So I just recently saw the movie “9″ by Tim Burton. I heard that the movie was based on a short story and Tim Burton decided to take it and elaborate it since it was his style. But anyways, on to my review.

Going into the movie I wasn’t expecting a huge thing but I figured it should be good because it was a Tim Burton film. The movie is basically about these sock boy like figures that are trying to live in this world of metal monsters and they aren’t sure how they got there.

The story line is pretty basic and I felt predictable. There are some things you have to watch to understand but it’s a decent and entertaing story. The thing you will love those are the different characters and personalities of each as well as the cinnematography.

Sorry did I say good cinnematography, I meant amazing cinnematography.

Overall I would give the film a 8 out of 10 worth seeing I guess but not anything as good as “Inglorious Bastards” and “500 Days of Summer”.

Well sadly i never got back on to do a post after my last one but w.e.. Today been just chillin.

Woke up to HELLA loud thunder and bright lightening! If you live in Dublin, you know what i was talking about, it was intense. Then i fell back asleep and got up at like 12…waste of half a day if you ask me but what ever.

Just showered and hitting up Brian’s to check out progress on the film and probably gonna film something today but idk what lol.

Anyone wanna join in a script writing group lemme know. Planning on doing a big project with Myself, Mitch, Tito, Macartney, Morgan, Brian, Perry, just gonna be off the chain!

I’ll post later about my review for Tim Burtons “9″.

Ladies and Gentlemen it has been a great summer. Finally winding down but at the same time it doesn’t feel like that. College is so relaxing but more serious. I love the debates and classes i am taking this year and it’s going to be fun. I actually have class at 8am so idk why I’m still up writing but ill do a real post soon, hopefully.

Well well well, what can I say about Twilight. First off I do not support the mass fan craze and hype over the film. Having that said though, I do see where it comes from. I have not read any of the books but I might possibly do so after seeing the first one. So here it goes.

I felt the film was excelent in every way. The cinematography was beautifully done as well as direction of the film. The music to me was very unique because it felt like I could connect better to th movie becaus of the music was stuff I liked, even though it wasn’t stuff you would see on iTunes top 10 or on MTV.

The acting in the film was very well done but I did feel the main character Edward, over acted or was a littl too fake at times.

About the only thing I disliked about th film was how everyone was Soo fricken pail white to the point they looked like ghost. They also made the movie set up the next film so easily that it was easy to tell you what the next book will be about.

All and all though I thought the movie was surprisingly fantastic and I am excited to see the new film and possibly start reading the books.

Wow, what can I say about this movie? I’ll start off by saying it was the gayest thing I have ever watched(that’s not being offensive to homosexuals). Amazingly though I was laughing my ass off almost all of the movie and I felt like I was watching jackass again because time flew by and all they were doing were stupid jokes or activities.

Anyone who says it was terrible or stupid or what ever obviously didn’t think about what the movie would be like. Of course it’s not a superbad, knocked up, or transformers, but a strange comedy. Now I will say the humor is very raw, unedited, and just ridiculously crazy as he’ll.

Overall I will give the film a B- as this kind of comedy but a general movie I would def say it’s a C-. I would not only recommend but to caution parents to see with any child. It’s very raw, uncut, and you could argue it’s soft core porn.

Don’t blame me if you don’t like it, but u will be scared for life lol.

End of July and into a whole new chapter of my life….

You might think that just because it’s end of July, I’m saying it’s a whole new chapter, wrong. July has been more crazy then i could ever imagine and much more of it is on it’s way soon. To recap for this month I not only got 4 awards/scholarships, I received one scholarship from the Dublin Alumni Association but I was picked by the lead guitarist from Motor Head which is soo legit. After that we had all our Senior events like I already talked about but we GRADUATED!!. CLASS OF 2009 we did it!

Graduation was soo much fun throwing beach balls, cheering for friends, and everything in between. Had lots of grad parties and they were a blast, I also picked up a nice stack to deposit to the bank . Needless to say I have enough money now to finally buy the camera I want/need but just need to figure out which one would be the best for me. Not only that I have to buy a new car soon and start making payments on that. But anyways, after graduation we had Grad Night.

I was the first one in of course cause I wanted all the action first! Ran upstairs with Mac Myers and hit up the Sumo Wrestling. It was a blast. Ran around all night, hanging with different groups and it was just a very fun and chill time. People afterward still went and got drunk but its sad that our generation can’t have a fun or complete night without alcohol, kinda ridiculous. But what ever. Love me, hate me for saying it, I would love to hear your argument.

Anyways, after all this fun stuff i went to Disneyland with my good friend Anthony Mckee. Shit we had a blast, 5 days of us running around the park doing what ever, when ever, and could literally walk out of the park and be at our hotel, amazing!! Ran into JVD, Alex, Drew, Jered, and that whole group as well and Mel/Tangay, and saw even more people. We had alot of fun without and even more fun with the parents. Dinner conversations were hilarious to say the least. Mckee is still kinda mad that i wasn’t backing up and join with his parents but dude I’m sorry, their right and everyone knows it. The trip was great and got me ready for a nice relaxing week and then off to my camping trip.

