Summary

“Despite super effects, a huge budget, and the cinematic pedigree of alien-happy Steven Spielberg, this take on H.G. Wells’s novel is basically a horror film packaged as a sci-fi thrill ride. Instead of a mad slasher, however, Spielberg (along with writers Josh Friedman & David Koepp) utilizes aliens hell-bent on quickly destroying humanity, and the terrifying results that prey upon adult fears, especially in the post-9/11 world. The realistic results could be a new genre, the grim popcorn thriller; often you feel like you’re watching Schindler’s List more than Spielberg’s other thrill-machine movies (Jaws, Jurassic Park). The film centers on Ray Ferrier, a divorced father (Tom Cruise, oh so comfortable) who witnesses one giant craft destroy his New Jersey town and soon is on the road with his teen son (Justin Chatwin) and preteen daughter (Dakota Fanning) in tow, trying to keep ahead of the invasion. The film is, of course, impeccably designed and produced by Spielberg’s usual crew of A-class talent. The aliens are genuinely scary, even when the film–like the novel–spends a good chunk of time in a basement. Readers of the book (or viewers of the deft 1953 adaptation) will note the variation of whom and how the aliens come to Earth, which poses some logistical problems. The film opens and closes with narration from the novel read by Morgan Freeman, but Spielberg could have adapted Orson Welles’s words from the famous Halloween Eve 1938 radio broadcast: “We couldn’t soap all your windows and steal all your garden gates by tomorrow night, so we did the best next thing: we annihilated the world.”

Review

This movie was really good but pretty creepy. There was a lot of blood in this movie. I don’t mean blood like people got decapitated but the creatures machines would suck the blood out of you and then later you would see the machines expel large amounts of blood and there would be pools of blood all over the place. Quite disconcerting and quite creepy too. If your don’t like this type of thing, this movie may not be suited for you.

There was no good role modeling in this movie. Ray Ferrier was a very irresponsible dad. In the beginning he called his son all types of things. As the movie progressed he seemed to change and be more responsible because he realized if he did not buck up his ideas when he was going to die, along with his children and I don’t think he wanted that.

The acting in this movie was done really well. Dakota Fanning and Justin Chatwin both played the annoying and non-listening children. I got so annoyed with the children and the dad because the dad did nothing to make the children to shut up. But it probably portrayed a typical American family :).

This movie was filmed with a kind of tinge. I am not sure what the tinge was but it seemed to be a metallic, green, gray tinge to it which added to this surreal effect. It was quit an interesting idea because then it put everything kind of not in the present. It was showing that it was set a few years back.

Also the aliens were pretty creepy and the machines were creepy too. They were really big and they had these like tractor beams which disintegrated your body and pulled it up to the machine but left your clothes behind and Ray was eventually covered in body bits even though it was never explicitly mentioned, you got the idea. I am actually not sure if the beam pulled you up or just disintegrated you on the spot But don’t really want to know.

I think that this movie was done really well and is a definite see, but I recommend to be over the age of 14/15 because it was pretty creepy.

It was exciting though and definitely a classic which everyone should see at least once. I will be reading the book really soon and watching the original War of the Worlds which I am excited about. 🙂

Check out CommonSenseMedia.org’s review of the movie as it has more information. I just want to warn you though that CommonSense does sometimes give spoilers because they say what is said and everything which is seen. But there are no spoiler warnings on their sites.

I hope that you enjoy.

 

She’s So Dead to Us by Kieran Scott

 in Book Reviews / Books / Young Adult by

Summary

“Perfect, picturesque Orchard Hill. It was the last thing Ally Ryan saw in the rearview mirror as her mother drove them out of town and away from the shame of the scandal her father caused when his hedge fund went south and practically bankrupted all their friends. Now, two years later, Ally’s mother has landed a job back at the site of their downfall, and they’re not exactly receiving a warm welcome. One bright spot, however, is gorgeous, intense Jake Graydon. But it won’t be easy for Ally to be with him—not if his friends (her former friends) have anything to say about it. Ally was hoping to have left all the drama in the past, but some things just can’t be forgotten….”

