Okay, so this is my second or so
random thoughts blog. Today I thought I would share some stuff that has been on
my mind. Just things that I’ve seen lately.
Did anyone see Book of Life? If you have not seen this, then you should. This
animated movie was a breath of fresh air. When I first saw the previews I said
aloud I have to see that. For one it is a Guillermo Del Toro production. And
two it looks funny. Spoiler alert, it was funny. Whoever thought of using the
song Just a Friend to help Joaquin
serenade Maria was a genius. Well at least the people my age thought it was
funny. All the song selections for Book
of Life were great. I never thought I would hear Creep as a let me sing this song while no one is looking to express
how I feel about us and my life song. Oh, third reason to see it the cast.
Diego Luna, Zoe Saldana, Channing Tatum, Ron Perlman, Christina Applegate, Ice
Cube, and Kate del Castillo.
Oh, another reason to see it is a
brilliantly colorful story. Seriously when you look at the movie you have to
view the screen from top from bottom because every scene is filled with
beautiful art work. Oh, and the most important reason it shares the culture of
Dia de los Muertos, and it does not talk down to the audience when it does.
Anyone who loves learning about other cultures, or loves the creativity that
goes into animated movies needs to see this movie.
There are a lot of great lines in the
Book of Life. Like when the kids at
the museum are listening to the story, and one of them says what are you doing
to us we are just kids? Or when Candle Maker (Ice Cube) says today was a good
day. I also like saying, Joaquin! whenever I’m about to do something awesome.
Okay well more like I am about to read this book. Or, see a favorite movie, Joaquin!
Speaking of things you watch I have
been binge watching Arrow Season 2
today. Can I say something if I can say something, when I saw Sara Lance I was
like finally! Finally another girl who can kick butt. And is not like aw you
have family problems, well let me make this moment about me girl. I say another
girl, because the first being Felicity, who kicks IT butt. Although I don’t
appreciate (and this is only my opinion) that brains does not equal beautiful
thing or whatever I can’t be with someone who I might care about excuse. Then
he says I love you in the season finale. That was confusing considering he has
been with Sara the whole time. Don’t get me wrong, you’re my girl Sara, but if
Oliver loves Felicity why not just not be with anyone? BUT then it turns out he
was just doing that to trick Slade.
So my review of season 2: all this
for a girl? Gee wiz. (And if you are wondering what girl, take your pick.) My
apologies that sounded a bit snippy, but sometimes it’s all a little too much,
I don’t know, brooding. Now that I think of it, I keep saying things like this
happened and he did this. So I can’t I will not, not watch the show. What? This
is a judge free zone. See that right there judge free.
Hunger Games! Mockingjay Part I! Every preview that
has come out I’ve been like don’t talk to me right now there’s a Hunger Games trailer on. There are a lot
of moments in different previews where I have been gasping and saying that’s in
the book! Well I yell that in my head because I am too excited about what I am
seeing to verbalizing. I am looking forward to it because Catching Fire really captured the essence of the book and I think
this movie will too. Speaking of the book I need to get started on my tradition
of reading the book again before I see the movie. Two more weeks! Hunger Games!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
