book was so awesome. It was so good, my eyes were glued to it all night. So good that it scared me. It's a thriller.

Rating: It was alright...


The theme is the only good part of the story. In order to catch the theme, you have to read the whole book. And I had to read it for a school assignment. Although it's only about 100 pages I felt like it wouldn't end. But it's really not a hard book to read. It's about how animals are treated badly by humans, and the animals rebel and believe they can live better off themselves. Then again...aren't humans also animals?

Do you like cassetes? Well, this book revolves around a set of cassetes that will blow your mind how a person can plan a death with such careful reasons. In the cassetes are 13 reasons why Hannah Baker killed herself, and Clay is wondering why he is responsible for her death. All he has to do is listen to the cassetes to hear when his name comes up. But when? This book is quite interesting. It's not like any of the books we have to read for school assignments.