Review

This book was completely different from I thought it would be. I thought it would be more mushy mushy and more romance, but there was a whole lot more then that. The author, Kieran Scott, made the reader feel many different emotions. My main emotion was anger because of everything which Ally had to go though and how her friends were such jerks. But this book was so good. I finished it in less than a week and I am about to start the next one in the series, He’s So Not Worth It.

This was definitely a YA book because there was drinking and some bad language, but that is expected. I would recommend this book for anyone over the age of 14 because of some of the things which happened. This was definitely not a good role model book though because of everything happening due to Ally’s father, but this book was good anyway so it is still a definite read.

The story was set in modern-day and the sentences were not what I would call challenging so it was what I would consider an easy read – 304 pgs with quite big print. Nothing which a teen could not handle.

Kieran Scott does have pen names so you may have read other books by her. She ask goes by Kate Brian and Emma Harrison. She wrote the Cheerleader Trilogy and the He’s So/She’s So Trilogy which this book is the first one of.

This was a great book and I will be checking out some other books by this author under all of her pen names. Hope that you check out some of her pieces of writing.

X-Men Origins: Wolverine (2009)

 in Adventure / Movies / Young Adult by

Starring

Hugh Jackman – Logan/Wolverine
Liev Schrieber – Victor Creed
Danny Huston – Stryker
Will i am – John Wraith

Summary

“Heroic Hugh Jackman “breathes the fire into Wolverine” (Miami Herald) — with a vengeance! This pulse-pounding action thriller sinks razor-sharp adamantium claws into the mysterious origins of Logan/Wolverine: his epically violent and romantic past, his complex relationship with Victor Creed/Sabretooth (Liev Schreiber), and the ominous Weapon X program that unleashes his primal fury. Along the way, Wolverine also encounters legendary new mutants, including Deadpool (Ryan Reynolds) and Gambit (Taylor Kitsch). You’ll go “berserker” for this deeper, darker, more-spectacular-than-ever chapter of the X-Men saga!”

– Editorial from Amazon.com

Review

This was an interesting movie. Very entertaining, but wow was there a lot of violence. Like I mean a lot. In the first 20-25 minutes of the movie, the body count was through the roof. There was no blood and you never really saw the bodies, but you knew that they were dead. But the mutants were shot constantly and beaten up and hurt, but since they were mutants, they could not be killed or injured that badly. They would heal right up.

The movie did have its funny moments. Hugh Jackman really took on the role of Wolverine and took it to its fullest potential. He also made his character have that sarcastic side to it which made the movie quite funny in a few parts.

I thought that graphics in the movie were done really well with all of the mutants and their powers. It was extremely interesting. Now this movie is not about the X-Men. It is about Wolverine and his story and how he became who he is. At the end you did meet Professor X but it ended so that it would and could lead into another movie.

There was nothing sexual in it but you did see Logan’s backside when he was running out of a facility but it was in non-sexual context and it was literally a flash and then you saw him jump. But nothing was seen at all.

This was definitely a guy movie with all of the violence and testosterone laden action but it is still an entertaining watch. That does not explain why I watched it but I really did not know it was going to be as violent as it was. If I did I probably would not have watched it. 🙂

I would definitely recommend this movie to be seen but I would recommend the person to be over the age of at least 14 or 15 years of age due to some of the things which went on.

But otherwise, enjoy!

Chopsticks by Jessica Anthony and Rodrigo Corral – Print Version

 in Book Reviews / Books / Creative / Hot Off The Press / Interesting / Young Adult by

This was extremely interesting. Not what I expected at all, and talk about sad. But what beautiful pictures. This is one of the first interactive graphic novels but they also do it in book form (which is what I read.) There is more I believe to the iPad, iPod, and iPhone version. I will be purchasing that because I am curious to see how the two compare but this book was amazing. Such beautiful colors and they presented the book in such an amazing way, just so interesting. The cover of this book was also so cute.

So simple yet so elegant. Also notice with the color how it is not a true color. It is off-color. That was the effect throughout the entire book and it was really a nice touch to the graphic novel.

It was a little confusing because through the entire novel they kept referring to each other as G and F and it got a little confusing during some parts as to who was who but it was quite easy to pick again.

