With my iPhone
I can surf on the net
I can check my facebook
And post pictures of wolfram, my pet
My iPhone tells me the weather
and let's me play games
Downloading stuff for free
Definately isn't lame
It stores all my music
And phone numbers too
I can watch the stocks drop
while crying, boo-hoo.
So many cool apps
Like a virtual dog
My iPhone's so awesome
It deserves a poem on my blog!

Special Effects: the effects were cool, however I think they could have had more of a punch.
The Plot: the plot of the movie was somewhat different from that of the original. The main theme was one that seems to be very popular amongst movies right now (humans are destroying the planet) which is seen in other movies like Wall-e and The Happening. I would say that of these 3 movies I would rank this one as 2nd place (wall-e 1st and the happening 3rd)
The Acting: the role of the alien Klatuu was perfect for Keanu Reeves, as he is not the most well rounded actor but does a good job playing stiff alien or robotic roles with minimal emotions. Jennifer Connelly made up for Keanu's lack of emotion. The kid, played by Will Smith's son was VERY annoying and the part could have probably been removed without anyone noticing. He was nothing more then an unnecessary annoyance.
The worst part of the movie was the ending. It seemed rushed.
I would recommend watching this movie on a rainy day when it is free on cable.

This movie is starring Jensen Eckles of Supernatural (YUM) and a bunch a cry-baby skinny girls.
Another thing I liked about the trailer was the tagline:
"Nothing says date movie like a 3D ride to Hell!"
I know I would be terrified and would probably close my eyes and plug my ears for most of it (thus wasting like $15) but I kinda want to see it.
It comes out at the end of January.

1. The Grinch Who Stole Christmas (the cartoon version only) - a classic
2. Rudolph - another classic. It is full of claymation goodness!
3. Die Hard - Yippee-ki-yay mother$&@?&$!! Also, it has Alan Rickman as the bad guy....YUM!!
4. Babes in Toyland (only the one from 1960). This movie is awesome. They don't play it enough!!
5. Scrooged. One of my all time favorites!! More holiday movies should be like this one!!
6. A Christmas Story. Yet another classic.
7. The Gremlins. Answering the age old question of what to get someone who has everything!!
8. The Shining. There is nothing like watching the snow gently fall from a beautiful hotel...especially if you are staying in room 237!!!
9. The Nightmare Before Christmas. Is it a Christmas movie? Is it a Halloween movie? Who cares?!
10. Mickey's Christmas Carol. I use to watch this every year when I was a kid!!

Then, most of the show was an advertisement for the Mel Gibson movie Passion of the Christ. You remember Mr. Gibson, right? He was the man who made anti-Semitic remarks to the officer arresting him for driving drunk and then calling a female officer "sugar-tits"!! Nice role model you got there Kirky!!!
I never saw Passion of the Christ. I wouldn't want to hand my money over to a hypocritical anti-Semite who obviously doesn't have any respect for women or the law!
Then, on the show Kirk shows clips of recent movies with people cussing (bleeping out the sinful parts, of course). These movies include the bucket list and some vince vaughn movie. If I were any of the actors in those movies I would be pissed!! Not to mention the fact that I can't recall hearing in the news that vince vaughn was running around calling the females that help serve and protect us sugar-tits!!!
All of this "see only the g rated god friendly movies" couldn't at all be a ploy to boost sales of Kirk's own lame-ass movie about god fearing fire fighters....could it?!! That would be....very wrong!!
And...Ray Comfort looked creeptastic in a tux!!!!

John had a pet turkey named Moe
After the bartender from the Simpson's, you know
He could dance, talk and sing
He could do just about anything
but of course he still couldn't sew.
Each year when November came
John's wife would say the same
"Without turkey to carve
we shall surely starve
and you will be to blame!"
But John wouldn't comply
He didn't want Moe to die
He'd say, "Mary, my dear
no need to fear
a frozen Turkey I shall go buy."
But this year wasn't the same
When November came
Because times were tough
There was only one thing to stuff
and the bad economy was to blame!

I know, Twilight and Harry Potter are books for kids but I don't care. The stories are awesome!
The Twilight movie was good. Not great but not bad. The main thing to keep in mind is that the book consists mostly of Bella's thoughts and feelings. That combined with the fact that the book isn't that long and doesn't have a ton of drama, it is hard to see how this book can even be turned into a movie.
For tge most part, the movie did a good job of staying true to the book and adding and changing things that made sense for the film.
I think that given what the book had to offer, the movie did it justice.
Sure, there are things that I would have changed. I think that there were some things missing from the movie that could have made it a lot better. Like a lot of the dialog between Bella and Edward.
The other problem I had was with Jasper. In the book Jasper is one of my favorite characters but in the movie he came off as a bloodthirsty Edward Scissorhands.
All in all, I would suggest seeing this movie. I think if you are a big fan of the books and/or you are a teenage girl this is the movie for you!!

"The Mormon is no different then the Jehovahs witness, the roman catholic and the Jew. It's just sinful man trying to wash himself clean with a different brush." -Ray Comfort
This season of Way of the Master (the ultra creepy religious show with kirk cameron and ray comfort) is the worst yet. They have gone from spouting their crap about their weirdo version of Christianity to actually going after other religions. I mean who the hell are they to tell others that what they believe is wrong?!
According to Christianity by kirk and ray, if u believe god loves you then you are going to hell because you are creating a false idol.
And what is really disturbing is that people are actually buying into this crap.

