Sweeney Todd: The Motion Picture Soundtrack

  • Jan. 19th, 2009 at 1:01 PM
YES! I went and bought this the same day I bought Twilight: The Score. I LOVE THIS SO MUCH! I've been wanting to own this since the day I finished watching the movie and I became obsessed with it.

I especially love the little booklet it came with. I suppose it could be the little thing that they usually slip inside the CD case where the album art is, but this is so much thicker, so it's separate from the CD, but it's enclosed in the same sleeve. So that was an added bonus, or not, since I had to pay more than if I had bought the regular CD. But it has all the lyrics and pictures and I LOVE IT! So worth my money. But maybe that's just me since I love this movie so much. =P

Twilight & Twilight Score

  • Jan. 18th, 2009 at 9:30 AM
This movie review is long overdue. I saw it way back in November the week it was released, but I didn't write a review for it back then because I was pretty much got bored of the movie during the first half, but I'm not saying it was bad. I admit when I saw the trailers I was like,  oh god, they've ruined the books. This is wrong, blah blah blah. But when I saw it the 2nd time over winter break, I liked it better. But again I didn't write a review, but I want to write one now because I bought a CD related to Twilight and I want to talk about that too.

So. Twilight. Movie. Huh. Well, I thought that they compressed the movie really well, because the book is so thick and all, but then again Twilight isn't the most complex story, it's just really interesting. Anyway, The first half. To me it was boring, I already know what it was about, and it was all talk, but I totally get that since that's how it is in the book, but I dunno, it just bored me. I wasn't even paying attention half the time, but I did the 2nd time I watched it. I really like how Kristen Stewart played Bella, she didn't ruin the part at all. Kristen didn't appear to be as whiny as the Bella in the book. Robert Pattinson was good as well, but honestly I think that nobody can play Edward except for the character himself. But like I said, Rob did a good job and I was pleased with it. Charlie was awesome too, I could totally see him in my head when I read the book again, the Cullens were awesome as well. I love the casting and all, but Emmett was someone I couldn't see in my mind even when I tried to picture him, maybe that's because I have my own Emmett in my mind. Jessica, Mike, Erik, Angela, Tyler, and Jacob were not how I pictured them in my head, and I understand that not all of them could be the people in my head, you know? But I liked how they played their characters. Taylor Lautner, on the other hand, I can't picture him in New Moon, but we'll see how Summit handles that. Considering of course they don't already make a sukish movie by rushing it. It's all in the hands of the new director.

I would also like to point out that there were a few awkward camera movements, and of course some cheesy lines. They were cheesy to begin with in the book. But I didn't mind, but hearing it being said out loud was just like... gah. Also, I couldn't help noticing the cable pulling on Edward's shirt when he jumps from his window to the tree... I couldn't help laughing at that. Lastly, the sparkle was BAD. BAD BAD BAD.

Moving on, things started picking up for me during the baseball game! Yayy. It was so fun to watch. The game, combined with the music, made it so fun and interesting. I would say that that scene is my favorite.

I loved everything that came after the baseball scene as well. The whole thing  with James was very action-packed and had my eyes glued to the screen. Plus Cam is totally HOT! I think they mixed a good amount of action and suspense in that particular sequence. And also I especially love the part where Alice (who is SO cute with Jasper!) jumps on him and rips his frikkin head off! That was amazing. Also there was the part where Edward had to suck the venom from Bella's blood. I especially loved how they played that in the movie since it wasn't as intense for me in the book as it was in the movie.

Overall, I think the casting was great, the parts were played well, and I am hoping that New Moon will turn out to be good as well. I don't want them to butcher it since New Moon is my favorite book in the series.