This is a definite checker-outer (if that is a word) and a HOT OFF THE PRESS.

But this book is definitely for older readers as there is some bad language and some sexual topics. But that was like 5 pages in a 200 page book so really minimal.

Also I read this book, wait for it, in 25 minutes flat. That is my all time record. Admittedly,  it was all pictures.

So go and purchase it here for your “i” stuff or go to your local book store/local library or shop around online.

Hope that you enjoy.

And once again, thank you to Omar, my local YA librarian for having it ready to go.

Thanks.

Graceling by Kristin Cashore

 in Adventure / Book Reviews / Books / Interesting / Older Readers / Series / Young Adult by

Summary

“Katsa has been able to kill a man with her bare hands since she was eight–she’s a Graceling, one of the rare people in her land born with an extreme skill. As niece of the king, she should be able to live a life of privilege, but Graced as she is with killing, she is forced to work as the king’s thug.

When she first meets Prince Po, Graced with combat skills, Katsa has no hint of how her life is about to change. She never expects to become Po’s friend. She never expects to learn a new truth about her own Grace–or about a terrible secret that lies hidden far away . . . a secret that could destroy all seven kingdoms with words alone.

With elegant, evocative prose and a cast of unforgettable characters, debut author Kristin Cashore creates a mesmerizing world, a death-defying adventure, and a heart-racing romance that will consume you, hold you captive, and leave you wanting more.”

Review

Before I even start about this book I would like to thank Omar my YA librarian for finding and giving me this book. Thank you so much because without you I don’t think I would have ever found this amazing book! 🙂

This was absolutely amazing. This is going to be on my top 5 favorite books of this year (unless I come across something more amazing which I highly doubt). The story had everything possible. It had romance, action, it was set in historical times, it was exciting, it was captivating, and it was overall amazing.

The story was about this girl named Katsa. She is Graced with killing but she did not want to have to use her grace. She does not like killing. The book follows her journey from when she meet Po, says no to her Uncle, and then follows her journey of finding a Princess and helping save people who need to be saved, and hurting those who need to be hurt.

I thought that the description in this books were very good. The author, Kristin Cashore, really painted a mental image of the scenery and what these places looked like. I enjoyed reading this book at night because I was kind of in that la-la land and I would go to bed with pretty scenery in my head (yes, I know, I am strange.) I just loved this book’s imagery. It was one of the highlights of the book.

There were not too many characters so you did not get confused as to what was going on. You always knew who was present and you always knew where they were which was helpful as there was a lot of traveling.

There are two more books like this called Fire and Butterblue. Fire happens 30 years before Graceling (even though Graceling was the first book published) and Butterblue takes place 8 years after Graceling.

I am going to be checking out these other two books and I hope that they will be as good as the first one.

If you would like to visit Kristin Cashore’s blog, please click here.

Her blog is great and have a look around.

This book was rated in my library PG-13 because there is some violence in it and there is some blood mentioned but I believe anyone 12/13 and older can read this book.

So happy reading.

Dead Man’s Cove by Lauren St. John

A Laura Marlin Mystery

Summary

“Orphaned Laura is sent to live with her uncle inCornwall, convinced that a life of adventure is hers at last. But everywhere she turns she’s confronted with mysteries. Is Tariq, the shopkeeper’s silent son, a friend or an enemy? Why does her uncle seem intent on erasing his own past? And why is everyone so afraid of Dead Man’s Cove?”

-From Back of the Book

Review

This is an excellent book for all ages. This is YA but I would say that the older end of the Children section of the library (like 11+) could read this book. It had great role modeling and excellent values which a teen/child should not know. A person may not be inspired by the cover because it is kind of childish, but remember never, ever, EVER, judge a book by its cover. I would say that anyone would be interested in this book. The characters were intriguing and easy to relate to and the setting and the story line was interesting as well.

I read another one of her books The White Giraffe (not a great review as I was new to this blog) and completely loved it. She has two series. Legend of the Animal Healer which has The White Giraffe, Dolphin Song (which I also read but never reviewed unfortunately), The Last Leopard, and The Elephant’s Tale. Then she is now starting a new series called Laura Marlin Mysteries. So far she has Dead Man’s Cove and Kidnap in the Caribbean which came out last July.

