Vampire Sucks is HIGH-larious

I just watched "Vampire Sucks" today which is a spoof of the first two Twilight movies, "Twilight" and "New Moon" and a bit of "Eclipse." It takes place in the small town of Sporks, where Becca moves to live with her father, Frank. There she meets the Sullen Family and falls in love with Edward Sullen.

Now don't get me wrong, I'm a Twilight fan and absolutely love the books...not as crazy about the movies but still a fan. But this movie was really funny, some may find it stupid and lame but it keeps you laughing throughout the whole movie. It kind of follows the original storyline with minor changes here and there. Out of the other spoof movies that are out there such as the "Scary Movie" series, "Disaster Movie" and "Superhero Movie" this one is actually one of the better ones. 

Although it doesn't really have it's own plot and it's mainly a movie for you to laugh at it's worth watching it once in theaters. They use a lot of references that just makes me smile or laugh and the actors do a really good job in portraying their roles. There isn't one joke you won't understand or won't laugh at, but that may be my immature side showing =p

So if you're looking for a movie where you don't have to bring you brain to this is defintely the right movie. Unless, your a twi-hard fan that can't take a joke, but even if you are a twi-hard fan you would enjoy this movie in my opinion cause it doesn't really bash the movie it just does things to make it less serious and puts it in a more happy atmosphere. 

Rating: ★★★★★ (5 Stars - cause I personally don't find anything wrong with it)

The Expendables Movie Review

*This is my first review so try to be nice =)*

The Expendables is a movie about a group of mercenaries whose given a task to overthrow a Latin American dictator. Directed by and starring Sylvester Stallone, Jason Satham and Jet Li with a special appearance by Arnold Schwarzenegger. 

With a cast like this, the movie is bound to have a lot of action scenes from car chase scenes, gun wars to full contact combat. It's definitely worth watching twice in my opinion. The storyline was written well and starting from the beginning there were already action sequences. There wasn't any point in the movie that was boring and not related to the movie as a whole. There were also a few comedic scenes which helped lighten the overall mood. 

However, some would feel that not all the actors got enough screentime. The story mainly had Stallone as the center and other actors such as Statham and Li were made into minor characters. Me, being a little bit biased wanted to see more screentime for Jet Li. Although he did get a fight scene, the camera moved too fast to see what was actually happening during the fight. This was also the case for some of the chase scenes and gun wars, everything seemed to be happening too fast and you were unable to see clearly who was who and what was happening.

People with weak stomachs shouldn't watch this movie cause it's very graphical and you fully see blood squirting out and limbs falling off people. Although it helped add to the effect it was a little excessive in my opinon. 

Overall, the plot was written pretty well and it's definitely a movie packed with action. It would have been better if some scenes were filmed better and less chaotic and the screen time was more evenly distributed between the stars. 

Rating: ★★★★ (4 Stars)

3 weeks till school T_T

Can't believe I only have three weeks till school....four months sure went by fast (four months for me cause i'm in college). Okay not really THAT fast but still, August is sure going by really fast...it's already the 18th. Starting to get more stressed...so much to do and so little time!! Gotta figure out which laptop to get, get my art supplies, buy some more clothes and get a new school bag. Not to mention I'm still crossing my fingers to get into rez. If I hopefully do get in I gotta start packing for that too!! Even though there's like three weeks it still feels like there's not enough time *sigh*

I got my English placement test coming Monday...so that'll be my first time going to school by myself and by public transit...hopefully I won't get lost ><

PornStar.....THE DRINK!!

So I went to my friend's house the other day to just chill and hang out...we had some pizza and was playing on her PS3. After eating she made me this drink that seriously tasted like a blue freezie. SOOOO GOOD!!! 

It was "Sour Puss Raspberry," "Blue Curacoa" and 7-up and ice...although there's like 15% alcohol in both liqueurs but you couldn't taste any of it. It was really fruity and tastes more like juice than alcohol. I had two beer mugs of that thing and I got sooo hyper!!! We were playing "Little Big Planet" and I laughed so hard I cried. That's how crazy I got. 

I would definitely recommend this as a party drink and for someone who doesn't like the taste of alcohol...but one thing to keep in mind is how much you intake since people tend to drink more if they can't taste the alcohol and that's not the best thing seeing how you can get drunk pretty quickly if you chug these drinks. 

Oh and remember NEVER DRINK AND DRIVE!!!