***

I was at Best Buy yesterday and I was looking for some new music to add to my growing collection. I was actually looking for something particular, I couldn't find it until I headed over to the soundtrack section. It was there that I saw the Twilight albums. and I say this in plural form because there are 2 albums to choose from. The first one, Twilight: The Original Soundtrack, is composed of the songs played throughout the movie by various artists including Paramore, Muse, Blue Foundation, Linkin Park, etc. I didn't but that one. The other album was Twilight: The Score, which is the background instrumentals they played during the movie. I remember really liking those particular melodies when I watched the movie, and so I bought that one.

I listened to it at home after ripping it to my iPod and I really like it. Listening to it was a nice change of pace from the other songs I like to listen to, plus there are no lyrics so I can concentrate more on the work I am doing.

Sweeney Todd

  • Dec. 21st, 2008 at 6:42 PM
Burton is the best film director next to nobody! That's my opinion, mind you. And I love this movie! I think this is my new Burton favorite. Honestly, I've only seen five of his movies, but I absolutely love his creativity! I also love how in Sweeney Todd, I felt for a moment that I was in that particular period of time in England where there was a very distinct difference between the poor and the classy. Anyway, macabre Broadway musical, anyone? That's what you're going to get if you ever decide to watch this. It's rated R for a reason. The blood and constant killing every ten seconds didn't bother me, though. I love it that much. The casting was PERFECT! I can't stress that enough, who knew Johnny Depp can sing? I was totally blown away when he sang "My Friends," it got stuck in my head for the rest of the day, and Helena Bonham Carter's voice really complements Depp's. Ho-hum... I can't think of anything bad to say about this movie. Except there was a part that bored me a little bit, it was a song number that went on for like a good five minutes or so. Blah, I'm not going to lower my rating just for that. Don't think that this movie is only about a mindless killing spree, it actually has a plot, and just when I was enjoying it too much there was this huge twist at the end that left my mouth gaping - and no, it's not when everyone dies, but it's pretty darn close. iTunes better put this up soon because I want it!!!

The Host

  • Nov. 26th, 2008 at 5:24 PM
For those of you who don't know this here review is about The Host, a book by Stephenie Meyer. I was at Barnes and Nobles buying a book for my English class, and I saw the book on one of the tables. I had heard of it, and I've even thought of reading it, but I wasn't sure. I loved the Twilight series so much that I thought that if I read The Host it would ruin Meyer for me, but it was so thick, and I love thick books, so I bought it. :))

It was very confusing at first, I had to read the first chapter two times to let my brain comprehend it, but it didn't really make sense, so I read on. It made more sense as the story went on, and by the time I've read a fifth of the book I couldn't put it down. I blew off my homework for this! It's more sci-fi than romance, and I have no qualms about that, it was honestly really good. It shows humanity at it's best, and that being human doesn't necessarily make you human in a deeper perspective. I cried during some parts, I had to lock myself in the bathroom for those, haha. It's just so touching, especially the last four or five chapters. I hope they make this into a movie - a good one, because I need my fix of this novel, there ain't enough fan fiction out there. :(

One Tree Hill: Season 5

  • Nov. 2nd, 2008 at 10:16 AM
It was a short season compared to the others. Plus there wasn't really much going on, the biggest moment for me in that season was when Lucas told Peyton he hated her. GAH. Well, I'm still going to buy the DVDs. :))

One Tree Hill: Season 4

  • Oct. 28th, 2008 at 8:49 PM

AMAZING! I can hear the angels singing the hallelujah chorus. This is my favorite season ever! It's just so... OMG I don't even know how to say it. Let me just break down the parts and review them. =P

Psycho Derek?! Hahaha, that guy was scary, I don't blame Peyton for being paranoid. At first I was like, okay he's cool, but after that episode where he meets her for the first time and the camera shows him in his room, which is BTW covered with pictures of Peyton.. it hit me. STALKER! I'm okay with him being out of the picture, I mean who wouldn't right? And her real half-brother is pretty kickass, him being half black was  a shocker though, didn't see that coming. But, as much as I feel sorry for Peyton duing the whole Psycho Derek arch, I'm pretty happy for her and Lucas. Okay so I was a Brooke/Lucas fan before (and I still am), but hey, I can adapt... I'm pretty open-minded with my couples. =P

Speaking of Peyton... her big fight with Brooke. That was, wow. I thought it was funny, but c'mon. BFFs, anyone? And okay, I know a LOT of people hate Rachel, but honestly, I like her now that she's shown herself as an actual person, plus it helps that  she's become such good friends with Brooke, and that she tried with the others too. So yeah, she's forgiven for the whole Nathan thing.