But this is a great book with great values and issues which some children may encounter. But they are not obvious in the book because Lauren St. John seems to hide the underlying messages in things which happen. You have to understand what is happening to find these message.

This book is not violent in any aspect and is great for all ages.

So go and check this one out. It is a defiant read.

Who is Lauren St. John?

Lauren St. John was born in Gatooma, Rhodesia, now Kadoma, Zimbabwe. She and her family moved when she was 11 to Rainbow’s End farm in Gadzema. She later wrote a memoir Rainbow’s End. She then moved to England and worked there for a few years.

Interview With My YA Librarian!!

 in At the Library / Author Interview / Fun / Library / Young Adult by

Well, following on with my occasional series of interviews with really interesting people, here we have another amazing interview. But this time it is not with a blogger or an author. It’s with the one, the only, Omar the YA Librarian at my local library. Doesn’t everyone wish for that amazing YA librarian that you can talk to, joke with, learn about books, and just have an overall good time with? Well this is Omar. He has all of the jokes down pat. He knows his books inside and out, and he is just in general a great person.

How many librarians do you know, who know your book preferences so well, know books that you may enjoy, so that when you arrive at your library, you already have a book on hold for you, hand picked, by your librarian? Well, I only know one. And that one is none other than (drum roll please) Omar. Now without further adieu, I would like to introduce you to my amazing librarian.

Well thanks to this lovely YA librarian, my library card is about to wear out – the poor thing is about to snap in half.

What made you want to become a librarian?

I always loved books and movies and stuff, and I always liked being around other people who loved books and movies and stuff.  I love talking about stories and introducing people to new stories they may not have heard about. What better place offers all those things more than a library?  My first job when I was a teenager was working as a page at a local library and I did that until the first year of college.  During college, I was a student librarian at my school’s library and I really enjoyed it, but dummy me didn’t realize I could make a career out of it until I graduated.  After a few years of doing small jobs, I went to grad school for library science.  And after that, I lucked out and found an opening for a YA librarian.  And here we are.

What were your friends’ reactions when they heard you were going to be a librarian?

They were all really happy.  For a lot of them, they knew me since I started working at my college and public libraries, so they always associated me with libraries.  They figured that I was finally able to find doing something I loved to do, and now they wouldn’t have to listen to me complain about fielding customer service calls during Christmas and New Years.  That’s a whole other story, by the way.

What is the best thing about your job?

Far too many.  If I could narrow it to just one thing, I would say the people.  The people I work with are intelligent, unique, and quite experienced, be it in the library world or just in general.  I always learn from them, and they’ve always helped me out.  And let’s not forget about the patrons.  The library takes all walks of life with their own wants and ticks, and I love helping them out.  There is nothing better than seeing someone walk out of a library happy.

What is the worst thing about your job?

Not having enough time to read everything!  The young adult scene is filled with all types of genres and unique perspectives from a wide assortment of writers.  There’s always something interesting in this field, but there’s never enough time to read it all.

What are you currently reading?

Right now, I’m reading “A Storm of Swords” by George R.R. Martin, the third in his “Song of Ice and Fire” series, as well as Kim Newman’s “Anno Dracula.”  I also have a book on writing I’m picking through, and a few pre-release copies of YA books (I’m gonna keep those a secret, come to the library to find out!).

And there’s also a ton of graphic novels and manga that I’m addicted to — seriously, I gotta stop buying those — but those I can finish in a snap, so no harm right?….Right?

What new YA book would you recommend?

There are a lot of good/new books out there, so I’m bound to either forget a couple or wind up mentioning too much.  So I’m just gonna throw out a few quick recommendations:

“When a Monster Calls” by Patrick Ness is really good, especially if you
want something that’s a mix of creepy and sad.  For fans of romance and drama, there’s “The Future of Us” by Jay Asher and Carolyn Mackler, “The Fault in Our Stars” by John Green, and “Stay With Me” by Paul Griffin.  The relationships in those books are realistic but they also have room to play around with interesting fictional ideas.  For excitement I recommend “The Scorpio Races” by Maggie Stiefvater if you’re in a fantasy-mood, and “Legend” by Marie Lu if you’re feeling science fiction-y.  Finally, for a mix of science-fiction, adventure, and romance, there’s “Cinder” by Marissa Meyer.