To sum it up-
It is basically a 2 hour music video for very well done Beatle's covers with a seriously psychadelic feel. I would imagine if you were high when you watched it that it would be awesome. But if you watch it sober as I did, it is totally weird but entertaining.
The best part was the music. I had downloaded a few of the songs before seeing the movie but now I really want the whole cd.
The best songs:
Because: a truly amazing cover!!!
Dear Prudence
Okay basically they are all awesome
It is worth seeing.

Quick note: it's 4:00 and I am typing this using my iPhone. Don't mind the errors.
Random thoughts at 4:00 am:
1. The economy sucks. Like, a lot!! (bad enough for me to have a nightmare about being so poor that I have to be a theme-waitress for some bizare version of the USO. Me dressed in a biohazard suit selling government officials cigars. What the hell is that suppose to mean?!?!
2. I am so ready for the movie Twilight to come out already. I read the books, I've seen the 8 million various trailers and now I really feel that I am ready. With my love of the books and all the mad hype of this movie, I am guessing that it will be some kind of miracle if it lives up to anyones standards. I have high hopes and believe me, I will review that sucker as soon as I see it. The thing that I am trying to keep in mind, and that others should to, is that the movie is going to be way different from the book. And that could be okay. The structure of the book isn't really suitable to be transferred direct into a script like Harry Potter was. The book isn't that long and a large majority of it is internal thoughts of the main character Bella. It comes out on the 21st.
3. Spiders are gross! (as are all bugs). My friend Milkweed and I were attacked by this really horrifying spider in the office!! We thought it was dead and when we got close enough to investigate, it jumped at us! Oh and, the horrible fly that spent it's morning buzzing around my light finally died and fell from the light directly into my coffee!! Ick!
4. It's almost effing thanksgiving!! That's right folks, the holidays are here. Where did this year go? And with all the horrible economy stuff who wants to Christmas shop. Is anyone going to have Christmas spirit? I'm guessing that's a big ole jolly no-no-no!
5. I'm really should be cleaning instead of blogging. I am suppose to have people over tonight and I was going to get up early to clean because I was a lazy bum and did nothing last night (except get a little drunk). I'll start in a few minutes (yeah right!).

Brook Shields is not a comedian and really shouldn't attempt to be. In these commercials she goes on about how people everywhere are having babies just to get the VW Van thing (which is super ugly anyway). It is such a stupid commercial and there seems to be new ones popping up that have the same lame-ass "baby" joke with, of course lame-ass Brook Shields. We get it, okay. We all had to hear about her and scientology psycho Tom Cruise's fight over the use of drugs after pregnancy...blah, blah. But really!! To put her in a commercial. Was VW so hard pressed for celebrity endorsements that they chose the lamest person ever!! Maybe one of the VW ad executives was up late one night watching that super stupid show she use to be on, Suddenly Susan, or whatever and they were obviously so high that they considered the show to be funny. Who knows?!
The commercial is lame and stupid and everytime it comes on I want to scream, change the channel and go outside and kick every VW with a steel toe boot!!!!!

This was the first time I voted at all and I am really glad that I did. Though I can't say I believe completely that it makes a difference (I guess that is just my "lone gunmen" complex), it really did make me feel like part of something.
Okay. So, things that stood out to me at the election coverage.
1. The music that was playing. The music McCain had after he gave his concession speech sounded like the star wars death march! Maybe it was just ABC.
2. Palin's dress. It looked like a giant bruise. A $150,000 bruise. At least she kept her mouth shut though!!
3. Obama's wife's dress. Wow!! Really horrible. I guess his side really isn't spending $150,000 on her clothes!
4. Obama's speech. Was amazing!! What a great speech.
I can only hope he does bring the change everyone needs!
Now we just have to wait until 1/20 so we can watch Bush get his butt evicted from the white house...finally!!

1. Teen Witch - 80's montages don't get any better then this!
2. Harry Potter (all) - You can't have Halloween without the most famous young wizard of all time.
3. The Exorcist - Split pea soup anyone?
4. Hocus Pocus - Disney did Halloween right with this movie!!
5. The Omen - Nothing is creepier then demonic children!
6. The Shining - All work and no play make Jack a dull boy. This movie also has the creepiest score of all time!!
7. Hush Hush Sweet Charlotte - Black and white. Sometimes it is funny to see what was scary to people a long time ago. (other totally old black, white and scary movies that rock: Freaks, Psycho, The Birds)
8. The Worst Witch (198something) - An awesome movie I remember being on every Halloween growing up. No one seems to remember it but me, but it was awesome!!
9. Twin Peaks: Fire Walk With Me - Don't worry if you have never seen the show. This movie is so weird and creepy, you won't understand anything that's going on anyway (except that you are going to have nightmares after watching it!)
10. The Ring - "Seven Days!!" ....of nightmares and unplugging your tv before you go to sleep!!!
Have a Happy Halloween!