Nathan. :) I'd love to have a guy like him someday, minus the drama. His mom is pretty funny in a messed-up sort of way. Anyway, back to Nathan. It's so sweet - him and Haley. They are so good together! This is OTP right here, guys. Like it's not obvious right? :)) You don't even see the player in him anymore, he's so loyal to Haley. It's amazing. Oh and I thought that the sex tape he made from 2 years ago where he and Brooke do it like 5 seconds after Peyton breaks up with him was EPIC. Not the sex tape... the scene. :)) Yeah, you don't want to piss Peyton off. :))

Dan Scott. Oh, what have you done to yourself? I actually feel sorry for him, not primarily because he is a very dark time, but because of his face. That's right. His face. Have you seen his expressions? They look so pitiful! :)) I know it's retarded, but I'm just me that way. I didn't like it when he and Karen kissed... I was like, oh no. Karen is too good for him anyway. I loved seeing Keith again. :) It was definitely a good episode.

Speaking of episodes, it killed me to see Nathan and Haley going through these problems. :( And you gotta love Whitey, what's an old man to do? I wanted to wring that loan shark's neck so bad. I was so angry at him! X( That episode when they win the championship was the best, in my opinion. The tragic ending was, well, tragic. It is how it its; at least everything turned out to be okay for everybody. MOUTH! I can't believe I almost forgot about him! Way to go! Too bad with Shelly though, they were good together, but I guess they weren't really for each other... Mouth's awesome. :))

I can't believe our teens are graduating high school and are off to college, I will miss watching episodes of OTH set during their high school years, but I'm always game for new seasons. :)

More watercolor practice. My reference was a painting in a book called "Don't Ever Give Up Your Dreams (A Blue Mountain Arts Collection) page 58. LOL, I don't really know who to give credit to, that's why I'm being so specific. :))

Thought I'd try a hand at water coloring. I wasn't very good at it when I was a kid, but in art class Mrs. Rogers taught us how to shade a sphere using watercolors, so I decided to... I dunno, do something else other than spheres. I'm getting pretty tired of the abstract work we're always doing in class, and this painting was fun to do. ^_^

Erza Scarlet

  • Oct. 11th, 2008 at 9:07 PM
HA! I knew it! The photobucket issue had something to do with the numerous viruses that our laptop had. That's right, had. :) Dad bought Trend Micro Internet Security and it solved our problems. I'm happy now.

So I've been reading Fairy Tail, this manga by Mashima Hiro, it's pretty freaking funny if you ask me. I drew one of my fave characters from there, her name is Erza Scarlet, and she's like this badass chic who's all tough but inside she's just really insecure.

An Intro:

I make stuff. I mean I write fanfiction, draw fanart, make fan icons, color bars, etc... I'm a fangirl for short. I write reviews as well, I like to voice out my opinion on what I've seen, and recommend them to others as well.

I'm also pretty lazy. And I enjoy my time alone. I'm the kind of person who wouldn't mind staying at home all day if I had something to keep me busy and/or entertain me. But I do get tired of routines, so you'll hear me complain once in a while. I like the Asian stuff: Manga/anime, dramas and the like. They make me the fangirl that I am now. Also, I love to read. My favorite kind of books are those thick ones that have continuing sagas. :3

I'm pretty shy, it's not easy for me to open up to people either. But don't stop that from trying to talk to me, I'm not that introverted. =) Anyway, hope you like what you see in my LJ. The TAGS are there, so use them to your advantage!