What are your top 5 favorite books?

Off the top of my head, “Blood Meridian” by Cormac McCarthy; “The Count of Monte Cristo” by Alexander Dumas; “Dune” by Frank Herbert; “The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn” by Mark Twain; and “The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy” by Douglas Adams.  I read all of those at different points in my life and culled different meanings out of them.  Also, they were pretty entertaining too, that helps.

What are your top 5 favorite movies?

Off the top of my head, I’d say “The Seven Samurai,” “The Godfather,” “Casablanca,” “Brazil,” and “The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly.”  Those are movies I’ve watched numerous times, and can watch several more times.  I also have books on these movies and their film makers, as well as numerous other books on film.  What can I say?  I’m a film junkie.

What, in your opinion, are some of the best books to movies ever?

It’s funny, some of the best movies that were based on books were based on books very few people ever HEARD OF, let alone READ!  Everyone remembers “Psycho” and “Jaws,” but few people remember the books!  Guess it’s kinda hard to replicate a sinister-sounding violin in a book.  Other movies I can think of are “Dr. Strangelove,” “The Godfather,” “First Blood,” “Who Framed Roger Rabbit?” (Really!), “Rashomon,” “The Thing,” (I liked John Carpenter’s version more than Howard Hawks’) “Invasion of the Body Snatchers,” “Planet of the Apes,” and — of all things — “Die Hard,” which was loosely based off a book called “Nothing Lasts Forever.”  And all of those are movies that I love.

What is your favorite soundtrack(s)?

I’m probably gonna get laughed at for these, but I love, LOVE Basil Poloudoris’ soundtracks for “Robocop” and the original “Conan the Barbarian.”  I love anything that sounds “epic” and Poloudoris’ music was the definition of epic…at least in terms of cinema. I also have a soft spot for Joe Hisaishi’s music.  If you’ve ever seen movies like “Spirited Away,” “Princess Mononoke,” or “Howl’s Moving Castle” you would have heard his music.  Most of his compositions can flux between whimsical and grand, but they’re always fantastic.

Describe your favorite reading spot.

I have this old arm chair in the corner of my bedroom.  My desk is on one side, my book shelf is on the other, and behind me is my window.  I like sitting their and reading with my feet resting on my desk chair, usually with a cup of coffee, tea, or hot chocolate.

If you could meet any book character who would it be and why?

Can I say Winnie the Pooh?  He was just such a silly ol’ bear; always found something interesting in the world around him.  I admire that.  Even if he was such a dummy. Tarzan is another one.  The idea of someone living in the jungle and making friends with animals has been a boyhood dream of mine.  Same with Conan, but he might be a bit too intense. I guess Sherlock Holmes and Jay Gatsby would be cool, but I have a feeling that they’d be too infatuated with other stuff.

If you would be transported into one of your favorite books, which would it be and why?

Oh no!  You’re not gonna trick me that easily!  I’ve seen/read “The Pagemaster,” and getting transported into a book can kill you! Any place I’d love to visit in a book, I can only imagine horrible things happening.  “The Lord of the Rings?” I don’t wanna get caught in a bloody war with medieval-era weaponry flying around.  Same with “The Hunger Games.”  “Dune?”  A desert planet?  I can’t even stand going to beach, let alone an ENTIRE planet made of sand.  “Neuromancer?”  Okay, cool computers everywhere, but the crime rate is terrifying. I guess if I could think of ONE place to go, it would probably be Dave Barry’s “Big Trouble.”  Everyone in that book were funny/insane, but it took place in Florida, so at least the weather would be nice.

Do you have any pets, and if so what are they and what are there names?

Unfortunately, I am without pets.  I’ve always wanted a dog ever since I was young, but it was never in the cards.  My fiance and I do want to get a dog or two at some point.  Probably something like a King Charles cavalier spaniel or Irish setter.  And I’d probably call them Mr. Cabadoo and Son Goku.  This is all speculation, of course.