It was pretty ridiculous and adventure to say the least. I FRICKEN READ A BOOK. For people who REALLY know me know i don’t read. I told myself i would read this book and wouldn’t and couln’t put it down for more than an hour. It was a fantastic book and NO i wasn’t soo bored that i read it, i actually ditched out on doing some fun stuff to read it.

Sadly I have to go but some movie reviews to come soon!

Wow what can I say about the last weekend of high school! It has been the craziest shit I could have expected. Hopefully their is alot more to come soon.

Thursday started out with a normal but chill day of school. Powderpuff game followed and we played a decent game. Personally i felt we did alot better last year against the 08 seniors but we still had fun. Luckily we racked up enough points to keep the lead even after there final touch. Follwing this fun event of me losing my voice, Enrique and I hopped into my moms car and drove to number hill for senior sunset! It was a touch climb especially with no water to cool my throat from yelling. The sunset was gorgeous beyond belief and made up for senior sunrise. Everyone up their were all the coolest people too so it made it even more special. After this fun climb we decended down the mountain to all meet for some great food at Athens which closed 10 min after we got there so felt kind of bad. Jerking in the middle of the parking lot with thizznick and people was fun as we all went into broom ball(ha i didn’t have to pay). Broom ball was chill as it turned into dancing on the ice, red rover, and table toping people. Finally the day came to an end as I took Enrique home and went to bed.

Friday started off early at 7am at the High School after going to bed at 12:30 pm…Kinda crazy. Then off to Water World 40 min late thanks to the stupid ass bus drivers. We went back to old school mode and tried to get trucks to honk! Brent stuck his head out the window and the truck did it but Brents glasses flew out the window. Water world was fun in our small group and we hit everything before lunch. After lunch I played alot of volleyball and tanned with some beautiful ladies. One had a nip slip which was hilarious for me and Dan cause we didn’t know what to do. Later that night after sleeping we played a massive game of zombie tag at shannon park which was decent but way too many newbs.

Saturday was legit was Baccalaureate and i thought everything was amazing. People responded very well to the senior video and I’m glad about that. Rubio and Waynewrights speech was 40 fricken minutes but it was hilarious and amazing. Chuck and I did great on our speech and it was well recieved. My leg wouldn’t stop shaking which was ridiculous because I wasn’t fricken nervous! The night was good too hanging with my family and seeing Up with Hannah and well seeing Joe lol.

Sunday was a jam packed day of Grad Party. To make it short, thank you to all who came and especially brought gifts. It was very appreciated, as well as the parents for putting it all together. Mrs. Baumann got us all legit ass towels which are soooo cool. Thank you again!

The fun continues and hopefully we can get a good senior prank out lol.

It has been a very long time since I have been in a relationship.

I want to write alot but it’s hard for me to right now. I have so many ideas running through my head and it really sucks because i don’t know what to do anymore. I REALLY have strong feelings for Hannah and i feel like she completes me in a certin way but at the same time it’s like wtf is going on with us?

Then there is Eliza who seems really cool, chill, and my type but i have no clue what’s goin on there and really can’t expect much cause she just became single and shes probably going away for college so it’s like i have no clue what to do.

My life seems almost meaningless at times to me because i feel like i’m im just living because i have to. All I can do it pray to god and wait to see what comes. I’m not the type of person who just wants sex, i need initimacy and a real connection with someone.

Well today was crazy to say at least. got up at 7 to get stuff ready. Had my DP (Perry) come drop off some more equipment early and Chet lol.

Mitch and Perry who had all the rest of the stuff were late getting back, and perry was my DP so i couldn’t do anything.

Started shooting an Hour and a half after we wanted to get the first shot off which made things hectic. Things started to get better after our amateur crew started to learn what to do as well as what terms meant.

Mitch, Tito, and I had to skip out on lunch to set up for the bedroom scene because Sam(Anthony V.) had to get going back home to S.F. by 4pm.
Somehow we got all those shots and lighting in only an hour!! Which trust me, is amazing because of how long shots take to set up and shoot.

Even had some time to get some of tomorrows shots out of the way and made my room look like a bathroom! lol.

Tomorrow should be fun with some pyrotechnics and HUGE crane/dolly shots!

Thursday is the big day and we are still welcoming extras to be apart of it so just message me on here and ill put you on the list.

Update tomorrow too!!

Right now I’m outside of justins house getting ready for our shoot of our film for the junior iron maker. Honestly I don’t think we will win because of all the groups doing this.Sean’s idea is unbeatable if he does it right but chuck’s animation is hilarious!!

We shall see but I’m more focused on doing my film in 2 weeks!! As well as the real iron maker (actually 24 hours) which is the day after we wrap shooting our film. It’s going to be crazy, hectic, exhausting, but so exhilirating!

Should be posting alot during then.

Until then.