 

So, what a great interview with such interesting answers! Who knew? Thanks Omar!!!!

Summary

Nothing can go wrong at 40,000 feet in the air, right? No – think again. When Kyle Pratt’s (Jodi Foster) daughter goes missing without a trace, Kyle knows something is not right. She remembers bringing the child on board, the child’s possessions are on the plane, but there is no record of her every boarding the 2 story state of the art aircraft which she designed. But did she actually vanish? She is the only one who saw her and time is running out because someone is plotting something disastrous. Will she be able to clear her name and prove she is sane, and find her child in time?

Review
This was a heart stopping, action packed, distressing, and amazing thriller. This movie was not scary in the sense that there was blood and guts, but loosing your child at 40,000 feet in the air, while you are transporting your husband’s body to be buried, can be kind of distressing – well, not kind of, really distressing. I cried quite a lot in this movie because there were a few sad scenes, but it was mostly just nail-biting. This movie kept you thinking because you did not know who was actual baddy was until the end. I thought it was one person but in the last 15 minutes of an 1 hr 30 min movie you find out that is it someone completely different and there are so many people to choose between.

Jodi Foster (Contact, Silence of the Lambs) played her character very well. She was a mother who was distressed, and determinate to find her child even when no one else had actually seen the children. I was amazed at how good her acting was. I would describe some of the other characters and how they were like, but I may give something away.

This is a great movie, but this is like Jaws for the sky so if you were nervous about flying with children, or just flying in general, this is not a great movie for you. But otherwise, this is a definite watch. I would give it 5/5 stars as the acting was superb, and the story line was fantastic.

It is rated PG-13 and CommonSenseMedia.org says its ok for 13+ and I completely agree.

Hope that you enjoy it.

Fracture by Megan Miranda

 in Book Reviews / Books / Hot Off The Press / Older Readers / Otherworldly / Young Adult by

* Note: This book is an Advance Reading Copy and it will not be out until January 2012.

Summary

“A lot can happen in eleven minutes. Decker can run two miles easily in eleven minutes. I once wrote an English essay in ten. No lie. And God knows Carson Levine can talk a girl out of her clothes in half that time.

Elven minutes might as well be an eternity under water. It only takes three minutes without air for loss of consciousness. Permanent brain damage begins at four minutes. And then, when the oxygen runs out, full cardiac arrest occurs. Death is possible at five minutes. Probably at seven. Definite at then.

Decker pulled me out at eleven.”

-From the back of the book.

Review

Quite a good book. I still have not figured out how the title fits in with the story but you never judge a book by its cover. I thought that the synopsis on the back of the book was quite intriguing. I read it and was instantly intrigued and I wanted to know what happened.

There is not a lot of say about this book just because it was not one of those stories where there were action. The characters were described pretty well and I could visualize them. But it is hard to describe this book. The story was fiction and it was more magical than anything. It was based on earth, but there was a magical quality to it. But I have to say, when this book comes out in January, it is a must read.

The exact date that it comes out (according to the book cover) is January 3rd, 2012 – but this may change.

Obviously,  this cover is not the final one…not too interesting. Hopefully when it is published they will have some great cover art that might link the title to story. This one doesn’t give a clue!

So, when the book comes out get it and give it a read. Hope that you will enjoy it as much as I did.

Review
WOWOWOWOWOWOWOWOWOW!!!!!!!!! This book was AMAZING. The story was so captivating and I just could not put it down. There was so much romance, humor, and action and everything else that a great book should need. IT WAS AMAZING. I cannot wait for the next book Tiger’s Destiny which I believe is coming out in the Summer of 2012. The ending of the book kind of left you wondering and wanting to, no, needing to know what happened next. I am currently dying. I have to know what happens next in the story ASAP. But I know I said the same thing for Tiger’s Curse and Tiger’s Quest but this book tops them all. I liked this one the best out of them all. I just cannot describe it other than saying GET OUT TO YOUR LOCAL LIBRARY. This is a must read series and if you don’t, you are missing out one something great.
Tell me what you think once you read it.
